Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1689: Chapter 1657: Sun Sword Master and Great Sun Ancestor Master

As the Flame Sun World Cluster began its rectification, the Tethering Silk Celestial arrived here, emanating overwhelming pressure in all directions.

In an instant, all the cultivators of the Sun Heavenly Palace shivered, quickly flew out of the palace, and led by the Daoist Grand Master Gong Caiyu, respectfully bowed.

”We juniors,”

”Pay respects to the Celestial senior!”

Whether it was the Harmonization God Monarch or the Refining Nothingness cultivators, they all bowed their heads, their hearts filled with a sense of admiration and reverence.

Among these people were included all the proud and unruly elite cultivators.

The Celestial was already at the pinnacle of the Upper Realm, among the highest echelon of cultivators. Despite all the elites and extraordinary geniuses in the world, those who are called elites are because they have a sliver of hope to become Celestials.

And now, a true Celestial, a monumental figure in the Immortal Dao, appeared before them.

”Haha!”

”The youngsters are indeed lively.”

The Tethering Silk Celestial glanced at everyone, smiling as he spoke.

The numerous political struggles within the Sun Heavenly Palace were transparent to him at a glance, but he did not mind; everyone goes through this in their youth.

Cultivators, besides cultivation and combat, also need to be clear-eyed about worldly affairs.

It’s not about getting involved deeply in the worldly trappings and then rising to high positions. That is not the mainstream path for strong people in the Immortal Dao.

Cultivation is indeed fundamental.

But you must also be aware of worldly affairs and cannot be ignorant of the outside world. Such strong people have significant shortcomings and are easily undermined—like a certain sinister Sword Cultivator.

”Please!”

”Ancestor’s decree!”

The Tethering Silk Celestial took out an ancient Sun Scroll and let it rise into the sky, radiating infinite brilliance.

A terrifying pressure burst between heaven and earth, with endless heat, endless sharpness, and numerous ancient Immortal Dao runes filling the space, containing the essence of the Sun Dao.

Gong Caiyu, Mingguang Zi, Yang Tie Divine Monarch, and all the cultivators of the Sun Heavenly Palace had their minds blank, their Divine Souls rigid, time frozen around them, unable to perceive any external events.

In fact, there was no need for them to participate in this matter at all.

The conversations between strong people in the Immortal Dao never required the attendance or recognition of the weak. The little honor they received was because the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm could not find the Pure Yang Sword Child.

”...There is Pure Yang Sword Child Jiang Dingzi, who slew the Tethering Silk Celestial of the Immortal Artifact Sect, making significant contributions...”

”...Before there was Pure Yang Ancestor, after there was Yin Yang Ancestor, and then there was our sect’s Taiyin and Taiyang Ancestor, whose unparalleled talents created the Taiyin and Taiyang Sword Dao... Alas, those who are gone are like this, but the sect remains, solely relying on the groundbreaking Dao Fruits of successive Ancestor Masters...”

”...Today, the Great Sun Ancestor Master, following the path of Taiyin and Taiyang Ancestor Master, has opened another way; you should not betray the Ancestor’s mandate, continue to move forward, sharpening the sword on the journey...”

The Sun Sword Master first said a few words.

Mainly reminiscing about the history of Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, from Pure Yang Sword Ancestor founding Pure Yang Sword Sect, to the Yin Yang Ancestor creating the Yin Yang Cultivation Method, and finally Taiyin Taiyang Ancestor establishing the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Sword Dao, the journey of Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm was not easy, and the Ancestor Masters were truly great.

It was precisely because of the great contributions of successive Ancestor Masters that disciples of the sect are so fortunate nowadays and the like.

The final part involved a major change.

The Sun Sword Master referred to the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master as the ’Great Sun Ancestor Master.’

This was quite unusual.

The First Generation Great Sun Sword Master was a being from hundreds of thousands of years ago, and the Sun Sword Master seems to be about the same age, so the two should roughly be from the same era.

Yet, despite being the same age, the Sun Sword Master lived to this day, standing atop the Great Thousand World.

The First Generation Great Sun Sword Master, however, was merely a Refining Nothingness cultivator, living just over twenty thousand years before dying.

—The First Generation Great Sun Sword Master was too fond of battle, and the Great Sun Swordsmanship he founded was incomplete at the time, with the phenomenon of Fire and Demonic often occurring, greatly affecting his lifespan, thus he did not live to the lifespan limit of Refining Nothingness.

Of course, before the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master died, he also conveniently killed the Ancestor of the Eight Great Immortal Sects at that time, preventing the newly established Great Sun Sword Pavilion from perishing.

What is the gap between the Sun Sword Master and the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master?

One is a Supreme of the Upper Realm, the other is an ant of Refining Nothingness.

One is the eternal sun high in the sky, the other is the light of a grain of rice.

This is not an exaggerated metaphor, but a statement of an objective fact: the gap between Near Immortal and Refining Nothingness cultivators is this vast and should not be compared at all.

Yet, in such disparity, the Sun Sword Master referred to the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master as the ’Great Sun Ancestor Master.’

This was truly extraordinary, not even looking at him as an equal but looking up, bowing with the etiquette of a disciple, an infant toward an elder, to the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master who died hundreds of thousands of years ago.

This was not even the end.

On this basis, the Sun Sword Master further elevated the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master, comparing him with the three Ancestor Masters in the history of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm who had a significant influence, far exceeding ordinary Ancestor Masters and ordinary Near Immortal level powerhouses, a kind of eulogization to the extreme.

In the words of the Sun Sword Master, the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master was almost deified.

After a segment of reminiscing about the past with political rhetoric of the Immortal Sect, the Sun Sword Master’s decree began to enter the main point, discussing his purpose in coming to the Sun Heavenly Palace.

”...Pure Yang Sword Child Jiang Dingzi, made significant contributions, how can the sect not offer rewards?”

”Lack of clear reward and punishment is a great calamity for the sect.”

”Therefore, the sect’s rewards are as follows,”

The Sun Sword Master paused: ”Firstly, expand the Light Dust World Cluster and Setting Sun World Cluster as the Pure Yang Sealed Domain. Should the monarch die in battle, this domain can be inherited by the next Pure Yang Sword Child;”

”Secondly, expand the Thunder Flame Domain, Golden Sea Domain, Yellow Sand Domain, and twelve Lower Domains as the Pure Yang Sealed Domain;”

”Thirdly, confer one complete Near Immortal Scripture, three partial Near Immortal Scriptures, and 360,000 of the Celestial Scriptures and those below.”

”The above rewards all belong to the lineage of Great Sun Swordsmanship.”

The gentle words echoed within the Sun Heavenly Palace, resounding with echoes that gradually faded away without any response.

Here, there was nobody capable of accepting the decree.

The Sun Sword Master’s decree gradually faded and disappeared.

The sunlight filling the space gradually vanished, and the Sun Heavenly Palace regained its multitude of colors, Spiritual Energy and rules, as well as the flow of time began again.

The people of the Sun Heavenly Palace were still in a daze.

”Sword Child,”

”Preserving the Near Immortal Scriptures is not easy, and these juniors are not qualified to receive them, so they are now placed with the Sun Sword Child.”

The Tethering Silk Celestial looked at Gong Caiyu, as if speaking to her, or perhaps to someone else, and instructed: ”The complete Near Immortal Scripture is not the sect’s Supreme Classics ’Taiyin and Taiyang Sword Scripture,’ but rather the ’Heavenly Desolation Yang Mang Refining Heaven Scripture,’ a Body Refining Scripture obtained by the Yin Yang Ancestor through fortuitous encounters, which comes from an Immortal Sect that perished six great catastrophes ago.”

”This is not for you to cultivate, but to increase your knowledge and broaden your horizon.”

”The Sword Master does not want the path of Taiyin and Taiyang to interfere with the growth of the Great Sun Swordsmanship, nor does he wish to see an inferior imitation of the ’Great Sun Sword Sutra.’

”Finally, the Sword Master said, you cannot kill the Sun Sword Child.”

”Neither can the Taiyin Swordman.”
