Chapter 2447: Reasonable and Boring

Jiang Ding silently watched the nineteenth-generation Dayang Sword Son, waiting for his decision.

In the tradition of the Dayang Sword Pavilion, the Sword Son and the Sword Lord are two independent entities, neither subordinate to the other, with no such natural relationship.

The Sword Son obeys the Sword Lord because of the Sword Lord's power, not because of the orthodoxy.

What decision will this Dayang Sword Son make?

Of course, this is not important to the Ancient Emperor.

No one is indispensable; even if this generation's Dayang Sword Son dies, in the next ten million years, a new Dayang Sword Son will still be born in the Dayang Heavenly Pool.

"Sword Son"

Yue wanted to speak but stopped.

Just as many years ago when she conversed with the Ancient Emperor, but ultimately said nothing, allowing the Dayang Sword Son to make his own decision.

The Mie Tian Sword Son remained silent for a long time.

"Sword Lord."

The Mie Tian Sword Son, facing the direction of the Celestial Pivot, slightly bowed in salute.

He knew he must obey the laws of the Celestial Dynasty and the will of the Dayang Sword Lord, otherwise he would have to die, for the Dayang Sword Lord would not protect him.

This is the price of provoking the strong.

"Although reasonable."

"But boring."

Jiang Ding withdrew his gaze, his eyes once again hollow and empty, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Indeed,"

"The Dayang Sword Immortal is deficient and cannot be considered a true Sword Immortal; his natural lifespan is only fifteen million years, even less, and his Dayang Primordial Ancient Canon is extremely deficient."

Jiang Ding thought silently.

The Dayang Sword Immortal possesses the Primordial Ancient Canon, titled《Mie Tian Dayang Xian Jian Jing》, and he seems to have similarly re-cultivated the Dayang Sword Canon, not better, but more suitable for him, with a length of around ten to twenty thousand characters, merely extremely deficient and lacking innovation.

This is fatal for a True Sword Immortal.

A True Sword Immortal must open the Way, must have a path uniquely his own, and in the future, this uniquely his own path will coalesce into his own Great Dao, which is the beginning of becoming an immortal.

And the fate of the Dayang Sword Immortal is cruel.

When he wishes to open the Way, he gazes back at the Boundless Starry Sky, back at the《Dayang Xian Jian Jing》, only to suddenly discover that everywhere bears the traces of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, almost every direction, every path already explored by Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, who left his will behind.

Innovation?

This is innovating and opening the Way within the shadow and wings of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang!

How could this be easy!

This is the cruel reality faced jointly by the offspring and inheritors of every great unifying hegemon: the forefathers have already traversed every path, no matter how remote the corner, there are traces of the forefathers, their glory; when you painstakingly find a corner that seems never to have been trodden, you merely discover your own naivety.

The offspring and inheritors of the great unifying hegemon are destined to be weak.

The path of cultivation for this generation's Dayang Sword Immortal is destined to be arduous and empty.

Perhaps henceforth, the fate of each generation's Dayang Sword Son will be thus, unable to escape the shadow of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang; they will be strong, very strong, stronger than many True Sword Immortals, yet not true True Sword Immortals, merely possessing combat power while all other aspects are deficient.

"However, he possesses the ability to further maintain the Tai Shang Da Ri Primordial Ancient Canon."

"If he wishes—he should be able to prolong the glory of the Tai Shang Da Xiang Celestial Dynasty for another hundred million years; the Tai Shang Da Ri Primordial Ancient Canon can only be eternally preserved by me from falling, others can only delay it; of course, this is the celestial Dao scientific limit lifespan, hehe, theoretical limit lifespan."

Jiang Ding smiled.

Celestial Dynasty Dao theory lifespan limit?

Hehe, when has there ever been a Dayang Sword Son who does not cause trouble?

This is impossible.

AIMIN

"Sword Son, do not provoke the Dayang Sword Lord."

"Even if I burn everything, I cannot escape beneath the Dayang Sword Lord's sword; you will die."

Yue gently advised: "Your glory, in the future, after the Dayang Sword Lord falls into eternal rest, now you need further endurance, no matter the reason, you must endure."

"To explore your Mie Tian path, you need many people and heavenly treasures."

"In the post-Tai Shang Da Ri era, you may consider winning over the holy lands of various immortal sects, the Tushan maidens' corps, and the most likely loyal Tai Shang Da Ri sword cultivators, gathering their strength; perhaps you can shake the order of the Post-Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Garden Committee and form an order uniquely yours—"

Yue was devising strategies, offering suggestions.

Even if the Ancient Emperor departs, the order he left behind remains terrifying.

The Tushan maidens' corps, the Tai Shang Da Ri Sword Dao soldiers, the seven great super-tier elite Dao soldiers—these are all forbidden-zone Ancient Emperor-level Dao soldiers, effective on the forbidden-zone Ancient Emperor battlefield, not something a deficient True Sword Immortal can shake.

The power of the Dayang True Sword Immortal far exceeds that of any cultivator in the post-Ancient Emperor era, yet facing the order left behind by the forbidden-zone Ancient Emperor, he still needs to lie low.

However, compared to the era when the forbidden-zone Ancient Emperor was alive, the difficulty has greatly decreased, allowing one to win over and divide many Celestial Dynasty cultivators, causing internal explosions.

"What about the Immortal Gate?"

The Mie Tian Sword Son suddenly asked.

The Immortal Gate, in the Boundless Starry Sky, possesses the deepest foundation of immortal Dao scientific research, and in immortal Dao research and development assistance, it has extremely strong auxiliary effects, worthy of being called one of the ladders to becoming an immortal.

Moreover, the Immortal Gate occupies many key positions in the army and the Celestial Dynasty bureaucracy, with potential influence unfathomably deep.

"Sword Son."

"The Dongji Magic Gate will not pledge allegiance to you."

Yue pointed out the fact.

"Why? Because this is the sect that gave birth to the Ancient Emperor?"

The Mie Tian Sword Lord inquired.

"Not so."

"The Dongji Magic Gate is extremely exclusive, not citizens; they will not accept any cultivator as core, even naturalized cultivators are thus, unable to hold administrative positions."

Yue explained.

"Furthermore, you must not underestimate this sect."

"In the past, the Great Sun Sword Pavilion was destroyed by this sect joining forces with other powers. In the later era of the Supreme Great Sun, the ten deep-space fleets under its command will surely rise and crush you in your infancy. Such a thing will certainly happen, and no one will naturally be loyal to you."

"Not only the Eastern Extreme Demon Gate."

"The holy lands of the myriad immortal sects, the bureaucrats of the myriad Dao courts—they will not naturally follow you either. If given the chance, they will seek ways to kill you. Besides the Ancient Emperor, no one wishes to have another ruler above them."

"Over the next three million years, you must secure the cooperation of numerous powers, at least a friendly attitude, so they believe your existence brings them far greater benefit than harm."

"Otherwise, once the Ancient Emperor departs, the target of the pursuit by the ancient forbidden zone's Ancient Emperor-level supreme elite Dao soldiers may perhaps be——"

Yue solemnly warned, describing a terrifying reality.

These immortal dynasties, immortal sects' holy lands, families, and immortal dynasty bureaucrats have been overly honest under the Ancient Emperor for too long—loyal, capable, without ambition, enduring hardship without complaint, wholeheartedly serving the state selflessly for far too long, to the point that people almost forget their greed and sharpness, overlooking the extreme danger these people pose.

"Is that so?"
