CHAPTER 1637: CHAPTER 1605: THE FIRST STEP ON THE PATH OF THE HEAVENLY MAN

"Fully restored."

"Body shattered into ash, nothing more..."

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

At the moment when the Divine Soul and Law Body were completely restored, inspiration and enlightenment accumulated from the last battle surged towards him like a tide, causing sparks of inspiration to appear in his Sea of Consciousness, gathering into droplets, and instantly turning into a vast ocean, boundless and limitless...

Countless inspirations and enlightenments, utterly unstoppable!

In Jiang Ding’s heart, there was a sudden clarity about many past unsolvable problems concerning the Seventh Realm Heavenly Sword Realm of the Sword Dao.

The Seventh Realm of Sword Dao is called the Heavenly Sword Realm, where a Sword Cultivator uses the Life Flying Sword as a fulcrum to leverage the Cosmic Heavenly Dao Rules, subtly modifying the Heaven and Earth Rules he controls, transforming them into his own rules.

This is indeed the Heavenly Man’s path for Sword Cultivators!

A path of Heavenly Man that starts from the Void Refining Stage, a unique road for Upper Realm Immortal Sect Disciples, incredibly terrifying.

It should be known that in the endless Immortal Dao Universe Star River, many Harmonization Peak Cultivators dare not take a step on the Heavenly Man’s path in their entire lifetime, not even daring to make the slightest modification to the most ordinary Heaven and Earth Rules, including many renowned Harmonization Peak Cultivators in the Ancient Divine Domain, including Harmonization Peak God Monarchs of the Nine Great Immortal Sects in the Ancient Divine Domain.

Because they know, if they dare to take this step, they will undoubtedly die.

The promotion in the Immortal Dao is not a card game, with probabilities of one in ten thousand or one in five thousand, if a cultivator lacks the proper foundation and talent, touching the Heavenly Man’s path, taking one step, the probability of death is one hundred percent, there will be no other result, miracles will not occur.

And the requirement for a Sword Cultivator in the Seventh Realm of Sword Dao is to subtly modify the Heavenly Dao Rules with the Life Flying Sword as a fulcrum!

This realm simply does not differentiate between minor success, major success, or peak.

As much as a Sword Cultivator can subtly modify the Heaven and Earth Rules, the Seventh Realm of Sword Dao progresses to that extent; theoretically, the advancement of the Seventh Realm of Sword Dao is infinite.

Void Refining Stage entails subtly modifying Heaven and Earth Rules!

This is extremely dangerous, even for Upper Realm Immortal Sect Disciples, who cannot possibly withstand the backlash from Rule modification before ascending to Harmonization Peak.

This Sword Dao Realm, making one wrong step leads to death.

The only thing Upper Realm Immortal Sect Disciples can rely on is their own talent, their absolute self-confidence, confident that their understanding of the Rules and themselves has no errors.

Because they believe they will never make mistakes, they hence believe they will not die.

Compared to Upper Realm Immortal Sect Disciples, Jiang Ding’s Seventh Realm progress is even more challenging.

Because his rules and path have no ancestral reference, no ancestor has blazed this trail, everything is uncertain and unknown, akin to the path-making Ancestor Masters of the Upper Realm Immortal Sect, walking with difficulty in thorns and darkness.

Thus, Jiang Ding hesitated for a long time before daring to step into the Seventh Realm of Sword Dao.

Because making one small mistake is certainly fatal, and he does not have absolute confidence, he can only stop with fear before a thicket and mist, actively engage in Xianmen Sect’s Immortal Dao research, enhance his understanding of Immortal Dao Rules, strengthen his foundation, hoping one day to tear apart the thicket and mist before him.

He once thought this process would last for a very long time, perhaps never able to tear away the thicket and mist before him.

But the development of real history proves how important a formidable opponent is for a Sword Cultivator.

A strong enemy is the Sword Cultivator’s heaven-defying opportunity!

"Ancient God Ancestor Master,"

"You are an old thing worthy of being beaten to death..."

Jiang Ding felt the surging tides of inspiration in his Sea of Consciousness, uttering words of admiration.

The blocking thorns and mist in front of the Heavenly Man’s path were torn open, revealing a path of Cosmic Heavenly Dao Rules, a brilliant road of Sun Rules, containing six major rules of Law-Breaking, Forbidden Law, Destruction, Primordial Magnet, and only the Sun Rules.

This rule originates in heaven and earth and seems to undergo subtle changes, becoming a special existence...

Jiang Ding saw that all prohibitions and mist on the Heavenly Man’s path were swept away, revealing a clear road forward, not even a small patch to avoid, even a three-year-old walking this path won’t fall, only very far away does thorns and mist reappear.

This road seems endless.

Even the legendary True Immortal seems to walk this road, never-ending, like the boundless great path.

"Now,"

"I can already take a step."

Jiang Ding was enlightened: "I can now subtly change the Sun Rules for the first time, transform them into my rules, having one hundred percent confidence in success, even having one or two-tenths confidence for the second or third subtle modification."

"I sense, with each subtle modification of a rule, taking a step forward on the Heavenly Man’s path, my power will undergo tremendous changes."

"My first step will inevitably succeed."

"Should I..."

Jiang Ding felt a strong urge in his heart.

He wanted to subtly modify the rules right now, create his own Sun Rules, let his great path undergo a transformation.

However, this desire was restrained.

The Heavenly Man’s path, one wrong step is certain death.

This matter between life and death should be extremely cautious, simulating and deducing countless times, ensuring absolute failure-proof before starting, at least confirm whether this is overconfidence blurring the distinction between reality and fantasy.

The world objectively exists.

Wrong is wrong, right is right.

This is not based on a cultivator’s heated passion, how confidence can alter, confidence is merely a subjective judgment standard.

"No rush, no rush,"

"In any case, hundreds of years of verification on the Central Array Spirit Computer are required."

Jiang Ding took out a notebook from the Storage Jade Pendant to plan his schedule: "Subtly changing rules, this is a qualitative transformation, a Nirvana of the cultivator’s great path, which often lasts for thousands of years, death awaits if care is not taken."

"Before this, I need to clear up some loose ends, ensuring Nirvana won’t be disrupted."

"Moreover, reserve some computational margin, even if interrupted, no errors occur, thus ensuring safety..."

After completing the Nirvana plan, Jiang Ding casually flipped through the notebook.

Page after page turned, filled with many plans from his past cultivation stages, names like: Divine Crow Immortal’s kin bullied me, Zhendong Marquis Tang Wang sent people to hunt me, Blood Lake Corpse Bones Mountain’s ancestor beat me with a clone...

Countless names, densely packed.

Had it not been a Treasure, were this notebook’s contents written on ordinary paper, it could almost fill the entire room.

These names have a common trait, all are gray, differing therein some names are crossed out, some are not.

Crossed out indicates killed by the Great Sun Sword Master.

Uncrossed indicates the individual has died, whether from old age or others killed them, did not await the Great Sun Sword Master’s action.

This notebook quickly reached the last page.

Here, names with flickering spiritual light begin to appear, no longer a gray mass.

"Thunder Sun Heavenly Sword Realm, Shou Gui God Monarch, chased after me during the Divinity Transformation Stage, utterly shameless to the extreme..."

"And the Immortal Artifact Sect’s Shadow Puppet God Monarch..."

"Ancient God Ancestor Master..."

Jiang Ding scribbled, reorganizing the information of these names still flickering spiritual light, various intelligence regarding them, their various relationship backgrounds, preparing for thorough investigations.
