Chapter 1053: Dying in Battle Is the Fate of Every Great Sun Sword Disciple

The Great Sun Heavenly Pool Moon Spirit spoke with utmost righteousness and immense pride, admitting to having set a trap that nearly killed the Great Sun Sword Disciple, all while looking as if she were waiting for praise.

"You wretch!"

"You damn wretch!"

The Sun-Extinguishing Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun flew into a rage: "This Canghai Tianjun saw long ago that you were no good; you were like this thousands of years ago, and now you have exposed yourself even more."

"Laozi will kill you sooner or later!"

Thousands of years ago, Chong Chong Guang Zi was surrounded and killed by nine Dao Disciples from the Jiudaxian Sect; when the Sun-Extinguishing Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun was still the Sun-Extinguishing Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun, he had joined that generation of Immortal Sect Dao Disciples in the siege and survived by sheer luck after the defeat.

Between the two, the accumulated hatred was extremely deep.

"Sun-Extinguishing little rat, stop talking big."

"You understand nothing."

The Great Sun Heavenly Pool Moon Spirit sneered: "Combat and slaughter, especially life-and-death battles against strong opponents, are supreme and precious nourishment for a Sword Disciple."

"One could say that even heavenly spiritual pills, heaven-defying opportunities, treasures of the void, and even treasures capable of merging with the Dao are nothing but dung compared to a single bloody battle against a strong opponent."

"If the Great Sun Sword Pavilion still existed, with such an opportunity, a million sword cultivators would fight until their brains were bashed out to snatch it... even then, they couldn't get it; they lack the qualification to possess it."

"For sword cultivators, the ladder to immortality lies in one life-and-death bloody battle after another against strong opponents!"

As she spoke, reason followed reason, appearing like a grand master of the sword path, exuding a quality that inspired belief and admiration.

In fact, this was indeed the truth.

The Heavenly Pool Moon Spirit was a creature created jointly by all past Great Sun Sword Masters, existing between living and non-living beings; having endured vast ages, the last Great Sun Sword Master Zou Zou Xiyuan, Chong Chong Guang Zi, and even more ancient Great Sun Sword Masters all grew up under her companionship, making her seniority terrifyingly high.

When the Heavenly Pool Moon Spirit encountered powerful figures from the Brother Xuanwu Palace, she would call them little turtles directly.

The powerful figures of the Brother Xuanwu Palace generally did not mind.

Because in past years, when he was still a Dao Disciple, the Great Sun Heavenly Pool Moon Spirit had called him that, and he had long grown accustomed to it.

The Great Sun Heavenly Pool Moon Spirit clarified a viewpoint.

For spell cultivators, life-and-death battles against strong opponents must be avoided at all costs; this implies danger, and whoever dares to plunge a spell cultivator into a life-and-death bloody battle earns an unforgivable blood feud.

For sword cultivators,

life-and-death bloody battles against powerful enemies are earth-shattering opportunities!

For an orthodox sword cultivator, such as Ming Chong Guang Zi, Chong Chong Guang Zi, or Zou Zou Xiyuan, whoever dares to block them from a life-and-death bloody battle with an enemy, they will kill whoever blocked them.

Whether enemy or friend, whether out of concern or anything else, they would be chopped to death in an instant.

Because that is obstructing their path!

"This..."

The Sun-Extinguishing Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun was speechless.

He was not skilled in the sword path, one could say he knew nothing about it, but immediately he was enraged by the title "Sun-Extinguishing little rat": "Wretch! No matter how reasonable your words are, they cannot conceal the fact that you nearly killed Jiang Ding! I see you have harbored hatred in your heart long ago, keeping evil schemes pent up inside!"

"I said long ago that everything of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion must be destroyed, including this Moon Spirit; end the future trouble sooner."

"Short-sighted!"

"How can a swallow know the aspirations of a swan?"

The Great Sun Heavenly Pool rolled her eyes: "I cannot reason with a weakling like you; as long as the Sword Disciple exists, the Great Sun Sword Pavilion exists; you understand nothing, I am too lazy to talk to you."

"As for nearly dying, then let them die."

"Chong Chong Guang Zi, Zou Zou Xiyuan, Chong Guang Mei... oh, Chong Guang Mei was the Great Sun Sword Master of the generation before Zou Zou Xiyuan; he was weaker than Zou Zou Xiyuan and was killed by powerful figures from the Badaxian Sect, but he also slew four and severely injured four, allowing the Sword Pavilion to survive."

"Let us continue,"

"Zou Zou Xiyuan and the others all died, dying in sword duels."

"It is very normal for a Great Sun Sword Disciple to die in a sword duel; what is the big deal?"

The Moon Spirit wore an expression of indifference.

"..."

The Sun-Extinguishing Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun was choked.

Scouring history, it seems few Great Sun Sword Masters of past generations died of old age; they constantly attacked the Badaxian Sect, attacking again and again, causing the powerful spell cultivators of the Badaxian Sect to rarely die of old age either.

Simply unbelievable!

The powerful figures of this generation of the Badaxian Sect are considered extremely long-lived among all past Immortal Sect powers; after the madman sect known as the Great Sun Sword Pavilion was destroyed, they lived well into their old age.

"The Great Sun Sword Pavilion..."

The surrounding Immortal Sect Canghai Tianjun watched, feeling a chill run down their spines.

Such an extreme sword path sect was truly terrifying; disregarding others' lives was one thing, but disregarding their own lives as well, actively seeking death every day like madmen.

They completely forgot that other Immortal Sects seemed to curse them in the same way.

"Sun-Extinguishing little rat, I am too lazy to talk to you."

"Sword Disciple, can you praise me?"

The Moon Spirit ignored the Sun-Extinguishing Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, turned to Jiang Ding, and asked expectantly.

"No."

Jiang Ding refused ruthlessly.

"Oh..."

The Heavenly Pool Moon Spirit was very disappointed, but immediately regained her optimism, explaining to him the problems existing in the Indestructible Sword Art during the previous battle; she simply pointed out the problems without giving answers.

The answers needed to be found by the Great Sun Sword Disciple himself.

All past Great Sun Sword Disciples were the most top-tier in comprehension within the realm; what they realized themselves was what suited them best; answers from others could only serve as references.

Jiang Ding closed his eyes.

His heart was calmer than ever before; all the past restlessness, killing intent, and desires vanished completely, leaving him in profound tranquility, as if he had become a sage.

Within his sea of consciousness, countless indestructible sword intents seemed to be boiling and coiling, about to birth something; it seemed to be a hazy thing possessing infinite vitality, and vaguely a shadow was seen.

That was a blurry world of sword Dao.

One sword emerges, its sword-light never extinguishing—one gives birth to two, two to three, three to the myriad things, forming a world of sword Dao; it will never cease until it has slain the enemy.

This is the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao—the Sword Realm!

Of course, it can clearly be seen that the many comprehensions in Jiang Ding's heart do not yet form a system; because he lacks a complete inheritance for the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao, it is as if he is forging his own path, and the progress is extremely difficult—this does not mean he has already broken through successfully.

Moreover, the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao—if one has not cultivated to an extremely profound degree, reaching the point of wielding the heavy as if it were light, with all edge and sharpness drawn inward—then with his current strength and foundation, he cannot unleash a sword of the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao.

If he were to force it, before this sword could even be unleashed, his body and divine soul would first explode into a cloud of blood-mist.

A sword of the Sword Realm is far too sharp, far too terrifying.

This is not something a Nascent Soul cultivator can wield—even the Great Sun Sword Heir cannot; the foundation is insufficient to bear it.

The foundation of a true dragon or true phoenix might be able to attempt it once or twice.

In the starry sky, things thus temporarily fell quiet.

The beings of the Blazing Stone Star Domain were as they had always been, and so they remained now, without the slightest change; to the outside world, everything here was as before, the imperial clan's relatives and friends here were all as before, sending greetings from time to time as usual.

The Blazing Stone Great Emperor was the same.

Not long after, he sent several letters to Ancient Emperor Cang Yan and a few old friends, offering sincere apologies and explaining why he had suddenly left the gathering—because his son at home was no good, had caused some trouble, asking them to bear with him, and that another day they would drink their fill and so on.

A few short years flew swiftly by.
