Chapter 2457 - 2424: The Terrifying Number of Emperor Realm Cultivators in the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty

Even for a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, throughout his ninety million-year lifespan, the number of Emperor Realm cultivators he nurtured would barely reach a few dozen, far fewer than those of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty.

The number of Emperor Realm cultivators in the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty is at least more than five times that of other Forbidden Zone Immortal Dynasties!

This is an anomaly, an anomaly in Immortal Path education.

Perhaps, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor so adept at educating and nurturing talent.

This relates to the path of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, who, compared to other Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors, heavily relied on a large and high-quality team of Immortal Tao Scientists for his Immortal Path research. He integrated the Heavenly Pride from the Endless Starry Sky to conduct Immortal Path research, otherwise, he couldn’t demonstrate the research quality of a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor level.

The Ancient Emperor of the Sun said he was ’average in talent and intelligence,’ which isn’t battlefield humiliation but rather a statement of objective fact.

Among the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors, the talent and intelligence of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor were indeed weaker.

"One hundred and seventy-nine Emperor Realm cultivators..."

"That’s not too bad."

Jiang Ding calculated and extrapolated: "If during the Golden Era, one could find a method to extend the lifespan of Emperor Realm cultivators, it would be fantastic; it’s likely feasible—such a good world environment, a world so suitable for cultivators living."

"If simultaneously there were more than two hundred Emperor Realm cultivators used as laborers, and they each formed large, orderly research teams...my research efficiency would soar."

Jiang Ding envisioned such a beautiful prospect, his breath involuntarily quickened.

Throughout his life, he had never enjoyed the beautiful scene of two hundred Emperor Realm cultivators assisting in research. Even at the peak state of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty, there were only about twenty to thirty Emperor Realm cultivators, not forming large-scale, collective Emperor Realm research teams.

For him, using Emperor Realm cultivators in warfare is a waste.

Only by considering Emperor Realm cultivators as leading figures in various disciplines, organizing teams to conduct Immortal Path research, can their use be maximized.

"Ah, the Golden Era...how many dreams it carried."

Jiang Ding sighed.

His gaze returned from the unmanned warships coming and going in the Forbidden Zone, turning to the entrance of the Forbidden Zone.

There, a pretty, adorable young girl was walking step by step towards him, stopping before the Ancient Emperor, slightly bowing in salute, saying: "Yu, salute the Sword Master."

Yu.

The current Chief Maiden of Tushan, an Emperor Realm cultivator, the current highest achiever in the Supreme Great Sun Maid Path, commander of the Tu Shan Maiden Corps for six million years.

Jiang Ding observed this adorable young girl closely.

From her face, he faintly remembered a very distant time, when there was also a girl named Yu, a Sword Cultivator practicing Taiyin Sword Dao.

But all of this has long been buried in the sands of time.

This person is ultimately not her, but an Emperor Realm Sword Cultivator whose sword talent and achievements far surpass hers, someone who achieved the Dao during the Immortal Dynasty’s glorious era.

"What is it, Yu."

Jiang Ding asked softly.

As the Chief Maiden of Tushan, without being summoned, they would never visit the Ancient Emperor proactively, even if they could never see the Ancient Emperor in their lifetime.

There should be some reason for coming this time.

"Sword Master,"

"In the post-Supreme Great Sun Era, where should the Tu Shan Maiden Corps stand?"

Yu gently inquired.

"Oh?"

Jiang Ding was surprised.

"Yes, Sword Master."

"Many forces are wooing the Tu Shan Maiden Corps, including Xianmen Sect, Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivators, Law Cultivators of the Star Sky Immortal Sects Holy Land, etc., all expressing much sincerity and many reasons."

Yu explained.

"Or,"

"Will you arrange for the Tu Shan Maiden Corps to collectively undergo ceremonial burial?"

Yu asked again.

The Forbidden Zone cannot let beings beneath the Emperor Realm enter eternal sleep, but ceremonial burial is possible. Historically, it’s common among Ancient Emperors; when they enter eternal sleep, they take everything in Dubhe with them—maidens, concubines, chefs, dancers, Refining Masters, Array Masters, etc., adorning their resting place.

Serving the dead as the living.

Besides, the Ancient Emperor hasn’t died, just entered eternal sleep, and instinctively wants to leave some familiar things around, with some attachment.

Yu looked at the Ancient Emperor with bright eyes.

Clearly, she harbors an enthusiasm towards the collective ceremonial burial by the Tu Shan Maiden Corps, seemingly seeing it as a supreme honor in practicing the Supreme Great Sun Maid Path.

This idea is mainstream among Tushan Maids.

"Ceremonial burial?"

"No ceremonial burial."

Jiang Ding flatly rejected their proposal.

"As for your stance after I leave? You decide."

"Decide based on your own thoughts."

Jiang Ding sighed lightly, saying: "The bond between Sword Master and maiden lies in my existence. After I leave, you, left in the Endless Starry Sky alone, should fully consider your interests, cultivation paths, and emotions to make your own decisions, rather than due to an instruction from someone in eternal sleep."

"Rights and obligations are two sides of the same coin."

"When I enter eternal sleep, you lose the rights, and simultaneously lose the obligation of loyalty—I will not be so selfish to restrain you again."

"Oh, I see."

Yu was a bit disappointed.

"We understand, Sword Master."

Yu stood up, bowed again in salute, then retreated and left the palace.

The Supreme Great Sun Celestial Pivot restored its quiet once more.

The time of the Endless Starry Sky flowed like water, unmanned warships, and Immortal Path robots flew continuously into the Forbidden Zone, busily preparing everything for the imminent departure along the Time River of the Forbidden Zone, putting everything in the starry sky aside.

In this situation, the nerves of many powerhouses in the Immortal Dynasty were tense, with undercurrents surging secretly.

In these times, the most noteworthy presence, of course, is the existence of the Great Sun Swordsman inheritors.

As Yue began to inherit, a group of Sword Dao geniuses followed their desires, opening the Great Sun Swordsman inheritance, receiving one of the Supreme Great Sun Dao Sword’s 108,000 sword embryos, stepping onto a cruel, terrifying, and bloody Great Sun Sword Dao.

Every moment, Great Sun Swordsman inheritors encounter each other and engage in fierce battles, where the victor survives, the defeated dies, and the victor devours the defeated’s sword embryo.

Alternatively, both may perish together or the victor might succumb to fire and demonic possession and die.

At this time, the sword embryo will return to the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, awaiting a new inheritor.

Each moment in the Endless Starry Sky, Great Sun Swordsman inheritors perish, or die from fire and demonic, battle defeat, or madness and fall executed by the Immortal Dynasty’s law enforcement. The death manners vary, strange and bizarre.

In these years, the number of dying Sword Cultivators each year is several million times more than those the Xianmen Sect nurtured during the Great Sun Swordsmen’s initial period!

The corpses of Sword Dao geniuses, pave the starry sky.

Yet despite this, Sword Dao geniuses continue their advance, facing death, voluntarily joining into the Great Sun Swordsman inheritance because it’s the pinnacle of Sword Dao in the Endless Starry Sky.

In the Endless Starry Sky, madness and the pursuit of Sword Dao dreams are never lacking.
