Chapter 2577: The Youngest Living Being of This Era

The Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's heart held a strange, eerie laugh, yet his face remained perpetually calm and detached.

"Speaking of which,"

"I'm still quite young; I should be the youngest living being in the Wu Jin Kong Kong right now."

Jiang Ding let his thoughts wander.

This is a fact.

Many forbidden-zone ancient emperors are in seclusion, preparing to break through the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture; within decades, someone will achieve breakthrough, a terrifying speed, soon to catch up to the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's power level.

But there is one point: the many forbidden-zone ancient emperors will certainly not be able to catch up to the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang in a short time.

That is lifespan!

The immortal elixirs of the forbidden-zone ancient emperors need time to grow and mature; even with the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture accelerating and sufficient heavenly treasures supplied, they must still take at least ten million years for the fourth-generation immortal elixir to mature—this process cannot be omitted.

This means that before the immortal elixir matures, the many forbidden-zone ancient emperors are a group of aged, long-in-the-tooth old men with little lifespan left!

Dry bones in the grave—truly deserving of the name.

Even if it's the ancient great emperor, his life in this incarnation has already passed one-third; before he lives a second life, he is already a middle-aged man.

Unlike the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, whose fourth life has just begun, like a newborn infant.

"These old things, if they bully the small with their greatness, it would be impolite.

"One must know, fists fear the young and strong—"

Jiang Ding Zi muttered to himself.

Around the blue-clad youth, there flickered a hidden, cold killing intent, rising and falling.

At a certain moment, Jiang Ding lifted his head and gazed into the distance.

Across the Wu Jin Kong Kong, in every star domain, at this moment dozens of stars simultaneously twinkled, falling from the nine heavens, landing in each star domain.

If one focuses and looks closely, one can see that among them, each emperor-level cultivator and supreme being is gradually awakening.

These cultivators have slept in the nine heavens for hundreds of millions of years—a period short compared to the ancient emperors' slumber, but for ordinary beings, an extremely long age.

At this moment, these slumbering beings simultaneously and unanimously revived, awoke, and descended upon the present world, carrying vast amounts of heavenly treasures.

They seemed utterly unafraid of the matter of a child holding gold in the bustling market, acting openly and boldly, even if their revival and fall occurred in neutral and hostile star domains outside the Tai Shang Da Ri domain, they had no worries whatsoever.

"Hahaha!"

"Truly worthy of being the inheritor of the Tai Shang Da Xiandao's lineage!"

Jiang Ding smiled faintly.

These revived beings are precisely the many slumbering powerhouses of the Ninth Tai Shang Da Xianguo's Golden Great Age; they slumbered in the spatial secret realm, placing their hope in the future, believing the ancestral Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang could grant them a brighter path, believing they themselves could one day draw near to immortality.

This is yet another major achievement derived from the educational advantages of the Tai Shang Da Ri path.

The vast number of Eight Tribulation Supremes, quasi-emperors, and emperor-level talents!

This is the entirety of the outstanding talents of the Ninth Tai Shang Da Xianguo's Golden Great Age, accumulated over hundreds of millions of years, generation after generation, radiant as stars, all bursting forth in this time period when the ancestor emerged!

This is a strong trust in the ancestral founder, because the ancestral founder promised them an opportunity to extend their lives! Promised to give them a brighter future!

"My promise will be fulfilled!"

"Extending lifespan alone—those ancient emperors of the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture who are already nearing immortality can already slightly reverse the fundamental laws of heaven and earth, possessing some of the aura of immortals."

Jiang Ding revealed a faint smile, then his smile suddenly faded, his eyes slightly lowered, gazing at what lay before him.

"Sword Master!"

One after another, the Great Sun Sword Cultivators, Sword Emperors, stood silently and solemnly, their aura deep and沉凝.

"Ming Guang Dao Friend, Yang Mang Dao Friend—"

"You all,"

Jiang Ding said lightly: "Each of you shall command a portion of the Tai Shang Da Ri puppet dao soldiers, proceed to各域 to迎接 the awakened cultivators of the Xianguo; if there are obstructers, no need to report, kill without mercy!"

Swish!

In an instant, the eyes of many sword emperors present lit up.

"If an ancient emperor obstructs,"

"If a forbidden-zone ancient emperor's close kin or direct disciples obstruct,"

"Then what shall be done?"

The Da Ri Ming Guang Sword Emperor asked in a deep voice.

"Commanding the forbidden-zone puppet dao soldiers, even if it is an ancient emperor, one may still engage in deadly combat!"

"Kill."

Jiang Ding replied.

"Affirmative!"

One after another, the sword emperors ceased speaking, turned, and departed.

Shortly thereafter, fleets of unmanned vessels and sword emperors departed, about to cleanse the starry sky, to迎接 the revived slumberers of the Ninth Xianguo scattered across the realms.

One year of time passed.

This is the vacation granted by the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang to the many revived cultivators; now it has ended.

After the brief rest, the cruel slaughter and war belonging to this era, to the Golden Great Age, began; from this moment on, everyone will throw themselves into it—attain immortality and possess all, or fail to attain immortality and die.

In the Tai Shang Da Ri Tiangong, a vast expanse of ground, the blue-clad youth sat cross-legged.

—

No lofty steps, no strict hierarchical order; everyone stands at the same height, like an academic conference in a library—this is the relaxed, free, equal academic atmosphere of the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao lineage.

With the blue-clad youth as center, around him are futons; one after another, emperor-level powerhouses sit cross-legged: the Yue Yin Gu Huang, Wan Lu Gu Huang, Mie Dao Gu Huang, and other Tai Shang Da Ri Dao lineage ancient emperors sit, ancient emperors and surrounding emperor-level cultivators in the same position, mingling in the crowd, unremarkable, like ordinary members.

Many sword emperors and already revived but not yet arrived Ninth Xianguo emperor-level cultivators, though not present, have a sliver of divine sense incarnate come here via the Great Dream Sword Realm, taking form as vague bodies sitting here, focused and holding breath, meticulous, like primary school students in restraint.

Many revived emperor-level cultivators, with peripheral vision, glanced around, their breath slightly hushed.

The Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Tong was radiant and flourishing.

There were over a thousand Emperor Realm cultivators seated here!

There were fifty-seven True Immortals of the Dao, seven Ancient Emperors, and one Ancient Emperor of the Forbidden Zone!

Of these, over four hundred Emperor Realm cultivators were slumbering cultivators from the ancient river of time, while the remaining over six hundred were Emperor Realm cultivators born and slumbering within the Ninth Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty.

The Golden Age Immortal Dynasty that ruled Wu Jin Kong Kong for a hundred million years was this terrifying.

This is despite some Emperor Realm cultivators choosing not to slumber, but instead enjoying their lives fully before sitting in meditation; otherwise, the number of Emperor Realm cultivators would be even greater.

These radiant, star-like powerhouses all originated from a single Dao Tong.

This is a scene so overwhelming it could suffocate outsiders—there are simply too many talents, not to mention the vast number of slumbering supremes and quasi-emperors from the Ninth Immortal Dynasty who are not qualified to attend, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, forming the mid-to-high level backbone of the dynasty, serving as the highest civil and military officials of each star domain.

It can be said that although Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang has just revived, he already possesses a perfected and strict management system for Wu Jin Kong Kong, complete in every aspect, with no deficiencies.

In terms of talent alone, the Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty leads all forces by a decisive margin, overwhelmingly ahead.
