Chapter 1967: Chapter 1967
Jiang Ding gazed at the Taiqing Flying Sword in his hand.
This was a beam of light, a colorless solar radiance, crossing countless ages from the Dharma-Ending City Era to descend into the present world.
If you shift your angle, you can vaguely see the nine-colored hue; the essence of light is a synthesis of multiple colors.
Just like his Great Dao, it has absorbed useful things encountered from the Xianmen Sect, Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, Ancient God Ancestor Master, Nine-leaf Sword Grass, Six Dao Reincarnation, merging into his Great Dao and becoming his own.
At this moment, the Taiqing Flying Sword has gone through two instances of Flying Sword Nirvana within the Nine Heavens Ascension Sword Crafting Skills.
"You have been somewhat diminished, encountering such opponents..."
Jiang Ding muttered softly.
Battling with such opponents brings no joy in combat, just like slaughter, this is not the exciting life of a sword cultivator.
The Taiqing Flying Sword gently hummed in agreement.
It trembled again, making sounds, as if saying something.
"Material existence is objective, the richness of the treasures these Taoist disciples use far surpasses any I’ve seen, indeed ruling the Endless Universe Starry Sky, capable of obtaining top Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure we struggled a lifetime to see in our era even through equivalent exchange."
This is exactly the reason why the Taiqing Flying Sword underwent a metamorphosis.
The Taiqing Flying Sword inherently synthesizes unique Immortal Dao Material and has its own propulsion, growing by absorbing Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, unlike these Dao Fruit Daoists, but if supplemented by external Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, naturally this process can accelerate.
Moreover, the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure within the Time Rift cannot be equated with the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of the present world.
Many things are from ages past, usable here, but once leaving the Time Rift, will vanish instantly, even if already merged into the self, because these Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure are not recorded in history.
For present-world creatures, things not recorded in history are illusions, unable to merge with oneself.
There’s one exception, historical figures, or well-known treasures that disappeared from history and haven’t appeared in the present world.
These are the things present-world creatures can bring back to the present world.
Congfa Daoist, Heavenly Horse Daoist and others are such historical figures.
Don’t be fooled by their weakness like chickens, they were crucial in the historical progression of the Perishing Immortal Realm, Heavenly Beast Garden Ancestor Master joined hands with many to slay Heavenly Horse Daoist, the future Heavenly Horse Venerable, thereby establishing the foundation of Heavenly Beast Garden, founding an era of lasting Immortal Sect prosperity.
It’s said Heavenly Beast Garden Ancestor Master was once a trusted servant under Heavenly Horse Daoist.
"Supposed treasures, if not at True Immortal Level, are not important."
"True preciousness lies in knowledge, once acquired, it’s mine, untouchable by any."
Jiang Ding glanced over the storage bags of sixteen Taoist disciples.
Those must contain astonishing wealth, far exceeding any Taoist disciples he had captured before, although unreachable in the present world, nor can it be refined into the flying sword, it is indeed regretful.
However, there’s no need to be overly saddened.
The most precious quasi-immortal level treasure is his own flying sword, his own sparks of wisdom, far surpassing these Immortal Dynasty nobles in value.
Currently, what’s most crucial for Jiang Ding is the perfection and revision of Seven Emotions and Six Desires Destruction Method Feathering Great Sun Sword Soul Embryo, requiring a batch of knowledgeable Immortal Tao Scientists and multiple Divine Soul Computers.
Jiang Ding connected sixteen Divine Soul Computers, continuing to infer Seven Emotions and Six Desires Destruction Method Feathering Great Sun Sword Soul Embryo, indeed realizing a two-to-three-fold increase in inference speed.
The myriad Immortal Dynasty legacies contained in the Sea of Consciousness of Congfa Daoist and others have provided him immense assistance.
Knowledge from this era, like the Seven Treasures Miao Tree Array, and many cultivation methods, are indeed exceptionally complete, excellent, their understanding of the Immortal Path far exceeds other forces, greatly aiding him.
Though releasing the inheritance restrictions within the Divine Soul is rather troublesome, difficult to achieve.
Actually, Jiang Ding does not directly peek into the Immortal Dynasty legacy, rather in the Dream Realm, he repeatedly fights against Congfa Daoist and others, observing their Army Formation utilization methods, the Mana circulation in meridians, how the Divine Sense mobilizes Spiritual Energy and rules, thereby deriving cultivation methods and Army Formation.
Such cultivation methods and Army Formation are naturally scattered, lacking systemic organization, like many study notes, difficult to form a true legacy to be passed down.
However, as research material, it’s already sufficient.
Jiang Ding has no intention to cultivate Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Dynasty’s methods, all is to propel his Great Dao forward, the path of Ten Thousand Laws Ancient Emperor does not suit him.
Knowledge, it is knowledge he needs.
"Sutra Pavilion is a treasure trove, can’t be missed."
Jiang Ding revealed a look of yearning.
He rose, entering Anyun Protectorate’s Sutra Pavilion, layer upon layer of Formation Method unfolded before him, without any need for destructive attack.
As the core of Immortal Path Forces, Anyun Protectorate’s Sutra Pavilion is vast boundlessly, seemingly holding these legacies within a world.
Jiang Ding’s eyes sparkled brightly.
Entering here, it’s akin to entering a granary.
Now this is truly a treasure!
Fighting and competing for Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, what’s the use? The crystalized wisdom of human ancestors is the true treasure, these books will not lose their brilliance through eternal ages.
Presently, except for a few cultivation methods protected by Immortal Dynasty restrictions, all cultivation methods within the Sutra Pavilion can be freely read, no restrictions can hold back!
Jiang Ding revealed an expression of bliss, momentarily enamored, forgetting external matters.
Time slowly passed, the green-clothed youth was like a statue.
He stood dazedly, intoxicated in the Sutra Pavilion of Anyun Protectorate, his sword soul operating at full capacity, skimming over each text, reading deeply, comprehending deeply, seeking thorough understanding, striving to fully digest every text, greedy yet insatiable.
The external hustle and bustle, the battles, do not concern him at all, no need for any attention, he’s wholly engrossed in extracting the crystalized wisdom of the human race during Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Dynasty’s era.
This glorious era, though its late stage decayed, the brilliance once displayed by their ancestors cannot be ignored, this brilliance endures, blessing subsequent generations of human descendants, not limited to a solitary family or surname, just as these ancestors received historical wisdom from even more distant ancestors.
At this moment, a magnificent cycle of the race appeared here.
A hundred years, three hundred years,
A thousand years, three thousand years...
Jiang Ding was enraptured within, absorbing the radiant wisdom crystallized by the Immortal Dynasty’s Immortal Path, pouring into his Divine Soul, becoming part of his Immortal Path foundation, resolving many difficulties from past Sword Dao research, inheriting the wisdom of human ancestors, avoiding redundant research.
Gradually as time flowed by, an aura of transcendence emerged from him.
This process of learning, comprehending cultivation texts, forgetting self and material, sustained for over five thousand years.
The aura of transcendence emanating from Dari Swordsman became increasingly intense.
