Chapter 876: The Dayang Dayang Tianchi Once Again Controlled by the Great Sun Sword Child

Jiang Ding traversed the dark, heavy starry sky of the realm, like a radiant young planet.

The sound-and-light effects of the Ten Thousand Li Light Sword brought him considerable trouble; a faint premonition rose in his heart, and he was not accustomed to this manner of traveling exposed before everyone.

"I've confirmed it."

"These sound-and-light effects are absolutely intentional!"

Jiang Ding said, displeased.

The inheritance of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion is somewhat similar to the white-haired tiger and the seven-colored butterfly in nature — its main focus is on bright colors, warning natural enemies, increasing the difficulty of hunting, and thereby tempering one's own sword intent and sword heart.

Opponents, especially suitable ones, are precious.

They are a non-renewable resource for the Great Sun Sword Child, and must be given a certain degree of protection and strengthening, otherwise the optimal tempering effect cannot be achieved.

If the optimal tempering effect cannot be achieved, one cannot break through... above Refinement Void!

This is the goal the Great Sun Sword Pavilion has single-mindedly pursued for hundreds of thousands of years.

Everyone, including the lives of the Great Sun Sword Child, must serve this purpose — it is not that producing a single Refinement Void Sword Master is enough; they disdain such a thing.

If the Great Sun Sword Child cannot possess the potential to reach above Refinement Void within this barren realm.

Then please go die.

Fortunately, this is the heartland of the Immortal Gate, where the Refinement Void Grand Formation can provide support at any moment; otherwise Jiang Ding would absolutely turn back and leave, waiting until he had finished revising his escape art before coming over.

Jiang Ding meandered through the starry sky of the realm, occasionally brushing past Immortal Gate warships and starry fortresses, exchanging nods of greeting.

From time to time he would enter one or two Minor Thousand Worlds and step onto teleportation arrays.

After more than a month, Jiang Ding arrived outside the Cang Hai Minor World, left the realm wall, and once again plunged deep into the starry sky.

This time he flew a great distance, passing through asteroid belts, passing through the dark, heavy, deathly silent starry sky.

Sometimes he encountered the Nine Hells Nether Wind Belt sweeping past, where all things sank into ruin and living beings fell deathly silent, causing his face to change drastically; he retreated three measures, waited a full several months, and only after confirming that the Nine Hells Nether Wind Belt had completely passed did he dare resume his journey.

Unknowingly, half a year passed.

Jiang Ding had flown far from the Minor Thousand Worlds, traveling for a long time through the deathly silent starry sky of the realm.

Finally, he came to a halt in an empty stretch of realm starry sky where there was nothing at all.

Jiang Ding glanced at the sky.

It was daytime now; the Sun Star Lord poured down countless rays of solar light, burning all things, enough to annihilate every living being below Nascent Soul, and even Nascent Soul cultivators would be gravely wounded if they were not careful.

However, these rays made Jiang Ding very comfortable, and the magic power within his body became a bit more lively.

"That's right."

"The Dayang Dayang Tianchi is right here."

Jiang Ding confirmed.

In the battle that destroyed the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, the pavilion's foundational treasure — a top-tier Refinement Void fortress dao artifact, the cradle of the Great Sun Sword Child, the Dayang Dayang Tianchi — was breached by the joint assault of the Immortal Gate and the Badaxian Sect, and more than half of it was smashed apart.

In the end, after confirming there was no threat, the Jiudaxian Sect sealed the Dayang Dayang Tianchi within this stretch of starry sky; it has now been three thousand four hundred years.

"... Sword Child..."

"After an interval of several hundred years... I see you again. You have improved a great deal, no longer sneaking about in that furtive manner... this is good..."

The gentle voice of the Dayang Dayang Tianchi Moon Spirit came through.

Jiang Ding's face stiffened.

Who are you calling furtive?

"Hmph!"

"Moon, you are already an old antique; it's perfectly normal that you cannot understand the tactics of the new-era sword cultivators."

Jiang Ding formed hand seals and took out an edict.

Yellow-brown in color, but not in the form of a talisman — it was a red-headed document, with the heading "Immortal Gate Dayang Dayang Tianchi Seal-Removal Resolution," a row of text below, and at the very end a distant signature, along with the stamped seals of the Immortal Gate's Governing Great Seal and the Citizens' Assembly Resolution Great Seal.

This was an official document authorized by the Immortal Gate.

"By decree,"

"The seal is lifted!"

Jiang Ding finished the final hand seal and shouted in a low voice.

Boom!

A sudden clap of thunder rang through the realm starry sky!

In the void that had been utterly empty, fissures like spiderwebs suddenly appeared at this moment, spreading swiftly like a shattering mirror.

Then, with a tremendous crash, it burst open, and countless fragments flew in all directions.

Every shattered spatial fragment could pierce through the shield of a Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun and cut him down.

This place had become a hell of blades!

Jiang Ding's face expressionless, he unfolded the Great Sun Indestructible Sword Domain,

and within a radius of one thousand two hundred kilometers, sword qi rose one after another — at the utmost of brilliance, at the utmost of splendor — bearing moreover the great momentum of heaven and earth, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of sun and moon; the temperature instantly soared to over ten thousand degrees Celsius, and every strand of sword qi was incomparably agile, swimming about within the sword domain.

Countless spatial fragments splashed toward this side, first melted by the high temperature within the sword domain imbued with the Great Sun Destruction Sword Intent, and then layer upon layer of golden, resplendent sword qi surged up, slashing the now much-weakened spatial fragments to nothing and sweeping them clean.

After several breaths, the spatial storm caused by the breaking of the seal gradually subsided.

Jiang Ding fixed his gaze and looked, his breath faintly catching.

What appeared before him was a regular circular space tens of thousands of kilometers in size, crystalline and translucent, naturally able to gather the light of the sun and stars and merge them into itself, and moreover able to inhale and exhale the primordial chaos of the universe, transforming it into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for its own continual growth.

Originally, it was like this.

But at this moment, the crystalline, translucent regular crystal sphere was bound by nine dark, heavy rune chains as massive as mountain serpents, sunk deeply into the crystal wall, causing the crystal wall to show a fine state of fragmentation; from time to time a pale-golden liquid seeped out, seemingly blood, a shocking sight to behold.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out in the void; among the nine chains, the one imbued with starlight, imbued with electromagnetism, and moreover imbued with the military soul 'Zhong', shattered apart at this moment — fissures appeared on the chain, then spread throughout the entire chain, crack crack sounds ceaselessly, until at last the rune chain crumbled away into the realm starry sky.

The Immortal Gate's seal had undone itself!

As the seal runes and chains of the Immortal Gate unraveled, the nine great seals instantly developed massive breaches; the crystal wall, once tightly constricted, began to recover, showing signs of revival.

Immediately, eight seals sensed something and began to tighten, resealing the Great Sun Heavenly Pool once more.

The aura of revival was halted.

Jiang Ding carefully examined the Great Sun Heavenly Pool.

It was roughly ninety thousand kilometers across, a regular sphere, yet most of its area had collapsed: some regions were filled with vast quantities of terrifying law-destroying radiation dust, others were dark shadowy abysses, some were poisonous Taiyi Qingmu forests, others bore the curses of incense gods, or a mixture of many auras... truly a death zone for all living things.

Only the very center, an area of several hundred kilometers, barely maintained vitality.

This Refining Void Fortress Dao Artifact of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, the cradle of the Great Sun Sword Disciple, now looked far too miserable.

"Sword Disciple, the seal has developed a huge breach."

"The Great Sun Heavenly Pool has already begun to recover; in about twenty-seven hundred years, it will wear away the seals of the Eight Great Immortal Sects. At that time, we must root out the Nine Great Immortal Sects one by one, kill all Soul Transformation and Refining Void cultivators, and stab each one to death..."

Yue's voice was gentle and soft, like that of a pretty older sister next door, yet the content of her words was not particularly gentle.

"Correction: it is the Eight Great Immortal Sects."

Jiang Ding's expression was emotionless.

"Oh,"

"Then it is the Eight Great Immortal Sects."

Yue Ling did not argue, speaking gently.

Jiang Ding's divine sense surged through the cracks revealed by the breaking of the Immortal Gate's seal, pouring into the Great Sun Heavenly Pool to locate its core.

Afterwards, his magic power, divine consciousness, and sword intent flooded in, intending to refine it and control all formations within the Heavenly Pool.

Including this Yue Ling, who clearly had a rebellious streak.

There was no difficulty; it went very smoothly.

It could even be said it was easier than breathing; the many formations within the Great Sun Heavenly Pool, including the rebellious Yue Ling, cooperated with him, cheering and celebrating, welcoming his arrival, helping him leave a Shen Hun Lao Yin on the Great Sun Heavenly Pool's core, controlling everything, proceeding with extreme smoothness.

Jiang Ding closed his eyes, his magic power and sword intent circulating ceaselessly, gradually refining the Great Sun Heavenly Pool, letting time pass.

Three years later,

the final Shen Hun Lao Yin was carved complete.

Buzz!

Buzz buzz!

The Great Sun Heavenly Pool buzzed and trembled, its radiance dazzling beyond measure; the Heavenly Pool rotated on its own, bursting open strands of seal. Instantly, its ability to gather Great Sun light and transform chaos into spiritual energy increased by more than tenfold.

"Success."

Jiang Ding opened his eyes, many realizations surfacing in his heart.

After an interval of three thousand four hundred years,

the Great Sun Heavenly Pool returned once again to the hands of the Great Sun Sword Disciple!
