Chapter 2595: The Source of Heh Heh Heh

"Fortune!"

"Great fortune!"

Jiang Ding exclaimed in astonishment, the ache in his heart surging once more.

His enlightenment did not last; it was merely a brief epiphany spanning several days, during which he absorbed the most essential and easily assimilated portion of the immortal Dao system's achievements and applied it to himself, then temporarily sealed away the many insights, daring not to truly delve into the deepest levels of enlightenment, unaware of the passage of time in the outside world.

Such a level of enlightenment consumes too much time—thousands, even tens of thousands of years are trivial, and hundreds of thousands of years are not impossible.

In this era when emperors fiercely contend and slaughter, and order has never been fully stabilized, if he truly dared to do so, he would surely fall into death, with no future to speak of.

Yet, even so!

Even so, the seven-character research project of the "Extinction of Laws Solar Immortal Scripture" has advanced by a full twenty percent!

Several days of enlightenment, several days of sudden insight—merely drawing upon the easily accessible portion of the "Immortal Netherworld Immortal Scripture" has propelled the seven-character immortal scripture project forward by twenty percent!

Now, the seven-character project of the "Extinction of Laws Solar Immortal Scripture" has already reached thirty percent completion!

This seven-character immortal scripture research progress—ask, in the boundless starry void, is there any forbidden-zone ancient emperor who can match it? Ask, who can stand shoulder to shoulder?

Beidou Ancient Emperor? Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor?

Huangyan Dragon Emperor?

Or that mysterious schemer lurking in the shadows?

They cannot.

They have only just awakened after decades, not even reaching the eight-character level; in past ages, their research on the seven-character immortal scripture was entirely blank, with no accumulation whatsoever.

Or perhaps the Desolate Ancient Emperor?

Though the Desolate Ancient Emperor, the current emperor of the Golden Great Age, indeed possesses many advantages—the Golden Great Age Imperial Crown—he is too young, with only a few million years of lifespan, and has only just become a forbidden-zone ancient emperor a dozen years ago; such a short time is utterly insufficient to accomplish anything, and among the many forbidden-zone ancient emperors, the Desolate Ancient Emperor is merely a young junior.

"Heh heh heh..."

"Heh heh heh... heh heh heh..."

"O fellow Daoists, you are far too young—who says this lord's talent and ability are mediocre?"

"Baseless talk!"

Jiang Ding opened his eyes and said: "This lord merely excels in a way that is not obvious—do you think this lord's advantage is merely these short decades, toiling as a pioneer for kings? You overthink things!"

"Once the first-mover advantage is established, what follows is growth like a snowball—organizational systems, the explosive efficiency of the immortal Dao industrial research cluster will far surpass any single individual, so-called heaven-shaking, earth-moving talent of the forbidden-zone ancient emperors; all outstanding individuals, before such a great immortal Dao industrial research system, are mediocre!"

"Moreover, this lord has obtained research materials far surpassing those of any forbidden-zone ancient emperor!"

"Heh heh heh... heh heh heh..."

The blue-clad youth became so excited he nearly rolled on the ground, emitting strange, odd laughter that echoed through the palace, immediately drawing puzzled and curious glances from the surrounding women.

Gong Caiyu, Empress Fusan, and Yueyin Ancient Emperor—these three women, along with the Immortal Sect Affairs Council, now serve as the administrative core of the Tai Shang Da Ri Domain.

With them at the center, fully absorbing the Extinction Dao Ancient Emperor, Myriad Slaughter Ancient Emperor, Bitter Fire Ancient Emperor, and numerous emperor-level cultivators, as well as representatives of public opinion from all star domains, they ultimately form the administrative hub of the Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty, managing every aspect of the Tai Shang Da Ri Domain—military, scientific research, governance, taxation, and all other affairs.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang hardly concerns himself with these matters; the vast majority are decided by them.

Now, Gong Caiyu, Empress Fusan, and Yueyin Ancient Emperor—these three women—are managing these affairs, responsible for allocating manpower and material resources, countless heavenly treasures and earthly riches, numerous guest-status ancient emperors, striving with utmost effort to construct the Heavenly Origin Tai Shang Da Ri Demon-Slaying Sword Formation, the urgency palpable.

Yet, the blue-clad youth's strange behavior still attracted their attention.

"Young Master, how did you become like this?"

"I remember he wasn't like this before, heh heh heh... what is this?" Gong Caiyu paused, hesitating.

She looked toward Empress Fusan, believing this must be the change that occurred after her slumber.

"I don't know."

"Your Majesty has only recently begun showing this abnormal behavior..."

Empress Fusan replied helplessly, indicating she was completely unaware.

"I know!"

"I know I know I know!"

Yueyin Ancient Emperor suddenly raised her hand with a swish, laughing as she handed over a tiny screen the size of a grain of rice, enlarged it, and there it was—a currently popular drama on the Immortal Sect Central Television, titled "Nine Abysses Demon Lord," in which a very famous major villain is now laughing.

"Heh heh heh..."

"Heh heh heh... heh heh heh..."

The air suddenly fell silent.

Only the great villain's heh heh heh laughter remained, sounding eerily sinister, making one instantly recognize a truly evil person upon hearing it. Gong Caiyu and Empress Fusan glanced at the drama, then at the blue-clad youth.

Looking left, looking right.

Looking right, looking left.

Both women exchanged glances, speechless, unsure what to say.

The drama's peak popularity seemed to be around a dozen years ago?

Thus, it matches.

Not a single detail off, leaving one speechless.

"No."

"Xiao Yue, it's work hours now—what are you doing?!!"

Gong Caiyu suddenly came to her senses, looked toward Yueyin Ancient Emperor, and said sternly: "According to the Young Master's regulations, watching television is forbidden now!"

"No watching television, and no doing other unrelated things!"

Just now, Yueyin Ancient Emperor had clearly shrunk the drama to the size of a grain of rice, then used concealment arts, successfully hiding it from the two. This means she was handling state affairs and scientific research on one hand, while openly watching television and slacking off on the other—and during work hours!

"Uh uh—"

"Ancestral Master, I didn't—I just pulled it up for you to look... haha..."

Yueyin Ancient Emperor scratched her head, gave an embarrassed smile.

She strained to make a cute gesture.

She is extremely beautiful, dreamy and ethereal, like a fairy from the Moon Palace, with outstanding achievements on the path of beauty, so beautiful as if a living being fallen from the immortal realm, somewhat unreal.

Even if Gong Caiyu were to revive in this era, seeing numerous ancient emperors and forbidden zone ancient emperors, and being able to examine their appearances and deeds, these ancient emperors all achieved glorious pasts that no predecessors had ever accomplished.

But in terms of beauty, currently no living being can rival the Moon Yin Ancient Emperor.

Even if the forbidden zone ancient emperors are included, it remains so.

At this moment, she scratched her head, acting cute, instantly melting people's hearts.

Beauty value critical hit!

"Yes, yes, yes?" "But, really, no watching TV during work hours?"

Gong Caiyu's small face flushed, she stammered, clearly affected by the cute attack, her speech became incoherent, her originally serious expression vanished.

"Mm-hmm,"

"Yes, yes."

The Moon Yin Ancient Emperor nodded like a chick pecking at grain.

"Well, then, okay..."

Gong Caiyu struggled for a moment, then said listlessly.
