"Moon,"
Jiang Ding summoned Moon Spirit and asked softly, "The Eight Great Immortal Sects are about to repair you. Could they plant a hidden measure to control or monitor you?"
The Great Sun Celestial Pool was his home.
He cultivated there year after year, and it would accompany him into battle across the land, ensuring that no Void Refining cultivator could bully him with superior strength. Their bond was too close for him to tolerate the slightest deviation.
"Really?!"
"Sword Scion, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
Moon Spirit perked up.
"It's like this..."
Jiang Ding explained how the news had come about, especially the part concerning the Horn Nether Domain.
Not long ago, the Central Array-Spirit Computer had authorized Moon Spirit to know this secret, because the sealed Great Sun Celestial Pool would accompany Jiang Ding into the Horn Nether Domain on his mission.
"The Horned Demon Imperial Clan?! The Horn Nether Domain?!"
"Oh!"
"What a shame."
"The Sword Lord had such rotten luck."
Moon stared wide-eyed and slapped her thigh again and again. "If he'd held back a little and waited until this era to wage his war of devouring the Eight Great Immortal Sects, things might have turned out very differently."
"We don't even know whether the Horned Demon Imperial Clan has anyone above Void Refining. Even if they do, the Sword Lord might still have cut them down."
"Heaven treated the Sword Lord so cruelly. So much nourishment from powerful foes, yet none of it could be his."
She sighed.
"Sword Scion, you were born in a wonderful era. Not only are there ten Dao Children in this realm, but there's also the far vaster Horn Nether Domain. Cut them down one by one, and what would a realm above Void Refining amount to?"
