"Hello, hello, Jiang Ding..."
Heavenly Monarch Mie Ri's voice came through the phone. The surroundings on his end seemed extremely noisy, with the ding-dong queue numbers being called without pause.
"Senior Mie Ri, have you been released from prison? You didn't go back in again, did you?"
Jiang Ding's heart tightened.
That sound was somewhat like the queue-number calls at Immortal Capital First Prison. He had been there once... several times.
"No!"
"What are you talking about? You don't trust me?"
Heavenly Monarch Mie Ri was displeased. "I'm handling the paperwork—the Immortal Sect deregistration procedures, the later registration procedures, and applying for the Immortal Sect military to blockade the realm where the Xu Realm is located for a period while my identity still remains... All that is very troublesome."
"Oh, right. After deregistering and then registering again, you can't be elected to municipal-level or higher Immortal Sect office for three hundred years. That won't affect your Dao Path plans, will it?"
"No, not at all."
Jiang Ding let out a sigh of relief.
He had no plans to enter politics. Staying at Pure Breeze University was quite good.
"Fine, then."
"I'll send you a deregistration-procedure proxy document later. Sign it, and I'll handle all the procedures for you, so you won't have to make another trip. The paperwork is quite troublesome."
Heavenly Monarch Mie Ri said.
"Understood."
Jiang Ding sat cross-legged within the Solar Abyss, cultivating with his eyes closed. With every breath, he drew in the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and the Essence of the Great Sun, gradually accumulating his foundation of mana and tempering his spirit and sword intent.
Several months later.
He opened his eyes and flew toward the skies above the Great Sun Heavenly Pool.
"Hello!"
"Great Sun Sword Son!"
Heavenly Monarch Mie Ri
