Chapter 2389: Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor and the Tai Shang Da Ri Ancient Emperor Who Dare Not Call Himself Sword Emperor

Jiang Ding felt somewhat downcast, silently sorting through the gains from this battle.

The gains were enormous!

In terms of treasures, he obtained the immortal body of the Qilin Ancient Emperor, which is the ultimate immortal body of the Path of Power, incomparably heavy, with the Dao naturally generating within it, resembling a black hole; whether used to forge magical artifacts or warships, it is an excellent material, and Jiang Ding is considering using it to forge a royal-grade, heirloom warship for the immortal sect.

Thus, even after his slumber, the immortal sect would still possess imperial foundations.

The immortal Dao civilization inheritance of the Qilin Immortal Dynasty is similarly so, relying on the Qilin's slumbering world, the Qilin immortal body, and a vast number of Qilin Immortal Dynasty Dao soldiers; he is fully confident in restoring all the immortal Dao inheritances of the Qilin Immortal Dynasty, absorbing them, and further enriching the foundations of the Tai Shang Da Ri immortal Dao.

These gains are still secondary.

The most important gain is still the 《Taiyang Xian Jing Can Pian》 from the Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor, the Sun Ancient Emperor!

This is indeed a scripture of Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor level!

Although it is a fragment, it still provides a general outline regarding the construction of immortal scriptures below the Ten-Thousand and the Forbidden Zone, truly astonishing immortal Dao wisdom, and moreover, it requires no cost—only the exchange of one's own Human Emperor Immortal Scripture is needed; as long as one is a Human Emperor, one is qualified to obtain it, and it is part of racial mutual assistance.

The Sun Ancient Emperor, the Holy King of the Human Race, the ancient gentleman—this is truly not just empty talk.

Jiang Ding's respect for Ji Yan Ancient Emperor, this defeated subordinate, is entirely justified.

"No,"

"

"Tai Shang Da Ri Dao friend, I can still live, have you misunderstood something?"

Ji Yan Ancient Emperor is very adept at reading expressions and moods, immediately putting on a playful, smiling face and saying.

"Ah?"

Jiang Ding was startled.

The slumbering Ancient Emperor cannot plunder enough foundations to slumber again—will he not soon exhaust his lifespan and die? You must know, Ji Yan Ancient Emperor has lived through two lifetimes, sixty million years, already reaching the limit.

As for living a third lifetime?

That is impossible.

This is not something an Ancient Emperor with exhausted foundations can achieve.

"Alas,"

"What else could there be? Nothing more than my Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor father, after all."

Ji Yan Ancient Emperor let out a long sigh, sorrowfully saying: "My father left behind a secret art; if I voluntarily relinquish the Sovereign's honored position, switch to cultivating the Emperor's Path, become an Emperor Realm cultivator, then I can go there to slumber."

"If I am fortunate enough to await the Golden Great Age, he might consider arranging a longevity opportunity for me."

"In short, a bad death is worse than a miserable life."

"Whether Ancient Emperor or Emperor Realm cultivator, I am fine with either—I am not picky."

Relinquish the Sovereign's honored position!

Jiang Ding's heart trembled slightly.

Merely thinking of this, a strong sense of discomfort arose in his heart; he would rather die than do this, for it represents completely abandoning the path to immortality, merely to live a little longer and continue to scrape by.

For an honored Sovereign, this is simply a destructive blow to self-esteem.

One could say, even for the Qilin Ancient Emperor, he could become a mount, endure humiliation and bear burdens, but absolutely cannot abandon the path to immortality—this would simply be killing him directly!

In the human world, it can be said that ninety-nine percent of Sovereigns would rather die than do this.

Ji Yan Ancient Emperor being like this is truly————special.

"Senior, do you need help?

"

Jiang Ding remained silent for a long time, then asked.

"Yes,"

"I need some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, need to arrange some rituals, need vast amounts of manpower and material resources, this point————" Ji Yan Ancient Emperor rubbed his hands like flies, fawning and obsequious: "Junior brother, can you lend me some money and wealth?"

"Why borrow?"

"Senior can just take it directly."

Jiang Ding smiled faintly, directly agreeing.

Wealth is merely external objects.

Being able to participate in this significant project of reducing the Sovereign's cultivation is itself a great gain, and it has enormous promotional effect on immortal Dao research.

"Junior brother, so generous!"

Ji Yan Ancient Emperor was overjoyed.

This person is truly an optimist—clearly just heartbroken to the point of wanting to die, now he has quickly adjusted, never indulging in self-consumption, always looking forward.

"This is just a small matter, we'll talk about it later."

"Senior,"

Jiang Ding smiled, lifted his head toward a direction, revealing a hint of ferocity, and said: "Senior, have you seen the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor?"

"Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor?"

"That old demon in the Forbidden Zone?"

Ji Yan Ancient Emperor's heart trembled, his body turned cold, and he hurriedly followed the gaze of the Tai Shang Da Ri Ancient Emperor toward a direction.

There, a weed grew in the chaos, appearing at some unknown time, born at some unknown moment, just floating there, not revealing a trace of causal aura outward.

This is truly terrifying to hear!

One must know, before the gaze looked over, Ji Yan Ancient Emperor completely did not know when a weed had appeared here, blind as if, utterly unimaginable.

Chaotic air currents shifted, the Dao rippled.

This weed was hazy and indistinct, and in the blink of an eye transformed into a handsome, demon-like youth; his white Dao robe was exceptionally unworldly and transcendent, a dark green sword in its scabbard hung casually at his waist, his entire body bore no trace of sharpness, yet inexplicably made people's hearts turn cold, their souls prick with pain.

"What the Qilin Dao friend said is not wrong."

"Among human sword cultivators, another outstanding talent has emerged."

This extraordinarily handsome youth praised: "Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Friend, your concealment technique is extraordinary and transcendent; I was detected the moment I appeared—truly—delightfully unexpected."

"Not as good as you."

"I have merely made a fool of myself before an expert, Nine Leaves Dao Friend."

Jiang Ding slightly shook his head: "What you have here is merely a tiny divine sense avatar; how could you not see through it? It is said your concealment sword art is unfathomable, having slaughtered from the human immortal dynasty era all the way to invincibility under heaven, not being suppressed and killed by superior human experts even in weakness—truly a tremendous feat."

Nine Leaves Sword Emperor, single-handedly slaughtering to extinction the peak of the human era, establishing dominance through the sword path.

"This time, Nine Leaves Dao Friend, are you unwilling to revive?"

Jiang Ding asked.

"Not the right time."

"Without the slaughter of a golden great age, there is little meaning."

Nine Leaves Sword Emperor smiled faintly.

He gave the same answer as the Sun Ancient Emperor, a certain consensus.

"Then, what is your purpose in appearing here?"

Jiang Ding asked calmly.

Unlike the human sovereigns, regarding Nine Leaves Sword Emperor, he did not intend to exchange many pleasantries, otherwise he feared he could not help but strike him down with a single sword.

"Merely to discuss the Dao."

"To witness the flourishing growth of human sword cultivators brings this sovereign great delight."

Nine Leaves Sword Emperor smiled and handed over a scripture: "This is my path, the《Grass Character Immortal Sword Classic》; did you once obtain a portion of it, Dao Friend?"

"This is the complete version."

"There is one point: Dao Friend must be cautious, for this contains some soul traps, deeply concealed."

Nine Leaves Sword Emperor spoke gently: "If one is not careful in time, Dao Friend, upon being affected by the Dao, might become one of my grass sword sons—then it would not be so beautiful."

"In this world, no matter how fine the grass sword son, it cannot compare to a sword path powerhouse."

This jade slip, woven from grass stems and leaves, slowly flew toward Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.

Grass Dayan Dayan Jianzi!

Soul Trap!

Ji Yan Gu Huang inhaled lightly, instinctively stepping back.

The Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor, Nine Leaves Sword Emperor's path is that of soul sword Dao, extremely strange; grass sword sons are like grass seeds sown across heaven and earth, taking root and sprouting in the sword cultivator's soul, first drawing upon the sword cultivator's sword Dao insights, then, when the sword cultivator's potential is exhausted, the grass seeds break through the soil, drawing upon the sword cultivator's soul, bones, blood, and natal flying sword to return to Nine Leaves Sword Emperor's flying sword.

The forging of that Nine Leaves Immortal Sword was crafted from the blood, bones, and sword Dao wisdom of countless human sword cultivators, possibly even including a human sword emperor!

This is the grass sword son.

Even among the ancient emperors, these three words cause faces to change at the mere mention.

"Thank you."

"Thank you, Nine Leaves Dao Friend!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ding's spirit lifted, and he joyfully said: "Dao Friend's generosity leaves nothing to repay."

"This complete《Extinction of Laws Sun Immortal Classic》contains no traps; it is the crystallization of this sovereign's lifelong sword Dao wisdom, now bestowed upon Dao Friend, hoping it may benefit your sword Dao."

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang handed over a jade slip of dusk, surrounded by the runes of the Extinction of Laws Great Dao.

"Good."

"Likewise, thank you, Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Friend."

Nine Leaves Sword Emperor received the scripture with both hands respectfully, his figure gradually fading away, having chosen not to revive in this era.
