Chapter 1553: The Heirs of the Great Sun Meet
A sun star obscured its light, traversing through the universe, flying into the distance, never stopping for a moment.
This is the Great Sun Heavenly Pond.
At some moment, a green-clothed youth appeared once again at the center of the Great Sun Heavenly Pool Sun Abyss, closed his eyes, and continued cultivation, refining the eleventh Sun Rules Restriction on his Flying Sword, while pondering many matters within the Xianmen Sect.
Currently, the most crucial tasks are naturally the development of Constant Star Level warships and the development of Harmonization Stage cultivation methods, which are key to all Refining Nothingness cultivators of the sect advancing to a higher realm.
Secondary tasks include the structure of the Six Dao Reincarnation, insights into Heavenly Sword Swordsmanship, and the development and utilization of Sun Swordsmanship.
Additionally, the research and development of the Void Six Paths Illusion Realm, crucial to the governance of the Immortal Sect citizens, do not have an urgent timeline, and can be completed within twenty thousand years.
However, to ensure that the Void Six Paths Illusion Realm can be unveiled in twenty thousand years, extensive human and material resources must be invested in research and development starting now, rather than waiting twenty thousand years and then trying to catch up at the last minute, as that would achieve nothing.
Also, the refining of Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi and the essence of the sun and moon into one's Elixir Field as droplets of Mana is a lifelong pursuit for a cultivator, never stopping for a moment.
In this way, one is constantly busy, with no moment to spare.
Fortunately, all these matters are things Jiang Ding himself enjoys, so it's not particularly tedious.
Whenever he has leisure time, he uses the communication formation of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond to communicate with the Mother Realm, sharing the latest Immortal Technology achievements with various fellow Daoists of the Xianmen Sect and discussing ideas, as well as monitoring the Refining Nothingness Path of classmates, teachers, and friends like Immortal Dinghai, An Siyan, and Jin Lingfeng, making life quite fulfilling.
The long, unchanging dead-silent Domain Starry Sky, on the contrary, becomes a contrast to a busy life, and occasionally looking at the vast Starry Sky evokes many feelings.
"Perhaps, only such an Endless Universe Starry Sky can accommodate and give birth to a True God who is eternally immortal..."
Jiang Ding, traversing in the Starry Sky, sighed.
As a Refining Nothingness cultivator, he can convert Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi from the cosmic chaos, and with the addition of the light from Taiyin and the Great Sun, he can barely manage to survive, while for cultivation, the reserved Spiritual Energy in the Great Sun Heavenly Pond allows him to cultivate and refine Flying Swords intensively for a thousand years, so there's nothing to worry about.
Refining Nothingness cultivators already possess Star Domain-Level Life.
Thus, time flows gently.
In the blink of an eye, this sun star, concealing its light, has been traveling through the Cosmic Starry Sky for over four hundred years.
Now, in that extremely distant place, the faint glows emitted by the worlds of Youming Sword Cave Heaven can already be seen, like strings of pearls.
It's still an extremely distant absolute distance.
However, for a Harmonization cultivator or someone with Harmonization combat power, it can already be said to not be far away.
The previous form of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond that devoured the Sun, the Bright Palace, was precisely the Inheritance treasure of Youming Sword Cave Heaven, and it contains clear records of the coordinates of Youming Sword Cave Heaven, so the journey naturally has no errors.
"I'll go around, randomly bypassing. I won't pass through any Minor Thousand World."
Jiang Ding murmured to himself.
Hundreds of years ago, he personally ambushed over a dozen Harmonization God Monarchs from the Ancient God Alliance, and naturally, he wouldn't repeat the same mistake.
He's not afraid of the Taiyou Sword Master and the Light Sword Lord of Youming Sword Cave Heaven; they are, in fact, the targets he's been anticipating facing this trip.
However, if Tianji God Monarch and other Eight Great Immortal Sect experts have laid traps somewhere to ambush, he wouldn't stand a chance, as falling into a trap would mean certain death.
Those eight are extremely cunning, higher than him by a major realm, and have hundreds of thousands of years of experience encircling the Great Sun Sword Master, making mistakes nearly impossible.
Yet, this is where the excitement lies.
Jiang Ding quietly progresses through the Cosmic Starry Sky, with a boiling murderous intent quietly nurturing and constantly accumulating.
"Beep beep!"
"Beep beep beep..."
This was the urgent sound coming from the communication authentication module of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond of the Xianmen Sect.
Jiang Ding's expression suddenly became serious.
This is an emergency communication of the sect, which requires a huge consumption of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure to establish, allowing real-time communication, rather than waiting for delays of tens of days to a year.
Such emergency communication is generally used when the Xianmen Sect faces major issues, like external invasions or internal rebellions, needing to summon the distant Great Sun Sword Master back to the sect to support the battle situation.
The communication naturally spread and locked onto Jiang Ding, sending segments of Spirit Consciousness Messaging keys.
A screen appeared in front of Jiang Ding; initially, some snowflakes and white spots would occasionally appear, but after a few seconds, it became completely clear, displaying the appearance of Divine Machine True Venerable.
"Jiang Ding, there is some news from Youming Sword Cave Heaven to notify you about."
This type of instant communication is very expensive, so Divine Machine True Venerable quickly confirmed the youth's safety before going straight to the point.
"Please, elder, go ahead."
Jiang Ding exhaled in relief.
As long as it's not that the Xianmen Sect is being heavily invaded by external enemies or experiencing large-scale internal rebellion and civil war, all else are minor issues with no major problem.
"The Taiyou Sword Master and Light Sword Lord of Youming Sword Cave Heaven, two Harmonization Peak cultivators, sent you a letter, which arrived at the Xianmen Sect."
"We looked at it; it's just some simple greetings, an admiration of great reputation and such."
Divine Machine True Venerable concisely said, "However, according to the Central Array Spirit Computer's analytics, it seems to contain a significant amount of encrypted data; it needs to be decrypted by a designated Inheritance Sword Soul Sword Cultivator, which we're unable to understand for now—it might take us several hundred years to decipher. I will pass it on to you later for you to examine it yourself."
"Be careful not to fall into their trap."
"Understood, elder."
Jiang Ding said earnestly.
"It's good that you understand."
Divine Machine True Venerable finished his words and hung up the ultra-long-distance instant communication.
The senior cultivators of the sect have all gone through hard times, and their usual habit is to split a Spirit Stone into two to use, ensuring that one Spirit Stone spent results in the obtained value of one Spirit Stone and not to waste it easily.
After a while, a piece of encrypted Spirit Consciousness communication appeared in the communication formation of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond.
Jiang Ding scanned it with his Divine Sense.
There was nothing unusual about it, just a section of encrypted information with the Yin Yang attribute of a Sword Soul, particular to the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm's inheritance.
Judging from the aura of this Sword Intent, the Sword Master should have just broken through the Sword Soul not long ago, and the Sword Soul's attribute is quite balanced.
"Not bad."
"These two Fellow Daoists have good talent and insight; it seems they made some breakthroughs during the war."
Jiang Ding praised.
The two Sword Masters of Youming Sword Cave Heaven might have grown up through much hardship and countless sword fights, which surely contain many commendable and lamentable stories.
But in his view, their living environment is still too comfortable; they haven't even slain a single Immortal Sect Disciple from the Ancient Divine Domain.
Only recently have they embarked on the proper path of Sword Cultivation and Sword Refining, walking the Righteous Dao.
Of course, all this was voluntarily done by the Great Sun Sword Master, and should be kept in mind without over-thanking.
Clang!
Jiang Ding pointed his finger, slicing through a Sword-light of Sun Sword Intent.
This encrypted Spirit Consciousness communication instantly shattered, transforming into streams of black and white Spiritual Light, and then quickly reassembled into the guise of two Harmonization Sword Cultivators, one a coldly beautiful female cultivator, the other a brightly radiant male cultivator, with the terrifying Sword Dao pressure of Taiyin and Taiyang oppressing all around, emanating strong energy.
They looked in this direction.
At the same time, the destructive, blazing light of the Great Sun Sword Master also arrived.
