Chapter 1665: The Most Ancient Treasure of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion

With so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures on him, the first thing Jiang Ding wanted to do was put them to use.

For a sword cultivator, having heavenly materials and earthly treasures one cannot use up and letting them gather dust in a warehouse is shameful — a tremendous waste. No cultivator would do this, except one whose path had hit a complete dead end at a bottleneck.

"The first one: build a solar-system-class warship."

Jiang Ding found a use for these heavenly materials and earthly treasures: "Investing in high-precision heavy industry can greatly promote the progress of the Immortal Gate's industry, increase employment, and raise the level of the Immortal Gate's Immortal Dao scientific development. In fact, the current Immortal Gate is still unable to truly begin building a solar-system-class warship and can only do some preliminary preparatory work."

"Only when a large number of Dao Merging Divine Monarchs are born and many qualified senior technical personnel appear will building a solar-system-class warship become a reality. Otherwise, a large group of Void Refinement cultivators simply cannot fully lead such a super project."

"Another thing is that the many Dao Merging Divine Monarchs of the Immortal Gate need posts; without posts they cannot cultivate or advance."

"A solar-system-class warship holds great significance for the Immortal Gate."

"The second use: issue low-interest loans, lent to the Immortal Gate, to be used in building the solar-system-class Immortal Gate flagship, the Freedom Immortal Gate."

Jiang Ding continued his planning.

Although the Freedom Immortal Gate was under his command, it was the wealth of all the Immortal Gate's citizens — a governing ship, not some individual's private warship — so its funding also went through the Immortal Gate's public accounts.

"The third use: to continue research and development of eighth-tier sword arts, eighth-tier sword-forging material smelting research, and Six Paths of Reincarnation structural research, further solidifying my own foundation."

Once these three major investment projects were launched, they would surely invigorate the Immortal Gate's economy and make the paths of the many Dao Merging Divine Monarchs smoother. At the same time, the Great Sun Sword Lord himself would not be at a loss, having obtained many extremely high-quality technical engineers for the construction of his own warship.

This kind of investment project was far better than simple bestowal.

Bestowed spirit pills and dharma treasures were used up and that was that. With these investments done, the Immortal Gate would surely establish a complete Heaven-Human-grade industrial system and research system, benefiting all the Immortal Gate's citizens.

"Let it be so."

"It should be possible to complete the construction of the eighth-tier super warship Great Sun within roughly twenty thousand years."

Jiang Ding made an estimate, drew up a twenty-thousand-year investment research plan, and submitted it to the Immortal Gate Academy of Sciences.

At that instant, the entire Immortal Gate Academy of Sciences was shaken.

At this moment, the greatest and most terrifying investor in the history of the Immortal Gate had appeared, about to make an unprecedented terrifying investment in the Immortal Gate. Faced with such an investment, these Void Refinement cultivators were not even qualified to plan or revise it, and could only submit it once more to the Immortal Gate's administration, requesting the governing officials' instructions and revisions.

……

At this time, Jiang Ding had already returned to the inner solar system.

Within the solar orbit, a palace similar to Dayang Dayang Tianchi appeared,

running within the solar system as it had for tens of thousands of years past, without causing any ripple.

The original Dayang Dayang Tianchi automatically shrank to the size of a fist and flew into this palace, like a little doll.

"Dayan Jianzi?"

"What happened?!!!"

This scene of being completely out of control of herself made Yue feel something was very wrong; every hair on her body stood on end, and she instantly puffed up into a ball.

"Yue, it's an old senior."

Jiang Ding explained.

"Old senior!"

"What old senior!!!"

Yue instantly flared up in rage: "You little eighteenth-generation Dayan Jianzi, in the Great Sun Sword Pavilion I am the oldest senior. I already existed when the first-generation Great Sun Sword Lord was born."

"I am the oldest!"

"What are you doing?!"

In the Cultivation World, being ancient represented status, represented strength.

"This……"

Jiang Ding was at a loss for words.

A feeling of embarrassment rose in his heart; he always felt that he had completely betrayed Yue, that he was a heartless great traitor.

Hum!

At this moment, the Great Sun Heavenly Palace cast down a ray of grand, magnificent light onto Dayang Dayang Tianchi.

"Little Dayan Jianzi, remember! I am the most ancient—"

Yue raged, but instantly fell speechless.

Her face instantly turned iron-blue, then white, shifting back and forth between blue and white, changing nonstop as if she had opened a dyehouse.

Plop!

The next moment, Yue dropped to her knees with a plop.

She fawned: "Greetings, Ancestor of the Solar Heavenly Palace!"

"How have you been, old senior?"

"Tens of thousands of years, and your elegance remains unchanged, radiant and full of spirit — simply younger than back then. Little Yue sees it and can't help but be envious…"

"Let me tell you, back in the days of the first-generation Great Sun Sword Lord, I strongly opposed it. I was even severely wounded by the first-generation Great Sun Sword Lord for it, but Little Yue still did not give up, did not abandon.

All these years I have been toiling away for the Yue lineage, and finally, heaven took pity — Little Yue finally found the Youming Sword Cave Heaven's Taiyou inheritance Dayan Jianzi, painstakingly cultivating her, and also Yu Yu Qianzi…"

Yue instantly dropped to her knees and groveled.

She recognized the Great Sun Heavenly Palace — the former Solar Heavenly Palace.

Tens of thousands of years ago, at the end of the Great Tribulation, Dayang Dayang Tianchi had been personally refined inside the Solar Heavenly Palace by the previous-generation Solar Sword Lord, Linyang Supreme, and then cast out into the distant starry sky.

The Solar Heavenly Palace — how could Yue not recognize it?

As for the title of Taiyou Dayan Jianzi, it was also legitimate.

When Linyang Supreme cast out the inheritance seeds, he personally bestowed the Dayan Jianzi title upon all the inheritance seeds, placing deep hopes upon them, hoping these seeds would in the future

once again revitalize the sect.

"Ancestor!"

"She's lying!"

At some unknown moment, Youming Pool had appeared within the Great Sun Heavenly Palace, in the form of a little girl with black hair and a palace skirt, and immediately tattled: "Dayang Dayang Tianchi has always tried to kill the Dayan Jianzi of the Yue lineage — especially Yu Yu Qianzi. She has long suffered unfair treatment, been suppressed."

"I have proof!"

"Lowly Spirit, shut up!"

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Yue looked up, staring at the Nether Pool with a threat full of killing intent: "Do you want to be shattered? You scrap-metal fish pond, say one more word and I'll tear you apart!"

"You..."

The Nether Pool flew into a rage, yet for a moment dared not speak.

The Great Sun Dayang Dayang Tianchi, just like the Great Sun Lineage, was terrifyingly mad, and its power was formidable; if she truly attacked without the Great Sun Sword Master intervening, the Nether Pool would inevitably shatter.

Buzz!

More light erupted from the Great Sun Sky Palace, silencing the two Spirits.

"Sword Disciple,"

"A formation Spirit with awakened life consciousness has been detected. To preserve the Great Sun Dayang Dayang Tianchi, should it be destroyed?"

The voice of the Great Sun Sky Palace grew solemn and deep.

This was a supreme treasure of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm that had always operated flawlessly, cold and merciless, representing the ancient dignity of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Law, without a shred of emotion.

'Sword Disciple?'

Yue's eyes lit up, instantly becoming excited.

"No need to erase it."

"This is the most ancient supreme treasure of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, sealing the sword techniques of past Great Sun Sword Masters, sealing the transmission of Immortal Arts; it will ascend to the Near-Immortal rank in the future. Its birth of life is of no consequence; this is the joint choice of all past Great Sun Sword Masters."

Jiang Ding said calmly.
