Chapter 2287

Tai Shang Da Ri Tiangong.

Jiang Ding merged with the Great Dao of Annihilation of Dharma, silently gazing upon the Three Thousand Great Dao of the Infinite Starry Sky.

From his perspective, the Heavenly Dao turned, the ages changed, the movements of countless star fields lay before his eyes, one strand of law after another, one river of time after another intertwined, entwined, and faintly formed within the Three Thousand Great Dao a hazy, terrifying entity.

That was a crown!

That was the imperial mark of this era!

This crown differed utterly from the Yin-Yang Coronet that the myriad-law true immortal of old had tried to condense; its entire body emitted an aura of annihilation and dharma-extinction, a gilded twilight hue, with nine strands of pendant beads hanging down, faintly veiling the visage, faintly representing the Nine Great Sword Immortal Arts of Tai Shang Da Ri.

This Dao coronet seemed far, seemed near, as if a light reach of the hand could grasp it.

Thus, he was crowned as the emperor of this era!

"Not urgent."

"Not urgent, not urgent......"

"Still lacking a little."

Jiang Ding Zi murmured.

From this moment on, he clearly knew what the imperial mark was.

This was the imprint of the human emperor upon the Great Dao; henceforth, time flowed past the human emperor's side, and time too had to bow its head, become slow, letting the human emperor's lifespan vastly exceed that of any living being in the Infinite Starry Sky.

This was the culmination of countless billions of years, the pinnacle achievement of immortal-dao science and technology, without equal, the final immortal-dao creation at the summit.

This was the ultimate one formed from law, matter, the Great Dao, and energy.

Every human emperor's Dao coronet must obtain some non-renewable substance from the Infinite Starry Sky; each human emperor requires a different non-renewable immortal-dao substance.

This is why the descendants of human emperors find it hard to become emperors, the difficulty often vastly exceeding that of their forebears.

Because the forefather human emperors have already taken the non-renewable immortal-dao substances needed by this bloodline and this path; the forefather human emperors did not die completely, and were furthermore digested again by the Heavenly Dao of the Infinite Starry Sky, making such non-renewable substance impossible to reappear, thus the descendants of human emperors cannot become emperors.

Unless the descendants of human emperors display talent and brilliance far surpassing those of their forefather human emperors.

Likewise, the condensation of the imperial mark is a summarizing of the human emperor's own path; when the way is accomplished, there is no regret, no possibility of change.

In the future, any alteration to the human emperor's immortal scriptures must be based upon the foundation of the imperial mark.

"Not urgent ah."

"I truly hope that my lord's dreams may all finally come true......"

Jiang Ding gazed toward the Tai Yang Xi where the immortal sect resided, his eyes unknowingly revealing a hint of warmth.

This hint of warmth instantly caused Fu Sang Di Hou and Gong Caiyu to shudder in their hearts, startled beyond measure, doubting whether they had seen wrong, or perhaps fallen into an illusion.

Outside the palace.

Fu Sang Di Hou and Gong Caiyu were somewhat furtive and sneaky.

The two had accompanied the Tai Shang Da Ri Sword Immortal Maiden for millions of years, never encountering such a sword immortal maiden before; their hearts fluttered, and they could not wait to seek the source of this hint of warmth.

The two used many methods to find afar, this person being the sole figure of the immortal sect sharing the same era as the Tai Shang Da Ri Sword Immortal Maiden, and they respectfully and flatteringly sought advice.

Finally, the answer they received invigorated both of them.

"Younger sister, and mother are still here!"

"When Your Majesty becomes emperor, the younger sister and mother who have slumbered for millions of years will awaken!"

Fu Sang Di Hou spoke with some fervor.

From the beginning, she had seen only the fully manifested Tai Shang Da Ri Sword Immortal Maiden—rational, calm, transcending emotion, almost nothing besides the Great Dao, as if she had never entered his heart.

But now, a great opportunity has appeared!

The surface peace within the Infinite Starry Sky merely maintained for two hundred thousand years.

After two hundred thousand years, a hundred million Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Ting sword cultivators emerged again on campaign; this army's strength showed no weakening, but rather displayed a tremendous enhancement!

Failure to utterly exterminate a sword cultivator force, instead letting them survive from organized bloodbaths, is a mistake!

Moreover, during these two hundred thousand years, the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Ting immortal-dao science and technology continually advanced; various sword-forging materials, swordsmanship technology, cultivation-method technology, and all aspects broke through, these immortal-dao technological advances further enhancing the strength of these top-tier sword-dao heavenly prodigies.

The two factors superimposed brought forth a completely new sword cultivator unit.

The Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Ting sword cultivators each fought individually, once again killing into the myriad clans' heavenly court domain!

The myriad clans' heavenly court three-realm immortal-dao system had likewise shown tremendous progress these years, yet facing the slaughter of these destruction sword cultivators still suffered tremendous destruction, one formation foundation after another crumbling.

Shen Zhou and the netherworld successively shattered.

The myriad clans' heavenly court was again besieged by hordes of destruction sword cultivators; in the end, the heavenly court was broken more than half, and the supreme divine army from the Western Weaving Heaven Divine Court came slaughtering once again, but this time could not again form a surprise effect, merely engaging in frenzied slaughter with the human sword cultivators, representing the army of the true god's son essence clashing in mortal combat with the sword cultivators.

Another hundred thousand years of war, another hundred thousand years of slaughter!

In the end, heaven collapsed and earth split, mountains and rivers shattered, heavenly court halls fell in sheets.

The supreme divine army from the Weaving Heaven Divine Court suffered heavy casualties; who knows how many years of accumulated fervent believers died or were wounded more than half, the netherworld great army and the heavenly court heavenly army nearly utterly annihilated.

At such a grievous cost, the myriad clans' heavenly court once again repelled the human sword cultivators.

This time, thirty million human sword cultivators survived.

This time, the retreating human sword cultivators withdrew leisurely, with not a single heavenly court cultivator daring to pursue them, only able to hold fast within the broken heavenly court grand formation to tend their wounds.

This time, the Great Sun Yang Mang quasi-emperor, Seven Slaughter quasi-emperor, Burial Heaven quasi-emperor, Great Sun Bright Light quasi-emperor, and a group of sword cultivators came to Tai Shang Da Ri Tiangong to pay respects to the Tai Shang Sword Immortal Maiden.

"Sword Lord!"

The most outstanding Infinite Starry Sword Dao peerless heavenly prodigy of this era knelt on one knee before the sword immortal maiden, voice ringing and powerful.

"What is it?"

Jiang Ding opened his eyes, speaking lightly.

"Sword Lord,"

"After two hundred thousand years, we shall ascend to the Nine Tribulations Supreme; then we shall exterminate the myriad clans' heavenly court."

"At that time, please observe the ceremony."

These peerless sword Dao prodigies bowed deeply, carrying killing intent and longing.

"Good."

Jiang Ding showed a hint of a smile.

He looked toward the distant myriad clans' celestial court, as if seeing three hazy figures, and a sense of regret arose in his heart.

The departed flow on like this!

No matter how long a Dao companion has been by one's side, no matter how important a Dao partner is, they ultimately reach the limit of their potential and finally arrive at the crossroads of parting.

This companionship spanning nearly three million years will meet its answer.

Boom—

The Dao of Annihilation descended like a sunset corona from the heavens, transforming into the Primordial Ancient Scripture of the Supreme Great Sun hanging between the stars, drifting and bursting forth with boundless radiance.

This is the Primordial Ancient Scripture of the Supreme Great Sun!

This is the complete understanding of the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden regarding the constants of the immortal Dao cosmos!

At this moment, this Primordial Ancient Scripture of the Supreme Great Sun became something more radiant than the sun, dragging flames as it thundered forward, flying toward the direction of the three realms of the celestial court, carrying the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden's entire immortal Dao insight, her three million years of immortal Dao comprehension.

"That is!"

The Myriad Laws True Immortal Maiden, the Six Paths of Reincarnation True Immortal Maiden, and the Weaver of Heaven's Daughter rose abruptly from the depths of the celestial court.

"This is, the Primordial Ancient Scripture of the Supreme Great Sun!"

"Bestowed upon, fellow Daoists."

Jiang Ding's vast and boundless voice echoed in Wu Jin Kong Kong, the Heavenly Dao neither rejoicing with things nor grieving for itself: "In two hundred thousand years, I shall discuss the Dao with fellow Daoists amidst the stars."

"Discuss, in this era, what is the crown of the great Dao of heaven and earth!"
