Chapter 2433: Exploration of the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang in the Depths of the Wu Ling Universe
Yu Yu Yu Xianmen, mother star.
After many years, he returned to his hometown once again.
Every time he came here, he felt very uncomfortable, because he would think of many deceased people, his maternal grandparents, his mother and younger sister, his uncle, Lin Yuanwang, An Siyan, Jin Lingfeng, and so on—each figure, each face constantly appearing before his eyes, especially during these years of loneliness.
This made him feel unadjusted.
Only the elderly often think of the past.
"This is still too idle."
"Lazy ox, lazy horse, plenty of dung and urine."
"If there were a battlefield, this lord would not be so sorrowful over spring and autumn."
Jiang Ding whispered.
He looked at the starry sky of Yu Yu Yu Xianmen; in the night sky of the Tai Yang Xi, super factories had been built, and in the center, the colossal Qilin Gu Huang, like a stone Xing Zhou, floated up and down, while Yu Yu Yu Xianmen cultivators bustled about on the Qilin Gu Huang like ants, with sparks occasionally bursting and flashing.
The ancient emperor-level warship of Yu Yu Yu Xianmen had begun construction.
This was an extremely long project, requiring the lifetimes of many generations of Yu Yu Yu Xianmen citizens.
Jiang Ding carefully inspected this industrial zone, then turned and flew toward the depths of the Wu Ling universe, passing star after star, planet after planet, spending some time to arrive at the Yin Xin Da Hei Dong.
This was where he had achieved the Great Day Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul back then.
Now returning to this old place, the surrounding gravitational pull remained extremely strong, as if it could distort time, yet it could no longer alter the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang in the slightest, not even blowing a single hair.
Jiang Ding's gaze fell upon the center of the Yin Xin Da Hei Dong, and he walked step by step, all the way to the deepest point.
Nothing gained.
"Indeed,"
"It was useless."
Jiang Ding slightly closed his eyes: "Xian, even in the Wu Ling universe, is the height of god-level civilization, and I have long been a celestial-level existence, my influence surpassing star systems and supergalactic clusters; in the Wu Ling universe, if not for the inheritance of god-level civilization or equivalent matter, nothing could affect me."
"And in this Wu Ling universe, does god-level civilization exist?"
Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang gazed into the profound, endless starry sky, revealing a hint of apprehension.
If god-level civilization truly existed, how would it regard such a super-high-energy individual as himself?
Cooperation?
Capture?
No one knows.
The materialist civilization of Yu Yu Yu Xianmen is expanding beyond the galaxy, and after tens of millions of years of development, it has likewise hit a bottleneck, and this bottleneck is far lower than the lower limit of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, with many possibilities—Yu Yu Yu Xianmen's materialist civilization may forever remain at this height.
The great leap in technological progress is merely a contingency in time, not a necessity.
In the universe, there is no such law that technological civilization must always progress, must always advance.
Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang has reached his current height through the inheritance of the Wu Jin Kong Kong hegemon race and the various opponents of all races, which have played an extremely significant reference role; if he were to explore the Xian Dao alone, everything would have to be developed from scratch, and perhaps the supreme would be the limit of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.
Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang has inherited part of the immortal-level transmission from the Xian Dao universe!
Whereas Yu Yu Yu Xianmen's materialist civilization has obtained no god-level civilization transmission whatsoever, exploring alone in the dark, dead starry sky, aside from occasional support from the Xian Dao universe, it has nothing, and the journey has been extremely arduous.
"The possibility of becoming immortal in the Xian Dao universe is somewhat higher than in the Wu Ling universe."
"But it is equally difficult————"
Jiang Ding Zi muttered, his body transforming into a quantum entangled state, sailing through the universe at a speed far exceeding that of light.
He intends to spend some time exploring this universe, once again retracing the path of the Great Day Sword Master Zou Zou Xiyuan from years past, this time going farther, to even more distant places.
One million years later.
A dim, dull yellow light returned silently and soundlessly, revealing the pallid face of the Tai Yang Da Ri Gu Huang.
His body was extremely dim, his breath very weak; if an ancient emperor of a forbidden zone had set an ambush at this time and place, he might possibly reenact the old affairs of the Great Day Sword Master Zou Zou Xiyuan from back then.
"Failed."
"The vastness of the Wu Ling universe exceeds imagination—could it truly be endless?"
Jiang Ding spoke softly.
During this million-year journey, he traveled throughout the Wu Ling universe, witnessed many beautiful celestial phenomena, observed numerous cosmic wonders, and the Mie Fa Dao was thus stirred, his cultivation increased greatly, and he gained many more ideas about the《Mie Fa Tai Yang Xian Jing》, yet he still found no way to conduct the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture experiment at an inappropriate time.
He clearly realized that, compared to the higher-energy Xian Dao universe, the vastness of the Wu Ling universe must necessarily be far greater.
On this journey, aside from capturing a few extraterrestrials and finding a few neither strong nor weak materialist civilizations, he gained nothing of significant value.
Moreover, the farther he strayed from the mother star, the more terrifying the Ling San phenomenon became!
In the later stages of his journey, Jiang Ding had to consume astronomical amounts of Ling Qi for every light-year traveled, this Ling Qi being completely irreplenishable; by the end, he dared not proceed further, for going deeper would mean he could never return.
"This, too, is a dead end."
"How arduous the Xian Dao is————"
Jiang Ding sighed lightly.
In the distance, Yu Yu Yu Xianmen cultivators came flying toward him, their faces filled with excitement.
"Sword Master!"
"You've returned? What is the depths of the universe like?"
Yu Yu Yu Xianmen cultivators spoke hesitantly, and among them were many representatives of the Wu Ling universe populace, who likewise represented Yu Yu Yu Xianmen's will and paid even greater attention to the Wu Ling universe.
"There are some gains, but not many."
Jiang Ding revealed a hint of a smile and waved his hand.
A cluster of light appeared, flying toward the crowd, inside which were imprisoned a group of metal people, a group of silicon-based people, a group of tentacled people, a group of electromagnetic people, as well as large quantities of machines, stone tablets, crystal essences, books, minerals, and so on.
The so-called "people" are not necessarily humanoid in form.
Here, "people" refers to them being intelligent beings, not beasts, possessing their own civilizations.
Many civilizations have already departed their planets, entered the interstellar era, and there is even a most powerful Dahe Xi-level civilization; at that time, they regarded Jiang Ding as a cosmic beast, dispatched an interstellar fleet to encircle him, but Jiang Ding slew them one by one, stormed into the civilization's center, collected vast numbers of specimens, and seized vast amounts of knowledge.
"Aliens!"
"There really are aliens! And alien civilizations!"
Representatives of the Qingmu Xianzong materialist planets cheered one after another, shouting with joy.
After so many years of development, the planets in the Qingmu Xianzong materialist universe inevitably produced some indigenous consciousness, paying more attention to the development of materialist civilization, because this relates to their lifespan, quality of life, etc., not everyone can cultivate immortality.
These materials brought back are equivalent to individual immortal sect-level inheritances in the immortal Dao universe!
These materials and aliens will inevitably push the Qingmu Xianzong materialist civilization to greater heights!
