Chapter 2149: One Man, One Sword Descends Upon the Zhu Que Star Domains

In the North Origin Small Realm, over a million years ago, they had encountered these two lives and spent a period of time together.

Now, once again, they part.

For a True Immortal, the width of a Great Thousand World cluster is no different from one's doorstep; when the Sword Immortal took another step, the two arrived at the Heavenly Beast Garden.

The Heavenly Beast Garden, the former location of the Anyun Protectorate during the Wanfa Immortal Dynasty, houses a Super Transmission Array leading to the Zhu Que Star Domain.

Of course, the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal did not need a transmission array to travel; he raised his eyes to the star river, where the vast star domains, including the Zhu Que Star Domain and the Chi Yan Star Domain, lay right before his eyes, so close that no transmission array was needed.

Coming here was merely to collect some spatial data.

Jiang Ding looked toward the Heavenly Beast Garden.

This place is named the Heavenly Beast Garden; it appears to be an Immortal Sect power, but in truth, it is land of the Dao Court. All formations, finances, and Dao Soldier units are entirely controlled by the Dao Court; it is his own territory. Without notifying anyone, the many formations here automatically activated their highest permissions to welcome the true ruler.

Jiang Ding saw a long-bearded Supreme One sitting cross-legged and cultivating at the center of the Heavenly Beast Garden.

This was the Heavenly Beast Supreme, yet not any Supreme One he knew. The Supreme Ones of the Fallen Immortal Realm had already undergone one cycle of reincarnation; this generation held no one he recognized, all were strangers.

There was no need for any summons.

"Let us see the transmission array here."

Jiang Ding took a step and arrived at the place heavily shrouded by Dao Court formations.

This was an extremely ancient transmission array, likely from the Wanfa Immortal Dynasty period. The Heavenly Beast Garden had performed multiple repairs and replacements on it, yet it had never been activated.

The Fallen Immortal Realm was not far from the Zhu Que Star Domain, basically within the star domain's range.

The reason the Phoenix Chi Yan Emperor Tian had not searched it out was due to the special nature of this Great Thousand World, which obscured the True Immortal's spatial calculation abilities.

Jiang Ding's gaze fixed on this transmission array; the Great Sun Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul's black-and-white pupils carefully scanned, observing the most minute fluctuations of material and energy in this transmission array across its present and past times.

"Eh?"

Jiang Ding suddenly showed a look of surprise.

He slightly closed his eyes, communicated with the authority of the Great Dao of Law-Destruction, and a heavy, terrifying pressure spread to all four directions, pushing aside the barriers of heavy time, thereby tracing back the events that had occurred in this transmission array's past.

The scenes around them sped backward, a single second spanning several thousand years.

In these scenes, living beings appeared around the transmission array only a few times; these were formation-maintenance cultivators. For the vast majority of time, this star domain transmission array remained silent, with no people or objects appearing here, as if time itself had frozen.

Tracing back over a million years, they arrived at the era of the Heavenly Beast Garden, the era when the Tianhuan Immortal Butterfly ruled the Fallen Immortal Realm, and even further back to the chaotic era of the Duoxian Sect-like Immortal Clans.

At this moment, two figures, somewhat familiar, flashed past.

"This is..."

Gong Gong Caiyu's large eyes went vacant, her mouth slightly open.

"Old acquaintances."

"Truly mysterious old acquaintances..."

Jiang Ding murmured to himself.

The tracing-back scene, spanning thousands of years in an instant, slowed down, returning to the normal flow of time.

In the scene, this transmission array had endured many years; a thick layer of dust covered the formations, as if time did not flow here at all, extremely dull and boring.

At this moment, two furtive figures quietly walked in, extremely cautious, not daring to make even the slightest sound.

These two used twelve-tenths of their power for concealment and hiding, leaving no power whatsoever to even disguise their faces, thus preserving their original appearances.

One of these two was a youth with slightly dark skin and a simple, honest face, appearing to be from a mountain village.

The other was a youth with red lips and white teeth, excessively handsome, with flowing wide sleeves and a full aura of immortality, looking at once like a righteous cultivator.

The handsome youth was transmitting a message via extremely subtle spiritual sense fluctuations, doing his best to lower his voice: "Hurry and go; the Fallen Realm has gone mad, humans and demons kill each other endlessly, there is absolutely no possibility for us loose cultivators to become Supreme Ones. Master Canghai, Canghai Tianjun, will not return, at least not within the limits of our lifespans."

"Your broken sword can activate the array; when the time comes, we will each flee for our lives, splitting up. You had better be dead..."

"That would be best."

The youth with slightly dark skin said coldly.

Although the two were engaged in this life-risking business together, their relationship seemed poor, constantly wary of each other.

The two stepped into the transmission array together.

Boom-boom...

A chaotic spatial fluctuation instantly appeared, subsequently affecting the entire Fallen Immortal Realm; the disturbance was too great.

"Who?"

"Ants! Seeking death!"

They had summoned a furious strike from the Heavenly Beast Supreme.

Under this strike, the two Heavenly and Mortal cultivators were extremely terrified, like ants, as if they would die in the next instant.

But, for some reason, at this moment, time suddenly rewound; all spatial fluctuations and even the Heavenly Beast Supreme who struck were moving backward, everything returning to normal.

Only the two cultivators within the transmission array vanished from sight.

From within that time interval, one could vaguely see that the two Heavenly and Mortal cultivators had both turned into two skeletons, their qi having decayed to the extreme, yet they had successfully deceived the Heavenly Beast Supreme, raising no suspicion in him.

"An anomaly,"

"Unknown, unknown..."

Jiang Ding's eyes flashed.

At the very moment the two vanished, both of their gazes seemed to look toward the sky.

The place the two looked at was an empty sky, nothing at all.

However, it was extremely coincidental that this empty sky, after the passage of over a million years, was now where the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal and Gong Gong Caiyu were standing; the two's final gazes had fallen right here.

Coincidence?

Was this a coincidence?

Or did it hide something?

"Hiss..."

"These two Daoist friends..."

Gong Gong Caiyu sucked in a sharp breath, her scalp going numb.

She was now at the quasi-Emperor realm; the projected aspect of the Eternal Sword Dao's Sun was not weak in the current endless starry sky, belonging to the top tier of immortal beings.

Yet she still felt her scalp go numb, finding it incredible.

Could anyone's gaze truly pierce through over a million years to reach the present era, looking upon the beings of the present?

She would much rather believe this was a coincidence!

Than some terrifying thing!

Jiang Ding also gazed at the look these two Daoist friends cast upon him, remaining silent for a long time.

He did not know how much time passed.

Clang!

Jiang Ding drew his sword, slashing a deep sword mark across this teleportation array, severing the possibility of teleportation.

"Gong Caiyu,"

"I must depart."

"I am heading to the Zhu Que Star Domain, intending to, with one person and one sword, level the Phoenix Red Flame Emperor Heaven, destroy the Phoenix Heavenly Nest, slay the True Phoenix Son, and achieve further breakthroughs on the Sword Dao."

Jiang Ding said calmly.

With this departure, facing hundreds of star domains and countless beings alone, facing a powerful True Immortal Maiden, the burning battle intent in his heart gradually surged forth, and the sword intent of killing suppressed for so long grew as fierce as fire.

"May the Young Master return victorious."

Gong Gong Caiyu bowed deeply in salute.

No advice, no following, merely bidding farewell as usual.

She watched that one person, that youth in green robes, slowly vanish from her sight, once again throwing himself into the endless war and slaughter.
