Chapter 1309: The Two Great Sword Dao Immortal Sects of the Fallen Immortal Realm Stand Side by Side

Jiang Ding left the mire.

He would continue to oversee the True Scripture Auction House, because many sword-offering materials were not one-off purchases but required years of accumulated buying, and a reliable person was needed to hold down the fort here.

Besides, an external intelligence channel was also needed — at least to know some major events happening in the Fallen Immortal Realm, so as not to be completely in the dark.

"True Sovereign of the Mire…"

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

This was an opponent with extremely strong mobility, full of vigilance and strength; if he could not lure him into a specific battlefield, the chance of slaying him was not high — at least for the current him, that was the case.

Jiang Ding picked up a jade slip, sent from his mire avatar, containing some major events that had occurred in the Fallen Immortal Realm over the past ten thousand years.

Of course, by the time such news reached this remote place of Thunder Marsh Province, its timeliness was inevitably lost; it could only be considered a way to broaden one's horizons and could not be used for any strategic judgment.

"The Immortal Artifact Sect and the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm have concluded a deeper-tier Heavenly Dao alliance, proclaimed to the world…"

"The war between the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm and the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm has reignited; many seniors of the Cultivation World believe that, given the extremity of the sword cultivator's path, such a war will inevitably continue endlessly until one side is annihilated."

"Within a single great thousand world, it is absolutely impossible for two top-tier sword Dao sects to exist at the same time!"

"They must use each other as whetstones, slaughter, slaughter, slaughter… until one side achieves total victory — this needs no doubt; the only worry is whether, after one of the two sword-cultivating immortal sects falls, the remaining one will grow strong enough to be terrifying."

"If the two sides do not perish together, how will the other sects conduct themselves…"

"The border of the Demon Alliance is in turmoil; rumors say the Dragon Lord of the Heavenly Blood Dragon Court has had a breakthrough in cultivation, and may no longer be satisfied with the border treaty signed hundreds of thousands of years ago, intending to unite numerous demon races to launch a new war against the human race."

"Some cultivators consider this rumor not very credible."

"Because in this era, the human race has two simultaneously existing sword Dao immortal sects — one must remember that the sword cultivator profession was born on the battlefield against foreign races; if the demon race invades, it is very likely to end the endless slaughter between the two great sword Dao immortal sects…"

Jiang Ding read through the major events of the Fallen Immortal Realm on the jade slip one by one.

Currently, the Fallen Immortal Realm, having weathered the great calamity, possessed seven great immortal sects, divided into two major categories — new immortal sects and ancient immortal sects — and they had formed alliances with each other.

The new immortal sects were naturally sects like the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm; the Immortal Artifact Sect also counted.

The Immortal Artifact Sect, anciently called the Spiritual Treasure Realm, was the upper-realm sect of the Upper Clarity Spiritual Treasure Sect; after the great calamity, a coup occurred within it, a large number of sect cultivators died, and it was ultimately renamed the Immortal Artifact Sect.

This coup, according to rumors, seemed to be related to a self-awareness produced by a terrifying sect-protecting treasure, and it drew in the external force of the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm to participate.

The ancient immortal sects were the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm, the Dan

Tian Immortal Sect, and the Heavenly Beast Garden — three great immortal sects.

The new immortal sects were wildly ambitious; the ancient immortal sects wished to restore the territories of their prime, and were furious that after weathering the great calamity their strength had greatly declined and many former subordinates had rebelled, swearing to sweep away the rebellion and suppress the traitors.

This was the source of turmoil for the human race in the Fallen Immortal Realm.

"The Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm has once again been confirmed to still exist."

Jiang Ding murmured.

This was not good news for him.

Because of their cultivation method, the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm cared greatly about the other half — about the existence of Grand Yin.

The first-generation Grand Sun Sword Lord had massacred the Moon Lineage; to the Yin lineage of the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm, this was an unbearable reverse scale, and once they caught any remnant of the Grand Sun Sword Pavilion lineage, they would kill them on the spot.

This was the existential foundation of the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm — political correctness!

Jiang Ding was not a remnant of the Grand Sun Sword Pavilion, but that did not prevent the Yin lineage's powerhouses from considering him one.

The only good news was that the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm faced enormous war pressure; the Sun lineage's powerhouses might be more willing to see sword Dao powerhouses appear, and the Grand Yin lineage's powerhouses might be tied down by the war and unable to spare a hand.

"I have to hide myself well."

Jiang Ding's scalp tightened.

Zou Zou Xiyuan had once said that the Moon lineage women were all crazy bitches, extremely emotional, often committing irrational and chaotic acts.

He suspected that, upon hearing of the first Grand Sun Sword Lord's deeds, some Moon lineage powerhouses might no longer care about the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm battlefield and would simply charge straight at the target.

"On my end there's no big problem… damn it!"

"The key is Chong Chong Guang Zi!"

Jiang Ding suddenly thought of something and cursed: "That rookie's concealment art is half-assed — damn it, don't let him get caught by the crazy bitches of the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm and then rat me out."

It had now been over four thousand years since Chong Chong Guang Zi ascended to the upper realm.

Jiang Ding hurriedly took out a second jade slip.

This was intelligence on Thunder Marsh Region and several surrounding regions, more detailed; the price was dozens of times that of the Fallen Immortal Realm's overall intelligence, costing one Void Refinement-grade heavenly material and earthly treasure to obtain — that True Sovereign of the Mire was truly black-hearted.

"Over four thousand years ago, the ancestor of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect suddenly died; the contemporary ancestor, True Sovereign Ten Thousand Thunder, succeeded; True Sovereign Ten Thousand Thunder was at mid Void Refinement, and there were many internal dissenters… what is suspicious is that the Blood Lake Bone Mountain did not launch an attack at this time; based on later events, the Blood Lake Ancestor was likewise heavily wounded at the time, possibly caused by the dying counterattack of the deceased True Sovereign Green Thunder…"

"Lower-realm ascenders heavily wounding several people including True Sovereign Ten Thousand Thunder — this is truly shocking and incomprehensible…"

"The minor sect 'Heavenly Yang Sect' of Golden Sea Region suddenly rose to prominence, ambushed and surrounded-killed a Supreme Elder of the Golden Sea True Sect, then annihilated the Golden Sea True Sect — one of the original hegemon sects — and launched an attack against the remaining hegemon sect, the Jin Chong Guang True Sect

?? The Jin Chong Guang True Sect could not prevail, barely held out by defending its sect, and requested aid from the Immortal Artifact Sect…"

"The Heavenly Yang Sect is also requesting the Immortal Artifact Sect to bestow upon it the title of True Sect…"

"It is heard that several thousand years ago the Heavenly Yang Sect was merely a Soul Transformation minor sect; the reason for its sudden rise and the great increase in the sect's strength was entirely because the previous Supreme Elder chanced upon the ruins of an ancient Void Refinement sect, and took in three exceptionally talented disciples…"

"Three?"

"Why exactly three, no more no less?"

Jiang Ding suddenly had an ominous premonition; his divine sense skipped ahead as he read, looking downward.

"The chief disciple, True Sovereign Shuo Yang, wielded metal-element spells to a divine degree, was bold and magnanimous by nature, liked making friends in all directions, with only one flaw — lecherous…"

"The second disciple was a true sovereign of the Incense-Fire Divine…"

"The third disciple was a sword Dao true sovereign, named True Sovereign Bright Light; True Sovereign Bright Light had his foundation damaged in his early years, and although his strength was the weakest among the three — somewhat weaker than an ordinary early Void Refinement cultivator — he always charged at the forefront in every battle, with illustrious war merits…"

"It really is those three bastards."

Jiang Ding's face darkened.

The only small comfort was that Chong Chong Guang Zi, that stupid pig, had finally learned a bit of disguise; battles between Void Refinement cultivators occurred from time to time on this land and were nothing unusual, and would not attract attention like a Soul Transformation cultivator slaying across realms to defeat a Void Refinement one.

Chong Chong Guang Zi's improvement in strength was also still within expectations.

He possessed the most orthodox Grand Sun Sword Pavilion inheritance; over four thousand years, and in a place like the upper realm where whetstones were everywhere, as long as he didn't die, a surge in strength was inevitable.

"Still, it's too flashy!"

"Sooner or later, someone will notice and draw the attention of the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm."

A sense of urgency welled up in Jiang Ding: "I need to hurry and find a way to get to the Golden Sea Domain, and kill those three… two, Xiping'an doesn't count, kill those two people."

"Damn it, don't tell me the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm's attention has already landed on the Golden Sea Domain?"

He hesitated again.
