Chapter 2367

Not knowing how long had passed, all the light faded away.

At the center of the chaotic Great Dao, a dim lotus seed floated and sank, faintly with nine leaves curled together; every line on the lotus seed was the utmost brilliance and profound mystery of the Extinction Law Great Dao, and it constantly inhaled and exhaled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the light of sun, moon, and stars, growing—this growth process would be extremely long, taking tens of millions of years to mature.

"Finally,"

"No variables, it's done."

Jiang Ding slowly withdrew his hand seal, his face clearly pale, fallen into a state of serious injury and weakness.

Gong Caiyu's expression was slightly tense.

Her soul constantly monitored the Tai Shang Da Ri Tian Shu, secretly raising the Tian Shu defensive formation to the highest alert level.

If the situation turned unfavorable, the Fusang maidservant team could not completely eliminate the enemy with certainty; she would very likely communicate with the Dao Ting's many super-tier elite Dao soldiers, who possessed emperor-slaying combat power and were certainly not expendable fodder.

In the guard sequence of the forbidden palace, the Immortal Sect's Ten Great Fleets were undoubtedly the first sequence, politically absolutely reliable; next came the Tai Shang Da Ri Sword Dao soldiers, then Qingfeng Beidou, Jumén, Qīshā, and other Dao soldier sequences—this was equivalent to a group of ordinary combat strength ancient emperors besieging.

This is the current Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang guard force..

The Fusang Empress was likewise very tense.

"Hahaha, don't worry!"

"If the enemy comes, this is a great thing; a sword cultivator's life—what dissatisfaction could there be with a strong opponent?"

Jiang Ding smiled faintly.

He did not feel this was unfair to himself; though he was indeed seriously injured and weak, he bore the Human Emperor's mark, and if the ancient emperor of the forbidden zone were willing to come, it would be an opportunity for great advancement in the Sword Dao.

"Let everything remain as before."

"This expedition into the Dark Forbidden Zone shall be conducted with a mighty, overwhelming force, mobilizing armies of ten trillion, even a hundred trillion, to crush the enemy utterly—no playing at limits; this world's wars cannot all be fought by sword cultivators alone; the Immortal Sect fleets, Qingfeng Beidou Dao soldiers, and others must gain real combat experience."

Jiang Ding issued the order: in two hundred thousand years, he needed to see the results.

Otherwise, he would certainly hold accountable the relevant personnel.

Immediately, he closed his eyes, and while healing his wounds, continued to deduce and simplify the 《Extinction Law Sun Immortal Scripture》, pushing it toward the direction of the Cross Immortal Scripture, while also cooperating with many Dao Ting researchers in studying the blood slaughter resentment.

The blood slaughter resentment of heaven and earth's origin is a very high-grade energy source; if it could be mastered and utilized, giving birth to several Emperor Realm cultivators would be no problem.

At that time, the feared and detested blood slaughter resentment would become piles of immortal-grade heavenly treasures and earthly riches, scattered everywhere, costing nothing.

This would open up an entirely new road, as great an achievement as bacteria evolving to digest lignin; the first living beings to accomplish this would surely obtain unimaginable era dividends.

Under these circumstances, wanting not to become an Emperor would be difficult.

Of course, the difficulty lies precisely in this process.

Two hundred thousand years of time is far from enough for this road to form—perhaps tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of years; the entire Tai Shang Da Ri era might not suffice; the actual goal now is to find a method to seal the blood slaughter resentment; what comes after need not be forced, for not every immortal Dao research project ultimately succeeds—failure and massive waste are actually the norm.

Jiang Ding is already accustomed to this, always participating enthusiastically in every major immortal Dao research project.

Failure, in fact, is likewise a kind of wealth, a kind of knowledge; the profound foundation of today's Tai Shang Da Ri immortal Dao is built upon countless failure cases, precious beyond measure.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"In two hundred thousand years, what will appear before Your Majesty will certainly be a hundred-trillion-strong elite cultivator army."

The Fusang Empress rarely let out a breath of relief, smiling and nodding.

After so many years, finally a war matching her aesthetic has appeared—using the might of Taishan, pouring out all strength to crush the enemy, rather than some holy sword duel.

The entire Dao Ting has fallen into total mobilization and preparation for total war.

The intensity of military training everywhere has clearly increased by more than tenfold; star域 military regiments' cadre teams have rapidly filled their skeletons, expanded to full strength; mid-level officers in the star域 regiments—such as Void Refining, Dao Union, and Heaven-Man cultivators—have received沉眠 subsidies, allowing them to choose沉眠, awaiting the future outbreak of war.

Once great military achievements are made in the Wu Jin Kong Kong war, the originally unbreakable bottleneck, the nearly exhausted lifespan, will obtain a turning point; the war's dividends are imminent.

—

As for the soldiers below Void Refining and mid-to-low level officers, it doesn't matter—two hundred thousand years is enough for them to undergo many reincarnations; they merely need to maintain an excellent army elite inertia, so that at wartime's moment, they can instantly gather trillions, even hundreds of trillions, or more of elite troops.

It can be clearly said that these reserve forces and militia soldiers, placed in many immortal dynasties' eras, would be elite seedlings.

The main training work is between the Supreme and above realm cultivators.

These generals are immensely strong, and moreover are regiment commanders; their military quality directly determines the upper limit of the immortal dynasty's great army; thus training the Supreme generals is very important—many Emperor Realm cultivators, especially those of the Immortal Sect, serve as Chief of Staff, frequently drilling troops and conducting military exercises; Supreme generals who fail to meet standards will be severely reprimanded.

From time to time, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang himself will personally come to the battlefield, commanding military formation drills, discussing military formation principles together with many generals.

In such tight preparations, unnoticed, one hundred twenty thousand years have passed.

On this day, the starry sky saw several instances of heaven and earth trembling, omens rising—great sun falling, golden crow crying, light and time chaotic, human轮迴, etc., continuously appearing, causing the star sea to surge incessantly, triggering the Dao Ting detection system's strict control; the garrisoned immortal dynasty armies nearby raised their alert levels by several notches, displaying the military formation quality they should possess.

In the Tai Shang Da Ri Tian Shu, Jiang Ding opened his eyes, gazing toward those turbulent star seas.

"Not bad."

"Han Lin, Da Ai, and the five—Qīshā, Da Ri Guang Ming, Da Ri Yang Mang—have completed their immortal body breakthrough; now they have achieved minor success in immortal body, their strength has opened a significant gap compared to other Emperor Realm cultivators."

"Soft persimmon, go congratulate them for me."

Jiang Ding said casually.

Emperor Realm cultivators with minor success in immortal body are extremely rare in history; many eras have none at all—for example, the Wan Fa Immortal Dynasty, the Qilin Immortal Dynasty, the Ji Yan Immortal Dynasty; in these dynasties, even appearing with several Emperor Realm cultivators is already remarkable, utterly incapable of supporting these Emperor Realm cultivators to advance further.

Immortal dynasty resources and productivity are limited; as a model, the Emperor Immortal Dao universe constant experience formula precision is likewise limited.

Coincidentally, in the Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty, neither of these is a problem.

Da Ai and Han Lin each have their own affinities; Da Ri Guang Ming three are so because of their previous siege of the Wan Fa Gu Huang, gaining the divine sword duel breakthrough, and most importantly, the Dao Ting platform, which allows constant contact with the topmost research achievements of the Wu Jin Kong Kong, participating in development, etc.

Among the remaining Emperor Realm cultivators, the most likely to achieve breakthrough is Yuan.

However, it is not certain; the Emperor Realm path has absolutely nothing like the good thing of gradually absorbing spiritual energy step by step; under conditions where immortal realm resources are satisfied, it entirely relies on a single 'enlightenment' character—no one knows whether you can still break through in the future, or remain unchanged for life; the latter probability is very high.
