Chapter 2677

Wu Jin Kong Kong has finally entered an era of peace!

Everyone sensed that this peace would last for a considerable length of time, and would no longer erupt in brutal wars from time to time as it had in recent years.

One by one, the ancient emperors of the Eight Characters Immortal Classic forbidden zones departed alone, their figures solitary and scattered, leaving behind their troops.

"All are but ants..."

Jiang Ding quietly watched the backs of the emperors, sighing softly in his heart.

To bring all the forbidden zone ancient emperors under one's command is difficult to achieve, for both new and old emperors are not beings willing to submit, even if they were like ordinary ancient emperors working, cultivating, and studying in the Tai Shang Da Ri domain—it would not do, for they are too proud.

Forcible control can be achieved, but it is estimated that more than half would die.

This is unnecessary, for the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang has little desire for power and influence; his greatest goal is not to reign supreme alone, but to find the greatest number and highest quality of oxen and horses to work for himself.

Furthermore, to place all variables under one's control is actually detrimental to immortal dao research and development.

A highly centralized grand system, controlling all variables and all human and material resources, is very useful for replicating construction of known immortal dao knowledge, but it has some adverse effects on exploring the unknown, necessitating tolerance for some systems and paths different from one's own.

And complete peace is also not right; one should allow contention and slaughter among the forbidden zone emperors, as long as the bottom line that ancient emperor-level beings do not die is not violated.

Variables, variables, variables—this is precisely why the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang has maintained the current order of Wu Jin Kong Kong, rather than placing everyone under strict control.

Indeed, the immortal dao today is full of the unknown, and no one knows where the future path lies.

The war has ended!

The already dormant Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Chao has mobilized once again; ancient emperors who had just entered slumber and cultivators of the Emperor Realm have returned, and previously dismantled core immortal dao industrial facilities have been reinstalled, restoring immortal dao productivity.

The entire Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Chao has become lively once more.

Of course, immortal dao industry is extremely complex and vast; the losses from this production halt remain enormous, and restoring peak output will require at least tens of thousands of years, the losses being truly severe, yet compared to the success of capturing all forbidden zone ancient emperors, this cost is negligible.

Buzz!

Buzzing...

The Yue Yin Gu Huang, Wan Chong Shan Gu Huang, Qing Teng Gu Huang, Zhu Que Gu Huang, and others awoke one by one, rushing back to the Tai Shang Da Ri Tian Shu at the fastest speed, their faces filled with extreme fervor, no longer harboring the slightest worry about their future slumber.

Moreover, their confidence in the cultivation of the Zhen Yuan Ren Shen Guo Shu and other ancient emperor longevity opportunities instantly increased by several times or more.

"Pay respects!"

"Pay respects, Sword Master!" one ancient emperor after another hurried to the blue-clad youth, bowed deeply, and shouted loudly.

Invincible One!

Invincible One of Wu Jin Kong Kong!

No longer merely the strongest in the starry sky, but the supreme ruler of all things—this is the current Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, who possesses the entirety of Wu Jin Kong Kong, and as cultivators deeply bound to the Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Dao system, they will inevitably gain immense benefits in the current trend.

It is now inevitable that the Nine Characters Immortal Classic forbidden zone ancient emperors will live out their third life!

After a little deduction, the many ancient emperors immediately concluded that their probability of obtaining longevity opportunities had increased by several times, even tenfold, and the chance of advancing to forbidden zone ancient emperor status had similarly increased by several times.

How could one not feel their blood surge with excitement when faced with these staggering, one-after-another immense benefits?

"Hahaha!"

"Please rise, fellow Daoists!"

Jiang Ding laughed heartily, pointed with his finger, and bestowed volumes of the "Mie Fa Tai Yang Xian Jing" upon the many ancient emperors, saying: "There is much good news—indeed, as we once speculated in our Dao discussions, once one advances to the Seven Characters Immortal Classic, the Zhen Yuan Ren Shen Guo Shu project, forbidden zone immortal classic engineering, and alternative path to immortality research will instantly see numerous major breakthroughs, and many difficult problems will be readily solved."

"Really?"

The Wan Lu Gu Huang and others felt joy in their hearts and hurried to look. For ancient emperors like them, dwelling in the forbidden zone, the focus has always been on longevity!

For they have only hundreds of thousands of years of lifespan left; if delayed further, they will truly exhaust their lifespan and die.

The Zhen Yuan Ren Shen Guo Shu project, painstakingly researched for hundreds of thousands of years, had until recently been merely a possibility, perhaps even just a phrase, with no definite timeline—estimated to require at least twenty million years to succeed and produce the first ancient emperor-level longevity fruit.

Now, this research progress bar has suddenly leapt forward by a large margin, requiring at most ten million years to give birth to the first ancient emperor-level longevity fruit.

This possibility is already quite good.

The emperors all possess extremely profound techniques for slumber and longevity, and can even linger in the Ri Da forbidden zone to further extend their slumber time—there is no problem in this regard.

This means that many ancient emperors have a very great chance of obtaining ancient emperor-level longevity fruits!

Of course, this is not free; it requires merit from much research, merit from industrial work, and in the Tai Shang Da Ri domain, nothing is free—including this Seven Characters Immortal Classic, although it sometimes comes with considerable discounts.

"And there is the forbidden zone plan..."

An ancient emperor born with seven orifices felt his heart surge.

This is the Qi Ling Gu Huang, an ancient emperor who attained the Dao from innate stone orifices among sentient beings, walking the path of the Metal Grand Dao, and the existence of the Nineteen Characters Immortal Classic.

The Ten-plus Characters Immortal Classic ancient emperors—there is a certain number of such ancient emperors among the emperors. In talent, they cannot compare with the Shi Xu Gu Huang, Yue Yin Gu Huang, etc., who are certain to become forbidden zone ancient emperors of the Ten Characters Immortal Classic in the Golden Great Age, yet they surpass many dozens-of-characters Immortal Classic ancient emperors and possess some possibility of advancing to forbidden zone ancient emperor status.

For this reason, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang has launched the forbidden zone plan!

This is a targeted support plan to help many ancient emperors enter the forbidden zone, precisely because of these policies, the vast majority of ancient emperors in Wu Jin Kong Kong have gathered here.

In past research on the forbidden zone plan, numerous unsolvable problems emerged, like a heavenly chasm.

Many ancient emperors, in despair, even believed that only after hundreds of millions of years, when immortal dao technology achieves a great breakthrough, could the forbidden zone plan be further perfected, giving them a chance to live out their third life.

But now, it seems that in an instant, after the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang broke through to the Seven Characters Immortal Classic, these heavenly-chasm-like difficulties were instantly resolved!

Many ancient emperors at this moment saw hope of breaking through to the Nine Characters Immortal Classic.

A corner of the splendid immortal dao civilization of Wu Jin Kong Kong has finally unfolded its curtain in this era; everyone knows that the immortal dao of Wu Jin Kong Kong will enter a super-high-speed development phase, benefiting all sentient beings.

"Fellow Daoists, strive onward."

"The Golden Great Age is vast indeed, and far from reaching its limit; let us together draw near to the path of the immortals, and behold the scenery of the immortal realm."

Jiang Ding spoke sincerely.
