Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”This top-tier Domain Space Laboratory has been named by the Xianmen Sect as the ’Nine Spirits Realm Space Moon Exploration Project.’

”When you have time later, go there for some training, work as an apprentice, lend a hand. There, you can come into contact with various top-tier celestial technology research which is very beneficial for your path.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch suggested, then asked, ”Do you know about the Nine Spirits Realm?”

”I do not.”

Jiang Ding answered honestly.

”Then let’s change that; don’t go out there not even knowing the name of our Domain.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch took a cup of wine that Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch was slyly drinking from, moistened his lips, took a sip, and continued, ”The Nine Spirits Realm is a name given a long time ago when the Daymoon Sword Pavilion still existed. The Nine Great Immortal Sects conquered this Domain, and the name has been passed down by the Xianmen Sect.”

”Previously, no one used it because, aside from the extremely rare Cultivators brought here by spatial turbulence, this Domain hardly had any contact with outsiders.”

”This top-tier laboratory within the Domain, the Nine Spirits Space Moon Exploration Laboratory, has already seen many preliminary results.”

”It’s estimated that in another ten to twenty years, we’ll be able to safely unlock the storage space of the Horned Demon Emperor’s son, understand the research this race has done on Restrictions, and we’ve already been able to access the surface memories of the divine souls of the four captive Emperors.”

”We’ve confirmed that we are dealing with a strange Domain governed by the Horned Demon Imperial Clan called the Horned Ming Realm.”

”Some results have also emerged from the research on the Imperial Weapon Prototype of the Horned Demon Emperor’s son. We have named the Divine Gold contained within it as Blood Void Heavenly Abyssal Gold.

It’s a kind of Divine Inheritance Gold that can greatly enhance and nurture qi and blood, as well as cultivate space. Compared to the Xianmen Sect’s Magic Arts-Breaking Immortal Gold, it seems even better suited for concentrating and molding a Refining Void Space Prototype.”

”Jiang Ding, could you give me some? I’ll trade you Divinity Transformation Battle Merits and Magic Arts-Breaking Immortal Gold for it.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch changed the topic, asking, ”My daughter needs it—what she got for her battle merits isn’t enough.”

”No problem,”

”I’ll give as much as you need, senior,” Jiang Ding agreed readily, generously saying, ”As for the price, there’s no need to worry about that. Just give me a hand with the Great Sun Transformative Mystique.”

”As you know, for me, no amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, nor fortunes, is as important as that.”

”This…” Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch originally wanted to decline.

He wasn’t one to take advantage of the young.

But after hearing the last sentence and thinking it over, he stopped being indecisive and stopped refusing.

”Alright, it’s a deal,” Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch agreed.

”Anyway, the Nine Spirits Space Moon Exploration Laboratory is an incredibly luxurious assembly; an abundance of Immortal Research outcomes are being produced by it like a flowing river.”

He exclaimed.

”It can be said that the progress in Domain Immortal Technology, which took a hundred years in the past, does not match what’s been achieved in this one year.”

”Lastly,”

”The second cooperative initiative reached between the Immortal Sect and the Eight Great Immortal Sects is the search for potential spatial junction nodes between Domains.”

”We suspect that the Nine Spirits Realm and the Horned Demon Realm of the Horned Demon race have intersected due to the movement of the universe’s tides, creating secret spatial pathways.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch said gravely, ”Ten years ago, the Immortal Sect Fleet commanded by the Heavenly Monarch Wanji had already set off, converging with the eight Great Experts, along with a massive number of Immortal Sect’s Refining Void Dao Soldiers, frantically searching every corner of the Domain, collecting data on space fluctuations, hoping to find the secret spatial pathways or weak points in space before the Horned Demon race, thereby firmly securing them in our hands.”

”It’s equally important for the Xianmen Sect, a matter of life and death.”

”If we don’t wish to see the Eight Great Immortal Sects break through Above Void Refinement, when necessary, we will directly destroy this potential spatial pathway, ensuring Xiantian has the advantage.”

”That’s all.”

”The Immortal Sect and the Eight Great Immortal Sects have major differences and are unwilling to yield to each other, but there is also some cooperation, at least in keeping the enemy out of our Domain and preventing the flames of war from reaching our home turf, there’s consensus.”

”When the war truly comes, whether it will be cooperation or another round of even more ferocious civil war, I cannot see.”

”Thank you.”

”I am grateful for the senior’s guidance.”

Jiang Ding bowed in thanks, and then asked, ”Senior, I plan to collect from the Great Sun Heavenly Pond in some time. Will there be any difficulties in this regard? Will the Eight Great Immortal Sects obstruct me?”

The Great Sun Heavenly Pond belonged to him.

This wasn’t a matter of having a thick skin; the Yueling of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond recognized him.

Jiang Ding could control and even move the entire Formation Method of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond through the starry sky.

In its heyday, the Great Sun Heavenly Pond was equivalent to a Refinement Void Bastion, a cradle for the Dari Swordsman powerful enough to dominate most regions of the Domain and make Masters of Refining Nothingness wary.

The current situation was that the Great Sun Heavenly Pond had been shattered by the Xianmen Sect and the Eight Great Immortal Sects, leaving only a small part intact.

This small remaining part was jointly sealed by the Xianmen Sect and the Eight Great Immortal Sects and used as a training ground for their younger generations, opening once every thousand years, unable to break free.

”No problem.”

”The Great Sun Heavenly Pond is located in the territory of the Xianmen Sect. Not to mention that the situation in the Domain has already eased and a major battle is unlikely to occur easily, even during past hostile periods, it wouldn’t have had any impact.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch said cheerfully, ”The seal of the Xianmen Sect on the Great Sun Heavenly Pond has been lifted, and the seal of the Eight Great Immortal Sects will need some time to be worn away. It will require the active cooperation of the spirit of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond. You just need to make a trip there when the time comes.”

”There’s one more thing,”

”Brothers should settle accounts clearly.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch looked at Jiang Ding seriously and said, ”The Great Sun Heavenly Pond is a war spoils of the Xianmen Sect and the Eight Great Immortal Sects. Forget about the Eight Great Immortal Sects; they have no share in this. The Xianmen Sect has contributed significantly.”

”Therefore, the Xianmen Sect wants to occupy fifty percent of the shares.”

”This includes the Sun Flame Crystals and Moon Creek Crystals produced inside, as well as many top-tier Sword Dao Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures, and the Great Sun Soul Flame, which is very useful to cultivators and can keep a cultivator’s divine soul undying for a while, and so on.”

”The Xianmen Sect wants half of all these.”

”Of course, you will have complete control and management rights. The Xianmen Sect will merely audit to ensure that no official assets are lost.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch asked.

”Do you understand all this?”

”I understand.”

”It should be this way, it must be this way!”

Jiang Ding said solemnly, ”My interests and the interests of the Xianmen Sect must be fully preserved; that’s the way to long-term success.”

”Lacking the approval of any party or encroaching upon any party’s interests is unjust and unreasonable. I am determined to fight against such unfairness and will not compromise.”

”Hahaha!”

”Good, very good!”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch was greatly relieved.

…

Jiang Ding returned to his quarters on Silver Sky Island and sat cross-legged on the ground as smooth as a mirror.

Behind him, a Sun God Wood broke through the soil, growing upwards, climbing higher and higher—hundreds of meters, then kilometers, then two thousand kilometers…

In almost an instant, it surpassed its original height of one kilometer, without any pause, the trunk kept spreading towards the sky, its golden, dazzling leaves unfurling, filling one’s field of vision, endless in sight.

Twelve thousand kilometers high!

After breaking through to Nascent Soul, the form of the ancient tree manifested by the Taiqing Flying Sword grew to twelve thousand kilometers in height, its canopy spreading over more than ten kilometers, almost enough to accommodate a city, truly becoming the Cangtian Giant Tree as described in myths.

In correspondence,

The speed at which the Taiqing Flying Sword absorbed the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi and the Great Sun Essence increased dramatically!
