Chapter 1266 - Chapter 71 The Ancient Scroll


Chapter 71 The Ancient Scroll


After the secret discussion, although not many people knew what the attendees talked about, soon there was a piece of earth-shattering news.


The Patriarch of the Nine Spirits Tribe abdicated, and Crown Prince Rong Fu acceded to the throne.


Three days after the news spread, the ceremony for ascending the throne began.


After the complicated handover ceremony and some unique forms of the Nine Spirits Tribe, the tribe finally completed a full-scale leaders.h.i.+p transition.


The new patriarch of the Nine Spirits Tribe, Rong Fu, had succeeded in ascending the throne.


The entire ceremony went smoothly, and there wasn’t any disturbance at all. It was like everything ought to be like this, and it was completely different from the b.l.o.o.d.y changes during the leaders.h.i.+p transition in history.


However, Crown Prince Rong Fu, who was the current patriarch of the Nine Spirits Tribe, knew very well that this was because he had the support of Ding Hao, a giant G.o.d. At least in the eyes of outsiders, Ding Hao was indeed on his side.


After successfully becoming the patriarch, Rong Fu had to deal with many complicated matters due to the previous battle, making him extremely busy all day long.


However, although there were many things that needed to be dealt with, the capable Crown Prince settled them with the help of Wusun Liuce. He was promising to become a wise ruler.

.....

After Rong Fu ascended to the throne, he was eager to deal with national affairs and his means were strong. He dealt with the ones with bad intentions before they could stir up trouble in the Nine Spirits Tribe. In addition, he was very polite to his subjects and loved his people as much as he loved his sons. When the tribesmen talked about him, they all praised him and were not unwilling to be ruled by him at all.


In just a few years, the Nine Spirits Tribe had been handled in an orderly manner by the new patriarch. The tribe began its golden era and became one of the top forces in the Primordial World.


The previous patriarch and the new Emperor Emeritus, Rong Zun, was very pleased with the performance of Rong Fu. Relieved, he retired and left the family business to his son. He cultivated all day long to improve his cultivation level.


As for Rong Zhan, after the war, he continued to retire and concentrate on cultivation.


Of course, this was all in the future.


On this day, after the handover ceremony, Rong Fu was full of grat.i.tude. He thanked Ding Hao many times. In addition to giving him the ancient book with the description of the Heart of Heaven and Earth, he also proposed many other ways to repay Ding Hao, but they were all rejected by the latter.


Ding Hao knew that Rong Fu really wanted to repay him, but he just didn’t need it. What he wanted most now was still the ancient book.


After listening to Ding Hao, Rong Fu felt helpless. He and Wusun Liuce immediately took Ding Hao and Evil Moon to the royal library.


Soon, Ding Hao and the others came to the palace marked with the words “Royal Library”.


“Brother Ding, this palace is the royal library of our Nine Spirits Tribe. There are two powerful tactical deployments here. You can’t enter without specific means.” As he spoke, Rong Fu took out a token of purple gold with the word “Rong” carved on the front and a dragon and a phoenix on the back. He waved it at Ding Hao.


Ding Hao had been here before, so he naturally knew what Rong Fu meant.


Rong Fu walked over in a few steps and arrived in front of the bronze cauldron that was as tall as three people. He held the token and inserted it into the groove in front of the bronze cauldron.


After doing this, Rong Fu moved his lips slightly. After chanting a few incantations, he pointed at the bronze cauldron.


At the same time that Rong Fu stopped, the bronze cauldron spun automatically. Wisps of cyan light spread out and entered the surrounding ground.


As the cyan light was injected, the patterns on the ground began to change. At the same time, the top-grade Dark Stones within also emitted a misty white light.


The power of the restriction formations in front of Ding Hao and the others gradually dissipated. When the unusual scene completely disappeared, a gap of two or three meters wide appeared in front of them.


Rong Fu looked at Ding Hao with an embarra.s.sed expression and said, “Brother Ding, because of the rules of the tribe, I can’t send people to help you find that ancient book. I’m really sorry for delaying your time.”


Ding Hao smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Patriarch Rong, you’re too courteous. Nothing can be accomplished without rules. I know your difficulties very well. My cat and I would be sufficient to find that ancient book.”


“Brother Ding, it’s great that you can understand.” Rong Fu said with a smile, “I need to go back and deal with some affairs of the tribe now. When you find the book, you can come out directly…”


Wusun Liuce described the ancient book briefly to Ding Hao, but because it had been too long, he couldn’t remember where he saw the ancient book. Ding Hao had expected this and didn’t feel any regret.


After chatting for a while, Rong Fu and Wusun Liuce turned around and left.


“Ding Hao, you’ll go in alone. I still have something to deal with…” Seeing that the palace was so big, Evil Moon seemed to know that this ancient book was not easy to find and wanted to leave.


Ding Hao would not let it slack off. He pinched the fur behind its neck and walked in.


“Hey, Human Pet, Ding Hao, how dare you treat me like this… I will go in. You don’t have to carry me like this. If others see me like this, I’ll be so embarra.s.sed…” With the voice of Evil Moon, the man and the cat entered the palace. The gap was restored, and the royal library became quiet again.


As soon as they entered, they saw a hall with a radius of hundreds of meters. The smell of books came to their noses, and the surroundings were quiet.


“It’s so big. Meow, I’m dizzy. There are so many books. When will we find that one? I can’t hold on. I’m pa.s.sing out. Ding Hao, look for the book by yourself…” Evil Moon looked at the rows of bookshelves with a height of tens of meters around them. Immediately, its vision blurred. It fell with a “puff” and fainted.


Ding Hao did not pay attention to this funny cat. Looking at the countless books, he was also a little surprised. Then, he did not waste time. He went straight to the first bookshelf, took out a scroll, and began to look for the ancient book.


According to the memory of Wusun Liuce, Ding Hao knew that the ancient book was an ancient scroll, whose cover was made of the skin of a White-fire Corrupted Flood Dragon, which could be regarded as a valuable thing.


Seeing that Ding Hao ignored it, Evil Moon muttered a few words, got up, and began to help find the scroll.


Although Evil Moon thought it troublesome, it also worked very hard, and its speed was not much slower than that of Ding Hao.


In less than two hours, the man and the cat had read tens of thousands of books and scrolls. However, since the library was huge, the number of books they had read was still as small as a drop in the bucket.


Soon, a day had pa.s.sed.


“Where is the ancient scroll? Show yourself now. Don’t hide from me…” Evil Moon turned over the scrolls and muttered, “Oh, why can’t I find it everywhere? Did that old man lie to us? No, even if he dares to lie to Ding Hao, he wouldn’t dare to lie to me…”


Compared with the chattering Evil Moon, Ding Hao seemed very calm. He picked the books up, flipped them over, and put them down.


Another day pa.s.sed. Ding Hao and Evil Moon did not know how many books they had read, but the scroll with the description of the Heart of Heaven and Earth still did not appear.


Evil Moon began to be a little annoyed, but seeing that Ding Hao was so patient to search, it knew the importance of the Heart of Heaven and Earth, so it could only be patient and continue to search.


On the third day-


“Why haven’t we found it yet? Where is that book? I can’t stand it. I’m really dizzy. Am I ill? I can’t, can’t…” Unable to find the ancient book, Evil Moon, who had been active, finally couldn’t stand it. It just took out a scroll casually and threw it out in a fit of anger.


It happened to be thrown at the place where Ding Hao was standing.


Ding Hao took the scroll and looked at Evil Moon, who was shaking its head with a bitter face. He couldn’t help laughing. “d.a.m.n. It’s only been a while, and you can’t stand it. There are still a lot of books here.”


Seeing that Evil Moon was speechless and looking at him with resentment, Ding Hao shook his head and said, “Fine. Go have a rest…” With Evil Moon’s character, it was good enough for Evil Moon to have searched with him for so long, and it seemed that the ancient book was not so easy to find. It was okay to let it have a rest.


Evil Moon cheered, lying in the air, yawning, and said hypocritically, “It’s not that I want to rest. I’m resting because you say so… Phew… Phew…” As soon as it finished the last word, its eyes were closed. In less than a few seconds, there was a snore.


Looking at the sleeping Evil Moon, Ding Hao laughed inwardly. After shaking his head, he turned around and continued to look for the scroll.


“Hmm? This scroll seems to be…” As soon as Ding Hao turned around, he inadvertently rubbed the scroll with his hand. Only then did he remember the scroll that had just been thrown by Evil Moon. He had an idea. After a little inquiry, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the scroll was made of the skin of the White-fire Corrupted Flood Dragon.


The scroll was white-yellow and half a meter long. It was as thick as a fist, and there was a thin purple-gold rope tied to it.


“Is this the scroll I’ve been looking for?” Ding Hao found that the scroll looked almost the same as described by Wusun Liuce.


Without hesitation, Ding Hao undid the rope, opened the scroll, and read its contents.


After a few glances, Ding Hao’s eyes became brighter and brighter, and his face inadvertently showed joy.


“Found it!”


Evil Moon was awakened by Ding Hao’s voice. After it trembled, it opened its eyes and saw the joy on Ding Hao’s face. Evil Moon couldn’t help but be stunned. Then, it glanced at the scroll in Ding Hao’s hand and said in surprise, “What? This is it?”


Ding Hao nodded, looked up at Evil Moon, and said with a smile, “Yes, this is the scroll we’ve been looking for.”


“Tell me quickly about the Heart of Heaven and Earth. Huh? Isn’t that the scroll that I just threw? Meow, haha. I’m indeed powerful…” Hearing what Ding Hao said, Evil Moon flew to him. Halfway through, it saw that the scroll was what it had just thrown away. Evil Moon couldn’t help being smug and even asked for a reward. “Ding Hao, I have made a great contribution this time. How will you repay me?”


Ding Hao directly ignored its last words, but he still told it about the situation of the Heart of Heaven and Earth described in the scroll.
