Chapter 0002: The Young Ding Hao

These wicked servants are going too far, waking me up as soon as I enter tranquility; how can I possibly awaken? Previously, Ding Hao was too weak; when faced with such treatment, he merely submitted, allowing these villains to become increasingly brazen

This is true high technology. Ding Hao nodded, stating, In such a world, ordinary people who have not awakened their celestial roots truly lack even the ability to farm or work!

Without further ado, Ding Hao did not delay, and immediately returned to sit cross-legged on the Bodhi cushion by the bed, holding the black stone in his mouth

"Big Yellow, go bite that waste to death!" Ding Jun Cai shouted sternly

The dog also entered a state of tranquility, this stone is truly remarkable. Ding Hao patted the dog's head a couple of times before finally putting the stone away and placing it in his mouth

However, at that moment, a loud bang was heard from outside the house. Ding Hao, who had not yet awakened, soon heard the sound of a copper basin falling to the ground, followed by a tremendous crash. As if that were not enough, Ding Hao felt his body being violently jolted, instantly pulling him out of his tranquil state

In the previous life on Earth, there was a strong promotion of agricultural modernization and industrial-scale production. However, in this world, by simply utilizing some minor celestial root techniques, an individual can easily cultivate dozens or even hundreds of acres.

Every time he held this stone, he could hear this phrase, and then, Ding Hao immediately entered a state of clear and tranquil meditation, before him lay a vast and indistinct void

Enter tranquility

"Big Yellow, go bite him! Go!"

Ding Jun Cai shouted again, "Da Huang, bite him, and I will give you a bone to eat"

If there is a statue made of silver, gold, or jade standing in the main hall of a home, even the Three Sovereigns and Nine Rulers of the small world of the Nine Provinces would come to kneel and pay their respects

Ding Hao did not linger in the hall, but instead wrapped some incense ash items in his clothing and exited the hall. After coming out, he saw Ding Jun Cai standing under a tree with Da Huang, holding a piece of meat bone from a freshly skinned beast in his hand

Ding Hao is not a naive and easily deceived good man. The descendants of the Ding family have all inherited the shameless and despicable character of the old demon Ding Chunqiu, resulting in a very poor reputation. Therefore, Ding Hao's father named him "Ding Hao," which means "righteousness is vast and mighty!"

However, it is regrettable that this time, Da Huang did not obey his orders

The Bristly Beast is a low-level spirit beast in the Jiuzhou world, known for its tender and delicious meat, which is beneficial for those with awakened celestial roots when consumed in moderation

Damn it! Ding Hao thought that while he was burning incense and paying respects to his ancestors, they did not show any signs of blessing, but instead attracted a dog.

Woof woof woof! The yellow dog barked loudly and pounced on Ding Hao

"Big Yellow, bite him to death and come out to eat the bones!" Ding Jun Cai shouted recklessly from outside, but did not come in

These people are truly despicable! No wonder Ding Hao was unable to awaken before; it is all your fault!

Good! This stone has also come with me, truly a blessing from heaven!

"Toasting and singing, how much is life worth? With a tranquil mind and clarity of heart, I am not disturbed by trivial matters"

Since these wicked servants would not allow him to enter the quiet, he simply left his small room

Ding Hao picked up the incense on the table, lit it, and bowed twice to the tall wooden sculpture in front of him. He silently thought: "Senior, please do not blame me. Although my soul is not that of your great-grandson, my body still is... Senior, may you bless me to awaken soon..."

Awakened abruptly from a state of tranquility, one feels extremely uncomfortable, and Ding Hao's face turns pale

Ding Yibai is a true cultivator at the False Dan level in the Immortal Refining Great World, and thus can barely use a wooden胎 statue! If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment level, only a clay胎 could be used! If it were at the Qi Refining level, only a memorial tablet could be used!

In the world of Jiuzhou, it is stipulated that if an ancestor has become a powerful figure in the Immortal Refining Great World, a statue can be erected in the home within the Jiuzhou Small World. The more statues there are, the greater the influence; the higher the cultivation level of the ancestor, the better the materials that can be used for the statue

The big yellow dog still did not move; in the end, it simply softened its hind legs and lay down right there.

Ding Haoyue approached closer, coming to the front, pointing at the maid with his finger, and said word by word, "I warn you one last time! I, Ding Hao, am not to be trifled with. The first time is incense ash, the second time is blades and swords!"

Soon, the sound of crackling and popping echoed from outside. In fact, these sounds had no effect on Ding Hao; the black stone had a strong state of tranquility, and even thunder outside posed no issue. What Ding Hao feared most was that those maidservants would deliberately rush in and bump into him

In the world of Kyushu, people mature early. At the age of ten, Ding Jun had a clear understanding that in order for his family to become the masters of the Ding family, they must eliminate this useless person

The Ding family belongs to a middle-class household, with five courtyards in the front and back of their residence. Over the years, they have nearly fallen into decline. However, even a broken ship still has a few nails; the family still employs some servants and gardeners.

"You can't even bite me, yet you insist on biting me to death?" Ding Hao was filled with rage in his heart, "Only ten years old, how can one be so malicious?"

When significant events occur in the family, whether it be lighting incense to pray or facing great difficulties at home, the ancestral statues will manifest their presence to ensure the safety of the household

Who are you trying to scare? Although the maid still spoke defiantly, she was ultimately in the wrong and turned to leave.

Looking at the urging Ding Jun Cai, Ding Hao coldly snorted, "Your Ding family, having committed countless misdeeds and being utterly immoral, even dogs would not help you. Await your retribution!"

A gardener was seen beside a tree, placing his hand on it, using the mystical root technique to communicate with the tree, guiding its growth in the desired direction and enabling it to bear fruit; in the garden, several maids were planting flowers, and with a wave of their hands, they employed the mystical root technique, completing the processes of pest control and fertilization for a small area of flowers in front of them. Then, a maid with water roots raised her hand to summon clouds and rain, watering these fresh flowers

One must never underestimate this type of statue, as it truly possesses the ability to manifest spiritual presence

This object is the main culprit behind his ability to traverse dimensions. It is said to be a relic of the old demon Ding Chunqiu. This stone has one primary function, which is to assist individuals in entering a state of tranquility. When practicing the Star Absorption Technique on Earth, it is also necessary to achieve this state of tranquility. Each time, Ding Hao would place it under his tongue, and he could quickly enter a state of calmness.

The maid scrutinized Ding Hao with disdain and said, "Master? How amusing. At 15 years old, you still haven't awakened; what right do you have to be a master? Even I awakened at 13! You are merely fortunate to have been born in a good place!"

Ding Hao felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart, and he opened his mouth to expel a piece of black stone

After speaking, he turned and walked towards his residence

This stone has been with Ding Hao for too long, therefore whenever it takes effect is entirely within Ding Hao's thoughts

What a marvelous world, Ding Hao thought to himself

What is going on! The maid suddenly opened her eyes and found Ding Hao already awake, looking at her with a cold smile

Ding Hao thought to himself, this Ding Laosi is truly a malicious and wicked servant! He repeatedly claims to be out of money, yet he spent ten taels of silver to buy a book for himself. One must ask, with how many mouths living in the Ding household, where does the money for food and drink come from? Even the dog of Ding Laosi's second son has started eating the meat of the hairy beast, while he, Ding Hao, as the young master of the Ding family, has yet to taste what the meat of the hairy beast is like

However, it is regrettable that the ancestor of the Ding family has not manifested for a long time, as it is unknown what events have transpired in the Immortal Refining Great World. Even after the death of Ding Hao's father, there has been no sign of the ancestor. Therefore, some speculate that the ancestor of the Ding family may be in grave danger in the Immortal Refining Great World

It is truly despicable, the servant bullies the master! How can one find peace in such circumstances? Ding Hao was filled with rage.

Such matters are quite common in this world; when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer. When the ancestors are alive, all is well; when the ancestors perish, the entire realm is doomed.

At this moment, a yellow dog suddenly ran in from outside the lobby

Ding Hao has quite a way with dogs; he spat out a black stone and then approached the large yellow dog with the stone in hand

Returning to his residence, Ding Hao made the necessary arrangements and then sat cross-legged, pretending to meditate

A voice that only the large yellow dog could hear came from the black stone, and then this fierce large yellow dog unexpectedly knelt down with a thud, its eyes wide open, and it fell into a state of stillness.

After a brief moment of stillness, Da Huang appeared somewhat dazed in the dog's eyes, glanced at Ding Hao, and then turned and ran out.

"Waste, how dare you mock me?" The maid was covered in fragrant ash, her face looking displeased, and what frustrated her the most was that this fragrant ash was very difficult to brush off

Indeed, upon discovering Ding Hao sitting there motionless, a maid in a red dress entered with a broom. However, just as she was about to push open the half-closed door, a loud crash was heard, and a large amount of incense ash fell down, covering the maid's head and face completely

He walked along the corridor and arrived in the main hall, where there was a wooden statue, which was a carving of his great-grandfather Ding Yibai

"Toasting to the wine, how much is life worth? With a tranquil mind and clarity of heart, one remains untainted by the slightest dust."

What does it matter to you if I am not yet awakened? Do not forget that you eat the food of the Ding family and wear the clothes of the Ding family! If it were not for the celestial title earned by the ancestors of the Ding family, where would the monthly stipend of fifty taels from the state come from? Without this stipend, how would you have the means to eat, drink, and live? You enjoy the blessings of the Ding family in all aspects of life, yet you go to extremes in everything, preventing me from meditating and entering tranquility, attempting to usurp my celestial identity!

"Teasing you?" Ding Hao stood up and said coldly, "As a maid, you enter the master's room as if it were your own home, without even knocking on the door. Let me ask you if you understand the rules; what kind of maid are you? Who is the master here, you or me?"

Hmph, you cunning and malicious servants, I naturally have ways to deal with you!" Ding Hao said resentfully

As he dodged the dog, he looked up and saw the figure of a ten-year-old boy flash by outside. Recognizing the silhouette, Ding Hao identified him as the second son of the notorious Ding Lao Si, Ding Jun Cai

However, it is unfortunate that Ding Hao's personality... heh.

It turns out that the vile servant Ding Laosi, in order to prevent Ding Hao from entering a state of tranquility and awakening, instructed the household servants that whenever they saw Ding Hao sitting cross-legged in meditation, they would immediately start banging on tables and knocking on benches. If he still did not awaken, they would directly strike a copper basin, and there were even maids in the household who would come in with brooms and other items, pretending to clean, but would violently strike Ding Hao.
