Chapter 2721

The entire palace was filled with joyous atmosphere.

The Xian Dynasty opened its treasury wide, allowing numerous ancient emperors, Feathered Ascension Realm cultivators, and Imperial Realm cultivators to take what they needed—of course, according to merit, not unlimited, but still a great opportunity.

It can be said that in this highly developed immortal Dao civilization of the Earth Immortal and False Immortal realms, most people breaking through a minor realm once should pose no problem.

The number of cultivators in deep slumber who have broken through a major realm should also be enormous.

"Sword Lord!"

"Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories ten thousand victories!"

At the moment the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang finished speaking, numerous ancient emperors and Imperial Realm cultivators shouted excitedly, unable to suppress their inner agitation.

"This..."

"We, in the present age, have achieved no measurable merit; we fear we would be unworthy to receive..."

One Imperial Realm cultivator said this.

"A universal welfare communal meal is unfeasible."

"Lacking tempering, directly distributing resources will cause problems with the Dao heart..." said another Feathered Ascension Realm cultivator from an immortal sect.

This was not just one or two people, but a large batch of cultivators in deep slumber who felt this way—those with deep affection for the Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Dynasty, who regarded the dynasty as home and possessed a sense of ownership.

The Xian Dynasty, spanning tens of billions of years, has precisely such a vast number of die-hard loyalists.

These people's words were likewise heard by the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, who felt greatly comforted in his heart.

"Someone said they have achieved no measurable merit?"

"That is not objective."

Jiang Ding spoke solemnly: "The Xian Dynasty's current splendid immortal Dao civilization—where do its flourishing immortal Dao science and technology come from? They accumulated step by step through history, until today they broke through; the immortal Dao civilization of the Wu Jin Kong Kong was forged by the efforts of generation after generation of outstanding individuals—precisely because of you all."

"You are all meritorious servants; the Wu Jin Kong Kong is mine and yours together—the Wu Jin Kong Kong!"

"Naturally, those who speak with the wisdom of elders are also correct: the communal meal is unfeasible; aside from basic support, fortuitous opportunities, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, etc., should all be obtainable at greatly reduced prices through merit, and one may also participate in contemporary immortal Dao scientific research, industrial and agricultural production, in exchange."

"No matter the method or channel, the difficulty of acquisition will be reduced by tens to hundreds of times."

"Thus, do you, sirs, have any further suggestions?"

In the immortal Dao, the strong require more resources and ought to enjoy more—this is indeed an objective reality and law; the suggestions of many cultivators in deep slumber are very correct. "The Sword Lord is wise!"

One ancient emperor after another, Imperial Realm cultivators, spoke solemnly.

"Hahaha!"

"Then let us disperse; I will not hinder you fellow cultivators from cultivating and accepting new inheritances."

"If you have any doubts, you may directly ask me!"

Jiang Ding laughed heartily, revealing a hint of mischief: "Perhaps you fellow cultivators do not know, the soul's computational power of Earth Immortals far surpasses that of bygone eras; simultaneously answering the questions of many fellow cultivators is no problem—do not worry that I will grow weary, for that would be to greatly underestimate me!"

"Hahaha..."

"Sword Lord, you need not worry that we will be polite and restrained!"

Numerous ancient emperors and Imperial Realm cultivators also laughed.

Thereafter, the people no longer stood on ceremony, departed spontaneously, walked in pairs or threes, discussing as they went; most headed toward the Tian Shu Library, while a few went beyond the Tian Shu, presumably due to lingering affection for their sect, family, clan, or homeland—first return home, then speak.

This is human nature.

The Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang was likewise. Deep within the Tian Shu.

As Jiang Ding entered, from afar, the Fusang Empress, Gong Caiyu, Yue Yin Gu Huang, Lu, and a large batch of revived cultivators looked over and greeted him.

These are all those who have personal feelings toward the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.

For these cultivators, such as Yuan Lai, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang is also the only cultivator toward whom he harbors personal feelings, for his contemporaries have all already vanished.

The people did not recall any past great events; they merely gathered around a table to eat and drink, chatting idly about various trifles.

This ordinary mortal warmth—how long has it been since they last experienced it?

The Wu Jin Kong Kong became much livelier with the revival of vast numbers of cultivators in deep slumber.

Time flowed slowly.

Unnoticed, millions of years passed.

Over these millions of years, nearly every day a Lei Jie appeared—those breaking through realms: Imperial Realm cultivators, Feathered Ascension cultivators, ancient emperors, forbidden-zone ancient emperors; in this near-immortal realm environment and inheritance, these outstanding individuals of past ages finally revealed their sharpness.

One powerful cultivator after another was born, then continued to immerse themselves in immortal Dao research and industrial production, pushing the near-immortal realm civilization forward again, breaking through anew at the peak. In the Tian Shu, Fusang was reporting to the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.

"Your Majesty,"

"As of now, the nine last forbidden-zone ancient emperors, including the Taiyang Ancient Emperor, have all completed the three-character immortal scripture breakthrough and are attempting the two-character immortal scripture breakthrough... of course, this is a very good ideal."

"The existence of these nine three-character immortal scripture ancient emperors will undoubtedly be a major variable in the long river of myriad ages!"

Fusang spoke, greatly exhilarated.

Know that, according to current information, some masters of the golden ages merely lived eight lifetimes—equivalent to the height of the three-character immortal scripture.

Whereas the Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Dynasty possesses a full nine three-character immortal scripture ancient emperors!

Thus, who could compare with them?

This does not even count the seven-time Feathered Ascension Realm cultivators of the level of weak three-character immortal scripture ancient emperors.

The birth of these three-character immortal scripture ancient emperors and seven-time Feathered Ascension Realm cultivators is truly no easy feat, encompassing the strongest outstanding individuals throughout the long river of myriad ages, and yet, when the golden ages appeared, there was no large-scale bloody slaughter—according to reason, during the slaughter of the golden ages, the vast majority of ancient emperors would perish; this is inevitable, leaving only the strongest living beings to be decided.

The Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang avoided such a massacre, preserving numerous heavenly talents of the ages—truly no easy feat.

Moreover, do you think preserving these heavenly talents of the ages will ultimately give birth to one after another three-character and four-character immortal scripture ancient emperors? How naive!

In reality, the existence of these myriad heavenly talent ancient emperors will cause resources and heavenly Dao fate to be insufficiently concentrated, instead making the strongest beings of the golden ages even weaker—this is rather a terrifying negative effect!

Population dividend, heavenly talent dividend—this is not something you can achieve merely by gathering people together; this is a childish notion.

Only by establishing an efficient immortal Dao research system, incorporating these heavenly talents of the ages and utilizing them, can one erupt with a Dao research efficiency far surpassing that of a single master of the golden ages—here, demands are made on the heavenly talent's organizational ability, collaborative research ability, and educational ability that could be called immortal-level harsh and perverse requirements!

Without such immortal-level talent, forcibly imitating, Dong Shi imitating Xi Shi, would only yield a weak master of the golden ages.

Even speaking of the master of the Golden Great Age, in the brutal slaughter of the Golden Great Age, dying young is entirely possible.

Every master of the Golden Great Age walks a unique path, suited to themselves; forcibly imitating and learning from others only leads to mediocrity, unable to reach one's original height.
