Chapter 1603: The Solar-System-Grade Warship's Solar Wings of the Future

Immortal Gate · Former End-Law City Ruins.

A flying sword of profound gold with dimmed spiritual light appeared in the cold, dead silent starry sky, looking incomparably tiny among the Zhou Tian stars, among the stars formed by fixed stars, like a speck of dust on a cosmic scale, very easy to be overlooked.

But in fact, that was not the case.

The instant this flying sword appeared, terrifying gravity emerged, as if a planet had suddenly appeared here; gravity instantly affected the surrounding meteorites and planetary motions, and even the orbit of a nearby fixed star was shifted by a tiny amount.

This was a celestial-body-grade creation!

"Wuhu!"

"I'm back! No Heavenly Being blocked me, and I wasn't beaten to death by a Jiang Jiang Jinxian existence!"

Jiang Ding's sword soul appeared within the Taiqing Flying Sword, without any body shattered to ash, without any miserable shattering of the sword soul, and said in high spirits: "This lord is truly too strong!"

"I'm too strong!!!"

He was in a very good mood, and even whistled.

"The Qiansi Heavenly Being was really too polite."

"The locals are really too courteous, and the Immortal Artifact Sect is truly a very excellent sect; beating him to death not only gave me no moral burden, but actually gave me the joy of acting on Heaven's behalf."

"A perfect sect…"

Jiang Ding said sincerely.

Of course, those living beings who died in the battle's aftershocks — that was indeed a tragedy, but it wasn't done by him; he had even restrained his own aftershocks, and as someone who came from an Immortal Gate, he had much sympathy for mortals and low-level cultivators.

"The only pity is that I didn't completely finish off the Qiansi Heavenly Being."

"This has to be called a regret."

Jiang Ding sighed.

Like a Hedao Divine Monarch, a Heavenly Being further merged their Shen Hun Lao Yin with the Heavenly Dao as one, and went a step further, grasping a subtle adjustment rule belonging to themselves within the Heavenly Dao, further expanding their autonomy.

If a Heavenly Being dies in battle, their numerous clones can still survive.

Moreover, if a Heavenly Being prepared for their own death while alive, preparing a powerful body for soul-seizing, the time to revive would be greatly reduced.

From the vast inheritance transmitted to him by the Yanggu Heavenly Being, Heavenly Beings of the upper realm's Qingmuxian Sect generally revive within ten thousand years.

This was the cockroach-like tenacious vitality of a Heavenly Being.

To completely erase a Heavenly Being's traces in the world, one must grasp the power of karma — at the moment of slaying them, simultaneously slay all their clones, then delve deep into the Heavenly Dao's rules to completely slay their Shen Hun Lao Yin; only thus could a Heavenly Being truly be killed.

This level of strength had to approach that of a Great Thousand World Supreme to be possible.

The Qingmuxian Sect's Dao Child was still a long distance from this height.

However, the death of the main body was still an extremely painful price for a Heavenly Being

?? This meant the Dharma Body painstakingly cultivated for over a hundred thousand years was broken; even after revival, cultivating back to the peak would still require over ten thousand years, and the possibility of further advancing cultivation had dropped by a large margin — truly a grudge of obstructing the Dao, irreconcilable unto death.

"Enough, these things for later."

"I wonder if there'll be a chance in the future to meet such warm and hospitable Heavenly Beings again."

Jiang Ding sighed, looked at his spoils, and his spirit instantly lifted.

The Qiansi Heavenly Being didn't carry much on his person — just a clump of puppet threads rooted in karma and fate, and a wrench-shaped spatial dharma treasure the size of a finger bone.

This clump of puppet threads was extremely wondrous.

The moment it appeared in the spiritless universe, it sprouted countless thread-ends, wanting to burrow into something, but burrowed into nothing, and could only extend outward boundlessly, spreading into the vast starry sky, spreading onto meteorites and numerous planets, and many puppet threads even spread onto a fixed star, wanting to wrap it up.

Zzzzz…

A clump of puppet threads wound around the fixed star, blocking the star's light; this clump of Heavenly-Being-grade puppet threads desperately wanted to find a substitute for spiritual energy, a substitute for rules, and so in its desperation chose the fixed star.

The key was, it actually wound around the fixed star again and again without being burned away!

This fixed star instantly dimmed by several grades.

"This material is just too good!"

Jiang Ding's eyes shone brightly, and he praised sincerely.

It had been a long time since he had touched any confiscated dharma treasure; any confiscated dharma treasure in his hands was basically equivalent to raw material, and still required much effort to re-refine and recycle — he simply looked down on the dharma-treasure refining level of enemies, too crude, with a huge gap compared to the Immortal Gate's smelting industry.

But now he truly understood the saying "there is always someone stronger, always someone higher."

This clump of puppet threads from the Qiansi Heavenly Being could actually completely wrap a fixed star without damage, and even many thread-ends that plunged deep into the star's core could hold on for a moment before instantly retreating — truly beyond reason, much harder than his own flying sword.

This thing might in the future be refined into the solar wings of a solar-system-grade warship.

"Take your time playing, I'll come find you again later."

Jiang Ding placed a sword-soul imprint on the puppet threads and the finger-bone spatial dharma treasure, then left, riding his sword at full speed toward the Immortal Gate's home star.

Now he was on the brink of death, with no ability to handle these two spoils.

Leaving them here was also fine — a Heavenly Being's dharma treasure surely contained many prohibitions, soul traps, and karma traps; whether he could solve them with his Immortal Dao attainments was unknown. Leaving them in the spiritless universe would precisely weaken them somewhat, and by the time he returned after recovering, the difficulty of handling them would surely drop by a large margin.

A streak of sword light raced through the universe, flickering, soaring at the speed of light.

After much time

passed, Jiang Ding once again arrived at the Immortal Gate's home star — a beautiful solar system covered by numerous dark-green banyan branches.

"Welcome, Great Sun Councillor."

The Central Array Spirit Computer guided this flying sword, sheltered him, and sent him into the highest-grade quasi-eighth-rank healing Secret Realm, where boundless spiritual energy and Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu essence gathered toward this place.

Thanks to the Qingmuxian Sect's surrender, the Immortal Gate had now achieved multiple major breakthroughs in succession in the exploration of healing Immortal Dao techniques; its current healing ability far exceeded before.

"Haah…"

"Tired."

Jiang Ding and the Taiqing Flying Sword were a bit sleepy; he yawned, and slowly sank into deep slumber.

Before falling asleep, he transmitted the numerous Heavenly-Being-grade inheritances obtained from the Yanggu Heavenly Being, as well as the severely incomplete Jiang Jiang Jinxian-grade inheritances, over to be submitted to the Central Array Spirit Computer's Immortal Gate Library.

This was instinct.

The instinct of the Immortal Gate's most ancient cultivator.

……

At the same time, Yuan, who was cultivating in the Mother Star's governing office, seemed to sense something and opened his eyes. Just as he was about to go over and say hello, he found that the other party had already fallen asleep.

"Sigh, not even chat for a while."

Yuan said with a helpless sigh.

Many old friends slumbered, and throughout the entire Immortal Sect, above and below, everyone was a junior. There wasn't a single person to chat with. Although he was not young in years, this was still his first time experiencing this kind of loneliness.

The next moment, the many new pieces of knowledge that had appeared in the Immortal Sect's library made Yuan quickly forget his loneliness.

"Heavens!"

"So many Celestial Being inheritances!"

Yuan's eyes shone brightly, and he said fervently: "It looks like many difficult problems in the Immortal Sect's research are going to be solved — just copy them. The many upcoming eighth-tier projects are definitely going to go much more smoothly."

"Fine, if you won't chat, I'll go do research."

"Only the Dao of Immortal Science is my true love. What Great Sun Sword Master? Don't know him at all…"

Yuan hurriedly rose, went to gather many Immortal Sect scientists, and convened a new round of Immortal Sect scientific symposium.
