Lord of the Heavenly Realm

Ding Ling looked back.

The Jade Steps he had just crossed numbered only nine hundred and ninety-nine.

There had never been an endless number of them. Rather, the Jade Steps were imbued with a wondrous spell that made ordinary people who stepped onto them become incomparably small, making everything they saw seem infinitely vast.

It was not until he entered the main hall.

That feeling disappeared.

Ding Ling was astonished. Looking at the Heaven Realm again, he still found it extraordinary, but that sense of infinite vastness was gone.

And at the highest position in the main hall.

Someone was sitting there.

This person was nothing but a skeleton. His exact appearance could not be discerned, but merely sitting there, he gave off an overwhelming might that seemed capable of making all the people of the Nine Provinces submit!

"Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan?"

Ding Ling called out.

He did not know where Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan was.

But the golden line did not appear again. Presumably, this was the destination he had been meant to reach.

"Young man. I already know why you have come."

As a gentle voice like warm jade rang out.

A golden light suddenly drifted out from the skeleton.

The golden light rapidly condensed into a human figure.

The man was tall and powerfully built, radiating Heaven-and-Earth Righteous Qi. He wore a dragon robe and a crown, standing on the steps as he stared at Ding Ling.

"Watch carefully. This is the method of the Xuanyuan Heart Sutra."

The man did not waste a word. He directly began explaining the method to Ding Ling, demonstrating it as he spoke.

It seemed he had no time to explain its profound principles and essence.

Or perhaps he had long known about Ding Ling's unparalleled talent, so he did not say
