Chapter 1985: Chapter 1985

After Yun Ji left, the palace returned to silence.

Jiang Ding lowered his head, staring at the constantly rotating Talisman in front of him.

This Talisman was composed of countless tiny runes intertwined, containing limitless changes and infinite mysteries, constantly in flux. Every second one looked at it, a completely different result could be observed, with no two moments alike, like a string of randomly appearing runes.

Each tiny rune seemed to represent a rule: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, constellations, Sword Dao, Divine Dao, Earth Immortal Dao, the transformation of stars, the upheaval of earth... It seemed as if everything and every event in this Endless Starry Sky was reflected in this ever-changing Talisman.

This is the core of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Dynasty, a partial projection of the Ten Thousand Laws Original Ancient Talisman!

The true Ten Thousand Laws Original Ancient Talisman resides within the Emperor Heaven at the center of the Immortal Dynasty. It projects into each Great Thousand World, scanning and correcting data for the Endless Starry Sky Super Transmission Array, thereby maintaining the vast and immense rule of the Endless Starry Sky Immortal Dynasty.

Without the adjustment of this Ten Thousand Laws Original Ancient Talisman, no matter how many Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures or powerful beings you have, wanting to traverse the Endless Starry Sky for transmission is sheer delusion.

This is the foundation of the Immortal Dynasty.

However, in this era, after the disappearance of the Ten Thousand Laws Ancient Emperor, the Ten Thousand Laws Original Ancient Talisman also began to show deviations, and transmission often errors, no longer as precise.

Jiang Ding silently contemplated, comprehending the mysteries of the Ten Thousand Laws Original Ancient Talisman.

Honestly, it was too difficult, and there was little to gain.

Trying to deduce the true Immortal Dao Universe Constants formula from the ever-changing rules and data of the Endless Starry Sky is exceedingly difficult!

It’s as challenging as deducing the precise Material Universe Constants from various physical phenomena, almost dreamlike.

This incomplete Ten Thousand Laws Original Ancient Talisman further increases the difficulty, being another layer removed, far less clear than the true Ten Thousand Laws Original Ancient Talisman beside the True Immortal at the Emperor Heaven. Truly comprehending anything is utterly far-fetched.

However, for weak cultivators like them, any small insight, seeing the outline of the path ahead is a great opportunity, enough to influence a lifetime.

Jiang Ding silently contemplated, reviewing the insights of other Taoist disciples.

Unconsciously, his aura seemed to grow more harmonious, his connection with the world more intimate, seemingly closer to the true and precise Immortal Dao Universe Constants, meeting slightly less resistance in his actions.

This might be what many scriptures repeatedly mention as the ’Heavenly Dao’.

Aligning with the Heavenly Dao, calculating more precisely the Immortal Dao Universe Constants makes one less likely to encounter bottlenecks and easier to achieve success.

Time passed in research, cultivation, and contemplation.

Unconsciously, another thousand years passed.

On this day, the Joyous Union Holy Maiden, eyes bloodshot, face pale, hair disheveled, looking every bit like a living wage slave, feebly said, "The Yan Zi from You Yan Mansion have begun to infiltrate the upper levels of nearby Great Thousand Worlds, though far from the top, making top-secret intelligence inaccessible; however, some general starry sky information is known."

If someone saw what the Joyous Union Holy Maiden looked like now, they would surely be shocked.

Who is this woman who looks like a sloppy, untidy wage slave?

How does she slightly resemble the Joyous Union Holy Maiden?

This is absolutely impossible!

If a cultivator from the Hehuan Holy Land saw this person, they would instantly deny it, thinking the two only resemble each other, absolutely not the same person.

How could the Joyous Union Holy Maiden be sloppy and untidy?

Keep in mind, even in the face of imminent death, in life-or-death danger, with the next moment leading to demise, the Joyous Union Holy Maiden would maintain the most beautiful state, never changing.

This obsession can even be compared to life and death.

This is the Great Dao of the Hehuan Holy Land, an extreme obsession with beauty.

This person cannot possibly be the Joyous Union Holy Maiden!

"Has You Yan Mansion successfully infiltrated the upper echelons of cultivators in the surrounding Great Thousand Worlds?"

The equally languid Huang Huo Sword Son and others perked up, as if seeing a savior, their Divine Senses rushing over, extremely intrigued, as if they saw something very refreshing and interesting.

Jiang Ding furrowed his brow slightly, somewhat displeased.

In an instant, the efficiency of the Seven Taoist disciples processing various research data dropped by thirty percent!

Taking advantage of this moment, they drew away too much Divine Soul Computational Power!

Jiang Ding suppressed his displeasure, speaking calmly.

"In this era, the Fallen Realm remains within the Vermilion Bird Star Realm."

"The Vermilion Bird Star Realm is a massive Star Domain, located in the north of the Endless Starry Sky, with 297 Great Thousand Worlds. It is one of the ancient Human Race Star Domains, like the Beidou Star Domain and Southern Dipper Star Domain."

The Joyous Union Holy Maiden rubbed her head, which felt like splitting open, trying to slack off as she slowly explained, "In this era, the Beidou Holy Land is not the fragmented and divided Beidou Star Domain, which fell into the hands of the Divine Dao Demon Race in our time, but a super large Star Domain containing hundreds of Great Thousand Worlds."

She naturally digressed, trying to slack off into other areas.

However, she quickly received a warning glance from the Dari Swordsman.

"The current situation in the Endless Starry Sky is very clear, just as you predicted."

With some distress, the Joyous Union Holy Maiden quickly and briefly explained, "The Seven Kills Sword Son has seized the Seven Kills Star Domain and many nearby Star Domains, using the Immortal Dynasty’s Endless Starry Sky Transmission Array to gather a massive number of present-day Daoists and Dao Fruit Daoists to assault the Sun Divine Son situated in the Golden Crow Star Domain. The battle is fierce and has lasted over ten thousand years."

"The Vermilion Bird Star Realm is also within the vortex of battle, with many Taoist disciples of the Vermilion Bird Star Realm each leaning towards the Seven Kills Sword Son or Sun Divine Son, feigning submission, publicly adhering while privately opposing, observing, and so forth, leading to an extremely chaotic situation."

"Besides these two present-day Eighth Step Daoists, three other Eighth Step Daoists exist in this era, namely the Vermilion Bird Daoist, Beidou Daoist, and Hehuan Daoist... there may be more in secret, but it is unknown."

"For example, the Emperor and Empress’s sect, the Fusang Holy Land where the Ten Thousand Laws Ancient Emperor’s wife originated, might have an Eighth Step Daoist, but it is uncertain. This sect, though rich in heritage, has been declining for many years and did not arise during this historical period, being a very low-key, secluded sect about which no one knows the details."

"This is a very timid, cautious sect."

"That’s basically it."

"Are there so few Eighth Step Daoists?"

Jiang Ding was a little startled, somewhat questioning if he had heard incorrectly.

In the present world, he was only over 200th in the sequence for the Human Race Immortal Dao Reserve Monarch, implying that the Human Race has at least over 200 Eighth Step Daoists.

And that’s just the Human Race. How many does the entire Endless Starry Sky have?

In this era, the Human Race occupies almost all the territories of the Endless Starry Sky and has only a few Eighth Step Daoists?
