Chapter 1178: The Ten Tianjuns of Master Tushan Zhongting

Above the Six Paths Throne, silence reigned.

Jiang Ding did not know what to say.

If it were old acquaintances from the past, Nascent Soul Zhenjuns he had known and grown up alongside, he could chat about how these years had gone, what he had encountered, whether anything major had happened.

But now?

What could he say?

It seemed anything could be said, yet nothing could be said.

In the end, he could only sigh softly.

"Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting — in the end, no Soul Transformation was born?"

Jiang Ding's heart regained its calm as he said lightly.

The most effective way to avoid melancholy, to avoid partings, seemed to be never forming bonds with anyone; that way, having never gained anything, one naturally would not lose anything.

His divine sense enveloped the entire Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting, and he did not detect a single Soul Transformation cultivator.

Nowadays, the words "old acquaintance" and "Soul Transformation cultivator" overlapped heavily; old acquaintances without Soul Transformation realm had died countless years ago, their lifespans reaching the limit, unable to survive.

"Master,"

"The Tianjuns of Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting have all gone to the East Sea Blood Demon Abyss to hold the line and fight; they are not in the Master Tushan Zhongting."

Among the twelve maidservants, the one with the strongest aura was a six-tailed fox clan cultivator, the head maid of this group; she immediately spoke: "This includes Gong Gong Caiyu Canghai Tianjun, Bingxue Canghai Tianjun, and other seniors, who have never been able to return."

Gong Gong Caiyu Canghai Tianjun?

Bingxue Canghai Tianjun? Wasn't it Bingxue?

Jiang Ding's heart stirred slightly, but his attention was caught by another term: "What is the East Sea Blood Demon Abyss?"

"Master,"

"The East Sea Blood Demon Abyss appeared over two hundred years ago. It is a vast blood abyss sea, and blood demons emerge from it at every moment, killing beyond count. Over two hundred years ago, nearly all the Master Tushan cultivators of the entire East Sea were slaughtered to the last. The Bingxue Canghai Tianjun stationed in the East Sea at the time was gravely wounded and fled."

The six-tailed fox clan maidservant recalled the events of the past, her face paling slightly: "Afterward, the Master Tushan Zhongting Tianjuns and the great army marched out in full force, heading to the East Sea. It took over a hundred years and countless battles before they could seal it, so that blood demons no longer emerged from it constantly."

"However, even so, blood demons still break the seal and emerge from time to time, and the Master Tushan Zhongting Tianjuns have no choice but to remain stationed there at all times."

The many maidservants who had experienced the war gazed longingly at the youth on the throne.

"The blood demons in the abyss sea…"

Jiang Ding pondered.

It seemed to be spatial teleportation, or perhaps something else, something not covered in his store of knowledge.

"Continue. Tell me about the current Soul Transformation cultivators of Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting."

Jiang Ding did not dwell on it, setting the question aside for now and asking instead.

He realized that his heart now was very cold, very calm, unmoved by the deaths of the East Sea human race over two hundred years ago,

even though at least hundreds of millions of humans had perished among them.

This feeling made him somewhat uncomfortable.

"Yes, Master."

The six-tailed fox clan maidservant said respectfully: "In Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting, there are now seven human Tianjuns — Bingxue Canghai Tianjun, Gong Gong Caiyu Canghai Tianjun, Hei Louxi Canghai Tianjun, Li Qingyun Canghai Tianjun, Da'ai Canghai Tianjun, Lieyang Canghai Tianjun, and Liu Dao Canghai Tianjun — as well as three demon clan Tianjuns: Baidu Canghai Tianjun, Baifeng Canghai Tianjun, and Yueye Canghai Tianjun."

"Ten Tianjuns in total."

She said with great pride.

In all recorded history of the world, never had so many Tianjuns been born, and never had they all belonged to the same faction.

The birth of these Tianjuns further solidified the rule of Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting; compared to over a thousand years ago, the Master Tushan Zhongting was flourishing more than ever.

"They all seem to be familiar faces…"

Jiang Ding thought briefly: "Bingxue Canghai Tianjun? Is this Mu Mu Tianxue? I recall she used to be called Bingxue Master Dinghai Zhenjun. Why the change?"

A cultivator's divine sense transmitted information with great precision; homophone errors were impossible.

"This…"

The six-tailed fox clan maidservant was at a loss.

Clearly, the changes in a Canghai Tianjun's Dao title were a matter far too remote for her; she did not know the ins and outs.

Though it seemed a trivial matter with no need for secrecy, after over a thousand years it had become top secret; aside from acquaintances of those days, few could know what had happened.

In her memory, Bingxue Canghai Tianjun had always been Bingxue Canghai Tianjun; there had never been any Bingxue Master Dinghai Zhenjun.

"Never mind that."

Jiang Ding did not make things difficult for her, and asked: "Then Baidu Canghai Tianjun and Baifeng Canghai Tianjun must be the two eggs I picked up back then. Hmm, their talents are quite good — in just over a thousand years, they've already advanced to Soul Transformation. Their luck and bloodlines are passable."

Over a thousand years ago, Jiang Ding slew the Master Dinghai Zhenjun Bingfeng Canghai Tianjun and Master Dinghai Zhenjun Master Dinghai Zhenjun Bingyuan of the Ice Phoenix clan, and Friend Friend Baizu of the Southern Frontier, obtaining an ice phoenix egg and a centipede egg from these two races.

At the time, he disdained taking out his anger on eggs that had not yet developed even a shred of spiritual intelligence, so he brought them back to Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting and handed them to Zheng Sect to be raised normally, paying them no attention and imposing no restrictions.

Over a thousand years later, the two eggs had become Soul Transformation Tianjuns.

Just over a thousand years…

The six-tailed fox clan maidservant and the others swallowed hard.

In that moment, they realized the vast difference in the scale of time between a Canghai Tianjun and themselves; the turning of a thousand years seemed a very brief span.

"Gong Gong Caiyu Canghai Tianjun."

"Gong Gong Caiyu."

"That's good. The political-affairs maidservant corps has finally produced a Soul Transformation cultivator."

"Otherwise the political system of Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting couldn't operate effectively — those fellows are every one of them outlaws,

constantly testing the edges of Master Tushan law to grab the maximum benefit. Don't talk about actively upholding Master Tushan law; the loopholes in Master Tushan law are their handiwork…"

Jiang Ding complained.

Looking back many years, the first person he met when he first came into the world was this rather dim-witted girl. He had assumed she would soon die in the jianghu, in the treacherous Cultivation World.

Who would have thought that now I am also a Soul Transformation cultivator.

"Who is this Canghai Tianjun of Moon Night? A new heavenly genius born within the last thousand years?"

Jiang Ding asked.

The others could roughly guess; they were all acquaintances, their past talents and brilliance were plain to see, and in their youth they were figures who made a name for themselves across the land.

It was just this Canghai Tianjun of Moon Night that was somewhat confusing.

"No, my Lord."

"Canghai Tianjun of Moon Night is your handmaiden; have you forgotten?"

The Six-Tailed Fox Clan handmaiden asked in confusion: "Your handmaiden from the time of Master Tushan Xiancheng; the true form of Canghai Tianjun of Moon Night is a very cute rabbit..."

"A rabbit!"

"That mutated Moonlight Rabbit!"

Jiang Ding suddenly realized and immediately remembered.

When rebuilding Master Tushan Xiancheng, he had acquired three Yao Zu handmaidens, all possessing Yao Zu Di Pin bloodlines equivalent to Heavenly Spirit Roots; they were symbols of Master Tushan Xiancheng beginning to accept Yao Zu heroes, and later these three handmaidens all advanced to the Nascent Soul realm.

However, this rabbit seemed very ordinary and had no great achievements.

Her greatest hobbies seemed to be sleeping and basking in the sun and the moon; she just got by without any effort.

Over a thousand years later, her peers among the human and Yao Zu cultivators were all dead, yet she alone lived on well; this cannot help but be called a strange fate, for nothing is eternal and unchanging.
