Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

The Immortal Path is dead!

In this era, the Immortal Path is dead!

”Immortal Path...”

Jiang Ding sat quietly beside the slumbering Empress, a hint of crimson appearing in his eyes, murmuring softly.

After ascending to a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor and defeating the Ancient Emperor of the Sun, he finally had time to conduct the deduction of the Eight-character Immortal Scripture. Initially, he thought it would be extremely challenging, for when he first attempted the Nine-character Immortal Scripture, it was filled with countless threads and problems, but he was wrong, completely wrong.

The deduction of the Eight-character Immortal Scripture was not difficult at all; just a slight deduction and the result emerged.

A dead end.

A complete dead end, without the slightest hope, not even the slightest possibility.

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor walked within the Immortal Path, reaching out to touch a thick barrier, so near, so high, with no light penetrating through.

This is the shared despair of the Ancient Emperors of the Forbidden Areas throughout the ages.

”Celestial Timing...”

”Celestial Timing, it is not right.”

Jiang Ding murmured, ”Is it possible that if the Celestial Timing is not right, then there is absolutely no chance of achieving immortality?”

Becoming immortal is not just a qualitative leap for the Cultivator; it is also an elevation of the universe. The two are not isolated events. Without the Celestial Timing, it means that the Cultivator must go against the universe to achieve the Dao, a completely zero-probability event.

This is something only immortals can accomplish.

According to Jiang Ding’s calculations, performing an Eight-character Immortal Scripture simulation experiment requires a resource cost a hundred thousand times that of a Nine-character Immortal Scripture experiment!

A hundred thousand times!

A hundred thousand times indeed!

This result is utterly unbelievable; the disparity is too vast, resembling an error in calculation rather than an answer.

However, Jiang Ding calculated repeatedly, and the final results were always the same.

Only more, never once less.

The external Immortal Scripture experiment conditions are completely inadequate, and the entire universe cannot meet the experimental requirements. To perform an Eight-character Immortal Scripture experiment, one must reconstruct the universe entirely.

——The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor does not possess such power.

This is the authority of the immortals.

”All dreams and illusions have become void...”

Jiang Ding murmured.

Suddenly, he longed for fine wine, to spend his life in intoxication.

This weak thought appeared in his life for the first time, a Sword Cultivator harboring the notion of numbing himself, unwilling to face the cold reality.

The external environment is inadequate, and there is no possibility of realizing the Eight-character Immortal Scripture experiment.

Streamline and optimize the Eight-character Immortal Scripture experiment model?

Impossible, truly impossible, as the external environment is entirely mismatched. Everywhere is unknown, and in the Great Dream Sword Realm, it is impossible to simulate the Eight-character Immortal Scripture experiment. It cannot even be considered a fantasy and is utterly unworthy of the title ’Immortal Science.’ Under such circumstances, all streamlining and optimization are empty talk.

For generations, Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors have unanimously given up completely at the moment of their ascension.

All Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors are preparing for the Golden Era.

The time of the Supreme Great Sun Day Pivot flows like water, passing without notice, and just as he was lost in ancient emperor musings, a special message from beyond the palace interrupted his calculations.

”Five million years...”

Jiang Ding sat upright at the overlap of the Sun Forbidden Area and the Supreme Great Sun Day Pivot, muttering to himself.

For five million years, he had been calculating the Eight-character Immortal Scripture, always trying to find a path, calculating billions of potential paths, yet achieving nothing.

The specially granted transmission from beyond the Dubhe reached him, gleaming brightly.

This is a specially granted transmission, related to the data observation concerning the Time River, otherwise, the external world would have no authority to communicate with the Supreme Great Sun Day Pivot.

As old acquaintances gradually departed, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor grew more transcendent, approaching the Heavenly Dao. He would not appear before the living until the life and death crisis of the Immortal Dynasty approached.

”Sword Master,”

”Following the Super Immortal Array of the Time River you left behind, the Immortal Dynasty has already traced the steps once taken by the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor.”

The current Tushan Maid, Emperor Realm Cultivator Yu Ling spoke reverently, her voice brimming with intense tension and unease, along with overflowing anticipation.

From her birth to her attainment of the Dao, she was always bathed in the glory of the Sword Master.

Yet, throughout her life, she had never seen the Sword Master, the Supreme Sword Dao Monarch to whom all Tushan Maids pledged allegiance the moment they stepped upon the path of the Dao.

Within the Supreme Great Sun Maid Path, without a loyal heart, one cannot ascend to a high position.

”Nine-leaf Sword Emperor...”

Jiang Ding slowly raised his head.

In the next moment, his figure emerged within the Super Immortal Array of the Time River, looking around. Indeed, the living beings of the human world had once again all changed faces, leaving none familiar.

”Greetings!”

”Sword Master!”

One by one, the Immortal Dynasty’s Emperor Realm Cultivators and Quasi-Emperor Venerables resounded loudly.

Everyone’s eyes were fervent and bright, trembling with excitement, firmly remembering all they witnessed because this was the only honor of a lifetime!

”Greetings, young fellow Daoists.”

”Over the years, you’ve worked hard.”

Jiang Ding spoke slowly.

”I don’t dare!”

The many Emperor Realm Cultivators and Venerables became even more excited, responding with respect.

The Super Immortal Array of the Time River had operated for five million years, experienced by generation after generation of Immortal Dynasty Cultivators. It was just in their generation that results appeared, hence they dared not claim full credit, as the descendants and disciples of the former contributing cultivators continued their legacy.

Jiang Ding gently comforted them with kind words.

Even in utter despair with the stagnation of the development of Immortal Science, he did not wish to take out his frustrations on these Immortal Dynasty Cultivators, as this was not the base behavior a Sword Cultivator should exhibit.

Systematically addressing various matters, Jiang Ding rapidly deduced the accumulated data in the Immortal Array of the Time River, calculating swiftly.

Compared to when facing the Ancient Emperor of the Sun, his efficiency improved significantly.

Just a few thousand years later, as Jiang Ding’s gaze, alternating between black and white, settled on the Endless Starry Sky Time River, he observed the elimination method immortalization rules, gradually revealing one scarlet trace after another, fluctuating in the Time River, intermittently, stretching into the future.

”Hmph... Nine-leaf.”

”Indeed, there was some modification, but the cause and effect between you and me run deeper than with the Ancient Emperor of the Sun, a yearning of countless eras of Human Race Sword Cultivators.”

Jiang Ding let out a slight, cold laugh, looking toward a corner of the future in the downstream of the Time River.

There, a gentle river course existed.

With the instilled gaze of the extinction and immortalization rules watch, layers of Time River dissipated, revealing within it a handsome, strange white-clothed Sword Immortal.

Nine-leaf Sword Emperor!

After an unknown amount of millennia, the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor once again appeared in the human world!

Countless Immortal Dynasty Cultivators trembled, and innumerable Human Race Sword Cultivators of the Immortal Dynasty recalled history once more, emotions like killing intent and fear surfacing in their hearts.

”Supreme Great Sun...”

”Long time no see.”

The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor, however, was not surprised, merely smiling slightly.

Without trial, he made the same yet even more decisive act as the Ancient Emperor of the Sun, instantly burning all of his being, reaching ultimate transcendence, frantically fleeing toward the future downstream of the Time River.

He was certain he could escape, it must be so.

Because, even for the Ancient Emperor of the Forbidden Areas of the current world, it is futile to try to slay a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor intent on fleeing!

With Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors being equal, in battles of the same tier, who among them lacks talent or combat skills compared to another?

The historical Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors would never engage in an uneven Holy Sword Fight with the Ancient Emperors of the current age, as such a Holy Sword Fight holds no value or potential breakthroughs.
