Chapter 2148: If I Do Not Die, the Sword Emperor Will Not Come Here Again Before His Old Age

Dongling Mountain appeared in the mortal world once again.

The mountain forest from the memory of an ancient powerhouse reappeared in the world, undying and imperishable, appearing once more just like that powerhouse who had long been forgotten by countless beings of the Northern Plains Minor Realm.

"Mountain forest!"

"Immortal! Immortal..."

"The Immortal descends..."

In this instant, countless mortals around the desert prostrated themselves in worship, looking at the Dead Bone Desert that had suddenly turned into a dense forest, smelling the fresh scent of plants at their noses, and hearing the sound of flowing water, as if they had witnessed the traces of immortals.

"Immortal..."

It was not just these mortals; even cultivators knelt down trembling.

Whether Qi Refining cultivators or Foundation Establishment cultivators, even those called Ancestors, Jin Dan cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators, all knelt silently on the ground, not feeling ancient themselves, but feeling as humble as a young child.

Furthermore, some Nascent Soul cultivators trembled as they discovered several cultivators with otherworldly auras appearing not far from them; cultivators who made them instinctively feel pressure prostrated themselves, even more humbly than they did.

This is Soul Transformation!

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun!

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun who were even more humble and fearful than them!

These Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun were the rulers of the world, the most ancient ones, but at this moment they looked no different from infants, all so ignorant and innocent, as if they had seen even less of the world than mortals.

With a single thought, mountains and rivers changed, and the world transformed!

A young man and a young woman strolled slowly through this mountain forest; they walked through a patch of forest crushed by humanoid figures, passed a ruined temple, and then arrived at an empty mortal city.

This city had mottled city gates, bustling streets, stinking ditches in the Rotten Board Street, a majestic government office, a magnificent Hou Fu of the Town East... and of course, that general store.

All these things were memories experienced in years past.

Every brick and tile, every scratch on the stone slabs, the newly repaired threshold and door of the general store; everything was no different from when the Great Sun Sword Disciple left back then.

It was as if it were yesterday.

"Dongling Fu, home, mother, father..."

Gong Gong Caiyu stood dazed, her eyes slightly red.

Many years have passed; it has been many years.

Her father's and mother's voices, faces, and smiles floated into her mind once again; her father was the Sect Master of the Seven Mysterious Gate, her mother had suffered misfortune, and later everything became good, everyone was very good...

All of this was because of him.

"This general store is nice."

Jiang Ding smiled.

That naive young man back then was so brave, so wise and cautious; I must learn from him.

Be proud of him.

The two continued to stroll, and mountains and rivers sped past them.

Xiang Qiyu Sect, one of the three major sects of the Yue Kingdom, appeared before the two; the various features of the mountain gate remained, as did the Golden Lotus Peak with its second-grade superior metal spiritual vein, where the Sword Fairy had cultivated for a long time back when she was in the Qi Refining stage.

"Does Xiang Qiyu Sect still exist?"

Jiang Ding asked casually.

Back then, when he received the kindness of Xiang Qiyu Sect, he had promised in his heart to protect Xiang Qiyu Sect from extinction for at least three thousand years.

Do not look at it as merely a brief moment; three thousand years, just a snap of the fingers, was already a very distant era for that Qi Refining stage young man back then; this was a very heavy promise.

Of course, this promise had long been fulfilled, which was the reason Jiang Ding had not continued to pay attention.

"It still exists, Young Master."

"This world has not forgotten."

Gong Gong Caiyu checked some records and said, "Through the ascension rules of the Great Thousand World, Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting has always been able to exert influence here; your casual order back then is still valid today. Xiang Qiyu Sect still exists, the worship of Xiang Qiyu True Person still exists, and the worship of the sect's ancestral masters through the generations still exists."

"Of course, it is not prominent now; it is merely a Foundation Establishment sect."

"In history, this sect was once extremely powerful, producing many Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, and even one Heavenly Person who achieved ascension after falling into the Ruined Realm, but now it has declined. This is because your casual order only required this sect to exist, with no requirement for strength or weakness; it all depends on them."

Gong Gong Caiyu explained in great detail; she was always prepared for anything the Sword Fairy might ask.

This is the terror of a True Immortal Fairy; a casual word can influence a time span of over a million years, or even tens of millions of years or more.

A casual action by a superior being can cause violent impacts on the world.

"Let it be."

"Do not look after it anymore in the future; this goes against the natural laws of the Heavenly Dao."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly.

The three-thousand-year promise had been multiplied many times over; it was enough.

The strong should flourish, and the weak should decline and even die; this is the natural law. Attempting to defy this natural law will inevitably lead to decay and weakness, and inevitably incur a corresponding price.

Although this tiny karmic influence was negligible, almost unobservable, Jiang Ding did not intend to continue bearing it.

Only those who respect the natural laws and utilize the natural laws can endure for long.

"Understood, Young Master."

Gong Gong Caiyu recorded it.

The surrounding heaven and earth changed; in the next moment, the two arrived at the location of the Master Tushan Demon Kingdom.

Many things of great significance happened here.

Many things started from Master Tushan Demon Kingdom here, and now began to influence countless Great Thousand Worlds, countless star domains, and even exert a huge impact on the entire endless starry sky.

"Master Tushan Maid Group..."

"The Master Tushan Code..."

"Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting..."

"And many treasures, immortal arts, and formations starting with Master Tushan..."

Jiang Ding chuckled helplessly: "Gong Gong Caiyu, before we knew it, this Master Tushan Demon Kingdom has already generated many influences in the endless starry sky."

"Who could have thought that the source of the name Master Tushan was actually a few Jin Dan fox demons?"

"The changes of worldly affairs are nothing more than this."

Time is truly a magnificent thing; it has changed much.

"Young Master,"

"Should we build a monument here?"

Gong Gong Caiyu hesitated slightly and said, "Many events worthy of historical remembrance have occurred here."

This place is simply the place of origin for the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal; its significance is too great. Perhaps many treasures of time and causality could be born here.

"No need."

"We are not short-lived mortals; what is there to commemorate?"

Jiang Ding's tone was flat.

All these past events have always remained in his mind. It is enough for countless future generations to worship and commemorate, and for all who have experienced everything to know; the various reverences of others hold no meaning.

Since this place has been seen, there is nothing left to tour in this world.

Jiang Ding arrived at the Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting in the Northern Plains and gently waved his hand, collecting the ten percent tax accumulated over one hundred thousand years in this Minor Thousand World; inside were mostly spirit stones and some low-grade heavenly treasures.

This was the promise he made when he left the Northern Plains Minor Realm back then.

The tax revenue in this Minor Realm belongs one-tenth to the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal; this is a responsibility and obligation.

As for the tax revenue from even earlier than ten thousand years ago, it was taken by ascended cultivators to the Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting in the Fallen Immortal Xian Gao Jie and stored in the national treasury; this was special favor for the place of origin.

"Let's go back."

"There is nothing left to see."

Jiang Ding sighed lightly: "If nothing unexpected happens, if I do not die in battle on the True Immortal Battlefield, I should not return to take another look here before I reach the twilight years of a monarch."

"Dull and boring."

"Only that old man in his twilight years at that time would have the leisure to recall the various events of the past and feel especially nostalgic."

The Sword Immortal's tone held some reluctance, some sadness, and contained many extremely complex emotions.

"Mm, Young Master."

Gong Gong Caiyu accompanied him gently by his side.
