Chapter 1439: The First Pivot of Becoming an Immortal: Perfect Sword Dao Metal

Time flowed quietly.

Unknowingly, decades passed, and the Immortal Gate expedition fleet was still on the march.

Jiang Ding waved his hand lightly, and twenty-seven items of Ben Ming Fa appeared before him: Ben Ming treasures, Ben Ming feathers, Ben Ming spider silk, and so on, all extremely precious things.

Among them were the Dao Zi of the Nine Great Immortal Sects of the Ancient God Domain.

No, the Taiyou Sword Zi and her Sun Sword Cultivator escaped; the treasures of the Eight Great Dao Zi of the Ancient God Domain were forged from seventh-order He Dao level sect inheritance divine metals, extremely precious, counting as treasures even among He Dao level treasures.

"Inheritance divine metal..."

Jiang Ding picked up the Tian Shen Spear of the Tian Shen Dao Zi, stroked it lightly, and scanned the material within with sword intent.

"The inheritance divine metals of the Upper Realm Immortal Sects are a special technique, not natural; they can be mass-produced and improved. Although the cost is very high, it can indeed be done; it is a great achievement of Immortal Dao technology."

"The Taiqing Divine Iron of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion is the same."

Jiang Ding recalled the inheritance of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion.

Now, he could produce Taiqing Divine Iron at a huge cost; it would probably take seven or eight thousand years to produce one piece of sixth-order Taiqing Divine Iron.

For him, the cost-performance ratio was not high.

If it were not for the sake of passing the torch to the next generation of Sword Zi, such a thing would be impossible.

Besides, the Immortal Gate had no intention of cultivating the next Great Sun Sword Zi either; not a single thought of it.

Such existences are too easy to lose control.

However, if this generation's Great Sun Sword Zi died in battle and the Immortal Gate suffered a loss in single combat power, there might be thoughts in this direction.

Survival is always the first priority.

Although the Immortal Gate probably could not cultivate an existence as unconventional as this generation's Great Sun Sword Zi, the sword Dao atmosphere differed from the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, and many special conditions did not exist.

"The Ben Ming treasures of the Demon God Sect's Dao Zi are also seventh-order materials, but they are very ordinary among seventh-order ones."

"And the Ben Ming feathers of the bloodlines of the Holy Sons of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance can also be seen as seventh-order treasure embryos; their use is not small."

Jiang Ding murmured to himself.

These were the greatest spoils of the battle at Cang Tian Pavilion: twenty-seven seventh-order treasure embryos and similar things.

The remaining Dao Zi storage bags naturally contained many treasures, but compared to the He Dao level treasure embryos, the value gap was enormous, even less than one-twentieth; after all, when they entered Cang Tian Pavilion, they were only in the Hua Shen Qi, and their ability to gather wealth was very limited.

"After refining these materials,"

"it should allow the Taiqing Flying Sword embryo to advance further toward the eighth order."

Jiang Ding showed a look of longing.

The "Nine Heavens Ascension Sword Casting Art" created by the Great Sun Sword Pavilion in years past sought to melt the inheritance divine metals of the Nine Great Immortal Sects to forge the strongest flying sword; now it seems somewhat outdated; at that time, the Great Sun Sword Pavilion was only a Lian Xu level power and now cannot keep up with the times.

Pavilion was only a Lian Xu level power and now cannot keep up with the times.

However, Jiang Ding had long ago entrusted Wan Ji Zhen Zun and others of the Immortal Gate Material Science Academy to develop a higher-level sword casting art, and now results have been obtained.

It is estimated that after completely melting the inheritance divine metals of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, the Taiqing Flying Sword will give birth to a super composite inheritance divine metal!

This super composite inheritance divine metal combines the sharpness and magic-breaking of Po Fa Xian Jin, the nourishment of soul and enhancement of sword soul of Taiqing Divine Iron, the rapid transmission of divine consciousness and energy of Brother Brother Xuanwu's divine metal for faster sword strikes, the concealment of Tian Xu Tianxu Wan Ni Xuan Jin, the endless circulation of spiritual Qi and magic power of Five Elements Void Copper, the self-healing and indestructibility of the Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu Divine Tree branches, the ability to split into thousands or tens of thousands of consciousnesses from Shang Qing Hun Yuan Wan Xuan Jin, and the increase in divine consciousness computing power from the inheritance divine metal of the Tian Ji Immortal Palace...

The Nine Great Immortal Sects each have their own mysterious inheritance divine metals.

The Great Sun Sword Pavilion's approach was not rigid absorption or copying for use, but rather extracting the material characteristics it needed and discarding the rest.

For example, Brother Brother Xuanwu's divine metal has always been known for its heaviness and solidity.

In the hands of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, however, another use was developed: powerful energy and divine consciousness transmission speed, faster sword strikes, completely different from what it was in the hands of the Brother Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace.

The inheritance divine metals of the other Immortal Sects are the same.

The Great Sun Sword Pavilion and the Eight Great Immortal Sects fought for hundreds of thousands of years in the Nine Spirit Domain; the Great Sun Sword Dao went from the rough and simple beginnings in the hands of the first Great Sun Sword Master to the ultimate complexity at the end; generations of Great Sun Sword Masters and Great Sun Sword Zi experienced much and had very deep research into the inheritance divine metals of the Eight Great Immortal Sects.

This research, in many aspects, even surpassed the Eight Great Immortal Sects' own research into their family's inheritance divine metals.

"Taiqing Divine Iron, plus the nine types of Immortal Sect inheritance divine metals, melted in one furnace."

"Finally, it will form a perfect sword Dao metal."

Jiang Ding stroked the Taiqing Flying Sword lightly and said to himself, "I will name it Jiang Ding Sword Dao Immortal Spirit Gold; what do you think?"

"Buzz."

The Taiqing Flying Sword vibrated once.

It doesn't sound good.

"Sword Zi,"

"actually, I also think it doesn't sound good."

Dayang Dayang Tianchi Yue Ling interjected, "How about calling it Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold? The name is much better than yours."

"No, just call it Jiang Ding Sword Dao Immortal Spirit Gold."

"Yue, you don't understand appreciation."

Jiang Ding immediately refused, smugly: "Like Taiqing Divine Iron or Tian Xu Tianxu Wan Ni Xuan Jin in the past, they were all ordinary; no one thought they were anything special."

"But when their Sword Masters, their treasure masters, suppress the heavens and earth, the names will resound through the myriad worlds."

"Yes, Sword Zi."

"Understood, Sword Zi."

Yue took out a very thick book, the inheritance history of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, and she wrote and drew on it.

Wrote and drew.

"Today, Jiang Ding Zi, the eighteenth-generation Great Sun Sword Zi of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, created a new inheritance divine metal named Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold; the strength of this inheritance divine metal exceeds Taiqing Divine Iron by more than seven times."

"In the future, if the nineteenth-generation Sword Zi of the Sword Pavilion is born, the Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold should be used as the foundation of the sword embryo..."

"..."

Jiang Ding was speechless.

Yue Ling simply did not listen to him.

The Great Sun Sword Pavilion once had many Great Sun Sword Disciples, but only those who successfully survived and advanced to the Void Refinement realm would become the Great Sun Sword Disciple of a given generation; otherwise, they were merely sword cultivators who temporarily held the title.

"Forget it, do whatever you want."

Jiang Ding said helplessly.

He couldn't possibly drag Yue out and beat her up over such a trivial matter, even though he had the ability to do so.

But it really wasn't necessary to go that far.

"However, Yue, do you know?"

"I am truly very happy right now."

Jiang Ding quickly stopped worrying about the matter of the name and said with some happiness.

"Eh, why?"

Yue stopped writing and drawing, asking curiously.

Except when facing family, her Great Sun Sword Disciple persona rarely showed such simple emotions; it could be said to be extremely rare.

"Because, facing the Dao Sons of the Immortal Sects in the Upper Realm, I finally have a clear advantage."

"I have found a fulcrum."

"No longer being surpassed and crushed by them in every aspect, I now have an advantage point that belongs solely to me."

A smile bloomed on Jiang Ding's face: "The nine Great Immortal Sects inherit the Divine Metal that unites the sword and the body; this perfect sword Dao metal born from them surpasses the Ben Ming Fa treasures of the Dao Sons and Sword Disciples of the Upper Realm's Immortal Sects in properties by a great deal."

"Of course, this refers to the same realm; one cannot break through the realm barrier."

"They are indeed strong; they are naturally the darlings of the Near Immortal-level powers in the Great Thousand World, with countless resources, numerous Immortal Arts, naturally possessing Near Immortal-level experts to teach them, and naturally possessing Ninth-Rank Flying Swords; their starting point far exceeds mine..."

"But!"

"They, who cannot destroy other Immortal Sects, absolutely cannot possess this perfect sword Dao metal!"

"If one day, the Taiqing Flying Sword advances to a Ninth-Rank Sword Embryo..."

Strong confidence filled Jiang Ding's gaze: "Then, within the same realm, my Flying Sword will be far stronger than theirs!"

"This is the first advantage I have gained."

"The first fulcrum for my future ascension to Immortality."
