Chapter 646: Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun Got Dragged Into the Station Again

Under the gaze of countless eyes,

the nine rounds of destructive great suns met the destructive light pillar of the ten-thousand-meter cannon on the horizon, exactly like the scene that had appeared countless times in the Battle of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion three thousand years ago.

Sizzle…

At the mere touch, the nine rounds of great suns, imbued with the true meaning of destruction and law-prohibition, crumbled and vanished like phantoms.

Even though they could slay a Nascent Soul,

it was still far from enough; the gap was simply too vast.

The destructive light pillar of the ten-thousand-meter cannon descended in an instant, razing an area of several dozen li.

After that sword strike,

Jiang Ding lost his remaining strength, staring fixedly ahead.

Hum!

Layer upon layer of dark-green rune-nets materialized before him, silently and invisibly disintegrating the ten-thousand-meter cannon's destructive beam — a beam powerful enough to grievously wound a Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun — and dispersing it into nothingness.

Jiang Ding's heart eased, his body barely able to maintain a standing posture.

"Alert!"

"Alert!"

"Citizen Li Ritian, ID number…59, unauthorized use of offensive magic arts within the Immortal Gate, attacking Immortal Gate citizens, circumstances malicious, meeting the criminal law sentencing standard, please remain in place and await law enforcement personnel…"

"Nearby citizens, conscripting nearby citizens, forming a grand array to obstruct, preventing escape and resistance to law enforcement…"

The voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer rang out as scheduled; around them, grand array runes suffused with strands of chaotic qi spread out, emanating a terrifying aura — even more dreadful than a Soul Transformation aura by far.

The array sealed off everything in the surroundings; one could even say that if a Void Refinement great power fell here unprepared, they would have to face the fate of death.

"Wait!"

Jiang Ding's expression shifted slightly; without caring about anything else, he said swiftly: "I issue a letter of forgiveness!"

The Central Array Spirit Computer was rigid and orderly!

At the slightest sign of trouble, it truly would strike the source of danger dead on the spot.

This was a newly born Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun of the Immortal Gate, and a powerful one at that, capable of greatly augmenting the Immortal Gate's foundation; if truly beaten to death, the Badaxian Sect would secretly rejoice.

Lacking this portion of strength,

who knew how many additional casualties would be added in future wars.

"I surrender!"

"Government, I plead guilty!"

Almost simultaneously, Li Ritian raised both hands and shouted: "I really didn't do it on purpose! He looks too much like Chong Chong Guang Zi! No — not just looks, he IS him, my combat instincts were completely uncontrollable!"

"I had taken precautions in advance,"

"but really, I couldn't control it!"

Strands of chaotic chains appeared on Li Ritian's body; without a word of explanation, they bound the unresisting him tightly, not even a single gap left exposed, like a wriggling rope-knot maggot.

"Release your divine soul,"

"having triggered the Immortal Gate Public Security Law, Citizen Li Ritian, the Immortal Gate Security Bureau now suspects you have been eroded by Xianzong divine-soul illusion magic arts; please submit to inspection."

The Central Array Spirit Computer paid no heed to his explanation, stating flatly without any emotional fluctuation.

By common sense,

this was an assassination — assassinating the Immortal Gate's Great Sun Sword Child — something the Badaxian Sect would be willing to pay a great price to accomplish.

"Understood."

Li Ritian did not hesitate, releasing his divine soul to undergo the inspection.

A long while.

Strands of dark-green runes flew out from Li Ritian's skull.

"No intentional harm or assassination intent detected."

"No traces of Badaxian Sect divine-soul illusion magic arts detected."

"Post-battle stress syndrome characteristics detected, further treatment required… victim issues letter of forgiveness… sentencing further reduced…"

The Central Array Spirit Computer's judgments appeared one by one, and finally it said: "First, manslaughter of an Immortal Gate citizen through negligence, sentenced to fifty years of fixed-term imprisonment.

Warning, Immortal Gate meritorious contributor Li Ritian, this is the last time; please overcome your instincts. Even those with post-battle stress syndrome cannot violate the law.

Neither age, identity, status, nor merit can affect the impartiality of the Immortal Gate's laws."

"Second, after passing your heavenly tribulation, you used voice-transmission magic arts to harass global citizens, causing inconvenience to citizens, sentenced to three months of fixed-term imprisonment."

"Citizen Li Ritian, do you accept the verdict?"

"If a review is needed, please apply for review at the Zuigaofa Academy within three days; during this period, you may not leave the Immortal Capital or the surveillance range of the Central Array Spirit Computer."

"Government, I accept, no objections."

Li Ritian said dejectedly, not particularly surprised — especially regarding the second charge, which he had long since calculated in his heart.

"Verdict takes effect."

"Please report to the Immortal Gate Prison to serve your sentence within one year."

The voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer rang out once more, then gradually faded away.

The same was true for the rune chains on Li Ritian's body — though they did not disappear, they concealed themselves; he was now under surveillance, with the vast majority of his magic power sealed to prevent further disturbances.

"Brother, my sincere apologies."

Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun — no, Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun's dejection did not last long; he quickly rallied again, came before Jiang Ding, patted his shoulder, and said very sincerely: "My hand slipped for a moment, please don't take offense."

"It's nothing."

"It's really nothing."

Jiang Ding drew in a deep breath, gradually awakening from the icy, rigid premonition of death: "Once I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I'll find another chance to beat you, Senior, black and blue — no need to be polite about it."

This life,

is the first time experiencing this feeling of death soaking through the body; not a shred of life remains, the gap between realms is far too great.

From this, one can know that back then, when the previous Great Sun Sword Disciple came alone to the Northern Plains without the protection of masters or elders, it must have been very difficult, experiencing many life-and-death dangers, companions dying, especially since his concealment technique was not very good.

"Ah, this..."

The Annihilating Sun Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun's hand froze.

Why is he so vengeful?

"Don't be like this."

The Annihilating Sun Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun thought of the terrible scene ahead, suddenly felt panic in his heart, and tried to bribe: "How about I take you to see the Immortal Arts? Ten times?"

"Hmph."

Jiang Ding let out a light snort.

"That shouldn't be right; your soul strength should be comparable to a Nascent Soul, you can watch."

The Annihilating Sun Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun didn't understand, looking at the Nascent Souls around him.

"Um,"

Master Master Dinghai explained enviously from the side: "He doesn't need anyone to lead him; his own flying sword comes with resistance, he can go see the Immortal Arts himself, as many times as he wants, unfortunately... he can't take people along like the Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun can."

"Perhaps it will be possible during the Nascent Soul stage."

He said hopefully.

Compared to so many Master Canghai Tianjuns, this student is still the reliable one; if he advances to Nascent Soul, how wonderful that would be...

"The Immortal Arts won't work."

The Annihilating Sun Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun made a bitter face, pondering deeply.

"Fine."

"Beating me up is fine then."

The Annihilating Sun Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun's eyes suddenly lit up; he sighed mournfully: "When the time comes, I'll lie on the ground, absolutely not resisting; beat me however you want, even if you break my nose crooked, blood flows everywhere, I scream and crawl around, that's fine; I promise I won't sue you for money."

"Brother, I'm not that kind of person."

"You agree, right?"

He proudly raised his eyebrows at Jiang Ding and said.

"..."

Jiang Ding was speechless.

It really might turn out that way,

an old man of several thousand years, lying on the ground, not resisting at all, is really hard to strike.

"Hahaha..."

"This Great Lord is invincible!"

Having figured things out, the Annihilating Sun Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun returned to his arrogant and triumphant appearance, flew in a flash to the middle of the Nascent Soul Zhenjuns, sound waves spread in all directions, and he began to lecture.

"The bottleneck of Soul Transformation lies in magic power, lies in the soul; both must be honed to an extreme limit, only then can the basic requirements for breaking through the Nascent Soul to Soul Transformation be met..."
