Chapter 2793: The Limits of the Tai Qing Immortal Sword and the Limits of Mortal Life in Shen Zhou

Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Tai Shang Da Ri Tian Shu.

The sun and universe of the degenerate age gradually faded, countless brilliance vanished, and the figure of a blue-clad youth gradually emerged in place, holding a blue-black long sword in his hand, with half of a transcendental-grade creation immortal material left unused beside him.

"It has actually reached the limit..."

Jiang Ding was slightly startled, dazed.

The Tai Qing Immortal Sword has already reached the limit below immortals; even possessing transcendental-grade creation from the innate god-demon era, it cannot absorb any further.

This is the first time such a situation has occurred.

In the past, sword cultivators' swords were always dissatisfied with scarce resources, scarce immortal materials, like a glutton never satisfied; sword cultivators remained poor, yet now they have actually reached the limit of absorption.

"Such is the sword, such is the person..."

"This sovereign has already reached the limit."

Jiang Ding gently stroked the hilt of the Tai Qing Immortal Sword, speaking with a touch of self-reproach and self-pity.

It was not only discovered at the hundred-thousand-year mark that the limit had been reached; as early as the thirty-thousand-year mark, he had already found that the immortal sword could no longer advance, and the remaining time was spent trying various methods, changing sacrificial refining禁制 methods, changing material ratios, adding the waters of the River of Time... all methods failed.

Even Jiang Ding considered further enhancing his immortal body, raising his earth-immortal-level immortal body to match the defective immortal body of the Heavenly Emperor; he, who had never cultivated body refinement, even wanted to take this path, attempting it in this regard.

But all attempts failed.

Limit.

The ultimate perfection below immortals.

This judgment was made many years ago and has never been surpassed in the slightest to this day.

"Defective immortal sword,"

"Defective immortal body,"

"Defective true immortal soul,"

Jiang Ding murmured: "These three, mortals can only have one, and can have no more, for mortals are ultimately mortals, and the limit is thus; the essence of life is only this broad, unable to hold too much, this is the fate of mortals."

"Truly, the limit has been reached."

"The limit..."

"This is quite good."

"Kill the Heavenly Emperor, lord of the Sixth Golden Great Age, kill the lord of the Ninth Golden Great Age, quell all turmoil in the River of Time, remove all transdimensional factors from the River of Time, tidy up the River of Time completely... then, let us begin to become immortals."

Jiang Ding rose with an indifferent expression, gazing into the distance.

At the pinnacle of the starry sky, the expedition fleet of the Seventh Golden Great Age's time dimension once again gathered, among which were seven earth-immortal-level ancient emperors lacking sufficient matter, energy, and rules, ancient emperors of the Three-Character Immortal Scripture who had transcended the three characters but could not be called true earth-immortals, merely quasi-earth-immortals.

Among them were fifty-six ancient emperors of the Three-Character Immortal Scripture level who had been mass-promoted through heavenly official ennoblement and earth-immortal crown creation, numerous ancient emperors and feathered-immortal realm cultivators, over one hundred million approaching two hundred million feathered-immortal realm cultivators, improved warships, and the strongest army of cultivators in the history of the immortal道!

This army should be capable of sweeping through the River of Time across all ages invincibly, simply by virtue of the number of strong individuals.

"Sword Lord!"

One after another, ancient emperors and feathered-immortal realm cultivators bowed and said.

"Let us embark on the expedition."

"This sovereign has already reached the limit and will no longer participate in the distribution of material spoils; all creation in the River of Time shall belong to all fellow Daoists."

Jiang Ding said lightly.

Swish!

Address: \\\\\\\\\\\\. \\\\\\

In an instant, the eyes of all Three-Character Immortal Scripture ancient emperors and quasi-earth-immortal-level ancient emperors brightened.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang no longer participates in the distribution of material spoils!

What does this mean?

It means that all such prior innate god-demon creation, Jade Emperor creation, etc., now belong entirely to everyone, this being material from beyond the Seventh Golden Great Age, not controlled by Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang by innate nature, and of extremely high quality, usable to fill the vast material gap between quasi-earth-immortals and earth-immortals.

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor and others paid even closer attention to a word in Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's words, their hearts suddenly trembling.

Limit!

The limit has been reached, the limit!

Even beings like Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang have ultimately reached the limit below true immortals; he will no longer continue to widen the distance between himself and them, and although the distance remains great, it is now gradually shortening.

Holy Sword Duel, can you see the opportunity?

One after another, sword cultivators gripped their sword hilts, their hearts surging.

"Yes!"

Amidst the surging emotions, all the heavenly pride of the Seventh Golden Great Age paid respects.

Under the guidance of the earth-immortal's immortal sword, cleaving the River of Time, the expedition fleet flew into the river, heading upstream against the current toward the Sixth Golden Great Age.

The Sixth Golden Great Age.

This is an age where the Emperor Realm attains the Dao through law; the heavenly court stands atop the nine heavens, the myriad races of Shen Zhou flourish, the human race thrives, with little malice.

This age has flourished for a very long time, having conquered one golden great age after another.

The people of this age spend their days listening to one piece of victory news after another, many youths bringing back many new ideas.

Everyone firmly believes that the Heavenly Emperor Your Majesty will surely become an immortal.

However, the shadow from the previous war still shrouds the entire heavenly court, causing many heavenly court cultivators to feel a faint unease in their hearts, yet everyone remains full of confidence.

"He has come."

"Finally, after suffering a wait of over a million years, I even thought he would not come again..."

The Heavenly Emperor laughed heartily, looking left and right.

Besides enjoying cursing people during battles to attract hatred, this Heavenly Emperor is usually very easygoing, having genuinely befriended many subordinates, becoming confidants; compared to the cold, impersonal superior-subordinate relationship with Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, there is much more warmth.

Usually speaking, such warmth, ease, and friendship between superiors and subordinates would affect the organizational system's efficiency; this is not the interaction among three or five close friends, but an organizational system formed by countless billions of sentient beings, and only strict rewards and punishments and tight order can make a vast organization run; personal warmth, if not controlled in such a massive organization, would instead cause great destruction.

However, the Heavenly Emperor reversed this pattern with his immense power, allowing warmth to coexist with order and efficiency, forming an organizational principle.

"Haohuang, don't be careless."

"This Tai Shang Da Ri Your Majesty should be stronger than us……well, a bit."

Hei Yan Zhun Di spoke in a deep voice.

This is a Ninth Heaven Zhun Di cultivator, the strongest sentient being under the Heavenly Emperor in the Sixth Golden Great Age system; during the last slaughter between the two Golden Great Ages, he was recognized by the Seventh Golden Great Age as a Three-Character Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperor and is very powerful, not inferior to those of the same rank as the Three-Character Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperor.

Around him are more than a dozen Ninth Heaven Zhun Di cultivators who also participated in the last expedition and returned in defeat.

Everyone looks as if they still have lingering fears.

Indeed, we were somewhat reckless in the past.

The master of the Seventh Golden Great Age, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, is an existence stronger than the Heavenly Emperor, yet they actually charged headfirst into Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's lair; being able to flee back to the Sixth Golden Great Age is already considered fortunate for us.
