CHAPTER 1654: CHAPTER 1622: REFINING VOID LATE STAGE

After meeting with the Great Sun Sword Master and receiving his unequivocal guarantee backed by his Sword Heart, the Taoist disciples of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, along with some core disciples, formally surrendered to the Xianmen Sect.

Similar to the Youming Sword Cave Heaven, they will possess a special domain where the military, diplomacy, and education will be under the guidance of the Xianmen Sect. Aside from this, the Eight Great Immortal Sects will have all other powers.

In exchange, the Eight Great Immortal Sects pledged allegiance to the Xianmen Sect and submitted the inheritance they possessed.

This is a tremendous fortune!

The political credibility that the Xianmen Sect has adhered to for countless years has finally been rewarded at this moment.

Were it like the Ancient God Ancestor Master, even if they were exterminated, it would be impossible to obtain Upper Realm inheritance. The inheritors of Upper Realm Immortal Sects, even if defeated, have no problem destroying their own inheritance.

Even with seizing, one would never hope to gain complete Immortal Sect inheritance.

This enormous wealth of knowledge instantly shook the Xianmen Sect and immediately convened the highest level Immortal Dao scientific meeting; no one felt that trading a domain for this was a loss.

"We’re getting rich!"

"The foundation of the Immortal Dao in the Xianmen Sect has instantly surged eightfold! Eightfold!"

Wanji True Venerable excitedly said, "This is a complete inheritance that can directly reach the peak of Heavenly Human, involving artifact refining, spiritual plants, formation methods, talismans, incense, beast taming, alchemy... covering almost all aspects!"

"Among them, although we do not favor the Xuanwu incense path, its research value is significant. At the very least, it helps us avoid being harmed by incense in the future."

"The scientific and technical disciplines of the Immortal Dao in the Xianmen Sect are about to see a major breakthrough!"

Wanji True Venerable asserted.

With the absorption of the Eight Great Immortal Sects’ inheritance, such scientific technological breakthroughs are almost predestined.

"In the coming millennia, our focus will certainly be on absorbing and integrating the inheritance of the Eight Great Immortal Sects."

Yuan exclaimed.

"In just three thousand years, our alchemy industry, artifact refining industry, shipbuilding industry, and all aspects will see significant improvements, with the cost of various industrial products decreasing and their quality improving.

Every citizen will benefit, obtaining better elixirs and treasures, yet spending fewer spirit stones."

"Based on this, the cultivation base of Xianmen Sect citizens and the number of powerful figures will undoubtedly see a surge."

"Finally, the strength of the citizen fleet will undergo earth-shattering changes."

"Haha!"

"But that’s not all."

Divine Machine True Venerable laughed and said, "With the inheritance of the Eight Great Immortal Sects as a reference, the development progress of our solar system-level warships, eighth-rank cultivation methods, eighth-rank Central Array Spirit Computer, and eighth-rank military formations will all accelerate significantly.

Many original scientific challenges are instantly resolved because the sages of the Eight Great Immortal Sects have encountered similar challenges long before and have already overcome them; all we need to do is follow suit."

"Remember, starting from Yuan, when Xianmen Sect’s sages served as servants and didn’t even have Golden Pill Monk, could they have imagined today?"

"Now, the dreams of the predecessors have already been realized."

Divine Machine True Venerable sighed.

Everyone, each saying a word, felt immense emotions amid excitement.

"Esteemed predecessors,"

"The grand ceremony for the Millennium Hero Monument is approaching; should we organize it extravagantly?"

The Bone Forest Venerable suggested, "The ancestors of the Youming Sword Cave Heaven and the Eight Great Immortal Sects should be listed on the Hero Monument, enjoying incense sacrifices, which will help dissolve resistance from the Eight Great Immortal Sects and enhance a sense of belonging."

"After all, regardless of positions, those who contributed to the Immortal Dao science in history deserve our respect."

"Because we inherited the legacies left by the human predecessors of the past."

The Bone Forest Venerable, a figure once called ’Gulin’ by the outside world, upon advancing to the Refining Nothingness Realm and honing this realm for nearly ten thousand years, finally ascended to the Immortal Sects Political Council, becoming one of the nine major councillors of the Xianmen Sect three hundred years ago.

"Agreed."

"This is good."

Jiang Ding agreed wholeheartedly upon hearing this: "The sages of the Eight Great Immortal Sects have no enmity with us; at that time, the Xianmen Sect hadn’t even appeared in the Nine Spirits Realm."

"The grudges and resentments of the past have dissipated with time, leaving only the splendid crystallization of Immortal Dao scientific wisdom in the world."

The Human Race is such a group.

Despite being extremely brutal in internal conflict, undying and unyielding, even the deepest hatred fades with time as both parties die, yet the crystallized wisdom of the Immortal Dao continues, developing through generations, benefiting the entire Human Race.

"Hahaha, indeed."

"Immortal Dao scientists who achieved great results, even from enemy nations, are respected, not to mention they’ve been dead for many years."

Yuan laughed aloud.

Everyone briefly discussed some political matters and then quickly immersed themselves in digesting and integrating the knowledge heritage of the Eight Great Immortal Sects.

A reality has become apparent.

Several thousand years later, the Xianmen Sect and everyone present will undoubtedly experience substantial growth in Immortal Dao foundation, as the Immortal Dao legacy and wisdom from the Ten Great Immortal Sects of the Nine Spirits Realm, Ancient Divine Domain’s Devil God Sect, Alliance of Ten Thousand Clans, and all other forces begin to integrate within an exceptionally efficient Immortal Dao collective civilization.

This integration is certain to give rise to something entirely new, far surpassing anything from the past.

...

Time flies like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, three thousand years have passed.

On this day, at the center of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, endless light and Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi gathered ceaselessly, a process that has lasted for hundreds of years, and finally today, a terrifying aura has progressed further, its presence growing significantly.

After a long time, the light dissipated, leaving a colossal Sun God Wood standing between heaven and earth.

"Refining Void Late Stage."

"Reached calmly and without any ripples."

Jiang Ding opened his eyes.

He conducted an inner view of himself, discovering that over two-thirds of his Mana in the Elixir Field was filled, with only a small portion remaining to be completely full.

"Around ten thousand years away from the Peak of Void Refinement."

"At that time, I can break through to the Harmonization stage; it will certainly be achieved, with no bottlenecks, no surprises."

Jiang Ding whispered.

Despite the greatness of the achievement, a heavenly ambition sought by countless Refining Void Cultivators, his voice was somewhat cold, somewhat reluctant, and... tinged with a deep, red desire for slaughter.

After multiple adjustments to the Rule Nirvana success rate, through constant rule comprehension, experimentation, scientific advancement, and digestion of Eight Great Immortal Sects inheritance over three thousand years, its success rate greatly improved, reaching 80.7%.

Yet!

A 100% achievement still seems a distant prospect.

Jiang Ding began to feel uneasy, realizing his previous estimates might have been too optimistic.

The micro-adjustments in Rule Nirvana for Refining Void, although seemingly trivial for Heavenly Man, represent the pinnacle of Immortal Dao scientific achievement!

Do not underestimate this as merely a phenomenon within the Refining Void Realm; historically, it likely represents a great achievement developed by an entire sect’s effort in the Upper Realm Immortal Sect.

Even with many inheritance reference materials available in the Xianmen Sect, success within ten thousand or even tens of thousands of years may remain elusive.

In extreme cases, if unlucky, he may need to enter dormancy to resist the passage of time, waiting for the successful development of micro-adjustment Rule Nirvana.
