Chapter 2043: The Supreme Solar Day Sword Immortal Is Merciful and Kind
The same debate was unfolding in many Eight Tribulation Immortal Sects.
The powerful experts across many realms keenly sensed an opportunity — an opportunity to break free from the True Immortal's control. Truly, no one was willing to have another supreme sovereign above their heads.
Zhenjun He Huan Sacred Land.
A Celestial Being quite coincidentally obtained an audience with the Zhenjun He Huan Supreme. She spoke: "The Fusang Sacred Land has been this sect's great enemy since ancient times. This True Immortal has already chosen the Fusang Holy Maiden to become his Empress. This is extremely disadvantageous to our sect. Supreme, we beg you…"
Bang!
The Zhenjun He Huan Supreme's face was expressionless as she slapped her own blood descendant into dust.
She did not know how this descendant had arrived here, how much support from the Zhenjun He Huan Sacred Land's Supreme she had obtained, whether she was a spy of the Divine Dao Monster Race's Supreme, or simply a whim of her own.
None of this mattered.
On this matter, no one but herself was qualified to voice their own thoughts.
Just as the Seven Killings Sword Lord, no matter what he did, had never asked any single person of the Seven Killings Divine Dynasty for their thoughts.
In matters of life and death, of irretrievable catastrophe, ants had no right to be consulted.
……
Wuji Qingse Jianzong.
"No!"
"Sword Son, my master is the Yang Sword Supreme…"
"Sword Son, this matter has nothing to do with me. It was all instigated by Chengxue Celestial Being. His family has had marriage alliances with the Seven Killings Divine Dynasty for many years…"
The Wuji Qingse Jianzong of the Seven Killings Star Domain had recently experienced numerous upheavals. An unusual line of thought had emerged—many believed that, following the collapse of the Seven Killings Divine Dynasty, the Wuji Qingse Jianzong was now sufficiently powerful to absorb the entire Seven Killings Star Domain and even expand beyond it, worthy of shouldering the monumental task of reviving humanity. This ideology had gained considerable traction.
The Wuji Sword Supreme, therefore, made a decision.
The Wuji Sword Son, currently drawing his sword and slaughtering without cease among the sect's cultivators, was his decision.
Whether Supreme's disciples, Supreme's own children, or families with many great merits — anyone involved was met with cold-blooded slaughter, no one spared.
After a long while.
In a pool of blood, the Wuji Sword Son sheathed his sword. Around him lay the fresh blood and corpses of sect disciples and elders.
The Wuji Sword Supreme watched in silence.
"Master is truly so decisive?"
The Wuji Sword Son laughed.
He held feelings for this generation's Human Sword Immortal. It was precisely because of this Sword Immortal that he had advanced to an Eight-Step Dao Son. Such a kindness could not go unrepaid — serving under the Sword Immortal was an even greater opportunity.
However, he also knew this was only his own thought.
The will of the sect's Eight Tribulation Supreme was the sect's will.
"Why wouldn't I be decisive?"
The Wuji Sword Supreme said with a faint smile: "You useless thing. You only reached Eight-Step Dao Son by relying on opportunity — you're far too inferior compared to me. Your next generation will probably need opportunity too, otherwise they'll be stuck at Seven-Step Dao Son their whole life."
"The sect is in desperate need of a period of peaceful growth."
"We need at least several generations of time to perfect the sect's inheritance, to possess the kind of sect foundation the Seven Killings Divine Dynasty had, so that the sect's inheritors have a greater chance of becoming Eight-Step Dao Sons."
"If you had steadily advanced to Eight-Step Dao Son, I might have considered it."
The Wuji Sword Supreme shook his head.
"Moreover, the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Supreme has already deployed a royal artifact to garrison the God-Buddha Great Thousand Worlds, protected by layers upon layers of formations; at least several Eight Tribulation Supremes cannot easily seize it..."
"As long as the Wan Fa True Immortal lives for one day, the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong can never possibly betray."
"There is no opportunity."
"These seven great star domains are not at peace. We need the True Immortal."
"Besides, who would dare gamble that without a planar passage, the True Immortal cannot come here?"
……
Countless Immortal Races and Divine Dao Divine Courts madly activated their hidden agents, hoping to stir up internal strife among the human race.
They even once again formed a God-Monster allied army to attack toward the God-Buddha Great Thousand Worlds, hoping to open a planar passage leading there and utterly destroy it, to complement the ever-growing contradictions within the human race.
But regrettably, these disturbances were only disturbances, and after a moment calm was restored.
Within many Immortal Sects, bloody purges occurred. Some insignificant discord appeared, then vanished, unable to affect anything.
The planar passage continued to be built amid such undercurrents.
In a mere thousand years, the planar passage between the Ancient God World Cluster and the God-Buddha Great Thousand Worlds once again appeared in the world. The instant this planar passage was established, all undercurrents vanished in an instant.
The citizens of the distant Immortal Gates sighed with relief, moving back and forth through the passage, communicating between their homeland and the Great Thousand Worlds, finally finding a sense of reassurance within their hearts.
As long as the True Immortal existed, as long as the Wu Ling Universe existed, the Immortal Gate would always have a retreat, always have a future.
The matter of the Seven Killings Divine Dynasty had been delayed for a long time. On this day, it finally began to be dealt with.
In the Supreme Solar Day Heaven Palace.
The Sword Immortal's pendant sword stood upon the Wang Zuo, within which a human figure was hazy — the figure of a youth in blue robes materialized, gazing faintly at the many figures below.
"We pay respects to—"
"The Supreme Solar Day Sword Immortal!"
The Wuji Sword Son, the Wildfire Sword Son, the Zhenjun He Huan Holy Maiden, the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Holy Maiden, and other Dao Sons of the seven great star domains kowtowed and said.
"You may stand at ease."
Jiang Ding nodded slightly.
"Sword Sons,"
"We ministers implore that the entire Seven Killings Divine Dynasty be exterminated to the last, not one spared!"
The Wildfire Sword Son began, his voice full of killing intent: "If it were merely a sacred sword duel among sword cultivators, so be it. But to offend one's superior — this is treason, a crime deserving ten thousand deaths."
"These creatures must be utterly exterminated, to warn against future imitators!"
"If not so, how can the hearts of traitors be filled with fear?"
"We, your subjects,"
"beg the Sword Disciple to exterminate the entire Seven Slaughter Divine Dynasty!"
The Saintess of Merging Joy, the Dao Disciple of Greedy Wolf, and others spoke with voices like great bells, in unison.
This was a necessary political statement, showing they shared no common ground with the rebels and harbored not the slightest thought of harming the monarch; this was a matter of principle.
This was the collective will of the human race's powerful!
"Not allowed."
"Seven Slaughter has already been punished; why involve the innocent?"
Jiang Ding said lightly.
As the True Immortal of the Human Race, he was benevolent and kind, unable to bear witnessing such a bloody scene, for that would violate his glorious image.
That would violate the tradition of the Human Race's monarch.
"Sword Disciple!"
"You cannot!"
"If everyone acts thus, how can order and hierarchy exist in heaven and earth hereafter? This is a chaotic decree!"
The Wasteland Fire Sword Disciple said urgently.
"Sword Disciple! You cannot..."
The Dao Disciple of Greedy Wolf and others also hurriedly voiced their stance, pleading earnestly.
"Not allowed!"
"Let the court end here."
The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal remained firm in her attitude, utterly resolute, unable to bear the destruction of the Seven Slaughter Divine Dynasty; even though the enemy had committed such great crimes, her heart still could not bear it.
In the second year, the court assembly was held.
Many Sword Disciples and Dao Disciples continued to plead earnestly with the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal to exterminate the Seven Slaughter Divine Dynasty.
"No more need to speak!"
"This Monarch's will is decided!"
The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal still refused, and was furious.
In the third year, the court assembly was held.
Many Dao Disciples and Sword Disciples submitted memorials once again, earnestly begging the Monarch to exterminate the entire Seven Slaughter Divine Dynasty.
"All of you, shut up!"
The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal was extremely furious, scolding the ringleaders—the Wasteland Fire Sword Disciple, the Dao Disciple of Greedy Wolf, the Saintess of Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou, and others—out of the great hall, ordering them to close their doors and reflect, to ponder well.
Afterwards, the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal accepted no further memorials regarding the Seven Slaughter Divine Dynasty, entered seclusion from that moment, no longer attended to court affairs, cut off the delusions of many Dao Disciples and Sword Disciples, ignored their visits, and sealed herself off inside and out.
The following year,
the Saintess of the Fusang Sacred Land sent a tiny fragment soul, comparable to a Soul Transformation Hua Shen Qi realm, through the Fusang Divine Tree toward the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Star Domain.
