Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Thousands of Nascent Soul Monks saluted True Monarch Bo Ming.

Then they sat down uniformly, with straight backs and neatly placed hats in front of them, a thousand people acting as one, devoid of the usual casual disarray common among Nascent Soul Monks of the Immortal Sects.

”Now, I will present the operational plan for this battle.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch pointed with a finger.

A stream of azure Spiritual Light shot out, landing in the center of the meeting space, forming a Star Domain.

It was dark and gloomy, with the Great Sun and stars hanging high in the sky, the cold and gloomy wind blowing, and dozens of stars representing the Minor Thousand Worlds twinkling uncertainly. On closer inspection, the minute movements of these Small Worlds were discernable.

Only by Divine Sense could one notice these slight differences.

Domain Star Map!

Jiang Ding looked carefully.

In the north, several Small World stars twinkled in the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace’s domain, marked with black flags indicating the troops stationed at the border.

To the west and east, respectively, were the domains of the Wanshou Immortal Sect and the Green Wood Immortal Sect, both with large armies stationed.

There were specific descriptions of the troop numbers, commanders, specialties in battle tactics, and the Starry Sky coordinates of the sectors where they were located, natural and cultural conditions like the patterns of the dark wind currents and the regular appearance of meteorite belts were also clearly marked.

The defensive arrangements of our own side were also detailed.

To the south was a barren Star Domain, a dark and dead silence, with no signs of Small Worlds or life.

Of course, the terms east, south, west, and north are not entirely accurate, just a convention.

Within the Star Domain, all directions are three-dimensional, with space extending in all directions, not limited to a flat plane.

”Ding!”

”You have accessed second-level military secrets, please be mindful of the confidentiality regulations.”

The voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer rang in the ears of every Nascent Soul Monk.

This was not just a reminder, but also an extension of the Xianmen Oath’s power. Even if they were captured by Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Immortal Sects, they would not leak secrets. Even if a Master of Refining Nothingness personally performed soul searching, it was highly likely they would not obtain complete military intelligence.

”The battle plan can be summarized in one sentence,”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch said solemnly, ”We will primarily defend on the fronts of the Green Wood Immortal Sect and the Wanshou Immortal Sect, and launch our main attack towards the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace!”

”In these past few thousand years, the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace has grown rapidly in strength. While confronting the Immortal Sects, they’ve also waged wars with other sects, snatching a varying number of Small Worlds.”

”At present, the comprehensive strength of the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace has subtly outpaced the other Immortal Sects, causing great unease among the seven great sects.”

”We judge that at least in the early stages of the war, the seven great sects will not send troops to interfere with our war.”

”Moreover, if there is a catastrophic defeat for the Immortal Sects, with numerous great experts fallen and plenty of Small Worlds lost, it’s very possible that the seven great sects will become our allies, sending troops to attack the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace, thus creating an opportunity for us.”

”Of course, such a situation is absolutely impossible.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch stated coolly.

”The specific personnel arrangement is as follows,”

His voice rose slightly.

”First, Heavenly Monarch Wanji will command the western front, and he will be stationed at the border of the Wanshou Immortal Sect.”

”Yes, Commander-in-Chief,”

Heavenly Monarch Wanji, appearing on the computer screen with a mechanical arm’s limbs, yet draped in a form-fitting white uniform of the Starry Sky Troops’ high-ranking officer, stood and saluted.

Jiang Ding was resolute.

Heavenly Monarch Wanji, an ancient Divinity Transformation cultivator of the Immortal Sects, possessed the capability to command compounding God-transforming Level Army Formations, allowing him to move undefeated across the Nascent Soul Battlefield.

If a substantial number of military-qualified sleeping Nascent Soul Monks are added to his command, along with remote support from the Central Array Spirit Computer, based on the Super Great Array established at the border, he might even contend with one or two Masters of Refining Nothingness, avoiding rapid defeat.

”Heavenly Monarch Wanji...”

”The Wanshou Immortal Sect has a much stronger desire to attack than the Green Wood Immortal Sect, and the experts of the Wanshou Sect also pose a much greater danger than those of the Qingmu Sect.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch hesitated for a moment and asked, ”Do you want me to reinforce you with Immortal Gulin’s Group Army? Should any discord arise, they could provide resistance within the Minor World for sufficient time to delay and wait for the main forces to come to your aid.”

Immortal Gulin, known to the outside world as a Taoist Disciple of the Eastern Devil School, is a typical representative of the doctrine of military formations.

```

Heavenly Monarch Wanji pondered.

Facing the possible attack from the great expert of the Wanshou Immortal Sect, he truly felt somewhat apprehensive. If it were possible to strengthen their forces within their Domain, to buy more time, to ensure the Array Bases were not lost, his Starry Sky Troops would then have a much better chance.

But the frontal battlefield was the most important of all.

He looked into the distance, at a young man among the many elderly and middle-aged cultivators, who was sitting quietly.

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch also looked over.

”My opinion is, Immortal Gulin can go, without affecting the frontline battlefield,” Jiang Ding said, gently stroking the hilt of his sword, his voice steady.

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch and Heavenly Monarch Wanji, along with other veteran cultivators who had experienced the war of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, felt a jolt in their hearts.

A subtle fluctuation occurred in the surrounding Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi.

This demeanor, this posture,

was exactly like that of the predecessor Dari Swordsman, Zhong Guangzi!

Many of the Treasures within the Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarchs almost burst forth, their combat instincts triggered.

However, they felt at ease in their hearts.

The Eight Great Immortal Sects were strong in individual combat power, far surpassing that of Xianmen Sect. Their Taoist disciples could individually take on the strongest of the Air-Space Group Army, a feat both terrifying and formidable.

But in terms of individual combat power,

The Great Sun Sword Pavilion could hang the Eight Great Immortal Sects out to dry!

”Alright,”

”In that case,”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch, after pondering for a moment, decisively said, ”I order the special forces of the Air-Space Army, the Green Divine Group Army to move to the western front, to come under the command of Heavenly Monarch Wanji.”

”Yes, Commander-in-Chief Excellency!”

Immortal Gulin rose, saluted, and received the appointment.

Her appearance was soft and beautiful, with dark green hair that branched out like tree limbs. Her realm was at the peak of Golden Pill, just as Jiang Ding had seen when he entered Qingfeng University over two hundred years ago; nothing had changed.

Her military rank, like Jiang Ding’s, was that of a general in the Air-Space Troops, commanding the Air-Space forces within the Domain in a certain campaign direction.

”Eastern front, the direction of the Green Wood Immortal Sect...”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch pondered for a long time, but found it difficult to pick a commander for the eastern front.

There were no more Nascent Soul Cultivators capable of commanding the complex military formations of the Divinity Transformation Level.

But there was a gap in the defense line.

Cultivators of this rank simply could not be trained; one could only let time pass and wait for them to emerge on their own.

”Canghai Heavenly Monarch!”

”I appoint you as the commander of the eastern front, to command the eastern front forces and to guard against the possible attack from the Green Wood Immortal Sect.”

After much hesitation, Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch still chose Canghai Heavenly Monarch, who was in the late Truth-Transforming Stage.

Although she was younger in age, she had surpassed those who came before her and had richer experience in commanding army formations than most Nascent Soul Cultivators.

”Yes! Commander-in-Chief Excellency!”

The somewhat chubby Canghai Heavenly Monarch rose, feeling both excited and a bit nervous.

Although there had been prior communication, it had only been a possibility; she hadn’t expected such a heavy responsibility to fall on her so suddenly, and she felt the pressure.

”Don’t panic; it’s unlikely that the Green Wood Immortal Sect will attack without declaration.”

”Their Cultivation Method is relatively peaceful.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch reassured, ”Rely on the Star Domain terrain and the great formations to delay the great expert of the Green Wood Immortal Sect as long as possible, waiting for the main forces to come to the rescue. If indeed you are outmatched, then retreat to the vicinity of the mother planet, trying to preserve as much vitality as possible.”

They were preparing for the worst-case scenario.

Here, at the mother planet, there was the Central Array Spirit Computer and Commander Yuan’s grand army standing by, to ensure absolute security.
