Chapter 2112: We Will Have No Descendants (Stuck on writing, owe two updates, will make up tomorrow)

"Go, and synthesize the opinions of all sides."

"At the same time, pay attention to the views of the Xian Gate, and design a reconstruction plan with the highest productivity. While we have not yet expanded fully into the Endless Star Sea, lock these down."

"Do not fear the risk of rebellion, and do not consider any matter for the sake of descendants — we will have no descendants."

Jiang Ding said lightly.

"The Human Sovereign is absolutely not our final goal."

"I… will surely become an immortal, live forever and never die; descendants are utterly meaningless."

A cold, indifferent aura spread out in all directions, as if freezing this Supreme Solar Heaven Palace, a bone-piercing chill, gradually losing its humanity.

"…Yes."

The Holy Maiden of Fusang was silent for a long time, softly sighed, turned and left.

Since ancient times, the true immortal maidens of the human race,

are they all so heartless and faithless, burning bridges after crossing the river, without a single exception?

Jiang Ding knew these things.

Jiang Ding felt these things were unimportant.

He slowly closed his eyes, sat cross-legged within the grand spirit-gathering array that initially connected the various star domains and the various great thousand worlds. Behind him, a wheel of Law-Destroying Sun faintly emerged, radiating brilliance, inhaling and exhaling the heaven and earth spiritual energy and the starlight of sun and moon that poured in like a torrent from the star domains, transforming it into drops of magic power within his dantian.

Between the seven great star domains — Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou, Seven Killings, Greedy Wolf and the others — faint, illusory spiritual energy passages emerged one after another, branching into numerous slender channels that connected the great thousand worlds in various places, gathering the spiritual energy of the great thousand worlds and channeling it to the great thousand world of the Gods and Buddhas, to the quiet cultivation ground of the Supreme Lie Yang Jianzi Immortal Maiden.

Here rang the clang of sword intent, the sound of Lei Ting shattering and destroying.

Jiang Ding's torrent-like magic power and sword intent ceaselessly wore away at the Lei Ting palm seal in his chest, like drawing silk from a cocoon, and throughout this process he continually recorded the immortal Dao data of these heterogenous forces, forming jade slips one after another, which were sent into the Great Dream Sword Realm and the Xian Gate Library, further strengthening his foundation.

Now, the Great Dream Sword Realm had been re-refined once more by an adult true immortal maiden, and with the finishing touch of part of the essence of a true immortal maiden of the Dream Dao, its operational efficiency was extremely high, almost deserving to be called the foremost immortal Dao heavy weapon of computation in the current Endless Star Sea, and one of the important foundations of the Supreme Lie Yang Jianzi Immortal Maiden's faction.

Jiang Ding cultivated silently, seldom handling miscellaneous affairs, only glancing from time to time; after confirming that the great situation of the star domains remained under control, he continued to throw himself back into cultivation.

The battle of wills with the Wan Fa Ancient Emperor had brought him a great deal of insight, and the Supreme Solar Original Ancient Talisman could be further corrected.

……

Meteor Immortal Realm.

After so many years, there had been no great change here; it remained the place bathed in the radiance of Tushan Lu.

Jiang Ding came to a shrine where wisps of smoke curled upward, and before a black stone memorial tablet placed extremely close to the center, on a par with those of Pure Yang Ancestral Master, Yin Yang Ancestral Master, Tai Yin Tai Yang Ancestral Master and others, he lit nine sticks of incense with a candle flame, bowed deeply, and finally bade farewell to a venerable elder worthy of respect.

On this memorial tablet was written,

The 481st generation Ancestral Master, the position of Solar Pale Flame and Lunar Pale Rain!

This was the memorial tablet of the Solar Supreme and his wife; after many years, together with the ancestors of his Liezulie Sect, they all rested together, jointly protecting the Great Yin Yang Sword Realm.

Time flowed like water, old acquaintances one by one withered away.

Jiang Ding adjusted the positions of the nine sticks of incense, making them neat and pleasing to the eye, then looked behind him.

These were likewise two Supremes, bearing the aura of Tai Yin Tai Yang; apart from their different appearances, they were almost identical to the previous generation's Tai Yin Tai Yang Supreme, giving one the momentary illusion that this was the same person returned through reincarnation.

Is this what inheritance is?

"Pu… Pure Yang… you…"

The Lie Yang Jianzi Son and the Lunar Sword Son stammered, unable to utter a single complete sentence, their hearts churning like overturning heaven and earth, struggling violently.

In the end, the two mumbled.

"…We pay respects to the True Immortal Maiden."

The two were somewhat unable to restrain their instincts, and with a thud knelt down.

The existence of a True Immortal Maiden, the name of a True Immortal Maiden, if left unshielded, would naturally appear in the hearts of living beings, coexisting with the Great Dao; even alien races without language could know it.

"You two,"

"It's been many years since we last met — how did you end up like this?"

Jiang Ding rolled his eyes and waved a hand to stop the two from their chaotic antics.

"Haha—"

"This is the first time seeing a living human-race True Immortal Maiden, so I'm a bit unaccustomed…"

The Lie Yang Jianzi Son scratched his head, saying awkwardly.

This was the overlord of the Endless Star Sea, moreover in adult form, the future Human Sovereign — it was simply a myth seen since childhood descending into reality, causing one to instinctively feel constrained and reverent.

"Your Dao heart still needs tempering."

Jiang Ding shook his head and said.

Having ascended to Supreme, the Lie Yang Jianzi Son was still, as in the past, somewhat unreliable.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Ding took his leave, and went to visit Yang Gu Supreme for a time, speaking of the events of these years.

Yang Gu Supreme had also grown old.

Already in his twilight years, with perhaps another one or two hundred thousand years to live, his bearing was somewhat aged, though his vigor and spirit were quite robust, and his body was hale and sturdy.

Jiang Ding walked out of the Meteor Immortal Realm, gazing at the distant starry sky.

In the hazy distance, the Zhu Que Star Domain seemed within arm's reach, a single step away; a flame-like power had been constantly attempting to explore toward this place, seeking out this great thousand world bearing the name 'Immortal,' though so far without success.

Because this great thousand world was special, transcendent; even an adult True Immortal Maiden could not divine its location.

"What a pity."

"The contingency reserved for evacuation into the Great Dream Sword Realm was never put to use."

Jiang Ding sighed softly.

A True Immortal Maiden, a True Immortal Maiden of the demon race, True Phoenix Son, was right here within the Zhu Que Star Domain, and had already expanded across multiple star domains; the immortal Dao cosmic constants she had measured, the manpower and material resources under her command, were continuously growing.

A longing involuntarily arose in Jiang Ding's heart.

True Phoenix Son.

Slaying her would surely allow the immortal Dao to advance further!

The Phoenix clan's research findings on the universal constants of the Immortal Dao would surely bring tremendous benefits to his path.

"No,"

"Don't rush… at the very least, wait until the wounds have healed."

"Otherwise, it would just be sending her to her death."

Jiang Ding Zi muttered to himself: "Besides, the True Phoenix Child also needs to develop, also needs to grow — what's there to see in an embryo?"

"The goal is to let her grow, become stronger, shine brilliantly, fully display her own talent, manifest her own Dao of Heavenly Fire, and only then slay her and absorb her understanding of the universal constants of the Immortal Dao."

"That is the true purpose."

"Without all that, why kill her? It would just be wasting this lord's time."

The True Immortal Child was planning, scheming many things.

Behind him, a charming young woman in a white dress stood attentively at his side, her eyes bright as she gazed at him, saying nothing, as if simply standing by his side was enough.

Gong Gong Caiyu.

This thick-skinned woman, who called herself an unrivaled prodigy of the maid path, had actually also advanced to Supreme, and a very powerful Supreme at that.

"Is Chong Chong Guang Zi still alive?"

Jiang Ding asked casually.

"He is still alive, Young Master."

"He has advanced to Supreme."

Gong Gong Caiyu said: "It seems he has reached the limit of the rule branch of the Dao of Light and Destruction. He has been looking for me recently, saying he no longer has the potential to become a Seven-Tribulation Supreme, and wants to participate in the Star Domain battlefield."

"Young Master… will he succeed?"

"The probability is extremely small."

"If a miracle occurs, then yes."

Jiang Ding answered.

Chong Chong Guang Zi's judgment of himself was very accurate — even advancing to Supreme had cost him a great deal of luck. A Seven-Tribulation Supreme could only be achieved through a miracle, or through his next-generation inheritor.

"Oh."

"Also, Young Master, the Supreme of the Supreme Clarity Spiritual Treasure Realm whom you told me to keep nurturing has also entered his twilight years. He likewise has no potential to advance to Seven-Tribulation Supreme — this, I cannot do."

Gong Gong Caiyu reported a matter.

Many years ago, the Great Sun Sword Child had asked her to help support the Supreme Clarity Spiritual Treasure Realm, doing her best to let this sect produce a Seven-Tribulation Supreme within a million years. This matter was now declared a failure.

"I will handle this matter."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly.

The last-generation Supreme of the Supreme Clarity Spiritual Treasure Realm had once traded knowledge of immortal artifact refinement for his promise — that the Supreme Clarity Spiritual Treasure Realm would surely produce a Seven-Tribulation Supreme within a million years. He had not forgotten this.

The Fallen Immortal Realm was still too small; it could not find sufficiently outstanding inheritors of the Supreme Clarity Spiritual Treasure Dao.

This promise should fall upon the Seven Great Star Domains. The population base there was far larger — a difference of over a thousand times — making it not difficult to find an outstanding disciple of the Supreme Clarity Spiritual Treasure Realm.
