Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding expanded his Divine Sense, spreading it across a 1,600-kilometer radius, inspecting the current state of the Liudao Sect.

Over a hundred years had passed, and with numerous Spiritual Veins returning, the place had transformed into a Fifth-order Lower-grade Spirit Vein, and it is possible that within a few hundred years, as Spiritual Veins from the entire world converge here, it might even reach Fifth-order High-grade Spirit Vein.

Here, clouds and mist entwined year-round, with the Light of Primordial Magnet filling the sky, surrounded by the Secret Realms of the Court’s Blessed Land, the Secret Realms of the Luoxu Sect, and many Fourth-order Secret Realms, where the mist was dense and the vision was hazy.

From afar, it looked like an Immortal Holy Land.

Indeed, this place is to some extent an Immortal Holy Land.

The center of the entire world, innumerable Nascent Soul Monks and Golden Pill Monks gathered here, where each moment saw the birth of new Immortal Techniques and rising Elites making a name for themselves.

Any significant events that occurred here, any new Immortal Techniques that emerged, would be spread across the entire world in a short time.

Countless Foundation Establishment Golden Core Cultivators found their Dao opportunities here, breaking through their realms, and looking forward to the future.

The Immortal Path civilization of this Minor Thousand World was developing at a speed tens of times faster than in the past.

Jiang Ding’s gaze shifted downward, landing on the Yin Yang Magneto Spiritless Mountain, among the Cultivators and Demon Cultivators within it.

Undoubtedly, from the ruler’s perspective, the greatest wealth is talent, far more valuable than all kinds of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. It is the talents and their intellectual achievements that are the most precious wealth.

The Cultivators who lived on the Yin Yang Magneto Spiritless Mountain year-round were at most a tens of thousands, as too many people would affect the Spiritual Veins.

Among them, there were dozens of Cultivators with Sky Spiritual Roots, Demon Race with Earthly Quality Bloodline, those with special physiques, or those with astonishing wisdom and understanding, or those with great Battle Merits, or those who made undisputed achievements in fields such as agriculture, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and thus earned the qualification to Cultivate on the Yin Yang Magneto Spiritless Mountain.

Future Nascent Soul Monks and even Nascent Soul Cultivators would be born from them.

Jiang Ding’s gaze landed on a centipede winding its way along the mountain path.

The centipede, covered in gold-green color, was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet it carried an aura that even Golden Pill Monks were slightly wary of; its exoskeleton was more robust than the finest Supreme Magic Tools, and the passing Cultivators and Demon Cultivators looked at it with fear.

This centipede was the offspring of Bai Zu Heavenly Lord.

At sixty years old, it had grown to this level.

”Jia Jin, Dao Heart score, sixty-two...”

Jiang Ding called up his information.

Such a Dao Heart score would generally not qualify for the top Immortal Path education of Yin Yang Magneto Spiritless Mountain, where a minimum of eighty-five percent in the hundred-point system was required.

But Jia Jin’s talent was too high, surpassing the Demon Race’s Earthly Quality Bloodline, forcibly pulling up his total score.

Some members of the Governance Sect proposed to suppress him for a while, after all, his Dao Heart score was too low, barely satisfactory, but no one dared to violate the rules set by the Tushan Central Court, thus it was reported upward.

”Rule as law.”

Jiang Ding made his decision.

While dealing with official duties, he sent the recently acquired Ice Phoenix egg to the Governance Sect to handle the related matters.

These offspring of his enemies, if they could thrive under the system he created despite their low Dao Heart scores, then let them be, no need to care, no need to dread anything.

Merely some mixed-blood, Phoenix-like Demon Cultivators, if they dare to violate Tushan Law, they can be executed on the spot.

If they do not break Tushan Law and live within the Immortal Path system he personally built, everything they do is beneficial to him, beneficial to the economy, beneficial to the growth of the Immortal Path civilization.

Jiang Ding took some time to handle official affairs, randomly inspecting documents involving Nascent Soul and Golden Pill Cultivators, expressing praise, stern reprimanding, or issuing immediate arrest or execution orders, instructing the Tu Shan Maiden Corps and the Great Sun Longsword Metropolis Cultivators to deal with them.

It was also helpless that people started to take chances in just a few decades of not attending to governmental affairs, no longer strictly adhering to Tushan Law, and the strictly set monitoring laws became useless, corrupted.

”Still acceptable, no major disorderly acts have occurred.”

Jiang Ding set down the documents and looked at the most crucial financial report.

”This year’s tax revenue is 539 billion Low-grade Spirit Stones!”

”It has stabilized basically.”

”After this, with the world and industry development, as well as innovation in talent and technology, tax revenue will still slowly increase. Still, overall, it will stay like this, with no more significant changes.”

”It’s just enough to cover the interest on the loan from Xianmen Sect.”

Jiang Ding complained.

If it weren’t for the output of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, his yearly cultivation would have been barely affordable.

You see, the cost of a block of Great Sun Luminous Gold is 500 billion Low-grade Spirit Stones.

And that’s not all; the number-four Synthetic Gengjin from Xianmen Sect is also a terrific item, a fifth-order top-grade material, adding to Sword Refining significantly enhances the sharpness and resilience of Flying Swords.

Adding the two together, along with the expenses for Xianmen Sect loan interests, his annual expenses are around 1,500 top-grade Spirit Stones.

”The income from the Small World is 500 top-grade Spirit Stones, and the income from the Great Sun Heavenly Pond that falls into my hands is 400 top-grade Spirit Stones.”

”There’s still a shortfall of 600-top-grade Spirit Stones every year.”

Jiang Ding quietly calculated that his savings could last him a little over a hundred years.

This was all thanks to the accumulations of the Ice Phoenix Clan of the Ice Field Heavenly Monarch.

”The Great Sun Luminous Gold industrial chain of Xianmen Sect has begun to exert its power. Now, the cost of a block of Great Sun Luminous Gold has been reduced to just over 400 top-grade Spirit Stones, a reduction of one-fifth.”

”If this continues, it might even become profitable.”

”At that time, producing Great Sun Luminous Gold not only will not cost money, but it will also make money!”

Jiang Ding envisioned it.

With the breakthrough in application technology of Great Sun Luminous Gold in Xianmen Sect, it has begun to attempt to add Great Sun Luminous Gold to Warships and Starry Sky Fortresses, to enhance the amplification of the military soul ’crowd’.

”The Spiritual Veins of the entire world are under the control of Tushan Central Court.”

Jiang Ding’s thoughts came back around, his gaze looking into the distance, directed towards the area of Guishan Tie Family in the Northern Plains, where he had monitoring treasures constantly watching.

Those square metallic mountains were still the same, within which unknown Mutant beings sealed by Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch were.

After more than a hundred years of Spiritual Energy depletion, the Spirit Vein had fallen to the fifth level, which is now the Fourth Tier Superior Spiritual Vein, and it is estimated that in a few hundred years, the Spiritual Energy would be exhausted, not even a First-order Spiritual Vein would exist, and it would become a Land of Absolute Spirits under the effect of the surrounding Formation Methods.

”At that time, I am very curious about what that disconcerting thing is.”

”Are Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch and Mingguang Zi inside?”

Jiang Ding murmured.

The entire world was enveloped by the Great Sun World Defining Array, with no secrets, except for the Guishan Tie Family, which had become an unknown land due to the impact of fragments of Immortal Techniques.

For safety concerns, he had opted for the method of using time and spiritual depletion instead of a brute force attack.
