Chapter 1568: The Great Sun Sword Lord Once Again Takes Command of Military Power

"I need tens of thousands of years, or even more…"

"Let alone the even more difficult third Nirvana."

Jiang Ding whispered.

He was not a man lacking patience.

The immortal sect's slumber techniques were currently making breakthroughs; they could already let Void-Tempering cultivators slumber for ten thousand years, and in the future should be able to break through to sealed slumber of tens of thousands of years. Combined with his own seventy-thousand-year lifespan, he could exist in the world for at least a hundred thousand years — research time was sufficient.

However, the Ancient God Ancestor!

This veteran peak Heaven-Man powerhouse, a powerhouse qualified to charge toward Jiang Jiang Jinxian, could awaken at any moment!

Where would another hundred thousand years be found for him?!

"Should I give up the second and third Nirvana?"

Jiang Ding thought of another possibility — this could be done.

Giving up the second and third rule-fine-tuning Nirvanas, he could advance to Dao Merging very quickly; there was no difficulty in it.

Only, he truly was unwilling.

This was a path with a very high probability of achieving Jiang Jiang Jinxian!

How were the Ancient God Ancestor's talent and brilliance?

Unparalleled through the ages!

Starting from a mere human slave — not to mention himself personally, under the Ancient God Domain's demon race rule, the entire human race were slaves.

One could say that from timing, terrain, and unity of support, not a single thing in the entire Ancient God Domain was suited to giving birth to human powerhouses. The difficulty was pushed to the extreme — it could be called growing a towering tree in a desert.

Yet in such an environment, the Ancient God Ancestor forcibly achieved ultimate supremacy!

Through fortune, through terrifying talent and brilliance, he achieved Heaven-Man, slaughtered all foreign Heaven-Men, slaughtered all foreign powerhouses, swept clean the Ancient God Domain, and transformed it into a blessed land for the human race.

Was such a figure a mediocrity?

Such a figure, if born in the Upper Realm and possessed some fortune, might well have become a Jiang Jiang Jinxian-level powerhouse!

But what was the reality?

Trapped at the Heaven-Man realm for hundreds of thousands of years, constantly slumbering, sealed, with extremely little waking time in those hundreds of thousands of years, living in a stupor, all for the sake of pursuing that one sliver of hope — a faint, invisible hope.

Such a hero of his age could only achieve this much.

One could say that even if the Ancient God Ancestor fully awakened again and broke free of his seal, the time he could survive would not be much longer, and the hope of advancing to Jiang Jiang Jinxian was not great — very small, not even half a chance.

And now, Jiang Ding was about to give up that bright great road with an extremely high probability of achieving a Jiang Jiang Jinxian existence!

"This sovereign truly is unwilling…"

"Such a bright, resplendent future."

Jiang Ding sighed softly: "My demands aren't high — let me beat to death a single Upper Realm Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Dao Child, or even let him beat me to death…"

"Dying in the pursuit of the great Dao — there is no regret in that."

But even such a pursuit, the Upper Realm Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong would not satisfy.

The big bullying the small, the strong oppressing the weak, cross-rank suppression — this is what a qualified Upper Realm Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong political sect leader should do, cold and rational, not pursuing some same-rank sword duel.

Stepping back ten thousand steps, even if he could not beat to death a single Upper Realm Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Dao Child, successfully escaping from the opponent's hands and personally collecting data on the second and third rule-fine-tuning Nirvanas would also be of tremendous benefit to the corresponding research work.

"Perhaps, wait for Yuan to advance to Dao Merging…"

Jiang Ding whispered.

After Yuan advanced to Dao Merging, the combat power of the Immortal Sect Central Army Group fleet would surge sharply.

At that time, the Immortal Sect would have a fallback. Even if he were unfortunately killed in battle beyond the realm, the Immortal Sect would still have hope of resisting the Ancient God Ancestor and winning, and would not be left without a powerhouse to suppress internal and external threats.

At that time, perhaps more aggressive risks could be taken…

……

Unconsciously, another several hundred years of cultivation passed.

On this day, the Sun Divine Wood emitted ringing sounds, sword qi shining for a million miles, sword intent resplendent as the sun, and only after a long while did it settle down.

"Taiqing Flying Sword has reached twenty-seven Sun Rule Prohibitions, advancing to upper-grade Dao Merging magic treasure."

The Sun Divine Wood collapsed and fell into the hands of a youth in blue.

Jiang Ding rose and walked out of Dayang Dayang Tianchi.

Compared to several hundred years ago, the magic power and divine sense aura throughout his body had strengthened somewhat. This was because the Immortal Sect had absorbed the inheritances of Badaxian Sect and begun revising first- to seventh-tier Gong Fa once more.

The "Wan Hua Wanhua Ciyuan Jing" that Jiang Ding currently cultivated had already absorbed various Gong Fa and become "Great Sun · Wan Hua Wanhua Ciyuan Jing," formally beginning to transcend the original Heaven-Man inheritances of Jiudaxian Sect and draw closer to the even higher Upper Realm Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong ancestral court Gong Fa.

It was unknown how much closer, but it was a large cut stronger than the original Upper Realm Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong disciple Gong Fa.

In a few steps, Jiang Ding arrived beyond the Mother Star.

Here, the branches and leaves of Shenmu Shenmu Futianrong spread throughout the entire solar system, connecting the eight major planets and Pluto, forming rings of tree clusters resembling a Dai Sen sphere around the sun, constantly drawing vast energy to supply the Mother Star's various industries and cultivation, maintaining the brilliance of the Ancient God Domain world group's supreme immortal Dao holy land.

At this moment, countless Immortal Sect powerhouses gathered, forming great arrays, holding their breath, gazing fixedly at the sky.

Within the million-kilometer Lei Gao Jie dark clouds, a transcendent Daoist sat cross-legged, inhaling and exhaling, gathering endless heaven and earth spiritual qi, his aura growing stronger bit by bit, bit by bit, as if there were no end to it.

This was Yuan!

After more than twenty thousand years of cultivation, this Immortal Sect participating-governor had finally reached Void-Tempering peak and was beginning to advance to Dao Merging.

"Greetings, Great Sun Participating-Governor!"

Immortal Sect Central Army Group

The fleet had long been in position. Seeing a youth in blue walking toward them, step by step, the Immortal Sect Vice Marshal's military uniform draped itself over his body — formally authorized by the Immortal Sect Citizens' Assembly.

Led by Zhenjun Shenji True Honored One, Senior Wanji True Honored One, Master Canghai True Honored One, and others, all officers and soldiers of the Central Army Group performed salutes in perfect unison.

Hum!

In an instant, array patterns interwove, descended, and landed upon the Great Sun Sword Lord. The quasi-eighth-tier central array spirit computer's majority computing power blessed his body, and the core authority of the entire Central Army Group fleet was placed in his hands, causing the Great Sun Sword Lord's aura to surge madly once more within its limits, surge madly, almost without end.

At this instant, countless Immortal Sect powerhouses' hearts trembled.

They could hardly look directly at the youth within that radiance, could not guess, could not summon any other emotion, as if they had beheld a deity, incapable of entertaining any other stray thoughts.

An interval of nearly ten thousand years!

The Great Sun Sword Master once again took command of the Immortal Gate's military authority.

At this critical juncture when Yuanji was about to advance to Dao Merging, when he was especially vulnerable, every formation of the Immortal Gate was activated, gathering all the powerful beings of the entire civilization, all frontline warships, and the Immortal Gate's Central Group Army fleet was at its highest alert state.

Even if a Celestial Being descended at this moment, attempting to obstruct the Immortal Gate powerhouse's advancement, within his own spiritless universe's mother star, the Immortal Gate was confident it could grievously wound the Celestial Being at the cost of mutual destruction!

Jiang Ding controlled all the Immortal Gate formations, commanded the Central Group Army, and quietly held down the mother star.

Boom—!

Not long after, the Dao Merging Lei Gao Jie in the sky descended abruptly.
