Chapter 2167: The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Inspects the Star Domains
Zhu Que Corona Industrial Park.
This is a place where solar rays gather and condense, spanning countless light-years; the starry skies of dozens of star domains are shrouded in exceptionally bright and brilliant sunlight, and the authority of the Great Dao that extinguishes laws flickers in and out, emitting a heavy and terrifying pressure.
Among numerous formations, furnaces, and industrial instruments, Supreme Ones, Heavenly Men, and Near-Emperors move through, busy and bustling, using industrial chains so complex that even Supreme Ones find them headache-inducing to synthesize a pinnacle creation of the Immortal Dao.
On this day, the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal and many Near-Emperors descended here to inspect the place.
Long Qi, the Near-Emperor and highest official of the Zhu Que Corona Industrial Park, respectfully accompanied them.
This Near-Emperor is the sole surviving Near-Emperor of the True Dragon Immortal Clan today.
Theoretically, he should have been transferred to the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou star domains to oversee the work of the True Dragon Immortal Dao Technology Research Institute.
However, since the two vast territories are not yet connected, this is the only option for now.
"Your Majesty,"
"Your subject is humbled; the Zhu Que Corona Industrial Park can currently only synthesize Quasi-Ninth-Rank Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold."
The Near-Emperor Long Qi said with some trembling.
This Near-Emperor did not maintain his dragon-form true body, but appeared as an old human man weathered by wind and frost, with dragon horns growing from his head.
The title "Your Majesty" stems from regulations in the "Dao Court Law for Managing Ten Thousand Races"; unlike the relaxed and lively atmosphere within the human clan, it emphasizes hierarchy and order more, formulated by many politicians of the Dao Court and Immortal Gates, with many considerations.
Many human Immortal Dao great powers believe the ten thousand races can never truly submit their hearts, so a high-pressure posture must be maintained at all times.
"Only capable of synthesizing Quasi-Ninth-Rank Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold?"
Jiang Ding pondered.
Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold has iterated through many versions to date; it is the top-tier spirit gold of the Supreme Great Sun path. Besides being used by the Sword Immortal to refine flying swords, it can be applied in many aspects: forging warships, refining magical treasures, crafting top-tier industrial mother machines, and so on, playing a crucial role in the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dao industrial system.
The Zhu Que star domains are in a state of rebuilding with everything needing attention and a lack of talent; the entire Zhu Que Corona Industrial Park was successfully manufactured in the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou star domains and then relocated here as a whole.
Theoretically, this industrial park should possess the capability to produce Ninth-Rank Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold.
"What is the reason?"
Jiang Ding did not get angry but asked.
"Your Majesty,"
"Truly, talent is lacking, especially cultivators walking the Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao; there is a shortage of many Supreme Ones, Heavenly Men, and Near-Emperors, so the industrial park cannot operate at full capacity..."
The Near-Emperor Long Qi said, forcing himself to speak.
There are still quite a few Supreme Ones among the ten thousand races; gathering them could meet the industrial park's personnel needs, even exceeding them, but it won't work; the quality of these ten-thousand-race Supreme Ones is far inferior to those in the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou star domains, both in terms of cooperation and the Dao path; the planning of the industrial department failed.
"Insufficient talent?"
Jiang Ding pulled up the Near-Emperor Long Qi's report, swept it with his divine sense, calculated for a moment, found this indeed to be the case with no dereliction of duty, and his voice softened: "Daoist Friend Long Qi, this is not your fault; do not worry."
"You may try your best; success will bring a reward, and failure is also acceptable."
"The True Dragon is also an Immortal Clan with great merits to the endless starry sky; as long as you abide by the Master Tushan Laws, why worry about not flourishing for ten thousand years within the Dao Court?"
The importance of the law, the Master Tushan Laws, must be emphasized time and again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Near-Emperor Long Qi was moved to tears and choked out.
"This is unnecessary."
"Let it be known only between us."
Jiang Ding waved his hand and said, "I have heard that Daoist Friend Long Qi has a daughter named Caiwei, who has just passed the thousand-year young dragon period; is she willing to become a Master Tushan handmaiden to guard my palace?"
"Your Majesty!"
"This is the supreme honor for my daughter Caiwei!"
The Near-Emperor Long Qi's voice instantly rang out loudly, his words rising with Gao Ang, and excitement showed in his gaze.
Forbidden Palace Handmaiden!
This is one of the highest-level promotion paths in the Dao Court, always producing strong figures; more rare is that this is the position most likely to come into contact with the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal, symbolizing that the True Dragon Immortal Clan is truly accepted by the Dao Court, and many changes will follow in the future.
"Exchange sincerity for sincerity."
"May the friendship between the True Dragon Immortal Clan and me last for ten thousand years."
Jiang Ding said with a smile.
After much comforting, the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal departed amidst the farewells of many True Dragon Immortal Clan strong ones and continued to inspect various places.
A young dragon named Caiwei stepped on clouds and came here timidly, was accepted by the Fushang Empress and Gong Gong Caiyu, and became a member of the Master Tushan handmaidens.
"Your Majesty,"
"The next place is the Phoenix Immortal Dao Science Academy."
The Fushang Empress flipped through the schedule and said.
This inspection by the Sword Immortal was not merely to examine the starry realms but carried strong political implications: to comfort the Immortal Clans in various places, absorb new handmaidens, have them formally join the Dao Court system, contribute their Immortal Dao knowledge and wisdom, and calm their hearts.
Immortal Dao research differs from brute labor or warfare; it emphasizes inspiration and subjective initiative very much.
In such matters, slacking off is truly too easy.
Under these circumstances, after perfecting a rigorous assessment system, making a political gesture of comfort is necessary; it costs little time but yields great returns, offering very high cost-effectiveness.
"The Phoenix Immortal Dao Science Research Institute; this institution holds high value."
"It plays an important role in the research of the Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao."
Jiang Ding flipped through the institute's data, showed interest, and walked with a group of ten-thousand-race handmaidens along the starlight toward the distant star domain.
Heaven and earth changed; the Great Dao flowed.
In the Phoenix Flame Star Domain, a group of Phoenix Immortal Clan strong ones waited respectfully.
With the change of space, a youth in green robes, two human Near-Emperors, and a large crowd of ten-thousand-race handmaidens appeared before their eyes.
"We pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"We pay homage to the Empress!"
A large circle of voices, soft and delicate, chimed in.
The Phoenix Immortal Clan, especially the phoenixes who had taken human form, were incredibly beautiful; at this moment, gazing upon them, their postures were varied and their styles distinct, creating a dizzying sensation in an instant.
"Please, everyone, rise."
"Daoist Huang Yun, please rise."
Jiang Ding nodded slightly.
He and Huang Yun, the Quasi-Emperor of the Phoenix Immortal Clan who was one of the few survivors, walked together into the Phoenix Immortal Dao Technology Research Institute, listening as the Quasi-Emperor Huang Yun, with a graceful voice, recounted the various achievements and future prospects the institute had attained over the past ten thousand years.
Suddenly, Jiang Ding's steps halted, and he looked toward the distance.
In the distance, the laws of heaven and earth fluctuated violently, especially the laws of time and reincarnation, surging like towering waves before finally subsiding after a long while.
Once everything had calmed.
Two Quasi-Emperors of the human race, whose auras were extremely powerful, rushed over via a star domain teleportation formation and said in deep voices:
"We pay our respects to Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun!"
"We pay our respects to Junior Shishu!"
"We have not failed your expectations; we have already advanced to the Quasi-Emperor realm."
These two human Quasi-Emperors had much excitement and flushing on their faces, yet they held it back, maintaining their propriety.
New human Quasi-Emperors?
Many of the powerful ones of the Phoenix Immortal Clan felt a jolt in their hearts.
Abruptly, these two new human Quasi-Emperors were born, without any of the hardships that the True Phoenix Chi Yan Huang Tian had endured in the past, giving people a sense of unreality.
"Congratulations."
"Daoist friends, let us converse together."
Jiang Ding smiled his congratulations and walked with the group into the Phoenix Immortal Dao Technology Research Institute.
