Chapter 2569: Establishing the Capital at Jiu Ling Yu

Jiang Ding led a large group of ancient emperors soaring across the vast starry sky, passing through one imperial road after another, flying toward the capital city of Jiu Ling Yu in the Tai Shang Da Ri Yu.

At the same time, he drafted an official document in his personal name: Citizen Jiang Ding, carrying the three major versions of the Central Array Spirit Computer from the Immortal Sect, along with sixty-eight specially appointed foreign academicians about to enter the border, requesting the Immortal Sect's relevant departments to prepare for reception; if there are special circumstances, please communicate as soon as possible.

The official document of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang did not cause much disturbance, for this was expected; following procedure was sufficient, as the entire Immortal Sect was immersed in the joy of a large batch of ancient citizens about to return, leading the Immortal Sect back to the pinnacle of the endless starry sky.

At the same time, an extremely thorny issue appeared in the Immortal Sect Citizens' Assembly.

"There is no doubt that Tai Shang Da Ri Yu will establish its capital at Jiu Ling Yu; this place is undoubtedly the most suitable for the growth of the Great Dao in the degenerate age, and a solid foundation for future ascension cannot possibly exist elsewhere."

"The only problem is, should the capital be established on the Immortal Sect's mother star?"

"Or should it be established at Yang Yin Mountain, the ruins of the Great Day Sword Pavilion?"

"Or elsewhere?"

The Immortal Sect's chief executive solemnly raised this issue.

The entire hall fell silent.

Obviously, though living in turbulent times, the Immortal Sect has not declined; the Immortal Sect citizen representatives present all possess extremely high political quality and are fully capable—

of understanding the profound implications contained in Tai Shang Da Ri Yu's establishment of its capital, which is not merely a simple matter of where the capital is located.

It can be said that this decision will profoundly influence the next hundreds of millions of years, even hundreds of millions of years, and even the possibility of ascension.

Choosing to establish the capital at the Yang Yin Mountain ruins of the Great Day Sword Pavilion means that this endless starry sky regime will politically lean more toward the traditional Immortal Sect, inheriting the legacy of the Great Day Ancestral Master, bringing many benefits to uniting the hearts of sword cultivators and spell cultivators of the endless starry sky, at least in political influence.

Choosing to establish the capital outside the mother star and outside the Yang Yin Mountain ruins means, politically, that the Immortal Sect and many Immortal Sect traditions will be equally emphasized.

This is an old tradition from the era of the First Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty, when Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang favored the Immortal Sect politically; capable Immortal Sect citizens would be entrusted with important tasks, while also vigorously promoting and cultivating many heroes of the endless starry sky, with benefits distributed according to actual achievements in warfare, scientific research, and political performance.

The final choice, establishing the capital in the Immortal Sect, then means—

The Immortal Sect and many traditions of the endless starry sky will undergo extensive political fusion; the Immortal Sect as a whole will exist as an entity similar to a forbidden-zone emperor sect or forbidden-zone emperor imperial clan, simultaneously becoming more efficient and orderly, with benefits not divided by the closeness or distance of blood ties; politically, this is naturally the best.

Many citizen representatives fell into deep thought.

"May I ask, does the Great Day Elder have any inclination?"

A citizen representative voiced what everyone was thinking.

The will of a forbidden-zone emperor from ancient times who has revived, and moreover, who has just returned victorious from single-handedly battling the forbidden-zone emperors of the endless starry sky, forcibly tearing apart one-third of the endless starry sky's territory to make it his own domain—this will cannot be ignored; this terrifying power naturally exists even without words.

"No inclination."

"The Great Day Elder's participation in governance allows us full authority to arrange reception matters, respecting any constitutional choice made by citizens."

The Immortal Sect's chief executive immediately said.

"This—"

"Truly worthy of being an elder!"

"His political stance is so firm, so admirable."

Many citizens, upon hearing this, praised aloud, and a sense of reverence arose in their hearts.

Speaking fairly, the Immortal Sect's current overall strength is not even comparable to a single imperial capital; in strength, it has absolutely no qualification to compare with forbidden-zone emperors; yet the Great Day Elder can firmly uphold the citizens' position and respect citizens' laws—this is indeed rare.

"First, the choice of establishing the capital at the Yang Yin Mountain ruins is completely ruled out!"

"Is there no objection to this, everyone?"

The first citizen representative to speak looked around and said.

"No."

"Establishing the capital anywhere is impossible—establishing it at Yang Yin Mountain!"

In an instant, almost all citizens said.

This is a matter of principle.

Many citizens discussed heatedly, connected to the Central Array Spirit Computer, fully considered various opinions, and finally fell silent.

"Let us vote."

The Immortal Sect's chief executive said.

Ballots began to be counted, and finally a result was obtained.

"Tai Shang Da Ri Yu will establish its capital on the Immortal Sect's mother star, to fully gather the most cutting-edge immortal Dao science and technology talents and heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the endless starry sky, but it is necessary to implement a separation of the two realms, so that foreign cultivators may not influence any citizen activities, production, or study."

"Establishing the capital on the mother star?"

Jiang Ding was startled, but then his expression remained normal, unchanged.

At this moment, he and the various emperors had already descended upon Jiu Ling Yu, crossed the vast starry expanse in a single step, and finally arrived outside the mother star, where the chief executive Cheng and many Immortal Sect citizens were already waiting.

Cheng is a round, plump man, appearing to have little iron-blooded aura.

"Cheng, it is a pleasure to meet you for the first time."

Amid the astonished gazes of the various emperors, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang first bowed slightly to a cultivator at the Emperor Realm.

"Great Day Elder,"

"It is a pleasure to see you."

Chief Executive Cheng calmly accepted the salute, then tightly gripped the hand of the youth in green robes, his voice full of excitement.

The citizens of the ancient era, living fossils of history, have finally come before him, once again standing beside the Immortal Sect citizens.

"Great Day Elder,"

"Elder Yuan, Elder Lu, Elder Cheng—where are they————"

Chief Executive Cheng could not wait to speak of the legendary sages in Immortal Sect history; these citizens laid the foundation for the Immortal Sect's ancient legacy, precisely because of them does the present Immortal Sect exist.

Moreover, Chief Executive Cheng feels somewhat inadequate regarding the current pattern of the endless starry sky.

This era is one of the emergence of many forbidden-zone emperors, many forbidden-zone emperors engaging in chaotic battles and slaughter—a terrifying age; in every aspect, it has long surpassed his and many citizens' horizons and abilities; many feelings of panic and confusion occasionally arise; at this moment, there is an urgent need for many more capable citizens to come forward and participate in political decision-making.

These historical citizen predecessors will undoubtedly greatly enrich the Immortal Sect's strength and horizons.

"Wait a moment,"

"First, let us meet these fellow Daoists, all of whom are very important guests."

Jiang Ding smiled but did not answer, instead beginning to introduce the many Sword Emperors present, as well as the Weak Water Ancient Emperor and over thirty other human Ancient Emperors.

These Ancient Emperors, as spoken, were indeed merely guests, not subordinates, and bore no military or political obligations.

"Cheng,"

"Greetings to all the seniors."

The Chancellor Cheng bowed deeply in salute.

This does not violate the etiquette of the immortal sect.

In the immortal sect, the Chancellor holds the highest political position; even the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang must salute first when meeting the Chancellor, which shows the extent of it.

But there is an exception.

That is, the immortal sect academicians, or foreign immortal sect academicians.

Out of the immortal sect's principle of extreme respect for knowledge, when the Chancellor meets an academician or a foreign academician, he often initiates the salute to express respect.

"Greetings, Chancellor Daoist."

The emperors also did not slight this insignificant Emperor Realm cultivator too much, slightly nodding in return.
