Chapter 1525: The Material Foundation for the Birth of Heaven-Humans Is Already in Place

The Solar Watchtower here had become a massive immortal-path analytical instrument, a super-giant scientific research military formation, this research analytical formation was processing all manner of past experimental data, its efficiency several times, even ten times, greater than before.

Completely different now.

Immortal sect cultivators came and went.

Foundation Establishment and Jin Dan cultivators took turns on duty, working, or resting, cultivating; Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, and Void Refinement cultivators did the same, though their work-rest cycle frequency was far lower than that of the lower-ranked cultivators.

This collective deliberation of over a hundred million immortal sect research elites lasted for more than forty years, then gradually came to an end.

"I found it."

"The spiritual energy particles have undergone changes, subtle variations at the one-in-ten-millionths-of-a-chi scale."

Jiang Ding, within the Great Sun Dao Comprehension Ground, dismissed the research military formation and, rubbing the space between his brows, said: "The fundamental spiritual energy particles in the universe are essentially unchanging; aside from a few extremely rare special locations where slight variations were detected, everywhere else is identical."

"Those few locations produce variant fundamental spiritual energy particles that are all treasures, rare research materials."

"However, in this place—"

Jiang Ding pointed at the boundless sea of black mist overhead: "Every single particle here is a changed fundamental spiritual energy particle; over these three hundred years, the fundamental spiritual energy particles have grown more active, increasing by one-one-thousandth-of-one-ten-millionth."

"Is this a coincidence?"

"Will the fundamental spiritual energy particles continue to undergo new changes going forward?"

"These are what we must repeatedly verify from here on."

Jiang Ding indicated a possible direction.

"Understood, Great Sun Councillor!"

The surrounding immortal sect cultivators, greatly encouraged, said loudly.

Truly worthy of being the legendary Senior Great Sun—one move and he can pinpoint the problem precisely.

"Amazing…"

True Venerable Mie Ri was somewhat dejected.

After toiling away here for several hundred years, it was still less effective than one casual visit from this man.

It could even be said that if this man had not come, he could have researched for another two thousand years without finding any valuable leads—the gap was simply too vast.

"Senior Mie Ri, you're being too attached to appearances."

Jiang Ding chuckled lightly.

"Don't—"

"Don't comfort me, I know my own worth."

True Venerable Mie Ri waved his hand, cutting off Jiang Ding's words: "You little brat, don't underestimate people; we've gone through countless failures in the past, we're not about to lose our fighting spirit over a momentary discouragement."

"This great lord is invincible!"

"Not bad."

"It's good that Senior Mie Ri has such confidence."

Jiang Ding praised, then spoke frankly: "Your experimental data is very well done; in this area you have

keen insight, and the raw experimental data you provided is of great value."

"Besides, back then you were merely a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet you managed to develop the Sun-Breath Heaven-Locking Spirit Pursuit Art targeting Zou Zou Xiyuan, earning the honored title of Mie Ri Dao—how imposing and domineering was that?"

"Now that you've reached Void Refinement, a mere Heaven-Human, could it possibly stump you?"

Jiang Ding goaded him.

The resolutions of the Immortal Sect Council all had their reasons.

True Venerable Mie Ri could be called an eccentric genius; he had worked miracles in the past, and many immortal sect powerhouses hoped such a miracle would occur once more.

Though the goading tactic was old, it still worked on those who liked it.

"Of course not."

"Brat, watch closely!"

True Venerable Mie Ri's confidence soared: "Leave it to this great lord—back then I could beat Zou Zou Xiyuan, and now I can do it again just the same; this true venerable's Dao path is staking everything right here…"

……

Work at the Solar Watchtower was in full swing, and production and construction elsewhere had not been neglected either.

Under Jiang Ding's watchful supervision, immortal-path factories across the immortal sect sprouted up like bamboo shoots after rain, and various R&D plans advanced in an orderly fashion.

Relying on the local advantages within the realm, they refined and cultivated the materials the immortal sect needed.

For example, the Weaving Sky Spider clan—they could produce the seventh-tier Celestial Crystal Flowing Light Silk the immortal sect required, an important keel material for the sect's stellar-grade warships, offering some auxiliary effects on energy conduction, divine-sense signal transmission, and the accommodation and computation of army souls.

Of course, it was only one of many auxiliary materials.

The immortal sect had long since stopped crudely using demon beasts and natural materials from nature to simply refine magic treasures, placing greater emphasis on standardization, uniformity, and synthesis; besides, the Weaving Sky Spider clan could not produce natural materials exceeding the performance limits of the sect's synthetic materials.

In fact, they were far inferior to the Dark-Bright Sword Grotto-Heaven.

The Dark-Bright Sword Grotto-Heaven, at any rate, refined through inheritance and could continuously improve its techniques.

The Weaving Sky Spider clan—its cultivators themselves were simply one of the raw materials for seventh-tier Celestial Crystal Flowing Light Silk.

This seventh-tier material was developed by the immortal sect; the Weaving Sky Spider clan was one step in the process, not that the seventh-tier Celestial Crystal Flowing Light Silk originated from the Weaving Sky Spider clan's inheritance.

They did not have that capability.

Naturally, the immortal sect was civilized; it would not, like demonic cultivators, swallow them alive or refine them forcibly, extracting souls and refining spirits—it merely let them work, and all the rest, cultivation, and entertainment stipulated in the indigenous cultivator management laws were provided as due.

Besides the Weaving Sky Spider clan, there were also the Black Horn Ant clan's seventh-tier Great Strength Vajra Demon Iron, the Dark Nether Black Sky Crane clan's Black Sky Feather Leaves, the Vine Dragon clan's Silver-Hehe Ancient Wood…

These and the like were all achievements of the immortal sect's scientists.

Within the realm there originally existed many

natural immortal-path technical treasures; the immortal sect's immortal-path scientists merely inducted, explored, and summarized these naturally existing things, then introduced better materials to serve as raw materials for the sect's stellar-grade warships and various formations and magic treasures.

As numerous materials were overcome, the timeline for the birth of the immortal sect's stellar-grade Death Star warships kept shrinking.

And so it went—production, R&D, construction.

Time slipped by unnoticed; before he knew it, a thousand years had passed, and the Immortal Gate's Ten-Thousand-Year Plan had already completed one-tenth of its course.

On this day, within the Great Sun Heavenly Pool atop the solar observation platform, the Taiqing Flying Sword let out crisp, pleasant trills imbued with countless supreme truths of the Sword Dao, its aura surging upward in a single bound.

The twelfth solar-law seal — complete!

In that instant, the Taiqing Flying Sword had become a mid-grade Dao-Combining treasure. Its might underwent a tremendous transformation; every minor realm of advancement produced an entirely different burst of offensive power.

"Not bad."

"Still need to keep working hard."

Jiang Ding opened his eyes slightly, then closed them again, sinking back into cultivation and research.

By some coincidence, at this very moment, a report arrived from the Immortal Gate's Central Army Group, stationed far away in the world-cluster of the Badaxian Sect within the Ancient God Domain.

The Immortal Gate's Central Army Group had completed the full occupation and construction of the Badaxian Sect worlds in the Ancient God Domain; Yuan and the others were currently holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the first batch of produced heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

From this moment on, the first-phase construction of the Immortal Gate's Forty-One Domains Ten-Thousand-Year Plan is complete.

From now on, the Immortal Gate's wealth will grow at a doubling pace, and will continue to do so for a very long time, until it reaches a limit.

Only with such terrifying manpower and material resources does one truly have the right to bring the Heavenly Beings into the research plan, attempting to contend with them and survive.

The material foundation of the Heavenly Beings has already begun to take shape.
