Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding’s eyes widened.

He couldn’t help but take another look.

Immortal Luling, Immortal Dinghai, An Siyan, Jin Lingfeng—all these people were still alive, although they were severely injured, missing arms and legs, some only half a body, and the worst off, Immortal Luling, had nothing but a Divine Soul left.

But they were all still alive!

”Hahaha...”

Jiang Ding burst out laughing, dancing with joy, never having had such a happy moment.

”Senior, I’m convinced!”

”How could you not be?”

”Who would dare not be convinced in front of the future great expert, the magnificent Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch, who once defeated the Nascent Soul Peak, Zhong Guangzi?”

Jiang Ding said seriously.

”Well, this...”

Even the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch himself was somewhat embarrassed and nodded toward An Siyan.

”What? Senior.”

An Siyan looked down, somewhat puzzled.

”Scratch my head! Kid, this is what people do when they’re embarrassed,” the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch said, discontent.

”You yourself...”

An Siyan glanced at the head-only Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch and, realizing the situation, quickly scratched his head.

”Hmm, nice.”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch approved, scratched his head again, and continued embarrassingly, ”Actually, Zhong Guangzi was a bit stronger than me.”

”Of course, in the end, he still lost and became a dead man, which is fundamentally different from the wise and brave me.”

”You are too modest, Senior, this is just a minor part of your myriad virtues,”

Jiang Ding flattered further.

”Haha... this... that... Hahaha...”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch initially felt a bit awkward, but soon adapted, agreeing heartily, ”Indeed, worthy of the Great Sun Swordsman, able to perceive my true essence at a glance.”

”Haha...”

Immortal Dinghai, Zhang Junsheng, and others around him laughed.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Ding realized that they were not only waiting for him but also for Canghai Heavenly Monarch and a few other old friends.

During the war, Canghai Heavenly Monarch served as the commander of the Starry Sky Corps on the eastern front, leading the Xianmen Sect against the Refining Nothingness Daoist Soldier Troop of the Green Wood Immortal Sect.

At the fiercest moment of the main battlefield, troops were dispatched from the eastern front’s Starry Sky Corps, outnumbered by the Immortal Sect Daoist Soldiers, resulting in a tough fight with heavy casualties.

Canghai Heavenly Monarch was seriously injured and had to temporarily relinquish his military duties to recuperate.

Because the transfer procedures for the Starry Sky Troops were complex, he arrived a bit later.

”Teacher Yu Chi, how are your injuries? Will they affect your future cultivation and promotion?”

Jiang Ding looked at Immortal Luling and asked.

Immortal Luling’s injuries were the most severe, only having a Divine Soul and a Nascent Soul left, attached to a temporary Seizing robot developed by the Xianmen Sect.

Jiang Ding hoped to help him.

To this day, he still remembered when, in his tender youth and very weak, Immortal Luling had presented him with the precious and expensive Yin Mist Pearl, containing the Sword Intent of a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, which had helped him avoid many detours.

That Yin Mist Pearl was still around, placed in a classroom at Qingfeng University Adult Swordsmanship Department, becoming a teaching tool that continued to provide guidance on the Dao to the young ones of the Xianmen Sect.

”The injuries are definitely severe.”

Immortal Luling smiled bitterly, ”I used to worry someone would call me ’old one-eye’ and ruin my reputation for life, but now, well, there’s no body left, the Divine Soul is severely injured, and who knows when it will be healed.”

”What about your cultivation and promotion?”

Jiang Ding, seeing he wasn’t getting to the point, relentlessly asked again.

For a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, nothing could be more important; he couldn’t possibly forget.

”I plan to follow the path of Heavenly Monarch Wanji.”

Immortal Luling did not hide it, saying, ”Heavenly Monarch Wanji, like me, also had his body completely destroyed, and later, his Divine Soul merged into a Spirit Element supercomputer, achieving Divinity Transformation. I feel this suits me well.”

”You don’t need to worry about the expenses. Senior Mieri agreed to sponsor part of it, and I’ve also earned some military achievements this time, which should be enough,” Jiang Ding said.

”That won’t do.”

”Absolutely not.”

Jiang Ding unhesitatingly refused, ”Senior Mieri isn’t as rich as me.”

As he spoke these words, an aura of a nouveau riche naturally spread out, instantly intimidating the few people around him.

”You little rascal!”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch regained his senses from the boasting mode, very dissatisfied but dared not retort.

Even ignoring the spoils of war, in this battle, the commander of the Northern Air Space Forces defeated seven Immortal Sect Disciples and killed two, personally participating in capturing eleven Minor Thousand Worlds and establishing Boundary Formation Bases.

All these military achievements added up,

were definitely not less than thirty Divinity Transformation military merits!

Many Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarchs didn’t possess such wealth.

”Teacher Wei Chi, take these three Divinity Transformation military merits for now, if it’s not enough, ask me for more.”

Jiang Ding didn’t beat around the bush and transferred them immediately upon seeing Immortal Luling wanting to defer, instantly stern-faced: ”Back then, when you gave me the Yin Mist Pearl, who said that if I got rich, not letting you also get rich would mean getting flattened by you?”

”One can’t go back on their words, can they?”

”This...”

Immortal Luling looked somewhat bewildered.

Who could have imagined hundreds of years ago that giving a gift to a teenager would today result in hundreds to thousands of times the return!

”Hahaha!”

Immortal Luling laughed heartily, not refusing, and accepted the wealth that made countless Immortal of Nascent Soul envious: ”When it comes to investments, I should be the number one investor of the Xianmen Sect. The return multiplied hundreds to thousands of times in a blink, what stock genius or Gambling King can compare to me?”

”Thank you.”

Immortal Luling expressed his thanks earnestly.

”Ah,”

”It’s nothing, really nothing.”

Jiang Ding feigned modesty.

”Teacher Zhang, my mentor, An student, Jin student...”

Jiang Ding looked around, giving each person their share of Divinity Transformation military merits, not favoring one over another.

”You must not decline.”

”Super wealthy Great Sun Swordsman hopes you all can advance. Hundreds and thousands of years later, we can still meet. By then, pay me back hundreds to thousands of times so I too can experience the joy of being the number one investor of Xianmen Sect.”

For him now, these riches were only a small part, but they could help friends achieve breakthroughs in their life stages, so naturally, he was not stingy.

Immortal Dinghai, Zhang Junsheng, An Siyan, and Jin Lingfeng felt somewhat embarrassed, politely tried to refuse, but then accepted, as after all, the personal ties were different.

”What about me? What about me?”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch called out repeatedly.

”Not giving.”

Jiang Ding pouted, ”You are an elder, you should be giving me instead.”

In truth, he knew Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch was extremely prideful and would not accept a junior’s gift.

Moreover, one or two Divinity Transformation military merits were not lacking for Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch. They were not that important to him and couldn’t help him achieve a breakthrough in cultivation or life stage.

Otherwise, even with a good face, Jiang Ding had ways to make him accept.

”You young man, richer than me and still expect me to give you a red packet, shameless,” Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch said indignantly.

The group waited for a while.

”Big brother!”

”Big brother, you’re not dead? Hahaha...”

A nimble fat man ran out from a remote Domain Essence Super Teleportation Formation, running and laughing. Even with an arm missing, it didn’t affect his agility, appearing somewhat comical and ridiculous.

Clearly, Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch’s Concealment Spell could deceive Jiang Ding but couldn’t fool Canghai Heavenly Monarch.
