Chapter 2085: The Emperor of the Immortal Gate's Fortune Dynasty's Earth Immortal Dao

Immortal Gate · Solar System.

"So many mortal entanglements, ended before I knew it."

"This Sovereign's old acquaintances today are no longer living beings below Supreme and Dao Child — everyone has died, departed forever, vanished into the long river of time."

"From now on,"

Jiang Ding murmured: "From now on, it will be hard for anyone to disturb This Sovereign's pure cultivation, hard for there to be… any."

Clearly something that should bring joy, yet as he spoke it carried a sorrow that pierced to the bone, lingering long in his heart unable to disperse.

From this day forth, through the slow passage of time, no one will come to disturb him again.

No one will interrupt his cultivation and enlightenment of Dao.

He was about to undergo the longest seclusion since birth, one that might last hundreds of thousands of years, until he deduced the experiential formula for the Immortal Dao universal constant to its limit.

"Let it be so."

Jiang Ding sighed at length, and grew accustomed to it.

The long-lived — such a life must always be grown accustomed to, sooner or later, it must always be grown accustomed to.

He gently closed his eyes, the Great Sun Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul radiating black-and-white mystic light outward, tirelessly observing the data of the Immortal Dao Heavenly Dao universe, receiving one scientific research project after another submitted by human geniuses from every corner of the endless starry sky, constantly handling problems in the crafting of spells, Gong Fa, and magic treasures.

In such unceasing exploration, under the gaze of the Central Array Spirit Computer, the Supreme Grand Sun Sword Immortal became a statue, a statue existing together with the sun, with the universe, with the Heavenly Dao.

Time seemed to lose its meaning within the Sword Immortal's consciousness.

The passage of time changed almost nothing upon him, unable to cause any change in a single strand of his hair, a single cell, as if he had already drawn close to eternity.

Time could change nothing upon the Sword Immortal.

Only that eternally operating Sea of Consciousness, and the endless starry sky where Immortal Dao science and technology constantly changed, proclaimed that life was undergoing change.

Unknowingly, two hundred thousand years passed.

……

Jiang Ding slowly opened his eyes, countless stars shining within his pupils, as if an entire universe were revolving within.

The aura of transcendence upon him grew ever thicker, the Immortal Dao universal constant drawing ever closer to truth, as if at any moment he would take that step, ascend through feathered transformation, and thoroughly transcend.

At this moment, the existence named the Jiang Ding Immortal Dao Universal Constant Experiential Formula, or otherwise named the "Law-Destroying Solar Immortal Scripture," had by no means merely reached the lowest threshold of True Immortal Supreme — it had already taken an exceedingly long step forward, a step that could almost launch an endless starry sky war!

"Two hundred thousand years is all, far from enough."

Jiang Ding said indifferently.

A seclusion lasting hundreds of thousands of years seemed to have erased much of his humanity, nearly bringing him to a state like that of the Heavenly Dao, treating all things as straw dogs.

Jiang Ding stepped out and arrived at the coordinates of Sirius.

Two hundred thousand years had passed, and the many heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the Seven Great Star Domains had been transported here for over two hundred thousand years. Ban Cheng Pin imbued with the labor value of countless cultivation cultivators were continuously delivered here through fleets, smelted by this star, causing earth-shaking changes in this star.

That brilliant stellar radiance dispersed.

The star seemed to have gone out.

In its place was a massive star flickering with faint light; within the star, golden metallic liquid flowed slowly, carrying spiritual light, and moreover carrying a terrifying high temperature far beyond that of a spiritless universe, as if it could effortlessly melt space and the rules of ten thousand Daos, subtly affecting the flow of the long river of time here.

This was the Taiqing Flying Sword, the Taiqing Flying Sword that had been refined for over two hundred thousand years.

"Still lacking a bit of finishing…"

Jiang Ding cast down Yi Dao Dao Fa incantations, activating the Solar Sword-Forging Grand Array, expelling the many black-ash impurities from within the planet, packaging them separately, awaiting delivery to the galactic core black hole for processing in the future.

Such high-hazard impurities were extremely dangerous, their harm immense, able to casually affect the ecological environment of the entire Great Thousand World community, and could not be discharged at will.

Clang!

Within the Sirius star, the Taiqing Flying Sword hummed softly, emitting a clear sound.

"Continue waiting."

"The time for your emergence has not yet come."

Jiang Ding soothed in a gentle voice.

The Taiqing Flying Sword gradually calmed, continuing to draw energy from within the star as well as the many heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the Seven Great Star Domains and the Fallen Immortal Realm, further evolving the sword body.

From many years ago, in terms of Gong Fa, sword soul, sword arts, and flying sword, the Supreme Grand Sun Sword Immortal had already ceased to fall behind most True Immortals.

Now, relying on the heaven-made, earth-set environment of the spiritless universe, in flying swords he had even begun to surpass them!

After soothing the Taiqing Flying Sword, Jiang Ding returned once more to the mother star, once more falling into deduction, completely forgetting all manner of things in the outside world — in fact, it was difficult for anything in the outside world to startle him; under the passage of long ages, there were simply too few mortal entanglements.

However, out of sentiment for the Immortal Gate, Jiang Ding still used a single instant to receive the events that had occurred within the Immortal Gate over these two hundred thousand years, whether anything affecting the Immortal Gate's foundational development had appeared.

"Now, after successive waves, with the deaths of at least ten times as many Heaven-Humans, all nine scriptures of the Immortal Gate have given birth to a Supreme."

"Now, the Immortal Gate possesses nine Supremes, including Yuan and Cheng Zhen!"

Cheng Zhen was no longer the Immortal Gate's ruling authority — that was the reason for the change in address.

Those whom the Supreme Grand Sun Sword Immortal had always addressed by a single character were only ever Yuan and the current ruling authority; although Cheng Zhen had rendered great merit to the Immortal Gate, this was insufficient to bring about a change.

"The speed at which Supremes appear within the Immortal Gate will decrease over the next several tens of thousands of years."

"If more Supremes are to appear, then the Heaven-Humans of the Immortal Gate today must open their own Daos, must develop their own various paths themselves."

"Is it difficult?"

"Not difficult."

"The Immortal Gate possesses the most favorable Immortal Dao scientific research environment in the current endless starry sky, inexhaustible inheritances, various preferential treatments within the Great Dream Sword Realm of the endless starry sky, a highly developed Immortal Dao system, and a talent reserve of a million life-bearing planets… with such advantages, if they cannot open Daos and give birth to new Supremes, I will be disappointed."

Jiang Ding swept past this information and continued reading.

"In terms of internal governance, a hidden danger has appeared."

"The Immortal Gate Immortal Dynasty Fortune Dynasty, following its inertia, has given birth to a Fortune Son of the Immortal Dynasty, born within the Immortal Dynasty's fortune, who will in the future surely become the Fortune Son of the Fortune Immortal Dynasty's Emperor."

Jiang Ding's brow furrowed slightly upon seeing this.

Emperor?

Fortune Immortal Dynasty Emperor?

What need do immortal sects have for such chaotic nonsense?

However, in the orthodox Qi Destiny imperial Dao of the terrestrial immortals, if a Qi Destiny empire reaches its peak prosperity, it will inevitably give birth to a sovereign of imperial flourishing, propelling the empire to an even greater height—this is the inertia of Qi Destiny empires.

Immortal sects have no monarch.

Yet, the immortal sects' Qi Destiny imperial Dao lineage draws heavily upon the traditions of conventional Qi Destiny empires; thus, when the immortal sects' Qi Destiny reaches its zenith, the monarch of the Qi Destiny empire is unwittingly born within the boundless, thick Qi Destiny of the immortal sects.

The Central Array Spirit Computer proactively sent this information on the Qi Destiny child of the immortal sects' Qi Destiny imperial Dao, the future Emperor.

"... Li Shiyang is rumored to possess a trace of bloodline from the seventh-generation ruler of the immortal sects, being his nine hundred and twenty-seventh descendant."

"... Before his birth, his mother dreamed of a true dragon entering her womb at night; the entire life planet was shrouded in red light, and strange omens continually appeared, with purple qi constantly rising in the sky of the life planet..."

"... At the moment of his birth, immortal cranes arrived bearing orchids and jade herbs to offer congratulations..."

"... Moreover, a meteor pierced through the life planet's layered orbital weapons, a meteor as large as the moon passing through the atmosphere, continuously burning until it transformed into a jade seal resembling black jade, landing in Li Shiyang's home, smashing through the roof and falling precisely into the hands of the newborn Li Shiyang, without harming him in the slightest..."

One strange omen after another appeared, like something out of a mythological tale—words a fortune-teller might use to swindle money.

But this is a life planet in a spiritless universe!

But this is the record of the Central Array Spirit Computer, not some roadside pamphlet stall!

"... Fascinating."

Jiang Ding regarded these detailed reports with a calm expression, examining each one in turn.
