Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding’s eyes flickered with black and white light, scanning inch by inch the Zhenyuan Ginseng Fruit Tree, an Immortal Dao creation formed by the condensed wisdom of many Ancient Emperors, through the miracle of the Soulless Universe, carefully analyzing its components, effects, and so on.

Hundreds of Ancient Emperors held their breath, waiting, not daring to make any sound that might disturb.

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor was clearly very concerned about this matter, employing the highest level of scanning. This might be the strongest super Immortal Dao scanning computer in the Immortal Dao Universe, working at high intensity to analyze the target’s material, rules, growth time, future predictions, etc.

This scan lasted a long time, a full ten-plus years.

After a decade, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor closed his eyes slightly, then opened them, revealing a hint of fatigue.

“Let it go.”

Without waiting for the Ancient Emperors to inquire, Jiang Ding spoke, immediately handing a Jade Slip to the Time Order Ancient Emperor.

“Yes, Sword Master!”

The Time Order Ancient Emperor took a deep breath and received the Jade Slip with both hands, examining it with Divine Sense along with everyone else.

“Scanning Results of the Zhenyuan Ginseng Fruit Tree”

The title on the Jade Slip was very simple, but the information stream inside it was terrifyingly vast, starting from the most basic microscopic particle level, presenting structure after structure, and even from the perspective of time, offering potential developments for tens of millions of years into the future, involving up to several hundred billion possibilities, each a future of the Zhenyuan Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Predicting such a future was incredibly difficult, even for an Eight-character Immortal Scripture Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor.

These scanning results made the Ancient Emperors dizzy just by reading them. Some Ancient Emperors who tried to delve deeper immediately found their heads splitting and their Divine Souls nearly torn apart, halting in shock and with lingering fear.

They realized that there was an immense gap between their Immortal Souls and the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, and forcibly predicting was a direct tearing of their Immortal Souls.

Everyone quickly skimmed over the complex results, looking towards the final answer.

“The Venerable Longevity Fruit is effective, actual detection shows it can extend a Venerable’s life by two hundred and ten thousand to four hundred thousand years, with acceptable cultivation time and cost, a successful research outcome, though there is still room for improvement. My lord believes improvements can be attempted in the following aspects…”

“The Emperor’s Life Fruit, actual detection shows it can extend an Emperor Realm Cultivator’s life by seven hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand years, but the cultivation cost is extremely high, with no practical value for large-scale production. My lord suggests exploring improvements through the Time River planting direction…”

“The Emperor Longevity Fruit can extend the life of an Ancient Emperor below the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor level by… one year.”

“A work of groundbreaking breakthrough significance, but the actual value is close to zero. The improvement direction is in the Time River, the current fruit tree roots are too weak, even though a large amount of Dao origin material is accumulated, it is still useless. The roots draw Time River power weakly… there is a serious flaw in the Dao aspect. My lord believes that the ‘One Fruit One Dao’ cultivation plan should be strictly implemented, each Emperor Longevity Fruit in the embryo state must be infused with the Power of Dao of a corresponding Ancient Emperor, or it cannot grow into a fruit with effective life extension… in terms of rules…”

If the data stream were recorded in books, it could fill Jade Slips across dozens of Great Thousand Worlds. In analyzing the Venerable Longevity Fruit and Emperor’s Life Fruit, less than one percent of the content was used, while ninety-nine percent focused on the Emperor Longevity Fruit, discussing its various possibilities, advantages, and shortcomings.

“Indeed, it failed…”

After carefully reading, the hundreds of Ancient Emperors felt a twinge of excitement, but mostly discouragement and powerlessness.

The excitement was naturally because the experimental results finally proved that the three-million-year limit could be broken. Even if it was just extending life by a year, ordinary Ancient Emperors could also break this limit; life extension was indeed possible.

The powerlessness was because the Zhenyuan Ginseng Fruit Tree seemed infinitely distant.

Not only was the research’s difficulty extremely high, leading to despair, but the cultivation cycle of the Zhenyuan Ginseng Fruit Tree was undoubtedly exceedingly lengthy. The majority of the Ancient Emperors present had only six to seven hundred thousand years of lifespan left. By the time the Zhenyuan Ginseng Fruit Tree matured, they might already be long dead.

“The Dao has always been this way.”

“Fellow Daoists have grown somewhat weak; extending one’s life is to defy the heavens, challenges are to be expected.”

Seeing this, Jiang Ding sternly said, “Moreover, current difficulties do not indicate future difficulties remain the same. My Seven-character Immortal Scripture is within reach, and among many Cross Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperors, there are still many fellow Daoists with significant potential to advance to the Nine Character Immortal Scripture. Once these changes occur, current difficulties may not remain as such.”

“If fellow Daoists find their Life Energy insufficient, they can temporarily sleep. The Immortal Dao civilization of the Golden Era is accelerating in an upward climb, technology is progressing rapidly, so why worry?”

These words exploded like thunder in the Sea of Consciousness of many Ancient Emperors.

Many Ancient Emperors were suddenly awakened, rousing from the state where Internal Demons had taken root.

Indeed.

In the Golden Era, the heroes of the Endless River of Time gather; what remains impossible? What was once despair in past ages?

“Sword Master, I am enlightened.”

Many Ancient Emperors repeatedly bowed.

“Hahaha!”

“If there are challenges, then go and overcome them. Haven’t we always been like this? When has anything ever been completed in one go?”

Jiang Ding laughed heartily, saying no more, directly subdividing the second version of the Zhenyuan Ginseng Fruit Tree research project into hundreds of sub-projects, distributing them to the many Ancient Emperors, allowing them to plunge back into their intense work.

…

Time slowly passed.

The situation in the Endless Starry Sky was generally stable.

Ten thousand years ago, the Emperor Huanggu and the Hundred Battles Ancient Emperor, forming a close alliance, joined forces to launch an attack against the Three Flames Ancient Emperor, attempting to seize many Star Domains to expand their celestial territory, but unfortunately failed, forced to retreat by the joint efforts of the Huang Yan Dragon Emperor and the Three Flames Ancient Emperor, once again shrinking back into the Ziwei Ancient Realm.

Apart from that, nothing significant happened.

On this day, the center of the Ancient Sun System surged with waves, layers of Destiny Path’s brilliance converging, drawing the gaze of many Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperors.

Many Xianmen Sect Emperor Realm cultivators, Venerable cultivators, and even the renowned Deep Space Annihilation Fleet gathered here, establishing it as a military forbidden zone, with orders to kill trespassers without mercy.

The alert level had long been raised to the highest.

At the very center, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor and many Xianmen cultivators were conducting the final confirmations and deductions.

“… The billionth and ninety millionth verification begins…”

“… Destiny Path’s rules are stable, no anomalies…”

“… Heavenly Yuan Supreme Great Sun Demon Slaying Sword Formation activated, highest alert status, citizen fleet patrolling all directions…”

Lines of data and commands flashed by, delivered to the Divine Sense and collective will of every citizen, confirmed again and again.

Finally, all data consolidated.

All citizens looked towards the young man in green at the center.

“Begin.”

“Central Array Spirit Computer, Four Spirits uniting project, ascending to the Nine Character Immortal Scripture Forbidden Zone level computer, commence!”

Jiang Ding said solemnly.
