Chapter 2125: The Sword Fairy Treats All Things in Heaven and Earth as Straw Dogs

Many human sword Dao supreme experts suddenly relaxed.

Restraint and unease vanished at once.

The Sword Fairy truly lives up to her name; being with her brings no pressure at all, just like chatting with one or two sword Dao friends, with no hierarchy, no imperial majesty, just an ordinary sword cultivator.

Today you are stronger, so you shall be the True Fairy.

Another day if I am stronger, does that mean I cannot be the True Fairy?

It is just this blatantly clear; no need for any acquired superiority, innate divinity, or supreme nobility; sword cultivators judge rank by the sword and judge height by the sword.

"Daoist Heavenly Dao,"

"In my view, your sword Dao cultivation is the greatest among the Heavenly Sword Supreme Ones; would you be willing to discuss the sword with me?"

Jiang Ding looked at the many sword cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Star Domain, felt some interest, and said.

Special sword Dao from foreign lands always feels novel; perhaps there are better viewpoints or ideas to be gained.

"Sword Master, this..."

The Heavenly Dao Sword Venerable was extremely excited in his heart, but after a moment, he smiled bitterly.

He had been very confident in the past, looking down on the Four Star Domains, even believing he had a one-in-a-hundred chance of survival fighting the True Fairy; now that he had truly seen her, he had lost his confidence.

"It is fine; it is just for fun."

Jiang Ding saw the worry in his heart and comforted him.

"Truly?"

The Heavenly Dao Sword Venerable's eyes brightened.

Clang!

In fact, he could not wait for an answer and had already drawn his sword and rushed up to attack like a ravenous dog pouncing on food.

This sword strike was as vast as the Heavenly Dao, formless and intangible, carrying terrifying, violent killing intent that was everywhere, having everything, penetrating into the souls and marrow of living beings, just like the wrath of the Heavenly Dao.

This sword strike achieved perfection in the authority of rule branches and the sword cultivator's personal sword, sword technique, sword intent, and sword soul; the killing intent was violently fierce, as if facing a lifelong deadly enemy, with no appearance of a spar.

Many sword Dao supreme experts held their breath, watching this sword strike.

Clang!

Jiang Ding drew his sword as well.

This sword strike was neither hot nor cold; the sword contained one-tenth of the magic power and divine consciousness sword intent of the Heavenly Dao Sword Venerable's strike; the sharpness of the various rule-destroying flying swords was not displayed; it was also one-tenth the level of the Heavenly Dao Sword; the difference between the two was very great, and theoretically the latter should have broken upon contact.

Ding!

Ding ding ding...

The two flying swords danced in the sky, colliding hundreds of millions of times in an instant.

Although the speed was so fast, exceeding the limit of ordinary supreme experts' divine consciousness reaction speed, everything was visible in every detail, allowing all sword cultivators to witness every detail of the two flying swords, from the flying sword strikes to the operation of rule power on the swords, the application of rule branch authority power, the condensation and concentration of sword intent... and so on, all present in the souls of the many sword cultivators.

After watching for just a while, many sword Dao supreme experts showed a look of fanaticism.

They saw that the flying sword, which possessed only one-tenth of the aura of the Heavenly Dao Sword, whether slashing, chopping, or stabbing, was exquisite to the extreme; although it possessed only one-tenth of the opponent's power, it could concentrate even sharper power, striking every sword technique node of the opponent, breaking ten thousand with one.

As if creating something from nothing, as if a miracle and creation.

This is the peak of sword technique!

This is a sword technique approaching immortality!

Clang!

The two flying swords collided countless times, and then with a clang, both flying swords retreated dozens of steps; neither side was damaged, not even a shred of power capable of cutting a single hair strand leaked out.

"Thank you, Sword Master, for your instruction!"

The Heavenly Dao Sword Venerable showed a look of respect.

He knew he had lost, lost utterly, but felt no discouragement, because he gained huge rewards from this instructional sword duel, and his sword technique, which had been stuck in a bottleneck for five hundred thousand years, achieved a great breakthrough.

"Haha!"

"Fellow Daoists, why not draw your swords?"

Jiang Ding laughed loudly.

The many sword techniques of the Heavenly Sword Star Domain also gave him many realizations, and some ideas arose in his heart.

"Yes!"

"Sword Master!"

Many sword Dao supreme experts were overjoyed in their hearts.

Clang!

Clang clang clang!

The flying swords of the sword Dao supreme experts drew from their scabbards, with murderous qi surging to the sky; like enemies determined to fight to the death, they spontaneously formed the Heavenly Dao Sword Array and attacked the young man in green robes in the sky.

Flying swords like a tide, sword qi like water, filling the entire sky.

"Excellent!"

Jiang Ding drew his sword, and one man with one sword faced many sword Dao supreme experts.

He struck with one sword; although it was just one strike, all the supreme experts felt as if this strike was aimed at themselves, and their minds tightened involuntarily.

The many flying swords formed a sword array like clouds entering mist and fought against a flying sword like a beam of light.

The clanging sound of sword blades colliding was as pleasant as spring water dripping, echoing in the empty valley.

After an unknown amount of time, as the Taiqing Flying Sword struck down again, the flying swords of the many sword Dao supreme experts all retreated, falling precisely into the scabbards of their respective supreme experts.

Many sword Dao supreme experts fell into a trance, greatly realizing something.

"The Sword Dao,"

"With sharpness, with swiftness, using the sword to pry open the power of heaven and earth, only me, only the sword..."

Jiang Ding spoke loudly, explaining his realization of the Sword Dao.

At the same time, he put forward his own ideas to numerous Sword Sovereigns—offering suggestions on which Sword Gong Fa they should further contemplate, which Immortal scriptures they should read, and so on.

Long silence.

The palace fell still; the final sound of sword Dao faded away.

The Heaven Dao Sword Sovereign, the Calamity Heaven Sword Sovereign, and other Sword Sovereigns awoke as from a dream, bowing together in unison: "Thank you, Sword Master, for your teaching!"

Their hearts were filled with gratitude.

This single teaching session surpassed countless life-or-death sword battles!

A great opportunity!

This was a great opportunity for sword cultivators, bestowed by the Sword Immortal Lady!

"All this stems from your own deep past accumulations,"

"I have merely offered a few words of guidance at the critical moment."

Jiang Ding waved his hand and said, "You are all mortal sword prodigies, endowed with exceptional talent and genius. Since you have come to me, rest assured and cultivate in peace."

"If you seek sword duels and combat, go to the frontlines;"

"If you wish to contemplate the pinnacle of Immortal scientific research in the boundless cosmos, work within the Great Dream Sword Realm;"

"If you seek rare treasures, wealth to pass to your descendants, you may likewise engage in commerce… All paths are open—entirely up to your own choices. I will treat all equally."

"Whatever the Sword Sovereigns of the Northern Dipper Region possess, you too shall have."

"Do you believe these words, my fellow cultivators?"

Jiang Ding asked with a smile.

"We believe!"

"Sword Master!"

The Heaven Dao Sword Sovereign and others replied without hesitation.

If the True Immortal Lady Wanfa had said this, they would have given the same answer—but they would not have believed it.

Under the True Immortal Lady Wanfa, the best opportunities were always reserved for the Wanfa Imperial Clan and her direct lineage; only afterward would opportunities trickle down layer by layer like a tower to other cultivators. As newly allied sword cultivators, they naturally ranked far lower in that hierarchical structure.

This was only natural human behavior; they did not find it unjust.

But here, before the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Lady, they trusted these words instantly.

This was the unspoken understanding among sword cultivators.

This was the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Lady's absolute fairness and uprightness.

Of course, "absolute fairness and uprightness" was the positive phrasing; a more neutral one was: Heaven and Earth have no mercy—they treat all things as straw dogs!

The Sword Immortal Lady shows no special favor to any sword cultivator; she favors only the stronger, the more outstanding. Personal sentiment is nearly nonexistent.
