Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Third-order Low-grade Soul Calming Symbol.

Its function is to leave a breath of life during soul searching, usually used by the Xianmen Sect when dealing with important prisoners.

”Wait until Qiyu Sect and Tushan Monster Country turn against each other to kill him,”

Jiang Ding muttered to himself, ”King Kong Que assassinated the sect’s Golden Pill monk, devoured the Golden Pill, and then found a place to go into seclusion. It is very reasonable for a Golden Pill monk to close off for a breakthrough for over a dozen years.”

”As for me, it’s also very reasonable that I wasn’t at the Lanshan Spirit Mine and escaped that disaster.”

”Don’t believe me?”

”Then there’s nothing I can do, believe it or not.”

”If it weren’t for the continuous output of Gray Iron Stones and Mercury Silver Magical Gold from the Lanshan Spirit Mine, I wouldn’t even want to use this Third-order Low-grade Soul Calming Symbol.”

A moment later,

the Peacock Demon King, with a talisman affixed to his forehead, showed a color of painful struggle, his Divine Soul about the size of a thumb twisted incessantly, changing colors unpredictably, and it took a long time to stop.

The peacock’s soul body was almost scattered, filthy beyond measure, the consciousness within had long disappeared, but it still maintained the aura of foundation building, with no change in quantity.

The light of the Superior Soul-searching Symbol flashed a pale blue as it detached itself.

”The Soul Calming Symbol is quite effective.”

Jiang Ding praised, placed the consciousness-dispersed Divine Soul of the peacock into a box, reinforced the seal, threw it into the center of the second-order Golden Knife Formation, and paid it no more attention.

Divine Sense touched the Soul Searching Talisman.

Frames of scenes flashed by rapidly in the sea of consciousness, just pure memories, like watching a movie, without affecting one’s own sea of consciousness.

”...The Five-Colored Peacock Clan, over seven hundred years old, a Golden Pellet Realm lifespan of over a thousand years, enviable...”

”...Within the Tushan Monster Country, owning a small nation as a livestock pen, breeding over ten million mortals for food, command over dozens of demon generals, among them 374 Five-colored peacocks in the clan, with sixteen of them being generals, possess distinguished bloodlines, difficult to proliferate, second only to the Three-tailed fox tribe, a top-tier class in Tushan Monster Country...”

”Three hundred seventy-four, hmm, I’ve got it memorized,”

Jiang Ding nodded and continued to read.

”...the cave abodes and defense mechanisms within the Demon Country...”

”...scenes of interaction with the Chiyan Fox King, so many times, such a variety of styles, sheesh...”

”What knowledge is this? Old Tree Golden Lotus, Windmill Giant Wheel, Arhat Soaring to the Heavens... the heritage secret techniques of the Three-tailed fox tribe. It seems that King Kong Que couldn’t bear it any longer...”

”...I was so shy at 16...”

”Copy and collect.”

Jiang Ding took out a blank jade slip, planning to submit an anonymous contribution on the Xianmen Sect’s adult website later on; he anticipated it would be very popular, with many rewards to come.

Of course, that’s not important.

What’s important is being told by a large group of people that a kind person will live a safe life; such a feeling is just too exhilarating.

”King Kong Que has lost.”

”He always loses to the Chiyan Fox King; no wonder despite the strong bloodline of the Five-colored Peacock, after over seven hundred years, he is still only in the early stages of a demon king. Being absorbed like this every day, no matter how profound his cultivation, he can’t take it.”

”However, there seems to be a hint of envy there—what’s with that?”

Jiang Ding withdrew his gaze, face flushing slightly, sped through the scenes, and took the lesson to heart.

”If I ever catch the Chiyan Fox King in the future...”

”Directly kill her.”

”No need for soul searching, a 16-year-old boy inexperienced in the world like me can’t handle that. If I’m not careful, I might fall under her spell.”

He continued to look down.

”...There are a total of three demon kings in Tushan Monster Country: King Kong Que, Chiyan Fox King, and another mid-stage demon king, Fox King Bai Hua...”

She is good at throwing parties. In her own territory, she holds a minor beauty pageant every year, a major one every decade, selecting the most beautiful men and women, most beautiful peacock, most beautiful demon fox, most beautiful eagle demon, most beautiful bear demon... even the most beautiful stone man exists, and she can actually withstand it all.

”The same, kill directly if the opportunity arises.”

```

”It’s not just her, all demon foxes are into these sleazy tricks. As a pure-hearted youth, I can’t stand such things. From now on, this is how I’ll deal with them when I see them.”

Jiang Ding quickly skimmed through King Kong Que’s seven-hundred-year memories.

To be honest, there was very little knowledge.

The inheritance of the bloodline cultivation method known as the ”Five-colored Halo Technique” was somewhat interesting and could probably be worth over a hundred thousand library points at the Xianmen Library, provided it wasn’t already in their collection.

There was very little time spent learning during the seven-hundred-year cultivation career, just absorbing Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, mating, fighting, and enjoying life.

And that was it.

Knowledge on Formation Methods, talismans, artifact refining, and elixirs was minimal.

Several hours later, after roughly going through seven hundred years of experiences, he had reached the most recent years.

”What’s this?”

Jiang Ding’s expression suddenly changed as he slowed down the scene to examine it frame by frame.

This was a scene of two fox tribe demon kings discussing matters within the most sacred site of the Tushan Monster Country, the Tushan Palace, a year before they officially decided to send troops to assist the Qiyu Sect in fighting against the Xuetu Hall.

”Big sister, do we really have to help those despicable humans of the Qiyu Sect fight?”

Fox King Bai Hua said discontentedly.

She was a petite and lovely woman with creamy skin and an extremely voluptuous figure, donned in a fairy dress woven from a myriad of flowers, with three fluffy, fiery-red tails occasionally twitching behind her.

”We have no choice. Xuetu Hall’s influence is immense. Once they free up their forces, our Demon Country will be in jeopardy.”

The Chiyan Fox King shook her head lightly, her voice sultry, ”Now is the perfect time to use the Qiyu Sect to make the human race fight amongst themselves. It would be best if they fought incessantly, both sides suffering losses, so we can swallow up Yue Country and Chu Country.

With a few more Third-tier Spiritual Veins, our cultivation will greatly increase, and the chances of the younger demons in our clan becoming Demon Kings will rise significantly.”

”Moreover,”

A gloom appeared on her beautiful face.

”The foundation-building cultivator you captured a few years ago from the Northern Immortal Cultivation World, he is a descendant of the Heavenly Person Dao Yin, from the prominent Liudao Sect of the Northern Demon Path.”

”That’s not a big deal, just a foundation builder. Even if Liudao Sect has Nascent Soul powerhouses, they wouldn’t wage war over such a trivial matter.”

”What’s really unsettling is that after soul searching, we learned that Liudao Sect is facing a powerful enemy. They are losing ground in battle, and even their Nascent Soul powerhouses can’t stop the decline. The stronghold’s powerhouses have dispatched disciples to scatter in all directions, preparing contingencies for the sect, seeking a way out.”

”Big sister, are you saying Yue Country will become Liudao Sect’s contingency plan?!”

Fox King Bai Hua’s face turned pale.

Such a prominent sect of Diabolism, even if only a small portion of its forces were to retreat here, everything, whether it be Qiyu Sect, Yue Country, or Tushan Monster Country, could be instantly crushed to crumbs.

”It’s possible.”

The Chiyan Fox King’s face was gloomy.

”To my knowledge, Xuetu Hall, a thousand years ago, relocated from the Northern Plains, likely after losing a Taoist conflict, hence they had to move far away. It could be related to Liudao Sect.”

”With such a major sect, it is highly unlikely they would fixate on the small area of Yue Country. They have numerous alternative hideaways.”

”Our Demon Country must do is utterly defeat Xuetu Hall and cleanse this region of their influence, reducing the chances that Liudao Sect’s upper echelons notice this place as much as possible.”

”Xuetu Hall must be destroyed!”

”So that’s it.”

Killing intent appeared in Fox King Bai Hua’s eyes too.

Though the Cultivation World is vast, every piece of spiritual land is occupied by someone or some demon. Without their own spiritual land, a Demon King’s rate of cultivation would drastically decrease, and their wealth would significantly dwindle.

For the fox tribe within the clan, it would mean an immediate existential threat.

While the Human Race has cities for loose cultivators, the sense of territorial ownership among the Demon Race is extremely strict. It’s exceedingly difficult for foreign demons to survive in a strange land.

”By the way, big sister, what’s the name of the major sect giving Liudao Sect trouble? I should also be wary of them.”

Fox King Bai Hua inquired.

”Great Sun Sect.”
