Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Divinity Transformation?

Divinity Transformation Heavenly Monarch!

Han Lin’s heart churned like tumultuous seas, his mind went blank, and a myriad of thoughts danced chaotically.

However, to his surprise, he seemed not too astounded, as if it was to be expected, and he had been mentally prepared.

”Little martial uncle,”

”Little martial uncle, it has been many years since we last met.”

Han Lin sighed.

Unlike ordinary cultivators, such as Mu Tiansnow, who would treat a Heavenly Monarch like a deity, Han Lin naturally conversed with the other party as an old acquaintance.

The two always interacted this way.

The friendship between gentlemen is like water; no one is beholden to the other, and interest and emotion do not intermingle.

This kind of feeling even surpassed the old voice.

In fact, if there came a day when something needed to be entrusted, Han Lin would not choose him but would instead choose the voice that had suddenly appeared in his heart, even though the latter did not consider him a good friend, just a somewhat familiar old acquaintance.

”Indeed, it has been many years, and you have ascended to Immortal of Nascent Soul, which is very good. Among the old friends from Yue Country, only one or two of us have managed to do so.”

”The others are very hard to come across now.”

Jiang Ding nodded.

The two reminisced about many past events and both felt emotional.

”Little martial uncle,”

Han Lin cupped his hands in a greeting and said, ”I am willing to participate in this deal.”

”Oh? You’re not asking what the reward is?”

”This is a matter of risking one’s life.”

Jiang Ding stated seriously.

”I won’t hide it from you, this matter carries danger. If you are discovered by the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Liudao Sect and surrounded by many, I will not be able to quickly break through the Deity Transformation Great Formation to rescue you.”

”Haha, little martial uncle, I am well aware of the dangers,”

Han Lin laughed, ”I came here to the Liudao Sect precisely to risk my life. If I cannot break through the bottleneck at the early stage of Nascent Soul, I would rather die.”

”As for the reward…”

”I trust that little martial uncle will not disappoint me.”

Han Lin recalled many past experiences.

Within the Nine Heavens Secret Realm, at the gate of the Luoxu Clan, and in the Court’s Blessed Land, whenever the other party had made clear promises, there had never been a breach of contract. The two had cooperated many times, building up this trust.

”That is not a good habit of yours.”

”No one’s morals are consistently unchanging. If you don’t make an agreement in advance and wait until it’s time to give the reward, it won’t look good for either party.”

”You might think it’s too little, I might think it’s too much, these are common occurrences, unnecessarily creating much filth.”

Jiang Ding shook his head slightly.

”I just heard you talk about Magneto Spiritual Liquid, it’s that specialty of the Liudao Sect, isn’t it? I’ll give you a bottle.”

”Additionally, I’ll give you ten billion Low-grade Spirit Stones, which you can freely use to exchange for Fourth-rank Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.”

”How does that sound to you?”

Jiang Ding inquired.

This was not a forced request.

If the other party was unwilling, he would not raise the price but would seek other means instead. He wouldn’t allow an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to have leverage over him, affecting the breaking of the formation.

There are more than enough Nascent Soul Monks, no one is irreplaceable.

”A bottle, of Primordial Magnetite Spirit Liquid?!”

Han Lin’s breathing hitched.

Primordial Magnetite Spirit Liquid was one of the Liudao Sect’s top Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, often only sold once every few hundred years, and even then only to direct lineage cultivators from the Northern Plains Families.

Often a single drop could provoke many cultivators to fight over it.

Now it was an entire bottle!

Upon hearing about the ten billion Low-grade Spirit Stones worth of Fourth-rank Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Han Lin’s eyes blazed with eagerness, completely uncontrollable.

After practicing cultivation for hundreds of years and barely having many adventures, surviving against all odds, after everything, not counting his trump cards, his entire net worth amounted to just two or three billion Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Now, his fortune could triple in an instant!

Heavenly Monarch!

Truly worthy of the title Heavenly Monarch!

The generosity of the offering was truly astounding.

”Little martial uncle, you are correct in your lesson,”

”I will do as you say.”

Han Lin bowed respectfully and said with sincere conviction.

”If that is the case, so much the better.”

Jiang Ding nodded his head, transmitting his voice, ”A thousand li beyond the gates of the Liudao Sect, there are nine Sword Talismans beneath a piece of greenstone. Retrieve them and place them where I need them to be.”

”Remember, your own safety is of the utmost importance. It’s alright if the task is not completed.”

”If you fail, I have other methods. Do not force yourself.”

”Yes, Little Ancestor Uncle, your disciple understands!”

Han Lin replied solemnly.

After agreeing, he did not immediately set off but continued his regular cultivation practice for more than ten days. Following the cultivation habits of Yin Tianxiu’s body, he advanced his cultivation base by a fraction before casually exiting his Cave Mansion.

Leaving the Cave Mansion, he did not head straight for his destination.

He went to Dizifeng Peak to listen to the duty officer’s lecture as usual, then took on a demon extermination task from the Sect. Only after that did he set off with a group of Yin’s fellow senior and junior disciples, laughing and chatting along the way out of the Sect.

”Not bad.”

”Quite professional indeed.”

In his Sea of Consciousness, Jiang Ding kept calculating the Deity Transformation Great Formation of the Liudao Sect, sparing a wisp of Divine Soul to pay attention to the other party, and he could not help but nod in approval.

Han Lin was indeed a talent.

Apart from his mediocre aptitude, he excelled in all other aspects. As long as you entrusted him with a task and he was willing to accept it, he could accomplish almost anything with a guarantee of his own safety.

In some ways, this was quite strong.

After taking a look, he turned his attention elsewhere.

Jiang Ding recalled the intelligence he had gathered from the past.

”The great formation of the Liudao Sect is called the Six Dao Reincarnation Lifeless Great Formation, created by the Ancestor Master of the Liudao Sect. Even Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch, who occupied this place later, didn’t build a new one, holding this formation in high esteem and appreciating it greatly,” he mused.

”This Great Formation is inspired by the Six Paths of Reincarnation: Hell Dao, Human Dao, Asura Path, Ghost Dao, Heavenly Dao, and Beast Dao, repeating endlessly and claimed to be unbreakable.”

”If I want to break the formation, I must embed ’nails’ into the Six Paths of Reincarnation to stop their undying cycle. Otherwise, as time passes, if Heavenly Monarch Wan Zhu is alerted and arrives via teleportation from Rule Mountain Guishan Tie Family, I will certainly stand no chance...”

Jiang Ding fell into deep thought as countless formation runes appeared and vanished within his Divine Soul, constantly calculating.

...

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

It really was in the blink of an eye.

For Divinity Transformation Cultivators, let alone Immortals of Nascent Soul, such a timespan was easily disregarded. Even the flying time of the Ice Snow Palace of the Demon Race Empire in the sky often surpassed this duration without wonder, akin to mere hours for mortals.

Even a father’s concern for his daughter would not prompt a call every few hours.

Within the grand hall of the Liudao Sect.

The most powerful figure in Northern Plains Diabolism, Six Fingered Old Demon, awakened from his cultivation.

This man, gaunt and withered, no longer bore the commonly beautiful and jade-like appearance of Yin’s disciples from decades before. With his Life Energy nearly depleted, his life approached its end; he no longer cared about his outward appearance.

The Six Fingered Old Demon felt an inexplicable sense of alarm.

At a glance, it seemed as if the whole world had become a dreadful demonic realm swarming with various ghosts and monsters eager to devour him.

”This sudden feeling,”

”Could it be...”

The Six Fingered Old Demon did not take this as an illusion and felt a sinking feeling in his heart, realizing something.

”Could it be that the Ancestor can no longer endure?”

”Yet, I am among the cultivators in the family with the greatest hope of advancing to Divinity Transformation! With the Ancestor’s life nearing its end, I carry the expectation of passing on the family’s bloodline.”

”I cannot accept this, truly I cannot...”

These thoughts instantly arose in his mind without any doubts, absolute certainty filling him.

Enveloped in the modified Deity Transformation Great Formation by Ancestor Shuoyang, could there be any external force capable of affecting his life and death?

Impossible.

It had to come from within!

This sort of event had occurred many times over ten thousand years, usually involving pinnacle Peak Nascent Soul Cultivators of the families, powerful and influential, leading their clans.

”Ancestor!”

”Ancestor!”

”The family can no longer afford to fray from within... Nowadays, with multiple powerhouses in the Northern Plains, with the Demon Race’s invasion, the downfall and extinction of our family are just around the corner...”

The Six Fingered Old Demon exhibited a look of despair and bellowed loudly.

Boom!

At that moment, a terrifying explosion occurred.

A resplendent Great Sun rose in the sky above the Liudao Sect!

Endless light filled the heavens and earth, bringing with it destruction, forbidden power, scorching heat, and anomalies.

All the Nascent Soul Immortals and Golden Pill Monks of the Liudao Sect found their Divine Souls wiped blank, frozen and petrified.
