Chapter 1506: The Great Sun Sword Master's Sword-Heart Oath

The Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven realm.

Jiang Ding did not know that many people were already concerned about him; he simply concealed himself, silently searching, pondering in his heart the essence of the Heavenly Sword sword art.

Before he knew it, more than a hundred years had passed.

Jiang Ding had already completely searched through every one of the several hundred Minor Thousand Worlds within the two realms of Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven, finding nothing at all.

"The first time, nothing found."

"Next will be the second time, the third time…"

Jiang Ding Zi murmured.

When it concerned his own life, he would never be careless; the scope of the second and third searches would be broader, and more meticulous and random, without any pattern.

He had ample patience.

……

In the starry sky of a realm extremely distant from Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven, eight cultivators of imposing aura at the Dao Merging realm concealed the aura around their bodies, quietly waiting for something.

They did not know how many years ago, they had already arrived here through the Minor Thousand Worlds' transmission arrays of Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven.

They had even returned to the Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven realm far earlier than the two Taiyou Sword Masters!

"This may be our only chance to slay him."

"The only chance to end his life."

Tianji Divine Lord said coldly in a low voice: "This generation's Great Sun Sword Master is far too cunning compared to Zou Zou Xiyuan, and is skilled at concealment and escape; even if we defeat him, slaying him will not be so easy."

"Fortunately, he will definitely come to Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven."

"There is the Heavenly-Human inheritance he desires here."

The surrounding Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Dao Merging Divine Lords' gazes were as calm as still water, unhurried and unperturbed, as if dreaming back tens of thousands of years to their youth, united as one, hunting down the Great Sun Sword Child.

"What a pity."

"Taiyou and the other are unwilling to join us in surrounding and slaying the Great Sun Sword Master — truly foolish."

Wanshou Divine Lord felt some regret.

If those two could be used as inside agents, matters would surely have been a bit easier.

Unfortunately, those two were not the least tempted, refused immediately, and moreover immediately sealed off the transmission arrays of Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven, attempting to use the vast expanse of realm starry sky to block the power of the Badaxian Sect.

Although, after slaying the Great Sun Sword Master, they would surely annihilate Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven.

In this universe, nothing belonging to the Great Sun Sword Pavilion should exist; even if Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven was only a possibility, it must be resolutely purged.

……

Jiang Ding Zai Gao Jie searched between realms for several hundred more years, confirming that there was no ambush laid by the Badaxian Sect.

"Either this lord is worrying over nothing."

"Or they are very far from here."

Jiang Ding gazed into the depths of the universe's starry sky and said lightly: "They might rush over during the battle to deliver me a fatal

blow… therefore, I need to be fast."

"Best to be a bit faster, and send Daoist Guangming into reincarnation."

These were all the possibilities.

No matter what the truth was, Jiang Ding would treat it as if it existed.

The Great Sun Sword Master was very confident, believing that his several hundred years of reconnaissance would certainly not have any oversights.

Jiang Ding's gaze looked toward what was before him.

A Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie where extreme night and extreme day alternated in appearance appeared before his eyes, exceedingly wondrous; it seemed natural, yet had also been formed through the persistent transformation by Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven over several hundred thousand years, and was extremely suitable for Yin-Yang Sword cultivators to cultivate.

This was the realm hegemon, the mountain-gate world of Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven!

For several hundred thousand years, generation after generation of Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven disciples had been born here, grown, died, the cycle never ceasing.

Clang!

Jiang Ding pressed his hand on the sword hilt and slowly drew the Taiqing Flying Sword.

A great sun rose with a rumble, blooming with endless radiance between the realms, illuminating the entire Youming realm, reflected into the eyes of every Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven cultivator.

Endless auras of destruction, law-prohibition, aberration, and primordial magnetism suppressed everything.

'At last, this day has still arrived…'

At this moment, a single thought surfaced in the hearts of countless Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven high-level members.

Longing, yearning, worry, fear…

All manner of emotions, each different.

Would that ancient sword-law brought from the homeland become reality?

Hum!

Sensing the aura of an outside enemy invading, the sect-protecting inheritance grand formation of Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven was instantly activated, blooming with streaks of black-and-white sword-light; the Yin-Yang Indestructible aura shrouded the four directions, its aura heavy and terrifying, exceeding the peak of Dao Merging by a large margin, advancing one step further toward the limit.

The Taiyou-Guangming Yin-Yang Indestructible Sword Formation!

This was the sect-protecting grand formation accumulated by Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven over several hundred thousand years!

If they could control this formation, the strength of Taiyou Sword Master and Guangming Sword Master would more than double; the accumulated power advantage of generations of the sect was simply too enormous.

Throughout history, Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven had encountered several great calamities of sect-annihilation, whether from the Qitaxian Sect or from the Ten Thousand Races Alliance Demon God Sect, and in the end all had been repelled by the sect-protecting formation.

However, today, after this sect-protecting formation was activated and clearly scanned the soul aura of the invading enemy, the formation gradually began to change.

This formation no longer faced the invading enemy, but spread outward and suppressed inward.

Why spread outward?

Why suppress inward?

"The sword-laws of Ancestor Linyang and Ancestor Lin Yin!"

"The sect's inheritance Sacred Sword Duel has begun. No disciple or elder may interfere in the slightest, or they will be killed without mercy!"

"Any external enemy attempting to disrupt the sect's Sacred Sword Duel will be killed without mercy!"

Hum!

The Great Sun Heavenly Pool flew out,

transforming into a sun, suppressing the yang pole formation eye of the Taiyou Guangming Two Forms Indestructible Sword Formation.

On the other side, a Nether Pool flew out from the depths of the void, falling into the yin pole formation eye, and combined with the power of the disciples of the Myriad Nether Bright Sword Cave Heaven, together forming an even more terrifying and dreadful grand formation.

This grand formation firmly controlled and intimidated all directions, ready at any moment to suppress any internal or external factors affecting the Sacred Sword Duel.

Among the many disciples composing the sect-protecting grand formation, the Taiyou Sword Son and Guangming Sword Son looked at the blue-robed youth in the starry sky like a god, their gazes momentarily dazed.

Then, utterly despairing.

No longer possessing even the slightest courage to oppose him.

Jiang Ding's gaze fell upon the Taiyou Guangming Two Forms Indestructible Sword Formation. He could clearly see the unwillingness of the Nether Pool, the Taiyou clan's inheritance treasure, and the Taiyin Sword Law in conflict.

Because beside the initiator of the Sacred Sword Duel, no Taiyin female cultivator was to be seen.

"Inheritor of Nine Two Four Sun, if you win, how will you treat the disciples of the Taiyin clan?"

From within the Nether Pool came a cold voice.

The inheritance treasure of the Taiyin clan, likewise possessing extremely high formation spirit logic, had completed its new formation spirit logic reorganization.

"Treated equally with the Sun clan."

"This Sovereign will not force anyone to cultivate the Great Sun Sword Dao. The Taiyin and Sun clans may still exist under this Sovereign's banner, with no conflict whatsoever."

Jiang Ding said in a deep voice.

"The interests of the inheritors of the Taiyin and Sun clans conflict with the interests of Great Sun Sword Dao cultivators. How will you reconcile them?"

The Nether Pool asked again.

"Suppress them by force."

"Those who disobey, die!"

Jiang Ding said coldly: "This Sovereign says Great Sun Sword Dao cultivators can coexist with Taiyin and Sun cultivators, then they must coexist!"

"If it cannot be done, then all shall go die!"

"In the end, only the Great Sun Sword Dao cultivators and Taiyin and Sun cultivators who coexist will survive. This sect will be incomparably harmonious, with no internal conflict whatsoever."

"The sect structure you envision is extremely fragile."

"If you die and the sect splits, what then?"

The Nether Pool asked once more.

"This Sovereign will surely become a True Immortal in the future and will not die."

Jiang Ding answered lightly.

The Nether Pool fell into thought.

Soon, the formation spirit logic completed its reorganization.

"A Sword Heart Oath?"

The Nether Pool inquired.

"A Sword Heart Oath."

Jiang Ding said solemnly.

He knew that he had already gained the Nether Pool's recognition. As long as he could win the Sacred Sword Duel across realms, he would obtain the Nether Pool's complete recognition and receive the full inheritance.
