I attained immortality in the real world.

The words are not surprising and die endlessly.

Modern people are unable to ascend to immortality; the path to eternal life is severed.

It should have caused a huge stir like a depth charge, but the cultivators didn't react much.

The logic is simple: if the path of ascension is truly blocked, the Tailfire Laboratory has long since shifted to other directions and will not waste any more energy on ascension experiments. Why bother extracting memories and insights from the exiled immortal experimental subjects?
The so-called inability of modern people to ascend to heaven simply means that replicating the ancient path to ascension is impossible; modern people have their own ways to ascend.

Furthermore, Tailfire Laboratory has likely come a long way in this direction and is very, very close to achieving immortality, perhaps even within the next month.

"Buzz!"

After a brief silence, someone in the primordial realm released research data on ascension techniques, followed by a second, a third, and a fourth, converging into a terrifying stream of information.

The source of the information is other laboratories that focus on ascension research. Apart from the core laboratory data, all ascension-related data is made public, allowing others to analyze, deduce, and cross-verify from other perspectives.

Chen Jing also collected the data. Although his own research was not on ascension, it was still sufficient for verification.

Based on ascension-related data and analyzed from a historical perspective, the Myriad Spirits quickly concluded: [Xu Chang's ascension to Lu Lun, probability based on accurate data: 98%.]

[Includes ancient theories of ascension, and contributes to the historical narrative: +1%.]

A 2% difference means that the data may have slight discrepancies or may have been slightly altered.

The fact that the construction progress of the historical river increased by 1% made Chen Jing extremely happy. This 1% refers to the 1% increase in the progress of each era.

"........."

The others also received their results quickly.

Regardless of whether one uses feng shui, qimen, dynasties, culture, or religion, the results are largely the same.

As messages scrolled through the Metaverse information layer, the free exchange of over a thousand people was far more efficient than simulating voice dialogues, and there was no chaotic situation where each other would interfere with the others.

[I couldn't find any flaws in Xu Chang's ascension theory; the Nine Transformations Lab is finished!]

[The release of the core theory of ascension by Tailfire has a tremendous attraction for talents in this research field. It's like lighting a lamp for travelers groping in the dark, helping them recognize the wrong paths under their feet, find the direction forward, and naturally attract them like moths to a flame.]

[More than that, all laboratories centered around the ascension project will face problems such as talent loss and resource shortages. Is there still a chance for a comeback?]

The moment the core theory of ascension was publicly announced, it meant that the Tailfire Laboratory was confident that it could break through the ascension barrier in a short time, leaving no room for others to catch up.

From this point on, the Tailfire Laboratory was no longer on the same level as other laboratories; it was already taking shape as a behemoth like Tianyuan Group or Lunar Palace Technology.

The strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker. Ascending to the laboratory now faces two choices: either submit to the Tailfire Laboratory and lose their autonomy, or perish in silence.

[We agreed to share knowledge in exchange for approval ratings, but Xu Chang is using this opportunity to stir up trouble and get us to endorse his statements. What a cunning scheme!]

This is not normal. Cultivators are adept at creating and utilizing rules, but they find it very difficult to follow them.

Achieving a goal only means breaking even; achieving two goals simultaneously is true profit. Cultivators need 200% efficiency.

The stage is set up for us, so what kind of opera we perform is completely out of our control…

"..." Xu Chang was also browsing the information, the information from the Tailfire Laboratory.

During the cultivators' deduction and verification, many people sent letters to the Tailfire Laboratory, and many talents in the field of consciousness research expressed their desire to join the Tailfire Laboratory.

As for those who are willing to invest hundreds of millions of dollars just for a chance to ascend to immortality, their information is selectively ignored.

With the power gathered, the Tailfire Laboratory will surely obtain the authority of the God of Heaven. With the resources available through this authority, crossing the final hurdle of ascension will not be difficult.

Once the Tailfire Laboratory Ascension Project is launched, one can become the third God. As for the personal information of the first two Gods, it is unknown, but their deeds are very clear.

The one who led the integration of the spiritual world and the virtual world at Tianyuan Group, and the one with the Moon Palace Biological Derivative Gene Optimization Fluid.

Xu Chang said, "Once the Azure Heaven Realm is completed, Tailfire is confident that he can complete the ascension experiment. With the help of the Eternal Immortal experimental subject providing insights, he can succeed in at most ten experiments."

"Fellow Daoists, if your lifespan is nearing its end, you may come to Wei Huo and try to ascend."

"Of course, fellow Daoists with abundant lifespans are also welcome to come. After all, no matter what era we are in, the number of immortals we can accommodate is limited. First come, first served."

Xu Chang not only wants to recruit researchers, but also test subjects. This is indeed very attractive to cultivators who are nearing the end of their lifespan, since this is the path with the highest probability of ascension. So what if they become test subjects?

"........."

Eternal Laboratory, Base.

Three researchers wearing Tailfire Laboratory uniforms walked through the gate and brought their equipment to the life support module where the experimental subject was located.

Xu Chang proactively introduced: "The Tailfire Memory Extraction and Perception Instrument is based on Tianyuan Group's Jade Slip Technology, and was jointly developed by the Fang Ri, Jiao Mu, and Xin Yue laboratories."

"First, a biomimetic microcurrent is activated, which is then precisely stimulated by an intelligent sprite to revive the residual memories in the experimental subject's brain and to carry spiritual insights using the core that carries the celestial realm."

"If it cannot be described in words or recorded in writing, then let it be carried in a spiritual world, so as to complete the transmission of spiritual insights from heart to heart."

Fang Xin looked at the jade artifact at the core of the instrument and asked, "The celestial realms opened by ancient cultivators are limited, and the artifacts that can support those realms are also limited. Is it too wasteful to only record a spiritual insight?"

Xu Chang had been waiting for someone to ask this question, and he replied, "There's one more thing I almost forgot to mention! This Celestial Core was made using modern technology."

Chen Jing also looked at the fist-sized jade stone. If it was an artifact left behind by an ancient cultivator who had created the world, the jade slip technology was not worth paying attention to at all.

However, if jade is artificially manufactured, or even mass-produced, its significance is extraordinary.

Through mind-to-mind transmission, a Buddha can create hundreds of Bodhisattvas and thousands of Arhats, only their potential is limited.

The cultivators were also startled. One of them said slowly, "It seems that Tailfire has indeed gone a long way on the path of ascending to immortality in the modern world. It is not far from restoring the Creation Method."

The objects that carry the celestial realm need to be offered to the state. It is not that only the emperor can manufacture them, but at least a high-ranking official, a rebellious small regime, or even a local pope can do it.

In just three to five minutes.

The Tailfire Laboratory completed the extraction of spiritual insights.

Xu Chang gave everyone a link and said, "Each of you will receive a token to read this jade slip. Fellow Daoists, you can all access the spiritual insights of the banished immortal through the Daoist temple." (End of Chapter)
