Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Opportunities were rare.

Jiang Ding quickly asked the seniors around him what he should pay attention to after Infant Formation and how he should proceed in the future to ensure a more secure path to Divinity Transformation.

After pondering these questions, people like Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch and Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch, based on his circumstances, all gave their detailed suggestions involving Divine Soul, Mana, Sword Intent, Dao Heart, and fleets, benefiting Jiang Ding greatly.

”Senior Divine Mechanism, what is the current situation in the domain?”

Jiang Ding asked, not forgetting this matter.

Horned Demon Imperial Clan.

And there was also an unknown external force.

This made him uneasy during his usual cultivation retreats, constantly fearing that one day he might wake up to see countless armies of Horned Demons breaking through Xianmen’s defenses and invading the Mother Star.

Many Heavenly Monarchs chatting with friends nearby looked this way, obviously also very concerned about this matter.

”How is it?”

”That’s not easy to say.”

”One can only say that no significant changes have appeared for now.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch pondered for a moment and said, ”Ten years ago, right when you entered the internal examination of the Central Array Spirit Computer’s mainframe.

An envoy from the Eight Great Immortal Sects, stationed at Xianmen, had applied for a meeting simultaneously, and merely minutes later, a delegation a hundred times more prestigious than any before, led personally by the Sect Masters of the Immortal Sects, had already arrived at Xianmen.”

”Minutes?”

Jiang Ding was stunned, doubting that Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch had misspoken.

”Yes, just minutes, to be precise, seven minutes, twenty-seven seconds, and thirty-six.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch exclaimed, ”The Immortal Sects, always sluggish in handling affairs, something as trivial as visa issuance for Xianmen embassy personnel takes decades or even centuries if involving Nascent Soul Cultivators. Their efficiency is horrifyingly low and has always been despised by Xianmen’s Foreign Affairs Department.”

”But this time, they were able to shorten such a vast scale activity to seven minutes. In this brief time, they crossed such a vast Star Domain, arrived at the borders of Xianmen’s territories, and after multiple screenings, they reached Xianmen’s Mother Star.”

”However, the madness of the Immortal Sects was not just limited to this.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch said, ”In their delegation, it wasn’t the Sect Masters who decided but the avatars of Great Experts, secretly hidden Great Expert avatars!”

”Ding!”

In that moment, the sound from the Central Array Spirit Computer reached the ears of all Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarchs and Jiang Ding.”

”You are now accessing first-level secrets, please adhere strictly to the confidentiality rules.”

Along with the warning, the power of the Xianmen Oath was also attached, enhancing its level, ensuring that even if they were captured by Masters of Refining Nothingness in the future, they couldn’t completely disclose the secrets through Soul Searching.”

Jiang Ding’s expression grew stern.

”Eight Great Expert avatars personally made the visit, so urgent a visit is unprecedented and never seen before.”

”They obtained a meeting with Yuan at the Citizens’ Hall and have been discussing there for a long time, a conversation that has been ongoing for ten years and has not ended to this day.”

”I estimate that it might not end even after another ten years.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch shook his head.

”Why is that?”

Jiang Ding inquired, learning about the major trends in the domain from his senior, to aid his own growth.

”The differences between the Immortal Sects and Xianmen are too great.”

”It’s difficult to reach a consensus.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch said, ”What the Immortal Sects want is to go beyond Void Refinement. For that, they can give up a lot, but can we agree to that?”

”Forget about any Daoist Pact or Alliance, these have all rotted away.”

”If a position above Void Refinement were to emerge in the Immortal Sects, we would be doomed!”

”Is this something we can compromise on?”

”That is the demand of the Immortal Sects, what is our demand?”

”Refining Nothingness.”

”Our demands are simple. The Eight Great Immortal Sects should open the Nascent Soul Legacy, provide assistance for breakthroughs to the Refinement Void Level, and let us ascend to Refining Nothingness.”

”We, the Immortal Sects, cannot accept that.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch said helplessly, ”We have repeatedly emphasized that even if Yuan ascends to Refining Nothingness, before the new generation of Forbidden Nuclear Weapons, the new Refinement Void Warships, and the new tactics of the Void Refining Army Formation are introduced, there is no capability to annihilate them, only that they would be somewhat stronger than now.”

”But they don’t believe it.”

”These people lack scientific literacy completely. What can easily be calculated, they simply don’t believe.”

”Basically, there’s no agreement.”

”Does that mean our forces are completely internally depleted, unable to form a joint force?”

Jiang Ding’s back felt a bit chilly.

Those from the Horned Demon Race Emperor called everyone else human slaves, lowly races, inherently prone to internal strife.

Is this going to become the reality?

”Not exactly, there is some initial cooperation.”

”To put it unpleasantly, if the Immortal Sects annihilate the Immortal Path, some civilians could still survive as slaves. If the Immortal Path annihilates the Immortal Sects, they might even treat them better, at least a large number of top-end Immortal Path technologists would be accepted, ensuring the race isn’t wiped out.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch shook his head, ”A few minutes after the representatives of the Eight Great Immortal Sects met with Yuan, Xianmen had already established some preliminary cooperation with the Eight Great Immortal Sects.”

”Mainly, it involves establishing a top domain space research institution to backtrace the coordinates of the Horned Demon Domain by gathering the four captured Emperors and a large number of Horned Demon Imperial Guards.”

”Furthermore, gathering a large number of Divinity Transformation Cultivators and Immortals of Nascent Soul from both Xianmen and Eight Great Immortal Sects as researchers.”

”Even a Great Expert of the Immortal Sects promised to personally participate.”

”If there is any need, just speak to him directly, no need to hesitate about anything,” said the Great Expert.

”Those words are quite tactful.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch spoke bluntly, not giving any face to the Masters of Refining Nothingness.

”My understanding is, we can basically use them as beasts of burden, usually they won’t turn hostile.”

Beasts of burden!

Refinement Void Level beasts of burden!

Jiang Ding swallowed a gulp of saliva and drooled a little.

If he had a Master of Refining Nothingness as a laborer, the research progress on the Great Sun Transformative Mystique and Swordsmanship wouldn’t be ashamed to accelerate hundreds of times.

”To tell the truth,”

”We have already mixed in some of our own problems with materials, breakthrough in Refining Nothingness, exploring the Starry Sky Fortress’s above war weapons, and your Great Sun Transformative Mystique into the Domain Space Exploration, integrating them seamlessly, indistinguishable from each other.”

”While backtracing the spatial coordinates of the Horned Demon Domain, these issues also need to be partially resolved.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch said naturally, without a hint of embarrassment.

”Uh, can’t they see it?”

Jiang Ding was stunned, his eyes wide open, highly admiring the sneaky operations of his seniors.

”Maybe they see it, maybe they don’t.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch said unconcernedly, ”In terms of Immortal Path research and computational capabilities, Xianmen is the top in the domain; they need us, so they can take it or leave it.”

”Besides, some technologies are indeed both necessities for us and for backtracing the domain coordinates. The two needs coexist.”

”Coincidentally, there are quite a few such instances.”

”We can’t help it.”

”You need to have confidence in our scientific research planning capability.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch laughed, ”Many things are genuinely critical, top Immortal Path exploration projects, like ancient lunar exploration projects, inherently capable of driving breakthroughs in various technological fields significantly.”

”This is common sense in the domain, and no one can change it.”
