Capítulo 1978: Chapter 1946: The Demon Empress of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Dynasty
Huang Huo Sword Son longingly and excitedly looked forward to it.
He didn’t know how other Taoist disciples felt when they arrived at the Time Rift, but he came here to find more Seventh-step Taoist disciples, to engage in life-and-death battles, and to pave the way toward the Eight-step Extreme.
The expressions of other Magic Cultivators turned somewhat unsightly.
They didn’t want to get trapped in endless wars, with no sight of victory.
However, they were not afraid of war. Everything must be seized amid war, and this holds true even for Magic Cultivation; there just can’t be war for the sake of war.
“We should plan carefully and act accordingly.”
The Hehuan Holy Maiden advised, “The current situation is unclear, the terrain is uncertain. We should formulate a comprehensive strategy and choose the best timing; only then should we enter the battlefield.”
“A comprehensive strategy?”
“Such a thing as a comprehensive strategy doesn’t exist.”
Huang Huo Sword Son chuckled and said, “Since ancient times, those who established great achievements did so by overcoming obstacles. For us Sword Cultivators, the greater the difficulty, the greater the strength we gain from honing our edge. Even if the situation is against us, what of it?”
“Just draw the sword and fight till death.”
“Those who advance gain everything, those who fail lose everything!”
This was an ambitious advocate for war, eager to gain everything from it, as if war itself was his opportunity.
Huang Huo Sword Son thought of something and said, “According to a secret record from our sect, it seems there’s a force within the Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Palace during this era closely related to the Hehuan Holy Land. This force has deeply and secretly participated in the ‘Mad Venerable’s Chaos,’ this wretched person must know something.”
He made no effort to conceal his disdain and hatred for the Hehuan Holy Maiden.
Jiang Ding quietly looked at the Hehuan Holy Maiden.
“I was just about to mention this.”
The Hehuan Holy Maiden’s heart skipped a beat, and she smiled, “The current Ten Thousand Laws Emperor Weizi Cheng’s mother is nominally a palace maid, but she is actually a child of the current Hehuan Venerable, representing the interests of the Hehuan Holy Land. The Hehuan Holy Land gained enormous benefits from Weizi Cheng’s ascension.”
“Unfortunately, later on, the Hehuan Venerable was defeated by the Beidou Venerable, leading to Weizi Cheng being deposed.”
A cold and palpable murderous intent appeared in her Divine Soul, threatening to tear apart her Sea of Consciousness and annihilate her Divine Soul, before slowly receding.
The Hehuan Holy Maiden knew this was a warning.
The first and also the last warning.
If it happened again, the cost would be paid in blood and death.
“Ha ha ha, that’s not all.”
Huang Huo Sword Son delightedly laughed, “After being deposed, the fact that Weizi Cheng could successfully escape and connect with the Divine Demon Alliance Army must have been all thanks to the Hehuan Holy Land.”
“These people are adept at selling out the Human Race!”
“Betrayal would be understandable, but looking at the Hehuan Holy Land’s current sorry state, they didn’t even gain any significant benefits back then; they’re truly worthless.”
“The Immortal Dynasty is doomed, and evil spirits will appear; the Hehuan Holy Land, the Beidou Holy Land are just such malevolent entities sowing chaos in the world.”
Various Taoist disciples voiced their opinions noisily, expressing diverse viewpoints.
Generally speaking, Magic Cultivation Taoist disciples advocated preparing thoroughly before choosing the optimal moment to join the slaughter in the Endless Starry Sky, uniting more Human Taoist disciples, and rallying the momentum to suppress all celestial foes.
Sword Cultivators were more inclined to enter the fray now, causing massive upheaval.
Finally, everything quieted down.
Huang Huo Sword Son was filled with confidence.
The Hehuan Holy Maiden and other Magic Cultivators felt uneasy and anxious, but helplessly resigned.
“I understand your points.”
“I will consider them seriously.”
Jiang Ding did not respond outright.
Although his response was vague, the inclination was clear, given he didn’t immediately start preparing for war; the Magic Cultivators’ strategy prevailed.
Huang Huo Sword Son was utterly shocked.
The Hehuan Holy Maiden and others brightened up.
This should have been anticipated.
He was back during the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Pivot; this Sword Son liked to mingle with Magic Cultivators, a distinctly different style from many other Sword Cultivators.
“I mentioned earlier, there are tasks for you to do.”
“Now I’m making arrangements as follows,”
Jiang Ding didn’t care what these Taoist disciples thought, saying calmly.
The Taoist disciples put aside their various thoughts and sat up straight.
“First, immediately begin the development work on the ‘Seven Emotions and Six Desires Destruction Method Feathering Great Sun Sword Soul Embryo.’ I’ll tell you what to do; the development divides into two main groups: the Sword Group responsible for Swordsmanship and Sword Dao, and the Method Group responsible for the general Cultivation Method structure.”
“Hehuan Fellow Daoist will lead the Method Group, and Huang Huo will lead the Sword Group.”
“This is the top priority, more important than the so-called contention in the Endless Starry Sky, above all else.”
Jiang Ding took out a Jade Slip and handed it to them, unconcerned about his core Cultivation Method being leaked.
“Seven Emotions and Six Desires Destruction Method Feathering Great Sun Sword Soul Embryo?”
The Hehuan Holy Maiden and Huang Huo Sword Son shuddered at the name, instinctively sensing the extreme danger of this Cultivation Method.
Under the Divine Sense Scanning, their Sea of Consciousness churned, giving rise to Internal Demons that were truly terrifying.
This is a Cultivation Method?!
This is not a curse technique!
“It does have some minor risks.”
“Just take proper precautions, the issue is not significant.”
Jiang Ding said pleasantly.
Huang Huo Sword Son and others reluctantly agreed, not daring to refuse.
In fact, Dari Swordsman’s expectations were not for them to plan any grand strategy but to handle the detailed research of specific Cultivation Method branches, which was within their capability.
“Initially, each group consists only of you Taoist disciples.”
“But over the years, many Sword Cultivators will emerge following this path. They will join your ranks, assisting you, and I will provide guidelines on how to utilize them.”
Jiang Ding said calmly.
He had repeatedly organized cultivators from outside Xianmen Sect into Immortal Path research projects, establishing research institutions from scratch multiple times; this was not an issue.
“Hehuan Fellow Daoist, within a millennium, rebuild my Tushan Maiden Corps.”
Jiang Ding handed over a Jade Slip, titled “Tushan Maiden Code of Conduct — Gong Caiyu.”
This was the inheritance of the Tushan Maidens, involving Cultivation Methods, Swordsmanship, Army Formation, Political Work, and other abilities, serving as a crucial extension of the Great Sun Swordsman’s will and governance philosophy.
The Hehuan Holy Maiden curiously took it, contemplated briefly, and agreed.
“Please establish an external intelligence agency for infiltration; this agency should continuously infiltrate the Endless Starry Sky, collecting intelligence, with the core mission of spreading the ‘Supreme Great Sun Sword Scripture’ legacy.”
Jiang Ding said calmly.
This kind of intelligence agency was the forte of the Hehuan Holy Land; she possessed sufficient professional capability, requiring no more guidance, only a delineation of function.
The Hehuan Holy Maiden responded confidently.
