Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

The counselors of Xianmen Sect continued to inspect and test this initial model of the Constant Star Warship, discovering many flaws that had not been identified in earlier simulation calculations and gradually correcting them.

According to the project chief engineer, Divine Machine True Venerable's estimation, these defects could be fully rectified within a maximum of five hundred years.

By that time, the true Xianmen Constant Star Warship will emerge.

"The Xianmen Executive Battleship is definitely going to be upgraded, funded by the Xianmen Treasury."

"Jiang Ding,"

Divine Machine True Venerable inquired, "Would you like to place an order for a Constant Star Warship? Xianmen's current production capacity is entirely sufficient to build two Constant Star Warships."

"Additionally, your Constant Star Warship should be customized to better match your combat style, and the army formation systems should be adapted. The factory sections, living areas, etc., on the Death Starship need to be arranged with your required sword refining array and other setups, which will need to be discussed in a shipbuilding preparation meeting in advance."

For a long time, the Great Sun Sword Master's warship has been funded by his personal savings.

This differs from ships funded by the Xianmen Treasury, as the warship is completely privately owned and not like Yuan's, where the Free Immortal Sect is actually an executive ship of Xianmen, not private property of any individual.

In theory, if Yuan steps down as an executive, he cannot take the Free Immortal Sect with him; it must be handed over to the next executive.

And a Constant Star Warship!

Its value is incalculable, its industrial chain is lengthy, the processing procedures complex, utilizing countless first to seventh-rank Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures, nearly equal in weight to a planet, and can conservatively create ten million direct Immortal Tao Industry jobs, particularly high value-added positions for housing Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transformation Void Refinement cultivators.

The indirect jobs created number at least in the tens of billions.

Moreover, these are not ten or a few decades worth of positions, but high-welfare positions spanning thousands of years across multiple generations of citizens, significantly promoting internal employment and potentially advancing numerous aspects of Immortal Science and technology.

Relying on these high-welfare positions might even give rise to countless Divinity Transformation and Refining Nothingness cultivators, further strengthening the Immortal Sect Fleet.

This is the fundamental reason for Xianmen's vigorous development of advanced Immortal Tao industry.

It truly offers great benefits, impacting the lifelong Dao path of many citizens.

"Yes."

"Currently, the situation in the Black Mist Star Sea of the Ancient Divine Path is not looking good, and I feel a profound unease. The Super Warship Great Sun should advance to the Constant Star Level as soon as possible."

Jiang Ding, meeting the expectant gaze of Ship Spirit Cloud Day, said, "I will deposit the down payment for the first phase of shipbuilding in the business account of Lianyun Airport within three years. As for the shipbuilding preparation committee, you'll have to consult with my main body. My Divine Soul Computation Power cannot sustain such calculations."

Constant Star Warship.

Even for him, the cost of shipbuilding is too high, unable to prepay the full amount, exceeding the limit of working capital.

However, the shipbuilding period is at least going to span seven to eight thousand years, so the payment pressure is not high, because his numerous industries and various patents are constantly generating wealth.

"Impressive,"

"You kid, you're generous!"

Divine Machine True Venerable praised with a joyous expression.

As the warship chief engineer, he has many students and peers under him to support in their cultivation and pursuit of the Dao path, and naturally must consider their interests, which significantly benefits the entire Xianmen economy.

For himself, participating in the design and construction of a Constant Star Warship is an excellent practical opportunity for his own advancement to Harmonization, akin to the ancient sect cultivators 'entering the world to experience and enlighten the Dao,' a process of comprehending the Immortal Dao, significantly aiding in future advancement to the Harmonization stage.

There will certainly be ample compensation in terms of Spirit Stones, Heavenly Materials, and Earthly Treasures.

All of this can only be afforded by Xianmen's number one affluent Great Sun Sword Master, providing a boost to the economy beyond Xianmen's treasury.

Indeed,

Great Sun Sword Master has now far surpassed Yuan, becoming Xianmen's foremost magnate!

In Xianmen, strength equates to Immortal Path Technology Research and Development capabilities, which correlate with the ability to amass wealth. The Great Sun Sword Master possesses the power to suppress the entire Xian Sect, naturally excelling in wealth creation, to a terrifying degree.

In some instances, the deposits the Great Sun Sword Master adds to the Xianmen Central Bank in a year exceed the financial revenue governed by Xianmen's Ministry of Finance!

Viewing these separately, they resemble the treasuries of two Quasi-Heavenly Level forces, rather than a personal savings account.

Now, the funds from this Quasi-Heavenly Level 'treasury' are about to flow into Xianmen's various employment positions, posing a significant boon, and further binding mutual interests, a hundred times more reliable than any alliance treaty, immediately reassuring nearby Xianmen Void Refining cultivators.

"We'll be busy again soon."

Wanji True Venerable commented with a smile.

No matter how mad someone might be, they can't do anything nefarious while their warship is still under construction, right?

Moreover, regarding Xianmen's Great Sun Sword Master, who surpasses 99.9999% of Xianmen cultivators in thought and morality, his political stance is utterly reliable.

They participate simply due to habitual interest binding.

This is their habit, as well as Jiang Ding's own habit.

Everyone constantly upholds the Xianmen system, enhancing the connections between each other rather than depleting them, even when mutual sentiments have become deeply intertwined.

The deeper and more intimate the relationship, the more it must be maintained.

It's not because of good relations or deep feelings that one's interests can be sacrificed.

Nor is it right to show a deferential smile outwardly and then unleash a bad temper or casual insults internally.

This is incorrect.

...

Time flows by, unnoticed, a millennium passes.

Demon Heaven Domain, Sun Observation Platform.

On this day, Jiang Ding awoke from cultivation and sword refining, abruptly looking towards the Ancient God Black Mist Star Sea before him, his unease growing stronger.

Before him, the Black Mist Star Sea churned incessantly, with monstrous waves rising and falling, its internal rules erratically shifting, losing the past tranquil depth, resembling an awakening ancient beast, rapacious murderous intent and emotions beginning to manifest, continuously changing celestial phenomena.

"Finally,"

"Elder Ancient God, your trap, is it about to reveal itself?"

Jiang Ding coldly whispered.

A spark of inspiration appeared in his mind.

The various data continuously recorded over these millennia on the Sun Observation Platform, the data of rule changes, basic spiritual energy particle changes, the legacies within the Ancient Divine Path, and the mysteries of Six Paths of Reincarnation... all these texts emerged in his sea of consciousness, rapidly calculated and deduced.

At a certain moment, a spark of spiritual light emerged.

"Reincarnation!"

"Rebirth and resurgence..."

Jiang Ding suddenly felt a pang in his heart, imagining a terrifying conjecture.

If this conjecture is true, this Ancient God Ancestor Master, heir to the Endless Starry Sky Dominator Human Clan, even in just a state of resurgence, has precisely targeted Xianmen's deadly weakness, and is attacking it.

Now the only question is, to what extent has the Ancient God Ancestor Master succeeded?

Will Xianmen fall?

Jiang Ding suddenly felt panic in his heart.

Subsequently, this panic quickly hit rock bottom, his eyes becoming burning crimson, birthing a violent and frenzied killing intent.

"Such a formidable enemy,"

"If this is indeed the case... Xianmen will not perish!"

Jiang Ding coldly whispered, "Even if the entire Xianmen is annihilated, as long as I live, I will certainly rebuild Xianmen and restore the citizens' order."

"This Ancient God elder cannot destroy Xianmen."
