Chapter 2159: The Birth of the Soul-Locking Particle (Just Starting to Recover, Owed Four, Vote Request)
Many Supreme Ones departed with excitement, leaving only two people behind, along with the Zhu Que Holy Maiden who watched the two curiously from the side.
"This Daoist friend, are you the Zhu Que Holy Maiden of this generation?"
Jiang Ding, not letting go of the girl in his arms, asked with a smile.
Throughout history, the Zhu Que Holy Land and the Fusang Holy Land have been life-and-death blood allies, allies of the Emperor and Empress, supporting each other within the harem of many celestial dynasties, experiencing many conspiracies, treacherous traps, and deceptions.
This generation's Zhu Que Holy Maiden appears very extraordinary.
She is a cute female cultivator wearing a lake-blue palace skirt, her skin like snow, her large eyes shining, her chest curves very distinct, her realm seemingly at the threshold of breaking through from an Eight Tribulations Supreme to a Quasi-Emperor.
Very good indeed.
You must know, the Fusang Holy Land has not expanded, its ability to acquire resources from the outside world is insufficient, and its cultivation environment is far inferior compared to the Dao Court.
"Your Majesty, I am Zhu Que."
The Zhu Que Holy Maiden looked at the person before her with great admiration, obediently and cutely saying.
"Mm, Daoist friend is indeed a hero."
"The Zhu Que Holy Land has helped this Lord greatly within the time fracture; seeing its later-generation successor now is truly a fortunate event."
Jiang Ding praised with a smile.
The Zhu Que Holy Maiden lowered her head somewhat shyly.
In her heart, however, there was some disappointment, along with much relief.
The celestial dynasty harem has always been known for its treacherous and unpredictable nature; let alone an Eight Tribulations Supreme, even a Quasi-Emperor or Nine Tribulations Supreme involved in it could die.
Now it seems, there is no need to worry about this problem.
"Soft persimmon, what are the Fusang Holy Land's plans?"
Jiang Ding looked down at the woman lying on his chest with her eyes slightly closed and asked.
"We wish to follow Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty's stance is the stance of the Fusang Holy Land."
The Fusang Holy Maiden, reluctant to raise her head, said in a muffled voice.
"Very well, then let us return to the Ruin Realm."
"The Zhu Que Southern Emperor Star Ring should not require your participation; simply conduct the research work, and at the same time, take care to protect yourselves."
Jiang Ding nodded.
"The legendary Ruin Realm?"
The Zhu Que Holy Maiden asked with some curiosity.
The Ruin Immortal Realm has been recorded many times in the history of the celestial dynasty's Zhu Que Holy Land, but once the celestial dynasty collapses, this Great Thousand World will vanish; often only when a celestial dynasty is established will it be found again by a True Immortal or Human Emperor, and a teleportation array will be laid out once more; it is a very special Great Thousand World.
"Exactly so."
"You may settle there for a while; when the Phoenix Heavenly Nest is destroyed, you will see me."
Jiang Ding said softly.
Hum
The will of the Taishang Great Sun Sword Immortal, in a single thought, covered the entire Fusang Holy Land, covered the Fusang Divine Tree, forming a law-annihilating membrane that wrapped it up.
The Fusang Divine Tree hummed in cooperation; the two had no unfamiliarity.
In fact, the Sword Immortal who had swallowed the Fusang Sun Immortal Fruit already possessed a strong affinity with the Fusang Divine Tree; returning here was like returning home.
The surrounding heaven and earth transformed, turning into shifting temporal-spatial turbulence.
In the next instant, the entire Fusang Holy Land vanished from this desolate starry sky.
In the original spot, only a youth in green robes remained.
Jiang Ding sat cross-legged here, continuing to observe the operation laws of the True Phoenix's Heavenly Fire Dao across the entire True Phoenix Star Domain with his black-and-white twin pupils, observing the life, death, advancement, success, failure, and reproduction of countless flame lives in the True Phoenix Star Domain, seeking detailed information on the universal constants of the True Phoenix Immortal Dynasty from within.
Taishang Great Sun Heavenly Palace.
Numerous Quasi-Emperor research teams and star-domain-level research teams gathered.
The Taishang Great Sun Sword Immortal sat in the center of the palace; behind her, the authority of the Law-Annihilating Dao faintly appeared, emitting a suffocating, terrifying aura.
This was not to intimidate anyone, but rather a process of research.
Yuan, Cheng Zhen, Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Supreme, Seven Kill Sword Venerable, Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Venerable, and others tightened their minds, conducting test after test, experiment after experiment, using the Law-Annihilating Dao to influence various things within a realm of heaven and earth, especially influencing specific Daos.
"Preliminary results..."
A particle, finer than anything, materialized in Jiang Ding's hand.
This particle seemed like something born from the depths of the Law-Annihilating Dao; it was extremely fine, only gradually revealing its specific form under the continuous magnification of his black-and-white twin pupils.
This was a fine particle of yin and yang entanglement, rotating eternally like a Taiji, resembling the basic spiritual particle of the Immortal Dao.
It could also be called the Law-Annihilating Soul-Locking Particle.
Around this Soul-Locking Particle, the Heavenly Fire Dao among the Three Thousand Daos began to fall silent, to extinguish, and even to become completely ineffective.
Jiang Ding's gaze fell upon the Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Venerable.
The gazes of numerous Quasi-Emperors turned toward this spot simultaneously, carrying expressions of expectation.
"Yes, Sword Master."
The Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Venerable bowed deeply, drew his sword; golden True Sun Fire burned upon the blade, a sword strike of terrifying flames intending to burn the entire world.
Clang!
This sword strike had just been unleashed, but after approaching the Soul-Locking Particle, it extinguished.
Only the Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Venerable's sword strike remained in the void; this strike had lost all flame power, all flame rules, and anything related to the Heavenly Fire Dao was forbidden, causing this perfect and flawless sword strike to lack more than half of its sword technique structure, instantly collapsing with little power.
"Somewhat useful."
"But not much."
Jiang Ding slightly closed his eyes, assessed and calculated for a moment, then opened them: "The ability to destroy laws, I naturally possess. What the Law-Destroying Spirit-Locking Seed needs is 'skill'—it requires technique, using a higher level of immortal-path technological standards to strike at the True Phoenix immortal-path system, rather than crudely suppressing it with law-destroying power."
"Objectively speaking, within the Zhu Que Southern Emperor Star Ring Belt, my power is far inferior to that of the True Phoenix Child."
"Modifications are needed—let the Spirit-Locking Seed silently and invisibly influence the True Phoenix immortal-path system. By the time it discovers it has been deeply affected, the immortal-path system will already be beyond cure."
Jiang Ding offered his own opinion.
This was not casually raising a target or spouting wild fantasies; he himself was the strongest researcher, had made extremely important contributions to scientific research goals, and possessed accurate judgment in this area.
"Yes, Sword Master!"
The many quasi-Emperors received their individual new sub-projects and once again threw themselves into busy research.
……
Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting.
A divine Fusang tree silently emerged among the palaces, spreading outward into stretches of continuous holy-land architecture, while cultivators of the holy land looked about curiously in all directions.
The Fusang Holy Maiden and the Zhu Que Holy Maiden walked out from the divine tree, hand in hand, heading toward the Tushan Palace.
There, the aura of the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal existed in the greatest concentration.
Throughout the many years past, especially when the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal was still in obscurity, she must have often cultivated in seclusion there; as her wife, her dwelling naturally should also be this place.
Suddenly, the Fusang Holy Maiden's footsteps paused slightly.
"Fusang Holy Maiden, Your Highness,"
"Welcome back."
A white-skirt young woman and a group of Forbidden Palace maidservants bowed slightly, clearing the way on both sides to receive her.
It is worth noting that this white-skirt young woman did not bow; only the many Tushan maidservants bowed. Toward this Empress, her attitude was that mere courtesy sufficed.
Her duty was to guard the Forbidden Palace, awaiting the Sword Immortal's return, or the orders of a new Sword Immortal.
Any life that affected these two duties had to be eliminated.
The Empress was no exception.
"Gong Gong Caiyu, Your Highness, there is no need for such courtesy."
"This much is enough."
The Fusang Holy Maiden smiled faintly and said lightly.
Toward this quasi-Emperor, this quasi-Emperor who clearly shared a deep bond with the Sword Immortal, a heart of wariness gradually rose within her.
