Chapter 1285: Chapter 1253: The Refining Void Space Tribulation of the Taiqing Flying Sword

Xianmen’s Mother Planet, the Moon.

From the Divine Wood Sky Covering Banyan of the mother planet, a root and trunk resembling a star bridge extended, landing upon the Moon, which has been praised by countless scholars and poets since ancient times, providing the Moon with spiritual energy support.

When necessary, the Moon can sever its connection with Xianmen’s Mother Planet and exist independently, transforming into an independent planetary-level war fortress.

During peaceful times, it serves as the construction site for high-standard laboratories of potential danger for the Xianmen Sect.

However, at first glance, the Moon still appears as a desolate and barren wasteland with little visible change.

This is mandated by Xianmen’s ‘Material Cultural Heritage Committee’, which prohibits any organization or individual from transforming the Moon—a vessel for the deep emotional connection of Xianmen citizens—into a picturesque human-world paradise.

Jiang Ding walked silently across the desolate landscape of the Moon.

The vacuum and zero-gravity environment posed no hindrance to him as he traversed the Moon for tens of minutes, eventually arriving near the material cultural heritage landmark known as the ‘Heavenly Ship Base’.

Heavenly Ship Base is the site where Chang’e-5 landed on the Moon during the previous civilization era. It suffered destruction when Great Sun Sword Pavilion invaded the mother planet during the XiYuan Era. Currently restored, it has become a Grade Two Xianmen tourism site.

In truth, there isn’t much to see here—just a crater.

If not for the marker, the designated protective zone, and the collection of reconstructed spacecraft relics, nobody would notice even if they stepped directly onto it.

Jiang Ding stopped 1,700 meters east of the spacecraft base. He paused briefly, verified his identity, and entered.

His vision blurred.

A scene of a cold, lifeless starry sky appeared before him, where endless warships dominated the heavens, starry sky cities stood in multitude, and starry sky humans moved to and fro within them.

At that moment, sensing an unfamiliar presence, the starry civilization’s stellar defense systems activated. Countless warships turned their cannons, bright points of annihilation gathering one by one, uniting through the omnipresent electromagnetic order web of the human world, fusing human strength into a singularity.

Boom!

An incomparably terrifying and brilliant sword-light blasted downward, illuminating the entire starry sky as it targeted the unexpected presence.

Jiang Ding stared directly at this assault.

He allowed this attack, which vaguely crossed the boundaries of order and rules, to traverse his body like an illusory shadow, only to land within the endless sea of stars. It tore open vast swathes of space and twisted countless layers of rules.

Surprisingly, the world did not face destruction. Under the influence of a certain crystallization of dazzling immortal wisdom, all energy remained within the world, circulating with minimal loss.

Even power far superior to this attack, if introduced to this world, would neither destroy it nor overcome it. Instead, the world would absorb and digest the fearsome energy, transforming it into momentum for its cyclical flow and propelling itself into the next cycle of reincarnation.

Now, myriad plants and animals surrounding him grew, mutated, and finally coalesced into a cold, sharp sword-light…

The world engaged in perpetual cycles of reincarnation—primordial magnetism, mutation, destruction, forbidden law versus elimination methods, Sword Dao. No matter how excessive the attack compared to the world’s limits, it would fail to breach it, ultimately being eroded within these endless cycles until fading away completely.

This is the legacy of the Starry Sky Dominant Human Race, the Six Paths Reincarnation Structure!

Such legacy naturally aligns with the Human Race.

Humans need only a fraction—one-tenth, even one-hundredth—of the difficulty faced by other races to master it, akin to an acquired, artificially designed racial talent.

Yet, even with such low difficulty, it remains relative.

Only the peerless Heavenly Prides who stand above dozens of domains are eligible to touch it, contingent upon their individual talent, fate, fortune, and alignment.

This existence is too transcendent.

Within the starry sky, the Six Paths Order and Six Paths Reincarnation World endlessly rotate. Under the immense computational power of the Central Array Spirit Computer, they undergo constant correction and adjustment. Fragmentation and destruction of local worlds at intervals produce new magical data, initiating yet another cycle of recalibration.

So far, the colossal computational capacity of the Central Array Spirit Computer has been dedicated here for centuries, expending more than ten Void Refining battle merits solely for simulation calculations.

Jiang Ding’s own Divine Soul has continuously monitored this area—adjusting, calibrating, comprehending—never ceasing his efforts.

Finally, today, he reached a result.

In the starry sky, that endlessly cycling and rotating Six Paths World finally achieved an incomparably harmonious and natural balance. Its power surged, far surpassing any point in the past, and the Six Paths Reincarnation World became stable, showing no further signs of collapse.

“It’s done, it’s done…”

Jiang Ding exclaimed joyfully.

The Six Paths Reincarnation World gradually stabilized, and then all spiritual light dissipated, revealing a simple and ancient rune radiating a faint chaotic aura.

This is the Great Sun Heavenly Monarch·Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Talisman!

This represents a profound transformation within the Six Paths Order, an evolution of its structure into a configuration that precipitates a fundamental metamorphosis!

In this moment, the Six Paths Order underwent a change akin to transforming charcoal into diamond. Though it remained composed entirely of carbon atoms, without any material alteration, its hardness elevated to an entirely different level.

To embody the form of order, comparable to the rules themselves!

Clang!

Clang, clang!

The Taiqing Flying Sword abruptly unsheathed, letting out a gentle hum.

Within the sword, the Great Sun Destructive Force from the Six Paths Order was surrounded by the other five orders in a rapid and violent metamorphosis, striving toward a higher level of transformation—a leap to elevate the Flying Sword’s tier.

Boom!

In the sky, serpents of lightning danced—manifestations of the Thunder Rules. Then, rolling dark clouds gathered, blanketing the heavens’ stars, plunging the cosmos into absolute darkness without a trace of light remaining.

The Rule Thunder Tribulation had emerged!

The terrifying pressure promptly put the entire Xianmen Sect into battle readiness.

Yet, chaos did not ensue. Everything had been previously reported, and figures like Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch and Gu Lin Heavenly Monarch held their breath, gazing at the sky where dark clouds spanned a hundred thousand kilometers of the starry sky, trembling inwardly.

This Heavenly Tribulation’s pressure even faintly surpassed that involved in Void Refining Thunder Tribulations of the past!

“Yue’s apprehensions were not misplaced.”

“He is increasingly nearing the former Great Sun Sword Master…”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch endured the Heavenly Tribulation’s oppression on his Divine Soul as he whispered to the nearby Celestial Lords of Immortal Gate, “From Early Nascent Soul nearing Mid Nascent Soul, his Life Treasure already begins to evolve into a Refining Void Space Treasure!”

“He is on the verge of grasping Refining Void Power. Though it may not allow him to slay Refining Nothingness Cultivators outright, he’s becoming an unignorable presence within the Refining Void realm.”

“In the XiYuan Era, at Early Stage of God Transformation, he could not achieve this. Otherwise, the Nine Great Immortal Sects would have stood no chance of winning the Sun Extinguisher War…”

“This fills me with both joy and concern.”

“No, you should be joyful.”

“Don’t overthink.”

Gu Lin Heavenly Monarch lightly shook his head, disagreeing. “The Great Sun Heavenly Monarch of Xianmen is emerging strong, further expanding Xianmen’s foundation, further strengthening its security. This is an enormous blessing.”

“You’re right, it truly is.”

“Though I suggest strengthening Xianmen’s internal security measures once again…”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch addressed the surrounding Celestial Lords, his intentions blatantly transparent in this righteous conspiracy.
