Chapter 1037: The Great Sun Sword Child Forces the Immortal Sect Dao Child to Grow Stronger

The Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Dao Child began to revive.

"A great emperor of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan…"

Jiang Ding silently thought.

While he held awe for Emperor Yan Shi, he did not look up at him, nor did he feel uneasy or let his thoughts run wild; he thought with precision.

The current him was clearly different from Dong Xue He Wang.

Dong Xue He Wang harbored an intense greed and craving for living beings, layered with the extreme racial stance of a human sword cultivator, plus demonic thoughts on the verge of losing control — basically a typical old sword-path demon, the kind with a firm Dao heart.

The main body was different.

The main body had no interest in killing, only in the deaths of the strong; normally, unless necessary, he would not appear before the weak at all, hiding within the void — let alone talk about killing them.

His Dao heart was also different from Dong Xue He Wang's.

While the main body held an unshakable stance toward the human race, he also had sufficient patience and goodwill toward the living beings of all races, believing that outstanding beings among the myriad races could coexist under the order of the human race, adding diversity to the immortal Dao, and together contributing to the extremely arduous and extremely glorious path of becoming an immortal.

In summary, because of the difference in path, the main body was a fairly easy person to get along with; if you weren't strong enough, even wanting to provoke him would be hard to do — he was very tolerant of the weak, and had a very good temper.

Jiang Ding split off a wisp of his divine soul and entered the Divine Soul Void Realm.

In the hazy, misty void space, nine figures with blurred forms and auras stood quietly, not discussing anything, as if they had already been waiting for who knows how long.

Swish!

The gazes of the nine Dao Children turned toward the newly appeared figure, revealing many complex shades of emotion.

'The Great Sun Sword Child of the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect…'

Some Dao Children muttered this name in their hearts.

Although they had many opinions, dissatisfaction, even anger about the process, the final result clearly demonstrated the correctness of the other party — the infiltration mission that had once seemed extremely difficult was largely completed with ease amid the other party's stirring of the winds and clouds.

Yes, with ease.

Ease to the point of being unbelievable; there were none of the many hardships and dangers, the various narrow escapes, the heart-stopping moments they had imagined before coming — it was completed step by step, just like that.

What they had done was continuously infiltrate the living beings of the various races, set up formations, set up formations, and set up formations again — not even a single decent battle took place; the whole process was utterly boring, without a single rise and fall.

Regarding this result, apart from the Great Yin Sword Child Yu Yu Qianzi's extreme dissatisfaction, all the Dao Children were very satisfied, feeling no humiliation whatsoever.

No, they were not just satisfied.

They were very, especially, extremely satisfied!

Let those sword barbarians handle the fighting and killing.

They, the law cultivators, were originally suited to doing this kind of safe, low-risk work; during this process, the improvement of their strength would not be affected in the slightest.

A great Dao with?? -like prospects.

Their law cultivators simply did not need to fight; fighting was useless to them and could not help them Break Through Realm.

The Break Through Realm of their realm was related to the tempering of their own Dao heart, the comprehension of Dao scriptures, the honing of the hundred arts of cultivation, the observation of the principles between all things in heaven and earth and all living beings, as well as many heavenly materials and earthly treasures — it had nothing to do with fighting at all.

All the dangerous work was done by someone else; they only needed to do the rough work behind.

This kind of life was truly something to be nostalgic for.

Because of this, Dao Children such as Ji Liuyue and An Tuzi looked at Jiang Ding with gazes that had become a tiny, tiny, tiny… tiny bit friendlier.

Just that much.

It was impossible to be any more.

As long as the Great Sun Sword Child did not give up that broken sword of his that could go berserk at any moment for a single day, they would forever be mortal enemies — more serious than enemies with irreconcilable hatred — a Dao dispute where one must die and the other fall, where one side must completely perish.

"How are the preparations?"

Jiang Ding's gaze swept across the nine great Dao Children, pausing for a moment especially before the Great Yin Sword Child Yu Yu Qianzi, who was eager to try.

Although Great Yin sword cultivators were relatively more inclined toward flexibility, icy coldness, and concealment compared to Great Sun sword cultivators, they were still sword cultivators — after several hundred years without fighting, constantly in hiding, she was nearly driven mad.

Very weak.

Her Dao heart was not firm enough.

"We have already completed the formations in each location."

"Moreover, because of ample time, we have reserved a great deal of formation margin; even if accidents occur, we can ensure the formations can ultimately operate as intended and achieve the desired effect."

The Heavenly Mechanism Dao Child spoke.

The Great Sun Sword Child normally did not bother with these matters at all, too lazy to do them, leaving them all to them — this actually fit quite well with the style of a Great Sun Sword Pavilion Sword Child: doing nothing, minding nothing, only caring about fighting.

This was no problem; as for this rough work, the Heavenly Mechanism Dao Child himself was quite willing.

"Now, we just need to lure that one to appear near the Mo Shi Xiao Gao Jie."

"As long as we can accomplish this, our objective has a more than ninety-five percent chance of success."

The Heavenly Mechanism Dao Child said in a deep voice: "Moreover, even if that one is not in the Mo Shi Xiao Gao Jie, as long as he is currently within the Yan Shi Star Region, we can immediately activate the formations in each location now, and there is still a one to two percent chance of instantly capturing him, or instantly slaying him and using his corpse to create another puppet."

That one naturally referred to Emperor Yan Shi.

Many cultivators with extremely powerful strength possessed an instinct that allowed them to know when living beings beyond a thousand mountains and ten thousand waters mentioned their name — a terrifying ability akin to karma.

Therefore, it had to be avoided with the utmost effort, even though they were within the Divine Soul Void Realm created by the top-tier stealth and concealment techniques of the Nine Spirit Domain, which could block karmic probing.

"We have already begun to have some confidence."

"However,

?? The best situation is naturally still to lure that one to appear near the Mo Shi Xiao Gao Jie; only this way can we be absolutely sure."

The Heavenly Mechanism Dao Child looked at the blurred figure before him and asked: "Do you have confidence? Do you need us to act?"

"The current situation is already much better; even if one or two flaws or oversights appear, it is of no matter, irrelevant to the overall situation — many powers can be unsealed now; after success, we can carefully sweep away the traces."

Until now, the Nine Spirit Domain was still united, with no risk of internal war between the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong breaking out; therefore, he was willing to offer his help.

"No need."

"You would only ruin things; just stay put obediently."

Jiang Ding refused outright, without a shred of hesitation.

"Only good for causing trouble?"

The Heaven's Mechanism Candidate Daozi, Ji Liuyue, and others twitched their eyebrows.

They longed to open their Nine Candidate Daozi Domains right now and surround and slay this Sword Cultivator here, especially since there was no outside support from the Eastern Pole Dongji Dongji Mo Men's Teacher Gu Lin and his taboo nuclear weapon— their odds of victory were now quite high.

They had sufficient confidence in this regard.

It was true that the Great Sun Sword Candidate Daozi's strength had grown rapidly.

But they too were Candidate Daozi, receiving the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong's full-hearted cultivation support— their own growth rates were no slower!

Due to the appearance of the Outer Realm, they had received cultivation resources exceeding those given to any past Candidate Daozi; even the Great Beings were willing to sacrifice their own interests to nurture them.

One could say that, because this generation's Great Sun Sword Candidate Daozi's strength had risen, it had in turn spurred the Candidate Daozi's own growth, and under external pressure, Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong had increased its cultivation investment— the Eight Candidate Daozi's strength was likewise surpassing most past Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Candidate Daozi.

This was the importance of competition and tempering for talent.

When the enemy grows stronger, you must grow stronger too, or you would already be dead.

Now, like Jiang Ding, the Heaven's Mechanism Candidate Daozi and others, having greatly increased their strength, had also become arrogant; some more radical Candidate Daozi even attempted to actively surround and slay the Great Sun Sword Candidate Daozi, hoping to eliminate the threat quickly and stop being constantly fearful— even their cultivation required reserving a portion of their soul awareness for early warning.

Yet after a moment's thought, the Heaven's Mechanism Candidate Daozi and others ultimately held back.

Now was truly not the time.

"If you don't need help, then fine."

"Let the outcome be as you say— no unexpected incidents."

The Heaven's Mechanism Candidate Daozi said grimly.

"Don't speak recklessly."

"I never guaranteed there wouldn't be any incidents— if they happen, they happen. It's not my fault, just your incompetence. What does that have to do with me…"

Jiang Ding murmured.

His figure gradually vanished, leaving the Soul Void Realm.
