Chapter 1377: Chapter 1345: Arrived at the Upper Realm Perishing Immortal Realm

After Han Lin, a cultivator spoke successively.

“Please command, Heavenly Monarch, let me sweep the four directions for you.”

Great Love Heavenly Monarch bowed to pay respect.

“Please give your instructions, Heavenly Monarch!”

Many powerful elder Nascent Soul Heavenly Monarchs expressed their stance one after another, without any dissent.

This made many newly appointed Heavenly Monarchs feel uneasy.

The Tushan Heavenly Monarch seemed to have sufficient emotion and mutual trust with his old friends, not completely relying on force to suppress and intimidate, so even though his true form is absent, they are willing to uphold Tushan Law.

“There’s no need.”

Jiang Ding said appreciatively.

“I am moved by everyone’s actions. It turns out that Tushan Central Court has its own vitality, unlike what I initially thought, solely relying on individual force to sustain.”

His Tushan Law began receiving genuine recognition and support from some cultivators, deeply rooting in this world.

Even if Tushan Central Court collapses in the future, there will surely be countless cultivators attempting to rebuild it because this order can unleash more productivity from cultivators, benefiting everyone.

“Lieyang, nothing significant, just as usual.”

“The branches have grown for thousands of years, they need trimming, otherwise they will grow crooked.”

Jiang Ding tossed a Jade Slip to Lieyang Heavenly Monarch: “Handle the people on this list, ensure fairness and transparency, do not wrongfully execute, do not affect other cultivators’ normal cultivation life.”

“Yes, Swordsman!”

Lieyang Heavenly Monarch accepted the Jade Slip, scanned it with Divine Sense, and showed a disappointed expression.

There wasn’t any Nascent Soul cultivator.

“You should also take a look at this.”

Jiang Ding once again handed out a Jade Slip, publicly sharing it with all Nascent Soul cultivators.

The information inside was known to all.

Immediately, the faces of three newly appointed Nascent Soul Heavenly Monarchs turned pale, especially Heavenly Monarch Xue Yuan, whose figure was even trembling.

“Blue Butterfly Heavenly Monarch, embezzlement, corruption, exploiting power for personal gain, punishment… imprisonment for a thousand years.”

“Lord Mudman, stealing ores… imprisonment for three hundred years, tripling the illegal profits as punishment…”

“Heavenly Lord Xue Yuan, refining Ice Crystal Pills using Water Spirit Root cultivators to enhance cultivation base, which harmed 130,000 Water Spirit Root cultivators, and 27 Heavenly Water Spiritual Root cultivators, evidence as follows…”

“…Death penalty!”

Clang!

Jiang Ding unsheathed his sword slowly, looking at Blue Butterfly Heavenly Monarch and Lord Mudman: “What do you two have to say?”

“I plead guilty!”

“I plead guilty, willing to accept punishment!”

Blue Butterfly Heavenly Monarch and Lord Mudman knelt on both knees, submitting to the law, without any intention to argue.

Jiang Ding then looked to the other side.

“Coward!”

“He is merely a clone!”

Heavenly Lord Xue Yuan showed a fierce expression, roaring: “We as Nascent Soul cultivators, how can we dwell below others for long? Today is the best opportunity, eventually this world will belong to us all…”

“Kill!”

Knowing she wouldn’t survive, she burned her Essence Blood and Divine Soul, merging with a crystal-clear Flying Sword, tearing through space towards that green-clothed youth.

The cold Sword Intent overwhelmed the sky and earth, already reaching the Realm of Refining Sword into Silk, polished for a long time, with extremely excellent Sword Dao talent.

At this moment, Qingyun Heavenly Monarch Han Lin, Colorful Jade Heavenly Monarch, Ye Yue Heavenly Monarch, and others had their Divine Sense tense, prepared to rescue, as the emotions spanning five thousand years were not void, but indeed tangible.

Clang!

A sound of sword ringing.

Jiang Ding sheathed his sword and turned to leave.

Behind him, Heavenly Lord Xue Yuan’s body stiffened, the Ice Crystal Flying Sword froze, detaching from the state of being one with the sword, with a faint sword mark on her forehead, eyes lifeless, no longer showing a trace of vitality.

Crash!

The cold corpse fell to the ground, breaking branches, splashing up a cloud of dust.

She was dead.

“This sword…”

Great Love Heavenly Monarch, Ice Snow Heavenly Monarch, Lou Xi Heavenly Monarch and others had their pupils shrink.

Afterward, they deeply paid respect to the departing figure, even though he was merely a clone.

…

The process of ascension seemed very long.

Traversing extremely distant space, even from Jiang Ding’s perspective, it was despairingly far, perhaps taking a lifetime to travel without soaring over this distance, let alone encountering various strange dangers along the way, the gigantic terror akin to stars, wandering in the endless starry sky, never pausing, of unknown strangeness.

There was also an endless blood river spanning the starry sky, countless ghosts emerging from the blood river, merely taking a glance leaves the body and Divine Soul blank, shivering continuously…

Such occurrences make one’s blood run cold.

The process of ascension seemed very brief.

In just a moment, Jiang Ding was walking on the infinite staircase, and before he knew it, found himself within a unimaginably colossal star.

Even a Medium Thousand World is insignificant, like dust, in front of this star.

Numerous rules intertwined among the stars, forming a halo-like band.

Jiang Ding momentarily doubted whether this was a star or a whole cosmic starry sky.

“The Great Thousand World…”

Jiang Ding took a deep breath.

He wasn’t completely ignorant of the Upper Realm.

Over four thousand years ago, Xi Yuan’s avatar had slain two heavily injured Harmonization God Monarchs in their human forms from the Northern Plains Small Thousand World. He then captured a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect Supreme Elder’s Nascent Soul from the Upper Realm, forcibly performed soul searching, obtained its memories, and gifted them to his son Xi Ping’an.

Simultaneously, Xi Yuan made a transaction with Jiang Ding.

He used a copy of the Upper Realm’s Refining Nothingness memories as a bargaining chip to write off past grudges with Xi Ping’an, to which Jiang Ding agreed.

The Upper Realm held a great allure for Jiang Ding.

From the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect Supreme Elder’s soul memory, there was an introduction to the Great Thousand World.

The Great Thousand World, cornerstone of the True Immortal Court!

It is said that in the Endless Universe Starry Sky, only an existence of True Immortal Level can actually control the Great Thousand World and make it one of their Immortal Court’s supports.

Other than True Immortals, even Near Immortal Level forces cannot affect the Great Thousand World in any way.

The Great Thousand World inevitably has the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao.

This is a world consciousness formed by countless lives over countless ages, without good or evil. Any force trying to covet the Great Thousand World, aiming to control the heavens and life, will inevitably face destruction.

For this reason, even Immortal Sects cannot fully control the Great Thousand World.

In Jiang Ding’s heart, various pieces of intel came to mind.

In the next moment, he fully immersed himself into the massive star, disappeared from sight, began being embraced by the Great Thousand World, and fell towards a certain part of the earth.

Simultaneously, an intense pain, strong enough to drive a Nascent Soul Cultivator mad and unconscious, surged from his body and divine soul.

“Ascension Platform rules, ascension baptism…”

Jiang Ding’s eyelids twitched, his body trembled.

This pain from the soul and body instantly surpassed the instincts of flesh and blood, triggering his soul’s self-protection mechanisms, threatening to render him unconscious and lose awareness.

According to the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect’s intel, the Great Thousand World is baptizing ascension cultivators, blessing them, enhancing the potential of their divine soul and body, and granting various benefits.

This traces back to the remnants left by the Immortal Court that once ruled here millions of years ago!

Clang!

The Sword Intent of Destruction from the Great Sun lightly hummed, forcibly obliterating his body’s self-protection desire to fall into unconsciousness.

Jiang Ding’s body shivered.

He refused to lose consciousness. No matter the situation, even his body’s instincts couldn’t affect him, change him, or force him into doing things he didn’t want to do.

Who knows how much time passed.

This transformation of body and divine soul slowly concluded.

Simultaneously, a land filled with mountains and thunder marshes came into Jiang Ding’s view, completely enveloping his pallid face and feeble breath.

“…Blood Sea Heaven… The ninth seventy-second Great Realm…”

A broken voice attempted to reach Jiang Ding’s ears, but it was like broken gears, incomplete, unable to convey its message.

At this moment, the rules of the Ascension Platform exhibited some disturbance.

Boom!

The figure was slammed into the earth, breaking through layers deep, penetrating hundreds of kilometers into the ground.

“Unlucky!”

“This is truly unpleasant.”

After a moment, Jiang Ding staggered out of the crater, covered in dust and sporting multiple facial wounds.

He was already injured from the ascension baptism, and now being smashed into the earth compounded his injuries, leaving him in a severely damaged state with only a tenth of his strength remaining.

Out of instinct, Jiang Ding instantly concealed his form, swiftly moving away to avoid being discovered by the Perishing Immortal Realm’s powerhouses.

“This isn’t enough.”

“Virtually impossible to find a safe place for recovery.”

Within the depths of space, Jiang Ding’s divine soul rapidly spun: “This area is the realm of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect because the Beiyuan Small Realm is the Lower Realm of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect. Any cultivator who ascends will ascend here.”

“The current issue is that ascension cultivators inherently have a ‘Innate True Spirit Qi,’ derived from the ascension baptism.”

“Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect possesses a special treasure for tracking ‘Innate True Spirit Qi.’ They can find me, no matter where I escape.”

“I need to kill them as quickly as possible.”

“And smash that special artifact.”
