Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding’s Divine Sense swept through his body.

Over one hundred and eight thousand tiny meridians shone with blue light, translucent and clear, resembling the most exquisite map of the starry sky, entwined in three dimensions.

Within the Elixir Field, mana was filled to the brim, not a single thread could be added.

The mana had also been repeatedly refined over the decades.

He asked himself, even the Taoist disciples of the Nine Great Immortal Sects could only achieve what he had at most.

”Can I break through now?”

Jiang Ding was eager to try.

In his heart, there was an impulse, and he felt there was more than a ninety percent chance he could condense a top-grade Golden Pill, superior to even the finest quality!

Even the high-grade Golden Core Pill that he had prepared, as well as the pre-preparation of the cultivation chamber, were all unnecessary, completely useless.

All those years of refinement were not wasted.

Clang!

The Taiqing Flying Sword let out a grievance-filled sword cry.

Breaking through now meant giving up the future possibility of breaking through together with the Taiqing Flying Sword, and the Divine Soul would no longer be able to transform exponentially; it would be equivalent to the breakthrough of an average Foundation-building cultivator.

The Taiqing Flying Sword would no longer be the Sword of Dao Foundation but merely an exceptionally sharp Life Treasure.

Afterward, there would be no turning back.

”I can’t break through.”

Jiang Ding calmed himself down.

”Breaking through in such a way would undoubtedly mean giving up the enormous possibility of future breakthroughs to Divinity Transformation and Refining Nothingness, an extremely hasty and greedy act. Besides, I’m not in any kind of life-or-death crisis.”

”The flying sword and I must transform together!”

”I still have to make a trip to the Great Sun Heavenly Pond.”

Taking a deep breath, he calmed the restlessness of his mana.

Jiang Ding stood up and flew towards the dense branches and leaves of the divine tree, the Heaven-Covering Banyan, searching among the huge tree trunks and leaves like mountains. Moments later, he flew into a leaf with a faint Great Sun mark.

”Welcome to Qingfeng University’s Science Building, the Great Sun Relic Laboratory.”

Jiang Ding flew through the lab full of ruins and the smoggy dust of radiation, past each crater from explosions and sword scars that split the earth.

Arriving at the center of the laboratory, he was immediately surrounded by a pack of green-eyed gazes, like a pack of starving wolves, as if looking at a lifetime’s worth of effort that was about to shine brightly.

”Tone it down a bit, you’re scaring me.”

Jiang Ding casually remarked.

These folks were naturally Zhang Junsheng, senior Wu Mengsha, and many other seniors and peers from the Daylight Rescue Excavation Major, dozens of people, all Golden Pill cultivators.

”That might be difficult.”

Wu Mengsha looked at him with burning eyes: ”Sisters, brothers, climbing up the career ladder, reaching the pinnacle of life, coupled with the hope of turning into a Nascent Soul, is all in your hands. It’s really hard for us to hold back our excitement, and besides, it seems like we can’t beat you now, so what’s to fear?”

”And after you’ve become a Golden Pill cultivator, not to mention.”

”The Daylight Rescue Excavation Major has the potential to leap from an unpopular major with a bleak outlook to a popular one overnight, with a large amount of funding and resources pouring in. Every brother and sister here will have boundless prospects; even the previously untouchable male and female deities will be within our reach to chase after.”

”Cough cough!”

”Don’t be so vulgar, with all that talk of promotions and chasing gods and goddesses,”

Zhang Junsheng coughed and said, ”This is all about the path, the great path. Let’s not degrade the standard of our major.”

He passed over a hard drive flashing with Spiritual Light.

”This is the result of over a hundred years of dedication by our major, combined with spending billions of Low-grade Spirit Stones, hundreds of millions of library credits, and the free assistance of Nascent Soul Monks like Immortal Count Spirit and Immortal Luling, as well as the full cooperation of organizations like the Xianmen Science Institute.”

”The final achievement, the Great Sun Golden Core Secret Method!”

”Jiang Ding, no, Brother Ding, take it easy. You always handle things steadily. Our niche major’s hope for advancement lies right here.”

Zhang Junsheng placed the hard drive reluctantly into Jiang Ding’s hands.

Fearing no pressure, avoiding nothing, the more one studies the history of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion and its Cultivation Methods, the more one is confident in the Dari Swordsman.

The entire Great Sun Sword Pavilion is established upon the Dari Swordsman and the Great Sun Sword Master, the absolute core of the core!

It could be said, even if everyone in the Great Sun Sword Pavilion perished, as long as the Great Sun Sword Master and Dari Swordsman remained, the Sword Pavilion would still not have suffered a fatal blow, its essence preserved.

This is the juvenile form of a Domain Overlord, cruel and rational in Sword Intent. Such verbal hesitation hardly counts as anything.

”Teacher, you flatter me.”

Jiang Ding chuckled lightly, taking the hard drive, and Divine Sense flowed into it.

In that instant, Spiritual Scripts as dazzling as the starry sky surged into his mind, vast in number, complex in knowledge, involving Divine Soul, Sea of Consciousness, Elixir Field, Sword Dao, Great Sun, electromagnetism, and more—one of the finest achievements of the Domain Overlord Xianmen Sect over the past century.

”Sword Dao.”

”…Supreme-quality Golden Pill, at the cusp of creation, the sword cleaves through the heavenly tribulation. Sword Qi fills the clouds of heavenly tribulation, preventing them from dissipating after a single blow. Then it guides the lightning of heavenly tribulation to temper the inchoate Golden Pill.

While maintaining the structure of the Golden Pill unchanged, it liquefies and merges into the Life Flying Sword. Utilizing the Golden aspect of the Golden Pill for significantly enhancing the sword’s sharpness and durability, and within the flying sword, a setup of Formation Pathways and Elixir Field nodes similar to the main body is laid out…”

”…And then the sword becomes, forging the Sword of Dao Foundation.”

”Mad Great Sun Sword Pavilion.”

Jiang Ding took a deep breath.

Even after participating in the Core Formation Secret Technique development for over a hundred years, providing assistance with his innate Sword Dao instincts to his senior brothers and sisters, when the true Great Sun Golden Core Secret Method appeared before him, he couldn’t help but be astonished by the madness of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion’s predecessors.

The critical point is, they actually succeeded!

The Sword Pavilion, in its prime, boasted the formidable presence to sweep the Eight Sects and unify the domain.

”Golden Core…”

Under the onslaught of immense Immortal Path knowledge, Jiang Ding stood stunned, his Divine Soul and Sword Intent of Destruction, four times stronger than his peers, began operating, continuously simulating, calculating, and digesting the secret technique.

A month later.

”If there were no Great Sun Soul Flame…”

Jiang Ding’s dazed expression became animated as he silently speculated, ”Just relying on my own abilities, there’s a sixty percent chance of success.”

”Barely adequate. The main issue is my youth. I’m only sixteen years old. Compared to the previous masters, my foundation in the Immortal Path is severely lacking.”

”With the Great Sun Soul Flame, the success rate is 99.9 percent. The remaining 0.1 percent is just to give heaven a little face.”

”But the Great Sun Soul Flame isn’t absolutely necessary. If faced with a life-threatening crisis and the difficulty is too great, giving up is also an option.”

After coming to a conclusion, Jiang Ding repeatedly confirmed the results of his calculations, finding no errors.

”Teacher, I need to make a trip to the Great Sun Heavenly Pond.”

Jiang Ding opened his eyes and said.

”Good, I’ve already applied to Xianmen on your behalf; you can head directly to the teleportation Formation.”

Zhang Junsheng said without hesitation, ”Don’t worry about facing enemies above your level. The Great Sun Ruins are located within the territory of Xianmen. The reason they’re still intact is merely due to some leasing agreements reached with the Eight Great Immortal Sects. If anyone should be worried about underhanded tactics, it should be them.”

”Mm.”

Jiang Ding nodded slightly, left the laboratory, and soared into the stratosphere where the branches of the Heaven-Covering Banyan unfolded, revealing the teleportation Formation.
