Chapter 1124: Jiang Ding Awakens

Within the pitch-black starry sky of the Flame Stone Star Domain, eight towering, indistinct figures sat cross-legged, emitting waves of terrifying pressure that did not affect anything in the present world, transcending the outside world and isolated from cause and effect.

"Now!"

"The Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men is about to produce a Void Refinement cultivator!"

A great power of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace whispered, his voice shaking the star river, causing numerous asteroid belts around him to shatter and disintegrate, with much power dissipating.

This was something that had never happened since arriving in Jiao Jiao Mingyu; they had always been hiding and lying in ambush.

Now, however, he could barely control himself, which was enough to show his mind was far from calm.

A killing intent so cold it pierced the bones radiated in all directions; even lifeless objects like asteroids, which possessed no vitality, trembled and froze.

The Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace and the Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men have a blood feud spanning nine generations!

The conflict between the two sides had reached a point where it was almost irreconcilable; countless geniuses and outstanding figures from both sides had died at the hands of the other.

The death of the first ruling Yuan of the Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men, the sixth ruling Wu, and all the rulers in between, all had a direct or indirect relationship with the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace.

What kind of people are the ruling figures of the Immortal Sects?

These are geniuses and outstanding figures who could be considered outstanding even within the endless universe and star river!

What kind of person was the sixth ruling Wu who died in battle?

He was the teacher of Yuan, Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun, Senior Wanji Canghai Tianjun, and others; he raised them from childhood and was a father figure to them.

Without exaggeration, if the rulers of past generations had grown to the present day, advancing to Void Refinement would have been a trivial matter; countless great Immortal Dao wisdoms would have been born from their hands, and it was possible for all Immortal Dao technologies of the Immortal Sects to rise by a major step.

This is the factor of hatred.

Besides hatred, there is also a struggle over the Dao between the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace and the Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men, an irreconcilable struggle over the Dao.

The Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace follows the path of combining the Incense-Burning God Path with the Immortal Dao.

And the Incense-Burning God Path is strictly forbidden by the Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men, which considers it a policy to keep the people ignorant, suppressing the birth of Immortal Dao wisdom between realms and affecting their own path.

Dao enemies!

Blood feud!

The combination of the two is almost the most terrible hatred in the endless universe and star river.

The conflict between the two sides cannot be reconciled or mediated; there can be brief peace under external pressure, but the final result must be the complete extinction of one side to end it!

Now, the Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men is about to produce a Void Refinement cultivator!

This result was something the great power of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace could not accept.

His killing intent surged and boiled in his heart, almost uncontrollable; he wanted to mobilize all the Dao soldiers of his sect and, taking advantage of the Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men's unpreparedness, kill all the Soul Transformation cultivators of the Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men who might advance to Void Refinement.

Even if doing so would greatly reduce the strength of the Nine Spirit Domain and completely lose the initiative in war, it was worth it.

"Everyone, could we..."

"... destroy the Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men first?"

"After they produce a Void Refinement cultivator, their strength will quickly grow to an uncontrollable degree!"

The great power of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace looked at the others, his eyes filled with blood: "There may not necessarily be a Jiao Minghuang at the Dao Integration stage in Jiao Jiao Mingyu; we of the Ba Sect can destroy Jiao Jiao Mingyu on our own!"

"This old man is willing to be the vanguard!"

The killing intent in his heart was about to break free from control.

His primal instinct and his Art of Heavenly Calculation were both warning him, telling him that a huge danger was swelling.

If left unchecked, it would soon explode, killing himself and his entire sect.

There was no answer.

The several great powers around remained silent.

Was it only the great power of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace who sensed the danger? Their Art of Heavenly Calculation was not too weak; how could they possibly fail to see such a simple matter?

However...

After an unknown amount of time, the star river remained in silence.

"Brother Xuanwu, for now, give up temporarily."

"Destroying the Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men is achievable, but it requires us to fight to the death without retreating, fearing neither death nor battle, and not backing down."

The great power of the Tianji Xiangong sighed deeply: "And now, the possibility of advancing to Dao Integration is right before our eyes, the hope of extending our lifespan by one hundred thousand years is right before our eyes; we do not have the spirit to fight to the death for other things, for any thing."

"For any thing."

"Do you understand?"

"We all come from the lineage of Immortal Sects, we are Dao Sons of the Immortal Sects; as long as we occupy the Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie, every one of us has more than an eighty percent potential to advance to Dao Integration, with a bright and brilliant hope right before our eyes."

"How can we be distracted, fighting to the death for our sect, for hatred?"

"Yes..."

The great powers of the Qingmuxian Sect, the Shadow Demon Abyss, and others around felt deeply the same.

Fighting to the death for things outside the Dao is absolutely impossible.

"The Dao!"

The great power of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace also showed a look of struggle.

The Dao Integration Realm!

One hundred thousand years of lifespan!

Did he not have a longing in his heart?

He himself was hesitating and wavering; would the others be even more firm?

The great power of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace sighed deeply and said no more.

"Everything must prioritize advancing to Dao Integration."

"Wait."

The great power of the Tianji Xiangong whispered: "The internal order of the Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men has now developed problems; their system cannot perfectly bear Void Refinement; perhaps an internal war will break out... If the timing is ripe, it is not impossible to strike, to completely tame this beast and use it for our own purposes."

……

Immortal Gate · Thirty-Third Heavenly Pivot Orbit.

Mie Ri Canghai Tianjun, Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, Pingyang Canghai Tianjun

and others, after a gap of three hundred years, had once again arrived outside the crystalline barrier of the Dayang Dayang Tianchi, waiting in silence.

Compared to three hundred years ago, there were some differences.

All these Immortal Gate Canghai Tianjun had swapped their Primordial Spirit treasures for the formal dress uniform of a general of the Immortal Gate Starry Sky Corps.

The Immortal Gate general's dress uniform treasure could assist starry sky fleet commanders in controlling starry sky fortresses, bear military formation runes, reduce the difficulty of operating military formations, and also provide powerful protection; its grade ranged between fifth-tier upper grade and fifth-tier supreme grade, and it was one of the finest works of the Immortal Gate's treasure-refining industry.

Among these Immortal Gate starry sky fleet officers, the one with the highest military rank was Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, holding the rank of Vice Marshal of the Immortal Gate.

Among these Canghai Tianjun, a faint or palpable aura of military formation baleful qi was blooming, freezing the four directions; even Soul Transformation cultivators here would feel suffocated.

If Void Refinement cultivators appeared here, their scalps would go numb, and a clear sense of life-and-death crisis would arise in their hearts.

Because these were the elite starry sky fleet commanders of a hegemon-level domain power!

"By decree!"

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun's face took on a solemn expression.

He cast a series of hand seals toward the Dayang Dayang Tianchi spinning ceaselessly before him, the seals constantly shifting.

These hand seals continued for several days on end; the various verifications and inspections within were intricate to the extreme — a single slip would invite terrible consequences.

It was no exaggeration to say that although this place looked ordinary, it was in fact the most heavily defended location of the Immortal Gate, possessing the highest security tier.

The final hand seal was cast, completing the last verification.

"Ding!"

"Verification passed."

"Executing awakening procedure…"

The voice of the central array spirit computer emerged.

The Dayang Dayang Tianchi Moon Spirit watched these newly arrived Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men cultivators in a very displeased manner, but made no move to obstruct them; after merely verifying their hand seals and identities, it did nothing further.

"Under non-emergency circumstances, it will probably take about a month to recover without damage."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun said in a low voice, introducing the matter to the surrounding Canghai Tianjun.

Mie Ri Canghai Tianjun, Pingyang Canghai Tianjun, and the others nodded slightly, continuing to wait; each of them was in a combat-ready state, observing battlefield discipline.
