A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 2028 The Loyalty of Many Prodigies in the Endless Starry Sky

Vermilion Bird Palace.

Many sword masters and Dao masters gathered together, with the Great Sun Sword Master sitting high on the throne.

"It's been many years, and you've all changed a lot..."

Jiang Ding stared intently at each of the Daoists, especially the Seven Steps Daoists.

He discovered that their strength had changed a lot; they had not been without progress over the past 100,000 years, and there seemed to be some hope of getting closer to the eighth step.

Ten thousand years have passed, and everyone has changed a lot. It's never just one person who gets the opportunity.

"Fortunately, Jianzi gave me guidance."

"I speak from the heart," said Huanghuo Jianzi.

"Thank you, Jianzi."

The Holy Maiden of Union and other contemporary Daoist disciples felt the same way, expressing their true feelings.

Although this Eight-Step Sword Master cruelly exploited them, he did indeed provide sufficient rewards. He generously bestowed upon them all the insights gained from the incomplete and ancient talismans of various places, the great opportunities to comprehend the true immortal techniques, and many treasures from the past.

The most important thing, of course, is the current territory ruled by the Vermilion Bird Starfield.

At least half of the star fields in the endless starry sky are ruled by the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Palace!

The Tushan Central Court faction has developed too strongly and too rapidly. It can be said to be the number one faction in the Endless Starry Sky. The many Daoists and Sword Masters within it have rightfully reaped numerous benefits. They have made a fortune from all kinds of rare and precious materials for their enlightenment.

The power they belong to is growing rapidly, the monarch is generous and magnanimous, and the monarch himself is also quite talented.

This makes it difficult for many contemporary Daoists not to achieve major breakthroughs.

In fact, several sixth-step Daoists have already broken through to seventh-step Daoists, truly obtaining great opportunities.

There may be Daoists who can break through from the seventh to the eighth step, but for various reasons, they simply did not choose to break through at this time.

"Seeing that you are all well, I know that the future is bright and limitless."

"I am relieved."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly and smiled, "We have worked together for nearly 100,000 years, which is almost half the length of our lives. Such an experience should have a perfect ending."

Please drink this cup to the brim!

Jiang Ding raised the wine cup in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.

Of course, it contains clear, transparent fruit juice.

juice?!!

The Holy Maiden of Fusang sat at the lower end of the table, glancing at the young man in blue with some surprise, quite astonished.

"Yes!"

"Drink this cup to the full!"

Many human prodigies roared, raised their cups, and drank them down in one gulp.

With so many human prodigies gathered together, there was a magnificent and splendid atmosphere. Various strange phenomena appeared, and the light was dazzling. From a distance, it gave the illusion of a banquet for the immortals in the heavenly palace.

In fact, the gathering of so many human prodigies represents a destiny of the endless starry sky.

After several rounds of drinks, everyone chatted and laughed, creating a lively atmosphere.

Soon, many things rooted in human traditions began to revive.

"Sword Master,"

"With wine here, how can we not have a sword dance to liven things up?"

Wildfire Sword Master let out a drunken hiccup, his face flushed, and stood up, saying, "Please allow me to perform a sword dance!"

"can."

Jiang Ding smiled and said.

Keng!
Wildfire Swordsman drew his sword and rose into the air, wielding it with incredible speed.

One could see streaks of azure fire sword energy blooming one after another like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, with the rules of fire weaving within them to form sword worlds of fire. Every now and then, ferocious beasts born from the rules of fire would fly out of these sword worlds, roaring to the sky, their voices shaking the four directions.

The intricate weaving and unfolding of various swordplay rules contain countless mysteries, are exquisitely beautiful, and leave one breathless with wonder.

After finishing a round of sword dance, Huanghuo Jianzi pointed his sword to the sky, but did not put the sword back into its sheath.

"Very wonderful."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly. This seemed to be a celebratory ritual, one that he was naturally skilled at.

Keng!
Three sword energies burst forth from between his fingers, forming a triangular shape as they slashed downwards. The sword path was graceful, natural, and full of a unique rhythm.

Wildfire Sword Master waited with focused attention.

He unleashed all his power in an instant, and as his sword slashed down, an ancient fiery beast descended from the sky, roaring as it charged toward the three unremarkable sword lights.

When the two touch, it's like a dreamlike cloud.

All the strange phenomena disappeared, the fiery beast formed by the sword path, and all the sword energy vanished.

The longsword in Huanghuo Jianzi's hand had been sheathed at some point, and he stood there blankly, clearly unaware of what had happened.

"Ha ha!"

"Huang Huo's swordsmanship is nothing special. Sword Master, behold the swordsmanship of my Wuji Immortal Sect!"

Wuji Sword Master laughed loudly, drew his sword, and charged forward.

Ding Ding Ding!
The sounds of swords clashing and clanging echoed continuously.

The two swordsmen dueled in mid-air. Unlike a life-or-death battle, this duel did not emphasize life or death, but rather the exquisiteness of their swordsmanship. They countered each other's moves, and it was a kind of exchange between sword cultivators.

The two exchanged over ten thousand sword blows, and Huanghuo Jianzi retreated dejectedly, his sword falling short by one move.

"I come!"

Kong Sha Jianzi flew forward.

One by one, sword cultivators rushed forward to perform sword dances for the Sword Lord, showcasing their unparalleled swordsmanship and hoping to gain his favor.

This enthusiastic response is a manifestation of genuine admiration.

Jiang Ding made no further move.

He would occasionally offer his critiques, pointing out flaws in the sword techniques of many swordsmen. Sometimes, he would raise many questions about swordsmanship, and instead of putting on airs, he would directly ask questions and discuss them with the swordsmen.

The Holy Maiden of Fusang watched this scene with a smile.

She knew that the Great Sun Sword Master was beginning to gain popularity, and many human prodigies were starting to truly pledge their loyalty to him. If two true immortals were to appear in the future, these sword cultivators would definitely prioritize the Great Sun Sword Master without the slightest hesitation. This was a political inclination subtly expressed by these human sword prodigies.

The premise is that Da Ri Jian Zi will become a true fairy in the future.

That's only natural.

These human sword prodigies are all future rulers of an immortal sect, bearing the lives and deaths of countless people, the inheritance of countless generations of ancestors, and the expectations of countless sect cultivators. How could they possibly follow without regret simply because of a personal preference?

It is already rare to have such a tendency.

Of course, as a sword cultivator, one must know that the source of everything is the sword in one's own hand. With the sword, one possesses everything; without the sword, one loses everything. One must not be misled by such glamorous and dazzling scenes.

The banquet in the Vermilion Bird Palace lasted for several years.

During the event, there were various sword dances, sword duels, and many Taoist disciples' spells and talents. The most amazing performance was the Heavenly Demon Dance of the Holy Maiden of Joyful Union, which left people feeling unsettled for a long time.

Many Daoist disciples were mesmerized, unwilling to look away even when they sensed danger.

Throughout the entire banquet, only the Great Sun Sword Prince and the Holy Maiden of Fusang remained calm, quietly appreciating the spectacle.

As the music ended, the many human prodigies gradually dispersed.

"The time for the destruction of the Heavenly Emperor of All Laws in history has arrived."

"At present, the Dao Fruit of the Big Dipper Dao Child and the Dao Fruit of the Yin Yang Desire Dao Child have not yet been condensed. The two are still fighting to the death and have not yet determined the outcome."

"The Holy Maiden of Fusang said softly."

The intelligence agencies of the Vermilion Bird Starfield have been closely monitoring Wanfa Huangtian's activities.

"There are still 3,600 years left before the 20,000-year deadline I gave them."

"But they seem to be too lax?"

Jiang Ding frowned: "Send these two fellow Daoists a formal invitation, saying that I will personally visit them to seek their guidance 3,600 years from now."

He unleashed two sword energies, which, in a hazy process, transformed into two neatly written visiting cards.

"Yes,"

"His Majesty."

The Holy Maiden of Fusang accepted the visiting card and intended to give it to the Holy Maiden of Hehuan's Youyan residence.
