Chapter 2268: Chapter 2235: The Final Battle for Becoming Emperor Approaches, Xianmen Sect’s Escape Route

After detailed inspection of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, Jiang Ding and the Taiyin Sun Supreme bid a reluctant farewell.

Both sides felt a sense of reluctance.

In the endless starry sky, for the Taiyin Sun Supreme, the Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy was the only acquaintance left from their childhood, a symbol of youthful days and nostalgia, apart from the Sword Fairy.

The Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy felt similarly.

In the years of the Perishing Immortal Realm, the Sun Sword Child and the Taiyin Sword Child were an indelible mark.

However, time cannot stand still.

"Jiang Dingzi, are you planning to rebuild the Great Sun Sword Pavilion?"

The Sun Supreme asked.

The Great Sun Sword Pavilion, which in reality is the sect developed through various iterations of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, seceded from the Pure Yang Sword Sect—and is connected to the Yin-Yang Sword Sect—the sect is the essence of Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm. The Sun Supreme harbored sentimental feelings for the sect, a legacy stretching from the Pure Yang Ancestor’s Pure Yang Sword Sect.

"This matter should be left to the 19th generation Great Sun Sword Master to handle."

Jiang Ding did not answer directly.

Currently, it is the era of the 18th generation Great Sun Sword Master.

The sect’s foundational instruments like the Great Sun Immortal Spirit Golden Sword Embryo, the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, and the Sword Pavilion Envoys have all elevated to the Quasi-Emperor Rank, bearing immense power.

The lineage of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion is a crucial sub-branch of the Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy’s legacy, which will not be forsaken.

The premise, however, is that it does not affect the continuity of the Xianmen Sect.

Accompanied by numerous maidens and the Fusang Empress, they talked for a long while, discussing numerous topics.

They reminisced about the times during the previous generation of the Taiyin Sun Supreme, recalling various past events, appearing dithering and not possessing the straightforwardness attributed to Sword Cultivators.

The Taiyin Sun Supreme escorted them over great distances repeatedly, refusing to stop despite having traveled billions of kilometers, deeply reluctant to part ways.

Ultimately, the farewell came to an end.

The figures of the Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy and the maidens gradually faded away, returning to the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Palace.

This palace, located at the center of the Vermilion Bird Star Domains, was erected amid the ruins of the True Phoenix Red Flame Emperor Heaven, encircled by numerous Star Domain Grand Formations, appearing desolate yet solemn.

Dragon Girl Caiwei, Phoenix Girl Yunxi, and other maidens gradually dispersed, beginning to receive the Tushan Maid legacy.

Within the palace, only the Chief Maiden Caiyu Quasi-Emperor and the Fusang Empress remained.

Their gazes were somewhat gentle. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

They recognized that the Sword Immortal was not in a good mood, somewhat melancholic, silently accompanying him to mitigate his sense of loneliness.

That aloof Sword Cultivator, who traversed the endless starry sky, had emotions too.

The green-clothed youth stood still in the palace for a long time.

"This should be the last time I meet the Sun Sword Child."

"In life, there are always farewells."

Jiang Ding sighed lightly.

The Sun Sword Child from the past had over tens of thousands of years of lifespan left, already a Seven Tribulations Venerable in his twilight years.

The next generation of Taiyin Sun Supreme is destined to far surpass this generation, pushing forward the progress of the Great Yin Yang Sword Dao with unparalleled talent and intellect, lighting up the sect, but it would no longer be the same Taiyin Sun Supreme he knew.

Time relentlessly flows, taking away too much.

...

Beidou Star Domains.

Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace.

Jiang Ding sat in the Vermilion Bird Star Domains for over twenty thousand years before returning to this base of his.

Because this Star Domain was developed earlier, it housed more talents, with dozens of Quasi-Emperors, and an abundance of research institutions and projects; here lay his research center.

Upon confirming the stability of the Vermilion Bird Star Domains, he returned here.

This time, Jiang Ding did not convene a meeting with numerous Quasi-Emperors to discuss governance and Immortal Dao research matters.

Since everything was being meticulously managed and developed, with critical projects involving his divine soul threads, it was safe to say he was the core of the Taoist Court’s research, hence no delay could occur.

Jiang Ding took a step forward.

The surrounding heavens and earth shifted, light and shadow changed; he arrived at a familiar star system with eight major planets and a star.

This is the Solar System.

This is the most profound part of the Immortal Capital Library on Xianmen’s Mother Planet, the Golden Palace.

There, an extremely important meeting was underway, with Yuan, Cheng Zhen, Lu, the Sun Destruction Venerable, the Bone Forest Venerable, the Venerable of the Vast Sea, and others in attendance.

Looking across, it seemed as if the place was teeming with Venerables, occasionally encountering Quasi-Emperors, a truly impressive Immortal Dao Sacred Land in the endless starry sky—it’s unfathomable that this power once comprised only a few Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Lu, the present Immortal Gate Governor.

He had developed antimatter reactor warships, Immortal Dao Elimination Method Immortal Spirit Warships, possessing unparalleled talent and aptitude, making significant contributions to both non-spiritual and Immortal Dao technology, and earning battle merits on the battlefield.

His real name is Lu Yuan, distinguished from Yuan, hence many Xianmen cultivators referred to him as Lu.

This meeting was titled the Immortal Gate Strategic Research and Development Conference.

Differing from the Taoist Court meetings in the Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace, this meeting emphasized the interests of the Immortal Gate deeply, with the Taoist Court’s interests being secondary, if not irrelevant.

At the meeting, Jiang Ding participated as an observer in the name of a citizen, rather than as the Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy.

"...From the current perspective, the battle among the True God Sons of the endless starry sky is nearing its conclusion, soon to birth the final victor, and the likelihood of this victor becoming an Emperor is substantial..."

"Based on various indications, a new emperor will emerge in at most two million years."

"...In such turbulent and critical times, how should the Immortal Gate position itself?"

Lu addressed the center of the conference, his voice calm and powerful.

In the conference hall, many Supreme Immortal Gate and Quasi-Emperors delved into contemplation and deduction; the Central Formation Spirit Computer of the Immortal Sect had now achieved a Quasi-Emperor Seventh Layer Heaven degree, integrating the divine soul computational power of many Quasi-Emperor Venerables and various formidable divine soul strengths from the Immortal Gate to deduce the future.

"If the Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy emerges victorious, the Immortal Gate will embrace further developmental opportunities."

"The Immortal Gate is bound to birth a Nine Tribulations Venerable. In the era to come, the collective will of the Immortal Gate has greater potential to become a True Immortal, even to be acknowledged by the human emperor of the swarm consciousness..."

Lu steered the course of the meeting, occasionally seeing a Supreme Immortal Gate ascend to deliver a speech.

This speculation was put forward by the Sun Destruction Venerable.

Many Supreme Immortal Gate figures cast their eyes toward a green-clothed youth.

"...Indeed so."

Jiang Ding sighed.

He wanted to say he yearned to achieve immortality in this life, needing no future.

Yet, he could hardly convince himself of such words; too many prerequisites were lacking, such assertions could not be articulated with vigor and firmness.

"Should the Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy falter, presently it appears the victors potentially fall among True Immortal Wanfa, Heavenly Weaver True Divine Daughter; these are currently the three most potent True Immortal figures in the endless starry sky, each holding two to three True Immortal lives at hand."

"True Immortal Wanfa may retain a spot for the Immortal Gate within the Immortal Dynasty she envisaged."

"Heavenly Weaver True Divine Daughter harbors intense aversion towards humans; this deity, during the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Dynasty, was the forbidden tutorial maid of the imperial household, having endured dreadful torment, fostering a deep-seated vendetta against the Human Race.

If she ascends to Emperor, she might annihilate the entire starry sky Human Race, rendering it extinct..."

"In any case, the Immortal Gate must deliberate a contingency plan."

Lu stated solemnly.
