Chapter 1344: Chapter 1312: Xianmen Sect Stocks Soar, Citizens Strike It Rich

The Immortal Sect’s fleet of three hundred million citizens did not give up, patrolling various domains, targeting Great Experts of the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace, as well as vulnerable figures like the severely injured Great Experts of Pill Furnace and Shangqing Lingbao Sect.

No targets were discovered.

This wasn’t because these Great Experts had exceptional concealment techniques, evading all the Immortal Sect’s Harmonization-level scans.

This was simply because they fled far enough.

The domain starry sky is infinitely vast, with practically endless distances — as long as one keeps fleeing, keeps running, escaping the Horned Ming Realm into the desolate starry space beyond the domain, who could ever catch up?

Harmonization-level beings are already Star Field-level lifeforms, capable of surviving independently in the starry sky. Once they escape an enemy’s lock-on, they’re almost impossible to defeat.

If not for the presence of a Medium Thousand World within the Horned Ming Realm, crucial to their cultivation progress, even cultivators above the Harmonization realm would be helpless against them. Nearly infinite space obstructs all overwhelming power.

After inspecting the domain and confirming the Immortal Sect’s dominant control, the citizen fleet once again returned to the Nine Spirit Realm.

This realm will become the primary station of this Immortal Sect main fleet, and it will no longer easily reposition itself.

Besides its significant strategic importance, the foremost reason is the exceedingly favorable cultivation conditions here — several times superior to those of the Mother Star, with a significantly reduced difficulty in ascending to higher realms compared to the Mother Star.

For the near thousand years since the war, the Immortal Sect has reaped war dividends, birthing numerous Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarchs and nine Refining Void True Venerables. The existence of the Medium Thousand World is absolutely pivotal.

It’s no surprise why so many Great Experts were frantically competing for this place, willing even to risk their lives in battle — it’s not without reason.

Nonetheless, the Mother Star remains equally essential.

To this day, the “Citizen Law” makes it explicitly clear: only those born, raised, and having undergone legally mandated education on the Mother Star naturally possess citizenship. Otherwise, they are merely native lifeforms, including all beings in the Nine Spirit Realm, regardless of their aptitude.

“From now on, the most significant task is to massively upgrade the various Immortal Sect’s Immortal Path achievements.”

Yuan, full of ambition, announced to everyone: “With the Central Array Spirit Computer elevating to Harmonization-level, the Immortal Sect now possesses Harmonization-level computation power. Many research projects will experience a drastic reduction in difficulty, and remarkable progress in Immortal Path technology is imminent. A colossal breakthrough lies ahead. Everyone, do not miss this opportunity!”

“Cultivation methods, materials, planting techniques, breeding techniques, magic, treasure refining techniques… there are boundless possibilities.”

“There are Great Experts from Immortal Sects dissatisfied, believing that they, currently at the Harmonization Early Stage, will crush us with strength once they ascend to higher realms in the future. Their hopes lie ahead.”

“I believe they are completely mistaken!”

“With the collective efforts of all citizens, the progress of the Immortal Sect will far exceed everyone’s imagination!”

A short declaration swiftly stirred everyone’s anticipation.

“Harmonization-level computation power…”

Jiang Ding’s gaze also revealed a burning fervor.

This alone held immense significance for him, a qualitative shift in impact.

It meant unprecedented progress in the structural deduction of the Six Dao Reincarnation, in the “Universal Primordial Magnet Canon,” in Sword Escaping Techniques, in Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Skill, and in Golden Causality, as well as all cultivation methods and sword techniques profoundly influencing him. Their Immortal Path foundation would surge rapidly in the forthcoming period.

Simultaneously, the Immortal Sect stabilizing its foothold across the domain also signified an instantaneous explosion in Jiang Ding’s wealth by dozens of times!

To know, Jiang Ding did not merely own some Spirit Stones and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as fleeting fortunes.

Within the Immortal Sect, he possessed the Sword Dao Hall Group, a colossal corporate conglomerate spanning numerous industries. He held full shares in the Immortal Capital No.1 Great Sun Gold Factory and Netherworld No.2 and No.3 Great Sun Gold Factories, along with extensive other corporate shares acquired through angel investments or purchases from other Heavenly Monarchs over the years.

He also owned numerous patents, such as the Great Sun Enlightenment Dojo Technique patent, the full patent for the Great Sun Sword Pavilion Technique, and thousands of years of research yielding countless sword techniques, Sword Dao techniques, and Sword Dao material patents.

Additionally, there were cave mansions, commercial lands, countless Immortal Path towers…

Innumerable fixed assets and patent assets he couldn’t liquidate in the short term formed an overwhelming wealth, profoundly influencing every industry within the Immortal Sect.

The destinies of Immortal Sect cultivators and the Immortal Sect are intertwined, sharing both glory and disgrace, poverty and prosperity—not merely in rhetoric.

Not only Jiang Ding, but Yuan, Divine Machine True Venerable, Wanji True Venerable, and others were in similar circumstances. Time brought them not only cultivation base and mana growth but also immense surges in wealth.

These cultivators appeared as individuals, yet each of them was a supreme capital tycoon within the Immortal Sect!

Such individuals exerted influence so vast that there were repeated calls to implement “anti-monopoly laws” within the Immortal Sect, provoked by many citizens’ grievances.

But every proposed revision was mercilessly suppressed.

The cultivation world was never a sphere ruled by absolute egalitarian laws.

The strong within the Immortal Sect equally possess vast production capacity; one individual’s contribution equates to the production capacity of billions of mortals, naturally concentrating wealth toward them.

This is a physical law, and nobody can obstruct it.

Any attempt to forcefully blockade it would drive these strong individuals to betray the Immortal Sect.

Although equality of thought is emphasized within the Immortal Sect, co-prosperity has always been the priority—not blind and unconditional sacrifice of oneself. Those who fail to grasp the critical importance of interests to humanity will never earn high scores in thought and morality evaluations.

Moreover, what’s paramount is that the Immortal Sect requires the presence of top-tier powerhouses.

Without top-tier powerhouses, the Immortal Sect would inevitably perish—for example, now, without the ten Refinement Void-level powerhouses, the Immortal Sect would surely die out.

This is an objective demand posed by the hostile environment among domains.

Therefore, the Immortal Sect’s laws not only refrain from restricting these powerhouses from attaining wealth but instead encourage and support them in acquiring maximum wealth through lawful means. This is the Spirit Transformation Strategy of the Immortal Sect.

Of course, while the strong individuals’ interests matter greatly and must be safeguarded, so too do the citizens’ interests.

A balance must be struck between the two, a point agreeable to the majority, avoiding extremism—which excessively advocates any side’s interest—as it would lead to obliteration for all.

After all, the strong undoubtedly matter—be it the Great Sun Celestial Lord, Yuan, Wanji True Venerable, and others; their strength is indisputable.

Yet, compared to any Harmonization God Monarch, how do these ten rank?

Insignificant, like ants!

Why then do these ten not fear the Harmonization God Monarchs, even hunting them?

This is the role of hundreds of billions of citizens!

An irreplaceable role—the strong treating the weak with tolerance stems primarily not from compassion.

It’s because these hundreds of billions of citizens wield terrifying power—they are far from weak!

The broad base of Immortal Sect citizens has never needed the pity of any strong individual. The compassion and awakening of the strong have never been the foundation of the citizens’ existence; they themselves command destructive forces, never occupying a position of weakness.

If the strong refuse to comply,

attempting to overthrow the Immortal Sect’s order, their solitary fate is annihilation and death.
