Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding’s Divine Sense and Sword Intent burst forth unreservedly, meticulously searching throughout the Great Sun Sword Sect’s gate.

Mountains, stones, plants, animals, cultivators...

He spared none.

The spirit incarnate could become anything; it possessed spiritual intelligence and might be watching here, still undecided, hesitating about something.

Jiang Ding would not allow it to hesitate.

According to procedure, it should have passed on the legacy to him right away!

The Taiqing Flying Sword hummed as it spread its sword-light in all directions, signaling both destruction and its own arrival.

This was proof, this was the key, this was status.

According to the Sword Law, everyone below the Great Sun Sword Master, even the Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarch, must come forward to greet him!

The terrifying Sword Intent of Destruction spread out, scanning every place.

”Found... you!”

Jiang Ding revealed a chilling smile, looking at a dark-skinned, stout little fellow amongst the tens of thousands of swordsman cultivators kneeling on the ground, at the early stage of foundation establishment.

Hum!

The moment he saw him, the Taiqing Flying Sword softly moaned, its innate memories partially awakening.

Black.

This spirit’s name was Hei, the spirit tasked with the legacy of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion.

”Hei.”

”This is our first meeting,”

Jiang Ding said calmly, ”Given that you are the Sword Pavilion Legacy Messenger, why do you not kneel upon seeing me?”

Sword Pavilion Legacy Messenger!

Surrounded by the shocked Immortals like Immortal Jianyang, Tianyang Immortal, and True Master Void Square, they followed the gaze to the dark-skinned, stout little fellow.

His name was Liu Hei, a junior of foundation establishment within the sect, who had entered the sect one hundred and eleven years ago with ordinary talent, completely unremarkable and often overlooked.

This thought appeared in the Divine Souls of many immortals.

’So it is.’

’He is our sect’s disciple, ordinary and not worth attention.’

Many immortals showed an expression of sudden realization, quickly forgetting this matter, no longer paying attention to him.

”No, not a disciple... but a legacy messenger...”

”No, our sect’s disciple, ordinary...”

Some immortals showed a struggling expression, but after a moment, the look of struggle swiftly disappeared, their faces serene, completely ignoring it as if he were just any other ordinary sect disciple.

Only True Master Void Square, Tianyang Immortal, and Immortal Jianyang held fast, desperately struggling to keep their mental focus, staring intently at the dark-skinned fatty, constantly reminding themselves, and thus barely managing not to forget.

’Sword Pavilion Legacy Messenger...’

A massive desire rose in their hearts.

Within the Great Sun Sword Sect, the highest legacy was the Classics-grade practice methods; even though they, as exceptionally talented individuals, had been summoned by the spirit before, it was still just so.

They had once inquired why.

The reply was that their abilities and status were insufficient to study the higher-level Sword Pavilion legacy.

Naturally, this was frustrating and hard to accept.

They were already the strongest and most talented cultivators of the Northern Plains; why couldn’t they access it? Were they supposed to let these Supreme Classics rot in stacks of old papers?

No one believed they were inherently inferior to others.

’If I could study the Jing-level Cultivation Methods of the Sword Pavilion, even the fundamental techniques of the Great Sun Swordsman, it would not just be today’s level, but also a great hope for achieving Divinity Transformation,’

Immortal Jianyang murmured in his heart.

If True Master Void Square and the others said that their sword dao talent was the pinnacle of the Northern Plains,

then he, Jianyang, could claim to be the number one in sword dao talent of the Northern Plains, unparalleled!

A thousand years ago, when he was ambitious and arrogantly considered himself a top outstanding figure of the domain, he demanded from the legacy spirit the fundamental techniques of the Great Sun Swordsman’s inheritance.

There was only silence, with no response at all.

Now, the legacy spirit appeared before them again!

Why do you not bow before me?

Faced with Jiang Ding’s questioning, the dark-skinned little fatty had to answer, daring not to remain silent.

Stepping forward, he deeply bowed, executing the complicated and ancient sword dao etiquette that had been part of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion’s legacy for hundreds of thousands of years, deeply bending: ”I greet you, sir. May your path of the sword flourish.”

”Answer my question.”

Jiang Ding said indifferently, ”Why do you not kneel?”

”Sir,”

”I cannot confirm your identity.”

The dark-skinned, chubby boy once again bowed deeply.

”Where?”

”Is there anything wrong with the Great Sun Flying Sword?”

Jiang Ding gently stroked the sword hilt and asked.

”There is nothing wrong with the Great Sun Flying Sword.”

”But, but...”

The dark-skinned, chubby boy showed a struggling expression, ”This domain should not have a Dari Swordsman, it defies common sense.

Moreover, the aura on you seems slightly similar to some enemies whose identities have yet to be confirmed.

I really cannot judge.”

”There is nothing wrong with the Great Sun Flying Sword.”

”There is nothing wrong.”

Jiang Ding looked at him indifferently, offering no excuses, saying nothing.

The Taiqing Flying Sword buzzed and vibrated.

The moment she witnessed this dark-skinned spiritual intelligence, she awakened a certain instinct.

It was not something imposed on her through magic.

Instead, this spiritual intelligence was inherently built to meet the needs of the Great Sun Flying Sword.

The Great Sun Flying Sword came first, then he appeared.

It was like first creating a key, then building a lock for it, having merely an existence, a natural suppressive relationship ensued.

”Ah!”

”No!”

Merely being watched by the Taiqing Flying Sword, the dark-skinned spiritual intelligence screamed in agony as porcelain-like vicious blood marks appeared on his face. Even though he possessed some terrifying Causal Skill, intangible and incorporeal, possessing an Undying body was useless, and he was so fragile.

”Swordsman, spare my life!”

”Spare my life!”

”I know my mistake!”

The dark-skinned, chubby boy screamed repeatedly, daring not to delay any further, he knelt on both knees, ”Sword Pavilion Envoy Hei, incarnation ninety-seven, greets the Swordsman!”

”Incarnation ninety-seven?”

Jiang Ding’s gaze flashed.

”Yes, Swordsman.”

The dark-skinned, chubby boy respectfully said, ”I am an incarnation left behind by the Sword Pavilion Envoy Hei, in charge of the Sword Pavilion legacy in this region, Hei is currently under another contemporary Great Sun Swordsman...”

Crack!

Another blood mark appeared on his face, his body trembled.

”Not a previous generation.”

”You haven’t completed killing, these are all contemporary Great Sun Swordsmen.”

The dark-skinned, chubby boy’s body shivered weakly, enduring the immense pain in his body and Divine Soul, ”Hei’s main body is currently under another contemporary Great Sun Swordsman.”

”According to the Sword Pavilion Law, the Sword Pavilion Legacy Messenger can only acknowledge one Great Sun Swordsman at the same place and time.”

”In my possession, there is only the Nascent Soul Stage legacy, which I can give to you now.”

”If you want the rest of the legacy, just kill the other contemporary Great Sun Swordsman, and Hei will give you all of the legacy.”

”Alternatively, if you climb Yang Min Mountain where the Sword Master of the Sword Pavilion resides and gain approval from the Sword Master, you can also obtain the complete legacy.”

”These are the only two methods.”

”Only the legacy of the Nascent Soul Stage?”

Jiang Ding frowned, then his expression relaxed.

”Let’s begin.”

Having something is better than having nothing.

All Immortal Sects are like this, scrimping and saving, every status and identity matching a corresponding Cultivation Method, never exceeding any, even if not knowing about the previous generation Great Sun Swordsman’s lone escape, he would not have been able to obtain the complete legacy, just like Yu Qianzi and other Taoist disciples.
