Chapter 2083: The Supreme Must Work Even in the Meteor Immortal Realm

This generation's Seven Killings Supreme and Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Supreme did not dare stay long; they paid their respects to the ruler of the Meteor Immortal Realm, confirmed their status, and then hurriedly took their leave, not daring to disturb too much.

Besides, the two of them were very busy, with a great deal of work.

Throughout the entire Meteor Immortal Realm, apart from the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm, every place belonged to the Great Sun Sword Master—every spirit vein, every mine, every river belonged to the Great Sun Sword Master, including the Heavenly Beast Garden and the gates of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong; there was no exception to this.

The Alchemy Heaven Supreme and the Heavenly Beast Supreme had come here long before their deaths, hoping to resolve precisely this kind of problem.

But regrettably, they did not succeed.

The Seven Killings Supreme, the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Supreme, and others resided on the Great Sun Sword Master's spirit veins, cultivating with the Great Sun Sword Master's spiritual energy—and that meant one thing.

They needed to pay rent.

Without so much as a blade of grass to their name in the entire Meteor Immortal Realm, where would the rent come from?

Mainly through two channels.

First, a Supreme could transform vast amounts of spiritual energy from chaos, and this spiritual energy could be sold for profit.

Second, the two Supremes could work for the Great Dream Sword Domain.

For these two newly-advanced Supremes, many jobs had already been arranged—generally positions in the Seven Killings Rule Branch's extreme industry and the Beast-Taming Rule Branch's extreme industry.

After all, they were Supremes standing at the extreme of a certain rule branch in the endless cosmic starry sky; building a complete immortal-path factory complex for them was no problem, and the expected output gains would be very considerable.

The Great Sun Sword Master was merciful.

The two Supremes working at their posts could obtain sufficient resources to cultivate and advance, could acquire funds to rent spirit veins like the Seven Killings Extreme Domain to restore their sects, and once a large batch of disciples grew up, their rent pressure would quickly shrink, and they might even turn a profit and feed it back into themselves.

Apart from the inner core, it seemed nothing on the surface had changed.

The Seven Killings Xiangong was still the Seven Killings Xiangong, the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm was still the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm, the sacrifices to their successive patriarchs had never stopped, and the internal laws of the sects were still operating.

But there was one point: the Master Tushan Code was supreme!

Whether it was the Seven Killings Xiangong, the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm, or the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm, no sect law could conflict with the Master Tushan Code, or it would immediately become void.

This meant that disciples of the Seven Killings Xiangong and the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm were simultaneously under the jurisdiction of the Master Tushan Code; they belonged to the Great Sun Sword Master, not to the Seven Killings Supreme or the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Supreme, and their life and death had to be adjudicated by the Master Tushan Code rather than decided in a single word by some high-ranking cultivator.

What the Meteor Immortal Realm practiced was absolutely not an immortal-path feudal system!

The laws of the Meteor Immortal Realm governed everyone, all the way down to Qi-Training cultivators and even mortals; with such capability and computing power, sects like the Seven Killings Xiangong could be established, but they had to accept guidance from the Great Dream Sword Domain in all aspects—internal affairs, finance, production—and sect disciples could freely switch sects.

In practice, the "sects" of the Meteor Immortal Realm were already completely different from immortal-path sects in the traditional sense.

Named sects, they appeared to be organizations integrating military, political, civil, and judicial affairs.

In reality, they should be called companies—a company named Seven Killings Xiangong, a company named Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm—with their powers in every aspect drastically diminished.

This kind of "tyranny" naturally drew the dissatisfaction of many high-ranking cultivators.

The Heavenly Beast Supreme and the Alchemy Heaven Supreme dying here before their deaths inevitably carried some meaning of "dying in remonstrance"; if they seized the chance, the likelihood of the Seven Killings Supreme, the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Supreme, and others defecting was extremely high—after all, going from a Supreme standing above billions upon billions to a bird in the Master Tushan Code's cage was bound to breed resentment.

However,

Who cared?

If they wanted to betray, then let them betray—the Great Sun Sword Master did not care.

For disturbances below the Supreme level, numerous Master Tushan maids, Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm Celestials, and many other Celestials of various races would scramble to resolve them.

For disturbances at the Supreme level and above, the Great Sun Sword Master would resolve them with great pleasure, not feeling it was a waste of time, nor finding it troublesome.

After more than fifty thousand years of clearing and rebuilding, the current Meteor Immortal World cluster had been built into a massive immortal-path industrial production system, with annual output at least ten times greater than the combined output of all the old-era factions.

More efficient immortal-path technical inheritance, a more excellent organizational system, a public-security environment free of internal strife, a friendly research-and-development environment… these things that had never appeared in the past tens of millions of years had greatly increased the immortal-path productivity of the Meteor Immortal Realm; output in pills, talismans, dharma treasures, and agricultural products basically met the cultivation needs of all cultivators, and formed a massive tax revenue that flowed into the Great Sun Sword Master's pockets.

The entire Meteor Immortal World cluster was now completely different.

"Pure Yang,"

"You claim to preserve the sect inheritances of each sect and each race, but in reality you've done something more ruthless than rooting them out."

The Sun Supreme said approvingly: "I had thought you were too young and too merciful, and had therefore spared these sects."

If this system kept running, with disciples of every race and sect freely rotating, after tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years these people would know only the Great Dream Sword Domain and not their families, sects, or races; the Meteor Immortal Realm would be integrated into one.

"I thought the senior would rebuke me."

Jiang Ding said in surprise.

After all, the two of them had previously chatted happily with the Heavenly Beast Supreme and others, fondly reminiscing about old times.

"Hahaha!"

"You're underestimating me."

The Sun Supreme laughed heartily: "In my view, we should have utterly destroyed sects like the Heavenly Beast Garden and Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong, executed all their members, seized their inheritances, and established new alchemy veins, sword veins, and so on within the sects."

"Best to kill them clean!"

He said with killing intent, without a single thought of old affection.

Was there old affection?

Of course there was—opponents and old friends of so many years.

But compared to the ten-thousand-generation foundation of a sect, this old affection was not worth mentioning.

"Still, though wiping out entire households is good, it's hard to plunder a complete inheritance."

"Being able to swallow one or two tenths of a sect's foundation would already be quite good; even if their strength is no match for yours, self-destroying their sect's inheritance is still no problem for them."

The Sun Supreme said: "Your way, though it takes a long time and has many variables, can absorb the old inheritances to the greatest extent."

"That's quite a bit better than I imagined."

He was very satisfied with this.

"You're too kind."

"I never thought as far ahead as the senior did—I just wanted to earn a bit more silver and improve my cultivation."

Jiang Ding laughed helplessly.

An old senior was an old senior—shrewd and ruthless; the worries in his heart and the explanations he had prepared were entirely unnecessary.

The two discussed for a while the organizational system of the Meteor Immortal Realm; the Sun Supreme offered many of his own views, and Jiang Ding humbly accepted the advice, saying he would definitely make adjustments and corrections in the future.

"Senior, are many of the Heavenly Being seniors about to leave?"

Jiang Ding suddenly asked.

Counting the days, it was about time — this was in fact the main reason he had come here; the Heavenly Beast Supreme and the others with whom he had little past acquaintance were merely incidental.
