Chapter 2651: The Super Ox and Horse of the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang

Things indeed turned out as Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang had predicted.

In the following tens of thousands of years, Wu Jin Kong Kong was far from peaceful; one ancient emperor after another ascended to the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture, bursting forth like a spring, with a hundred flowers blooming in unison.

The scent of gunpowder in Wu Jin Kong Kong grew increasingly thick.

New predators had already appeared, yet the territory of Wu Jin Kong Kong had not expanded.

Numerous predators crowded into the narrow region of Bai Zhan Yu; from a territorial perspective, it was nearly shoulder to shoulder, person pressing against person.

More importantly, there was poverty.

The Immortal Dao is of the heart-mind, of the immortal soul, but likewise it is material!

These venerable Nine-Character Immortal Scripture ancient emperors truly are the radiant brilliance that surged forth from the long river of eternity; even though crowded into a corner, even though impoverished and destitute, lacking even the resources for cultivation and refining treasures, long overlooked by the situation in Wu Jin Kong Kong, they still managed to ascend to the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture within hundreds of thousands of years.

One can imagine the talent of these forbidden-zone ancient emperors.

Now that they have ascended, these later arrivals' yearning for the starry sky territory and heavenly treasures can be imagined to be what intensity? Simply put, like wolves.

Know that the subsequent deduction of Immortal Scriptures, cultivating fourth-generation immortal elixirs, refining treasures, cultivating… which one of these does not consume heavenly treasures in vast quantities?

These living beings who later ascended as forbidden-zone ancient emperors are hungry wolves, like barbarian tribes surrounding the civilized world who possess nothing but a single life; if they cannot achieve their goal, the Red Line Ancient Emperor's new Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden-zone ancient emperors may not fear death.

All the powerhouses of Wu Jin Kong Kong have already felt the terrible taste of wind and rain approaching in the starry sea.

What makes people even more breathless is that these new Eight-Character Immortal Scripture ancient emperors display a high degree of orderliness; they did not act alone, but gathered together, assembling in the Zi Wei Ancient Realm.

Eight Eight-Character Immortal Scripture ancient emperors, nine, ten, twelve…

One after another, Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden-zone ancient emperors gathered in Zi Wei Ancient Realm; great Dao manifestations took shape at the center of this universe; profound Dao authorities deeply influenced the heavenly Dao; winds and clouds converged, pulling the gaze of all living beings in Wu Jin Kong Kong.

……

Tai Shang Da Ri Yu.

As the ascension phenomena gradually faded, the star sea returned to tranquility.

Three great Dao authorities appeared between heaven and earth, then gradually faded, revealing the figures of the three human emperors—Tianhe Dadi and others—whose aura was unprecedentedly terrifying and mighty, ranking among the strongest of the present age.

These three human emperors, naturally, during the Ten Emperors' War, were seized of the starry sky territory by the many who first ascended to the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden-zone ancient emperors, and later settled at Tai Shang Da Ri as Tianhe Dadi and others; over hundreds of thousands of years, they finally succeeded in ascending to the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture; their talent and fortune are beyond doubt.

Now, these three human emperors have finally ascended, and it is also the time of parting.

This point, Jiang Ding had long anticipated. Forbidden-zone ancient emperors, especially Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden-zone ancient emperors, could never possibly be loyal to any single person—at least not at present.

"Paying respects,"

"Tai Shang Da Ri senior!"

Indeed, Tianhe Dadi and the other two had just completed their ascension, then came before the blue-clad youth, bowed deeply, and performed the rites of junior disciples.

"These past years, thank you for your protection, seniors; we keep it in our hearts."

"Now that the starry winds and clouds shift, it is precisely the time for us cultivators to wage war; we cannot long remain in a land of ease and lose the sharpness that a fine young man should possess."

Tianhe Dadi bowed again, saying: "Great Sun senior, today's kindness will surely be repaid in the future."

The rites were performed with utmost reverence, without any hint of arrogance merely because they had ascended to the same rank; on the contrary, they grew even more respectful, venerating this human elder.

"Alas!"

Jiang Ding let out a light sigh, about to utter a few words of consolation, but upon seeing this, he held his tongue.

The Tai Shang Da Ri domain now flourishes to the extreme in Immortal Dao civilization, dominating the universe's productivity and scientific strength; these three human forbidden-zone ancient emperors contributed greatly, though they never directly took the battlefield, their contributions were never lacking; now that parting is imminent, there is indeed some reluctance.

"Fellow Daoists, do not speak further of kindness." "Fellow Daoists residing here, one room, one dwelling, one meal, one drink—all obtained by your own hands; all that you have gained is exchanged for corresponding contributions made to the Tai Shang Da Ri domain; in this process, I too have benefited greatly—this is mutual benefit."

"To speak of kindness, of righteousness—how mistaken!"

Jiang Ding composed his emotions, then with a solemn expression corrected the error in the words of Tianhe Dadi and the other two.

In his view, Tianhe Dadi and the other two are merely technical experts who came to work at his company, making great contributions in various research projects and receiving substantial bonuses.

This was originally just a cooperative relationship, an employer-employee relationship.

To speak of kindness, of righteousness—truly too base; if it were truly so, Jiang Ding would look down on himself, engaging in some feudal nonsense.

"Ah?"

"Great Sun senior……"

Tianhe Dadi and the other two were somewhat hesitant, clearly not fully understanding, yet also feeling genuine emotion.

"Fellow Daoists need say no more."

"A fine young man's ambition lies in all directions; this is as it should be."

Jiang Ding waved his hand, presenting three gifts long prepared—gifts that would be considered substantial even among Eight-Character Immortal Scripture ancient emperors—and laughed loudly: "Fellow Daoists, go on; you may entrust your company, stocks, factories, patents, etc., here to one or two disciples to manage; any person's lawful private property will be strictly protected!" "If in the future, as circumstances develop, we must become enemies, then there is no need for regret, no need to hold back; let us settle today's affection through life-and-death victory or defeat!"

"Hahaha!"

"Fellow Daoists, go on, and do not disgrace the Immortal Dao in your lifetime!"

Jiang Ding took out three cups of fine wine, one cup of juice, handed the three cups of wine to the three, then himself drank the juice in one gulp, appearing bold and unrestrained.

"……"

"……Great Sun senior, take care; we are leaving."

Tianhe Dadi and the other two momentarily smiled faintly, each downed the wine in their cup, then clasped hands, each transforming into a streak of escaping light, carrying with them the forbidden zones that had recovered somewhat over these years, flying toward the Zi Wei Ancient Realm.

The figures of the three gradually faded.

Behind them, the blue-clad youth's silhouette stood firm, remaining so until the three's silhouettes completely vanished, like a stone, stirring some emotion.

If one had not heard what he said.

"What a fine beast of burden, just leaving like this."

"What a fine beast of burden……" Jiang Ding sighed repeatedly, overwhelmed with sorrow, for he knew that although these three human forbidden-zone ancient emperors' departure would still allow future cooperation, it would never be as close as now.

However……

The blue-clad youth's face instantly broke into a smile, eyes sparkling as he gazed deep into the Great Dream Sword Realm; all his sighs vanished instantly.

There, accompanied by the dispersal of heavy thunderclouds, new Dao authorities appeared between heaven and earth.

"Swallow Ancient,"

You've evolved into a super ox and horse!
