Chapter 1065: The Loyal Master Tushan Maidservants Forever Protect the Canghai Tianjun

Jiang Ding fell into some complicated thoughts.

Mainly, three hundred years had passed, so inevitably many people who had once been very familiar had vanished, sinking into the past, never to be seen again.

This kind of parting, never to meet again, made the heart feel a little sad.

"Sigh—"

"The heartlessness of time is precisely like this."

Jiang Ding sighed and put away his soft demeanor.

He looked toward Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting's governmental treasure—the Ten Thousand Li Beacon Fire Terrace. After so many years of automatic array refinement, it had already advanced from quasi-fifth-tier to fifth-tier, becoming a true Primordial Spirit treasure, capable of operating automatically by relying on the Liu Dao Sect's fifth-tier superior-grade spirit vein.

Within the Ten Thousand Li Beacon Fire Terrace, a great deal of pending governmental affairs, intelligence, and changes that had occurred in Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting over these several hundred years—births and deaths of cultivators… and so on, a vast amount of data—must have already accumulated.

As long as Jiang Ding's divine sense connected into it, he could immediately understand the changes that had taken place in Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting over these years.

Of course, there were also the taxes that had not been collected for over three hundred years, all stored in the warehouses of Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting.

Calculating at an average of fifty billion low-grade spirit stones per year, over three hundred years, a very large sum should have accumulated, enough to consider repaying the immortal sect's fifty trillion loan.

However, Jiang Ding did not want to learn so quickly right now; he did not adopt the most efficient method.

"Someone come."

Jiang Ding's voice was soft.

Just like many years ago, when he was still at Foundation Establishment cultivation, busy bustling about in Master Tushan Xiancheng of the Three Kingdoms lands, building his first city, attending to everything personally, caring about public order, caring about the auction house, caring about the talisman shop… caring about everything.

At that time, the Master Tushan maidservants accompanied him at his side.

Someone come.

This call was clearly soft, yet like a sudden thunderclap, appearing in the ears of the maidservants on duty outside the great hall.

So much so that they all froze, suspecting they were hearing things.

Twelve Nascent Soul-tier maidservants wore long swords at their waists, their bodies standing as straight as swords. Among them were three Yao Zu Demon Sovereigns and nine human Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun, secretly conforming to the five-to-one human-supremacy order law strictly enforced in Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting.

They had already stood here for twenty years, motionless as statues, even their breathing soft, the swaying of their hair limited to one inch, with extremely strict standards in bearing.

A few months later, another twelve Nascent Soul-tier maidservants would come to replace them.

For over three hundred years, although Tushan Canghai Tianjun had not summoned them even once, the Master Tushan maidservants still strictly obeyed the regulations, rotating in an orderly manner, never slackening, guarding the safety of the Canghai Tianjun.

Whether the Canghai Tianjun needed it or not, this was their duty.

At this moment, the twelve Nascent Soul-tier maidservants were dumbfounded, looking rather adorably bewildered.

"Someone come.

"

Jiang Ding revealed a smile and spoke again.

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

In an instant, the twelve maidservants revealed expressions of wild joy and instantly flew into the great hall, where they indeed saw a sixteen-year-old youth in blue robes smiling at them, his features delicate and youthful, unchanged in the slightest.

"Master!"

"We pay respects, Master!"

The twelve maidservants dropped to one knee, then raised their heads, their eyes filled with excitement and adoration.

"No need for such ceremony."

Jiang Ding smiled and looked at these twelve Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun.

They were all still rather familiar people.

Among them were Yu Bai of the variant Moonlight Rabbit bloodline, Kong Kong Yuling of the Five-Colored Kong Que clan, and Baihua Ling of the Three-Tailed Fox clan—these three were all Yao Zu Di Pin bloodlines he had unearthed in Master Tushan Xiancheng, equivalent to human Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

So many years had passed, and they had advanced to mid-Nascent Soul, already capable of holding their own.

The nine human Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun were also those maidservants from the Master Tushan Xiancheng period and the Wangting Wangting Fudi war period. After so many years of turnover, Foundation Establishment and Jin Dan cultivators had reached the end of their lifespans, and those remaining had without exception advanced to Nascent Soul stage.

"Yes, Master!"

A large group of twittering and chattering maidservants rose to their feet, curiously looking at their Canghai Tianjun.

"Master, you… have you finished your closed-door cultivation?"

The variant Moonlight Rabbit Yu Bai asked curiously.

She was truly filled with astonishment.

As expected of a Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun, whose lifespan was so long it left Nascent Soul cultivators in despair—a single closed-door cultivation alone had spanned a quarter of a Nascent Soul cultivator's life.

This period of time alone was enough to take a high-spirited early Nascent Soul cultivator into the twilight of his years.

"Mm."

"The closed-door cultivation has ended for now."

Jiang Ding nodded lightly: "Yu Bai, tell me what has happened over these years."

He wanted to come into closer contact with the current Northern Plains, rather than the cold data within the Ten Thousand Li Beacon Fire Terrace; some emotions needed to be released.

"Yes, Master."

Yu Bai, who grew a pair of adorable rabbit ears and a fluffy cotton-ball rabbit tail, said in a clear voice: "Master, over these years Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting has developed steadily, without suffering any external enemies… without suffering any Soul Transformation-tier external enemies."

"There were still some Nascent Soul-tier external enemies—remnants hidden in the Western Desert, Southern Border, and Eastern Sea—who caused some minor damage, but these were all eagerly handled by the sword cultivators of the Great Sun Long Sword Capital."

"Everything else was fine; the four seas were calm, with hardly any disturbances."

"It's just… some predecessors have passed away."

She stole a glance at the blue-robed youth on the Liu Dao Wang Zuo.

"Tell me, which old friends?"

Jiang Ding sighed

and said.

"Hun Yuan Fa Tian's Chief Commander, Master Tianyang Master Dinghai Zhenjun, attempted to break through to the Soul Transformation Realm two hundred and thirty-seven years ago and perished beneath the heavenly tribulation. The position of Chief Commander of Hun Yuan Fa Tian was succeeded by the most powerful and meritorious, Da'ai Master Dinghai Zhenjun."

"Darifa Sect's Chief Commander of the Long Sword, Zhenjun Xu Fang Master Dinghai Zhenjun, attempted to break through to the Soul Transformation Realm one hundred and fifty-eight years ago and perished beneath the heavenly tribulation. The position of Chief Commander of Darifa Sect's Long Sword was succeeded by Lieyang Master Dinghai Zhenjun."

Yu Bai immediately spoke of the deaths of two important figures from Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting.

These two Master Dinghai Zhenjun were both renowned for their military achievements and held high positions and great power; thus, they successfully exchanged for the Soul Transformation Gong Fa, the Tribulation Crossing secret arts, and opportunities for Soul Transformation, yet in the end, they each perished beneath the heavenly tribulation.

This cannot help but be called the heartless Dao.

Jiang Ding sighed lightly.

At this moment, he recalled the scene of his first meeting with Zhenjun Xu Fang Master Dinghai Zhenjun and Master Tianyang Master Dinghai Zhenjun.

Both Master Dinghai Zhenjun were famous heroes of the Northern Plains; at first, he was somewhat hostile toward the two Master Dinghai Zhenjun, only becoming friends after he descended upon Darifa Sword Sect, at which point the two Master Dinghai Zhenjun truly devoted themselves to Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting.

In the various battles of Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting, the two Master Dinghai Zhenjun also performed to the best of their ability.

"This,"

"These are the fate of us cultivators."

Jiang Ding took out a cup of fruit juice and drank it in one gulp.

—He never drank alcohol, whether common wine or the precious immortal spiritual wine, for it would make his mind less clear and bring danger upon himself.

"Two hundred and thirty-one years ago, the former head of the Mu family of Bingxuedian, Bingyu Master Dinghai Zhenjun, died of old age."

"One hundred and seventy-one years ago, the former head of the Yin family of Liu Dao Sect, Disciple Yin Dao Master Dinghai Zhenjun, died of old age."

"One hundred and sixty-seven years ago, the former Chuyun Master Dinghai Zhenjun of Darifa Sect died of old age."

"One hundred and sixty-five years ago..."

Yu Bai recounted the news one by one with a somewhat heavy tone; all were Nascent Soul heroes of the Northern Plains who had once dominated the era.

Under the passage of time, they slowly walked toward their end, buried in time, becoming part of history.

The young people of that era, Blood Flow Cloud, Lieyang Sword Disciple, Liu Dao Sacred Disciple, Da'ai Master Dinghai Zhenjun, Han Lin, and others, had begun to become the oldest Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun.
