Chapter 913: Xu Gao Jie and Travel

The crystal walls of the Great Sun Heavenly Pool spun and flowed, traveling through the Hei Chen De Gao Jie realm.

Jiang Ding sat cross-legged in the Sun Abyss, meditating in stillness, unaware of the passage of time.

At a certain moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the slight spatial fluctuations appearing on the outer side of the Heavenly Pool's crystal walls.

Within those minute spatial fluctuations, dozens of sky-sea mother ships and tens of thousands of warships and fighter jets teleported into the Great Sun Heavenly Pool, circled briefly within the pool, and flew toward the Sun Abyss.

Jiang Ding waved his hand, temporarily blocking the Sun Abyss's destructive high temperatures and sword intent erosion to form a passage, then rose and flew forward to welcome them.

The fleet of sky-sea mother ships halted, and from them flew more than fifty Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun, led by a middle-aged man with a square face and a peak Nascent Soul cultivation.

"Professor Jiang, greetings!"

The middle-aged man saluted and introduced himself: "I am Liu Liu Futong, Dean of the Immortal Sect Warship Research Institute. I have been ordered to conduct a preliminary inspection of the Great Sun Heavenly Pool, gather various data, and prepare for future senior elders to participate in researching the Great Sun Sword Pavilion's warship technology, thereby strengthening the Immortal Sect's warship foundation."

Liu Liu Futong felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.

Clearly, the person before him was only mid-stage Nascent Soul, a realm lower than his own, yet when facing him directly, he instinctively felt somewhat suffocated.

There was not even any pressure; it was purely a psychological effect, as if facing a true Soul Transformation Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun.

"Greetings, Dean Liu, you are too polite."

Jiang Ding said politely.

This was something that had been scheduled long ago.

The Immortal Sect was very interested in the Great Sun Sword Pavilion's warship technology, believing that here lay the opportunity for the Immortal Sect to truly manufacture Void Refining warships, and thus they planned to invest massive manpower and resources in the future.

These Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun and tens of thousands of Jin Dan and Foundation Establishment cultivators were merely the beginning; subsequently, Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun, Yuan, and others would participate in turn, striving to digest the technology of the Great Sun Heavenly Pool, apply it locally, and elevate the Immortal Sect's warship technology to a higher level.

Jiang Ding looked forward to this.

The Great Sun Heavenly Pool had many flaws, the most critical being that it was broken, unable to face Void Refining experts, and even escape was impossible; it needed repair.

At present, only the Immortal Sect, with the strongest warship technology realm, had the capability.

Furthermore, the Great Sun Heavenly Pool was not compatible with the Immortal Sect's military formations; for instance, fleet migration technology could not be applied to the Great Sun Heavenly Pool.

This meant that once a large-scale war broke out, the Great Sun Heavenly Pool would be unable to receive support and protection from the Immortal Sect's military formations, placing it in an extremely dangerous situation on a Void Refining battlefield.

Additionally, while the Great Sun Heavenly Pool currently sufficed for his cultivation, once he advanced to a higher realm, the broken Great Sun Heavenly Pool would become difficult; it must be repaired and upgraded, otherwise it would affect his future Dao path, trapping him in a state of relative stunted growth like Ming Chong Guang Zi.

"Greetings, Professor Jiang!"

Another middle-aged female Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun with a stern appearance saluted and said: "I am Wang Wang Xianlan from the Agricultural Planning Institute of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. I will be responsible for the cultivation and maintenance of various heavenly treasures and earthly gems within the Great Sun Heavenly Pool to accelerate its self-repair capabilities as much as possible."

"Thank you, Director Wang."

Jiang Ding's gaze became even kinder.

The Great Sun Heavenly Pool was not as simple as a warship or a magical treasure; it possessed some characteristics of a world. The growth of various spiritual plants, spiritual beasts, heavenly treasures, earth vein qi, and spiritual energy within the pool could similarly restore some of the Great Sun Heavenly Pool's power.

At the same time, if the industrial planning and cultivation within the pool were done well, it would also constitute a considerable fortune.

Even if split fifty-fifty with the Immortal Sect, it would still be so.

At present, under the condition of ensuring sustainable development, the annual output value of heavenly treasures and earthly gems from the Great Sun Heavenly Pool was 4.3 billion low-grade spirit stones; a fifty-fifty split would be 2.15 billion low-grade spirit stones.

This output, in fact, did not quite match the reputation of the Great Sun Heavenly Pool; it was too little.

Jiang Ding hoped that this Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun Wang Wang Xianlan could change the current industrial situation of the Great Sun Heavenly Pool, making this place he regarded as home even more prosperous.

Behind the two Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun were dozens more Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun and tens of thousands of Jin Dan and Foundation Establishment cultivators, all their assistants and students, who would jointly participate in the research and development of the Great Sun Heavenly Pool.

Jiang Ding's divine sense split into thousands, meeting each person individually and greeting them.

He then led the crowd on a tour of the area.

"Everyone, please feel free; treat it as your own home. If anything breaks, it does not matter."

"If you encounter danger, just call out."

Jiang Ding pulled Yue Ling out, displaying her before the crowd, and said with a smile: "For any matter, no matter how small, such as getting lost, you can find her. Do not be polite."

"I don't know how to take care of children..."

Yue Ling muttered, but dared not contradict.

"Thank you, Professor Jiang; we will not be polite."

Liu Liu Futong and the other Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun hurriedly saluted again.

Jiang Ding nodded, instructed Yue Ling to handle everyone's accommodation, rest, cultivation, food, and other issues, and only after personally arranging everything properly did he return to the Sun Abyss, sit cross-legged, and continue cultivating and tempering his sword intent.

A large group of cultivators from the Immortal Sect's research institutes then scattered, heading to various places for investigation and survey, operating various instruments, testing and collecting all kinds of data, busy without cease.

Several months later, another session of cultivation and forging of the Taiching Flying Sword ended.

Jiang Ding opened his eyes, his figure hazy, crossed a distance of hundreds of kilometers, arrived at the inner edge of the Great Sun Heavenly Pool, and gazed at the distant boundary.

Ahead, two distinct regions were clearly separated.

One area was full of vitality, with Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu qi overflowing, a vast and endless forest.

The other area was filled with scorching heat and law-destroying radiation that had not dissipated for thousands of years; amidst the radioactive dust, the corpses of various grotesquely deformed creatures were faintly visible.

These were the traces left by the Immortal Sect and the Qingmuxian Sect in the war that annihilated the Great Sun Sword Pavilion back then; to this day, there is no sign of them fading, still terrifying, and a death zone even for Soul Transformation cultivators.

It was because of these scars that the Great Sun Heavenly Pool's recovery speed was extremely slow.

"Open!"

Jiang Ding formed a hand seal, manipulating the Great Sun Heavenly Pool's formation to reveal an extremely tiny gap.

A formless and quality-less, instinctively chilling forbidden nuclear weapon's destructive deformed power leaked out, fell upon the Taiching Flying Sword, and was absorbed.

Clang!

The spiritual light on the body of the Taiching Flying Sword flickered uncertainly.

Sometimes it surged violently, sometimes it was extremely weak, and at times, the smooth and straight sword body grew dense tentacles, eerie and terrifying, gloomy and sinister.

But in the end, this wisp of top-tier forbidden nuclear weapon radiation qi was absorbed and digested, and all abnormalities vanished.

"Approximately one wisp can be absorbed every three months, which can enhance the Taiching Flying Sword's affinity with the sun, its law-destroying and law-forbidding capabilities..."

Jiang Ding calculated, and immediately felt some despair.

These wisps and wisps—when would he ever be able to thoroughly purge the radiation aura from this whole area?

Fortunately, this was part of his cultivation; it could continuously strengthen his own strength, so it wasn't boring.

After cultivating for several decades, through years of accumulated training, once the Taiqing Flying Sword adapted to the forbidden nuclear weapon radiation aura, perhaps the speed would change.

"Temporary-licensed warship, please enter the designated orbit as required…"

The voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer came through.

Jiang Ding felt a strong sense of familiarity. He piloted Dayang Dayang Tianchi in a few orbits around the mother star, re-entered the Tiangang 33rd orbit, returned to node 734, and set down the spatial anchor.

"Heading out for a bit."

Jiang Ding had no intention of continuing his cultivation.

He flew out of Dayang Dayang Tianchi, rode his sword through the Immortal Gate orbit, and flew straight toward the Immortal Gate Central Bank.

The goal was very clear: take out a loan.

First, take out a loan of several tens of trillions of low-grade spirit stones, get the super warship Dayang project started, and talk about it later—it couldn't be delayed any further.
