With so many rare treasures in his possession, Jiang Ding's first thought was to put them to use.
To a sword cultivator, leaving rare treasures unused and gathering mold in a warehouse was shameful—a terrible waste. No one did that unless they had hit a bottleneck and their Dao Path had been cut off entirely.
"First, build a Solar-System-Class Battleship."
Jiang Ding found a use for the treasures. "Investing in advanced heavy industry can greatly advance the Immortal Sect's industry, create jobs, and raise the level of its immortal-path sciences. In fact, the Immortal Sect can't truly begin building a Solar-System-Class Battleship yet. It can only make preliminary preparations."
"Only when large numbers of Divine Lords have reached Dao Integration and enough qualified high-level technicians have emerged will building one become possible. Otherwise, a crowd of Void Refining cultivators simply can't oversee a project of this scale."
"Besides, the Immortal Sect's Divine Lords need positions. Without them, they can't cultivate or progress."
"A Solar-System-Class Battleship is important to the Immortal Sect."
"Second, issue a low-interest loan to the Immortal Sect to build its Solar-System-Class flagship, the Free Immortal Sect."
Jiang Ding continued planning.
Although Yuan commanded the Free Immortal Sect, it belonged to every citizen of the Immortal Sect. It was an administrative vessel, not anyone's private warship, so its funding came from the Immortal Sect's public accounts.
"Third, continue research into eighth-tier sword arts, the smelting of eighth-tier sword-forging materials, and the Six Paths Reincarnation Structure to further strengthen my foundations."
Those three major investment projects would breathe life into the Immortal Sect's economy and smooth the Dao Paths of its many Divine Lords. The Great Sun Sword Lord would benefit too: the construction of his warship would gain many exceptionally skilled technical engineers.
Such investments were far better
