Chapter 2153: The Supreme Great Sun Undying Immortal Medicine That Lived Out a Second Life

Throughout history, has there always been a group of people who must conceal something?

Many Quasi-Emperors fell into fearful speculation.

Jiang Ding's gaze, however, turned toward the Thousand Laws Supreme.

Setting aside the Ten Thousand Laws True Immortal Lady, who was sealed away and only emerged in the present era, this Supreme could be said to be a direct-line descendant of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Dynasty's lineage to this day, in possession of many of the dynasty's classified intelligence.

On the current project, the Thousand Laws Supreme was conscripted and participated deeply in the matter, thus discovered certain things and earned great merit.

"Sword Master,"

"According to the 'Ancestral Instructions of the Law Emperor' passed down through the generations of the Ten Thousand Laws Imperial Family, the Ten Thousand Laws Ancient Emperor waged a campaign in the middle and later stages of his life, seeking to annihilate some terrifying existence."

The Thousand Laws Supreme said deferentially: "This war lasted for over a million years, and in the end concluded with the Ancient Emperor being gravely wounded."

"This grave wound greatly affected the Ten Thousand Laws Ancient Emperor's lifespan; he lived only a little over thirty million years before passing away, and unlike other Human Emperors throughout history, he did not successfully live out a second life."

"The deepest root cause was precisely the grave wound inflicted by this unknown war."

A terrifying existence that gravely wounded the Ten Thousand Laws Ancient Emperor, one he could not defeat, one that caused his efforts to fail utterly, leaving him unable to live out a second life!

The hearts of many Quasi-Emperors trembled, overcome with shock.

A Human Emperor was already the strongest being of the present age, a lifeform invincible as it swept across endless starry skies — who could gravely wound such an existence?

"Living out a second life…"

Jiang Ding's thoughts drifted somewhat.

According to the scattered inheritances he possessed, after a Human Emperor achieved the Human Emperor realm, he would begin using countless heaven-and-earth treasures from the endless starry skies to cultivate a single Undying Immortal Medicine, and after cultivating it continuously for thirty million years, the Undying Immortal Medicine would mature.

At that time, the Human Emperor would have just entered his twilight years; if he consumed this Undying Immortal Medicine, he could undergo nirvana and return, living out a second life once more.

A second life seemed to be the limit; never had any lifeform been able to live out a third life.

Jiang Ding did not possess any inheritance related to the Undying Immortal Medicine, nor did he know how to cultivate it, but he did not mind — once he became Emperor, deducing the Undying Immortal Medicine's cultivation method would be effortless; the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Lady was never inferior to anyone in her life, and even facing the successive generations of Emperors throughout history, he felt no fear in his heart.

"Are you saying—"

"That because of a great defeat in his prime years, the Ten Thousand Laws Ancient Emperor was gravely wounded and had no choice but to consume the Ten Thousand Laws Undying Immortal Medicine, causing him to fail to live out a second life thereafter, his lifespan being merely half that of other Emperors?"

Jiang Ding asked calmly.

"The Sword Master sees clearly!"

The Thousand Laws Supreme said respectfully.

"If that is the case, then these sealed and obscured histories, these great calamities appearing generation after generation, these life essences accumulating generation after generation in terrifyingly vast quantities — where they flow to, it seems, now has an answer…"

Jiang Ding Zi murmured to himself.

Boom—!

In the starry sky, terrifying thunder suddenly appeared.

Endless dark clouds rolled in, emanating an aura of destruction and world-annihilation, as if facing a host of True Immortal Ladies — madness, destruction, killing intent — and from the abyss seemed to emerge pair after pair of blood-red eyes, staring fixedly at this place, their chaotic, frenzied wills flooding the starry sky.

"Heh."

Jiang Ding sneered, as if disdaining something.

However, he did not continue to provoke, did not say anything further.

Those dark clouds and the blood-red eyes in the dark abyss stared intently at this place for a long while, then slowly vanished — likewise wary of many things, bound by numerous harsh restrictions.

In the end, Jiang Ding did not say it aloud.

The dark clouds between heaven and earth gradually dispersed, vanishing as abruptly as they had come.

Yuan, Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Supreme, Seven Kill Sword Venerable, and other Quasi-Emperors and Supremes showed bewildered looks in their eyes, as if they had seen nothing at all just now, as if a stretch of time had abruptly vanished from their divine souls.

"Just now… what happened?"

Yuan's voice was somewhat hoarse.

He did not know what had happened, only knew that he seemed to have brushed past some terrifying existence, and that this feeling of terror was swiftly fading with time, swiftly being forgotten — at this moment on the verge of forgetting, he hastily asked.

Many Quasi-Emperors likewise looked toward the Sword Immortal Lady with longing; their faint, subtle emotions were likewise swiftly dissipating.

"It's nothing,"

"Just some secrets, that's all."

Jiang Ding sighed softly: "If any of you, sirs, should advance to Nine Tribulation Supreme, then come and ask me again."

"The Heavenly Wolf Starfield project ends here; from now on, there is no need to continue investing massive amounts of talent and resources into this place. Redirect that talent and resources into the exploration of the Immortal Dao Universal Constant."

The knowing of certain secrets requires strength as its foundation; otherwise, one will only invite upon oneself calamities one cannot resist.

And in the current Supreme Great Sun Dao Court, no such lifeform had yet appeared.

"…Yes!"

Yuan, Seven Kill Sword Venerable, Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Supreme, and others felt a surge of helplessness rise in their hearts, and bowed deeply.

In just an instant, all that had just happened was already completely forgotten by Yuan and the others; not the slightest trace of memory or feeling remained within their divine soul consciousness seas.

"Jiang Ding,"

"Is there anything we might be permitted to know?"

Yuan's voice was somewhat low.

"There is."

"Regarding becoming an Immortal, I have a conjecture."

Jiang Ding deliberated for a long while, then said calmly: "An Immortal is an existence that transcends all; the advancement of such an existence must necessarily be founded upon an unimaginable quantity of matter. Material foundation is the foundation upon which everything exists — one cannot say that having the material foundation means having everything; many things are still lacking."

"However, without even the most basic material foundation, becoming an Immortal is absolutely impossible."

"I suspect that an entire era of the endless starry skies — an entire hundred million years — may not be enough to produce the most basic matter required for becoming an Immortal; perhaps the accumulation of many, many years is needed before even this most basic threshold can be reached."

"This is everything that can be told to all of you."

Jiang Ding's figure gradually vanished from sight.

At that spot, many Quasi-Emperors fell into deep contemplation, not stirring at all for a long, long time.

……

Time flowed on, gradually like running water.

The Supreme Solar Dao Court methodically carried out its research, production, and territorial expansion, digesting the True Dragon Qi-Destiny Immortal Dynasty's technology, accepting ten-thousand-race powerhouses as its own immortal-Dao supplement, and the star domains flourished in thriving development.

The Dao Court's territory expanded slowly, with several new star domains being incorporated into its borders every ten thousand years.

The Supreme Solar Sword Immortal Lady remained stationed in the Supreme Solar Heavenly Palace, daily contemplating the constants of the immortal-Dao universe, revising the "Method-Destroying Solar Immortal Scripture," presiding over various immortal-Dao research projects, tirelessly exploring new directions of the immortal Dao, never stopping.

Before anyone realized it, a hundred thousand years had passed.

On this day, the "Method-Destroying Solar Immortal Scripture" had been refined down to fifteen hundred profound-script characters, drawing ever closer to the true constants of the immortal-Dao universe; the Taiqing Flying Sword had completely devoured the Hongmeng Origin Mother Qi Jade Seal, growing stronger once more.

The Supreme Solar Sword Immortal Lady's strength therefore advanced by leaps and bounds, far surpassing that of the year she had faced the Qi-Destiny True Dragon Son.

"Wuu wuu……"

"Wuu wuu wuu……"

At this moment, over the endless starry sky, blood-rain suddenly descended from the heavens; the Heavenly Dao mourned without end, and omen after omen of Water-Aspect Grand Dao collapse appeared in succession — heaven crumbled, earth split, the starry heavens churned in unrest.

Jiang Ding quietly opened his eyes, revealing pupils of stark black and white.

"A True Immortal Lady has fallen."

"Seems to be an opponent of the Ten-Thousand-Law True Immortal Lady?"
