Chapter 1524: The Terrifying Great Sun Awakening Ground

In the flickering light of teleportation.

The Immortal Sect's delegates arrived via a super-teleportation array, taking over the defense of this realm.

The Demon Heaven Realm has, since ancient times, been the Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie closest to the heart of the Ancient God Domain; flying from this world for tens of millions of kilometers reveals an endless sea of black mist, boundless and radiating a chilling, terrifying aura.

Even a Dao-Union Divine Lord feels a creeping dread upon arriving here.

No one knows why—it's simply an instinctive, uncontrollable fear.

Jiang Ding silently gazed upon this black mist star-sea.

In his mind-sea, his exquisitely sharp soul, nearly on par with the Dao Heir of the Upper Realm's Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong, also sensed a faint icy, slimy sensation—deeply unpleasant, yet he could not trace its origin.

"Heavenly Person…"

Jiang Ding whispered coldly.

He would surely become a Heavenly Person in the future.

This was determined by his foundation—no doubt at all; the current struggles and battles were merely to draw closer to Jiang Jiang Jinxian and True Immortals.

But this did not mean he could underestimate, or recklessly attempt to cross the gap to a Heavenly Person.

He would surely become a Heavenly Person.

And before him stood a Heavenly Person who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years!

Historically, this astonishingly brilliant Ancient God Ancestor, human lineage-bearer, had slain nearly a dozen Heavenly Persons, forcibly turning the Ancient God Domain from the Age of Demons into the Age of Humans through terror and slaughter, suppressing this realm for hundreds of thousands of years.

In that era, humanity had no other Soul Transformation cultivator besides the Ancient God Ancestor—yet they were unquestionably the supreme race of the realm.

This was the terror of this Heavenly Person.

He had reached the peak of the Heavenly Person realm, sealed himself away, and set countless measures—all to transcend the Heavenly Person stage and become a Jiang Jiang Jinxian-level power.

He sought to establish a feat equal to that of the Upper Realm's Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong!

Could such a being, with such terrifying ambition, be crossed in rank?

"Heh,"

"this Ancient God elder's luck certainly hasn't been as good as mine…"

Jiang Ding suddenly thought, smirking: "What are the odds of a Heavenly Person, without lineage inheritance, leaping across the chasm to Jiang Jiang Jinxian through sheer effort alone?"

"The difficulty is terrifyingly extreme."

"Even I, had I no ancestral legacy, would find it exceedingly difficult to leap from the peak of Heavenly Person to Jiang Jiang Jinxian…"

"Thinking this way, I feel much better."

Jiang Ding murmured to himself.

Time is a terrifying and merciless force; even an astonishingly brilliant peak Heavenly Person like the Ancient God Ancestor must have suffered greatly, unable to revive smoothly.

Perhaps

this is the Immortal Sect's and my opportunity.

Jiang Ding walked slowly through the starry void, as the surrounding heavens and earth rotated and cosmic laws shifted.

After several steps, a colossal solar observatory appeared before him—spanning tens of millions of kilometers, layered with chaotic array patterns, built from countless optical mirror gears.

The giant observatory radiated majestic brilliance; rings of rune-light rippled and converged at its center, making even the tiniest rule visible with perfect clarity—even from Minor Thousand Worlds over a dozen realms away.

The Solar Observatory!

A seventh-rank supreme artifact of the Immortal Sect, its design had been drawn up long ago, but due to scarce resources, it was only truly forged three hundred years ago after a massive influx of heavenly treasures, then deployed here to observe terrifying entities capable of obliterating the Immortal Sect in an instant.

The Immortal Sect's Council placed great hopes on this artifact.

Yet, since its deployment over three hundred years ago, after countless scientific experiments, the final result remained unchanged—the black mist showed no alteration whatsoever.

This contradicted the Council's discussions, the Central Array Spirit Computer's simulations, and common logic.

Could a Heavenly Person truly die completely, leaving not a single backup plan?

The Immortal Sect's Council hoped so—but dared not treat such a result as fact.

Thus, as soon as the Immortal Sect's strongest individual, the Great Sun Sword Master, had fully recovered from his injuries, he was immediately dispatched to the Solar Observatory to oversee all operations.

"Greetings, Great Sun Councilor!"

"Greetings, Deputy Commander!"

When the green-robed youth appeared and completed multiple identity verifications by the Central Array Spirit Computer, Mingri Zhenzun and the other thirty-six Soul Transformation cultivators, along with tens of thousands of Jin Dan cultivators, bowed deeply.

Yes, merely in this location, the Immortal Sect had deployed dozens of Soul Transformation cultivators, tens of thousands of Jin Dan cultivators, and over a hundred million Yuan Ying, Jin Dan, and Foundation Establishment researchers—all Immortal Sect citizens, each an exceptional scholar who had achieved outstanding results in their field and been transferred here.

Among them, Mingri Zhenzun was the most critical.

In the Immortal Sect, many cultivators regarded Mingri Zhenzun as the second-generation strongest after Yuan and Zhenjun Shenji Zhenzun, one of the brightest jewels of the Immortal Sect's education system; though still relatively young, he had already shown talent approaching that of Zhenjun Shenji Zhenzun and others, making him the most outstanding of the second-generation citizen-cultivators.

Of course, the Great Sun Sword Master was an anomaly—he didn't count.

Rumors claimed that Mingri Zhenzun, already at mid-Soul Transformation, was about to enter the Immortal Sect Council as one of its nine Councilors.

If Mingri Zhenzun could, as he once did with the spell "Sun Breath Heavenly Lock," successfully develop a spell targeting the black mist Heavenly Person's aura,

then even if this were rumor,

it would surely become reality in the future.

Unfortunately, it remained impossible.

"Greetings, all of you."

"Greetings, Elder Mingri."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly.

In that instant, a flood of research data, experimental procedures, and results from the Solar Observatory project surged toward him—complex and chaotic, enough to overload and burst the soul of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, dangerously so.

When Mingri Zhenzun oversaw this project, he barely held back his soul from crashing and rebooting, using every ounce of his strength.

"Hey,"

"be careful…"

He could not help but speak to that tiny little youth.

Yet he saw these experimental data streams pour into the youth's divine soul, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, not stirring a single ripple, absorbed, digested, and understood in an instant.

At the same time, streaks of brilliant, resplendent array patterns spread outward to the surrounding Immortal Gate cultivators, causing their divine sense reaction speed, brain cell activity, and Dharma body liveliness to all receive an enormous boost in an instant.

Void Refinement cultivators increased by eighty to ninety percent; Soul Transformation cultivators increased several times over.

Nascent Soul, Jin Dan, and Foundation Establishment cultivators increased by ten-odd times, or even instantly gained several hundred times the computing power of the divine soul; their ability to comprehend and sort out Immortal Dao knowledge was greatly strengthened—terribly so.

"This is the legendary…"

Many Immortal Gate citizens experiencing this warm power for the first time felt a tremor in their hearts, recalled the records in the literature, and hurriedly focused their minds, holding their breath, carefully contemplating and experiencing their own Dao path, as well as handling the work they ought to do.

One of the supreme arts of the Immortal Gate education world, a miraculous art pioneered by the Great Sun Sword Master—the Great Sun Dao Comprehension Field!

Within this Dao Comprehension Field, a cultivator's comprehension and divine soul liveliness were greatly enhanced, and the lower the cultivator's cultivation, the more terrifying the effect; aside from the tendency to force premature growth, it had no drawbacks whatsoever.

Moreover, this drawback of forcing premature growth—

If a cultivator chose to comprehend the Dao in moderation, then devoted all their energy to their work, this drawback would also vanish in an instant; raising work efficiency by several times over would be effortless.

This, then, was the pinnacle existence of the Immortal Gate education world, the teacher of countless Immortal Gate cultivators.
