Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”The God Transformation Strategy of Niri Heavenly Monarch has been issued with the aim to revitalize the research and development of Yang Attribute materials within the Xianmen Sect and the progress of the smelting industry, as well as to further advance the development of the Immortal Sword Path...”

”The God Transformation Strategy of Pingyang Heavenly Monarch is focused on reviving the research of cultivation methods with ice-cold attributes, material development industries... and pushing forward the development of the Immortal Sword Path...”

”The God Transformation Strategy of True Flow Heavenly Monarch...”

”...”

On the news broadcast, the dignified-looking host continuously reported on matters related to the God Transformation Strategy. It was quick, with all five strategies taking up only five minutes before moving on to other news.

It was nowhere near as grand as when the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch was promoted to Divinity Transformation, with continuous coverage for several months, various interviews, features on the life and deeds of the Heavenly Monarchs, role models of the Xianmen Sect, calling everyone to learn from them, and the like.

”This station reports, according to the latest 1,772nd Xianmen governance order issued by Senior Yuan, the current God Transformation Strategy of the Xianmen Sect has reached its limits. The next strategies will be postponed until the following century.”

”Has it reached the limit?”

Jiang Dingyi, who had just completed his Large Circle of Vital Energy and was watching TV, paused in surprise.

After a brief moment of thought, he realized.

Just as Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch had learned from the grapevine, the Xianmen Sect had released forty-six opportunities for God Transformation all at once, letting Xianmen cultivators exchange them according to the order of their military achievements—a truly grand gesture.

Many Elders who had been in deep slumber for a long time seized their chance to transform into deities, made a slight adjustment to their state, and then immediately began their break through to Divinity Transformation without any hesitation or delay, so confidently.

And then, they succeeded.

In these decades, Heavenly Monarch promotions have been continuous, too many to count, at least a dozen or more. And that’s just those who have emerged from seclusion; many Elders prefer stability, taking it step by step rather than failing.

One can imagine that in the next hundred years, Xianmen cultivators of Divinity Transformation will surely emerge one after another.

In such circumstances, the God Transformation Strategy of the Xianmen Sect started to be overwhelmed.

The God Transformation Strategy of the Xianmen Sect is a form of support for newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivators, granting them a significant sum of money, many policy supports, and developing industries, research institutions, or political viewpoints necessary for the pathways of new Heavenly Monarchs.

For instance, if a Heavenly Monarch believes that their path requires war, the Xianmen Sect would seriously consider it, and then discuss, vote, and, whether the proposal is passed or not, the new Heavenly Monarch must be informed of the reasons—disregard is not allowed.

If not approved, the God Transformation Strategy would be replaced, but the benefits wouldn’t disappear.

This is part of the political treatment for newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivators, written into the constitution.

Implementing a God Transformation Strategy isn’t just an empty administrative order; it involves mobilizing a massive amount of manpower and resources from the Xianmen Sect for support, fostering industries, allocating Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Spirit Stones, research computing power, and so on.

Therefore, executing twelve God Transformation Strategies at once within a hundred years is already the limit of the Xianmen Sect’s capacity, unable to bear any more.

And this is with the Xianmen Sect owning twenty-four Minor Thousand Worlds; otherwise, they could at most carry out two or three strategies.

For these twelve Elders, their God Transformation Strategies are mostly about industrial needs in their cultivation methods, treasures, techniques, etc.

Most people added the phrase ”further advance the development of the Immortal Sword Path” at the end.

”The Elders are really...”

Jiang Ding felt somewhat embarrassed.

The current strategy of the Xianmen Sect supporting swordsmanship, even changing the structure of the Xianmen Sect entrance exams and the Cultivation Department in universities so drastically, was not without reason, but due to the God Transformation Strategy of the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch.

Almost a hundred years have already passed since then.

In theory, once the time for the Sun Extinguisher’s God Transformation Strategy arrives, if many people are opposed to it, the changes to the Xianmen Sect’s entrance exams and the Adult Sword Dao Department in universities might vanish, reverting to their original state.

—There are indeed many who are opposed.

Within the Xianmen Sect, many are wary of swordsmanship, especially the Sword Intent - a specialized alteration of the Divine Soul among Swordsman Cultivators.

This kind of Divine Soul alteration is quite distinct from other Immortal Gate Citizens, standing out starkly.

Many feared that one day, the ghosts of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion would resurrect within the Xianmen Sect, leading it into the abyss of an unending war.

Even though Jiang Ding was extremely angry, wishing he could draw his sword and kill the person who spoke those words, he had to admit the possibility of their existence.

The foundation of the swordsmanship within the Xianmen Sect was shaking!

In such a situation, newly promoted Heavenly Monarchs stepped forward.

It began with the old brothers of the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch, such as Pingyang Heavenly Monarch and Niri Heavenly Monarch, followed by some other Heavenly Monarchs whom Jiang Ding did not recognize and had never interacted with. They added support for the Sword Dao to their God Transformation Strategy and solidified the development of the Xianmen swordsmanship with legislation, suppressing all internal dissent.

”I...”

”I’m unworthy of this honor,”

Jiang Ding’s face reddened, and he sighed.

The God Transformation Strategy, a benefit provided by the Xianmen Sect to newly advanced Nascent Soul Cultivators, concerned their future cultivation at the Nascent Soul Stage. To allocate part of it to a junior, whom many people didn’t even recognize...

It really felt like a hot potato.

All he could do was to visit each one of them to express his sincere thanks.

Jiang Ding retracted the Taiqing Flying Sword and stored it in his brow’s spatial dimension.

”Goodbye, Commander. I’m off to the warship maintenance center,”

The Ship Spirit Cloud Day waved her hand and controlled the Super Warship Great Sun to break through space, flying off into the distance.

Over the years, she spent twenty-five billion Low-grade Spirit Stones like water, only choosing the most expensive options rather than the best, living a life of luxury.

”Go ahead,”

Jiang Ding waved his hand and parted the space with the cotton-like Sword Qi, silently merging into it.

Today was the day Zhang Junsheng, Immortal Chengyang, retired.

To be precise, it was the day he entered into a deep slumber within the Sleeping Hidden Realm, queuing for the opportunity to Transform into a Deity.

From then on, just like many seniors before him, like the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch and others, he would wait and wait, until the opportunity for Divinity Transformation came along or until the Xianmen Sect faced another crisis of extinction.

Otherwise, he would not re-emerge, bidding a temporary farewell to everyone in the Xianmen Sect.

And it wasn’t just Zhang Junsheng.

Immortal Dinghai and Immortal Luling were also preparing to retire today, accompanying old friends into retirement.

Ascending upwards, he searched for a moment and found the leaf of the Great Sun Relic Laboratory, entering into it.

The place was bustling with noise and excitement.

”After the teacher enters deep slumber, remember to continue your cultivation, study hard...”

”If you encounter something you don’t understand, ask the new teachers at Qingfeng University. If they can’t help, go and ask the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch and the others. The Heavenly Monarchs might be busy with their cultivation, so remember to send an email to schedule an appointment in advance...”

”Also, you can ask your senior, Jiang Ding, but aside from Sword Dao, he’s only average, so take it as a reference. You should still prioritize the opinions of the Qingfeng University teachers...”

Just as Jiang Ding entered, he saw a huge crowd, tens of thousands, including Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Golden Pill Cultivators, and Qi Practitioners. The three Immortals, led by Immortal Dinghai, were tirelessly advising them on everything from studies to daily life, cultivation, and future planning, making sure not to leave anything out.

These students were the fruits of nearly a thousand years of cultivation by the three teachers.

”...just average... just average...”

As soon as Jiang Ding entered, his face darkened.
