Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery-Chapter 2154 - 2121: Heavenly Beast and Dan Tian Venerable Die of Old Age
"Hahaha..."
"That year you were defeated and fled..."
"That year, our Master passed away, you and I ascended to Supremacy, facing internal and external challenges, full of vigor, that day seems like it was yesterday, but now, I have become just like our Master of that time..."
The Heavenly Beast Venerable laughed heartily.
Dan Tian Venerable’s expression was extremely complex, difficult to calm.
The Taiyin Sun Supreme merely sighed.
Jiang Ding finished pouring tea, quietly watching the preceding Supremes.
The flame of life flickered in the wind, gradually wilting, irreversibly withering, even an Emperor can hardly reverse this natural rule of birth, aging, sickness, and death.
"Great Sun Venerable,"
"After I pass away, could you look after my sect and disciples?"
The Heavenly Beast Venerable, with skin wrinkled like an elder farmer, gradually restrained his smile and suddenly pleaded.
In his final moments of life, his concern lingered on his sect, the sect that had been his cradle and his grave, the sect to which he had devoted his emotions throughout his life.
At the final moment of life, he should have been utterly free, when life and death no longer exist, what is there to fear?
Yet, at this moment, he was so humble, addressing a junior as Venerable.
For this is an invincible being of the Perishing Immortal Realm.
All eyes turned to the green-clothed youth serving tea.
"Heavenly Beast Senior speaks too highly."
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ding slowly said: "The Heavenly Beast Immortal Sect and Dan Tian Immortal Sect will grow under the radiance of Tushan Law; as long as Tushan Law is observed, no harm will come from me."
No promises were made.
Not even a dying request from a Supreme senior.
Because the Heavenly Beast Venerable and Dan Tian Venerable did not share any past bonds with the former Dari Swordsman; any slight ties from past accommodations in the Great Yin Yang Sword Realm had already been repaid, and things were settled long ago.
No bonds, no special privileges.
This cannot be replaced by any final benevolence from someone about to die, no bonds means just that; the world ought to have justice.
The eyes of the Heavenly Beast Venerable and Dan Tian Venerable darkened.
The two Taoist disciples witnessing this scene felt their noses tingle, almost tearful in sorrow.
Yet, even so, no being expressed anger, dissatisfaction; everyone immediately accepted this cold outcome.
"Please, Great Sun Venerable, forgive this,"
"This was, Heavenly Beast’s audaciousness..."
The Heavenly Beast Venerable apologized: "Having met with fellow Daoists today, my heart’s desire is fulfilled."
"Fellow Daoists,"
"The time has come, this old Taoist shall take his leave."
"If there is reincarnation in this world, if the soul can forget memories and continually reincarnate, turning into another being, if this is true, after countless reincarnations, I hope to meet you fellow Daoists again."
The Heavenly Beast Venerable cupped his hand, smiling as he spoke.
"Farewell, Heavenly Beast Daoist!"
"Farewell!"
The Taiyin Sun Supreme and Dari Swordsman all rose, bowing deeply to bid farewell to this cultivator.
"Farewell."
"Farewell..."
The Heavenly Beast Venerable sighed deeply, his voice gradually weakening.
His body softly collapsed, the divine light in his eyes completely extinguished, the vitality of his entire being vanished without a trace.
A Supreme who had traversed the Perishing Immortal Realm for over seven hundred thousand years died so suddenly.
Jiang Ding’s gaze appeared somewhat dim.
This was his first time witnessing a Supreme dying from the exhaustion of lifespan, beyond salvation.
It was so abrupt.
One moment he was conversing merrily, and the next he was dead, completely gone, making it feel very unreal; is the presence of life not supposed to be constant?
"Fellow Daoists,"
"Farewell."
Dan Tian Venerable gave a low sigh, saying little more.
In the next moment, she died.
This death did not seem too different from a mortal’s death; all the same, she’d never be seen again, never to appear once more.
"Farewell, Dan Tian Daoist!"
Jiang Ding, the Taiyin Sun Supreme, and others bowed deeply.
After a long time, the three of them slowly rose to their feet.
The Heavenly Beast Daoist and Dan Tian Daoist, eyes red, felt lost, as if their souls were leaving with their master, who had been like both teacher and father; it was a while before they recovered.
In what seemed an instant, the two matured because there was no one to rely on in the world anymore.
From this day forth, both of them would become the pillars of their respective sects.
The bodies of the two deceased Supremes began to exhibit signs of Spirit Scattering, the spiritual energy they had absorbed from heaven and earth over seven hundred thousand years began to overflow, forming a torrent of spiritual energy that returned to nourish the world, creating a cultivation paradise in the vicinity.
This was the final sentiment these two Supremes left for their sects with the last of their lives.
"Heavenly Beast, Dan Tian... Alas!"
The Sun Supreme sighed, glancing at the Dari Swordsman.
"The two seniors were also heroes of the Human Race, preserving the Human Race under the Demon Race’s onslaught."
"Such heroes should be buried alongside the ancestors and forebears of their sect."
Jiang Ding waved his hand, as if rewinding time, the scattering torrents of spiritual energy returned, once again forming the serene faces of the two Supremes, he softly said: "Fellow Daoists, let the two seniors accompany the Ancestor Masters, and when you ascend to Supremacy yourselves, I will attend with a manifestation."
This indicated that they would be protected until and during their ascension to Supremacy.
"Thank you,"
"Great Sun Senior!"
The Heavenly Beast Daoist and Dan Tian Daoist choked up as they spoke.
With this promise, within the Perishing Immortal Realm, the two would face no further dangers, their sect’s heritage would continue steadily, fulfilling their masters’ dying wish.
The two paid respects once more and then left, embracing their respective masters’ bodies.
Not long after they departed, two Supremes with entirely distinct auras entered, kneeling on one knee, kowtowing: "Greetings, Great Sun Venerable!"
These were the new generations of Seven Kills Venerable and Thunder Sun Heaven Sword Venerable. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
They prostrated themselves before the green-clothed youth in the manner one would before a senior, a monarch, devoid of any arrogance or superiority that a Supreme might possess.
They had ascended to Supremacy for tens of thousands of years, but this was the first time they met the true Sovereign of the Perishing Immortal Realm, the one entitled to decide their life and death.
This was not a matter of whether a Supreme is arrogant or humble,
But one of life and death!
Even if their Masters revived and were twenty thousand years younger, on this issue, there would be no other choice.
"The new Seven Kills, Thunder Sun..."
The Taiyin Sun Supreme’s gaze was distant.
They watched as a new generation of Supremes bowed, as if seeing a new era dawn, while they remained in an old era, accustomed to the trappings of the past.
"You’re too courteous, Fellow Daoists."
"Please rise, there’s no need for such profound ceremony."
Jiang Ding, unfazed as though he were unperturbed by the attention, said calmly: "My stance rests with the Tushan Law, as long as the Tushan Law is adhered to, I hold no opinion on you fellow Daoists or your sects."
A living Supreme can certainly create value far exceeding that of one or two Treasures or Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures.
As long as they are willing to work, willing to abide by the law.
Otherwise, if they were to cause negative effects on the Perishing Immortal Realm, impacting the development of the World Community, they would experience the wrath of the Great Sun’s thunderous fury.
"We will,"
"Faithfully follow the commands of Great Sun Senior!"
The Seven Kills Venerable and Thunder Sun Heaven Sword Venerable responded respectfully.
