Chapter 1656: The Great Sun Sword Law

"Master!"

"Heavens! There is actually a Ninth-Rank opportunity here capable of washing the tendons and refining the marrow!"

The Sun Sword Disciple suddenly cried out in surprise.

No one around paid him any mind.

In fact, compared to the Sun Sword Disciple's incessant chatter, the others, especially the Supreme, had finished reading all these jade slips the moment they arrived, including the jade slips submitted directly by the Profound Fire and Profound Water Divine Lords and the Heaven Yin Divine Lord using the highest-grade transmission talismans; they had long known the full story.

"Heavenly Art Treasure, the Creation Spring..."

The Great Yin Supreme murmured to herself.

As the Supreme of the current Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, she knew more.

"In years past, a Heavenly Art River flowed through the Heavenly Art Realm, like a jade belt, starting from the Treasure Light Lake at the upper realm's gate of the Heavenly Art Realm, flowing all the way to the many Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie and Minor Thousand Worlds controlled by the Heavenly Art Realm, shuttling through the starry sky like a dragon of treasure light, making a round trip once every million years before returning to the Treasure Light Lake of the Heavenly Art Realm."

"This Heavenly Art River has an extremely strong nourishing effect on newly forged magical treasures; even a near-immortal supreme treasure placed in the Heavenly Art River to be nourished for a million years can rise one rank, making it one of the ultimate foundations of the Heavenly Art Realm."

"At the end of the Great Calamity, this Heavenly Art River was shattered and its whereabouts became unknown."

"Who would have thought that some remnants would be discovered today."

"These few remnants were hidden by the Heavenly Art Realm in the depths of time and space; even we, without opportunity and luck, would find it difficult to detect them."

The Great Yin Sword Master said calmly: "Even with good luck, finding these remnants of the Heavenly Art River, it would be difficult to wash away the endless resentment in the river, the resentment of the near-immortals."

She spoke of past events, making no effort to conceal anything.

"But Master,"

"Those two rogue cultivators are merely at the Dao-Integration stage; how could they possibly find the Heavenly Art Treasure, the Creation Spring, and purify it?!"

The Great Yin Sword Disciple was startled.

Under the brilliance of the Great Sun Sword Disciple, mere two Dao-Integration rogue cultivators with flawed foundations were truly hard to take seriously; previously, they had only regarded them as acquaintances of the Great Sun Sword Disciple and had not paid them much attention.

Now it seemed these two must have had an opportunity, or perhaps they had obtained some inheritance from the Heavenly Art Realm.

"How does the Great Sun Sword Disciple intend to handle this Ninth-Rank opportunity?"

The Sun Supreme asked with a smile.

"Master,"

"Four parts to these two rogue cultivators, three parts to the Sect, and three parts to himself."

The Sun Sword Disciple immediately replied.

His eyes were already full of longing.

The Great Sun Sword Disciple is a fine Sword Disciple indeed!

This opportunity to wash the tendons and refine the marrow from the legacy of the Heavenly Art Realm, Master and the others would naturally not snatch it from the little ones; without surprise, it would fall into the hands of those two.

"Great Yin, what do you think?"

The Sun Supreme laughed heartily,

looking extremely joyful.

The Great Yin Supreme remained silent.

Regarding this matter, the Great Sun Sword Disciple had indeed achieved perfection; he was just like a Sword Disciple raised from childhood by Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong, achieving the utmost in politics, with not a single thread left to add or subtract.

If he had swallowed the entire ten parts, that would be normal; rogue cultivators have always been like that, but it would be too greedy and short-sighted;

If he had followed the agreement completely, splitting five parts each with those two rogue cultivators, there would be no issue with righteousness, but where would that leave the Sect?

If he had turned everything over to the Sect?

That would be too sycophantic, showing no consideration for himself at all.

Such a person lacks any pride or self-respect of a Sword Cultivator; not only does it make people dislike him, it also raises vigilance in their hearts.

With such selfless dedication, what exactly do you want?

With such selfless dedication, how will you grow in the Cultivation World?

According to this current division, he benefits, his Daoist friends benefit, and the Sect benefits without any effort; there is not a single trace of bias.

One can imagine that with such an arrangement, if anyone dared to object, he would slaughter and suppress them on the spot; he possesses not only political skill and silver tongue, but also violence as backing.

He is skilled in politics and also strong, holding the ultimate violence.

Such a person is simply a natural heir to Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong!

The Heavenly Art Star Chain World Cluster.

Han Lin, the Great Love Divine Lord, along with Chong Chong Guang Zi, the Profound Fire and Profound Water Divine Lords, and the Heaven Yin Divine Lord appeared once again before the youth in green robes to submit their reports.

Inherited disciples of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong are basically unable to hide their emotions before the Great Sun Sword Disciple, no matter what expression is on their faces.

In the souls of the Yang Iron Divine Lord, the Profound Fire and Profound Water Divine Lords, and the Heaven Yin Divine Lord, a strong hostility suddenly arose towards these two rogue cultivators, Han Lin and the Great Love Divine Lord, along with intense greed, even giving birth to an icy killing intent.

Chong Chong Guang Zi, however, remained calm in his heart.

He also held killing intent towards Han Lin and the Great Love Divine Lord, but this killing intent existed from the very beginning; any powerful figure capable of sword combat looked the same to him, unchanged by external factors.

"Interesting."

Jiang Ding took the investigation jade slips from the several people, glanced over them, and said calmly.

The investigation jade slips of these few people were all different.

The investigation jade slips of Han Lin, the Great Love Divine Lord, and Chong Chong Guang Zi had discrepancies; the details differed, but the results were consistent: without Han Lin and the Great Love Divine Lord, the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm could not discover or utilize the Heavenly Art Treasure, the Creation Spring.

The investigation conclusions of the Yang Iron Divine Lord, the Profound Water and Profound Fire Divine Lords, and others held that even without Han Lin and the Great Love Canghai Tianjun, the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm could fully discover and utilize this opportunity, and they also provided an extremely detailed investigation report, with facts, human witnesses, and physical evidence, impeccable.

Jiang Ding carefully read everyone's reports, judged repeatedly, and even went to the site himself

for a trip.

Finally, he drew a conclusion.

The reports of the Yang Iron Divine Lord, the Profound Water and Profound Fire Divine Lords, and others were incomplete; they did not lie, but they merely selected facts favorable to themselves to compile into a report and submit.

These incomplete facts, when pieced together, formed a result entirely different from that of Han Lin and the others.

"The spatial structure of the Heavenly Craft Spiritual Treasure Creation Spring…"

"The degree of resentment within it…"

Jiang Ding took out the jade slips of Xuanhuo, Xuanshui, Divine Monarch and others, pointed to each of the arguments within, and softly asked them why they were incomplete.

"Sword Son,"

"Our eyes were dull, we failed to see clearly!"

Xuanshui and Xuanhuo Divine Monarch stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

"Oh?"

Jiang Ding was somewhat curious.

"Sword Son!"

Xuanhuo Divine Monarch, however, was not afraid, and said in a deep voice: "If it were an ordinary item, then so be it, but this is a ninth-grade Creation Treasure! Such a treasure should not be given to a rogue cultivator!"

"This is a treasure sufficient to affect the situation of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong!"

"Although these two have made great contributions, bestowing some Heavenly Man treasures upon them would be enough; no one could say that our sect goes back on its word."

"Besides,"

Xuanhuo Divine Monarch looked at the two rogue cultivators and said grimly: "Of all the treasures under heaven, the virtuous dwell in them. Fellow Daoists, in this Divine Monarch's view, your virtue is somewhat lacking."

A cold threat, undisguised.

Some things, even if you have the life to take them, you may not have the life to spend them!

A threat from an inherited sword cultivator of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong is enough to make ninety percent of the Harmonization Divine Monarchs under heaven tremble in fear, unable to find peace day or night.

Han Lin and Da'ai Divine Monarch remained expressionless.

They had no reaction whatsoever.

Clang!

A clear, ethereal sound of a sword cry blossomed.

"No!"

"I did this for the sect…"

Xuanhuo Divine Monarch revealed an expression of extreme terror, his flying sword about to leap from its sheath.

But there was simply no time. A terrifying flying sword had already bloomed one step ahead, slicing across his neck without any obstruction, cutting through his head, and a human head rolled to the ground with a gurgle.

The temperature of this stretch of heaven and earth suddenly plummeted.

All the Harmonization Divine Monarchs felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar; even Xuanshui Divine Monarch, Xuanhuo Divine Monarch's Dao companion, did not dare to make any move of resistance.

"This Monarch,"

"is one who abides by the law…"

Jiang Ding sheathed his sword and said lightly: "You did not strike directly, only threatened indirectly. That is good. Xuanhuo Fellow Daoist's head will be sealed for ten thousand years and imprisoned for ten thousand years."

"After ten thousand years pass, he shall naturally awaken."

"This is this Monarch's Sword Law."

"The rest of you, Xuan

Shui Divine Monarch, Yangtie Divine Monarch, Tianyin Divine Monarch, each of you shall receive three thousand years of imprisonment."

"What do you all think?"

Jiang Ding asked.

"Disciple accepts the command!"

Yangtie Divine Monarch, Tianyin Divine Monarch, and others bowed respectfully.

"Then go on your own."

Jiang Ding said lightly.

These Harmonization Divine Monarchs did not dare to say another word. Xuanshui Divine Monarch, carrying Xuanhuo Divine Monarch's sealed head, swiftly flew toward the outside of the Heavenly Craft Star Chain World Cluster.

Their imprisonment would be carried out within the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm.

Would the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm carry it out?

Unknown.

However, the Great Lie Yang Jianzi had merely done what he ought to do; his Sword Law permitted no violation.

The only pity was that these people had not committed a capital crime. Out of some simple sense of morality, Jiang Ding did not permit himself to beat them to death on the spot. This had to be said to be a regret.
