Chapter 2274
The outside world is in turmoil, the starry sky situation in chaos.
Jiang Ding pays no attention to any of it.
He has always been seated in the Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace, contemplating the Dao before the immortal body of the Six Paths Reincarnation True Immortal, combining various data from the Dao Court Industry to repeatedly correct his experiential formula for the Daoist cosmic constants, gradually compressing this cumbersome experiential formula, letting it approach the simple and beautiful great Dao formula.
His progress is visible to the naked eye; he is still far from reaching any bottleneck.
Clearly, tens of thousands of years ago, Jiang Ding could barely push the experiential formula《Extinguishing Dharma Solar Immortal Scripture》to a hundred characters, the minimum threshold for becoming an emperor.
But now, this scripture has actually been compressed again!
In just tens of thousands of years, it went from a hundred characters down to eighty-five, the progress bar suddenly jumping forward a segment!
At the level of top powerhouses in the Boundless Starry Sky, to still advance by a large segment within tens of thousands of years is extremely shocking.
No wonder, in the mouth of the Myriad Laws True Immortal, calling this sentient being 'adept at comprehending the Dao' is truly somewhat overly overpowered.
He completely lacks the 'sacred sword combat path dependence' commonly found among other sword cultivators and even other sword immortals.
Sword cultivators, having come all the way through sacred sword combat, if later enemies decrease and they lack sacred sword combat, the Dao will progress slowly, even trending toward stagnation.
This is a common chronic ailment among many sword cultivators, more or less.
This is why the stronger the sword cultivator, the more distorted and mad they become.
Human sword cultivators rose because of sacred sword combat, and ultimately also perished because of it; sword cultivators prosper through this, and must perish through this.
This heaven and earth, this yin and yang, are truly too rigid, so rigid as to make people unable to help but shed tears.
Almost all good things, on their other side, are bad; like love, today gaining sweet, heartfelt beauty, one day will surely gain infinite pain and sorrow.
Conservation of matter, conservation of energy, heaven and earth have yin and yang, the moon has waxing and waning...
From ancient times to now, from the barbaric era to modern times, nearly all thinkers and scientists have unconsciously proposed a similar shared viewpoint, whether it be emotion or national survival or wealth, all things, upon gaining, are destined to be lost.
Nothing is eternal!
What they collectively felt.
But now, this sentient being in the Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace shows no trace of 'sacred sword combat path dependence' on him; even if he were the only True Immortal in the Boundless Starry Sky, he could calmly drive Daoist development, standing at a height people cannot look up to.
He is more of a Dao cultivator True Immortal than the Dao cultivator True Immortals.
In an instant, Jiang Ding's aura suddenly rose by a large segment, his pressure suppressing the three thousand great Dao in the star field, nearly triggering thousands of star fields to enter the Dharma-ending age.
He slowly opened his black-and-white distinct eyes.
"The Six Paths Reincarnation Original Ancient Canon has been largely digested."
"Many of the Daoist understandings within have given me much inspiration."
"From the perspective of Six Paths Reincarnation, the Boundless Starry Sky holds much knowledge I do not know."
Jiang Ding sighed once, his voice carrying a sense of satisfaction.
This is why he so needs the Myriad Laws True Immortal and others; different Dao have different landscapes, and these landscapes serve as important supplements to the Supreme Great Sun Daoist system.
One cannot even imagine, if born in the golden age, to see over a hundred, even hundreds of True Immortals born together as sword cultivators, what kind of wonderful happiness that would be?
Alas.
Such happiness is destined not to belong to the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortals.
The loneliness in Jiang Ding's eyes flashed and vanished.
Creak.
Creak creak.
From outside the palace came several footsteps.
"Young Master,"
"Senior Distant, Cheng Zhen, Lu, and thirty-seven other Yu Yu Yu Xianmen Xiu Shi have come to pay respects, they are escorting something."
Gong Caiyu announced.
If it were only Distant coming alone, no report would be needed, this Senior Distant is different, but the other Yu Yu Yu Xianmen Xiu Shi do not have such deep feelings.
"I will go receive them."
Jiang Ding slightly nodded, walked out of the palace.
"Ah?"
Gong Caiyu and the Fu Sang Emperor and Empress were greatly surprised.
One knows, even if Senior Distant, this Majesty's teacher, came, he did not go out to receive him; now he is doing so solemnly, which is puzzling.
Though puzzled, the two women and a large group of maidservants tightly followed behind him, lining up to receive.
When Distant and company arrived at the gate of the Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace, they saw this scene: a youth in blue robes surrounded by a large group of female cultivators, waiting at the gate for who knows how long.
"What's going on?"
"What kind of name is this?"
Distant was somewhat bewildered.
He has come here who knows how many times, and has also brought many Yu Yu Yu Xianmen Xiu Shi here before, but each time he simply entered, walked to the deep palace to find someone; when has there ever been such solemnity?
What has happened?
Cheng Zhen, Lu, and a large group of Yu Yu Yu Xianmen sect heavenly pride also could not make heads or tails of it.
As heavenly pride of the Yu Yu Yu Xianmen sect, they have nearly all come here before, to ask the old seniors for guidance, to seek scriptures.
In fact, they are not unfamiliar with the Great Sun seniors; in the Yu Yu Yu Xianmen Clear Wind Academy, the sword immortal's avatar has always existed, always teaching and nurturing, providing the best education for the sect's descendants.
Over these years, the Yu Yu Yu Xianmen sect has produced outstanding talents, the Eight Tribulations Supreme and quasi-emperors have emerged one after another; besides extremely abundant resources, besides the population foundation of millions of life-bearing planets, it is precisely this strongest Daoist education in the Boundless Starry Sky.
"Could it be that they are escorting this Yu Yu Yu Xianmen sect immortal library treasure?"
"Indeed, the origin of this treasure is great..."
A Yu Yu Yu Xianmen sect quasi-emperor of only over a million years old speculated thus.
"No."
Three sounds appeared almost simultaneously.
Many Yu Yu Yu Xianmen Xiu Shi looked toward the three who spoke at the same time.
The three who spoke at the same time were Yuan, Lu, and Cheng Zhen—these three were currently the strongest and most outstanding cultivators of Yu Yu Yu Xianmen, and they had reached a consensus.
Yuan and the others exchanged glances, all thinking, and finally Cheng Zhen spoke: "It is Lu's arrival."
"Lu?"
"No, I remember Lu has come here many times before?"
Many Yu Yu Yu Xianmen Xiu Shi expressed doubt.
In Yu Yu Yu Xianmen, the higher the position, the more politics must be observed, especially regarding Lu.
When Lu did not hold the position of Yu Yu Yu Xianmen's chief administrator, many called him senior, quasi-emperor, professor, and similar titles, but once Lu became chief administrator, he should be addressed as "Lu."
Even a mortal or a Qi-refining cultivator should address him thus—this is the most fundamental political logic of Yu Yu Yu Xianmen.
"But this time is different."
"Lu is coming here for the first time in his capacity as Yu Yu Yu Xianmen's chief administrator."
"At the same time, this is also the first time in history that a Yu Yu Yu Xianmen chief administrator has come to the Tai Shang Da Ri Tiangong; past Yu Yu Yu Xianmen chief administrators have always remained in the central command or battlefield core, never coming here..."
Cheng Zhen explained.
Yu Yu Yu Xianmen chief administrator!
Now I understand.
Many Yu Yu Yu Xianmen Xiu Shi suddenly understood.
Regarding the demeanor of the Tai Shang Da Ri Jian Xianzi, they faintly grasped something, and a warm current rose in their hearts.
That person should be a citizen.
Otherwise, why would they show such respect for the identity of Yu Yu Yu Xianmen chief administrator?
They had no doubt that even if it were an ordinary person or a Soul Transformation cultivator serving as chief administrator, the Tai Shang Da Ri Jian Xianzi would still be so respectful—this has nothing to do with realm and strength.
