Chapter 1085: A Soul Transformation Heavenly Lord of the Immortal Sect Has Ascended to the Upper Realm

Golden Imperial Palace.

Because of the existence of immortal art clues, this place became the activity center for Soul Transformation cultivators of the immortal sects many years ago.

Soul Transformation Heavenly Lords usually ponder immortal art clues, and when free, they chat and shoot the breeze with fellow Daoists, or pull together projects, form new research groups, hold symposiums on new breakthroughs in the immortal Dao, and so on.

If they run into problems in any area—sword Dao, materials science, pill refining, and so on—a casual shout brings out anywhere from one or two to several dozen big fellows to help; the convenience is off the charts.

Therefore, even when many Heavenly Lords go out, they leave behind a clone here. For instance, the distant clone of Divine Mechanism Heavenly Lord, and the clone of Jiang Ding, who is always wandering about aimlessly, is also here, taking part in some low-computation research as well as pondering immortal art clues—this work has never stopped.

Looking around now, the entire Golden Imperial Palace has a motley crowd of over five hundred Soul Transformation cultivators!

This is all thanks to the dividends brought by the Realm War. Under enormous pressure, the Jiudaxian Sect stopped hoarding from each other: the immortal sects' top-grade synthetic materials, Qingmuxian Sect's top-grade spirit plants and spirit medicines, Dandingxian Sect's top-grade pills, Shangqing Spiritual Treasure Sect's top-grade artifact-refining craft, Wuxingtian Sect's five-element materials… and so on, no longer restricting each other, effectively forming a unified market.

The Jiudaxian Sect has benefited enormously from this.

Shadow Demon Abyss cultivators, Wuxingtian Sect cultivators, Qingmuxian Sect cultivators… every cultivator, from the lowest Qi Refining to the top Void Refinement grand powers, has refreshed every single one of their dharma treasures, pills, and talismans, their strength increasing by several tenths compared to before the war.

Among these, undoubtedly, the free market has benefited the immortal sects—this immortal Dao industrial complex—the most!

This is the dividend of war!

The release of this enormous dividend means the immortal sects obtained a large number of Soul Transformation opportunities, slumbering cultivators accelerated their awakening and became Soul Transformation cultivators one after another, and Soul Transformation early-stage cultivators gradually came to make up the majority of the sects' Soul Transformation cultivators.

However, no matter what kind of immortal sect immortal Dao center the Golden Imperial Palace is, it is, after all, a library, and has always been extremely quiet.

When the many Heavenly Lords chat and bicker, or debate research, formation arrays isolate them, ensuring overall quiet so as not to disturb those pondering immortal arts or reading books.

But at this moment, the Golden Imperial Palace was like countless firecrackers going off at once, instantly becoming incomparably noisy, boiling over.

Even the sound-isolating formations couldn't stop it!

Because there was clamor everywhere, people shouting and screaming everywhere. The library's formation spirit issued warning after warning to keep quiet and mind one's manners, and finally even started issuing fines, but still no one paid any heed.

Immortal sect Soul Transformation cultivators were shrieking everywhere, completely lacking the composed bearing of Heavenly Lords with their ten-thousand-year lifespans.

"Damn it!"

"Damn!"

"How did my national-level project 'Research Project on the Structure of the Metal-Element Rotating Wave Gong Fa' just get concluded?!! I've only done

half of it! I've only spent a third of my funding! My money!"

"Who did this?!!"

Sun-Extinguishing Heavenly Lord was shouting and screaming, his manners always lacking, even though this was a library.

Normally, hands reaching out to rap the back of his head would appear all around. There were plenty of Soul Transformation Heavenly Lords in the Golden Imperial Palace with seniority higher than his, many of whom had once been his teachers, and they simply would not indulge him. They taught him a lesson without the slightest courtesy, striking ruthlessly hard, and Sun-Extinguishing Heavenly Lord himself did not dare to resist.

But at this moment, no one paid him any attention; everyone was letting out similar shrieks.

"Damn!"

"Ah!!!"

"How did my sect-level 'Brother Tianhai Wave-Pattern Spell Glyph Project' just finish? Just get concluded?"

Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun, usually mature and steady, also burst out cursing at this moment: "Bro, I just barely got the project approved, I haven't spent a single cent on it!"

"You're telling me it's already done?"

"Where did such a fierce person come from, not even leaving me a sip of soup!"

Although he was cursing angrily, seemingly angry, anyone with eyes could see his delighted expression—he was so happy he was almost about to fly off.

When Soul Transformation Heavenly Lords choose research projects, they don't pick at random, choosing whichever project has the most fat to be had.

That is not the main reason.

No matter how fat the pickings, no matter how many spirit stones, can they compare to one's own lifespan, one's own Dao path?

Take Jiang Ding, for example. He only ever takes on sword Dao projects; he's skilled in that area, and moreover, it's related to his Dao path.

Apart from helping people in the immortal sects resolve sword Dao difficulties, over ninety percent of Jiang Ding's divine-soul computing power goes into research projects closely tied to his own Dao path, such as the Great Sun Soul Transformation secret art and sword arts.

The other Heavenly Lords are the same.

For example, the sect-level project Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun had just gotten approved, "Brother Tianhai Wave-Pattern Spell Glyph Project," was related to his breaking through the late-Soul Transformation bottleneck and entering Soul Transformation peak.

He applied repeatedly, wore them down, stated every reason, every benefit to the immortal sects, and only then got the project approved and obtained the sect's funding support.

Among these, just like Jiang Ding's Great Sun Soul Transformation secret art, he wasn't making money on it; on the contrary, he had to pour huge sums of money into it. Even if it meant going bankrupt, he wouldn't hesitate—completing the project was the greatest fat.

For cultivators, breaking through a bottleneck and advancing further is the greatest benefit!

This kind of benefit—even ten billion spirit stones, a trillion spirit stones, or more—compared to it is like dung. Put the two together, and not a single Soul Transformation Heavenly Lord would spare spirit stones a second glance.

"Damn!"

"Hahaha… bro's about to break through to Soul Transformation peak!!"

Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun had only cursed halfway before he couldn't hold it in himself and burst out laughing, waving his arms and dancing, running around

in circles, drool spilling all over the ground.

Top-tier immortal sect scientists, before their own great Dao, are as innocent and joyful as children.

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

"……"

It wasn't only Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun—everywhere, whether Soul Transformation cultivators or Nascent Soul True Lords, one after another they were emotionally agitated, cursing out loud in succession.

They couldn't even be bothered with manners anymore, looking with trembling fingers at their projects that had somehow already been concluded, looking at the immortal Dao results that had come out at the end of the concluded projects.

These immortal Dao results carried an ancient, traditional air and format, vastly different from the immortal sects' immortal Dao scientific literature, but the knowledge contained within was no different, glittering with the light of wisdom.

"Which…"

"Which fierce man dug up some immortal sect's house? …"

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Lord took a deep breath, trembling as he looked at his own project, named "Formation Spirit and Immortal Dao Artificial Intelligence Logic Project No. 2547."

The project was now concluded, and the results were even better than his own—especially the direction beyond Void Refinement, it far exceeded his own conception!

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun gazed at this suddenly appearing result with an expression close to worship.

He knew clearly and distinctly that, compared with the ancient outstanding figures who had produced this result, he himself was nothing but a child just starting kindergarten—the gap was far too vast.

"Holy shit!"

"Look, quick!"

Yuanyuan, who had always been known in the immortal sect for his steadiness and shown the world a sincere and kindly image, was also cursing wildly, roaring with utter abandon: "Three Dao Merging realm Gong Fa!"

"One incomplete Gong Fa above the Dao Merging realm!"

"Twenty-seven Refining Void scriptures!"

"I'm really done for! With this many Gong Fa, it'd be enough to buy the entire immortal sect!"

"Ahhhhhhhhh………"
