Chapter 2746: Immortal Ascension Is Within Sight

The time of the Fifth Golden Great Age settled into calm.

Future cultivators from the Seventh Golden Great Age occupied this place, exterminated every cultivator who defied the principles of heaven and earth, then liberated all oppressed mortal-root cultivators, mortals and demons.

These future cultivators demanded nothing; after stabilizing order, they preached the Dao, cultivated a large number of mid- and low-level cultivators to assist in immortal Dao scientific research, then resumed production, allowing this already extremely barren Wu Jin Kong Kong to slowly recover, and the Heavenly Dao consequently flourished greatly.

Wu Jin Kong Kong thus quickly forgot the Yan Fa Xian Zun.

The blood rain, which in calculations would have lasted a million years, vanished without a trace in just tens of thousands of years; the entire Wu Jin Kong Kong presented a busy yet orderly appearance, like a supermassive immortal Dao machine, with trillion-trillion gears meshing precisely, not a single error.

Under these circumstances, all immortal Dao wisdom of the Fifth Golden Great Age was swiftly absorbed by the Seventh Golden Great Age.

In the blink of an eye, over two hundred and fifty thousand years passed.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang had always sat cross-legged before the immortal Dao black hole formed from the remains of Yan Fa Xian Zun, and after over two hundred and fifty thousand years, finally completed the analysis of much immortal Dao wisdom regarding defying heaven and earth.

In an instant, countless inspirations emerged; the countless problems that had long bottlenecked the Seventh Golden Great Age instantly dissolved, and the foundation of immortal Dao surged upward.

Though the Fifth Golden Great Age was weak, it was still a complete Golden Great Age, and the immortal Dao wisdom accumulated within it was an immeasurable treasure!

"Indeed,"

"The Dao of defying heaven and earth entered its bottleneck early; this is an early path of fierce contention, far stronger in its early stages than those rigid, accumulation-based paths, quickly gaining an early advantage, rolling like a snowball to defeat all paths, supreme and alone."

"Unfortunately, this path has no future."

Jiang Ding's eyes flickered with black and white light, within which scene after scene appeared—exactly the entire process of the development of the Dao of defying heaven and earth.

This is undoubtedly a very powerful path.

Only those few words "no future" could be spoken by one qualified to utter the two-character immortal scripture of the ancient emperor.

Jiang Ding saw that Yan Fa Xian Zun, in the later stages of seeking the Dao, had continually tried to swallow the sun, moon, and stars, to defy the entire universe's principles of heaven and earth and achieve immortality instantly, but had immediately failed.

There was no luck or possibility; immediate failure.

He could not even completely devour a Minor Thousand World; there were always various residues that could not be digested, could not be swallowed—this is how this era's one after another desolate great thousand worlds and minor thousand worlds came to be.

Merely desolation; the main body of the great thousand world remained sufficient to stay intact forever.

In the final period of his life, Yan Fa Xian Zun said he had "already defied three-tenths of the principles of heaven and earth"; now it appears this was mere boastful exaggeration, or foolishness.

"To let the life of a great thousand world completely vanish, to turn it utterly into a desert with not a trace of spiritual energy, and then think one has swallowed three-tenths of a world?"

"That's rather laughable."

Jiang Dingleng snorted coldly: "These superficialities—do they not know that what occupies one percent of the world is not? Life and spiritual energy are not the main body of a world."

"The path of the Dao of defying heaven and earth is even narrower than what this sovereign desires."

Thus far, the analysis of the Dao of defying heaven and earth is complete; what remains is to analyze the various Dao-achieving methods, special rules, and special structures of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, minerals, spiritual energy, flora and fauna, etc., that have appeared in the achievements of this Golden Great Age.

These fundamental immortal Dao data are very useful for Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's path.

One can more clearly comprehend the entire heaven-earth universe.

However, the deeper the exploration and cognition, the more Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang feels that Wu Jin Kong Kong holds too many unsolved mysteries.

Perhaps it is forever impossible to possess a hundred percent probability of becoming an immortal.

For without becoming immortal, one can never fully comprehend the universe, analyze the universe!

This is the same paradox as the Dao of defying heaven and earth: to become immortal by the fact of becoming immortal—truly impossible to achieve.

"However,"

"There are still superior and inferior paths."

"This sovereign can never achieve a hundred percent probability of becoming immortal, but can approach this point infinitely……"

Jiang Ding murmured.

He looked toward the Tai Shang Da Ri Yuan Shi Gu Lu, which had undergone many changes after swallowing the immortal Dao wisdom of the Fifth Golden Great Age's Dao of defying heaven and earth.

Still the two-character Gu Lu, describing the entire universe with an immortal Dao formula of two characters, unchanged.

But the strokes of these two characters had been greatly simplified; the accumulated immortal Dao wisdom of the Fifth Golden Great Age let him verify many things, allowing the Yuan Shi Gu Lu to rise again.

Estimating the probability of becoming immortal, likewise.

"Probability of becoming immortal, forty-one percent……"

"Still far short."

Jiang Ding sighed: "If the probability of becoming immortal cannot reach ninety-nine point nine, then perhaps it is erroneous—the ultimate leap to immortality demands too high a price."

"In many cases, randomness is not randomness, but a dead end limited by one's own cognition, unknown to oneself."

The Tai Shang Da Ri Yuan Shi Gu Lu grew stronger.

Not only Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, but many forbidden-zone ancient emperors, many Feathered Ascension Emperor-level cultivators—such as the Tai Yang Gu Huang, who in this era found the exploration of the Tai Yang Great Dao; the Shui Huang Gu Huang, who in this era absorbed the immortal Dao wisdom of the Xuan Shui Great Dao; the Jiu Ye Jian Huang, who in this era accumulated the immortal Dao wisdom of the Shen Hun Great Dao—experienced breakthroughs in the Great Dao.

The central array spirit computer of the immortal sect absorbed from this era various immortal Dao wisdom accumulations of the Yun Dao Great Dao……

Many strong ones of the Seventh Golden Great Age are rapidly growing stronger; the overall military formation strength is increasing; if there is another encounter, facing an enemy like Yan Fa Xian Zun, the immortal dynasty fleet might not again allow such an enemy to escape successfully, letting the army spirit and military formation suffer shame.

The enhancement of the immortal dynasty's overall strength accelerated the digestion of the Fifth Golden Great Age's immortal Dao wisdom.

In just five hundred thousand years, the Fifth Golden Great Age had little value left for the immortal dynasty's strong ones; the General Staff issued an order to withdraw back to the present world, and the various strong ones of the immortal dynasty are rapidly contracting, transferring the authority of Wu Jin Kong Kong to the surviving mortal-root cultivators of the Fifth Golden Great Age.

Meanwhile, in the dimension of time, warfare grew ever more brutal, with many masters of Golden Great Ages vanishing silently and without trace.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang gazed at the high dimension of time; he saw the master of the time great Dao of the Ninth Golden Great Age make contact with a master of a Golden Great Age, and then that master's silhouette vanished silently and without trace; he further saw, in the era of the Sixth Golden Great Age, the source of the Emperor-level Dao-achieving method, that master of a Golden Great Age tearing a rift in a high-dimensional time silhouette……

Many masters of the time great Dao, terrifyingly strong.

The slaughter in the time dimension reached utter extremity.

Such a sight truly lets one become intoxicated without end.

"Perhaps,"

"If I merely endure two or three more wars, this sovereign can slay all strong enemies in the time dimension and leap to immortality in one bound?"

Jiang Ding thought lightly.
