Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Students entered the tree hole one by one.

”Has the school stockpiled enough spirit stones?”

Moments later, the Golden Pill Realm adviser of the second class came over with his students and communicated with Liu Xiong through voice transmission.

”This time we have the Taoist of Five Elements from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, a real Refining Nothingness candidate. The spirit stones consumed in his deductions are at least a hundred times that of others. Don’t run the school’s budget into the ground all at once.”

”Don’t worry.”

Liu Xiong assured him.

”Xianmen Sect made a big profit this time. They won’t be stingy with these spirit stones, and the Five Elements Heavenly Sect has agreed to reimburse us.”

”That’s good. Alas, if it weren’t for the contractual clause by the Central Array Spirit Computer to protect the Taoist of Five Elements, many of our predecessors would probably have had the thought of passing on their misfortunes. This, after all, is someone else’s Refining Nothingness candidate...”

The two waited quietly.

Suddenly, a wild wind rose, and the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi violently fluctuated, with massive amounts of almost liquefied Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi pouring into the area where the mainframe was located from the canopy layer. It took a long time to subside.

”Probably about 820,000 low-grade spirit stones worth.”

Liu Xiong frowned.

”Who is being so frugal with Xianmen’s spirit stones? Is Xianmen really that short on these stones?”

After a pause of more than ten minutes, the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi became restless again.

”One million eighty-six thousand spirit stones worth. Not bad, that’s more like it. Young people should learn to spend money.”

Liu Xiong finally nodded, satisfied.

”Who is this, going straight up to ten million spirit stones? Damn, you really know how to spend. Aren’t you afraid of bankrupting Xianmen?”

”Fifteen million, ten million, eight million... this year’s school budget is going to be tight...”

”One hundred and one... just above the standard line...”

The two Golden Pill individuals bantered, maintaining a dignified and composed demeanor on their faces, causing all the students in the second class to hold their breath, suppressing their anxious hearts.

Boom!

This time, it was a complete eruption of Spiritual Energy, with a massive influx of highly condensed Spiritual Energy flowing down from the canopy of the Divine Tree of Heaven, generating immense natural pressure.

If it hadn’t been blocked by the Central Array Spirit Computer, everyone present would have experienced mana disturbances and suffered from spitting blood due to their injuries.

Even now, with only a trickle escaping, it was enough to freeze one’s mana instantly, leaving one unable to breathe.

”It’s here.”

The two Golden Pilled individuals exchanged a look.

The highly condensed spiritual energy kept flowing without stopping for a full hour before it finally ceased.

”One hundred thirteen times!”

”Let me calculate, one billion one hundred thirty million spirit stones!”

”This is the goddamn Refining Nothingness candidate!”

”Fuck, why isn’t he from Xianmen? Our sect doesn’t even have a true Master of Refining Nothingness yet!”

Liu Xiong and the second-class adviser looked at each other, both seeing the envy in each other’s eyes.

Several hours went by once more.

Thunderous boom!

After a slight pause,

this time, the spiritual energy flood was practically exploding!

The thick canopy of the Divine Tree of Heaven trembled as it crazily absorbed cosmic starlight and radiation transformed into Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, all flowing into the base of the tree, causing a tsunami-like tidal wave of Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi.

Due to this event, spiritual energy pipelines all across Lanying Planet experienced extensive fluctuations, awakening many high-level cultivators in secluded cultivation, who then turned their gaze in this direction.

One hundred million low-grade spirit stones!

In a single breath, the amount surpassed this figure and continued to grow rapidly.

”Who is having their future deduced?”

”Or is it the Taoist of Five Elements who has made another breakthrough?!”

The two advisers’ expressions changed, both showing a serious look.

Even in their hearts, a hint of murderous intent began to grow.

The situation was immediately reported to the principal of Qingfeng University, Immortal Dinghai Zhang Zhen.

Two hundred million!

Three hundred million!

...

Nine hundred and ninety-nine million spirit stones!

Finally, it settled on this figure and stopped.

”Engaging in the highest secrecy of Xianmen, memory shielding initiated, to be automatically lifted after breaking through to Divinity Transformation. Do you agree?”

”If you do not consent, please lodge an appeal within one second.”

The voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer rang in their ears.

”Is this one of ours?!!”

The two rejoiced greatly.

”Could he grow up faster? I really suit becoming an ornament on his leg hair!”

”Agreed.”

In an instant, both of their eyes glazed over with confusion, returning to the state they were in before this event occurred, and the other students were similar.

”Ah, befitting the Taoist of Five Elements...”

...

In front of Jiang Ding,

A vast expanse of azure became as the sea.

The sky and earth were filled with dense, deep blue Sword Qi, the Sword Intent terrifying beyond measure.

Amidst the myriad of surrounding swords—

An apparition of a True Immortal cradling a sword materialized between heaven and earth; around him revolved myriad swords, with nine pitch-black pillars that pierced the heavens protruding from behind him, the nine dark chaotic holes faintly visible, exuding a fearful aura capable of slaughtering gods and exterminating immortals.

”This looks familiar...”

Jiang Ding’s heart shook.

”The stone platform that the ancestor master of the Qiyu Sect encountered by chance!”

”That’s definitely something exceptional, a great treasure. A mere stone platform managed to arrive at the same conclusion as the Central Array Spirit Computer did after exhausting a million Low-grade Spirit Stones.”

The difference lay in clearer details.

Jiang Ding looked towards one of the chaotic holes, where a message emerged.

’Destroying Golden Sword.’

There was only a name, nothing more.

He continued to look further down.

’Destroying Wooden Sword.’

’Destroying Water Sword.’

’Destroying Fire Sword.’

’Destroying Earth Sword.’

After viewing all five, another message appeared.

’Sword of the Five Elements Destruction!’

He kept looking.

’Sword of Time Destruction.’

’Sword of Space Destruction.’

When combined, a new epithet emerged.

’Sword of Time and Space Destruction!’

These were somewhat understandable, but the next one was incomprehensible.

’Sword of Cause Destruction.’

’Sword of Effect Destruction.’

’Sword of Causal Destruction!’

With time pressing,

Jiang Ding set aside his doubts and continued to look at the last point where information was emerging, next to that True Immortal, where each Flying Sword was smooth as a mirror and exceptionally sharp at the edge.

’Dyson Sun Mirror Sword Domain.’

This had some additional information, relatively detailed.

’Dyson Sun Mirror Fortress, comprising thirty-six fortresses, standard equipment for the Tiangang Orbital Army of Xianmen Sect, manned by four Divinity Transformation Cultivators and fifth-stage Array Masters, thirty-six Nascent Soul Monks and fourth-stage Array Masters, three thousand six hundred Golden Pill Monks and third-stage Array Masters, and three hundred and sixty thousand foundation-building cultivators and second-stage Array Masters.’

’The Central Array Spirit Computer at the core commands.’

’With this, it can contend with the power of Refining Nothingness.’

However, there was no specific cultivation method for this sword domain.

”Could you explain this?”

Jiang Ding asked.

”A potential future.”

The voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer transmitted.

”Nine swords, unknown—this is the result of unpredictable computations; it can’t be analyzed.”

”The Dyson Sun Mirror Sword Domain, in the future, may evolve from the Dyson Sun Mirror Fortress defensive system of Xianmen Sect, requiring later generations to research and create it.”

”That’s putting a lot of faith in someone.”

Jiang Ding gave a wry smile.

The Dyson Sun Mirror Fortress defensive system of Xianmen Sect!

That was the culmination of sacrifices from countless predecessors over tens of thousands of years, the gathered wisdom of exceptional talents, the results of incessant computations by the Central Array Spirit Computer across numerous years.

A single individual, so insignificant, how could he possibly compare?

”Now selecting a suitable Cultivation Method for you.”

The Central Array Spirit Computer paid no further attention to him and continued its programmed operation. Myriad phantom phenomena flashed by—a great sun traversing the sky, the myriad stars, electromagnetic martyrdom explosions, the intertwining of the yin and yang, the dispersing of Chaos Qi, and so on—each different from the last.

Finally, it settled on three phenomena.

A great sun plummeted from the sky, annihilating the plane, as Sword Qi erupted, incinerating the last remnants of the plane’s barrier;

An electromagnetic network of fine threads covered the entire planet, extending into the starry sky, boundless;

All three hundred sixty celestial bodies shone at once, transforming into three hundred sixty swords in the starry sky standing tall, with Chaos Qi pervading the Sword Formation, causing the collapse of vast star regions with a mere flick.

”You have three suitable Cultivation Methods...”
