Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Unlike the celestial phenomena of the Big Dipper seen from Xianmen Sect, the Great Sun World Defining Array of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion is like a brilliant Great Sun hanging high in the sky, faintly overlapping with the Sun Star within the domain, forming a unity.

The radiant light from the Great Sun illuminates the land in the Minor Thousand World, shining on the Southern Border, the West Desert, the Northern Plains, and upon the Eastern Sea. Details of all kinds are clearly visible, with precision surpassing three meters, with the aura of Nascent Soul and above laid bare, impossible to hide.

This is the strategic-level Formation Method of the Immortal Sects, the Great Sun World Defining Array!

It is with this that the Immortal Sects firmly control the Minor Thousand World, making internal subversion highly unlikely.

”Let me see...”

Jiang Ding’s Divine Sense surged into the core of the Great Sun within the Great Sun World Defining Array.

Instantly, countless pieces of information flooded into the Sea of Consciousness, sweeping up like mighty waves, Divine Souls at the Divinity Transformation Level barely able to withstand, compelled to frantically categorize and analyze the different types of information, swiftly discarding unnecessary details as they flash by.

Jiang Ding blocked over eighty percent of the incoming information, only then feeling some relief in the Sea of Consciousness.

This information included sunlight of the Minor Thousand World, the winds of the four seasons, ocean tides, geologic movements, changes in Earth’s Qi, and the influence of the numbers of living beings on their environment... and so on, touching upon every aspect of the Minor Thousand World, no matter how significant or trivial.

It was as if a heavenly information hub had been fitted upon the Minor Thousand World!

”This thing is definitely a product of Immortal Path achievements beyond the Refinement Void Level!”

Upon contact, Jiang Ding immediately understood something.

Boundary Formation is one of the distinguishing features between Native forces and Immortal Sect Forces.

Now, it appears highly likely to be an inheritance from Ancestor Masters of older Sects, stemming from a foreign Immortal Path civilization, not developed by the Nine Great Immortal Sects within this domain.

”This thing is very helpful for understanding the Sword Realm Space...”

Jiang Ding’s gaze grew somewhat distant.

Comparing with the nascent form of the Great Sun Sword Realm Space at his glabella to that of a real Minor Thousand World immediately revealed many subtle discrepancies.

If these could be corrected little by little, the growth of the Refining Void Space form would surely accelerate.

This must be one of those subtle tricks.

Not included in the Grest Sun inheritance because, to the Ancestors of the Sword Pavilion who scripted it, this was as basic as common knowledge, no need for specific notation.

This is the foundation gap between Xianmen Sect and Immortal Sects, made up of countless details, big and small.

”Write it down; it will be helpful to Gu Lin True Lord and later Xianmen Sect practitioners who cultivate to reach Refining Void Space.”

Jiang Ding silently took note.

For now, he slowed his understanding of the Sword Realm Space and focused his Divine Sense and Sword Intent on the reconnaissance and search Formation Method of the Great Sun World Defining Array.

Buzz!

High in the sky, the core of the Great Sun World Defining Array merged almost as one with the Sun Star, suddenly pulsating with light, and myriad rays converged. A splendid beam of light descended upon the land, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers without affecting the living creatures within, merely shining over them briefly.

The resplendent beam formed by the Boundary Formation methodically swept over the Northern Plains, illuminating every inch of the grasslands.

This scene was like the Domain Lord surveying his domain, with countless living beings trembling in fear, bodies stiffened, daring not to move haphazardly to avoid catastrophic misunderstandings.

The golden beam continued to scan the Northern Plains.

Several days later.

”The Northern Plains, nothing.”

”Xi Ping’an and Bai Zu Heavenly Lord are not in the Northern Plains.”

Jiang Ding took out a Jade Slip to record this result and the process of the Boundary Formation’s search, in case he missed anything.

This result should be trustworthy.

Unless someone at the Refinement Void Level were concealed, even Jiang Ding himself could not escape detection from the Boundary Formation’s scan, and would inevitably be exposed. After all, this is the scan of an entire domain’s power, an extraordinary strategic-level Immortal Path achievement.

”Continue scanning.”

```

”West Desert... no, but a secret vault of the Ice Phoenix Clan was found, with an Ice Phoenix egg inside, and a lot of money... all mine...”

”Southern Border... no... found many fifth-order Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures, hidden in many secret corners that no one has ever been to...”

”East Sea... nothing... Xi Ping’an cleaned out everything, damn it! That’s my money...”

”Huh?”

Jiang Ding’s gaze suddenly stiffened.

The sunlight gold beam sweeping the East Sea suddenly stopped, shining directly on an ordinary little island in the Endless Sea Territory.

This little island had not a trace of Spiritual Energy, and was inhabited by many ordinary birds called Blazing Flamingos, with bodies crimson red, shaped like flames.

Rarely would cultivators pass by here, and even if they did, they wouldn’t be interested, for these were just ordinary birds, of no use to cultivation.

At that moment, the sunlight beam fell directly onto the flock of Blazing Flamingos.

”Quack quack...”

The flock of Blazing Flamingos made unpleasant noises, scattering in all directions, disregarding even the eggs in their nests on the beach that they were hatching, as the fiery red feathers flew chaotically.

Only one Blazing Flamingo remained motionless.

This Blazing Flamingo was just as ordinary, originally one among hundreds of thousands of hatching flamingos, and when the dazzling beam of sunlight shone down, it too panicked and fluttered about, nothing out of the ordinary.

Yet, within the sunlight beam, a force emerged that solidified the space, trapping all its movements.

”Fellow Daoist, has it been... sixty years?”

Jiang Ding nodded, his figure vanishing within the white light of spatial teleportation from the Liudao Sect’s Dark Demon Palace.

In the next instant, Jiang Ding appeared on this spiritually barren little island, observing the Blazing Flamingo trapped in mid-air.

Its body motionless, eyeballs whirling in terror, it looked no different from an ordinary female Blazing Flamingo, an ordinary bird, whether by Divine Sense or physical appearance.

”Bai Zu fellow cultivator,”

”It’s been many years, I’ve missed you.”

Jiang Ding said with a slight smile: ”Sixty years ago, this Lord visited the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect to see fellow Daoist, but your Honorable Madam said you were not home and had gone far away on a journey. I still regret that to this day.”

”Unexpectedly, I am meeting fellow Daoist now, fortunate indeed.”

Clang~

Jiang Ding’s hand touched the sword hilt, drawing it out bit by bit.

In the air, the space for thousands of miles suddenly solidified, a pressure as heavy as the sea and falling stars descending upon the world, the roiling waves of the sea for tens of thousands of miles forcibly smoothed down, as smooth as a mirror, without a single ripple.

”Quack quack...”

This Blazing Flamingo was still in a frantic state of terror, as if it truly were an ordinary bird.

Clang!

The sword unsheathed, striking down.

The body of the Blazing Flamingo stiffened.

Centered around its beak, wings, and chest, a bloody mark blossomed, tore apart, and what emerged was not a scene of blood and feathers flying everywhere, but rather a centipede inflating rapidly like a blown-up balloon, with a golden-green hue and the upper body of a Taoist with the air of immortality.

”How did you discover me?”

Bai Zu Heavenly Lord’s voice was low, looking up at the Great Sun World Defining Sun in the sky, his mood sinking even lower.

”Is it that?”

”No wonder, Xi Ping’an refused to hide with me, resolutely flying towards the Outer Realm starry sky, unwilling to stay a moment longer.”

He said with a sense of loss.
