Chapter 2391: The Cross《Extinguishing Dharma Solar Immortal Scripture》
Jiang Ding carefully examined the Emperor Realm cultivators before him.
One by one, he looked at them: Han Lin, Da Ai, Da Ri Ming Guang, Da Ri Yang Mang, Qi Sha, Fen Hai, Gong Caiyu, Zhenjun He Huan, Qingfeng Beidou—
These Emperor Realm cultivators were all the most outstanding heroes of this era.
They had achieved great merits, their military exploits were brilliant, their bodies stained with blood from victorious battlefields, and many Emperor Realm cultivators, especially the Sword Emperor, bore an indescribable sense of melancholy on their faces.
This melancholy was so evident, tinged with a hint of sorrow.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoists, on your victorious return."
"This battle should be the last Imperial-level battle belonging to you in this era; henceforth, your primary task will be research and development, which is equally full of potential."
Jiang Ding let out a soft sigh and said.
Though this era had only just begun, he saw the scene of its decline.
Within tens of thousands of years, at most a hundred thousand years, the《Extinguishing Dharma Solar Immortal Scripture》will evolve to the level of the《Cross Immortal Scripture》, after which the development project for the Nine-Character Forbidden Zone-level scriptures will begin.
This process will be extremely lengthy.
Looking at history, it often takes tens of millions of years to accumulate resources for several experiments, meaning these Emperor Realm cultivators will not see the results of this superproject before them.
At the same time, after the two ancient emperors were defeated and the Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor's intervention failed, this era will become very tranquil.
There will be no more upheavals.
This era will completely belong to the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang; no living being in heaven or earth will dare to defy this contemporary ancient emperor.
"Yes, Sword Master!"
The Da Ri Yang Mang Sword Emperor and others bowed respectfully, their sorrow impossible to conceal.
"Haha!"
"Sword Master, henceforth peace will still offer great opportunities!"
The Zhenjun He Huan, Qingfeng Beidou, and Yuan Emperor Realm cultivators, however, were spirited, appearing to cheer and leap with joy.
Peace?
Peace is wonderful; we law cultivators love peace!
In the war-torn ages, the growth of sword cultivators and Sword Emperors was terrifying enough to make even the sect emperors wary, prompting them to urgently plan for the future post-Tai Shang Da Ri era.
But now, a long peace is about to arrive!
For the celestial dynasty's law cultivators and sects, this is a great blessing; such enduring peace will make the path brighter.
"Return."
"Post-battle affairs are numerous; everyone may rest awhile."
Jiang Ding smiled, led the crowd away, and returned to the Tai Shang Da Ri Tian Shu.
The Emperor Realm cultivators bade farewell one by one—some entered seclusion, some tended to their wounds, and various consolations, celebrations, rewards, and other celestial dynasty affairs kept them busy.
In the Tian Shu, however, all was quiet.
Jiang Ding and Gong Caiyu entered the palace one after the other.
"Your Majesty,"
"Your servant congratulates you on your victorious return once again."
The Fusang Empress in the Tian Shu rejoiced.
She had never liked the battlefield, always managing state affairs in the Tian Shu, maintaining the operation of this cosmic-level power of the Tai Shang Da Ri Celestial Dynasty, supplying the front lines with endless troops and logistical support, ensuring the efficient operation of the Immortal Dao factory agricultural worlds, and enabling the continuous advancement of the Immortal Dao superior research projects.
"Do not worry."
"Soft persimmon, I said I would always be victorious."
Jiang Ding smiled faintly.
The time of peaceful years is dull and uninteresting.
Unnoticed, a hundred thousand years passed.
Tai Shang Da Ri Tian Shu.
Jiang Ding walked through the lotus pond, with the Fusang Empress and Gong Caiyu accompanying him on either side, occasionally conversing.
He occasionally communicated with the Extinguishing Dharma Great Dao, inscribing rune after rune, refining the Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Elixir at the center—this is the key to his second life.
This small pond connects to numerous agricultural and industrial departments of the celestial dynasty; at every moment, vast quantities of pre-treated spiritual fluids and materials surge into this pond, absorbed by the Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Elixir, the lotus seeds of chaotic hue slightly swelling, yet showing no signs of sprouting.
It is estimated that a million years are needed before sprouting and growth may occur; this is an extremely special immortal elixir, unattainable by contemporary human emperors nurturing the boundless starry sky.
After obtaining the《Solar Immortal Scripture》and the《Season Flame Immortal Scripture》, and reverse-engineering the《Qilin Immortal Scripture》, Jiang Ding has had more thoughts on cultivating the Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Elixir, now attempting to improve its cultivation method to enhance efficacy and reduce resource consumption.
He has a vague idea: that the third life of the Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor should be closely related to the immortal elixir.
"Your Majesty, the consolation and rewards for the Qilin Season Flame War have been fully distributed."
"This is the ledger."
The Fusang Empress, with her plain white slender hands, offered a jade slip and spoke softly.
This is a custom: the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang pays special attention to consolation and rewards, which is closely tied to military combat and organizational efficiency.
Since the era of Tushan Xiancheng, he has personally handled these key matters, conducting spot checks himself.
This has not changed due to trust in the Empress.
"Hmm."
"You have worked hard."
Jiang Ding received the ledger, examined it carefully, occasionally performing calculations to confirm that numerous military rewards truly reached the hands of the meritorious, the relatives of the fallen.
At times, encountering complex situations, he would consult the Empress.
Gong Caiyu would sometimes interject, voicing her opinions.
Everything was filled with the breath of life, utterly unlike before; now the blue-clad youth bears a leisurely breath, like a loafer in the Immortal Sect merely passing time.
No longer as tense as before, indifferent and transcendent.
This is really unavoidable.
Nowadays, Wu Jin Kong Kong is too peaceful; the chance of encountering an ancient emperor-level opponent is less likely than finding billions of gold coins on the road. The Great Sun Sword Dao instinct is constantly accumulating, and to avoid its influence, Jiang Ding has no choice but to impose a certain degree of seal upon himself.
"The issue of pension distribution after a martyr's spouse remarries is extremely complicated—"
"In the future, it would be best to let cultivators make their choice before stepping onto the battlefield, fully respecting each cultivator's personal will."
Jiang Ding furrowed his brow.
At this moment, his words suddenly trailed off, and his body stiffened slightly.
In the next instant, his aura surged dramatically, his entire being exuding an unprecedentedly rich transcendent aura, as if a banished immortal had descended from the ninth heaven, ready at any moment to shed his mortal form and ascend.
At this moment, all emperor-level cultivators of the Dao Ting felt something in their hearts, gazing toward the Tian Shu direction, their eyes filled with excitement.
All emperor-level cultivators felt that the Dao had become clearer, and their techniques more precise!
《Extinction of Law Solar Immortal Scripture》, Cross, achieved today!
"Congratulations, Young Master!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Fu Sang Empress and Gong Caiyu exclaimed joyfully.
Taking this step, now only the Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor remains before Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang; taking this step will greatly increase the possibility of encountering the Golden Great Age in the future.
