Chapter 1731: The First Law of the Immortal Sect Is the Legal Basis

Partial civil rights!

The six great Afterglow Immortal Sects' bloody maws dripped with drool and fresh blood, instantly locking onto the most precious thing of the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect; even the many prior conditions were merely a smokescreen — this was the true main objective.

Civil rights were far too important to the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect.

It was an extremely precious and valuable thing.

Possessing civil rights meant instantly possessing the complete inheritance of the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect, from the most basic Water Arrow Art to the highest-grade immortal arts, even the forbidden nuclear weapon techniques — all obtained in an instant.

And that was only part of the many inheritances.

Accompanying civil rights was also precious safety: citizens would not suffer any internal harm beyond what violated the law, and could grow freely on their own, straight to the limits of their own talent and ability.

To the six great Afterglow Immortal Sects, this held a fatal attraction.

Facing such a bloody maw, Jiang Ding's expression was calm.

Perhaps to the six great Afterglow Immortal Sects, the Immortal Sect was also making an exorbitant demand?

The near-immortal path inheritance, piled up over tens of millions of years by countless sect geniuses, the wisdom and remains of successive ancestors, the highest-grade techniques of a certain rule branch of the endless cosmic starry sky — exchanged for merely the civil rights of a single Heaven-Human rank faction. It was already a bankruptcy-priced clearance sale, a helpless choice forced by defeat.

The six great Afterglow Immortal Sects were full of grievance, believing they had already taken the overall situation into account.

They had put forward conditions, the Immortal Sect had listened carefully, discussed them within the collective will of the fleet, done everything meticulously, strictly following procedure.

Then, a conclusion was reached.

No.

No matter what, civil rights could not be spread.

This was the foundation of the Immortal Sect's existence, the foundation of its strength to this day.

This was a matter of self-existence or not; no interest whatsoever could shake it, because interests were something to be enjoyed by the 'self.'

If even the 'self' ceased to exist, then even an immortal-grade creation would be utterly meaningless.

"Honored seniors,"

"Civil rights are not open for discussion."

Jiang Ding smiled faintly.

Maintaining politeness, but the cold refusal was made clear outright — not even a pretense of polite evasion, because this was not a condition that could be discussed.

This result stirred up irritable fury and extreme dissatisfaction in the hearts of the six great Afterglow sects.

"Is that so?"

"Great Sun Participating Minister!"

The Afterglow of the Tianji Immortal Sect said coldly: "Does your sect have absolute certainty of annihilating us? Or rather, do you have absolute certainty that even if you drive us to the end of our rope, you can still suppress us with ease?"

"Or do you believe that even if you drive us to the end of our rope, to a certain-death situation, we still would not fight to the death?"

"In the eyes of sword cultivators, are law cultivators

truly such cowardly beings?"

The Afterglow of the Tianji Immortal Sect growled low.

"But Great Sun Participating Minister, in this endless starry sky, in the endless starry sky where all races stand like trees, human law cultivators are the undisputed mainstream, occupying the rich lands of countless universes."

"Is this because the alien races are kind-hearted, because the sword dao sects are kind-hearted, unwilling to claim these good lands themselves, insisting on giving them to us soft law cultivators?"

Amidst calm words, threads of violent killing intent spread out.

Six heaven-piercing, earth-shattering great dao rule branch ultimate heaven-stairways grew ever clearer with the Afterglows' fury and despair, becoming more and more terrifying, drawing ever closer to the true Supreme.

Even if they had only a single strike's worth of strength left, even if it consumed all of their Supreme Afterglow, they would still fight to the end.

Because there was no retreat!

As these Afterglow Immortal Sects' heaven-stairways manifested, the collective will of the Immortal Sect fleet, aided by the central array-spirit computer, frantically calculated the victory probability of this battle.

Seventy percent, sixty percent, forty percent… in the end, the victory probability dropped to thirty percent!

This was the price of driving the six great Afterglow Immortal Sects to a dead end, making no political compromise — a victory probability of less than thirty percent, with an extremely high probability that over eighty percent of the entire fleet would perish, over eighty percent of the Combined Dao Divine Monarchs would die, and even the Great Sun Sword Master faced a considerable chance of perishing.

This highest achiever of the Great Sun Sword Dao had always been so, living on the edge of a blade as naturally as the wind.

But the Immortal Sect, as a political entity, could not ignore such a risk.

"Law cultivators,"

"are not cowardly."

Jiang Ding said slowly.

This was an unshakable fact.

Too many strong ones had emerged among law cultivators; that Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation of the endless starry sky was highly likely to be a law cultivator.

"Then, according to Immortal Sect law, does the Immortal Sect have no right to plunder our sect's inheritance?"

The Afterglow of the Tianji Xiangong said in a heavy voice.

They no longer much wished to talk; since the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect was unwilling to grant civil rights, then let everything remain as before.

They were unwilling to hand over their sect's supreme inheritance so cheaply.

From the intelligence given by their disciples, this was a sect that placed extreme importance on laws and decrees — even their dao hearts were strongly correlated with this point, especially the laws they themselves had formulated.

"No."

"That is a fallacy!"

"The Tianji Xiangong needs to relearn Immortal Sect law!"

Jiang Ding said coldly: "The First Law of the Immortal Sect clearly stipulates that within the Immortal Sect's territory, all knowledge — past, present, and future — belongs to all citizens of the Immortal Sect!"

"The sect inheritance in your hands is not yours."

"It belongs to all citizens of the Immortal Sect!"

"You—"

Tianji Imm

Gong Yuhui's face instantly flushed crimson as blood.

Despite his vast experience, possessing the key memories of numerous Supreme beings, having endured countless open and covert struggles, life-and-death battles, he was still so enraged by this crude and shameless judgment that he nearly spat blood.

"So, you must force us onto a path of certain death."

"Then calmly suppress us?"

The remnant will of the Tianji Xiangong said coldly, having calmed down.

The collective will of the Dongji Demon Gate's fleet clearly paused for a long time, continuously calculating and deliberating, endlessly discussing.

In the end, they arrived at an answer.

"We have discovered a great thousand world."

"A brand-new great thousand world that can be conquered in the future."

Jiang Ding said.

The collective will of the Immortal Gate fleet decided to reveal this intelligence, because repairing the planar passage was too difficult; the Immortal Gate had spent nearly ten thousand years and had only just managed to repair the spatial cavity there.

And the planar passage is a colossal channel connecting the two domains!

Repairing such a cosmic miracle would inevitably take an immense amount of time, or might even be forever impossible; the Dao of Immortals is so mysterious and unknown that no one can be certain of anything.

If the remnant will of the Six Dao Immortal Sect, with its tens of millions of years of inheritance, were to join in, it would surely accelerate progress in this area, especially with the near-immortal-grade Immortal Sect technology mastered by the Tianji Xiangong.

"A new great thousand world!"

The remnant will of the Tianji Xiangong shuddered.

The remnant will and thoughts of the Supreme beings of Qingmuxian Sect were the same.

These Immortal Sects' lifelong aspiration was to have their sect ascend once more to the Supreme rank and become an Immortal Sect again!

And to achieve the Supreme rank, a vast stage was required; a mere world cluster, no matter how much material was accumulated or how many heavenly treasures and earthly marvels were piled up, could never birth a Supreme being—the material foundation did not exist.

What they were doing now was merely for the continuation of the sect; they held no hope for this generation or the next dozens or hundreds of generations to once again achieve the Supreme rank, and could only entrust their fate to time, continuously enduring, waiting for even the slightest chance anew.

Now, that sliver of chance had truly appeared!

How could this not stir one's excitement, with emotions surging?

Perhaps, the sect might complete its revival in this very generation!

The remnant wills of the Six Great Immortal Sects trembled within.
