Chapter 687: Jiang Canghai Tianjun Was Also Arrested and Taken to the Station

In the phone, Zhang Zhang Junsheng jumped up and down in excitement, cheering and rejoicing.

"My director is truly amazing!"

Jiang Ding praised him.

In the Immortal Sect, there are two most important abilities.

One is merit in battle, the ability to fight; the other is the ability to publish top-tier articles. Both can grant opportunities for Soul Transformation and earn respect from all.

It can be said that if one publishes articles well, advancing to Soul Transformation is merely a trivial matter.

One must know that the ability to publish articles and the ability to gain battle merit complement each other and do not conflict.

In human society, even a scientist who is a once-in-a-thousand-years or once-in-ten-thousand-years genius can be killed by a single pistol, let alone possess combat power.

Scientists in the Xiu Xian Shi Gao Jie are different.

Those who possess rich understanding of Immortal Dao science and can also pioneer new paths and bring forth the new have no weak strength.

If your strength is weak, you cannot even understand a single Soul Transformation-level article placed before you; a few spiritual texts combined can trigger natural spiritual energy fluctuations that shake you to death, let alone conduct research.

Even if their combat experience is somewhat lacking, they can sweep through the vast majority of cultivators relying on sheer hard strength.

Such figures, placed beyond the boundaries, are supreme strong ones who have reached the absolute peak and begun to carve out their own path.

The strong ones of the Immortal Sect are all like this.

They grasp both publishing articles and fighting battles; both hands are firm.

Their cultivation careers constantly rotate between the army, research institutions, and educational institutions.

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun, Senior Wanji Canghai Tianjun, Yuan, and Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun are all no exception.

Jiang Ding directly searched online for "Xiuzhenzhe Bao".

This is the Immortal Sect's most authoritative journal of Immortal Dao scholarship, published once every thirty years, though special circumstances allow for temporary supplementary issues.

Such situations have occurred many times in history, always in eras where major scientific achievements emerged successively.

When achievements of foundational Immortal Sect status appeared, such as the Jing-level Gong Fa, the Tian Gang Di Sha Sky-Orbit Composite Great Formation, the "Fledgling Eagle Ascension Art", and taboo nuclear weapons, the phenomenon of temporary supplementary issues of "Xiuzhenzhe Bao" lasting many years occurred.

In many people's minds, the frequent appearance of temporary supplementary issues of "Xiuzhenzhe Bao" symbolizes the progress of Immortal Dao technology in the Immortal Sect.

In recent years, such temporary supplementary issues have been relatively common.

He typed "Xiuzhenzhe Bao" and pressed Enter.

Instantly, without any advertisements obscuring the view, the latest issue of "Xiuzhenzhe Bao" appeared before him.

On its cover,

a youth in green robes held a long sword, gazing into the distance.

Though merely standing still, an invisible chill spread out; even just the image made one's scalp involuntarily prickle with cold.

Slightly behind the youth in green robes, Zhang Zhang Junsheng's face bloomed like a chrysanthemum in laughter; his smug showing-off was visible even through the screen, slightly dispelling some of the chill in one's heart.

To the right of the two figures, the four majestic black characters "Xiuzhenzhe Bao" stood proudly and splendidly.

"When was this photo of me taken?"

Jiang Ding was stunned, then flew into a rage.

"Who photoshopped this picture again?!"

This clearly did not match his temperament!

He was obviously a sunny, cute, and kind youth,

yet why was he photographed looking like a serial killer involved in major cases!

Just standing there, the crying of entire groups of kindergarten children would stop; in the scorching summer heat of thirty to forty degrees, no air conditioning would be needed—just bring people over and put them inside; throw them into water, and entire lakes would freeze over.

"I took it, what's wrong?"

Zhang Zhang Junsheng was puzzled.

"Oh, then it's fine."

Jiang Ding withdrew his hand from the sword hilt and said calmly.

"Alright, you look at it first; I am very busy now."

Zhang Zhang Junsheng complained: "I had just dispatched a hundred or eighty threads to visit friends when people from "Xiuzhenzhe Bao" called me to give a lecture at the Golden Palace, plus answer inquiries from the elders. Day after day, I'm so busy my feet never touch the ground, with not a single moment of free time; my divine soul's computing power is simply insufficient!"

"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore; my divine soul is throbbing painfully. I'm closing this thread now."

He was saying he was very troubled right now, then hung up the phone.

Jiang Ding was speechless.

While flying, he opened "Xiuzhenzhe Bao".

What met his eyes was indeed an article occupying the entire page.

"Immortal Art: The Sixteenth Power of the Prototype of the Jin Zhi Annihilation Sword" by Jiang Ding, Zhang Zhang Junsheng, Liu Liu Jiayu, and Zhang Cheng, first issue of the year of "Xiuzhenzhe Bao".

Liu Liu Jiayu is the head of the Immortal Sect Academy of Sciences, Zhenjun Shuling Master Dinghai Zhenjun; Zhang Cheng is Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun.

For major articles, some people prefer to sign their parents' given names, expressing their joy to their parents in distant times; others prefer to sign the Daoist titles representing their own honor. Each is different.

Among them, Zhenjun Shuling Master Dinghai Zhenjun possesses strong computational ability and excellent auxiliary capabilities; many people are willing to cooperate with her, including some Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun, such as Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun and Xiong Mao Hua Hua Lingling.

Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun was pulled in by a good brother from his own dormitory; this could add to his credentials and Soul Transformation battle merit.

This was not merely a nominal name.

Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun's academic ability and organizational ability are also very strong; otherwise, he could not have become the president of Qingfeng University, and he also did many things for this article.

Jiang Ding looked at the preface.

For this article, he only handled various experiments and resolved various sword Dao difficulties to produce results; he did not actually write the article.

Zhang Zhang Junsheng and Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun and the others were the same; it seemed there were dedicated doctoral students to write the text.

However, this was only partial.

Most articles cannot be written by Jin Dan cultivators; they cannot put pen to paper, cannot fully understand them, so Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun did it himself.

"... This is a sword- Dao article considered top-tier exploration even within the realm. Damn it, the Immortal Sect actually has top-tier frontier exploration articles on the sword- Dao."

"Although we cannot directly utilize it, there are many aspects regarding the application of Jin Zhi causality that offer significant reference, holding important significance for the exploration of Jin Zhi causality..."

Spending some time, Jiang Ding read the entire article once and understood it completely.

This was not difficult, because he was the one who created it.

"The prototype of the Sword that Extinguishes Jin..."

Jiang Ding felt a sudden flutter in his heart.

He looked at his fingers and unconsciously began to circulate the sword technique.

A wisp of golden light appeared.

Boom!

In an instant,

the spiritual energy of heaven and earth grew turbulent, wind and clouds changed color, dark clouds rolled, lightning flashed and thunder roared; formless and intangible killing intent spread throughout heaven and earth, unable to be blocked even by arrays.

Within hundreds of kilometers, all cultivators, whether at Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Jin Dan, or Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun stages, were all terrified.

"Enemy attack..."

Multiple Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun roared, wanting to resist, but it was futile; before their eyes, everything turned pitch black, their divine sense became dim, and they briefly lost perception of the outside world.

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators and mortals instantly fell into a trance.

Their bodies stiffened, their brains went blank for a brief moment, and they could not resist in the slightest.

"Warning!"

"Warning!"

"Unauthorized spell fluctuations detected. Stop immediately, stop immediately!"

The Central Array Spirit Computer's shrill alarm sounded.

At the same time, a powerful pressure appeared, forcibly cutting off the casting of the spell prototype and waking up the large number of affected cultivators.

They looked at their surrounding companions in terror, pressing the alarm buttons in their hands continuously without stopping.

"Sorry, sorry."

Jiang Ding woke as if from a dream.

Just now, he had unconsciously used the sword technique prototype, but it was cut off halfway because it was merely a very incomplete prototype, and currently lacked the ability to be cast outside the laboratory.

"Ding!"

The Central Array Spirit Computer's voice sounded.

"... According to Article 1458 of the Immortal Sect's Legal and Security Code, Citizen 5227... 89, Jiang Ding, used a large-scale destructive spell in a public place without permission, affecting hundreds of thousands of citizens. Evidence is conclusive. No serious consequences were caused. It is recommended to sentence you to three years of fixed-term imprisonment. If you have objections, please apply for administrative reconsideration."

"If you have no objections, please turn yourself in at the Immortal Sect Prison within one year."

"I really wasn't..."

"... No objections."

Jiang Ding felt like crying but had no tears.
