Chapter 648: What Is the Soul Transformation Strategy?

Buzzing discussion, bickering voices.

After Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun left, the lecture session did not stop; it formed several core groups led by Li Hai Zhen, Ding Hai Master Dinghai Zhenjun, Lie Xing Master Dinghai Zhenjun, and others, who continued the discussion.

Everyone felt that, after a year of continuous high-intensity thinking, they had not yet grown weary and could still grind on, continuing to struggle.

One question after another was thrown out, one problem after another was solved, one difficulty after another was temporarily set aside; the atmosphere was in full swing, everyone basking in the ocean of knowledge, different sparks of wisdom colliding.

Here, the progress and transformation in Immortal Dao technology in a single hour exceeded what countless talents of a Soul Transformation sect could accumulate in a hundred years.

"Great Sun Sword Son, come here a moment. This structure on the remnant chapter of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion's sword Dao Gong Fa, *Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Sword Scripture*…"

From time to time, Jiang Ding was also beckoned here and there, all of them involving the direction of the Sword Dao.

This was an absolute weak point in the Immortal Sect; in the past, such problems were always set aside, or bypassed and replaced by other techniques. But now, with a single call, someone would immediately come over to solve it.

"Sure!"

Jiang Ding scampered over eagerly.

To be honest, his Immortal Dao scientific literacy was on the low side among the Immortal Sect's Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun; in the past, when attending various academic conferences, he always played the supporting role for the various Master Dinghai Zhenjun.

However, sword Dao was an exception.

For the time being, even Zhang Zhang Junsheng was far inferior to him; he was the sword Dao discipline leader in name and reality, and the first person everyone thought of when they had needs in this area.

There were many benefits.

First, being able to frequently discuss the Immortal Dao with the various Master Dinghai Zhenjun seniors in the Immortal Sect had a significant effect on accumulating his Immortal Dao foundation.

Secondly, if it was a profit-making project, there would also be dividends in library points, spirit stones, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and so on. The Master Dinghai Zhenjun were all seniors and naturally would not cheat him out of his money.

Of course, Jiang Ding did not care much about this.

The former alone was enough to keep him endlessly delighted.

Before he knew it, another year had passed.

While Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun was miserably undergoing reform through labor in prison, the Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun continued their heated discussion, inspiration constantly surging, showing no sign of subsiding.

Jiang Ding was beginning to flag.

Participating in academic conferences for two consecutive years was far too long for him, a Jin Dan cultivator. He left a divine sense thread here, preparing to find a time to slip away.

"What do you think Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun's Soul Transformation strategy is?"

Just as he was about to leave, the casual chat of a Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun piqued his interest.

Soul Transformation strategy.

The Immortal Sect's support policy for newly advanced Soul Transformation cultivators usually mainly referenced the intentions of the newly advanced Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun, implementing a series of related policies that lasted for a hundred years.

After a hundred years, it was not canceled, but the strong policy support was gone; whether it could continue depended mainly on the vitality shown by the Soul Transformation strategy, and they no longer interfered.

Historically, the influence of many Soul Transformation strategies persisted to this day, existing in every aspect of the Immortal Sect.

"It's still early. The Soul Transformation strategy involves every aspect; it can't be made in less than ten years."

Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou University Principal Lie Xing Master Dinghai Zhenjun said casually.

"I guess it should be an industrial support policy for yang-attribute materials, related to the *Divine Light Myriad Radiance Scripture*. The Gong Fa that Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun cultivates is exactly this."

Li Hai Zhen guessed.

She was the president of the Immortal Sect Academy of Sciences, of ordinary appearance, with extremely profound attainments in array spirit research; the ship spirit of the super warship Great Sun was born from her and her colleagues' hands.

"Over the past few decades, those who bought yang-attribute material industry stocks are probably going to make a fortune."

A Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun said enviously.

He had been rather strapped for cash these past few years, busy with cultivation, and had not participated much in investment and financial matters.

"Stocks…"

Jiang Ding's heart stirred slightly.

Actually, he had also had this idea in his early years. He was very poor then, could barely afford sword-forging materials, and could only get by with loans. Later, when he became better off, his interest faded.

Because this could not increase the Immortal Sect's overall wealth; it could only be considered an internal flow and transfer.

"Sigh."

"There's simply not much!"

Zhang Zhang Junsheng lamented: "These people are all shrewd as ghosts. Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun's reputation was too great back then; the vast majority of people had confidence in him. With no information gap, there's no way to earn much money."

"Nonsense!"

Yun Gong Master Dinghai Zhenjun laughed and scolded: "Among the peak Nascent Soul cultivators who could seize the opportunity for Soul Transformation in the Immortal Sect's intense internal competition and rank near the top, which one is not a momentary prodigy of the realm? There's a seventy or eighty percent chance at least. How much arbitrage do you still want to make?"

"That's true too."

Zhang Zhang Junsheng sighed.

Anyone playing stocks did not want to get rich overnight, but things always went against their wishes.

"Could it be a military Soul Transformation strategy?"

"Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun is very warlike."

Another Nascent Soul spoke up. She was Yun Gong Master Dinghai Zhenjun Nan Nan Yunqi, a fifth-rank warship designer at Gang Chuan Bo Zhong. She was born graceful and elegant, wearing a form-fitting palace dress that revealed her beautiful figure, and said with a sudden inspiration.

If war broke out again, their military industry would undoubtedly usher in great development, perfectly aligning with the Soul Transformation path of "research more, think more, experience more" spoken of by Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun.

"Not very likely."

Ding Hai Master Dinghai Zhenjun shook his head: "Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun is Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun's junior, comrade-in-arms, and former subordinate. Their political views are highly consistent. It was already implemented back then, and great results were achieved."

"Now, the timing is not right."

"Even if forcibly implemented, the resistance would be great. Without a clear opportunity for war, even if pushed by a Soul Transformation strategy, the Immortal Sect would not launch a war; it would only waste this opportunity in vain."

"I estimate it should be developing some special materials needed for cultivating Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun's Gong Fa, supporting one or two high-end, sophisticated yang-attribute materials, Gong Fa, and spell enterprises. Moreover, Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun is not interested in business, so he should bring in a large amount of social capital to participate."

He speculated based on his own political literacy.

"I still think the military aspect is more likely…"

Another Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun disagreed.

Jiang Ding took advantage of the Master Dinghai Zhenjun discussing matters, left behind a divine sense thread, and slipped away first.

……

The riddled-with-holes Silver Sky Island.

A three-thousand-meter-tall Sun Divine Tree blazed with resplendent light, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the great sun. A youth in blue sat cross-legged beneath the tree, gazing at the distant sea of clouds, with no heart for cultivation.

He had not realized this before.

When he truly left behind the bustling, busy crowd, in an instant, an invisible loneliness, thread by thread, seeped into every corner of his heart from the outside, leaving no gap untouched.

His heart ached with sourness, lost and at a loss.

"Mom."

Jiang Ding murmured.

"From now on, on weekends, at month's end, where can I still go?"

Looking all around, between heaven and earth, there was not a single place that could be called home.

Where he cultivated was the school dormitory.

The home in the old residential compound of Rongcheng had become an empty house, with no one living in it, no longer able to hold any emotional attachment.

All alone, he stood firm between the vast heaven and earth.

"On weekends, at month's end, I'll just stay at Clear Breeze University."

"There are many, many friends here, Dao companions; without going out, I can discuss the Dao of immortals, study science, and advance my cultivation."

Jiang Ding closed his eyes, gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the great sun, and entered into cultivation.
