Chapter 2430 - 2397: Ascending to the Nine Character Immortal Scripture

In the vast expanse, two million years have passed.

As the Empress departed, the last trace of humanity in the Ancient Emperor seemed to vanish as well, becoming like a divine totem, seldom seen by mortals. Just like the eternal existence of Taiyin and Taiyang stars, they observe the myriad happenings in the human world, yet remain unchanged, neither rejoicing in external things nor grieving for oneself.

Heaven and earth are indifferent, treating all things as straw dogs;

Likewise, the Ancient Emperor is indifferent, unconcerned with any living beings in the Immortal Dynasty, any heroic tales of old, or the rise and fall of Heavenly Pride across the Endless Starry Sky. He pays no attention to the overt and covert struggles between cultivators in the Immortal Dynasty, nor to the myriad happenings in the human world.

In ancient times, Human Emperors in the early stages were diligent in governance, with an orderly system from top to bottom. However, in the later stages, there was chaos, with corrupt officials running rampant, deceiving superiors and preying on inferiors. In various worlds, many people suffered massacres, and uprisings arose everywhere, and this is the reason.

The lifespan of the Human Emperor was too long, and many things he did not care about at all.

There was not a single life in the human world that made him linger or care.

Fortunately, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor differed from these past Human Emperors in that in his path, ’order’ and ’law’ were of utmost importance; hence, even if he did not care about any beings in the human world, he cared whether his laws were running smoothly, resulting in an ordered Endless Starry Sky today.

The Ancient Emperor only needed a society that adhered to the law, caring for nothing else.

On this day, another year in the two millionth spring, flowers were blooming in all worlds, the air was moist, and the sounds of birds singing, insects chirping, and the wind reverberated in the world. Life was so vibrant and beautiful, never losing a hint of color despite the Ancient Emperor’s disregard.

On this day, it was again time for an Immortal Dynasty Nine Character Immortal Scripture experiment.

Various experimental instruments and formation methods were spread across the Endless Starry Sky, with array nodes situated in various worlds. The experimental formations were stricter and more orderly, far more complex than seven million years ago.

Under the gaze of the Human Emperor, everything proceeded methodically.

"Sword Master,"

"The Nine Character Immortal Scripture formation test has been rechecked and is ready to begin the experiment."

A Emperor Realm Cultivator respectfully said.

He seemed to be the Immortal Gate Governor, a position that traditionally held significant leadership roles in the Immortal Dynasty, especially after the Empress’s departure.

As for the name, Jiang Ding no longer remembered.

Or rather, it wasn’t that he couldn’t remember, but he didn’t want to remember, he never asked, because it held no value or meaning.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Ding sat on the Crystal Divine Throne, bowing slightly in return.

This Immortal Gate Governor was a little flattered, immediately bowing even lower. Even though he knew the Ancient Emperor was saluting the position of Immortal Gate Governor rather than himself, there were still many fears and excitements in his heart.

In front of this ancient, immortal being who had lived for thirty million years, everyone felt immense pressure.

"Begin."

"The third Nine Character Immortal Scripture experiment, fellow Daoists."

Jiang Ding calmly spoke.

Buzz!

Buzzing...

The Endless Starry Sky began to tremble slowly, and the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao appeared in sequence, with countless shattered phenomena unfolding relentlessly.

Then, the Elimination Method Dao radiated brilliantly!

A twilight cosmos was born from the Elimination Dao, initially the size of a fist-like seed, then exploded like Pangu creating the heavens and earth, instantly expanding into the Endless Universe Starry Sky, enveloping the limits of the universe observed by the Ancient Emperor, covering the world, the heavens, the starry sky, and the Taiyin and Taiyang stars.

Subsequently, the End of Dharma era began to appear in reverse cycles in the universe, with Taiyin and Taiyang stars falling, Heavenly People Five Declines, spiritual energy severed, and the onset of End of Dharma sweeping rains and other fearful catastrophes began to manifest.

This was the third experiment, where everything was completely under control, with almost no accidents.

Cultivators of the Immortal Dynasty had prepared hundreds of thousands of repair plans, hundreds of thousands of contingency strategies, and trained cultivator teams for hundreds of thousands of years, but today it was of no use, as everything proceeded in an orderly fashion, to the extent a sense of mechanical dullness ensued, almost inducing sleepiness.

"Nine Character Immortal Scripture experiment model first test, second test, nine hundredth test..."

"Eight-character Immortal Scripture exploration... connection..."

"Time Spirit Rice breeding project normal... Supreme Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold project normal... Ancient Emperor-level battleship test normal, test data under analysis..."

One report after another received by Jiang Ding in the Sea of Divine Consciousness, absorbed, processed, and analyzed by him.

This Nine Character Immortal Scripture experiment was particularly prolonged.

When the sixteenth millisecond of the scheduled experiment time arrived, all experimental tasks were successfully completed, without a ripple or any incident.

This signified the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor’s exploration of the Nine Character Immortal Scripture reached an unprecedented level.

It could be said that if not for considering some subsequent truths or thoughts, he could achieve the status of Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor in a single thought without any suspense.

Therefore, from beginning to end, even at his most vulnerable times, no external enemies descended.

In this aspect, truly a regret.

In the Endless Starry Sky, the twilight phenomena dissipated, the End of Dharma era was ultimately a transient inverted cycle of the universe, vanishing instantaneously, leaving only a hint of regret for a contemporary extinction dao ancient emperor.

"Sword Master!"

"The experiment succeeded!"

The Immortal Gate Governor and nine Emperor Realm cultivators of the Immortal Dynasty exclaimed excitedly.

For the Ancient Emperor, this Immortal Scripture experiment was merely a repetition, boring and somewhat tedious, but for them, it was the most prideful event in their lives, having participated in significant Immortal Science research affecting the universe.

Currently, the Immortal Dynasty had ten Emperor Realm cultivators.

This number had halved or more compared to the past, which was curious because in terms of cultivation environment, the current Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty far surpassed those of the past.

Throughout the past dynasties of the Immortal Dynasty, this was always the case.

Often, the first batch of elites born from hardship at the beginning of a dynasty would see the most emergence of Emperor Realm cultivators. During subsequent times, even if the Ancient Emperor was alive, so many elites would not gather again. Many attributed this to the Cosmic Destiny theory, where during certain periods in the Endless Starry Sky, talents were extraordinarily abundant, emerging alongside the birth of a Human Emperor, with a constellation of stars arriving with destiny.

During the subsequent times of an Immortal Dynasty, such destiny did not accompany.

The only solace being, this Nine Character Immortal Scripture experiment might foster the birth of several Emperor Realm cultivators.

This was the profound foundation of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty.

A terrifying peak education system, open heritage, abundant resources, a liberal environment for Immortal Dao research, and the occasional super projects of Immortal Dao, all formed the rich soil from which Emperor Realm cultivators emerged.

These special conditions were not guaranteed even for other Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors to possess entirely.

The talent borne from the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty, in both quantity and quality, stood unparalleled in the times of the Forbidden Zone Immortal Dynasty, marking a distinct characteristic of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty setting it apart from other Forbidden Zone Immortal Dynasties.

"The experiment was a success."

"All fellow Daoists have worked hard, the merits will be distributed shortly."

Jiang Ding displayed a faint smile, slowly standing up from the Crystal Divine Throne and walking toward the depths of the Endless Starry Sky.

The Endless Starry Sky began to manifest yellow, End of Dharma-like phenomena, as the Elimination Dao was materialized from the Heavenly Dao, descending behind the green-clothed youth, while the Stellar Sky Heavenly Dao tightened, sensing something amiss.

The contemporary Ancient Emperor is advancing to become a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor!
