Chapter 871: Boundary Domain Lunar Expedition Project

Such opportunities are rare.

Taking advantage of this moment when many seniors were present, Jiang Ding quickly asked the surrounding seniors what he should pay attention to after forming his Nascent Soul, and how he should walk his path in the future, so as to make his road to Soul Transformation more secure.

After thinking it over, Mie Ri Canghai Tianjun, Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun, and others, based on his situation, each gave their own detailed suggestions, involving divine soul, magic power, sword intent, Dao heart, fleet, and so on, which greatly benefited Jiang Ding.

"Senior Zhenjun Shenji, what is the current situation in the Boundary Domain?"

Jiang Ding asked, not having forgotten this matter.

The Horned Demon Imperial Clan.

And there is still this one unknown extraterritorial force in existence.

This made him uneasy even during his usual cultivation and seclusion, afraid that one day he would wake up and countless Horned Demon armies would appear in the sky, breaking through the Immortal Gate's defensive line and slaughtering their way into the mother star.

Many Canghai Tianjun who were chatting with friends nearby cast their gazes this way, clearly also very concerned about this matter.

"How is it?"

"That's actually not so easy to say."

"It can only be said that, for now, no major changes have appeared."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun pondered for a moment and said: "Ten years ago, when you entered the interior of the Central Array Spirit Computer's main unit for a physical examination.

The ambassadors of the Badaxian Sect stationed at the Immortal Gate simultaneously applied for a meeting, and merely a few minutes later, a delegation led personally by the Sect Masters of the Baweixian Sect, with specifications far more grand and a scale a hundred times that of any previous occasion, had already arrived at the Immortal Gate."

"A few minutes?"

Jiang Ding was stunned, suspecting Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun had misspoken.

"That's right, just a few minutes — to be precise, seven minutes, twenty-seven seconds, point three six."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun sighed with emotion: "The Xianzong Sect has always been sluggish in handling all kinds of political affairs. For any random matter, such as the visas of personnel at the Immortal Gate embassy, it routinely takes ten or twenty years, or even decades.

If it involves Soul Transformation cultivators, several hundred years are possible — the efficiency is terrifyingly low, and it has always been hated by the Immortal Gate's Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"But this time, they actually managed to compress such a massive-scale delegation operation down to seven minutes — crossing a vast star domain in that short time, appearing at the border of the Immortal Gate's territory, and then passing through layer upon layer of inspection before arriving at the Immortal Gate's mother star."

"However, the Xianzong Sect's madness didn't stop there."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun said: "In their delegation, the decision-maker was not the Sect Masters of the Xianzong Sect, but the avatars of Great Powers — avatars of Great Powers hidden in the dark!"

"Ding!"

At this instant, the voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer appeared in the ears of all Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun and Jiang Ding.

"You are coming into contact with first-level classified information. Please strictly observe confidentiality regulations."

At the same time as the prompt, the power of the Immortal Gate's Da Zhou was also attached, raising the level — even if they were captured by Void Refinement Great Powers in the future, they would be unable to obtain complete classified intelligence through soul-searching.

Jiang Ding's expression turned solemn.

"Eight avatars of Great Powers personally serving as envoys, so impatiently — such a scene has been rare throughout history, and has in fact never happened before."

"They obtained a meeting with Yuan, and negotiated for a long time in the Citizens' Hall, lasting continuously for ten years, and even until today it has not concluded."

"I estimate that even another ten years would probably be hard to conclude it."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun shook his head.

"Why is that?"

Jiang Ding sought instruction, learning the great trends of the Boundary Domain from his seniors so that he could grow.

"The differences between the Xianzong Sect and the Immortal Gate are too great."

"It's hard to reach an agreement."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun said: "What the Xianzong Sect wants is, in short, something above Void Refinement. For this, they can pay the price of many things — but can we agree?"

"Forget any Dao contracts, forget any alliances — these are all things that have already rotted away."

"If the Xianzong Sect produces someone above Void Refinement, we will be annihilated!"

"Is this something that can be conceded?"

"This is the Xianzong Sect's demand — what is our demand?"

"Void Refinement."

"Our demand is very simple: the Badaxian Sect opens up the Void Refinement inheritance, provides assistance for breaking through to Void Refinement, and lets us advance to Void Refinement."

"On this point, the Xianzong Sect simply cannot accept it."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun said helplessly: "We have repeatedly emphasized that even if Yuan advances to Void Refinement, before the Immortal Gate's new generation of forbidden nuclear weapons, the new generation of Void Refinement warships, and the new generation of Void Refinement army formation tactics come into being, we have no ability to annihilate them — at most we would only be somewhat stronger than now."

"But, they don't believe it."

"These people completely lack scientific literacy. Even though it is something very easy to calculate, they simply refuse to believe it."

"There's fundamentally no way to negotiate to a conclusion."

"Does that mean our strength is entirely consumed in internal friction, unable to form a combined force?"

Jiang Ding felt a chill run down his spine.

Those Horned Demon Imperial Sons called humans slaves and lowly races with every breath, inherent in their nature to fight among themselves.

Is this about to become reality?

"That's not the case — there is initial cooperation."

"To put it bluntly, if the Xianzong Sect destroyed the Immortal Gate, some citizens could still survive by becoming slaves. If the Immortal Gate destroyed the Xianzong Sect, they would even be treated somewhat better — at the very least, a large number of top-tier Immortal Dao technical personnel would be accepted, and it would not come to the extermination of an entire race."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun shook his head: "A few minutes after the eight ambassadors of the Weixian Sect met with Yuan, the Immortal Gate had already finalized some initial cooperative matters with the Badaxian Sect."

"The general plan is to establish a top-tier spatial research institution in the Boundary Domain, to reverse-engineer the Horned Demon race's Boundary Domain coordinates, and to gather together the four captured Imperial Sons and a large number of Horned Demon Imperial Guards."

"Then to assemble a large number of Soul Transformation cultivators and Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun from the Immortal Gate and the Badaxian Sect as research personnel."

"Moreover, the Great Powers of the Xianzong Sect have promised to personally participate."

"A Great Power said that if there is anything needed, just speak with him directly; there's no need for any hesitation."

"The words were rather tactful."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun spoke bluntly, not giving the Void Refinement Great Powers any face at all.

"My understanding is, we can basically treat them as oxen and horses—beasts of burden—and use them as hard labor. They generally won't turn hostile."

"Oxen and horses—beasts of burden!"

"Refinement Void–level beasts of burden!"

Jiang Ding swallowed a mouthful of saliva, somewhat drooling.

If he had a Refinement Void great power as a laborer, the research progress on the Great Sun Soul Transformation secret art and swordsmanship would be too embarrassing to speak of if it didn't increase by several hundred times.

"To speak frankly,"

"We've already mixed in some of our own problems—materials, breaking through to Refinement Void, exploring war weapons above the Star Sky Fortress, and your Great Sun Soul Transformation secret art—and fused them with the exploration of the realm-space, making them indistinguishable from one another."

"While reverse-engineering the coordinates of the Horned Demon realm-space, these problems will also be partially solved along the way."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun spoke naturally, without the slightest trace of embarrassment.

"Uh, can't they tell?"

Jiang Ding stared dumbfounded, his horizons broadened, full of boundless admiration for the seniors' flashy maneuvers.

"They might be able to tell, or they might not."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun said indifferently: "In terms of Immortal Dao R&D capability and computing power, the Immortal Gate is top-tier in the realm-space. They need something from us—take it or leave it."

"Besides, some techniques are genuinely things we need, and also needed for reverse-engineering the realm-space coordinates. The two exist simultaneously."

"Coincidentally, this kind of situation isn't rare."

"We can't help it either."

"You must have confidence in our scientific research planning level."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun said with a smile: "Many things are genuinely real and true. Top-tier Immortal Dao exploration projects, like the ancient moon-landing program, were inherently capable of driving breakthroughs across many fields of technology."

"This is common sense in the realm-space, something no one can change."
