Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”Sword Master,”

”Can you find some time to explore another direction?”

An enthusiastic representative from the Xianmen Sect citizens of a star system inquired.

The surrounding crowd’s eyes sparkled brightly, as if they had seen the technological explosion’s ginseng fruit, all fixated on the green-clothed youth.

”We’ll see.”

Jiang Ding gently declined.

Traveling in the depths of the Soulless Universe took too much time and yielded too little, merely wasting millions of years of life span, and even he couldn’t afford to waste that much.

Although the Immortal Dao Science of today’s Endless Starry Sky Immortal Dynasty has a ceiling, horizontal development in applied technology can still be researched, and many of the most top-tier Immortal Tier factories still require his involvement in core procedures; all these are crucial reserves for the future Golden Era.

If he leaves the Endless Starry Sky, all these would be delayed.

In the Soulless Universe, the development of the Xianmen Sect’s materialist technological civilization mainly relies on the Xianmen Sect citizens themselves, and he cannot provide much help.

If one day, the Xianmen Sect could become a God-level civilization, that would be good.

Jiang Ding discussed materialist science with many Xianmen Sect citizens, then took his leave and returned once more to the center of the Endless Starry Sky, the Great Sun Celestial Pivot among the Nine Heavens of the Ziwei Star Domain.

Sitting in the starry sky, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor overlooked the various aspects of the Endless Starry Sky.

There was a sense that everything was under control, all causes and effects were suppressed, and all time flowed orderly; this was something the Soulless Universe could not provide him, leaving a vague, ethereal sense of emptiness.

This was a manifestation of not having a firm reliance.

Meaning, no materialist foundation.

If a near-God-level civilization from the Material Universe were to come to the Immortal Dao Universe, they would probably have the same thoughts, a constant illusion of impending collapse.

Is this really just an illusion?

”My foundation, after all, is forged of the Immortal Path...”

Jiang Ding murmured.

At this moment, he understood where the faint unease in his heart came from during his travels in the Soulless Universe.

Perhaps, he had already been touched by the feelers of a near-God-level civilization, but the sharp sense for cause and effect and destiny of the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor was entirely blocked by the Soulless Universe, unable to perceive it clearly.

The Soulless Universe, one should really visit when necessary, for the Ancient Emperor is too fragile there.

However, if true despair strikes, that might be the last path remaining. Who knows if devouring the entire fruits of a near-God-level civilization might lead to an understanding, to tread the True Immortal Road?

”Then, the reserved life span should be more substantial.”

”At least reserve eight million years as a last resort, otherwise it might be impossible to cope with possible cosmic warfare in the Soulless Universe, which is truly a vast universe, far larger than the Endless Starry Sky.”

Jiang Ding silently calculated.

The Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty successfully absorbed most of the civilizational foundation of two major Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors, accumulating resources at a rate much faster than many historical Forbidden Zone Immortal Dynasties, without the need for ninety million years of accumulation.

Thinking about all this, Jiang Ding paced slowly towards the Great Sun Forbidden Area, stepping into another realm with each step.

This was the place favored by the Destruction Dao, where the Time River flows relatively calmly, constantly connected with the present world, drawing nourishment from it—the Great Sun Forbidden Area, where the Emperor Realm Cultivators of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty slumber across generations.

The sky here was an indistinct yellow sun, continuously casting dim yellow radiance from the sky, drawing the essence of heaven and earth from the Time River, nourishing this land, maintaining the near-frozen time slumber of all living beings on this land.

This was the Supreme Treasure of the Great Sun Forbidden Area, the Time Sun!

This supreme treasure of the way of time was forged from half the Immortal Body of the Ancient Emperor of the Sun, enriched with countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as well as the essence of Elimination Method, driven by the Sun Dao, influencing time, and establishing the robust foundation of the Great Sun Forbidden Area.

In this twilight world, it had long ceased to be desolate and dead; instead, sparse patches of wild grass had quietly grown on the land, tenaciously thriving amidst the desert gaps. These wild grasses occasionally drew life essence from the Time River, nourishing this land, nurturing the slumbering Emperor Realm Cultivators of the Immortal Dynasty.

Within a certain time limit, as they slumber, the bodies and Divine Souls of the Emperor Realm Cultivators do not weaken but are slowly nourished, their essence gradually enhanced—a truly significant foundational fortune.

This time limit falls within the scope of the Golden Era timeline calculated by the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor.

This is the second Supreme Treasure of the Great Sun Forbidden Area, the Time Wild Grass!

The Time Wild Grass was made from half the Immortal Body of the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor, enriched with countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, endowing the Great Sun Forbidden Area with boundless life.

With the blessing of these two Supreme Treasures, the Great Sun Forbidden Area stands apart from other slumbering grounds of the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors.

Coupled with the terrifying productivity of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty and the terror of ninety million years of full-capacity production of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for entombment, the foundation grows ever deeper.

”Everything is arranged; all is poured in.”

”All of this is exactly like many Western Han emperors who started building their tombs from the first day on the throne, expending countless manpower and resources, treating death as life, the past and the present—it all resembles one another too much...”

”Could it be that those ancient emperors also believed they could live until the next life?”

Jiang Ding murmured.

”Will my Golden Era, in the end, be like their ancient emperors, all becoming dreams and illusions? Becoming dead objects plundered by future generations?”

”Or perhaps become a museum for posterity to visit, with tourists exclaiming ’the delusions of ancient emperors,’ ’the limitations of the era’?”

At this moment, a trace of confusion appeared in the heart of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor.

The Golden Era, in his calculations, would come. This conclusion was derived from the cyclical regularity data observed in the Endless Universe Starry Sky, with all calculated results rigorous and in alignment with Immortal Science.

However, is this the reality?

Is there a possibility of a minuscule data error, deviating a thousand miles due to a slight miscalculation, causing him to miss the Golden Era’s shadow until the end of his life?

This kind of thing has happened so many times in history!

Too many times!

In the extremely distant past, Ancient Emperors weren’t called Ancient Emperors but Ancient Emperors, yet today, almost all the Ancient Emperors, including the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors, are dead, with only the title of Beidou Ancient Emperor remaining, uncertain if dead or still barely lingering on.

The entire generation of Ancient Emperors were the sacrifices of the era, all having calculated incorrectly.

Perhaps such scenes have played out in history—one Ancient Emperor after another, like the present Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, calculated everything about the Golden Era, convinced utterly, and embarked into slumber.

Yet ultimately, they all perished in the tide of time.

”It won’t happen.”

”All of this won’t happen.”

”I, possessed of celestial talent, born with the destiny to become immortal in the Immortal Dao Universe, an unparalleled elite, there’s no way such errors could occur...”

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor murmured softly.
