Chapter 2079: The Second Supreme of the Immortal Gate

Under the gaze of the three, and under the observation and study of many Immortal Gate celestial beings, the Supreme's Lei Gao Jie boomed down.

Amidst the Lei Ting, a celestial being was transcending his own limits, condensing the extreme authority of a branch of the Star Dao's rules, transcending the essence of his life, and advancing toward another realm.

At the same time, the "All-Heavens Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Scripture," passed down by the Immortal Gate for hundreds of thousands of years, also underwent its qualitative transformation. Through the efforts of countless generations of Immortal Gate citizens, it finally pushed another scripture and another branch path to the limit of the endless starry sky, representing the highest level of Immortal Dao science and technology in a certain specialized Immortal Dao discipline.

Infinite destructive Lei Ting rained down amidst the starlight filling the sky.

"Sigh..."

A silent sigh.

This sigh only surfaced in the heart; it revealed nothing, showing how far-sighted one was, merely annoying others.

Jiang Ding also watched, feeling regret for a citizen.

Beyond that, there was little emotional fluctuation.

Among citizens, there is equality.

This means that between citizens, apart from legal provisions, both sides possess equal personhood and are the same kind of living beings; there is no necessity to care for anyone, and no one has a natural obligation to help others. This is respect, and it is reality.

Too many citizens are born generation after generation; the Great Sun Sword Disciple cannot help everyone.

His affection is only for the entire Immortal Gate and for the citizens with whom he had bonds in past times.

In the next moment, the booming sound of the Lei Ting suddenly ceased.

The extreme authority of the Star Dao's rule branch, which was nearly fully condensed within the Lei Ting, solidified slightly and then completely collapsed. The Supreme heavenly tribulation, triggered by the living being's leap-like breakthrough, also dissipated. Clear starlight appeared in this sky once again, illuminating many things.

"I am unwilling..."

The starlight illuminated the desperate face of the Northern Light celestial being.

His life of two hundred thousand years flashed before his mind one by one, passing quickly.

He was born in this brilliant and dazzling era where the Immortal Gate had already produced True Immortal Fairies, had already occupied the Divine Buddha Thousand Great Worlds, had spread its governing power to the Seven Star Domains, and where the Central Array Spirit Computer had already ascended to a Supreme Treasure.

He was also one of the strongest Immortal Dao geniuses born from a million life planets. Since childhood, he had been first in his class, first in university, first in the legion, first in the research institute... he had almost swept all the first places; no one in the same batch of students could see his back.

Yet, even someone like him still failed.

He was about to die.

"Central Array Spirit Computer... this is my final realization regarding the 'All-Heavens Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Scripture' in my life..."

In the final instant of his life, the Northern Light celestial being said sorrowfully.

Immediately, his divine soul and spirit were both extinguished.

Even his Dharma body collapsed in the starry sky and dissipated completely.

"Northern Light..."

Zhen revealed a complex expression.

Undoubtedly, the Northern Light celestial being did not like him and hated him.

Because the two were competitors; in the same era, they had always been competing, competing for the status of the strongest genius of the Immortal Gate in that era, competing for the seat of Immortal Gate governance, and competing until the very last moment.

In the final moment of his life, he was unwilling to give these realizations to him, but instead gave them to the Central Array Spirit Computer, fulfilling his duty as a citizen.

Even if he could eventually obtain these things, it would be through reading them in the Immortal Gate library, having nothing to do with the Northern Light celestial being.

He was fighting for this breath until the very last moment of his life.

"Northern Light..."

"Teacher..."

A sound of weeping surrounded them.

To Zhen, the Northern Light celestial being appeared arrogant, self-confident, and ruthless; but to other celestial beings, to other cultivators who had formed their Dao and refined their void, he seemed to be another person entirely—a kind teacher, an old friend, or perhaps a cheerful and sunny fellow Daoist, completely different.

"What a pity."

Yuan said regretfully.

"The difficulty of opening a path is just like this."

"If this citizen Northern Light had inherited a Supreme path passed down through many generations, he should have succeeded; his talent exceeded that of many Dao Disciples."

Jiang Ding commented.

The avatars of the two Supreme-level powerful beings watched patiently; their original bodies each had their own affairs—cultivation, research, refining treasures, and so on—and were not as idle as their avatars.

This time, they did not wait long; in less than a thousand years, the Supreme Lei Gao Jie appeared again.

The geniuses of the Immortal Gate, one after another, are now beginning to erupt!

Amidst the booming Lei Ting, the extreme authority of the Star Dao's rule branch condensed once again, standing once more in the starry sky.

This time was different from the last; there were no twists, let alone danger or a life-or-death struggle. The extreme authority of the Star Dao's rule branch was condensed in the blink of an eye; the cultivator's understanding of the rules and the extreme authority of the rule branches was incredibly profound, far exceeding that of ordinary celestial beings by a vast margin.

The booming Lei Gao Jie continued to strike down, landing on this newly born Supreme.

After an unknown amount of time, the heavenly tribulation Lei Ting stopped.

A weathered old man stood in the starry sky, his eyes filled with childlike joy and curiosity toward the new starry sky, as if everything in heaven and earth was different.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Senior Zhen for ascending to Supreme! We congratulate Senior Zhen, and we congratulate the Immortal Gate!"

Countless Immortal Gate celestial beings and cultivators who had formed their Dao and refined their void shouted like a mountain call and a sea tide, their joy unending.

In this cold, endless starry sky, the Immortal Gate's strength has increased a bit, and the safety of the citizens has increased a bit!

"This junior has already ascended to Supreme,"

"Thank you to the two seniors for your care previously; today, I finally have the possibility to give back to the Immortal Gate."

Zhen came before the two seniors and bowed deeply.

Without the deep foundation laid by these two seniors and their comrades-in-arms, without the piles of scriptures and classics, without the various foundations within the Immortal Gate, how could the Supreme that he is have been born amidst the vast starry rivers of the thousand great worlds?

This is the foundation laid by the former sages, making the lives of later generations better and the path more brilliant.

Without these, Zhen would merely have been a hundred-year-old mortal.

"Hahaha!"

"Who hasn't inherited the various foundations of their predecessors? Back when the sixth-generation Executive Headmaster of Wudang was in power, I too was a prodigy of Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou University!"

"These achievements are primarily due to your personal effort and innate talent; do not be overly modest."

Yuan laughed heartily, so delighted he could not close his mouth.

He had always been a teacher at Qingfeng University and Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou University; during the era of the Great Sun Sword Disciple it was so, and now it remains so, unchanged.

Now, it was as if he saw a peach or plum tree he had planted himself growing strong and vigorous, filling his heart with joy.

"You are excellent, and the path you have traveled has not been easy; do not belittle yourself."

"Go and lecture the Celestials of the Immortal Gate, recounting your experience of breaking through to Supreme; this is a tradition of many years, do not forget it."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly.

Like Yuan, except during periods of deep slumber, he had always served as a teacher at the Immortal Gate's top universities; the current flourishing of talent within the Immortal Gate is partly due to his contribution.

"Yes, Senior!"

Zhen bowed once more, then flew toward the Celestials of the Immortal Gate, filled with pride and satisfaction.
