After a period of teleportation that inverted the Sun, Moon, and Stars, spatial bearings, causality, and time, the nine Dao Children appeared in a neutral region somewhere among the Nine Great Immortal Sects of the Nine Spirit Domain.
Yes, even the Nine Great Dao Children could not know the exact location of the Realm Passage. This was the highest-level secret.
Within this neutral starry sky, all Nine Great Immortal Sects had established their own Teleportation Arrays and stationed personnel there. The Immortal Sect's garrison was the Starry Sky Legion fleet commanded by Canghai Heavenly Monarch, while the other Immortal Sects had Void Refinement Dao Soldiers stationed here. This counted as the Nine Spirit Domain's second line of defense, prepared for the worst.
Jiang Ding swept his Spiritual Sense Scan across the surroundings and flew toward Canghai Heavenly Monarch.
"Jiang Ding Zi,"
A voice came from behind him.
It was Azure Wood Dao Child Ji Liuyue. Her voice was soft and ethereal, carrying the aura of Taiyi Azure Wood, instinctively stirring much goodwill in people's hearts.
This was humanity's natural yearning for life and vitality.
"Speak."
Jiang Ding said without turning his head.
There was a moment of silence behind him.
"I hope..."
"A thousand years from now, I can still see you. Don't die."
Ji Liuyue said softly.
The Eight Great Dao Children were about to enter Thousand Year Slumber, quietly waiting for time to pass as the miniature Immortal Path Ecosystems within their bodies grew.
As for sword cultivators, that remained undecided.
For example, Yu Qianzi would not sleep. She would remain active on every battlefield where blood and death blossomed, continuing so for a thousand years. Even if she became bent with age and frail in her twilight years, she would still draw her sword to slay enemies,
