Chapter 2447 - 2414: Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor Explores the Depths of the Soulless Universe

Xianmen Sect, Mother Star.

After many years, he returned to his homeland once again.

Every time he came here, he felt immense discomfort because he would reminisce about so many people, his grandparents, mother, sister, uncle, Lin Yuanwang, An Siyan, Jin Lingfeng... Faces and figures constantly appeared before him, especially during these years of solitude.

This made him feel uneasy.

Only the elderly frequently recall the past.

"This is too much idle time."

"Lazy cattle and horses produce lots of dung."

"If there were a battlefield, I wouldn’t be so melancholic and wistful."

Jiang Ding whispered.

He gazed at the starry sky of the Xianmen Sect, where in the night sky of the solar system, massive super factories were already being constructed. In the center, a Qilin Ancient Emperor as vast as Stone Star rose and sank, while Xianmen cultivators swarmed over it like ants, occasionally sparking flashes of light.

The Ancient Emperor-level warships of the Xianmen Sect had begun construction.

This was a tremendously lengthy project, requiring the lifetimes of countless generations of Immortal Sect Citizens.

Jiang Ding carefully inspected this industrial area, then turned and flew into the depths of the Soulless Universe, passing by stars and planets, spending time reaching the Silver Heart Supermassive Black Hole.

It was here that he had achieved the Great Sun Immortal Mortal Sword Soul years ago.

Returning to this place now, the gravitational pull remained strong, seemingly capable of twisting time, though it could no longer affect the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor even slightly, not even blowing a single hair.

Jiang Ding’s gaze fell into the center of the Silver Heart Supermassive Black Hole, walking step by step, reaching the deepest point.

Nothing was found.

"Indeed,"

"it’s useless."

Jiang Ding gently closed his eyes: "Immortal, even in the Soulless Universe, is at the height of a god-level civilization, and I have long been at the Celestial Body Level, my influence surpassing galaxies and super star clusters. In the Soulless Universe, unless it’s god-level civilization inheritance and materials of the same level, it cannot affect me."

"And in this Soulless Universe, is there any existence of god-level civilization?"

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor looked into the profound, endless starry sky, revealing a trace of apprehension.

If a god-level civilization truly exists, how would it perceive such a high-energy entity like myself?

Cooperation?

Capture?

No one knows.

The material civilization of the Xianmen Sect is expanding beyond the Milky Way, and despite hundreds of millions of years of development, it too has reached a bottleneck. Additionally, the bottleneck is far lower than the lower limit of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, with many possibilities the material civilization of the Xianmen Sect will forever remain at this level.

The explosive progress of technology is merely an incidental occurrence in time, not an inevitable one.

There is no rule in the universe that a technological civilization can continually progress, continually progress.

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor has reached today’s heights, with great reference from the inheritance of the Endless Starry Sky Dominator Human Race, and the various challenges from myriad races. Exploring alone on the Immortal Path, everything would need to be developed from scratch, possibly with Supreme being the limit for the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor.

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor inherited some immortal-level transmissions from the Immortal Dao Universe!

But the material civilization of the Xianmen Sect received no such god-level civilization transmissions. It explores solo amidst the dark, dead silent starry sky, with only occasional support from the Immortal Dao Universe, and nothing else, along this extremely arduous journey.

"The probability of achieving immortality in the Immortal Dao Universe is slightly higher than in the Soulless Universe."

"Yet, it is equally arduous..."

Jiang Ding muttered to himself, his body transforming into quantum entangled form, traveling far faster than light across the universe.

He planned to spend some time exploring this universe, retracing the path of the Great Sun Sword Master Xi Yuan from years ago, to journey further, and further.

...

One million years later.

A dim, dusky Escape Light silently returned, revealing the pale-faced Great Sun Ancient Emperor.

His aura was extremely dim, and his presence was very faint. If a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor were to ambush at this time and place, it might just reenact the old event of the Great Sun Sword Master Xi Yuan.

"Failed."

"The vastness of the Soulless Universe exceeds imagination; is it truly endless?"

Jiang Ding murmured softly.

This million-year journey, he traveled through various parts of the Soulless Universe, witnessed many beautiful celestial phenomena, observed numerous cosmic wonders, and thus the Elimination Dao was activated, increasing his cultivation significantly, providing more insights into the Elimination Sun Immortal Scripture. Yet, he still couldn’t find a way to conduct the Eight-character Immortal Scripture experiment out of wrong timing.

He clearly realized that compared to the higher-energy Immortal Dao Universe, the vastness of the Soulless Universe was undoubtedly much greater.

Throughout this journey, he had captured several aliens, stumbled upon several mediocre material civilizations but found nothing of great value.

Moreover, the further from the Mother Star, the more terrifying the Spirit Scattering phenomenon!

As the journey progressed, each light year traveled consumed astronomical amounts of Spiritual Energy, energy that couldn’t be replenished at all. In the end, he dared not go further, for if he did, he wouldn’t be able to come back.

"This, too, is a dead end."

"The Immortal Path is so arduous..."

Jiang Ding sighed lightly.

In the distance, Xianmen cultivators sped forth, their faces filled with excitement.

"Sword Master!"

"You’ve returned? What’s it like deep in the universe?"

Xianmen cultivators asked eagerly, alongside numerous representatives from the Soulless Universe, who also represented the will of the Xianmen Sect, more concerned about the Soulless Universe.

"There are some gains, but not much."

Jiang Ding showed a hint of a smile and waved his hand.

A light ball appeared, flying toward the crowd, containing a group of metal people, a group of silicon-based people, a group of tentacle people, a group of electromagnetic people, and a vast array of machines, slabs, chips, books, minerals, etc.

So-called ’people’ don’t necessarily have a human form.

The ’people’ here refer to beings of intelligence, not beasts, with their own civilization.

Many civilizations had already ventured beyond planets, entering the interstellar era. There was even a most powerful river system-level civilization that had once deemed Jiang Ding a cosmic beast, dispatching an interstellar fleet hoping to capture him, only to be slain one by one by Jiang Ding who then infiltrated the civilization core, collecting numerous specimens, and capturing immense knowledge.

"Aliens!"

"There are actually aliens! And alien civilizations!"

Representatives of material planets rejoiced wildly from the Xianmen Sect, shouting aloud.

After so many years of development, the planets of material universe in the Xianmen Sect inevitably formed a local consciousness, paying more attention to the development of material civilization, as it impacts their longevity, quality of life, etc. Not everyone can practice cultivation.

The data brought back equates to numerous Immortal Sect Level inheritances from the Immortal Dao Universe!

Such data and aliens will undoubtedly propel the material civilization of the Xianmen Sect to higher levels!
