Chapter 1231: The Plan Formulated by the Immortal Gate Fourteen Hundred Years Ago Revives

The Immortal Gate's conscripted legions dispersed in all directions, conquering one Minor Thousand World after another, pacifying one Minor Thousand World after another.

Ten years later, the Immortal Gate effectively controlled sixty Minor Thousand Worlds.

Thirty years later, the Immortal Gate effectively controlled ninety Minor Thousand Worlds.

More than fifty years later, the Immortal Gate effectively controlled one hundred and fifty-five Minor Thousand Worlds, completing all the occupation and pacification missions set out by Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, and established the Immortal Gate's order within each Minor Thousand World,

At this time, the Immortal Gate possessed a total of over three hundred and eighty million conscripted legion cultivators, who came from the myriad races, the elites among the myriad races; every army group was mixed, with sand mixed into one another; Immortal Gate cultivators served as the commanding officers above the army group commander level, while the deputy positions were held by Minor Thousand World Soul Transformation cultivators.

In actual combat and garrison missions, Immortal Gate cultivators firmly held military authority.

Minor World Soul Transformation cultivators were nominally deputies, but in reality served as vanguard generals, charging into the enemy formation to scatter soldiers, their duty being to disrupt the enemy forces' battle formations, or to entangle individual powerful cultivators, restricting their mobility, creating opportunities for the legion's battle formations to operate and for the ship cannons to fire in unison and annihilate them.

The Minor Thousand Worlds' conscripted legion cultivators swelled to an extremely massive number.

Over three hundred and eighty million cultivators!

It seemed like a lot, but in reality each Minor Thousand World averaged only about two and a half million cultivators, garrisoned at various key formations within the Minor Thousand Worlds, ensuring the safety of the Immortal Gate's logistical passages.

Furthermore, these Minor Thousand World conscripted cultivators, just like their name, were merely militia, not professional soldiers.

They followed a rotation system, rotating every fifty years, serving fifty years each time, with five hundred thousand conscripted cultivators rotating each time, a cycle of two hundred and fifty years.

This meant that a Minor Thousand World Foundation Establishment cultivator only needed to serve once in his life, for fifty years.

The remaining time they were civilians, taking on production duties.

A Minor Thousand World Jin Dan cultivator needed to serve twice in his life, a total of one hundred years.

Nascent Soul cultivators and Soul Transformation cultivators were the same, except Nascent Soul cultivators and Soul Transformation cultivators were qualified to become professional soldiers, as long as they themselves were willing and submitted an application.

Most Minor Thousand World Soul Transformation cultivators were willing.

Because, in the army, they could obtain more merit, and obtain many pills, magic treasures, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Gong Fa, spells, and so on.

Over the years, this massive conscripted legion of the Immortal Gate had gotten on the right track.

Every year, cultivators from various Minor Thousand Worlds would retire, returning through super transmission arrays to their respective hundred-plus Minor Thousand Worlds, back to their homelands.

At the same time, cultivators from a hundred-plus Minor Thousand Worlds, after unified training at boot camps, would come through super transmission arrays to various Minor Thousand Worlds, joining a strange army they had never heard of before.

Here, having left their homelands, arriving in

an unfamiliar world, the only thing they could rely on was the Immortal Gate's laws.

No single race formed an army on its own.

All armies were mixed; even though this affected the strength of some battle formations, and same-race legions were indeed more powerful, the instability within them was detested by the Immortal Gate.

In the army, serving Minor Thousand World cultivators would receive Gong Fa, magic treasures, pills, and so on; their families would receive tax reductions; and after retirement they themselves would receive a large subsidy.

Overall, the treatment of Minor Thousand World conscripted legions was the middle starting point among cultivators of the same rank, with a bright future; therefore, the enthusiasm of the myriad races' cultivators in the Minor Thousand Worlds for joining the army was very high, often facing much competition, having to defeat many opponents in political assessment, talent, comprehension, and other aspects, in order to obtain a spot to join the army.

At this point, the hundred-year pacification war finally came to an end.

Dayang Dayang Tianchi, the Sun Abyss.

Jiang Ding sat cross-legged beneath the Sun Divine Tree, endless radiance gathering in, undergoing continuous refinement through the six paths of reincarnation, condensing, and combined with Dayang Dayang Tianchi's sword-refining formation, forming a terrifying high temperature enough to make Void Refining True Reverents tremble.

At the center of the radiance, the No. 1 Synthetic Synthetic Gengjin, which had been smelted for over a hundred years, finally fully liquefied, merging with the surrounding heavenly materials and earthly treasures, thread by thread, integrating into the Taiqing Flying Sword in its crimson critical state, transforming into mysterious destruction rule runes, imprinted within the Taiqing Flying Sword.

Finally, beside the Great Sun Destruction Rule Divine Prohibition, a hazy core of destruction rule prohibition spread out.

At this point, the radiance gradually faded, and the sword-refining that had lasted over a hundred years was finally completed.

The aura of the Taiqing Flying Sword had strengthened somewhat.

"A Void Refining spatial treasure, rule prohibitions..."

Jiang Ding gently picked up the Taiqing Flying Sword, carefully sensing the prohibitions within, especially that hazy, not-yet-formed-entity core of destruction rule prohibition.

Through this meticulous sword-refining, he had vaguely come to understand the destruction rule more.

Affected by the destruction rule, among the six orders of the Taiqing Flying Sword, the Yuan Magnet Order had subtly begun to change, undergoing a leap toward the Yuan Magnet Rule.

"The second destruction rule prohibition still needs ten more times to truly be refined, that is, one thousand years."

"And the perfection of a Void Refining spatial treasure is nine rule prohibitions."

Jiang Ding calculated: "That is to say, I need nine thousand years to refine the Taiqing Flying Sword to perfection... no, it's not that simple; the further on, the more difficult the refining; it's impossible for every rule prohibition to take one thousand years."

"Roughly estimated, it will probably take seventeen thousand years for the Taiqing Flying Sword to become a top-grade Void Refining spatial treasure."

"Relative to the thirty-thousand-year lifespan of a Void Refining cultivator, it seems quite fast..."

"My ass!"

"Sev

enteen thousand years!"

Jiang Ding sighed.

"That's the lifespan of two generations of Soul Transformation cultivators; even for me, after seventeen thousand years I'll have reached the end of my life, with only a few thousand years left to live."

The deeper one walked the Immortal Dao, the longer the time required; he was already used to it.

"There should be a way to accelerate..."

Jiang Ding searched through the Great Sun Sword Pavilion inheritance, and quickly found one inheritance: "《Taiyin Taiyang Sword-Refining Method》... the inheritance of the Sun Moon Sword Pavilion, requires a Taiyin Sword Child, no."

"《Sun Sword-Refining Method》, the sword-refining method used by the Sun Sword Child alone when the Taiyin Sword Child is not present, but it's very dangerous, with death at any moment; this inheritance has the highest efficiency, the most excellent, coming from the Upper Realm's Great Yin Yang Sword Realm; besides the danger, it also requires many heavenly materials and earthly treasures unique to the Upper Realm."

"《Great Sun Sword-Refining Method》, something created by successive Great Sun Sword Lords with reference to the 《Sun Sword-Refining Method》; its efficiency is one-tenth of the 《Sun Sword-Refining Method》; its advantage is that all materials can be found in the Jiao Jiao Mingyu, and it doesn't require a Taiyin Sword Child; besides this, the flying sword's power, speed, potential, and all other aspects are inferior to the 《Sun Sword-Refining Method》."

"This is normal; the Great Sun Sword Pavilion is inferior to the Great Yin Yang Sword Realm."

"First use the 《Great Sun Sword-Refining Method》."

Jiang Ding quickly made a decision, walking the same path as successive Great Sun Sword Lords.

There was no choice; the Jiao Jiao Mingyu and the Upper Realm were completely different Immortal Dao environments, with vastly different heavenly materials and earthly treasures, humanities, and geography; inheritances in all aspects could not be fully interchangeable, and materials couldn't even be gathered completely.

The foundation for comprehending the 《Great Sun Sword-Refining Method》 was Sword Realm sword arts and perfected sword intent; this was not a problem for him.

Beep beep!

At this moment, the bird-like super battleship Great Sun within the Sun Divine Tree projected a scene: a military conference convened by many Immortal Gate Tianjuns and Void Refining True Reverents, with battleships filling the sky.

were Yuan, Zhenjun Shenji Zhen Zun, and others.

"Marshal!"

Jiang Ding rose and saluted.

"Great Sun Vice Marshal!"

Yuan raised a hand in return, smiling: "Congratulations on completing the suppression of the rebellion and opening the Immortal Gate's logistical corridor. This has freed our front lines from all worries at the rear. You've worked hard."

"Not at all, it's you seniors on the front lines who've worked hard."

Jiang Ding was a little embarrassed.

On his end, the intensity of the battlefield really was a bit lower, enough to make one drowsy — nothing like the front-line battlefield, where at any moment a Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Dao-Unification could be born, a terrifying prospect.

"It's the same."

"No big difference."

Yuan returned to business: "Great Sun Vice Marshal, according to the deployment we made one thousand four hundred and twenty-seven years ago, now that a Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Dao-Unification is about to be born, the 'Heaven-Dao Hunting Plan' is about to be executed. We ask that you immediately head to the front line, take command at Solar Star, and let the Immortal Gate complete one leap, so that it finally possesses the right to survive within the realm."

"A deployment from one thousand four hundred years ago?"

Jiang Ding was startled.

He had absolutely no idea what Yuan was talking about.

He had absolutely no idea what Yuan Zaichao was talking about.

The next moment, as a certain seal within his consciousness shattered,

his divine soul received a specific piece of outside information. After obtaining numerous key clues, the blank spaces in his divine soul were spontaneously filled in, and he once again recovered his complete memories. There was no longer any absolute need for secrecy — the moment to show the dagger had arrived.

After his divine soul received certain specific external information and obtained many key clues, the blank areas of his divine soul spontaneously filled themselves in, and he once again recovered his complete memories. There was no longer any absolute need for secrecy; the time had come to show the dagger after the map was unrolled.

Jiang Ding suddenly understood.

"I'll be there right away."

He said immediately.

One thousand four hundred years ago, when the war in Jiao Jiao Mingyu was inevitable, the many Canghai Tianjun of the Immortal Gate and the Great Sun Sword Child, through the Central Array Spirit Computer, had extrapolated the scene of a Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Dao-Unification about to appear today.

For this, they expended enormous manpower and material resources — even exceeding the terrifying expenditure of the Jiao Jiao Mingyu war — to formulate a corresponding project.

A plan centered on curses, positioning, and the net of Heaven-Dao rules.

For the absolute secrecy of this plan, the many Canghai Tianjun who participated completely sealed and erased the memories within their divine souls, only awakening the relevant memories upon receiving specific information or upon entering the Heaven-Dao Hunting Plan laboratory.

Among them, the Great Sun Sword Child and many cultivators of the Immortal Gate Sword-Dao Science Academy were deeply involved in every aspect of this plan.

Many key nodes required his presence to fully unfold — this was precisely the reason Yuan had begun to recall him.

Many of the critical junctures required his presence to fully unfold, which was precisely why Yuan had begun recalling him.
