Chapter 872: The Nine Spirit Realm Where Mad Dogs Gather

"This top-tier realm space laboratory has been given naming rights by the immortal sect, named the Nine Spirit Realm Space Moon-Exploration Project."

"When you have time in the future, go there to train, as an apprentice, lend a hand, and you'll be exposed to all kinds of top-tier immortal-path technological research of the realm. It'll be very beneficial for your Dao path."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun suggested, then asked: "Do you know the Nine Spirit Realm?"

"I don't."

Jiang Ding said honestly.

"Then learn about it now, so that when you go out later, you won't even know the name of our realm."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun drew over a cup of wine from Mieri Canghai Tianjun, who was secretly drinking, moistened his lips, drank it down in one gulp, and continued: "The Nine Spirit Realm is named from very ancient times, when the Sun Moon Sword Pavilion still existed. The Jiudaxian Sect completed their conquest of this realm and named it, and the immortal sect has continued using the name."

"No one used it before, because apart from the very few cultivators brought by spatial turbulence, our realm has basically had no contact with outsiders."

"This top-tier realm laboratory, the Nine Spirit Space Moon-Exploration Laboratory, has already produced many preliminary results."

"It's estimated that in another ten or twenty years, we'll be able to unlock the storage space of the Horned Demon Imperial Son without damage, and understand this race's research approach to prohibitions. The surface-layer memories of the soul of the four captured Imperial Sons can already be read."

"We've been able to fully confirm that what we're facing is an unfamiliar realm, called Jiao Jiao Mingyu, ruled by the Horned Demon Imperial Race."

"There's also some progress on the research of the Imperial Weapon prototype of the Horned Demon Imperial Son. We've named the divine gold contained within it as Blood Void Heaven Nether Gold.

This is a kind of inherited divine gold that can greatly strengthen and nurture qi and blood, and cultivate space. Compared to the sect's Po Fa Xian Jin, it seems more suitable for condensing a Void Refinement Space prototype."

"Jiang Ding, can you give me some? I'll trade Soul Transformation battle merits and Po Fa Xian Jin for it."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun shifted his tone and asked: "My daughter needs to use it; the battle merits she was allocated aren't enough."

"No problem,"

"however much you need, Senior, I'll give it."

Jiang Ding agreed in one breath, and said boldly: "As for the price, that's not necessary. Just help me out with the Great Sun Soul Transformation Secret Art."

"As you know, for me, no matter how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or fortuitous encounters, none are as important as this."

"This…"

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun had originally wanted to refuse.

He was not the sort of person willing to take advantage of a junior.

Hearing the last sentence, he thought it over and agreed, and no longer fussed with polite refusals.

"Fine, that's settled."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun agreed.

"In short, the lineup of the Nine Spirit Space Moon-Exploration Laboratory is extremely luxurious, and massive amounts of immortal-path scientific research results are being produced from it like flowing water."

He sighed.

"One could say that the progress of realm immortal-path technology over the past hundred years doesn't match what it achieves in a single year now."

"Lastly,"

"the second cooperation reached between the immortal sect and the Badaxian Sect is the search for possible spatial intersection nodes between realms."

"We suspect that the Nine Spirit Realm and the Horned Demon's Jiao Jiao Mingyu moved during the cosmic tides, causing an intersection, or producing some hidden spatial passages."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun said solemnly: "Ten years ago, the immortal sect fleet led by Senior Wanji Canghai Tianjun already set out, joined by eight great powers, along with a large number of immortal sect Void Refinement Dao soldiers, frantically searching everywhere in the realm, collecting data on realm spatial changes, hoping to find the hidden spatial passages, or spatial weak points, one step ahead of the Horned Demon race, and thereby firmly control them in hand."

"This is equally important to the immortal sect, a matter of life and death."

"If we are unwilling to see the Badaxian Sect break through above Void Refinement, when necessary, we'll directly blast this possible spatial passage apart, seizing the innate initiative."

"That's all of it."

"The immortal sect and the Badaxian Sect have great differences, neither willing to yield to the other, but there is also partial cooperation. At the very least, there is a consensus on keeping the enemy outside the realm, not letting the fires of war burn into our own domain."

"When the future war truly arrives, whether it will be cooperation, or an even more intense round of civil war, I cannot see clearly."

"Many thanks."

"Thank you, Senior, for your guidance."

Jiang Ding bowed in thanks, then asked: "Senior, I plan to go collect the Dayang Dayang Tianchi in a while. May I ask if there are any difficulties in this regard? Will the Badaxian Sect cause trouble?"

The Dayang Dayang Tianchi is his.

This isn't shamelessness; the Moon Spirit of the Dayang Dayang Tianchi recognizes him.

Jiang Ding can mobilize and control all the formations of the entire Dayang Dayang Tianchi, even make it move through the starry sky.

The Dayang Dayang Tianchi at its peak is equivalent to a Void Refinement fortress; the cradle of the Great Sun Sword Son is enough to sweep across most places in the realm, making even Void Refinement great powers wary.

The current situation is that the Dayang Dayang Tianchi was smashed to pieces by the immortal sect and the Badaxian Sect, with only a small portion remaining.

The remaining small portion was also jointly sealed by the immortal sect and the Badaxian Sect, used as a training ground for their own juniors, opened once every thousand years, impossible to break free from.

"No problem."

"The Dayang Dayang Tianchi is in the heartland of the immortal sect. Let alone the fact that the realm situation has already eased now and a great war won't easily break out, even during the past hostile period, there wouldn't be any impact."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun said readily: "The immortal sect's seal on the Dayang Dayang Tianchi has already been removed. The Badaxian Sect's seal requires some time to grind away, and needs the active cooperation of the Dayang Dayang Tianchi Spirit. When the time comes, you just need to make a trip."

"One more point,"

"even brothers settle accounts clearly."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun looked at Jiang Ding and said seriously: "The Dayang Dayang Tianchi is war spoils of the immortal sect and the Badaxian Sect. The Badaxian Sect is one thing—they have no share—but the immortal sect contributed a great deal."

"Therefore, the immortal sect wants to occupy a fifty-percent share."

"The Ri Yan Jing produced within, Moon Stream Crystals, and many top-tier sword-path heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as the Great Sun Soul Flame which is very useful to cultivators and can keep a cultivator's soul undestroyed for a period of time, and so on."

"Of these, the immortal sect wants half."

"Of course, control and management can be entirely given to you. The immortal sect will only audit the accounts, ensuring official assets don't dissipate."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun asked.

"Can you understand this?"

"I understand."

"It should be so, it must be so!"

Jiang Ding said solemnly, "My interests, and the interests of the immortal sect, must both be fully preserved. That is the way to endure."

"Lacking the approval of either side, encroaching upon the interests of either side, is unjust and unreasonable. I will wage a resolute struggle against this unreasonableness, and never compromise."

"Hahaha!"

"Good, very good!"

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun was greatly comforted.

……

Jiang Ding returned to his dormitory on Silver Sky Island, and sat cross-legged on the floor, smooth as a mirror.

Behind him, a stalk of Sun Divine Wood broke through the soil, growing upward, growing upward — a hundred meters, a thousand meters, two thousand meters…

Almost in an instant, it broke past its original height of a thousand meters. Without any pause, the trunk continued to spread toward the sky; golden, resplendent leaves unfurled, filling the field of vision, with no end in sight.

Twelve thousand meters tall!

After breaking through to Nascent Soul, the ancient-tree form manifested by the Taqing Flying Sword had grown to twelve thousand meters tall; its canopy spread over ten-plus kilometers, able to nearly contain an entire city — a true heaven-spanning giant tree, just as it appears in myth.

Correspondingly,

The speed at which the Taqing Flying Sword inhaled and exhaled the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and the essence of the Great Sun skyrocketed!
