Chapter 1733
This starry sky fell completely silent.
The Immortal Gate and the Six Great Remnant Immortal Sects drafted a new covenant, or rather an order of loyalty agreement, according to principles already agreed upon, clearly defining the obligations and rights of both sides, with detailed regulations in economics, diplomacy, military affairs, education, and all other aspects.
After more than a hundred years of repeated negotiations, this contract was finally finalized, and both sides signed upon the Heavenly Dao Contract.
The signing parties: the Six Great Remnant Immortal Sects used their sect's inherited treasures and the remnants of the Upper Realm as the signing entities.
Correspondingly, the Immortal Gate used the Central Array Spirit Computer as the contracting entity.
Additionally, the Six Great Immortal Sect Remnants strongly demanded that the Great Sun Sword Master also sign; this request was granted by the Immortal Gate, and they did not demand that the six Dao Disciples sign in return.
This request held little significance.
The foundations of these six Dao Disciples were quite weak; what truly mattered was the Immortal Sect Remnants themselves. Having the Remnants as the contracting entity was sufficient.
Another point worth mentioning is that the Immortal Gate's Heavenly Dao Covenant technology, despite years of development, remained quite crude compared to the inherited techniques of the Upper Realm Immortal Sects, and its binding power seemed insignificant.
The Six Great Remnant Immortal Sects therefore proposed using their own covenant technology and were willing to share this technology unconditionally.
This request was rejected by the Immortal Gate.
The Immortal Gate would only use covenant technology it fully understood, even if that technology was backward.
The treaty was signed in an orderly fashion: first, the Six Great Immortal Sect Remnants and their inherited treasures signed, then it was handed over to the Immortal Gate.
The Immortal Gate repeatedly scanned and inspected it.
"Great Sun Heavenly Palace."
Jiang Ding whispered softly in his heart.
If any Immortal Sect thought the Immortal Gate's Heavenly Dao Covenant technology was backward and thus left a hidden hand, secretly setting a soul trap, that Immortal Sect would pay the price.
The new members of the Immortal Gate order, under the Immortal Gate's leadership, would complete the first sacrificial execution under the new order.
"Yes, Sword Disciple."
The Great Sun Heavenly Palace began a detailed scan.
What the Six Great Immortal Sects had here were merely Remnants, while she was the true body of the Ninth-Stage Peak Great Yin-Yang Inherited Treasure!
It could be called a dimensional reduction crushing strike; even if the Immortal Sect Remnants possessed profound methods, all concealments would be laid bare under such overwhelming spiritual sense scanning.
However, under the Great Sun Sword Law, the Great Sun Heavenly Palace would not participate in any battles below the Supreme, even if the Great Sun Sword Disciple were about to be instantly killed by a True Immortal Maiden with a single sword strike; it would simply ignore it.
This was respect and courtesy toward the Great Sun Sword Disciple.
For a long time.
"Sword Disciple, there are no traps."
The Great Sun Heavenly Palace confirmed.
This was likely due to the use of the Immortal Gate's mature covenant technology, making it difficult to set hidden hands; if covenant technology the Immortal Gate could not fully understand was used, whether there were traps or not would be uncertain.
As for the covenant techniques they comprehend, whether there are traps is hard to say.
Jiang Ding nodded and signed the treaty.
The Central Array Spirit Computer also left its mark on the treaty with its spiritual nature; henceforth, its logic and programs would operate with this contract as a reference.
The Immortal Gate is extremely cautious about any covenant; this is the reason.
The immortal sects are extremely cautious about any covenant — that is the reason.
As the Immortal Gate representative signed, the treaty was completed.
Ten Thousand Dao Rule Phenomena rose from the treaty; Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu, Five Elements, Heavenly Secrets, and other Ascension Ladders appeared faintly, while the Law-Destroying Sun Sword and the Infinite Logic Divine Tree stood tall in the high heavens, their branches and leaves spreading into the endless deep space, ruling and governing the four directions.
Ten thousand Daos' anomalous phenomena rose from the treaty — Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu, the Five Elements, Heavenly Secrets, and other immortal ascension stairways flickered in and out of view; there was also the Sword of the Law-Destroying Sun, and the boundless Logic Divine Tree standing tall in the high heavens, its branches and leaves spreading into the endless deep void, dominating and ruling over the four directions.
Just as ancient kings emerged and the cosmic Heavenly Dao resonated for them, this scene seemed to trigger something, heralding a different future.
This treaty was divided into seven parts, each sent to the Six Great Remnant Immortal Sects and the Immortal Gate.
"Greetings to the elders of the Upper Sect!"
Shangqing Lingbao Palace smiled.
"Greetings to the elders."
Jiang Ding smiled slightly.
Between them, all the tense, sword-drawn atmosphere vanished immediately, becoming friendly and harmonious.
The two sides even immediately began discussing the mysteries of the Dao; this is a common way for many cultivators in the Cultivation World to express friendliness, exchanging their understanding of the Immortal Dao, which often enhances mutual friendship.
The Six Great Immortal Sect Remnants possessed tens of millions of years of inherited knowledge, while the Immortal Gate possessed unique knowledge developed in the Spiritless Universe and the Immortal Dao Great Industrial System; their military formations were also very outstanding paths.
Both sides gained greatly from the exchange; Immortal Dao wisdom collided, giving birth to brilliant sparks.
The atmosphere was friendly and harmonious; the Immortal Gate fleet's collective will discussed the Dao with the Six Great Immortal Sects and the Great Sun Sword Master.
Amidst such pleasant conversation, the Immortal Gate's numerous quasi-Ninth-Stage Forbidden Nuclear Weapons began to be installed inside the bodies of the Six Great Remnant Immortal Sect Inherited Treasures, locking onto the Remnant bodies, and began deploying a quasi-Ninth-Stage Forbidden Nuclear Weapon formation, permanently binding the Immortal Sect Remnants.
Amid such pleasant conversation, the many quasi-tier-nine forbidden nuclear weapons of the immortal sects began to be stationed within the inherited supreme treasures of the six great Afterglow Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong, locking onto the Afterglow's main body, and began to lay down a grand array of quasi-tier-nine forbidden nuclear weapons — the kind bound for life to the Afterglow of the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong.
The Remnant Immortal Sects must ensure at all times that the signal of the quasi-Ninth-Stage Forbidden Nuclear Weapon formation remains present and is not destroyed by anything; otherwise, many not-so-friendly things would happen immediately.
Under everyone's gaze, one after another, the Immortal Sect Remnant Inherited Treasures were fitted with such chains.
Once this was done, the Immortal Gate fleet's alert level clearly dropped by one rank.
"According to the Immortal Gate Laws, within thirty years, we will go to the Solar System Holy Land Prison to serve our sentence."
Shangqing Lingbao Palace bowed deeply.
There are still many matters to handle within the Shangqing Lingbao Sect: rebuilding the sect, re-establishing systems, and selecting and teaching disciples; with the help of the Remnants, even if it is only knowledge without any treasures, it will still cause earth-shaking changes to a sect.
The Six Great Remnant Immortal Sects will grow rapidly in strength in the coming time.
"The Artifact Refining Science Academy, the Life Science Academy, the Five Elements Science Academy, and other institutions are currently being established; in a few days, various manpower and material resources will be dispatched to your sects."
"Henceforth, these directions will be a joint collaboration between the Immortal Gate and you all."
"The Refining Apparatus Research Institute, the Life Sciences Institute, the Five Elements Research Institute, and other such bodies are currently being established, and within days, all manner of personnel and material resources will be dispatched to arrive at each of your sects."
"Henceforth, these directions will be jointly undertaken by the Immortal Alliance and each of you."
Jiang Ding said with a smile.
"Additionally, regarding the Divine and Buddha Great Thousand World..."
His words paused.
The remnants of the Six Great Immortal Sects clearly heightened their attention; among the reasons for their compromise, one crucial point was this Great Thousand World.
"According to our scant intelligence, this seems to be a Divine Path Great Thousand World?"
"In this regard, we must listen more to the opinions of Senior Brother Brother Xuanwu."
Jiang Ding introduced the intelligence on this Divine Path Great Thousand World, then said solemnly: "The six seniors must serve three thousand years in the Immortal Prison; this point is unshakable."
"However, during these three thousand years, part of the sentence can be reduced through labor."
"If we encounter difficulties in our research and development of repairing the plane channel, we ask the seniors not to hesitate to offer guidance."
Jiang Ding bowed deeply in the posture of a seeker of knowledge.
For the seniors of the Immortal Path, he has always shown great respect.
"We dare not,"
"This is where our Dao lies; how could we dare not do our utmost?"
The remnant of the Heavenly Secret Xiangong said with joy.
Among the Immortal Sects of the Upper Realm, the lineage of the Heavenly Secret Xiangong is most skilled in spatial teleportation and Heavenly Secret divination; in this aspect, they are experts, nothing could be more familiar to them.
"Hahaha!"
"So much the better."
Jiang Ding laughed loudly: "Although the Divine and Buddha Great Thousand World is extremely dangerous and can now crush us like ants, yet with all the seniors working together with one heart, what great matter could we not accomplish?"
"Even if we fail, it is merely to die on the road of revival; what is there for us to fear?"
"Hahaha!"
"Indeed, to die for revival, to die without regret!"
The remnants of the Six Great Immortal Sects laughed heartily, very heroic.
This was one of the few things they could risk their lives for, disregarding everything; the Great Sun Sword Master indeed understood the human heart very well.
The goal is difficult, even desperate.
However, they are all existences who achieved supremacy from humble beginnings; in their memories, they have experienced countless hardships and dangers; what do these difficulties and despair amount to?
