Chapter 2552

Hearing the faint voice speaking gently, chatting casually, the current sect leader of the Immortal Gate felt somewhat moved in his heart.

This is a legendary citizen of the Immortal Gate in history!

Back then, the Immortal Gate rose from the narrow Nine Spirit Realm, grew stronger step by step, became the strongest in the starry void, even ruling multiple eras consecutively, giving birth to many ancient emperors, and the original source of all this was this very ancient citizen—him and many predecessors from back then laid the foundation of the Immortal Gate.

"Senior Great Sun!"

"It is truly an honor to meet you today."

The sect leader took a deep breath, spoke, and unconsciously stepped forward, reaching out to grasp the hand of that hazy figure—this is basic political and social etiquette.

"Haha!"

"What honor! All brothers and sisters."

Jiang Ding was slightly stunned, then let out a helpless laugh, and likewise gripped the sect leader's hand: "Hello, hello, you've done well in this era—pushing forward the Golden Great Age, over a thousand true immortals of the present age, numerous proud heirs of the Dao, forbidden zone Dao heirs—truly impressive. Back then, I couldn't have done this."

"Where, where, you overpraise me————"

The sect leader's face turned slightly red, and some Immortal Gate citizens around also felt embarrassed, actually blushing, causing nearby cultivators to show expressions of having seen a ghost.

What in the world is this?

You count how many lives are under your command—you're already millions of years old, and you're shy? Ah? You're shy? What nonsense is this!

Jiang Ding and the sect leader chatted and boasted to each other, exchanged praise, and talked with great enthusiasm.

Afterwards, he met each of the present Immortal Gate Emperor Realm cultivators one by one, each getting to know the other, just like meeting new friends at a gathering—no stiffness or formality.

This conversation process lasted approximately a thousand years.

During this process, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang and many Immortal Gate cultivators appeared to be chatting idly, and indeed they were, but they were also doing other things—namely, the immortal soul of the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang merging with the immortal souls of many Immortal Gate citizens into the "Army Soul Multitude," then jointly advancing the progress of Immortal Dao science, which had become habitual.

Over these thousand years, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang and the vast number of Immortal Gate Immortal Dao scientists mainly focused on optimizing the "Causal Time Great Avenue Translation Divine Consciousness Immortal Array."

Immortal Gate citizens are like this—on the battlefield, they cluster together in combat, never fighting alone.

Likewise in production and study, they cluster together; in Immortal Dao research, they cluster together; even when going out to travel and play, they enjoy clustering. The united battle formations and collective will permeated every aspect of citizens' lives, forming a unique customs and culture habit, difficult for outsiders to adapt to or understand.

The remaining small portion of energy was used to exchange each other's information and inheritance.

The Immortal Gate's inheritance is too ancient—despite exhausting various carriers and multiple composite recording methods, vast amounts of inheritance have been lost, even knowledge engraved on immortal gold has long since weathered and shattered.

Meanwhile, over these years, benefiting from the extremely rich material environment of the Golden Great Age, the superior environment for Immortal Dao science brought forth by successive ancient emperor Dao traditions and forbidden zone Dao traditions, the Immortal Gate has also developed a large amount of unique Golden Great Age Immortal Dao knowledge. Although its depth currently cannot compare to the "Extinction of Law Sun Immortal Scripture," in breadth of knowledge, it surpasses.

This is truly shocking.

In this era, too many Dao traditions have emerged—various immortal scriptures, various inheritances, various naturally born heaven-chosen prodigies—each person, on their own unique Dao direction, has achieved their own distinctive results. In this specific domain, even the forbidden zone ancient emperors are inferior to a single ancient emperor.

To absorb these unique Immortal Dao knowledges is, for any forbidden zone ancient emperor, a great opportunity.

While Jiang Ding chatted with the citizens, he was not only facing the sect leader and a group of Immortal Gate Emperor Realm cultivators, but also any Immortal Gate citizen qualified to participate in collective will exchange.

During this process, the aura on his body gradually became rounded and smooth, no longer so sharp-edged.

The rejection by heaven and earth toward him seemed to have lessened somewhat, no longer frequently manifesting terrifying rule collapses and monstrous anomalies, or violent contagious phenomena.

"Undying Ancient Emperor,"

"This sovereign once again misses you————"

For no reason, Jiang Ding felt a thread of killing intent arise in his heart.

What is the opportunity of the Golden Great Age?

This is the opportunity of the Golden Great Age!

Although these ancient emperor Dao traditions all come from the paths of various true immortals, and lack complete immortal scriptures, far inferior to the true historical ancient emperor immortal scriptures, they are already extremely precious opportunities.

The general paths of the various emperors, the general inheritances of the various emperors, were all displayed before the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, greatly broadening his path and foundation—something even the Northern Dipper Ancient Emperor failed to achieve when establishing the Immortal Dynasty, and also something unachieved by many builders of Golden Great Age Immortal Dynasties.

Heaven and earth are too narrow; being able to nurture one or two inheritors, transmitting one or two techniques and secret arts, is already the utmost limit.

Wanting to, like the current Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, swallow whole the various Golden Great Age inheritances and paths is utterly impossible—this is the vast difference between a small pipe trickling water and a great river like the Dahe flooding fiercely.

Once again, on the foundation of Immortal Dao, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang achieved leadership.

This first-mover advantage will inevitably exert an extremely intense influence on the strategic landscape of the Boundless Starry Void in the future.

Finally, after exchanging with the many citizens, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang turned his gaze toward the many Great Sun Sword Immortals and the Tushan lineage true immortals, his gaze calm.

At this moment, the entire Tai Shang Da Ri Heavenly Pivot instantly shifted from relaxed and cheerful to heavy and terrifying.

Though the aura of this hazy figure is weaker than even a Qi-refining cultivator—truly feeble, like an ant—yet many true immortals present inexplicably felt a chill reaching the essence of their divine souls arise in their hearts.

It was as if they were facing the source of heaven and earth, the authority over life and death.

In an instant, all true immortals had different thoughts.

"Sword Master."

The present Great Day Sword Child Zangyang whispered softly.

"Sword Master."

"Sword Master————"

"Ancestral Master————"

The Extinction Dao Sword Immortal, the Myriad Slaughter Sword Immortal, and several true immortals of the Great Day Sword Dao in the present age all slightly lowered their heads, expressing their respect.

Only respect.

Not submission, not acknowledgment of defeat—this requires real swords and blood.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists."

"Today, seeing so many talents, heaven-chosen prodigies of the Shen Zhou, this sovereign cannot help but feel delighted."

Jiang Ding slightly nodded, saying: "Today's meeting with you all is mainly to discuss the issue of achieving the status of Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor—this path is extremely arduous. If you fellow Daoists can achieve it, this sovereign will be pleased to see your success."

If the Golden Great Age gives birth to a Tai Shang Da Ri Dao tradition's Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor of the present age, this will be an indescribable ladder to immortality—slay him, and immortality becomes attainable.

The path to immortality is not about inward competition, nor is it the first-ranked person who attains immortality.

No one knows how elusive the path to immortality is, how lofty it is, or whether it truly is harder than mortals ascending to heaven. Under such circumstances, emphasizing the enemy in tactics, striving to build each step of the ladder, is the will of the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.

"Yes!"

"Sword Master!"

Many of the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maidens and the Tushan True Immortal Maiden were sincerely convinced and delighted.
