A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 2217 The Great Sun Shining Sword Dao Lineage
Mingguangzi is dead.

"That bastard is dead."

"Good riddance..."

Jiang Ding sighed softly.

He barely even saw the kid when he was alive, and offered him no support, letting him grow up like a resilient roadside weed.

But why do I feel a little sad after he dies?

Jiang Ding pondered for a long time and found the answer in his heart.

Throughout his life, Ming Guangzi always upheld the sword rules of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, even in his final moments.

He could have chosen to engage in a sacred sword duel with the Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang, who were among the Seven Tribulations Supremes, as they would have been the most suitable opponents. However, he instead challenged the Supreme Sun Sword Fairy to a sword duel.

Why?

Because the Supreme Great Sun Sword Master, who is in charge of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion's lineage, said that Great Sun Sword cultivators are not allowed to initiate internal sacred sword duels.

Mingguangzi agrees with this logic.

Therefore, in the last moments of his life, he chose another path.

That is, to challenge the Great Sun Sword Master to a sacred sword duel, in a way that conforms to the sword law of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, in order to overturn the various rules set by the Great Sun Sword Master.

As long as the current Great Sun Sword Master is killed, the sword rules established by the current Great Sun Sword Master will become invalid. These are the lowest-level sword rules of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, and their priority surpasses all other sword rules.

Such a pure swordsman is now dead, and it's hard for any swordsman to accept this as a matter of course.

"Mingguangzi is a good person."

Jiang Ding was so moved that he wanted to kill him with his own hands.

Such a pure sword cultivator, though weak, died by the sword of a sword fairy. It was not an insult to the sword fairy's flying sword, but rather a stroke of luck for both of them.

Has Mingguangzi's lineage been passed down?

Jiang Ding inquired.

"Young master, pass it down..."

Gong Caiyu was about to answer, but then she shut her mouth.

The moment the Sword Fairy asked the question, the surrounding Heavenly Dao rules had already provided an answer, as if her words were law, almost like the omniscient and omnipotent beings in mythology.

The laws of Heaven trembled, and the spiritual energy shifted, projecting a scene before the two.

In the Great Black Heaven Extreme Domain, under the sunlight, on a dark mountain peak, a middle-aged swordsman with a stubble beard sat cross-legged, his body covered in dust and even overgrown with weeds. It was unknown how many thousands of years he had been cultivating here, like a desolate rock.

This sword cultivator carried an aura of great light and great destruction, a Three Tribulations Supreme.

This is the scene that appeared when the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal spoke, causing the Heavenly Dao to change. It is the people and things most closely related to the Sword Immortal's curiosity and karma.

Jiang Ding's gaze was somewhat lost in thought.

"Young Master,"

"This is the second-generation inheritor of the Great Sun Bright Sword Way, the Great Sun Bright Sword Master."

Gong Caiyu considered her tone carefully before saying, "His talent... is rather mediocre at the level of the endless starry sky. The Three Tribulations Supreme seems to be his limit. He should be a ruler who maintains the status quo, like the second generation of the Great Sun Sword Master. In his life, he should be able to make up for some of the shortcomings of the Great Sun Bright Sword Dao."

“Ming Guangzi’s swordsmanship is too extreme and has too many flaws. Apart from himself, I’m afraid it would be difficult for anyone to cultivate to the sixth level.”

"The Great Sun Bright Sword Dao needs to be refined and explored by generations of Sword Masters before it can be perfected and become possible to reach the Seventh Tribulation or even higher realms."

"Or, the emergence of an extraordinary genius beyond reason within the Great Sun Brightness lineage could significantly shorten this process."

This is the history of many sacred sites and religious traditions throughout history.

Behind these successful sects lie the corpses of countless failures. Success is not inevitable, but rather an extremely accidental thing.

The Great Sun Radiance Sword Path may be lost with the passage of time and disappear completely from history.

“This successor of Mingguangzi is indeed mediocre.”

Jiang Ding nodded slightly, agreeing with Gong Caiyu's point of view, and withdrew his gaze.

He was no longer interested.

This is actually normal. Mediocrity and complacency are the majority. Unparalleled geniuses are rare. Who can be so lucky as to have such a genius appear in the second generation?

In fact, it is very fortunate that there is a ruler who can maintain the status quo among the second generation of the lineage.

"Young master, after seeing an old friend, aren't you going to give him a gift?"

Gong Caiyu asked with some curiosity.

It wasn't that she liked the Great Sun Bright Sword Path, but rather that, according to past history, the Great Sun Sword Master seemed to always take good care of old friends after meeting them, without exception.

The Great Sun Radiance Sword Path, however, was different and was completely ignored. "No need to see me out."

“I don’t even give gifts to Ming Guangzi, so why would I give them to his successor?”

Jiang Ding rolled his eyes.

He paused for a moment, then felt it was a bit impolite.

"It seems that interstellar war is about to begin."

"There will be many battles in the future."

Jiang Ding thought for a moment and said, "At that time, remember to put the inheritors of the Great Sun Bright Sword Path into the most dangerous battlefields. If one dies, put another in. Don't treat the sword cultivators of this lineage as human beings."

"Don't force them, don't coerce them. Just always give them the best and most dangerous opportunities, and let them choose how they want."

"This is the gift I'm giving to Akiko."

"He should like it."

This order is somewhat complex and could easily be over-executed by the bureaucratic system, but Jiang Ding believes that Gong Caiyu can do it well and fully achieve his will.

"Oh, young master, I understand."

Gong Caiyu recorded it.

"Let's go see an old friend."

"These old friends are becoming fewer and fewer; today may be the last time we see them, so let's not miss this opportunity."

Jiang Ding sighed softly and led Gong Caiyu toward the Great Yin Yang Sword Realm.

……

The Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm.

Within the Yin-Yang Realm Sea, the sounds of silk and bamboo instruments drifted in. Male cultivators played the xiao (vertical flute), while female cultivators played the qin (zither), and countless colorful musical notes spread out in all directions, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

These are the contemporary Supreme Beings of the Sun and Moon.

These two adulterers seem to be living a good life, gazing at each other with deep affection, their eyes practically drooling.

They've been together for over 500,000 years and haven't even reached the seven-year itch yet; their relationship is still going strong, which is quite remarkable and puzzling.

There's a sense of lack of ambition.

They lacked the sharpness and unwavering will of sword cultivators.

After an unknown amount of time, the music stopped.

"Were Le'er and the others still executed?"

The Supreme Yin said coldly.

This is one of her descendants, cute in appearance, obedient and filial, at least in her eyes, but unexpectedly, she is about to leave because she violated some laws.

It's truly infuriating.

"Probably dead."

"Wife, don't think about it anymore. You have to get used to everything."

The Sun Supreme lay on the ground, a spiritual fruit dangling from his mouth. He chewed and chuckled, mumbling indistinctly, "Even if the two of us chewed and chuckled together, we still couldn't beat Gong Caiyu. We'd barely manage to withstand one more move. Let's just keep at it, chewing and chuckleing..."

"I'm destined to live a life of leisure and comfort."

"Humph!"

"Lack of ambition!"

The Supreme Yin snorted coldly.

However, although she appeared displeased, she was actually quite satisfied inside.

What's wrong with living a peaceful and comfortable life? Master and the others all say that the two of them are the luckiest generation in the sect, and they don't have to suffer any hardship.

It's good to be unambitious. If a man is ambitious, he has to give up many things, like that lonely sword fanatic who's been alone for millions of years...

Keng!
At that moment, a melodious and pleasant sword cry, containing the power to destroy magic, could be faintly heard in the wind.

This is politeness before a guest arrives.

They asked if they were available and if it was convenient for them.
"Pure...pure yang!"

“He he he he…”

The Sun Supreme shuddered and quickly stood up from his lying position. The spiritual fruit fell to the ground. He patted his slightly wrinkled clothes up and down, like a mischievous monkey seeing an elder.
