Chapter 1477: Chapter 1445: Taiyin, Useless Thing

The Heavenly Calculator Daoist was engaged in a calculating duel with a young man in hemp clothes, sweat pouring from his forehead, nearing his limits.

However, he could still answer Jiang Ding’s questions normally.

“It can distinguish a winner.”

“Even righteous sects have cold competition, though they don’t advocate physical elimination.”

The Heavenly Calculator Daoist explained: “For example, in the Green Wood Immortal Sect, if Liuyue Zi were to fail in the struggle and face imminent death, she could choose to relinquish her title as a Daoist disciple and submit to the victor, usually securing her life.”

“After submitting, the essence from the trunk of her Life Treasure, the Cangqing Divine Wood, would flow to the victor, as if she had spent millennia refining it to benefit another.”

“Very cruel.”

“However, compared to the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace, which often exterminates entire clans, it’s already far better.”

“Our Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace is similar, except we place great emphasis on the path of Heavenly Mechanism Inference. If my Heavenly Mechanism Inference surpasses his, I would have a tremendous advantage in battle, often being able to predict the enemy’s moves ahead of time, easily overcoming stronger opponents.”

“I see.”

Jiang Ding was enlightened.

Not long after, Ji Liuyue and Qinggu Daozi completed their courtesy rituals before stepping back with a defeated look.

Next were the battles between the Wanshou Immortal Sect Daoist and the Qiongqi Immortal Sect Daoist, as well as An Tuzi from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect and the Five Qi Immortal Sect Daoist, the Dan Ding Immortal Sect Daoist and the Heavenly Pill Immortal Sect Daoist…

They mostly stopped at a point, without the lethal confrontations seen in the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace.

The slight exception was the Shadow Demon Abyss Daoist and the No Light Heavenly Sect Daoist, who kept hiding, appearing only to vanish without a trace, unknown what they were doing but no one had died yet.

At this time, under many gazes, Taiyou Sword Child and Bright Sword Child from the Youming Sword Cave Heaven approached Jiang Ding and Yu Qianzi.

“Great Sun Sword Child…”

Taiyou Sword Child was a graceful and beautiful woman; she looked at the green-clothed youth before her, and spoke softly: “Why betray the Taiyin Sun Alliance?”

“The legend of Sun Sword Child and Taiyin Sword Child supporting each other, becoming near-immortal-level powerhouses, and ascending the True Immortal Path together, has always been circulated within the sect. Is it not good?”

“Pure Yang lacks, Pure Yin lacks.”

“All things in the world, natural things, have various defects, but between Taiyin and Taiyang, mutual compensation, mutual combination, becomes a perfect entity.”

“Such creation, how can one bear to abandon it?”

She expressed incomprehension, regret, and… hatred.

It seemed every female cultivator of the Taiyin lineage had this special method upon meeting a Great Sun Sword Cultivator; they could distinctly know the deeds of the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master.

“Alas,”

“Yu Qianzi sister, you’ve suffered.”

Taiyou Sword Child looked at the cold-hearted girl far apart from the Great Sun Sword Child, with pity.

Yu Qianzi’s expression was indifferent, with no response.

“Why so?”

“Because Taiyin and Taiyang are weak.”

“Taiyang is sufficient, can entirely seek nothing from outside, Taiyin is useless.”

Jiang Ding said indifferently.

Great Sun Swordsmanship was one of his core paths.

In his view, the Taiyin and Taiyang Dual Cultivation Sword Dao was entirely weak, fearing the challenges on the path which could have served as sharpening stones, missing countless Sword Dao opportunities.

So-called Yin Yang complementation was merely a shortcut now; in the future of the Immortal Path, it would inevitably be repaid tenfold, hundredfold.

He believed the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Sword Dao was mistaken.

“Taiyin is useless?”

“Useless things…”

Taiyou Sword Child chewed over Great Sun Sword Child’s words, repeating it over and over, then her gaze gradually turned icy: “Useless things are just casually massacred.”

“Is it so, Fellow Daoist?”

“Is this your Great Sun Pure Yang Sword Dao?”

“…”

Jiang Ding remained silent.

In his view, the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master’s massacre of the Moon Vein indeed lacked morality; it was an unfortunate action in the resource-poor environment of the Nine Spirits Realm, necessitating the complete destruction of the possibility of Yin Yang Sword Dao’s resurgence and takeover, to prevent the fragile and immature Great Sun Sword Dao from dying prematurely.

However, the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master was the pioneer of the Great Sun Sword Dao.

Jiang Ding’s path until now has benefited from the immense Immortal Wisdom of the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master, making it impossible for him to speak words of insult towards the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master.

This couldn’t happen.

Clang!

Taiyou Sword Child began drawing her sword, and Bright Sword Child also drew his sword simultaneously.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, even down to one ten-thousandth of a second in complete unity.

This expanse of land, over thousands of kilometers of starry sky, underwent a massive change instantly; half the world was dazzlingly bright, while the other half was as deep as eternal night, without a trace of light.

Black night and sunlight intermingled, forming a terrifying power far exceeding that of them individually.

“Jiang Dingzi fellow daoist,”

“The Sun Sword Cultivator devoid of all glory, please come forth to meet your end.”

Taiyou Sword Child and Bright Sword Child stood in the midst of night and light, their sword blades angled downward, speaking coldly.

The two voices overlapped heavily, and in convergence, created a new sound, much like the sound of the great Dao, clanging and resonating, beautifully melodious.

“Meet death?”

“You’re not enough.”

Jiang Ding shook his head slightly, looking at Bright Sword Child: “When alone, you’re very weak, even weaker than Yu Qianzi, completely entrusting your Dao path to another woman. Don’t you find it dull?”

“Indeed, it’s not dull.”

“On the long Immortal Path, finding a favorable companion, isn’t that such a fortune?”

Bright Sword Child said candidly.

For this successor Sun Sword Cultivator, whose aura resembled his own, he had a certain natural goodwill since they were of the same kind.

Unfortunately, the other had deviated from the path, thus only resulting in a life-and-death confrontation.

“Fortunate?”

“In terms of the Immortal Path, it is unfortunate.”

Jiang Ding said indifferently.

Clang!

Taiqing Flying Sword unsheathed.

Within the order of destruction, a dazzlingly brilliant Sword Dao World unfolded towards the expanse, sweeping across everything with roars, at the same time eliminating both light and night, effortlessly occupying half the sky, not yielding in the slightest.

Taiyou Sword Child’s pupils contracted.

Theoretically speaking, a single succeeding Sun Sword Cultivator shouldn’t be a match for Taiyin and Taiyang Sword Cultivators, the Pure Yang Lineage had no qualification to challenge them, worthy of no fear.

Yet now, theory had been entirely overturned.

“Kill!”

Taiyou Sword Child said coldly, her killing intent rampant.

A stronger instinct surged in her heart, wanting to completely wipe out this aberrant successor Sun Sword Cultivation, preventing its spread; it was a betrayal of the Taiyin and Taiyang Sword Dao.

In the clanging sword-light, Great Sun and Taiyin Sun engaged in ferocious slaughter.

A bright, dazzling Great Sun arose, amidst which a black and a white strand of heavenly light crisscrossed in front of the Great Sun, boundless in sharpness, slicing apart halo after halo of the Great Sun’s light.

Neither side yielded, battling fiercely, evenly matched.
