In the cultivation world, a strange phenomenon often appeared: the development of an entire region's immortal civilization depended wholly on one person.
It was that terrifying. At the pinnacle, a cultivator's mental processing power, store of knowledge, talent, and brilliance could exceed those of ordinary humans by hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of times.

"You're exaggerating, exaggerating."

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Lord thought for a moment, then agreed rather than arguing. "At the very least, the Immortal Sect's system played a major role in turning Jiang Ding's sudden burst of inspiration into a genuine prototype so quickly."
"Left to the Great Sun Sword Pavilion alone, they might not have managed it in five hundred years. They have plenty of talent for fighting and killing, but research talent..."
"I'm not looking down on them. Tie up the hands and feet of the Immortal Gate Academy of Sciences, gag its mouth, and let it move only its eyelashes. Even then, it would outdo the Great Sun Sword Pavilion at research and development."
"Hahaha!"
The Heavenly Lords around him burst out laughing.
"Don't exaggerate too much. They're a big organization with plenty of powerful people. You can't put them down like that... Leave the academy
