Chapter 2334 - 2301: Home After Three Million Years
Immortal Gate·Star Gate.
This is the passage connecting the Nine Spirits Realm of the Immortal Sect Ancient Divine Domain with the outside world. Inside and outside are isolated, and the cause and effect are sealed. Even Emperor Realm cultivators cannot forcibly cross the blockade of this super array to enter the core area of the Immortal Sect.
For so many years, the Immortal Sect has strictly enforced the national policy of internal and external blockade, and has never wavered.
The Taoist Court is the Taoist Court, and the Immortal Sect is the Immortal Sect.
The Taoist Court prioritizes the interests of all cultivators in the endless starry sky and the Human Emperor, while the Immortal Sect only stands on the stance and interests of its citizens. The two must not be confused.
Many cultivators among the Immortal Sect citizens hold various administrative, military, and scientific research positions outside the Immortal Sect in the Taoist Court, or travel. The Immortal Sect Star Gate always has people queuing year-round, an endless stream. Starlight falls on these cultivators, both men and women, both ugly and handsome, both old and young, with cultivation bases ranging from the Qi Practicing Realm to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
All these cultivators are queuing; no one uses special passages. Everyone is treated equally, even a Quasi-Emperor mixes in the crowd to queue, and everything is taken for granted.
Quasi-Emperors themselves think it is only right, and Qi Practitioners are not overly fearful or alarmed.
On the contrary, a group of Qi Refining Foundation-Building cultivators is eagerly asking for advice on their studies from a nearby Quasi-Emperor citizen, looking excited and respectful.
The Quasi-Emperor cultivator appears to be in a daze, but he does not refuse the surrounding citizens’ questions, casually allocating a trace of Divine Soul Computational Power to handle various matters.
At this time, at the end of the queue, three unremarkable cultivators quietly join the end of the line, queuing honestly.
This scene is very ordinary, attracting no particular attention.
Among the three, two are women, and one is a man who follows the queue while looking around, like a country bumpkin visiting for the first time.
However, those two very beautiful girls looked astonished, dazed, and lost, as if they were dreaming.
They were greatly shocked, extremely unaccustomed to this state of the Human Emperor.
"Young Master..."
Gong Caiyu couldn’t help but glance at the green-clothed youth beside her once again.
Recalling the first time she met him, he was indifferent and aloof, seemingly amiable and polite, but in reality extremely proud, viewing all earthly order as ants. If unable to defeat them, he would often leave or escape. Once defeated, every place would become a place where the Tushan Law was enforced.
How could she have ever seen him so honest and well-behaved?
This is practically an illusion technique!
The Fusang Empress was even more dazed, her steps light, her eyes almost turning into little hearts.
The contrast with the Human Emperor in this state was too adorable!
Though he was the Human Emperor, now he appeared like a naive schoolchild, conducting everything properly and following the rules, completely different from the past transcended from the Heavenly Dao and merging with the Great Dao, indifferent state.
Instead, he seemed more human.
"Your Majesty,"
"You are too indulgent with your sect."
The Fusang Empress praised from the perspective and interests of the Human Emperor.
"It’s not indulgence."
"It’s the duty of citizens, rights and obligations."
Jiang Ding disagreed.
These rules adhering themselves, equating themselves to ordinary Qi-cultivating citizens, queueing honestly is difficult for outside cultivators to understand. For him and many citizens, they have long been used to it. The mutual trust among citizens far surpasses any other organization.
As they chatted, they reached the front of the line.
"May I ask what service you need?"
This time, it was the will of the Central Array Spirit Computer handling it personally.
It wasn’t a privilege, but because both the Fusang Empress and Gong Caiyu possessed Emperor-level power, which posed a significant security threat to the Immortal Sect. Such characters entering the Immortal Sect is equivalent to a foreign heavy-armed army group entering a country for military exercises, requiring the approval of the Immortal Sect Conference.
As for Jiang Ding, there was no need for that; he could go through the regular procedure because he was a citizen.
"Senior Array Spirit, I am here to apply for a travel visa and handle temporary citizenship procedures."
"Guarantor, citizen Jiang Ding."
The Fusang Empress handed over an application form and spoke calmly.
Unlike when facing the Human Emperor, she was graceful and dignified at this time, like the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, proud and transcendent, inherently possessing an air of ruling the world.
An Emperor-tier Array Spirit alone couldn’t diminish her pride.
Except for the Human Emperor, the earthly beings were ordinary to her.
"Processing your application..."
"The Citizen Assembly is handling your request..."
The will of the Central Array Spirit Computer flowed slowly, processing various matters. After a long time, an application form stamped with at least hundreds of seals returned to the Fusang Empress’s hands.
Gong Caiyu then processed her application procedures, similar to the Fusang Empress.
The three of them followed the slightly crowded queue through the Star Gate and out of the Super Transmission Array, officially arriving under the starry skies of the Immortal Sect.
"This is my home now."
Jiang Ding smiled.
With two women, he stepped forward, and in the next moment, appeared within the solar system of the Immortal Sect, and in another instant appeared on the Mother Star of the Immortal Sect, within the Fulin Community.
The childhood tube building had never been demolished; it still existed over three million years later, unchanged. Every flower and grass, slightly old and new, the subtle gaps in the stairs, the advertisements at the stairway entrance... everything was identical to before his mother had fallen asleep over three million years ago.
This community is immortal.
Because the Human Emperor’s Sword Intent was attached to it, this community could persist for millions of years without changing.
This was not an abandoned building, something museum-like, but a community always inhabited, with people coming and going outside, elderly with children, couples taking evening walks, middle school students rushing home, and a group of middle-aged women dancing in the square of the community...
All of this was just like many years ago!
Human beings, reincarnated countless times, time has passed who knows how long, yet it was still this human world!
Jiang Ding felt a tremor in his heart, deeply touched.
Since his mother’s sleep, he hadn’t been here for over three million years. With his mother gone, it was no longer home.
"This is the home of my childhood."
Jiang Ding whispered.
The Fusang Empress and Gong Caiyu felt a tremor in their hearts.
They followed the green-clothed youth step by step into these buildings with rich exotic charm, remembering everything around them deeply, as if doing so would allow them to experience the Human Emperor’s childhood with him, instantly making their connection much closer.
"Young man, are you here to find someone?"
An old man looked curiously at these three strangers, thinking they looked very handsome.
"No, sir."
"I am an old resident here; I just haven’t been back for a few years, and I thought I would clean up a bit."
Jiang Ding took out a bunch of keys and shook them, smiling.
"An old resident, haven’t been back for years?"
"Nonsense! I’ve grown up here, and I’ve never seen you before!"
"Aren’t you possibly..."
The old man tried hard to remember, carefully scrutinized the green-clothed youth, and then thought of something, gasping: "You’d better not call me uncle, I might die young."
"Your age is probably more than two cycles older than mine."
He immediately recognized the unusual aura, realizing that these three might be high-level cultivators.
Their old home likely hadn’t been visited for decades or centuries, and they were probably old monsters!
"...Haha!"
"You have sharp eyes!"
Jiang Ding felt a bit awkward and quickly led the two women up the building, stifling laughter.
