Chapter 2372: The Solar Ancient Emperor's Parent and Child

The victory in war, for the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Ting, is not the most important.

The most important thing is to achieve a breakthrough in immortal-path science.

At this time, from the battlefield came suit after suit of armor, weapons, ancient banners, corpses, and dozens of cultivators forcibly captured by imperial authority, among them cultivators of the Ji Yan Immortal Dynasty, as well as cultivators of the Qilin Immortal Dynasty bearing many Qilin features, even to the point of being Qilin cultivators.

Jiang Ding opened his Eyes of Annihilating Dharma and Becoming Immortal to scan all the spoils, occasionally discussing something in a low voice with the many Sword Emperor and Quasi-Emperor teams.

Normally, he does not participate in the division of military merits or immortal-path research achievements; all the project's bonuses and merits belong entirely to the participating cultivators.

His income mainly comes from Immortal Dynasty taxes, as well as part of the battlefield spoils.

Whether he himself fights or the Immortal Dynasty army fights, he takes more than thirty percent of the spoils.

Only in immortal-path research, though he is hard at work, doing unpaid labor, yet he takes no fee—one can imagine how well-supported a breakthrough-making immortal-path scientist is in the Immortal Dynasty.

This Qilin Immortal Dynasty and Ji Yan Immortal Dynasty symposium lasted for decades.

Most of the time was spent discussing the newly analyzed technologies seized from the battlefield; only a very small portion of time was spent discussing tactics against the two great Immortal Dynasties.

This is not arrogance or self-importance.

Rather, strength and immortal-path techniques have always been the foundation of cultivators; this is the grand trend, while war and slaughter are merely techniques, occupying a secondary position.

The symposium concluded with a single sentence from Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.

"They fight theirs, we fight ours."

"The scheduled two-hundred-thousand-year mobilization time will not change; when the time comes, we will launch a great expedition into the Dark Forbidden Zone, leveling all disruptive elements that obstruct ascension."

Unknown starry void, dark and deep.

"That's right."

"No mistake."

The Qilin Gu Huang personally witnessed the last Immortal Dynasty soldier die in battle, gazing at the starry void for a long time, pondering for a long time: "This—

is a Forbidden Zone Gu Huang about to complete metamorphosis, the metamorphosis possibly taking thirty million years, or perhaps fifty million years, but there is a great likelihood that the breakthrough will be completed before his lifespan ends and he falls into eternal sleep."

Forbidden Zone Gu Huang, the Immortal Scripture Gu Huang beneath the Ten Immortal Codices.

When the Immortal Codices break from even numbers to odd numbers, it signifies a tremendous qualitative change; in non-Golden Ages, it often requires the accumulation of countless tens of millions of years across the endless starry void to achieve no more than three deduction attempts, and such vast heavenly treasures and resources are needed to make three deduction attempts!

If one cannot complete one's own Immortal Scripture breakthrough within three attempts, then there is no further opportunity.

A peerless Forbidden Zone Gu Huang in talent and brilliance, if luck is poor, may be trapped forever at this step of the Ten Immortal Scripture, and such things happen from time to time.

Of course, such things are not common.

Because those who reach this step of the Ten Immortal Scripture have talents and brilliance terrifying to a certain extreme; as soon as a sliver of opportunity appears, they can succeed—one attempt, and they have a considerable probability of success.

It is the era that limits these peerless talents, not their abilities being insufficient.

Discussing probability with these peerless talents is not objective.

"Gu Huang who awaken in the same era as the Forbidden Zone Gu Huang are tragic."

"If it were the Golden Age, with many strong ones, borrowing strength to fight strength, I would not fear; I have grown up in peril since childhood, served as a pet beast for others, served as a slave for sects, often encountering strong ones far surpassing my own strength."

"————Alas,"

The Qilin Gu Huang said lightly: "Su Xing in this era, coming into close contact with Tai Shang Da Ri, we are forced to fight like in a beast-fighting arena, with little room for maneuver."

"Indeed, fortune is not favorable."

"Haha! Not yet!"

"He is not yet a Forbidden Zone Gu Huang, and even forty or fifty million years later, he may not necessarily complete the breakthrough."

Ji Yan Gu Huang laughed heartily.

"Hmm, you're right."

"After all, he is not a Forbidden Zone Gu Huang."

The Qilin Gu Huang slightly nodded, gazing into the deep, dark starry void: "Then, we old friends, having watched this grand spectacle, what decision have we made?"

The two great Immortal Dynasty armies launched a distant expedition into the Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty's territory, for the purpose of probing, and even more so, performance.

Performing before the emperors of history, displaying the contemporary human emperor's strength, potential, and their gap in full measure, threat likewise.

Is not the existence of one who bears the aspect of a Forbidden Zone Gu Huang yet has not truly achieved it, the best moment to strangle him?

If we do not strangle him now, must we wait until the future, when another Forbidden Zone Gu Huang survives into the Golden Age and contends with us in Dao?

All these schemes are the painstaking plans of the two ancient emperors.

"The emperors have increased their support of strength."

"The armies we command have increased manifold compared to before, and the support of the Slaughter Emperor's strength is likewise; what a joyous occasion, fellow Daoist, have another cup."

Ji Yan Gu Huang chuckled.

"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed optimistic."

"How would the Solar Ancient Emperor senior put it?"

The Qilin Gu Huang smiled faintly.

The human Solar Ancient Emperor, a Forbidden Zone Gu Huang, and moreover an extreme human-supremacist human emperor, in his time, slaughtered all myriad races, human starry void supreme.

This ancient emperor harbors malice toward all myriad races' beings, yet toward humanity and his offspring, he has deep affection like a cow licking its calf.

"My father will not act against the human race ancient emperor."

"Regarding the strengthening of the human race ancient emperor, he is pleased to see and willing to support; the slaughter among human race emperors should not occur in such an era.

Ji Yan Gu Huang said slowly.

"Then————"

The Qilin Gu Huang could not hide his disappointment.

"Haha, fellow Daoist, I have not finished speaking yet."

"My father also said,"

Ji Yan Gu Huang said with a wink and a grin: "He said, he does not wish to see his fourth son die, so that he would feel sorrow in his heart, therefore he will awaken for a moment, carrying a great amount of Solar Immortal Dynasty inheritance, and strike once against the Tai Shang Da Ri fellow Daoist."

"If Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Friend loses, the four sons live, he will be very happy."

"If Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Friend lives, I die, he will feel sorrowful, continue to slumber, continue to wait for the Golden Great Age, many inheritances of the Solar Immortal Dynasty will be, as a gift, given to this fellow clansman junior."

"At the time of the Golden Great Age, there will be another life-and-death struggle, to see whether on the path to immortality, it is necessary to pave the way with Dao Friend's blood."

The Solar Ancient Emperor is renowned for benevolence and magnanimity, an elder who has always liked to nurture juniors.

As for the death of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, there is no such option.

The current Ancient Emperors are thus heaven-defying.

Since ancient times, sovereigns have never died in one lifetime; this is a sentient being cherished by the Heavenly Dao of Wu Jin Kong Kong, a part of the Heavenly Dao, and it is feared that only a being of immortal level or one about to become immortal can strike, making it difficult to exterminate a lifetime of sovereigns.

"Such?"

"Solar Senior, noble righteousness."

Kirin Gu Huang took a deep breath, raised his cup, and drained it in one gulp.

"At the Nine Leaves Sword Emperor's place, I also did my best to bring it about; currently there, I only received the reply 'having come to know,' vague and ambiguous. Next, we can only rely on the two of us to struggle free and forge a path to immortality — "

"Haha, naturally!"

"Since ancient times, becoming immortal has involved many hardships; now, what of this point? — "

Ji Yan Gu Huang raised his cup, drank wildly and sang loudly, his voice shaking the starry void.
