Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding appeared in the midst of the Soulless Desert, spent some time, and arrived at the long-distance teleportation formation, vanishing from sight.

The very next moment,

After traversing through multiple teleportation formations, covering a vast distance, he emerged within Tushan Immortal City.

”It has been a few hundred years since I last laid eyes on this scenery...”

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

At this moment, he recalled the times when he was young, the first time he came to the Three Kingdoms, the first time he established Tushan Immortal City, and the many scenes gained and then lost.

His Divine Sense connected with the myriad Divine Sense Brands of the maiden group in his Sea of Consciousness, gathering intelligence from all quarters, especially that of the Great Sun Sword Sect.

Over fifty years had passed.

The number of the eighty thousand maids had diminished, clearly due to the chaos of war, or the enemy powers’ searches, resulting in a reduction of personnel, or simply because the Foundation Establishment Realm maids failed to break through to Golden Pill and succumbed to the end of their lifespans, passing away resignedly.

These occurrences were very common.

More than fifty years, for a Qi Practitioner, was already a good part of a lifetime; for Foundation-building cultivators, it was time moving from their prime into old age, no longer young.

In these periods, many splendid and complex stories of love and hate happened, unlike the monotonous cultivation of high-Level Cultivators.

”Eighty thousand... It seems they executed the command to lurk quite well, without any false compliance.”

Jiang Ding felt somewhat content, yet also a tinge of regret.

”As for the situation in the Northern Plains, with the rise of Loose Cultivator Immortals, the changes have been huge.”

”Day by day, month by month, it’s almost unrecognizable.”

Jiang Ding skimmed through the intelligence from Tushan maids in the Central Courtyard.

The eighty thousand maids, scattered everywhere, undercover in a variety of identities, some of which were their real identities and places of birth, making for a high level of Concealment and a significant advantage in gathering intelligence.

”Forty-one years ago, driven by the desire for the Dao and prompting of numerous Loose Cultivator Immortals, the Demonslaying Alliance founded by the likes of Blood Cloud and nineteen other Immortals of Nascent Soul started to take action.

Their first target was the Liu Family of the Joyous Union Sect from the twenty-eight Northern Plains Families, who possessed a fourth-order medium-grade Spiritual Vein.”

”This battle was earth-shattering when nineteen early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators took action together!”

Jiang Ding briefly reminisced, finding the scene rather spectacular.

”The fourth-order medium-grade Great Formation of the Joyous Union Sect’s Liu Family shattered in an instant!”

”The Joyous Union True Monarch was horrified and attempted to resist, but the nineteen Immortals of Nascent Soul suppressed her swiftly and decisively. Working together, they broke through her defenses instantly, shattered her Treasure, and her mid-stage of Nascent Soul Cultivation Base was utterly useless!”

”In just a few breaths, the Joyous Union True Monarch’s body was shattered, her Nascent Soul fled in dire straits, abandoning the foundation maintained by her family for ten thousand years.”

”The Demonslaying Alliance won their initial battle, achieving a great victory.”

”After this battle, the Liu Family was massacred; handsome and beautiful disciples of the sect and family were captured in large numbers, the Demonslaying Alliance members like Blood Cloud and many other Immortals of Nascent Soul divided the Joyous Union Sect’s Liu Family’s legacy of ten thousand years among themselves, gaining numerous Nascent Treasures, a wealth of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures, and a multitude of Cultivation Techniques and Magic Techniques, each Immortal of Nascent Soul saw their wealth surge tenfold, a hundredfold, and their strength increased to some extent.”

Three great difficulties of Loose Cultivators: Cultivation Method, Treasure, Magic Technique.

This was the main reason their strength lagged a great deal behind their peers at the same Level.

The wealth and accumulation of Cultivation Techniques and Magic Techniques over ten thousand years from the Joyous Union Sect’s Liu Family precisely filled this gap for them.

”Due to the dispute over spoils of war, internal strife erupted amongst the Immortals in the Demonslaying Alliance but ended up quelled under the mediation of Blood Cloud and others.”

”However, this did not diminish the spiralling morale within the Demonslaying Alliance, with numerous Immortals eager to fight, bursting with the will to battle.”

”After annihilating the Joyous Union Sect’s Liu Family, they did not choose to occupy it but instead erased all traces and disappeared in an instant, vanishing without a trace.”

By the time Joyous Union True Monarch and the numerous Immortals of Nascent Soul from the real and demon alliance made their way back, all they could see was ruins and bare ground as they roared in vain fury.

”Those who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul, indeed, are all cunning and sly.”

Jiang Ding, seeing this, nodded slightly.

In a direct confrontation, the Loose Cultivator Immortals were no match for half the number of the real and demon alliance Nascent Soul Immortals, their cultivation base was weaker, their treasures and magic techniques were weaker, and they were not united internally. Even a near doubling in numbers could not make up for these gaps.

”The Great Sun Sword Sect and the Great Sun Dharma Sect are watching closely, and for some unknown reason, there’s also unrest at the frontline.”

”Many Nascent Souls from the real and demon alliance could not stay for long. After searching the surrounding area multiple times, even resorting to profound tracking techniques, they were still unable to find the many Nascent Souls of the Demonslaying Alliance and had to withdraw reluctantly.”

That was to be expected. All were Immortals of Nascent Soul, with no rank-based suppression. If one side was intent on hiding and was well-prepared, they would not be easily found.

Not to mention, there could be the shadow of a major sect behind this.

Forces like the Great Sun Sword Sect were happy to see the strength of the real and demon alliance continue to wane. Giving out some talismans and magic techniques for concealment and evasion was a trivial effort and did not cost them much.

”The mere Joyous Union Sect cannot satisfy the needs of the Demonslaying Alliance.”

”Thirty-five years ago, after a brief six years of silence, the Demonslaying Alliance began to move again. They launched a surprise attack on Li Family of the Blood Bone Gate, one of the twenty-eight families of the real and demon alliance, and annihilated it in a very short time, seizing all the family’s reserves and inheritance.”

”Although Blood Bone Immortal was in the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, he could not stop them and had his Law Body shattered under the siege of nineteen Immortals of Nascent Soul, with only his Nascent Soul managing to escape.”

”Moreover, it all happened much faster than the annihilation of the Joyous Union Sect. The reinforcements from the real and demon alliance simply could not arrive in time.”

This was after absorbing the gains from the Joyous Union Sect, refining many Nascent Treasures for their own use, and practicing fourth-order magic techniques, which had enhanced the power of the many Immortals of Nascent Soul from the Demonslaying Alliance.

”Five years later, thirty years ago, the Demonslaying Alliance repeated their old trick, launching a surprise attack on the Ice Snow Palace.”

”In this battle, two great Immortals of Nascent Soul from the Ice Snow Palace relied on the Mountain Door Formation to act. The Ice Snow Immortal in the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, and the newly advanced Ice Blood Immortal Mu Tiansnow, shone brilliantly in this battle by defeating five Nascent Soul Immortals including Blood Cloud, and along with Ice Snow Immortal, they held off the attack of the real and demon alliance, barely maintaining the situation.”

”The Demonslaying Alliance was startled, wanting to flee but got entangled.”

”By the time the furious Immortals of Nascent Soul from the real and demon alliance arrived, three Loose Cultivator Immortals from the Demonslaying Alliance had their Law Bodies crushed, one died outright, and the rest, carrying their wounds, fled in panic.”

”The morale of the real and demon alliance was somewhat boosted.”

”However, by this time, the weakness of the real and demon alliance had been exposed to all cultivators in the Northern Plains.”

”Cultivators from the Great Sun Sword Sect and the Great Sun Dharma Sect, without a declaration of war, joined the battlefield.

Imitating the Demonslaying Alliance cultivators, after pinning down many Immortals of Nascent Soul at the main battlefield, numerous Immortals of Nascent Soul from various sects continuously launched surprise attacks on each of the real and demon alliance’s families.”

”In front of these sect Nascent Souls, there was no stopping them.”

”Ice Snow Palace, Bone Dissolving Sect, Golden Light Sect... one after another, families from the Northern Plains were breached. If the family’s Nascent Souls managed to escape in advance, that was good; if they resisted, they would be instantly annihilated.”

”Whether the Northern Plains Families ran away or not, the annihilation of the families had already become a foregone conclusion.”

”As the rear continued to collapse, the real and demon alliance front also fell without being defeated, and even with numerous contradictions, the Great Sun Sword Sect and the Great Sun Dharma Sect easily defeated the real and demon alliance forces. The Patriarch Nascent Souls fled, and family cultivators of the Golden Pill Foundation Building suffered heavy losses.”

”In the end, numerous Law Bodies of the Nascent Soul Immortals of the Northern Plains Families shattered, their Nascent Souls perished, and they nearly lost all of their territory.”

”Only Liudao Sect and the Guishan Tie Family barely held on, and for the moment, no one dared to make a move.”

Jiang Ding, reading this, understood the reason.

At the mountain gate of these two Northern Plains real and demon family leaders, were God-transforming level Formation Methods personally laid out by Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch. Although Immortals of Nascent Soul could not fully operate them, and even after ten thousand years without maintenance by a God-transforming level existence,

It is, after all, a God-transforming phase formation!

Therefore, no one dared to move.
