Chapter 2387 - 2354: The Supreme Great Sun Grand Expedition Begins

Time flows gently.

In the era when the Human Emperor is present, the passage of time always feels swift.

Many reincarnations have occurred among the beings of the Human World, and countless stars have traversed the Endless Starry Sky over tens of thousands of years. The mobilization order of the Immortal Dynasty has reached its final moment.

Over these two hundred thousand years, the Immortal Dynasty has been preparing for war, stockpiling vast amounts of resources, and their mid-to-high level officers remain dormant.

On this day, innumerable banners and cultivators fly in from all corners of the Endless Starry Sky. Warships gather like clouds, high-level cultivators rain down, uncountable and forming organized and menacingly arrayed troops of the Immortal Dynasty, with one legion after another moving towards the Ziwei Star Domain, their numbers boundless.

Even the Supreme would feel like an ant before this vast sea of military might.

This expedition by the Immortal Dynasty consists of ten trillion!

Ten trillion elite forces of the Immortal Dynasty!

Should the battle situation change, they can swiftly mobilize several times this number of second-tier reserves at a moment’s notice, allowing for multi-directional attacks without issue.

Such a vast force of elite troops entering the Ziwei Star Domain instantly alters the celestial phenomena of the domain. The air is filled with the aura of arms, and cultivation of martial arts methods proceeds far faster than usual here.

These elite troops will set out to the dim starry sky after receiving an inspection from the Human Emperor to seek and annihilate the Dark Forbidden Zone.

This grand expedition will persist for at least tens of thousands of years.

One by one, the elite troops of the Immortal Dynasty arrive before the Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace, standing orderly beneath the Dubhe, all soldiers’ eyes suddenly turning fervent and restless.

There, a green-clothed youth with a longsword strapped to his waist slowly walks forth.

No matter the distance, no matter where they are, every soldier clearly sees this green-clothed youth. Some recognize him, some don’t, but an indescribable excitement rises within their hearts, almost instinctual, their Divine Souls quivering, unable to suppress the inner turmoil.

Emperor!

Human Emperor!

This is the Human Emperor!

Since the era of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers, he has already existed and will continue eternally in the future, an immortal presence in the starry sky!

"Sword Master!"

"We pay respects to the Sword Master!"

One by one, the Immortal Dynasty cultivators kneel on one knee, showing reverence to the predecessor on the Great Dao.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists."

Jiang Ding returns the courtesy with a solemn expression and states, "I wish all fellow Daoists a victorious return, as when you were young, bringing peace to the starry sky and laying eternal foundations for the Immortal Path!"

"May the Immortal Path remain evergreen for all Daoists!"

To the warriors of the expedition, about to step onto the battlefield, his heart is filled with anticipation.

"May the Sword Master, the Immortal Path remain evergreen!"

One by one, the Immortal Dynasty cultivators shout.

Jiang Ding nods, looking towards Yuan, the Chief of Staff of the Immortal Dynasty’s military.

"Forward!"

"Forward!"

"Forward..."

Yuan commands, and the various generals issue orders.

The ten trillion Immortal Dynasty army troops each embark on their journey, causing the winds that affect star domain storms to rise as they march, with military aura soaring to the sky, turning the Ziwei Star Domain into a military camp.

One by one, stars illuminate as they carry star domain legions flying towards distant realms.

These are galactic-class warships of the Immortal Dynasty, integrating combat, attack, defense, and living facilities. A single warship is like a mother nest the size of a Medium Thousand World, from which multiple fleets can emerge to explore in all directions, equipped with dormancy facilities that allow the army to rest while traveling, awakening only in times of war.

These stars of the Immortal Dynasty travel through the starry sky faster than light, flickering uncertainly, crossing countless light-years in an instant.

This is using the Sui Dragon within the Supreme Sun Central Hub for warp travel, the speed far exceeding normal, only using their own propulsion afterward once far from Immortal Dynasty territory.

One by one, the legions depart.

Left behind are only eighteen Emperor Realm cultivators and numerous super-tier elites.

This battle is an all-out effort, with only the Tu Shan Maiden Corps constantly guarding the Human Emperor while all super-tier elite forces participate in the expedition.

Eighteen Sword Emperors gaze intensely at the Human Emperor.

"Cultivators are both scientists and warriors."

"This is our destined fate, mastering great power. Both aspects have equally important qualities."

Jiang Ding looks at the fellow Daoists before him, speaking slowly.

Logically, these researchers, treasures of the Immortal Dynasty should not be on the battlefield; losing even one is heartbreaking.

However, this is the logic of mortals.

The logic of the Immortal Path is not this way.

Cultivators below the Emperor Realm, no matter how outstanding, how defiant, or how they are Heavenly Pride, cannot compare to even one-tenth of an Emperor Realm cultivator.

If Emperor Realm cultivators do not step onto the battlefield, should those below the Emperor Realm be the main force?

Any civilization not adhering to the logic of the Immortal Path long since vanished.

"A turbulent era nurtures opportunity, and Heavenly Pride and talented people rise from it."

"This is destiny’s gift to us."

Jiang Ding encourages, "From the history of various Immortal Dynasties, it can be seen that most Emperor Realm cultivators are born during the turbulent and perilous early stages of the Immortal Dynasty. Though peaceful times offer more resources and inheritance, fewer Emperor Realm cultivators emerge, showing the importance of life experiences to cultivators."

"Within the chaos lies fortune."

"May all of you, may the Immortal Path remain evergreen."

"Go forth, fellow Daoists, do not abandon research while marching and fighting. We wield books in one hand and swords in the other, cutting down all obstacles in the path of our Immortal Way."

The Human Emperor bestows his blessings.

"Yes!"

"Sword Master!"

One by one, Emperor Realm cultivators salute, and one by one, super-tier elite force cultivators salute, "We will surely return victoriously!"

"Return victoriously!"

The ten trillion expeditionary army spreads into the depths of the dark starry sky.

Jiang Ding does not know the exact coordinates of the Dark Forbidden Zone; Emperor’s Immortal Techniques obscure his calculations, but he knows a definite direction.

The ten trillion expeditionary army spreads in that direction, taking tens of thousands of years to probe every corner of the starry sky, searching for the temporary descending node where the emperor’s dark forbidden zone withdraws, drawing blood sacrifices from the Human World.

At that time, we will see how many Ancient Emperors dare appear before him.

...

After the expeditionary army departs, the starry sky suddenly becomes quiet.

The order of the starry sky remains.

The Immortal Tao Industry clusters in the Medium Thousand Worlds and Great Thousand Worlds continue to operate steadily, with production techniques constantly exploring improvements, seeking more efficient methods to further enhance the production power of the Immortal Path, with cultivation methods, magic, and treasures continually advancing in such a system.

As for the Minor Thousand Worlds, they are more oriented towards agriculture and educational planets.

Immortal Tao Industry emphasizes centralized production, as excessive dispersion is a waste of efficiency.

Research at the Immortal Dynasty Immortal Dao Research Institute also does not cease, with Jiang Ding overseeing it from the Supreme Great Sun Celestial Pivot, constantly engaged in discussions with numerous Emperor Realm cultivators and Quasi-Emperors marching on the expedition about various Immortal Path development issues.
