Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 876 - 845 Breakthrough in First-order Immortal Dao Ecosystem Research

Qingfeng University's science and engineering building, Great Sun Relic Laboratory.

The dim sky, clouds full of radiant dust, enormous craters resembling glazed work, and sword marks fraught with residual Sword Intent that could easily split tens of kilometers of the ground.

This was a part taken from the Great Sun Sword Pavilion's gateway that recorded the tragic war of that year.

Jiang Ding walked among them, occasionally stopping, pausing over a sword mark, deep in thought, then moving on to the next one.

From now on, he might have to live in the Great Sun Relic Laboratory for a few years.

There was a lot to do: train graduate students and doctoral candidates of this major, lead urgent excavation and research work until Wu Mengsha or someone else advanced to Nascent Soul and took over the position of professor for the Great Sun Relic Major.

"Mentor,"

"Professor, what should we do next..."

After an indefinite period, more than a hundred Golden Pill Monks and several thousand Foundation-building cultivators appeared before Jiang Ding, bowed, and asked.

These were the students and staff of the Xianmen Great Sun Relic Major.

And this was just a small fraction. In the original gateway of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion and various research bases, in various logistical places, when you add up Golden Pills, Foundation-builders, and Qi Practitioners, there are hundreds of thousands, essentially stronger than any top Nascent Soul Sect.

"Continue with Immortal Chengyang's research plan and steadily progress with all tasks," Jiang Ding said, looking up at them, his gaze lingering especially on a few bewildered students from the Foundation Establishment undergraduate program.

These recent graduates, most of whom came from top Xianmen institutions like Qingfeng University, Beidou University, Mulan University, were very promising youths.

After years of development and financial investment, the Great Sun Relic Major was no longer a niche field but an extremely popular one. Cultivators within were offered top-tier treatment and prospects, naturally attracting many talented individuals.

As for these new students...

After considering for a moment and looking through the work guidelines left by Zhang Junsheng, Jiang Ding said, "Liu Ping, take them with you to get familiar with our daily tasks. Follow Immortal Chengyang's plan for cultivating postgraduates, and if you encounter any difficulties, come to me."

Immortal Liu Ping was the best at training students according to the suggestions left by Zhang Junsheng.

"Yes, Professor."

Liu Ping nodded, taking charge of these fresh undergraduate graduates, the Foundation-building cultivators.

"Everyone's tasks will carry on as usual."

"Having just met all of you, it wouldn't be right not to offer something..."

Jiang Ding gestured grandly: "Let's start with a year's worth of allowances and salaries."

"I hope everyone will work even harder and more diligently from here on, and unearth more techniques from the Great Sun Sword Pavilion for Xianmen.

I will double the rewards set by Xianmen, and if key results are achieved, there will be even more rewards. Nascent Soul opportunities are also available."

"That's all, I wish everyone the best of luck on the Immortal Path."

One year of salary and allowances!

Doubled performance rewards!

Nascent Soul opportunities!

These three bombshells came down instantaneously, leaving everyone in the major dazed as if they were in a dream.

"Thank you, Professor!"

"Thank you, Mentor!"

Liu Ping and the others were incredibly grateful, thanking him repeatedly.

This professor of the Great Sun Relic Major seemed to be richer and much more generous than the previous one!

The place was bathed in scintillating gold, an overwhelming aura of a super-rich tycoon hitting everyone at once, causing them to lose their senses.

"Get to work."

"If you have any difficulties, come find me."

Jiang Ding waved them off.

"Yes!"

The crowd dispersed one after another, bustling about, some leading, some researching, mainly excavating pieces of broken jade slips, chapters, and heritage jade stones from the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, and then restoring them.

Not just physically restoring them.

If some fragments are really lost and can't be found, we must find a way to complete them, obtaining the complete magic, swordsmanship, cultivation methods, treasure refining, and alchemy inheritances, and then hand them over to the Xianmen Sect for rewards.

The primary work in the Great Sun Relic Major is basically this.

In fact, the laboratory here is not the main research site; it's the ruined gate of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion.

That area is shrouded in intense radiation from forbidden weapons, spells used by great experts to annihilate boundary walls and the surfaces of Minor Thousand Worlds, as well as terrifying Sword Qi and Sword Intent, making it extremely dangerous. One must wear special treasures to enter.

If significant discoveries are made, one might even need to request the assistance of the Xianmen Starry Sky Troops to delve deeper.

"Damn it, I can't get out..."

Jiang Dingyi became very frustrated just thinking about it, as his research was severely delayed.

Otherwise, the research progress in the Great Sun Relic Major would have been much faster.

In the Outer Realm, a Master of Refining Nothingness would certainly find a way to kill him.

The Xianmen Starry Sky Troops couldn't possibly provide constant personal protection, as they have their own front lines to hold. The long and uncertain nature of research and exploration meant that he could not travel, only study the items others brought into the Xianmen Sect, unable to investigate in person, which limited the outcomes.

While cultivating, Jiang Dingyi also devoted part of his Divine Sense to handle various matters in the Great Sun Relic Major.

Time, without realizing it, had passed another three years.

One day, Jiang Dingyi awoke from his cultivation and opened his eyes.

"Jiang Ding, come to the Golden Palace. The two First-order Immortal Dao Ecosystems you brought have shown some research results,"

the voice of Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch came from his mobile phone.

Decades after the war had ended, he had once again become an old scholar at the Xianmen Science Institute, gentle and refined, no longer bearing the demeanor of a stern commander.

"Yes, senior, I'll be right there!"

Jiang Dingyi's spirits lifted.

The First-order Immortal Dao Ecosystem from Zhong Yuanzi included various Mortal Stage and First-order plants and animals, while the First Order Ghost Dao Ecosystem from Shadow Demon Dao Disciple contained all sorts of malicious ghosts.

Both had brought him many speculations before, suggesting a connection to Refining Nothingness, similar to the space between his brows.

Standing up, he tore through space and flew off into the distance.

In a matter of minutes, Jiang Dingyi traversed a vast distance to arrive at the Immortal Capital Library, where he queued up to enter, eventually reaching the inner depths of the Golden Palace.

Jiang Dingyi swept his gaze around.

Dozens of Heavenly Monarchs and some Immortals of Nascent Soul were present.

Some were newly advanced Heavenly Monarchs like Pingyang Heavenly Monarch and Niri Heavenly Monarch, while others were familiar faces like Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch, Heavenly Monarch Wanji, and Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch.

Among these familiar faces, some were no longer with them, having died on the Refinement Void Battlefield, their ten thousand years of lifespan reduced to nothing.

Jiang Dingyi briefly suppressed the sorrow in his heart and quickly approached Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch.

Every high-level cultivator harbors a past they are reluctant to revisit, hidden in the deepest recesses of their heart.

"Look at these two,"

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch took out the two sets of ecosystems from Zhong Yuanzi and Shadow Demon Dao Disciple.

Surrounding Heavenly Monarch Wanji, Yuan Deng, and others looked on with interest.

They were all highly attentive to anything related to Refining Nothingness and deeply involved in the research.

"This one is a First-order Immortal Dao Ecosystem, and the other is a First Order Ghost Dao Ecosystem."

"The common point is that they are both able to maintain themselves for a very long time without drawing in external Spiritual Energy, at least ten thousand years or more, which is nearly eternal compared to the lifespan of a Golden Pill Monk; these are truly remarkable works."

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch gave these two items an extremely high evaluation, and his praise was generous. He did not belittle them for being composed of Mortal Stage and First-order beings with weak strength.

"What's even more terrifying is,"

"Our research has discovered that these two First-order ecosystems, if continually nurtured by a dedicated refiner, who absorbs and exhales Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi as well as the essence of sun and moon, will continue to evolve and expand."

"First-order, Second Order, Third Rank, Fourth Order, Fifth Order, and even... Sixth Order, becoming Refining Void Stage Immortal Tao Ecosystems!"

"This process is so much like advancing to Refining Nothingness!"

The hearts of the surrounding Heavenly Monarchs shook.
