Chapter 2452: In the Post-Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang Era, Immortal Sects Seize the Purple Star Heavenly Pivot

Dayang Tianchi.

This imperial Dao treasure, the Dayang Tianchi, had already left the Slaying Heaven Sword Master at the moment the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang fell into slumber, its destination unknown, hidden somewhere.

Because at the moment the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang departed, the Slaying Heaven Sword Master became the nineteenth-generation Dayang Sword Master.

The Dayang Tianchi is loyal to the Dayang Sword Master, not the Dayang Sword Lord, and has never participated in the Dayang Sword Lord's battles since ancient times; even now, after the vicissitudes of time, nothing has changed.

However, when news arrived that the nineteenth-generation Dayang Sword Master had suffered defeat and been captured in humiliation, the Dayang Tianchi trembled greatly; Yue stood upright in the void, speechless and choked, her small face flushed crimson.

"Indeed!"

"Indeed! Indeed———a disgrace to the way of the sword and civilization!"

Yue's face flushed red, she choked back tears for a long while, uttering a few words, her hands trembling.

Since ancient times, defeated and fallen Dayang Sword Masters have been numerous; the Dayang Sword Pavilion has never shied away from defeat— the weak should die, and a weak Dayang Sword Master should calmly and joyfully welcome his own death; this is right and proper, nothing unacceptable about it.

But!

Captured!

The Dayang Sword Master captured!

How could these words be combined like this? What does this six-character phrase mean when read together? How could such a sentence exist in this world?

Ghosts!

Yue's body trembled, her eyes widened, unable to believe the news she saw.

"This is, a failure."

"Such a cultivation method is itself a failure; record it."

After a long while, Yue barely composed herself, took out paper and brush, and said resentfully: "Even if the immortal dynasty engages in endless slaughter, holy sword duels, millions of years of cultivation, and battlefield intensity far surpassing any era, it still cannot compare to a true battlefield!"

"Placed like caged beasts in a beast-fighting arena, where victory decides the victor— such beasts may indeed be fierce, cruel, and ruthless, but they are not true sword cultivators."

"Such sword cultivators are merely beasts!"

"True sword cultivators must be born in real battlefields, amid genuine war and victory; the Dayang Sword Masters born like beasts in beast-fighting arenas are a failure."

"Such a failure will not continue."

Yue summarized the lessons and experiences of this generation's Dayang Sword Pavilion's failure.

She cared nothing for the immortal dynasty's situation, paid no heed to the Dayang Sword Masters' qi deviation and inability to endure, nor to the immortal dynasty's cultivators refusing to submit— all these are excuses!

Shameful excuses!

In the past, which generation of Dayang Sword Master did not rise through hardship and struggle, through slaughter? Which generation had it easy?

The Dayang Sword Master may fail, may die— this is the glory of the sword cultivator; since the Dayang Sword Master has stepped onto the sword path, dying one day is right and proper; blaming heaven and others is not the way of a sword cultivator gentleman; accepting defeat willingly is the way of the sword cultivator.

But this is truly not the reason for your capture!

From the first-generation Dayang Sword Master onward, generation after generation has slaughtered in the Wu Jin Kong Kong; never before have they suffered such humiliation; the entire lineage is disgraced!

"Only in true war will true Dayang Sword Masters be born."

"The next-generation Dayang Sword Master will be born six million years from now; if the starry void remains undisturbed, we will continue delaying, until the next ten million years, or even longer—"

Yue murmured to herself.

The growth of the Dayang Sword Master requires endless war; this means the Dayang Sword Master cannot be born in a generally peaceful, stable order; a young Dayang Sword Master cannot oppose the vast momentum of the Wu Jin Kong Kong, not even the youthful Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang could do so.

Chaotic eras provide the soil for the Dayang Sword Master's birth and growth.

"How long until such a chaotic era arrives?"

"After the nineteenth-generation Dayang Sword Master's shameful defeat, the Dongji Magic Gate will inevitably dominate alone; who has not heard of excess leading to decline? In the past, the Gu Huang suppressed the Dongji Magic Gate's internal fanatical populism, preventing its internal fanatical expansion; now that the Dongji Magic Gate dominates alone, who can suppress their citizens' internal fanaticism?"

"No one!"

"No one!"

Yue reasoned coldly and rationally.

The Dayang Sword Pavilion has never ceased its research on the Dongji Magic Gate; this is also a very common idea among the major powers of the Wu Jin Kong Kong.

All powers are waiting.

Immortal Sects seize the Purple Star Heavenly Pivot!

This is the endless starry void's hub, reconstructed after the Tai Shang Da Ri Tianzhu departed, by which the endless starry void's hundreds of thousands of star domains, countless worlds, countless cultivators and populations are controlled.

Of the Immortal Sects' ten great deep-space fleets, eight are stationed here, while also greatly conceding to lure and win over the Tushan Maiden Corps, the Tai Shang Da Ri Sword Dao Soldiers,

the seven great super-tier elite Dao Soldiers, sharing the Immortal Dynasty's rule, beginning to reduce the Immortal Dynasty's overall welfare expenditures across the board like boiling frogs in warm water, pooling vast benefits into the Purple Star Star Domain.

The benefit structure of the post-Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang era is being reshaped and consolidated.

In just a few hundred thousand years, the situation of the Wu Jin Kong Kong has completely changed; in fact, the Wu Jin Kong Kong has formed a situation where the Immortal Sects are the Immortal Dynasty's royal clan, and numerous super-tier elite Dao Soldiers share governance.

When this situation is fully stabilized, the Immortal Sects, from top to bottom, celebrate universally, with gongs and drums resounding to the heavens.

"Cheers!"

"Hahaha! Ten thousand victories———"

"The Wu Jin Kong Kong, with the Immortal Sects as masters— this is our original historical status, now merely returning to the right path——— thank the Gu Huang, thank the rulers———"

The Immortal Sects everywhere held grand celebratory banquets; everyone ran about shouting, venting their inner ecstasy.

Why are the citizens so excited and frenzied, even surpassing their excitement during the Gu Huang's lifetime?

Naturally, because of the immense benefits that leave people breathless!

On this day, almost all citizens received benefits, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which instantly expanded by at least tenfold!

All citizens' properties instantly expanded by more than tenfold!

More than tenfold!

Who wouldn't be dazed by such a change?

If we speak of output in the current Wu Jin Kong Kong, it is naturally at least half less than during the Gu Huang's lifetime, for the Gu Huang often personally participated in production, tilling the fields; the productivity of a forbidden-zone Gu Huang is unimaginable now; in sheer quantity, it falls far short of the past.

But the distribution method has completely changed.

In the past, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang always had various matters to attend to; throughout his reign, he continuously researched immortal scriptures, developed various cultivation techniques and scientific technologies, and carried out various cosmic marvel engineering projects. No matter how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures the immortal dynasty produced, they could always be completely consumed. The treatment of immortal sect cultivators was also considered generous, but in reality, what they received could only be counted as labor income, i. e., wages—this was the compensation received by the immortal sect for participating in the various operations of the immortal dynasty.

But now, the immortal sect directly obtains tax revenue from the immortal dynasty!

The vast and terrifying heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the Wu Jin Kong Kong gather from all directions; at least fifty percent goes to the immortal sect, the remaining forty percent goes to various super-tier elite Dao soldiers, and the last ten percent is used for welfare expenditures for cultivators throughout the immortal dynasty. Instantly, the immortal sect citizens became a rentier class, their standard of living far surpassing that of the ancient emperor era.
