Chapter 2168: Time and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal Dao Science Academy

The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal and the Fusang Empress arrived at the Phoenix Immortal Dao Science and Technology Research Institute, surrounded by numerous Quasi-Emperors.

Accompanied and guided by Quasi-Emperor Huangyun and other cultivators, they toured the Phoenix Immortal Dao Science and Technology Research Institute, visiting various instruments, departments, and reviewing the institute's past achievements and accomplishments.

It is worth mentioning that cultivators of myriad races here are numerous.

Phoenix, Qingluan, Golden Crow and other races are all present; many races are of enormous size, many are fierce and brimming with baleful aura.

But here, all beings take human form, understanding propriety and etiquette, their bearing refined and cultured, courteous and polite, knowing etiquette better than the vast majority of the human race itself.

After a tour.

The Sword Immortal bestowed high praise upon the many cultivators of the Phoenix Immortal Dao Science and Technology Research Institute and Quasi-Emperor Huangyun, commending them for their significant contributions to the development of Immortal Dao science and technology in the Endless Starry Sky, then distributed New Year gifts for this millennium to the institute's cultivators, and took group photos with them as a memento.

Many Immortal Dao great beings also celebrate the New Year, though not every year—generally every millennium or myriad years.

After the inspection, several Quasi-Emperors and the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal held a symposium deep within the institute.

"Han Lin, if you have the time, could you set up a Six Paths of Reincarnation Research Institute?"

Jiang Ding inquired.

This old friend's roots can now be faintly discerned—they lie in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Dao, with quite a few secrets, but he did not intend to investigate deeply, only thinking to make the best use of what was available.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation is extremely important to the current Dao Court, relating to the Court's heavy treasure, the Great Dream Sword Realm.

The Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao can also be influenced by it.

Without waiting for a reply, Jiang Ding added: "This matter depends entirely on your personal thoughts; this is an inquiry, not an order."

"We have known and understood each other for all these years—surely we have at least this much trust?"

"Yes!"

"Little Martial Uncle!"

Han Lin answered without hesitation.

He thought for a long while, organizing his words in his heart, and said: "The Six Paths of Reincarnation is my fundamental Great Dao. If I could use the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal Dao Science Academy to advance further on this path, nothing could be better."

The implication being that if he could not achieve progress on the Great Dao within the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal Dao Science Academy, then he would have no choice but to complete his term and resign.

The two had been friends for many years and had always been this way—the friendship of gentlemen is plain as water.

Clearly and plainly discussing benefits and exchanges, with neither side feeling indebted to the other.

"Hahaha!"

"Just as it should be!"

Jiang Ding laughed heartily, a great deal of joy welling up in his heart.

For many years, he had always been facing subordinates, looking down upon the world; now, unexpectedly, there came a feeling of communicating with an equal, which gave him great pleasure.

"Then it's settled."

"The Zhu Que Star Domains will set up a framework for you as soon as possible. Talent related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation here is rather thin, so we'll make do for now."

Jiang Ding said: "However, in the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Star Domains, talent is not lacking—there are seven Quasi-Emperors who have made many accomplishments on the Six Paths of Reincarnation Dao who can join this Six Paths of Reincarnation Research Institute. You can communicate through the Great Dream Sword Realm to jointly study, learn, and progress."

The connection between the Great Dream Sword Realms of the two locations is, in fact, achieved through the Broken Sword Tip for data transmission.

Seven Quasi-Emperors who have made accomplishments on the Six Paths of Reincarnation Dao will join?

The hearts of the many cultivators trembled.

Han Lin and Quasi-Emperor Da Ai felt the same in their hearts, unable to remain calm.

Just on this single Dao of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Dao Court could casually pull out more Quasi-Emperors than most of the True Phoenix Immortal Dynasty had. Just how many Quasi-Emperors and Supreme beings did the Dao Court have in total?

That number must surely be terrifying.

"There is one more thing I must tell you, Han Lin."

Jiang Ding said with some apology: "These seven Dao friends who have made many accomplishments on the Six Paths of Reincarnation may have rather poor tempers. You know, anyone who has achieved something on a Dao tends to have some pride. I respect all Dao friends and will not force or suppress anyone…"

"Little Martial Uncle, rest assured—"

"If my talent cannot surpass these seven Dao friends, then I shall temporarily hold the position of Deputy Institute Head!"

Han Lin interrupted, a look of excitement appearing on his face.

He was already well advanced in years—how could he be displeased over the rank of an official post?

If he could truly exchange with fellow cultivators on the same path and gain something, even serving as a mere foot soldier would be a great blessing in this life.

"Hahaha!"

"I knew you well."

Jiang Ding smiled faintly, then looked toward Quasi-Emperor Da Ai: "Dao friend Da Ai, would you be willing to set up a Time Immortal Dao Science and Technology Research Institute?"

"To speak frankly, the Dao Court's research in the related Immortal Dao science and technology is extremely lacking; there isn't even a single Quasi-Emperor on the related Dao. There are some Supreme beings on the Dao of Time, though…"

"However, I can join in."

"Additionally, the Dao Court can provide a large quantity of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to support it."

The Great Dao of Time—this path has always been rather arduous since ancient times, with very few inherited texts and an extremely high research difficulty.

Among the Immortal sects, there are very many cultivators interested in this path.

"Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, I am more than willing!"

Quasi-Emperor Da Ai agreed at once.

For him, having a large batch of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to use would be a waste not to use them; moreover, having a True Immortal to assist in research was an even rarer opportunity.

Furthermore, based on his understanding of the Great Sun Sword Child, within this Time Immortal Dao Science and Technology Research Institute, one should be able to access nearly all of the Dao Court's Time-related inheritances, including that one move of the Time Sword Art inheritance.

Especially the latter—this was something he could hardly refuse.

"Good!"

"I take the strengths of the Three Thousand Great Daos, gathering and respecting the outstanding talents of the world, respecting the objective natural laws of the Immortal Dao, jointly promoting the development of Immortal Dao in the Endless Starry Sky, and raising the level of Immortal Dao science and technology."

"If so, even though the era we were born into is not a Golden Age, would we necessarily be weaker than others?"

Jiang Ding laughed heartily, uttering words that left many Quasi-Emperors baffled.

More abundant material foundations make it easier for stronger Emperors to emerge; this is a universal law of the endless starry sky, yet it does not apply in every circumstance.

If one possesses greater strength, even surpassing the Immortal Dao scientific level of the Golden Great Era, could one exceed the Emperors of the Golden Great Era in this age?

This possibility exists.

Jiang Ding saw the confusion in the eyes of the many Quasi-Emperors.

But he would not explain, for many things would be hard for anyone but a True Immortal to know, and doing so would only invite disaster.

"Daoist Friend Huang Yunxi,"

"Are you willing to stand by this Lord's side and guard the Forbidden Palace for this Lord?"

Jiang Ding looked at a mischievous young girl beside Quasi-Emperor Huang Yun and asked in a gentle voice.

She was the most outstanding cultivator of the current Phoenix Immortal Clan, the Phoenix with the strongest bloodline; her appearance was sweet and cute, and her pair of watery, large eyes seemed to harbor the sun, moon, and stars, making her the most peerless beauty in the endless starry sky.

Such a woman,

if encountered during the youth of the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal, would likely have captivated her at first glance for a lifetime.

But now?

She can only be regarded as secondary; Heaven and Earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"This humble one is willing to accompany Your Majesty for all eternity, remaining unchanged even until death."

In Huang Yunxi's phoenix eyes shone an indescribable brilliance.

The young girl's fervent sincerity was pure and beautiful, overflowing from within.
