Chapter 2646

Free trade!

With the complete restoration and surpassing of the productivity of the first Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Chao period by the Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Dao Gong Ye system, the concept of free trade was proposed again and accepted by many Emperor Realm cultivators and many ancient emperors of the Tai Shang Da Ri domain, and strongly advocated.

The production capacity is too great now!

Out of profit, out of desire for the Dao, many ancient emperors instantly became warmongers.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang is no exception.

The biggest reason is not wealth—he already has some wealth, though not enough for ascension—but more importantly,

to get the material exchange of Wu Jin Kong Kong going!

Material carries spirit and knowledge.

With material exchange underway, the wisdom of the various emperors and the Xian Dao Gong Ye system are also exchanging, and only through this exchange will more brilliant Xian Dao achievements be born.

Do not, in this brilliant golden age, have each Xian Chao and feudal-like independent kingdom remain eternally estranged.

Such a situation is intolerable to Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.

For, under the current circumstances, the one who occupies the most benefits of Wu Jin Kong Kong is him! He is the big picture!

Therefore, in his eyes, any living being that destroys the ascension big picture is a thorn in the flesh, a thorn in the eye.

"But... not now."

"I can't beat them when I go out."

Jiang Ding's gaze was deep and distant: "The time to re-establish the order of Wu Jin Kong Kong is when I ascend the Seven-Character Xian Jing; otherwise, it's just self-humiliation."

"But we can't do nothing either."

"Soft persimmon,"

Jiang Ding looked at Fusang and said: "Increase support for trade partners like the Taiyang Gu Huang, Huanggu Dadi, and Bai Zhan Gu Huang—in heavenly materials and earthly treasures, in the study of the Seven-Character Xian Jing, all of this—strive to widen the gap between them and other forbidden-zone ancient emperors in the shortest time possible."

"Don't you like closing the doors and shutting the country?"

"Then let them keep falling behind the other forbidden-zone ancient emperors!"

Jiang Ding let out a cold laugh.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fusang Empress solemnly took note.

……

The peaceful years of Wu Jin Kong Kong continued.

Many forbidden-zone ancient emperors had already planted their fourth-generation immortal elixir, letting it take root and sprout, grow vigorously—even the ninth-character Xian Jing forbidden-zone ancient emperors did so, for the environment of the golden age was too good; immortal elixirs that were hard to grow in the past now easily took root and sprouted in this era, making one delighted just to watch.

The only difference is that eighth-character Xian Jing ancient emperors can more efficiently transmute chaos, further process many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and give the fourth-generation immortal elixir a better growing environment, more sufficient nutrients, and with Dao authority accelerate the growth speed of the immortal elixir, letting it grow at several to ten times the speed.

It can be said that all the emperors are licking their wounds, waiting to live out their fourth generation.

If it weren't for the terrifying first-mover advantage of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, the emperors would absolutely not want to start hostilities now, to fight to the death with their aged, decaying bodies.

But now it's about the same, and the final outcome hasn't changed.

In such relatively peaceful years, time flowed slowly.

Unbeknownst, tens of thousands of years passed.

For cosmic-level life, this is a relatively short span, but already enough for some changes to appear.

Tai Shang Da Ri Tiangong. In the immortal elixir cultivation secret realm modeled after the ancient human Tai Shang Da Ri Tian Zhu, ancient emperors and Emperor Realm cultivators, some unable to restrain their excited emotions, stepped into the secret realm, hastily paid their respects, then all walked toward the center, arriving behind a blue-clad youth and standing solemnly, holding their breath, not daring to disturb.

The blue-clad youth's eyes held black and white light bursting forth, flickering, as he analyzed everything happening before him.

Before everyone was a pond that seemed to contain the embryonic form of the entire universe; the declining great Dao sank and floated within it, fully manifested, just like the Heavenly Dao of the declining era, ruling over everything.

And amidst the layers of declining light, a seed faintly pushed out an incredibly tiny root stem, took root in the declining great Dao, and was finally observed by Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.

"Good!"

"Not bad for the golden age!"

Jiang Ding exclaimed joyfully: "I haven't even fully researched the fifth-generation immortal elixir, knowing only the 'what' but not the 'why,' but damn it, under these circumstances the fifth-generation immortal elixir actually took root and sprouted! The research difficulty dropped by dozens of times—it's too easy!"

"I doubt that in the golden age, in Xian Dao research, there truly exists despair?"

The blue-clad youth had a look of self-satisfied pride.

The fifth-generation immortal elixir—what an arduous topic! If placed in the first Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Chao era, he wouldn't even dare to think of it, let alone research it, knowing there was no hope—but in the golden age, he casually tried it once, and actually changes appeared!

"Hahaha!"

"Golden age, golden age..." Jiang Ding's smile couldn't be stopped.

The surrounding ancient emperors had waited a long time, finally growing impatient, exchanging glances, and ultimately the gazes of over seven hundred ancient emperors fell upon the Mie Dao Gu Huang.

This ancient emperor is the second Sword Emperor of the Ri Da Dao lineage, a legitimate inheritor of the great Ri transmission; although he usually doesn't get along with Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, always sharpening his blades, everyone knows that before the holy sword duel occurs, this Sword Emperor is Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's most favored Sword Emperor.

"Sword Lord,"

"May we see how the Zhen Yuan Shen Guo Shu is doing?"

Mie Dao Gu Huang, unafraid of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, casually asked.

Over these years, the seven hundred-plus ancient emperors have invested considerable effort into the Zhen Yuan Shen Guo Shu, and have successively received support from Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, Huanggu Dadi, Taiyang Gu Huang, Jiu Ye Jian Huang, and others—among the strongest under heaven—making it a gathering place of the Xian Dao wisdom of many golden-age ancient emperors.

Longevity—already broken the limit of thirty million years lifespan per lifetime—Zhen Yuan Shen Guo Shu... any single one of these words can draw the attention of any ancient emperor under heaven.

Over tens of thousands of years, the wisdom of the emperors has gathered here, finally completing the first version of the Zhen Yuan Shen Guo Shu.

This result is placed near the planting of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's fifth-generation immortal elixir, relying on the fortune of the fifth-generation immortal elixir, hoping the Zhen Yuan Shen Guo Shu can succeed, letting the emperors extend their lifespans.

"Oh!"

"This is my fault!" Jiang Ding suddenly realized, repeatedly apologizing, waving his hand.

Boom—

Boom—boom...

Near the fifth-generation immortal elixir, space split open, chaotic fortune surged, and a towering, dim-yellow ancient tree billions of zhang high slowly rose, appearing before everyone.

This is the Zhen Yuan Shen Guo Shu cultivated and nurtured by the emperors' fortune.

It grows beside the manifested End of the Dharma Great Dao, with thirty-six thousand doll-shaped fruits at its lowest end—these are the Supreme Fruits, which take ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years to grow and can extend a Supreme's lifespan by five hundred thousand years;

Nine hundred Emperor Fruits grow in the middle, taking nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years to mature, and can extend the lifespan of Emperor Realm cultivators by one million years;

At the very top, where myriad fortunes converge and primordial purple qi gathers, ninety Imperial Fruits grow, requiring nine hundred ninety-nine thousand years to mature, theoretically capable of extending an Ancient Emperor's lifespan by five million years.

This is the theoretical growth period; if an Ancient Emperor of the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture or even the Seven-Character Immortal Scripture carefully cultivates it, the growth time can be accelerated.

"Zhenyuan Person Ginseng Fruit Tree..."

Numerous Ancient Emperors suddenly gasped for breath.

Theoretically, it can extend lifespan—specifically, it can extend an Ancient Emperor's lifespan by five million years, a calculation verified countless times without error—but in practice, it remains unknown. If the theory is correct and verified, perhaps within at most a million years, Imperial Fruits that could extend the lifespans of all emperors might be born.
