Chapter 2359: The Birth and Suppression of the Daoist Financial Fortune System

"Your Majesty, many high-ranking cultivators with great military achievements have gone bankrupt."

"Should we provide relief?"

The Empress of Fusang asked.

"This includes the unfortunate Seven Slaughter Sword Emperor, whose assets have shrunk by more than ninety percent; if not for the substantial military merit rewards obtained in the Wanfa War, he wouldn't even be able to afford cultivation."

In the current Dao Ting, Daoist capitalism is flourishing, with many high-ranking cultivators investing in stocks, factories,

patents, and similar activities; amid today's turmoil, a batch of people are bound to become destitute.

Sword Emperor, bankrupt and reduced to a pauper!

Such a situation was unthinkable in many xianchao eras, for the Sword Emperor's sword is truly sharp, and he naturally possesses many things of the human realm, regardless of who previously owned these treasures.

"Never mind."

"If he refuses to comply, let him rebel."

Jiang Ding paid no heed.

"By the way, regulate Daoist finance."

"I've heard that some cultivators lacking strength and mediocre talent have amassed great wealth through stock trading, market manipulation, and the like, achieving a wealth reversal against high-ranking cultivators—inverting the heavenly order."

"This needs to be suppressed."

Jiang Ding pondered for a moment and said: "I understand that the emergence of such a group alongside Daoist economic development is inevitable, an unavoidable natural law, but it must be limited within a certain scope."

"The Dao Ting is first and foremost Daoist civilization—this is the foundation!"

"Without great strength or outstanding talent and aptitude, in institutional design, these people should not hold vast wealth."

"Occasional omissions may occur—this is their skill and luck—but the emergence of a large-scale group of such people, even forming a class, should not happen."

"Regardless, survival and development are necessary."

The so-called 'some cultivators' are newly risen Daoist cultivators of the Financial Fortune Path, named Jinrong Qiyun Dao, formed by the fusion of finance, Daoist fortune, and karma.

These cultivators display terrifying abilities in stock trading, market manipulation, and futures speculation; many have thus amassed great wealth, triggering intense social upheaval and becoming the most popular major in various immortal academies overnight.

They even qualify to be mentioned in the mouth of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, becoming 'some cultivators'.

These cultivators have committed no crime, Jiang Ding knows.

Yet suppression is still required—and it must be legislative suppression, open and aboveboard, not the clandestine tactics of demons and monsters, for this cultivator group is a typical internal-war phantom god, useless in external warfare.

"Understood, Your Majesty."

"This adjustment will have a major impact; I need at least ten thousand years to repeatedly adjust policies, conduct pilot programs, and moreover require the aid of Your Majesty's soul computational power to simulate the future."

The Empress of Fusang spoke solemnly.

This matter appears ordinary but is actually a major adjustment to the system governing the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Ting over 1.6 million years, very likely affecting hundreds of millions or even tens of millions of years of the boundless starry void.

A slight error could cause irreparable loss.

Fortunately, the Human Emperor is present; reform will surely proceed without hindrance, without interest-group opposition, and the difficulty is greatly reduced.

The promulgation of the new Daoist scriptures caused a tremendous upheaval across the boundless starry void.

All industries saw much chaos: factories halted, cultivators suffered qi deviation, jumped from buildings, the great rise of Financial Fortune Path cultivators followed by their fall from divine pedestals—except for a few Financial Fortune heroes recruited by the Dao Ting to regulate the market, most students of the Financial Fortune Path fell into employment difficulties.

Currently, an extremely small number of peerless talents of the Financial Fortune Path are attempting to walk the Fortune Earth Immortal Dao, completely fusing finance and fortune to create a Dao possessing both combat power and creativity.

Whatever the Ancient Emperor desires, the Financial Fortune Path cultivators will do!

Cultivators walking the Financial Fortune Path all understand the grand trend and will not oppose the mighty trend of the current Human Emperor.

This entirely new path has drawn the attention of many powerful cultivators and even immortal sects.

In the past, the Fortune True Dragon Son was strong enough to contend with the Tai Shang Da Ri Sword Fairy; the combat power of the Fortune Path is not weak, aided by the Dao Ting's extremely prosperous economic production—could the Financial Fortune Path possibly lack even a hint of giving birth to an Emperor Realm cultivator?

Will this path be the windfall for future Emperor Realm cultivators?

Many cultivators secretly watching this path felt their hearts stir, as if seeing a vast, surging river of Daoist economic fortune, seeing the throne in the Jin Guang long river.

Tianji Qingmu Qingmu Xianzong, Suantian Qingmu Qingmu Xianzong, Qianfa Huangchao, Zhenlong Xianzu, Xianmen Jinrong Bu Men, and numerous other sects with deep accumulations on the Tianji,

Fortune Path stirred up heaven-shaking waves in their hearts.

Time flowed slowly.

The Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Ting continued forward through the ages; although there were no external wars nor bloody internal conflicts, the intensity of internal competition never diminished.

Unnoticed, ten thousand years passed.

On this day, the Great Sun Bright Light Sword Emperor, Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Emperor, Seven Slaughter Sword Emperor, and Burning Sea Sword Emperor—six great Sword Emperors—entered the Tian Shu, bowed before the Sword Emperor, and offered tribute.

"Completed?"

"Your《Holy Sword Duel Obstruction New Law Sacrifice》."

Jiang Ding swept with his divine sense, revealing a smile: "Congratulations, fellow Daoists, for tearing open a path of survival amidst the encirclement of all imperial Daoist arts, gaining great merit for heaven and earth and all beings."

Om!

At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to sense something, faintly manifesting an instant, but was shielded by the Human Emperor.

From this moment onward, when these Sword Emperors offered their jade slips, Jiang Ding finally saw in heaven and earth countless invisible-black-as-silk threads, as fine as imperceptible, connecting various places, occasionally drawing the marrow, soul, and spirit of heaven and earth, flying toward a place distant from the center of the boundless starry void.

That place, where heavenly rules are weak, is precisely where the Human Emperor's control is feeble.

The emperors of history, in that direction."

"Perhaps their true forms are not there, but certainly much of their power lies in that direction; although specific coordinates cannot now be calculated, it is definitely in that direction!!!"

A thread of violent killing intent arose in Jiang Ding's heart.

"Do not dare!"

"All thanks to the Sword Master's labor!"

The six Great Sun Bright Light Sword Emperors spoke in unison, deeply humble.

"In fact, without the Human Emperor constantly providing soul computational power and constant attention, the Sword Emperors could not have solved even a small part of the imperial Daoist arts' breakthrough, even if it were merely a minor opening."

"No need for humility."

"I wish all fellow Daoists prosperous immortal fortune."

Jiang Ding laughed heartily, distributing all kinds of immortal materials, merits, and what could be called vast quantities of heavenly and earthly treasures, without the slightest stinginess.

These rewards were not only for the six Sword Emperors, but also for the countless sword cultivators in the Dao Court who participated in this project; many meritorious sword cultivators had already died tens of thousands of years ago, but as long as their descendants or direct disciples remained, this merit would truly be delivered into their hands.

"Since the immortal technique has already completed its breakthrough, then."

"Let the Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivators get busy as soon as possible."

Jiang Ding's eyes flashed with killing intent: "New Law cultivators, all may be killed; those who assist New Law cultivators in plundering heaven and earth, likewise may be killed, unforgivable!"

When a sword cultivator slays a New Law cultivator in the Holy Sword Duel, they can sever the plundering of history's myriad emperors!

"Yes! Sword Lord!"

The six Sword Emperors' expressions were invigorated.

Holy Sword Duel!

The blood of New Law cultivators, of the same rank as the Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivators!

With such fertile soil, from now on, the Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivators in the Wu Jin Kong Kong will once again enter a peak of birth, and in the future will form a super sword cultivator legion far surpassing the three hundred billion sword cultivators of old.
