Chapter 731 - 720: The Mortal Realm

The Female Drought Demon paused, casting an enigmatic look at Ding Ling:

"Your talent is so extraordinary that it borders on the exaggerated, even terrifying. If the Demon Emperor learns of this, he will undoubtedly do everything in his power to kill you. Therefore, elevate your abilities as much as possible in the Mortal Realm to avoid being helplessly targeted by the Demon Emperor."

"Yes, Senior."

Ding Ling replied solemnly.

In his heart, he was quite delighted.

He had gained the teaching of the Zombie Ancestor, the Female Drought Demon.

His knowledge reservoir had suddenly soared by a whole level.

The techniques and skills the Female Drought Demon knew.

At a minimum, were all at the Grandmaster Level.

The majority were at the Golden Core Level.

Many were even at the Primordial Spirit Level.

With such high-quality techniques and skills under Ding Ling’s control, the progress of his Martial Arts Melting Furnace’s three legs instantly jumped by 28 points!

[Martial Arts Melting Furnace Three Legs Progress: 80%]

Such a significant increase.

Was due to the techniques he had acquired during this time like the Great Sun Buddha Purifying World Spell, Treasure Pearl Lotus Curse, Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi Curse, Xuanyuan Heart Scripture, Inner Canon of Huangdi, Heaven-Scorching Earth-Burning Technique— all of which were above the Martial Arts Primordial Spirit Level!

The quality was extremely high!

In addition, the Female Drought Demon’s discourse over three days and nights covered many ancient secret manuals, which were extremely precious and rare, numerous in quantity, and high in quality.

This was why the progress had surged so much.

"The moment the progress of the three legs is completed, it might be the time when all martial arts are refined into one furnace."

Ding Ling took a deep breath, and after chatting with the Female Drought Demon for a while, he bid her farewell and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he glanced at Xiong Ba.

Xiong Ba had been watching Ding Ling, his gaze extremely complicated.

[Obtained D-level Achievement Medal: You won the deep admiration of the Female Drought Demon.]

[Annotation: Your martial talent completely impressed her.]

[Obtained D-level Achievement Medal: You intimidated Xiong Ba and earned a certain degree of his recognition.]

[Annotation: Your immense martial power inspired awe in Xiong Ba, and your high talent left him far behind.]

Previously, he earned a C-level one from the Female Drought Demon.

Now he has another D-level one.

That two medals could appear on one person, and in a diminishing pattern, Ding Ling knew long ago, but wondered whether three or four could appear?

And Xiong Ba?

His strength hadn’t reached the Golden Core Level, which is why he only achieved a D-level medal.

Only those above Golden Core are eligible for C-level.

Grandmasters, Shattering Level strong are D-level.

And the weight of a D-level can also vary, with that of a Shattering Level strong providing more strength if used!

Ding Ling had previously logged out briefly; thus, he was naturally clear about it.

Clip-clop!

The further Ding Ling walked, the more he gradually disappeared from Xiong Ba’s view.

He let out a long sigh, his expression gloomy.

As he placed his feet in the positions of the Six Harmonies Array, following beside the Female Drought Demon, he seemed to become clearer in his perception.

The Female Drought Demon also glanced to the side, considering that Xiong Ba might very likely become a strong force among the Fire Zombies.

Fire Zombies capable of retaining their consciousness are rare.

Xiong Ba is among the outstanding ones.

...

...

Ding Ling exited the Otherworldly Space where the Fire Zombie Origin Land was located.

Crossing through that door, he landed on the back of the Dragon Turtle.

He contemplated taking away the turtle’s back.

But soon.

He sensed something unusual.

Maybe because his power had surged; upon reaching this realm, Ding Ling discovered that his strength was restricted, suppressing his cultivation realm to Shattering Level Great Perfection.

Ding Ling used the ’Divination Skill’ to slightly deduce and calculate.

Coming to realize:

If he forced himself to break free from this restriction, he would likely face the wrath and punishment of the heavens!

Might even be detested by the entire world!

At that time, all things might attack him as he walks!

"This restraining power, it appears to be a power of this world, this Heavenly Dao!"

Ding Ling realized.

Not attempting to forcibly break free.

The risk was too high; not worth it.

Moreover.

Even if he could only exert the power of Shattering Level Great Perfection.

His techniques were extremely advanced; with multiple fold enhancements, he could easily exert Golden Core Level powers to sweep through the Mortal Realm, Sword Realm, etc., without a problem.

As for the Dragon Turtle before him?

"It is the cornerstone supporting this portal’s existence. If I take away the Dragon Turtle’s back, this portal might vanish. Entering this Otherworldly Space again would become too difficult then."

"Better leave it here."

Ding Ling thought.

He even set up multiple arrays in the Eight Directions Territory of this turtle back.

Naturally intended to prevent others from taking the turtle’s back.

The turtle’s back is the hardest thing on a Divine Beast!

Consider how a single scale of a Fire Qilin can create a Fire Qilin Sword.

Such a large turtle back, how many Divine Weapons could be created from it?

Ding Ling completed the array arrangement and then left.

The Loulan Ruins still remained a scene of broken walls and ruins.

Nothing worth lingering over.

Swoosh swoosh!

At Ding Ling’s current cultivation realm, crossing thousands of feet in one step was like an ordinary occurrence, exiting the Loulan Ruins and stepping into the Mortal Realm in just a moment.

"Mortal Realm."

Ding Ling exhaled deeply.

Compared to the desolation of the Divine Realm, the solemnity of the Celestial Realm, the darkness of the Demon Realm, and the deathly silence of the Otherworldly Space, the Mortal Realm was indeed more beautiful.

Swoosh!

Stepping on the Free-Will Ascension Step, with the Infinite Crossing Power embracing him, Ding Ling moved towards the east like a gust of wind, a wisp of cloud, at extreme speed.

After some time.

He arrived at the Luoyang Imperial Palace Main Hall.

Seeing Guan Yu and Wang Bodang still guarding the Main Hall, he couldn’t help but ask a few questions.

Only then did he learn.

Three days had passed since he left Luoyang.

"It hardly felt like that long."

"It seems when traversing the river of time, the Half-God disturbed the flow of time, accelerating the passage significantly?!"

The actual situation.

Remained hard to comprehend.

But from the Female Drought Demon’s mouth, Ding Ling learned that the Demon Realm, Celestial Realm, Divine Realm, and Mortal Realm had the same temporal flow.

This pointed to a problem with the river of time.

In a short time.

Days had passed.

If more time were spent.

Would mountains and seas change?!

Ding Ling grew alarmed, increasingly feeling the need to pass on the teachings to Diao Chan and others in the Lower Realm.

"Once I finish the tasks of this world, I will go to the Three Kingdoms World and teach them the Xuanyuan Heart Scripture."

Compared to other techniques.

The Xuanyuan Heart Scripture excels in longevity.

Once at Full Level.

Living three thousand years is effortlessly attainable.

Of course, possessing Divine Blood would ensure even longer life.

Figures like the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, Female Drought Demon, and Chiyou all have Divine Blood. Divine Blood is only for members of the Ancient Divine Race.

Ding Ling and others are just ordinary humans, lacking such an advantage.

Although this is the case, the Xuanyuan Heart Scripture’s life-extending effects far exceed those of the Heaven-Transferring Divine Technique and others.

"Your Majesty. And Xiong Ba..."

Guan Yu asked, full of anticipation.

"Resolved."

"Your Majesty’s divine might!"

Guan Yu expressed his submission.
