Chapter 1084: The Foundation of the Immortal Gate and Immortal Dao is Surging Madly

"Senior Brother Ming Chong Guang, do not worry."

Xi Ping'an respectfully offered a cup of wine and said, "I walk the path of Incense Deity. My father left me enough heavenly treasures; I lack nothing. Having more would be useless."

"What I lack is only hundreds of millions of sentient beings."

He sighed.

Incense Deities need to herd hundreds of millions of sentient beings to survive and advance to higher realms; it does not matter if they are humans, demons, sea creatures, or any intelligent life, as they sustain themselves on the power of incense.

This is the foundation of an Incense Deity, and also the reason he has always been trying to find a powerful backer.

The best backer would naturally be the Master Shuoyang Sword Disciple, but he does not like Xi Ping'an; even if he did, and they became friends, the habits of the Eastern Extreme Demon Gate would not allow him to herd sentient beings with incense, leaving him excluded.

Ming Chong Guang Zi was after all the previous Master Shuoyang Sword Disciple; his talent and aptitude need no elaboration, and once he meets wind and clouds, he might not be unable to transform into a dragon and soar above the nine heavens.

"Senior Brother Ming Chong Guang Zi, shall we kill this native? I guarantee no one will escape."

Xi Ping'an looked at Dayang Canghai Tianjun and asked.

Sword cultivators can use strong opponents as whetstones to improve their own strength.

Dayang Canghai Tianjun's expression changed drastically.

"No need."

Ming Chong Guang Zi lost interest: "To be defeated by a strong hand, yet kill the weaker ones, is not the Way of the Sword; I feel ashamed."

"I actually have a sword technique comprehended from an Immortal Art, which should possess power comparable to the Quasi-Refining Void realm, but it requires consuming a large amount of vital blood, and at most it can only match Jiang Ding Zi's Starry Sky Fleet, so I hesitated..."

He sighed.

Whether it was regret or relief, he did not know.

That single strike had a one-in-ten-thousand chance of victory, killing the enemy, but also a higher probability of certain death; Xi Ping'an might not be able to save him.

"Two Daoist friends."

Dayang Canghai Tianjun breathed a huge sigh of relief: "I have many insights into Immortal Arts that I can share with you all..."

He took out two jade slips and handed them to the two men with utmost respect.

"Very well."

Xi Ping'an reluctantly accepted them.

The three discussed the mysteries of the Dao, and for a moment, the atmosphere returned to being harmonious and joyful.

"Daoist Friend Dayang, how much lifespan do you have left?"

Ming Chong Guang Zi suddenly asked.

"Over three hundred years, and this is already the result after extending my life multiple times."

Dayang Canghai Tianjun said frankly.

"I have even less, a lifespan of over a hundred years; if I consume longevity spirit pills, it would be about the same as yours, Daoist Friend."

Ming Chong Guang Zi said slowly: "If I cannot find a Minor Thousand World to endure the Soul Transformation heavenly tribulation, I will die in a few hundred years."

Advancing to Soul Transformation requires a Minor Thousand World, requires spiritual veins, and requires spiritual qi.

"Daoist Friend Dayang, do you have a way?"

Ming Chong Guang Zi and Xi Ping'an stared at Dayang Canghai Tianjun, their eyes holding some inexplicable meaning.

As far as they knew, this native genius born and raised in the Northern Plains could fuse fragments of Immortal Arts, which was not just due to his own talent, but also due to the interference of external power.

That Blood Dao rule power, a piece of brown, withered flesh and blood...

"... Yes."

Under the gaze of the two, Dayang Canghai Tianjun dared not refuse to answer and forced himself to say: "It was a Supreme Venerable. He once ordered me to welcome the great army from the Upper Realm, giving me many array artifacts and formations. He once even controlled my soul and spirit, but in the end, I narrowly escaped under the pollution of Immortal Arts."

"If we are utterly desperate, we might be able to invite the power of the Upper Realm."

"In this way, even if the situation is the worst, it is better than forcing our way through Jiang Ding Zi's World-Settling Great Array. I wonder if the two of you..."

"Exactly so."

Ming Chong Guang Zi nodded: "When Hei was still here, we had already plotted this matter. If someone from the Upper Realm comes, they might not be unable to repair the Ascension Platform; at that time, we might have a one-in-ten-thousand chance..."

In his gaze, there was fire.

The Upper Realm is infinitely vast; there might not be no opportunity to rebuild one's foundation, to kill Dao Disciple geniuses to sharpen one's sword, and once again restore the complete state of the Master Shuoyang Sword Disciple.

At that time, killing Dao enemies and pushing the Master Shuoyang Sword Dao toward the path of True Immortality, would that not be delightful?

"If everything goes smoothly, when will the cultivators from the Upper Realm arrive?"

Xi Ping'an asked.

"Around thirty years from now, if that Supreme Venerable did not deceive me..."

Slowly, twenty years of time passed.

In the Starry Sky of the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Immortal Gate, within the Master Shuoyang Dayang Dayang Tianchi and the Sun Abyss.

Jiang Ding opened his eyes.

This was the twentieth year since he began learning the Sword Dao from Hei; the harvest was great, his foundation in the Sword Dao was much more solid, and he had a clear understanding of the Fifth Realm of the Sword Dao, the Sword Realm.

Jiang Ding was one hundred percent certain that he would master the sword techniques of the Fifth Realm of the Sword Dao at the very moment of advancing to Soul Transformation.

"Ah-choo..."

Jiang Ding yawned, and a wave of drowsiness spread through his soul and spirit.

"Sword Disciple,"

"It is time for you to enter slumber."

The Moon Spirit of Dayang Dayang Tianchi reminded him: "A thousand-year slumber is an inevitable path for the growth of the Sword Realm. Unless you are certain that your battles will yield benefits several times greater, it is better to enter slumber as soon as possible."

"I understand."

Jiang Ding responded, but did not begin to slumber; instead, he took out thirty-one jade slips, bright and brilliant, from his storage jade pendant.

Among them were three Dao Merging scriptures, the strongest being the *Master Shuoyang Sword Scripture*, and twenty-seven Void Refinement scriptures.

There was also the strongest incomplete scripture above Dao Merging, the *Sun Moon Sword Scripture*.

These were the peak

immortal Dao technical achievements of the Master Shuoyang Sword Pavilion.

The remaining hundreds of millions of scripture jade slips were still being hastily manufactured by Black; they should be finished before Jiang Ding's slumber, greatly enriching the immortal sect library's foundation.

Black was naturally extremely unwilling, yet he could not defy a Master Shuoyang Sword Son who was determined to squander the family fortune.

Without the Master Shuoyang Sword Master to keep balance, the Master Shuoyang Sword Son was the master of the Master Shuoyang Sword Pavilion, wielding supreme and unconstrained power, and no one could stop him from doing anything.

"This is……"

Yue looked at the pile of jade slips before her, hesitated, and discovered something.

"Sword Son!"

"Sword Son!!!"

The Master Shuoyang Dayang Dayang Tianchi Moon Spirit let out a sharp, explosive screech: "Where did you get so many Sword Pavilion inheritances?"

"You, what are you trying to do?"

"Don't!"

"Sword Son, please……"

Yue pleaded.

"Yue, don't care where I got them."

Jiang Ding rolled his eyes, curled his lip, and said: "Relax, the Master Shuoyang Sword Dao will rise to glory starting from here. Don't cling to sectarian prejudice. Past glory is only past glory; from now on, the glory of the Master Shuoyang Sword Dao rests in our hands."

"Easier said than done!"

"This is the sect's inheritance of hundreds of thousands of years!"

Yue shouted.

"Yue,"

"Inheritance is meant to be shown to people."

Jiang Ding no longer paid attention to Yue's shrieks. He released privacy restrictions, letting the divine sense of the Central Array Spirit Computer pour into the Master Shuoyang Dayang Dayang Tianchi, landing upon the immortal Dao wisdom treasures accumulated by the Master Shuoyang Sword Pavilion over hundreds of thousands of years.

"New knowledge detected!"

"New knowledge detected!"

"Detecting……"

The Central Array Spirit Computer emitted an alarm-like sound, with a bone-deep thirst for new knowledge; calculations were completed in an instant.

"Knowledge owner: Citizen Jiang Ding."

"Collecting, uploading, library points calculating……"

A streak of azure light enveloped the pile of jade slips before Jiang Ding, and without ceremony began uploading, not caring in the slightest about the inheritance owner's thoughts.

Such crude behavior would absolutely infuriate any extraterritorial cultivator, turning him into a mortal enemy to be pursued unto death.

However, for an immortal sect citizen, this was natural heavenly principle.

"Haha!"

"The immortal sect's foundation has grown stronger again! No, by tenfold! These are inheritances at Dao Merging and above Dao Merging!"

Jiang Ding was greatly delighted seeing the Array Spirit's actions: "Seniors, grow up quickly, become thick thighs one by one, and drag me forward.

Let me have everything I want, with everything I use and learn being top-tier in the realm, crushing opponents crudely with flying swords worth several, even dozens of

Minor Thousand Worlds."

"The Great Dao has taken another great step forward!"

The Central Array Spirit Computer rapidly uploaded new knowledge—Void Refinement, Dao Merging, and above Dao Merging.

Every moment, every second, the immortal sect's immortal Dao foundation was surging, rapidly rising!

At this instant, research projects that had been painstakingly developed by hundreds of thousands of cultivators over more than a dozen generations suddenly had results.

Suddenly obtained the wisdom achievements of another powerful immortal Dao civilization.

This was no accident; with the Central Array Spirit Computer's uploads, every second, every minute, an immortal sect problem was solved!

This was the wisdom of ancient cultivators; they too had encountered such problems.

Ancient and modern wisdom converged at this moment.

The immortal sect's foundation was surging every moment!

This frenzied surge of immortal Dao foundation instantly alarmed all the Soul Transformation cultivators at the top of the entire immortal sect.
