Chapter 1375: The Great Sun Heavenly Sovereign Returns to the Immortal Sect

Apart from a trace of warmth toward the Great Sun Sword Son and the Great Sun Ancestor, the Yang Bone Heavenly Person was cold and brutal toward everyone in a way that defied description, making one's heart instinctively shiver.

As if what stood before one was a terrifying fierce beast born within the blazing sun, ready at any moment to choose someone to devour.

"Reporting, Senior,"

Ming Chong Guang Zi felt a chill in his heart and said respectfully, "This junior is Ming Chong Guang… Ming Chong Guang, the previous generation's Great Sun Sword Son, defeated by Jiang, by the Great Sun Sword Son."

In the instant he spoke the Great Sun Sword Son's name directly, he keenly sensed a sliver of killing intent.

"The previous generation's Great Sun Sword Son?"

"Then why are you still alive?"

The Yang Bone Heavenly Person was puzzled, thoroughly confused: "I looked at the Sword Son — if he hadn't been jointly surrounded and killed by Dao Merging cultivators, he would have even beaten the inheritance disciples of the Immortal Artifact Sect and those two inheritance disciples of True Fire and Mysterious Water to death. How could you possibly still be alive?"

"Moreover, even setting that aside, your strength is so weak… the gap is far too great!"

"Do you yourself feel that you can duel him with the sword?"

He frowned.

Sword cultivators are bloodthirsty, yet also not bloodthirsty.

The bloodthirstiness is directed at the strong.

The non-bloodthirstiness refers to the weak — sword cultivators are unwilling to slaughter too many, because their own swords are unwilling, feeling it a disgrace.

Yet the young man before him was far, far weaker than the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong inheritance disciple, utterly unable to arouse any killing intent in the inheritance sword cultivator's heart, not reaching the minimum threshold.

"Because I used an unfair method of escape."

Ming Chong Guang Zi said calmly.

"My sword heart therefore developed many cracks. Fortunately I had not yet condensed a sword soul, so there is still room for remedy — I only need more strong ones."

"Now this junior needs nothing, only more strong ones."

He bowed deeply to the existence before him who stood above Dao Merging, entreating.

The matter of the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect, Jiang Ding Zi's origins — Ming Chong Guang Zi did not speak of them.

Because it was utterly meaningless.

The Great Sun Sword Son must be the master of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion; even if the ancestors of every generation of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion were to revive, they would all acknowledge this objective fact, regardless of where he came from.

Ming Chong Guang Zi had received the most orthodox Great Sun Sword Pavilion education, and although he would not admit it aloud, in his heart he actually recognized this logic.

"An unfair sword duel…"

"Well, it's passable, I suppose. A bad life is still better than a good death."

The Yang Bone Heavenly Person instantly lost some interest and said, "You may feel that the gap between you and the Sword Son is a matter of how many enemies, but the truth is not so."

"The Sword Son possesses an extremely powerful spiritual insight in sword arts, an extremely powerful creative ability, the capacity to bring forth the new from the old — this is not something that can be solved by the number of enemies."

"Furthermore, the Sword Son is extremely cunning; his concealment ability is strong among those of the same rank, making it easier for him to survive. This too is a gap."

"This kind of gap cannot be made up by the number of enemies. You must find a way to solve this problem yourself, or you will never be able to become the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Sword Son."

"The Great Sun Sword Dao likewise cannot make up for this aspect of the gap."

"I have said all I will say."

The Yang Bone Heavenly Person said lightly, "After returning to the sect, I will find you a Dao Merging level protector from the Pure Yang branch, and then find you the enemies you want. This is easy — the Upper Realm lacks everything except damn bastards."

"If you are fortunate enough to survive, you will come to know what, beyond strong enemies, a sword cultivator should possess."

"In a single sword duel, some sword cultivators survive and advance by leaps and bounds, some sword cultivators die, some sword cultivators survive and gain nothing — what is the reason within this?"

"In a single sword duel, some sword cultivators survive and advance by leaps and bounds, some sword cultivators die, and some sword cultivators survive and gain nothing at all. What is the reason behind this?"

"Beyond strong enemies, what else is there…"

Ming Chong Guang Zi was completely stunned.

The Yang Bone Heavenly Person paid him no further heed; with a sweep of his sleeve, he took Ming Chong Guang Zi and Shuo Yang True Venerable — the two who bore the Great Sun Sword Son's aura — and stored them away.

This was an order from the Solar branch.

He did not dare disobey.

At least, at this moment he did not dare disobey in the slightest.

The Solar branch — for all that they appear every one of them models of gentlemanly refinement — the moment someone touches the foundation of their rule, one immediately understands why this Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm has been able to endure for tens of millions of years without perishing.

The Solar Yang lineage may look like a bunch of modest gentlemen, but the moment anyone touches the foundations of their rule, one will immediately understand why this Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong of the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm has been able to endure for tens of millions of years without perishing.

"Sword Son, where have you run off to…"

The Yang Bone Heavenly Person muttered to himself.

He planned to search for a few hundred years first, to see if he could find the Great Sun Sword Son; if the Solar branch pressed urgently, then he would first send these three people back, and return to continue the search.

In any case, his Pure Yang path had reached its limit, his cultivation could not advance further, and he had time in abundance.

In any case, his Pure Yang path had already reached its limit, his cultivation could advance no further, and he had all the time in the world.

Immortal Sect.

A mass of mangled flesh wrapped around a blue-gold flying sword returned to the Dayang Dayang Tianchi.

In that instant, the entire Immortal Sect seemed to fall silent — the air, the sunlight, the dust, the clouds, every single leaf of the Shenmu Shenmu Futianrong froze, no longer stirring in the slightest.

In that instant, the entire immortal sect seemed to fall silent—the air, the sunlight, the dust, the clouds, every single leaf of the divine tree Shenmu Shenmu Futianrong all froze, no longer stirring in the slightest.

Woooo woooo…

Immediately, the central array-spirit computer of the Immortal Sect instantly activated combat-readiness status, started all defensive formations, and mobilized all cultivators above Jin Dan.

Moreover, the seventh-tier branch in the Nine Spirit Realm of the Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie immediately directed the bulk of its computing power here, forcibly activating a Dao Merging level formation and Dao Merging level computing power at the cost of damaging the mother star's quasi-seventh-tier formation.

All main battle star-army corps of the Immortal Sect entered first-level combat readiness, ready at any moment to strike against incoming enemies.

All the main-battle Star Realm legions of the immortal sect entered first-degree combat readiness, ready to strike at any incoming enemy at any moment.

"Alert! Alert!"

"Alert! Alert!"

"Immortal Gate participant in governance, Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, the ninety-seventh Deputy Ruler Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, was attacked by an external force and is critically wounded, on the verge of death."

"All units be advised, the Immortal Gate has come under attack, the Immortal Gate has now entered a state of war…"

"All units be advised, the Immortal Gate has come under attack, the Immortal Gate has now entered a state of war…"

"All departments be advised…"

In Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie's Nine Spirits Realm, the many Minor Thousand Worlds of the Nine Spirits Domain, the Mother Star, and the many Minor Thousand Worlds of Jiao Jiao Mingyu, in that single instant, the Immortal Gate's fleet of staggering scale immediately entered wartime status amid the wail of shrill alarms, even taking the terrifying step of further conscripting citizen reservists back to active duty.

The Badaxian Sect were jolted awake in an instant by this abnormal and frantic move, a sense of foreboding rising unceasingly in their hearts.

Each of them completed their intelligence briefings, and upon discovering that none of the others had attacked the Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men, they could not help but be filled with suspicion and dread, hearts pounding, suspecting that the many powers of the Ancient God Domain had already launched a surprise attack on the Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men.

Otherwise the Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men could not possibly have reacted so violently!

The instant Jiang Ding appeared at Dayang Dayang Tianchi, he had already been forcibly transferred by the central array spirit computer into the Immortal Gate's best healing chamber.

Amid the wail of shrill alarms sounding the Immortal Gate's full mobilization, he barely regained a sliver of reason.

"There is no external enemy…"

"It's merely cultivation qi deviation, nothing serious…"

Jiang Ding said weakly.

That terrifying quasi-eighth-tier sword talisman, with only a sliver of its residual power, had nearly destroyed him completely; only the Materialist Solar Sword Soul had allowed him to keep his life.

In the Upper Realm, there are rumored to be immortals.

He did not wish to leave behind too many traces, nor to entangle himself in too much karmic cause and effect.

This way, even if in the future he offended a true immortal, only he alone would die; it would not endanger the Mother Star, nor bring about the total annihilation of the Mother Star's civilization. Even reducing such a sliver of possibility would be for the best.

As one of the Immortal Gate's nine participants in governance, and moreover the party involved, Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun's words carried extremely strong reference value.

Therefore, the Immortal Gate's full mobilization was temporarily halted, but an extremely high alert level was still maintained; field armies at every level remained on wartime footing, second only to full mobilization, with no relaxation whatsoever.

Clearly, even Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun could not completely dictate the Immortal Gate's policies.
