In the dark and silent void.
A palace concealed within the void was traveling into the distance, having continued this journey for at least fifty thousand years.
This voyage would persist for another hundred thousand years.
Only then would they briefly stop, to observe whether it was safe before deciding whether to continue distancing themselves from the Perishing Immortal Realm.
On this palace, there was almost no trace of life; everyone was in slumber.
From the Supreme to the Heavenly Man, all had fallen into sleep, greatly reducing spiritual energy consumption, slowing the loss of life energy, awaiting the futureās glorious and brilliant time.
Only two remained.
The Sun Sword Child and the Taiyin Sword Child were still awake.
In a small chamber teeming with spiritual energy, the two sat facing each other in cultivation, having long reached the Harmonization Peak, yet they were always unwilling to break through.
In reality, breaking through was also futile.
The Taiyin Sun Supreme still lived, the branch limit of the Taiyin Sunās rules remained occupied, they could not advance to Supreme, they had to wait for the previous generationās supreme to pass away to advance to the Ultimate Venerable Realm, and advancing to Heavenly Man held little significance.
Besides that, there was the unwillingness.
They were unwilling to advance to Heavenly Man as Six-step Daoist disciples when the great opportunity all their Ancestor Masters longed for was right before them, yet they had to give it up.
"Alas~"
"We have no hope left, severely lacking in talent and capability."
The Sun Sword Child lamented, "Clearly, the āGreat Sun Immortal Mortal Limit Breaking Chapterā has already pointed the way, yet we are still unable to find the breakthrough path for Taiyin Sun Sword Dao, despite all these years of hard work our life energy is about to run out, all weāve managed is a nondescript āTaiyin Sun Breaking Limit Fragment.ā"
"I canāt even bear to look at this fragment!"
"Itās all conjecture, all possibilities, maybe, should be... truly cultivating it, Iād rather eat dung if I donāt die!"
Smack!
A flying slap hit him, sending him to the wall, sticking him there like a piece of paper for quite some time.
"Shut up!"
The Taiyin Sword Child, disgusted and furious, spoke.
"But arenāt these truths."
"Iām not wrong!"
The Sun Sword Child, glued to the wall, remained defiant, "I suspect the two of us canāt succeed at all; weāll only manage a beginning, and it will take at least ten generations of Supreme time, with dozens of Taiyin Sun Sword Children continuously failing, dying, and continuing, only then to succeed."
"Thatās the least."
"One generation after another of Taiyin Sun Sword Children will die in succession, one after another... too tragic."
"I kind of canāt bear it, Iām a bit afraid."
The Sun Sword Child sighed, "No wonder Dari Swordsman always said the Taiyin Sun Sword Dao was weak, seems thereās some truth to it."
"By comparison, his entire sect of Great Sun Sword Dao could die without anyone batting an eye, itās normal for oneself to die if weak, no ripples in the heart, the iteration speed was too fast."
"Just lacked a bit of humanity."
He felt deeply moved.
"Great Sun Sword Dao..."
"Thatās not us."
The Taiyin Sword Child frowned, "A cultivatorās whole life in cultivation should also contain living, family love, various emotions, that is why humans are human."
"However, emotions shouldnāt delay the Great Dao either."
"A Sword Cultivator without Sword Dao, then death is what awaits, after death any emotions are useless, there must be a balance between the two."
"A rule should be established for future generations that only Sword Children with achievements in the āTaiyin Sun Breaking Limit Chapterā can become Supreme, at least step out one step, refine one step, only then do they qualify to be the Sectās Sword Child, otherwise, generation after generation fearing death, halting, wastes the great opportunity."
She spoke firmly.
"Starting with us, setting an example, wonāt provoke future generationsā resentment, thinking we treat them like exploitative Demon Cultivators."
"The warmth and familial feelings of the Great Yin Yang Sword Realm shouldnāt be destroyed."
"A family should dedicate mutually, rather than forcing generations of Taiyin Sun Sword Children to go to their deaths, nor can everyone fear to move forward, otherwise, the entire sect may eventually be destroyed by enemies."
The Taiyin Sword Child schemed, contemplated, planning to reform the Great Yin Yang Sword Realmās Sword Child system.
They both delved back into Dao enlightenment and thought.
"Actually, there is a better way."
"Perhaps it wonāt require generations of Taiyin Sun Sword Children dying consecutively to perfect the āTaiyin Sun Breaking Limit Fragment.ā"
Suddenly said the Sun Sword Child.
"Hmm?"
The Taiyin Sword Child glanced skeptically at him.
"And thatās to latch onto thighs!"
"Thatās for Dari Swordsman to go one step further!"
The Sun Sword Child suddenly yearned, "Say, is there a chance while Iām enlightening Dao, Dari Swordsman suddenly appears beside me, gently tells me, āYou donāt have to toil enlightening Dao anymore, Iāve done it all for you, just follow the cultivation.ā"
"And then tells me, āIāve killed all the Supremes in the Perishing Immortal Realm, you donāt have to risk anything at all.ā"
"From now on, youāll be a happy Seven-step Supreme."
"Right, even having a complete āTaiyin Sun Breaking Limit Chapterā might not ensure breaking the limit; the death probability should still be six to seven tenths, therefore Dari Swordsman might also say, heād prepare a breakthrough opportunity for me, with a great probability of successfully breaking the limit, this is our generation of Taiyin Sun Sword Childās opportunity and luck, afterward, there will be none."
"To him, he should also say he isnāt satisfied with just the Perishing Immortal Realm, will continue expanding into the Starry Sky, owning multiple Great Thousand Worlds, and then, he wonāt manage them all, will give me several Great Thousand Worlds to govern..."
"He also said..."
Smack!
A floral-embroidered shoe flew, striking the Sun Sword Childās forehead, leaving a clear shoe print, making him yelp, shattering his endless dreams.
"Shut up!"
"Have you enlightened Dao to stupidity?"
The Taiyin Sword Child said with annoyance, "Hurry and continue enlightening the Dao, perfect āTaiyin Sun Breaking Limit Fragment,ā strive to get more things done before we fall into hibernation."
"Once the Masterās time comes, we have to awaken and advance to Supreme."
"Dream more and Iāll flatten you!"
"Oh."
"Alright then."
The Sun Sword Child, dispirited, obediently returned to work.
The two began busily engaging, continuing their Dao comprehension.
It could be seen that the two were quite unadapted to such a lifestyle of sitting inside a small room for fifty thousand years with no interaction with other living things, maintaining sanity only because of supporting each other, yet still continuing their Dao enlightenment.
Buzz!
Buzz buzz!
At a certain moment, the Taiyin Heavenly Palace roared and shook, abruptly halting, radiating infinite brilliance, limitless array patterns spreading, beginning to receive ultra-long-distance encrypted messages from afar.
Messaging!
Ultra-long-distance messaging!
At this moment, what kind of encrypted messages could the Taiyin Heavenly Palace receive from afar?
The Sun Sword Child and Taiyin Sword Childās bodies shook, staring intently at the Taiyin Heavenly Palaceās message platform.
Within countless rule runes, the entire Taiyin Heavenly Palaceās myriad array patterns began to awaken, after a long slumber, the Taiyin Sun Supreme was also awakening, two enormous divine senses gradually returning to life, equally watching from the messaging platform.
There, following the completion of receiving ultra-long-distance encrypted messages, above gradually emerged a book of scriptures.
This scripture book was named,
āTaiyin Sun Breaking Limit Chapterā!
"Ah?"
"Isnāt it?"
The Sun Sword Childās mouth opened into a round shape.
