Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 2199: Chapter 2166: The Sword Immortal Regards All Things as Mere Chattel

Many Sword Dao Venerables of the Human Race suddenly relaxed.

They were no longer reserved or uneasy.

The Sword Immortal truly lived up to his name. Interacting with him, there was no pressure, just like casually chatting with a friend in the Sword Dao, without any sense of superiority or imperial majesty, just an ordinary Sword Cultivator.

Today you are stronger, you should be the True Immortal.

In the future, if I am stronger, should I not be the True Immortal?

It’s just so straightforward, no need for any acquired high status or inherent sacredness and supreme nobility. Sword Cultivators rank by the sword, discerning high and low by the sword.

”Fellow Taoist of the Heavenly Dao,”

”In my view, your cultivation base in the Sword Dao is the highest among the Heavenly Sword Venerables. Would you be willing to discuss the sword with me?”

Jiang Ding looked at the Sword Cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Star Domain with some interest, and spoke.

The unique Sword Dao from a foreign land always brings novelty, perhaps offering better perspectives and ideas.

”Sword Master, this...”

The Heavenly Dao Sword Venerable was extremely agitated, and after a moment, he smiled bitterly.

He had always been very confident, looking down upon the four major star domains, and even believed he had a one-in-a-hundred chance when confronting the True Immortal. But now, having truly seen it, he lost his confidence.

”No worries, let’s enjoy this together.”

Jiang Ding noticed his concern and reassured him.

”Truly?”

The Heavenly Dao Sword Venerable’s eyes lit up.

Clang!

In fact, he couldn’t wait for a response and had already drawn his sword to charge forward, like a hungry dog pouncing on food.

This sword strike was like the vastness of the Heavenly Dao, formless and intangible, carrying terrifyingly violent killing intent, omnipresent, penetrating the Divine Soul and the marrow of beings, like the wrath of the Heavenly Dao.

This sword strike achieved the pinnacle of both the rule power and the Sword Cultivator’s personal mastery of the sword, swordsmanship, Sword Intent, and Sword Soul. The killing intent was extremely violent, as if facing a lifelong enemy, with no sense of sparring.

Many Sword Dao Venerables held their breath, watching this sword strike.

Clang!

Jiang Ding also drew his sword.

This strike was neither hot nor cold, with the sword containing one-tenth of the mana and Divine Sense Sword Intent from the Heavenly Dao Sword Venerable’s strike. The sharpness of the Annihilation Flying Sword was also not evident, only reaching one-tenth of the Heavenly Dao Sword, yet the disparity was vast, and theoretically, it should have been severed immediately.

Ting!

Ting ting ting...

The two flying swords danced in the air, clashing millions of times in an instant.

Even though the speed was so fast, exceeding the reaction speed limit of an ordinary venerator’s Divine Sense, everything was clear and distinct. All Sword Cultivators could witness every detail of the two flying swords, from their slashes to the operation of the rule power on the sword, the application of the rule branch power, the condensation, and concentration of Sword Intent... all of it was imprinted in the Divine Souls of many Sword Cultivators.

Just by watching for a while, many Sword Dao Venerables showed expressions of fervor.

They saw that the flying sword, with only one-tenth of the Heavenly Dao Sword’s aura, executed slashes, chops, and thrusts with extreme precision. Even though it had only one-tenth of the opponent’s strength, it was able to concentrate sharper forces, severing at every Swordsmanship node of the opponent, using one to break ten thousand.

It was as if creating something out of nothing, akin to a miracle and creation.

This was the pinnacle of Swordsmanship!

This was Swordsmanship approaching that of an Immortal!

Clang!

The two flying swords clashed countless times, then with a clang, both flying swords retreated dozens of steps, neither sustaining any damage, without even severing a single strand of hair.

”Thank you, Sword Master, for your guidance!”

The Heavenly Dao Sword Venerable showed a respectful expression.

He knew he had lost, and lost miserably, yet he felt no discouragement, for he gained immense insight from this instructional Sword Fight, achieving a breakthrough in Swordsmanship that had been stuck for five hundred thousand years.

”Haha!”

”Fellow Daoists, why not draw your swords?”

Jiang Ding laughed heartily.

The various Sword Arts of the Heavenly Sword Star Domain also gave him much enlightenment, inspiring some thoughts within.

”Yes!”

”Sword Master!”

Many Sword Dao Venerables were overjoyed.

Clang!

Clang clang clang!

One by one, the flying swords of the Sword Dao Venerables unsheathed, with Evil Qi soaring to the sky, like undying enemies, spontaneously forming a Heavenly Dao Sword Formation to attack the green-clothed youth in the sky.

The flying swords surged like tides, the Sword Qi like water, filling the entire sky.

”Excellent!”

Jiang Ding drew his sword, engaging the many Sword Dao Venerables alone with one sword.

He slashed with one sword, and despite it being a single strike, all the Supremes felt as if this sword was cutting toward them, causing their minds to tighten involuntarily.

Many flying swords formed a mist-like Sword Formation, clashing with a glowing flying sword.

The tinkling sound of sword blades clashing was as melodious as raindrops in a spring, echoing in the empty valley.

It was unclear how long it lasted, but as the Taiqing Flying Sword struck again, all the flying swords of the many Sword Dao Venerables retreated, precisely falling into the scabbards of each respective Supreme.

The many Sword Dao Venerables fell into a trance, with great realizations.

”The Sword Dao,”

”With sharpness and speed, using the sword to lever the power of heaven and earth, only the sword and myself...”

Jiang Ding spoke clearly and eloquently, sharing his understanding of the Sword Dao.

At the same time, he offered his thoughts and opinions to the many Sword Dao Venerables, suggesting what Sword Dao Techniques they should further comprehend, which Immortal Path classics to read, and so on, providing his recommendations.

For a long time.

The palace quieted down, and the last sound of the Sword Dao’s Sound dissipated.

Only then did the Heavenly Dao Sword Venerable, the Heavenly Tribulation Sword Venerable, and other Sword Dao Venerables awaken from their daze, collectively bowing in salute: ”Thank you, Sword Master, for teaching the Dao!”

Their hearts were filled with gratitude.

This single sermon surpassed countless life-and-death struggles in the Sword Dao!

A great opportunity!

This was a great opportunity from the Sword Immortal to the Sword Cultivators!

”It is all due to the profound accumulations of you all,”

”I merely provided a little guidance at the doorsteps.”

Jiang Ding waved his hand, saying: ”You are all Elites in the world’s Sword Dao, talented and outstanding. Since you have come to me, then rest assured and cultivate.”

”If you wish to engage in Sword Fights and battles, then go to the front line;”

”If you wish to explore the Immortal Dao Research in the endless cosmic starry sky, then work in the Great Dream Sword Realm;”

”If you seek Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures, wealth to pass on to your descendants, then you can also venture into business... you can do anything, depending entirely on your thoughts. I will treat everyone equally.”

”What the Supremes of the Beidou Star Domain have, you will also have.”

”Now, do you believe these words, fellow Daoists?”

Jiang Ding asked with a smile.

”We believe!”

”Sword Master!”

The Heavenly Dao Sword Venerable and others responded without hesitation.

If the True Immortal Wanfa said this, they would have responded the same, but not truly believed in their hearts.

Under the leadership of the True Immortal Wanfa, the best opportunities were bound to be given to the Ten Thousand Laws Royal Family and the direct lineage of the True Immortal, then gradually spread to various cultivators like a tiered system. Naturally, they, being new adherents, would rank much lower in this hierarchy.

This was a common human sentiment, and they did not feel it unfair.

However, with the Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy, they immediately believed these words.

This is the mutual understanding between Sword Cultivators.

This is the supreme fairness and justice of the Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy.

Of course, fairness and justice is a positive interpretation, while a more neutral expression would be, heaven and earth are impartial, regarding all things as straw dogs!

The Sword Immortal does not give special treatment to any Sword Cultivator, only favoring stronger and more excellent Sword Cultivators, with minimal private favoritism.
