Chapter 2078: The Immortal Dao Universal Constant Formula Named Jiang Ding (Makeup for Yesterday's Part 2)
Time gradually calmed down.
Like almost all True Immortals, the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal adopted a policy of clinging to tradition in her early years, making no radical changes to the outside world, preserving all traditions wholesale, cultivating patiently, patiently measuring the Immortal Dao universal constants.
Jiang Ding sat in command within the Immortal Sect.
Through the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Pivot, through the Supreme Great Sun Celestial Palace, the raw data of the Vermillion Bird Star Region, the Fallen Immortal Realm, and the countless human-inhabited star regions across the Endless Starry Sky were collected and recorded by him, all of it logged into the Supreme Great Sun Celestial Palace and the central array-spirit computer of the Immortal Sect.
Under his direction, a project of staggering scale began — a real Immortal Dao universal constant measurement undertaking that mobilized countless prodigies and countless Immortal Dao beings across the entire Endless Starry Sky.
Jiang Ding sat upright within the sun, black-and-white light flickering in his pupils — this was the universe-grade Immortal Dao computer running, processing the Immortal Dao universal data gathered and aggregated from every region, searching for the essential patterns within.
The ultimate goal was to form a formula.
This formula would have to be an ugly, complicated empirical formula like those of fluid mechanics — beings beneath Immortal could not form precise mathematical formulas describing the Immortal Dao universe.
This formula could be named the Jiang Ding Immortal Dao Universal Constant Formula.
This formula could also be named the "Method-Destroying Solar Immortal Scripture."
Every Human Sovereign, every True Immortal would form such an empirical Immortal Dao universal constant formula unique to themselves; whoever formed the more accurate Immortal Dao universal constant empirical formula would survive the Immortal Dao universal war and achieve supremacy across the Endless Starry Sky.
Jiang Ding was like a wooden puppet, like withered stone — every ounce of his energy poured into processing data, leaving only his pupils flickering with black-and-white light, like the blinking indicator lights of a computer.
During this process, through the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Pivot, the Ten Thousand Laws True Immortal — this universe-grade Immortal Dao computer — would from time to time exchange information with the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dao computer; each would finish processing the problems it needed, then part ways without the slightest reluctance. Every True Immortal was hoarding their own strength.
In the blink of an eye, thirty thousand years had passed.
On this day, here at the Immortal Sect, around the Immortal Sect's most ancient cultivator, all manner of chaotic anomalies arose — as if unknown beings were opening the heavens and splitting the earth, beings being born within the chaos, the four seasons evolving forth, mountains and rivers emerging from the chaos, and even the sun, moon, and stars appearing…
It was exactly like the opening of heaven and earth!
If any cultivator with sufficiently ancient inheritance witnessed this scene, they would surely prostrate themselves in worship, lying flat on the ground, not daring to approach even an inch as if on pilgrimage.
Because — this was a True Immortal opening her Dao!
This was a True Immortal ascending!
A True Immortal in the midst of ascension — how terrifying was that?
A being invincible beneath the heavens was appear
ing!
But these terrifying, endlessly enviable anomalies had only just begun when they were casually snuffed out by the being within the chaos — all the heaven-opening portents came to an abrupt halt.
"Heaven-opening portents…"
"Is the Jiang Ding Immortal Dao Universal Constant Empirical Formula already barely usable?"
Jiang Ding murmured to himself.
He had watched the heaven-opening portents just now with his own eyes.
This kind of omen meant that the Jiang Ding Immortal Dao Universal Constant Empirical Formula had taken initial shape — if he fed in external rule data, spatial data, stellar data, spiritual energy data, and the like, it could ultimately calculate an Immortal Dao universal constant.
Through this "true" Immortal Dao universal constant, the sword arts Jiang Ding executed, as well as the power of heaven and earth his divine sense, magic power, and sword intent could leverage, would far exceed his past self; he could even apply the calculated Immortal Dao universal constant to Immortal Dao industry, likewise guiding the development of every Immortal Dao trade and triggering a great explosion in Immortal Dao technology.
But it was not enough.
Although this Jiang Ding Immortal Dao Universal Constant Empirical Formula had reached the minimum threshold, it still was not accurate enough.
In the Immortal Dao universe, the Immortal Dao universal constant empirical formula was not just any casually applied formula — it was the cultivator's Gong Fa, the structure of their magic power, their divine sense, their will; it was another self. Once fixed, changing it was far too difficult, equivalent to scraping bone and curing poison at the level of the divine soul's origin.
Once one achieved True Immortal Sovereign with the current Jiang Ding Immortal Dao Universal Constant Empirical Formula, one would essentially be the weakest True Immortal Sovereign.
"Take it slow, keep deducing."
"I have so many advantages, so much time — I will not be content until the Jiang Ding Immortal Dao Universal Constant Empirical Formula is deduced to the point where no further progress can be made…"
Jiang Ding murmured to himself.
At this moment, a faint ripple came from afar — the ripple of some rule-branch extreme ascension.
This ripple was the ripple of a rule-branch extreme being born within the Immortal Sect's traditional Immortal Sect Nine Scriptures — an event worthy of being inscribed in history and recorded by the Immortal Sect.
"Is the 'Heavenly Qingfeng Beidou Scripture of All Realms' about to birth a Sovereign?"
Jiang Ding thought calmly.
Time flew like a shuttle; the Immortal Sect's talents surged forward wave after wave, and eventually prodigies emerged, never falling behind.
……
Beneath the Supreme Great Sun Celestial Palace, the Gods-and-Buddhas Great Thousand World.
In the depths of the palace, a youth in blue robes walked out of the palace, stepped in a single stride into the vast starry sky, stood beside Li Yuan, and quietly gazed at the distant Lei Ting and heavenly tribulation.
"Zhen, it has been a long time."
Jiang Ding took the initiative to bow to a weathered old man.
This was respect for the Immortal Sect's governance — even if the man was far younger than him, if Zhen had truly stepped down, the present scene would not have occurred.
"Paying respects to the Great Sun
Senior!"
Zhen hurriedly returned the courtesy.
When he was born, this old senior had already been an ancient being, one of the supreme powers of the Endless Starry Sky — how would he dare put on airs before him.
"He is called Beiguang Celestial Person, is that right?"
Jiang Ding looked toward the being undergoing tribulation in the distance and asked with a touch of puzzlement: "He, like you, is a cultivator walking the path of the 'Heavenly Qingfeng Beidou Scripture of All Realms' — why has he undergone tribulation a step ahead of you?"
A Sovereign of a specific rule-extreme branch was unique and singular, just as the Wuxingtian Sect and Dengxian Sect each had only one Sovereign.
Every citizen on this path was a competitor.
And judging by current talent and sentiment, Zhen seemed to be the highest.
"Beiguang wanted to ascend a step ahead — I yielded it to him."
"Ascending a step later carries less risk."
Zhen said frankly: "If Beiguang successfully ascends, then I will open up another rule-branch extreme path. The 'Heavenly Qingfeng Beidou Scripture of All Realms' belongs to the Stellar Great Dao — this path can accommodate many rule-branch extremes, not just one."
Open up yet another new rule-branch extreme path?
This immortal sect administrator is indeed confident.
Jiang Ding nodded slightly, indicating he understood.
"Truly,"
"You possess the spirit of the ancient gentlemen!"
Yuan praised, yet with some disagreement: "The Great Dao is meant to be contested. Even though we are all citizens, what is wrong with competing within the bounds of the law?"
"How can the Great Dao be yielded?"
"Becoming a sage is unwise; it violates human nature. A momentary peace will invite profound calamity."
This former administrator warned, pointing out the immense risks of the sage's moral code; such a path is entirely unsustainable.
Interest and emotion are the two great pillars of the immortal sect's Dao heart; lacking one brings terrible risks, a truth proven time and again by history.
Those who rashly attempt to oppose human nature with morality all end in failure.
"I have been taught, Elder Yuan."
Zhen clasped his hands in a bow and said gratefully: "Elder, rest assured. I am certain I will open the Dao again. In the future, I will not fall into a bottleneck and harbor resentment. Even if resentment arises, before that happens, I will voluntarily resign, ensuring personal emotions do not affect the grand scheme of the immortal sect."
He knew this was the advice of an elder who saw through human nature.
