CHAPTER 1661: CHAPTER 1629: THE TAOIST DISCIPLE OF YEARS PAST, NOW THE SECT PATRIARCH

This world suddenly fell silent.

Heavenly Ghost God Monarch’s hair and beard were wild, his eyes wide with rage and endless resentment. Once reborn, he vowed to wash the heavens and earth in blood to quell the hatred in his heart.

Yet at this moment, a chill crept into his heart.

Clang!

A clear and haunting sound of swords rang out.

From the resplendent light of the Great Sun emerged a green-clothed youth, with a tender face, seemingly sixteen years old, drawing the longsword from his waist and stepping forward.

"Refining Emptiness... Refining Emptiness..."

"You are Refining Emptiness!"

The Heavenly Ghost God Monarch cried out in astonishment.

Why does this youth of Refining Emptiness possess such suffocating pressure!

As if facing a Supreme, facing a Sovereign!

It seemed as though, even if the other party wanted to execute him, he should instead shout gratitude to the Sovereign, without any thoughts of resistance, must bow his head, expose his neck, otherwise it would be defiance, not knowing one’s place.

"Heavenly Ghost,"

"This Monarch,"

"Grants you a sword."

Jiang Ding traversed ten thousand miles of space, slowly approaching the Heavenly Ghost God Monarch and said casually, "Under this sword, if you can survive, or if your Divine Soul Brand can still exist, then you are talented. You can live as a criminal in the prison of Xianmen Sect, and your merits can reduce your sentence."

The Xianmen Sect has always embraced all rivers, especially enemies without citizen blood feuds.

Clang!

A sword struck out, the sun rose in the east, gathering all the boundless light of the domain, all fell upon that one sword, pressing down everything, destroying everything.

After the sun shone,

The green-clothed youth did not glance at the enemy again and turned to return to the Great Sun Heavenly Pond.

"No!"

"This is impossible!"

Behind him, the Heavenly Ghost God Monarch revealed an extremely terrified expression.

He didn’t dare have any thoughts of resistance, burning his essence blood, burning his Divine Soul, burning everything, his body instantly collapsing into countless ghostly shadows, each one lifelike, as if it were a real person, fleeing madly through the net of rules towards the universe.

His escape technique was mysterious and unpredictable, the highest escape technique of the Heavenly Ghost God Sect from ten thousand years ago, known as the Heavenly Ghost God’s Cause and Effect Escape. If mastered, he could travel the world undeterred.

Historically, during the sect battles in the Ancient Divine Domain, the Heavenly Ghost God Sect’s Harmonization God frequently escaped death through this escape technique, preserving the sect and gaining great fame in the domain.

Now, faced with the terror of life and death, the Heavenly Ghost God Monarch burned everything, using the escape technique to its fullest.

Even his Divine Soul was still trembling, some terrible instinct screamed frantically, urging him to quickly detach from his Divine Soul and law body, returning once more to the Heavenly Dao with his Divine Soul Brand, the only path to survival in the unseen fate.

The Heavenly Ghost God Monarch had no hesitation, he did just that, decisive in the extreme.

Truly worthy of a Harmonization God Monarch who grew from weakness, having faced innumerable trials by blood and storm, making the most correct decision in an instant.

However, when the sun set, all was illusory.

The sun rose in the east, the sun set, and the devastating light rendered all the ghost shadows to ashes.

No matter if these ghost shadows hid in the depths of space or within the network of rules, or concealed themselves within layers of rules net, it made no difference, all were obliterated by the terrifying destructive force.

The so-called Cause and Effect Escape Technique, the so-called Space Rules Escape Technique, lost all their miraculous power under the sunlight.

Swish!

The radiant sun finally revealed its true form, a flying sword, its blade thrusting straight into the Heavenly Ghost God Monarch’s head, obliterating his Divine Soul and mana’s life force instantly.

This terrifying sword bore the rules of cause and effect, destruction, annihilation, with one thrust, below the Quasi-Heavenly, the so-called true body, avatar, soul fragment all had no distinction.

All beings closely connected to the Heavenly Ghost God Monarch would certainly die simultaneously, no escape technique could save them, only embracing their inevitable fate.

The death of the Divine Soul and law body was not the end.

The Taiqing Flying Sword soared up from the ashes, the sword transformed into sun rules, integrating into the net of Heavenly Dao rules, traversing in the Heavenly Dao rules net, using the path just taken by the Harmonization Cultivator returning to the Heavenly Dao.

Soon, she found a dark rule node, along with the panic-stricken living being on the rule node, without much difficulty.

"Spare me!"

"Spare my life..."

This Harmonization God Monarch of a domain, a sovereign, begged in terror.

Swish!

The Taiqing Flying Sword pierced through the dark rule node, penetrating all, crushing the mass of dark rules, destroying the rule brand left by the Harmonization God Monarch in the Heavenly Dao.

Then, she calmly returned.

She withdrew from the Heavenly Dao, intimately pressed against the Sword Master’s cheek, and disappeared.

The Heavenly Ghost God Monarch, utterly dead!

Numerous Harmonization God Monarchs of the Ninth Front Army quickly noted down all they observed, many feeling nervous, not daring to raise their heads, fearing being called upon to answer questions.

Fortunately, this did not occur.

"Destroying the Heavenly Dao brand of a Harmonization cultivator is as such, it is a rather difficult part of the Quasi-Heavenly Stage Formation Method; I’ve compiled this case into a textbook, you all must study it carefully when you return..."

Jiang Ding did not make things difficult for them, he advised.

"Yes!"

"Teacher!"

Many Immortal Sect Void Refining Practitioners breathed a sigh of relief.

...

The sun fleet of the Xianmen Sect traversed domain after domain, its radiance spreading across all heavens and myriad worlds, cleansing ancient divine worms, further solidifying the Xianmen Sect’s sovereign position in the Ancient Divine Domain.

This process lasted for centuries.

Eventually, the Great Sun Sword Master’s Great Sun Heavenly Pond paused beside the Qingmu Domain.

The Eight Great Immortal Sects pledged allegiance to the Xianmen Sect at the cost of their legacy, each with a domain special zone, named after their sects.

On this day, the Great Sun Sword Master finally patrolled the Green Wood Immortal Sect region.

According to the Xianmen Sect’s rules, the Eight Great Immortal Sect domains were dispersed across four directions, extremely far apart from one another, not allowed to assemble without permission, otherwise facing the charge of treason.

In the Central Formation Spirit Computer of the Immortal Sect’s estimation, the nine great Taoist disciples at the peak of Refining Emptiness united possessed Harmonization Peak power, once they advanced to Harmonization, united they would certainly possess Quasi-Heavenly Power, and would be an incredibly strong force in the Quasi-Heavenly.

This was a risk.

The benefits gained by the Xianmen Sect were the heritages of the Eight Great Immortal Sects, and the industrial chains of the Eight Great Immortal Sects.

The eight different Immortal Dao Industrial Systems had a strong complementary effect on the large industrial system of the Xianmen Sect; in the refinement of many warships, many high-order materials, the steps of the Eight Great Immortal Sects’ practitioners were very important.

The highest creation of this cooperation was the Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold.

Thanks to the allegiance of the Eight Great Immortal Sects, the Xianmen Sect could now synthesize a small amount of Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold, one of the most important alloys of the Death Star battleship’s engine furnace, with the potential to advance to an eighth-order material in the future.

"Lower sect cultivator, Ji Liuyue"

"Salutes the Great Sun Participating, it is a great honor to welcome the Great Sun Participating to our sect."

Ji Liuyue, the Taoist disciple of the Green Wood Immortal Sect—not anymore, now the Supreme Elder of the Green Wood Immortal Sect and a Refining Emptiness Peak Cultivator—led many strong practitioners of the sect to greet him a million kilometers out of the domain.

She was distinguished and elegant, her voice gentle and soft.

The passage of years, the vicissitudes of life.

The Taoist disciple from many years ago was now a founding elder of the sect.
