Chapter 2531: Four-Generation Immortal Elixir Sprouting in the Golden Great Age

Time passed again.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang waited quietly in his slumber for the arrival of variables, indifferently watching his lifespan slowly fade, his heart utterly calm.

In the meantime, countless years of time passed.

The outside world was clearly undergoing changes, some variables were accumulating, the seal on the ancient emperor of the forbidden zone by heaven and earth was clearly loosening, so much so that Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang could finally extend some of his gaze, looking toward the boundless starry sky, looking toward his surroundings.

"Graveyard?"

"Mountain peak?"

Jiang Ding looked toward the darkness around him.

In the hazy gloom, countless twisted, dim lights existed, and around him stood mountain peaks, scattered like stars on a chessboard, filling the surroundings, a full six mountain peaks, upon which lay broken swords, ruined walls, shattered flags, and doorways, standing densely, as if a world had been shattered here.

"No, not a graveyard and mountain peaks, but the slumbering world of the ancient emperor!"

"They and I were expelled by the river of time, fell into the present world, and happened to land here, perhaps not by chance, but a mechanism of the river of time expelling foreign objects—"

Jiang Ding had a faint realization.

Unlike many ancient emperors who were already shattered or half-shattered, the Great Sun Forbidden Zone still retained most of its integrity, forming a continuous forbidden zone spanning millions of li.

"Heaven and earth are loosening, the seal on us is weakening."

"What is the cause?"

"Have the many heavenly prodigies who became emperors in this Golden Great Age begun to be born? Has the Dao and time begun to converge toward a center, begun to become orderly? If so, this must be an unprecedented prosperous age, with at least a thousand true immortals!"

"Perhaps at this time, true immortals no longer bear the name of true immortal, but are merely given the blanket title of unparalleled heavenly prodigy, because their numbers are too great, and the title of true immortal would not be so diluted."

Jiang Ding revealed a look of longing.

If he had been born in this era, drawn his sword and risen, one man with one sword slaying all the heroes of the world, he could certainly have completed the Nine-Character Immortal Scripture in one lifetime, become an immortal in one lifetime, why then would he have slumbered so long?

In the mortal world, for beings like them from the past, it is unfair, the years they grew up in were too barren.

The time-suppression of the Golden Great Age began to loosen, no longer possessing the ultimate terrifying power of prohibition.

At this time, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang could finally let his immortal soul lightly touch the Dao of this era, especially the End of Dharma Dao, and truly open his eyes to behold the heaven and earth of this era.

Boom!

As soon as Jiang Ding's divine sense touched the End of Dharma Dao of this era, his body shuddered, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in his sea of consciousness, roaring loudly.

This is inspiration, this is a surge of thought, this is sudden enlightenment!

Like sparks bursting forth, thousands upon thousands of trees of silver blossoms blooming and flashing in sudden enlightenment, surging like a rushing torrent, utterly unstoppable, making his whole person nearly Dao-ified!

"This heaven and earth—"

"Is too suitable for the development of Shi Dao Wen Ming! Too suitable, too easy!"

Jiang Ding took a deep breath.

At this moment, merely a fleeting instant, his Nine-Character Immortal Scripture had already taken a step toward the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture, having completed at least one ten-thousandth of the process!

What does this mean?

As long as at most ten thousand days, at most twenty-seven years, he can complete the entire calculation of the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture experimental model!

Good heavens!

When did the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture experiment, once as hopeless as a heavenly chasm, become calculable in days?

It is simply too unbelievable, too astonishing, completely unlike the past; if the past era's calculation of the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture was like solving the Goldbach conjecture, now it is at most merely studying higher mathematics, the difference in difficulty between the two is simply heaven and earth apart!

At the same time, a terrifying price occurred upon Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's body.

Suddenly, brown and grayish-white spots appeared on his immortal body, strands of black hair instantly turned to snow, then to ash falling down, and throughout the Great Sun Forbidden Zone, deep abyss-like fissures appeared, nearly about to shatter apart.

"Hmph!"

Jiang Ding let out a muffled groan, fresh immortal blood trickling from his black and white pupils.

Insufficient energy!

Magic power, divine sense, and even immortal matter are severely lacking!

Forcibly contemplating the essence of the Dao, this is equivalent to forcibly extracting the foundation of Tai Shang Da Ri's immortal body, transforming it into energy for immortal soul contemplation, paying a heavy price, and in an instant, while weak, he fell again into severe injury.

"The Dao lies ahead, but I was somewhat careless."

"Haha!"

Jiang Ding laughed somewhat heartily.

Although he had paid these prices, he had likewise confirmed one thing.

That is, when the ancient emperor of the Golden Great Age is born, he needs at most twenty-seven years to complete the advancement of the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture!

Now, then, he needs to be more honest.

Otherwise, immortal soul contemplation will literally drain him to death!

"Contemplating the Dao is not feasible."

"However, it is not that nothing can be done."

Jiang Ding extended his hand, palm open, revealing a miniature pond within, where water flowed and turned, containing a world within, and at the center of the water's flow floated a twelfth-grade lotus seat base, emitting the light of dusk, with chaotic气流 circulating, and around him faintly heard the low hum of the末法 Dao.

This is the Dao's treasure, the Dao's creation, the fourth-generation Tai Shang Da Ri immortal elixir!

In the era of the Tai Shang Da Ri immortal dynasty, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang exhausted his own wisdom, devoted all the manpower and material resources of the entire immortal dynasty, yet could not make this fourth-generation Tai Shang Da Ri immortal elixir sprout even a bit, like dead matter, and in the end had to completely abandon the ambition of living a fourth generation, placing all his hope in the slumbering ages.

He had thought it would be impossible to see the fourth-generation immortal elixir revive, the heavenly and earthly seal unable to be broken.

But he did not expect that merely today, there would be a change!

A change like thunderclap!

"Shi Dao, do not cut off my lord's path—"

"Once again, I have possessed time."

Jiang Ding whispered.

His black and white radiance flickering gaze fell upon the seemingly completely dead lotus台 of the Tai Shang Da Ri immortal elixir, and upon careful magnification and focus, a tender yellow-green leaf was quietly probing out, swallowing and exhaling chaos and time, gradually accumulating creation's vitality, gathering the dream of the forbidden zone ancient emperor living a fourth generation.

Compared to the three-lifetime immortal elixir, its growing environment is extremely harsh, lacking numerous heavenly treasures to consume, and without the vast starry expanse immortal flora star-orbit great formation to tend to it, it can only grow like a pine or cypress on a Gobi desert cliff—slowly—requiring at least three billion years to accumulate enough hope for the forbidden zone ancient emperor to live a fourth life, and even then only if everything goes smoothly.

Too long.

This is unacceptable.

It needs to absorb external essence; perhaps, when the heavenly and earthly禁 loosens a little, we can consider arranging the Golden Great Era's struggle for emperorship—the Great Sun Forbidden Zone needs living beings to be born, affecting the vast starry expanse—

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang sank into contemplation, then fell into self-seclusion once more.
