Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”There seems to be something I once carelessly left behind at the Six Paths Sect’s gates.”

Jiang Ding recalled some old memories.

Centuries ago, he stumbled upon the Divine Soul of Daoist Yin Tiankuang from the Six Paths Sect, examined it, and saw some things.

The mountain gate of the Six Paths Sect was anciently known as Yin Yang Magneto Spiritless Mountain.

Within its bounds, the Primordial Magnetism Force was wild; the Five Elements were banned, and the sky would often flash with black and white Yin Yang Magnetic Extreme Divine Lights. The phenomenon, labeled as a ’Dharma Calamity’ by the cultivators of the Six Paths Sect, forced them to hide in their cave mansions. Venturing outside during such times risked falling into demonic madness.

The founder of the Six Paths Sect was not Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch, but a more ancient Heavenly Monarch from a much older era, who was the true Ancestor Master of the sect.

This Heavenly Monarch smoothed the energies of Yin Yang Magneto Mountain, established the sect here, but still could not completely resolve the ’Dharma Calamity’ caused by the Yin Yang Magnetic Extreme Divine Light. Instead, he utilized it as part of the sect’s protective measures.

”Yin Yang Magnetic Extreme Divine Light...”

”This must be mine, a bunch of heretics and pests from the Northern Plains daring to occupy it!”

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

Following the Nascent Treasure comes the Primordial Spirit Treasure!

This stage’s Life Treasure could merge with the Divine Soul, greatly increasing a cultivator’s strength and control over Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi.

The inheritance of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion involves drawing upon the Heavenly Divine Light and infusing it into the Flying Sword, making the sword undergo ’Light Transformation’ for greater speed and sharpness.

The former Dari Swordsman did not take it away for some reason.

Possibly due to incompatibility,

Or because they mysteriously disappeared too soon to do so.

These things don’t matter.

After all, it belongs to him!

Jiang Ding continued to read on.

Nowadays, he had developed certain habits in how he conducted affairs, even if he felt he could overpower the Great Sun Sword Sect with his strength. The necessary information gathering, evaluating the situation and risks, everything required careful attention. Caution is the parent of safety.

The real battle isn’t just at the moment of fighting; it also involves all the thorough preparation, reconnaissance, and marching beforehand, where one must be careful and never negligent.

”The Demonslaying Alliance is now nearly annihilated.”

”They now rely on the Six Paths Sect and Rule Mountain, barely surviving, gathering a large number of severely injured Immortals of Nascent Soul, seemingly still retaining some strength, but in fact, they’re on the brink of collapse.”

”Dozens of Immortals of Nascent Soul are all gathered in two narrow places, unable to cultivate on their own, let alone cultivate together with their family members.”

”In order to ensure the cultivation of their own Nascent Soul Cultivators, the two sects’ Spiritual Veins can accommodate at most a dozen more Nascent Souls.”

”The rest are inevitably prohibited from drawing from the Spiritual Veins for cultivation and must instead rely on Spirit Stones, which in the long run will be unsustainable. The Demonslaying Alliance is bound to collapse, and the Immortals of Nascent Soul will disperse in all directions or become Loose Cultivators.”

”They cannot just wait on the mountain, letting time slip by and cultivation become difficult.”

”After the Demonslaying Alliance withdrew, the leftover Fourth-Order Spiritual Veins and territories were mostly divided between the Great Sun Sword Sect and the Great Sun Dharma Sect.”

”The remaining scraps were occupied by Immortals of Nascent Soul from the Demonslaying Alliance, such as Blood Cloud, who established three sects—Xueyun Sect, Return Stone Sect, True Martial Sect, collectively known as the Three Loose Cultivator Sects.”

”The situation in the Northern Plains did not stabilize as a result.”

Jiang Ding sped up his reading.

”Twenty-five years ago, the war between the Great Sun Sword Sect and the Great Sun Dharma Sect reignited, even more brutal and bloody than the war against the Demonslaying Alliance, and even more terrifying.”

”The Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators of the Great Sun Sword Sect, who had been dormant for centuries, amassed a terrifying combat zeal, often fighting to the death, willing to perish alongside their enemies. Although the Great Sun Dharma Sect had more Immortals of Nascent Soul, outnumbering them many times over, they were beaten into constant retreat, losing cities and lands.”

”Among them, the Peak Nascent Soul Cultivator, Immortal Jianyang of the Great Sun Sword Sect, was especially fearsome. He alone held off three Peak Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Great Sun Dharma Sect and suppressed them along with more than a dozen Nascent Soul Late-Stage Cultivators, his might unchallenged, hailed as the strongest in the Northern Plains.”

”Trash.”

Jiang Ding curled his lip.

With the inheritance of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion and being of the same level, he couldn’t even defeat three people!

He had utterly lost face!

No wonder the previous Dari Swordsman did not allow them to claim to be sword cultivators of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion; their strength was far too inferior, nowhere near qualified. It’s difficult to nurture a flood dragon in a small world.

”The Great Sun Dharma Sect is in dire straits, continuously losing ground on the battlefield.”

”They’ve started to court the Demonslaying Alliance, entice loose cultivators, promising many inheritances, many spirit lands, offering terms that are greatly tempting, aiming to form a ’Soul Destruction Alliance,’ to extinguish such extreme, mad sword cultivators, to eradicate a major threat from the Northern Plains.”

”Just when they were about to succeed, a change occurred.”

”The Wanyao Valley from the West Desert invaded the Northern Plains!”

A flash of murderous intent crossed Jiang Ding’s eyes.

”For ten thousand years, the human cultivators of the Northern Plains have been fighting among themselves, suppressing the development of their own kin, with brutal competition that never ceases for a moment. Meanwhile, the Wanyao Valley of the West Desert has been peacefully cultivating and nurturing their strength, with powerhouses emerging endlessly, possessing more than twenty peak Nascent Soul cultivators, and hundreds of demon monarchs at the Nascent Soul stage. The West Desert can no longer bear the burden.”

”At this moment, seizing the opportunity of the internal conflict in the Northern Plains, the top fighters from the Wanyao Valley, led by the Ice Phoenix Demon Monarch, launched a surprise attack on the mountain gate of the Great Sun Dharma Sect. They annihilated it in a single battle, slaughtering countless, leaving only a few Nascent Soul strong practitioners to flee in a panic.”

”The vast territories of the Great Sun Dharma Sect were occupied by a horde of demons, billions of cultivators and ordinary humans were slaughtered, turned into breeding grounds for the demons. Only a few populous cities were spared, preserved and used by the demon race as a paddock, becoming exotic food for the demon elites.”

”The Great Sun Dharma Sect was annihilated!”

”The Northern Plains were terrified, the people panic-stricken.”

When Jiang Ding saw this information, he could imagine how terrified the maid who recorded this data must have been, her body shivering.

When humans fought amongst themselves, whether it was diabolism or the righteous path, enemies might die, but most ordinary people and cultivators could survive, as sects need cultivators to serve them; otherwise, an empty land is of no use.

But with the demon race, it meant the entire human race was to be devoured, viewed as nourishment for food and advancement.

”That’s the current situation.”

”Now, with the might of the demon race being so large, even the Great Sun Sword Sect, full of sword madmen, has to be cautious, retreating to defend their mountain gate, and has sent immortals to reach out to allies in all directions, hoping to garner more support.”

After Jiang Ding reviewed all of the information, he closed his eyes slightly, calculating for a moment.

”It will suffice.”

Jiang Ding opened his eyes, ”First I’ll go to the Great Sun Sword Sect to claim my compensation, and after advancing to Nascent Soul, then I will deal with the demon race.”

”Anyone who stands in my way, kill them.”

”Just like that.”

Gradually, his figure vanished from sight.

Meanwhile, an order was being composed within his divine soul, not yet dispatched to the Tu Shan Maiden Corps Central Courtyard, waiting for the right time.

”Make every effort to stay undercover.”

”Infiltrate the imagined enemy as a divinity transformation cultivator. If captured, you can surrender, cooperate with the enemy’s interrogation, without guilt.”

The path is cruel.

This is all he could do for the Tu Shan maidens.

If they were implicated and killed, regardless of who it was, even if it was a divinity transformation cultivator, he would personally slay them for vengeance in the future.

Beyond that, there is nothing else.
