Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Horned Ming Realm.

Near the domain passage, there is a Minor World called Magical Stone Minor Realm.

On this day, within this world, a Human Race slave clad in tattered clothes, ordinary in appearance and status, devoid of any entangled destiny of love, hatred, or grudge, suddenly displayed a flicker of intelligent light in his numb eyes, which then quickly disappeared.

Inside his Divine Soul, a special type of soul power began to emerge, containing traces of the Great Sun and the aura of electromagnetism.

”Magical Stone Minor Realm...”

Jiang Ding murmured softly.

This Human Race slave’s name was Pillar, without a surname, with a Cultivation Base at the Seventh Level of Qi Practicing; he was already dead.

Not poisoned, nor secretly harmed by envying overseers, nor had he offended any noble lady; he simply died suddenly, very ordinarily.

A slave, practicing a Qi cultivation method that damages potential, working daily in the mines without rest, suddenly dying is quite normal, nothing strange, as lowly as that.

Similarly, not dying and continuing to live a while longer isn’t anything strange either.

Everything was ordinary, without any sign that could arouse suspicion.

Jiang Ding maintained his nearly dead Divine Soul, and hid his body and soul inside this person’s body through the Shadow Devil Abyss Secret Technique ’Soul Hiding Divine Technique’.

At this time, nine Taoist disciples had silently descended into the Horned Ming Realm.

Jiang Ding did not know where the other Taoist disciples had gone, nor was he interested, and he would not allow others to know where he was; thus, he came to this remote small city.

He plans to do nothing for several decades, just observe, and then observe some more before setting his plans into motion.

”This Minor Thousand World’s location and intelligence...”

Jiang Ding fell into contemplation, recalling intelligence previously conveyed by Shadow Demon Abyss cultivators.

This Minor Thousand World is named Magical Stone Minor Realm.

This Minor Realm is renowned throughout the Horned Ming Realm, owned by the eternally renowned Flame Stone Great Emperor, it is one of his wealthiest Minor Thousand Worlds.

This world produces a large quantity of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures for Cultivation annually, especially every thousand years, a Fifth Order material known as Starry Magic Stone emerges, highly coveted by many.

However, the main residents of Magical Stone Minor Realm are not from the Horned Demon Imperial Clan.

The Horned Demon Emperor Clan, numbering just over a hundred million, rules over a vast Star Domain, with the vast majority of its members residing in the Horned Devil Realm.

The most numerous here are the different clans of Human and Demon Races, and positioned just below the Horned Demon Imperial Clan in the ’Slave Clan Ninth Class System’ of the Horned Ming Realm are the top-class, close servants of Flame Stone Great Emperor, the Rock Devil Clan.

The Rock Devil Clan always views themselves as the loyal servants of the Flame Stone Great Emperor, only loyal to the Great Emperor and his bloodline.

Although they are servants, in terms of status, they are regarded higher than many true Horned Demon Imperial Clan Cultivators.

Privately, many cultivators from the Horned Demon Imperial Clan would humbly bow when they meet a powerful member of the Rock Devil Clan.

The Rock Devil Clan treats the people of Horned Demon Imperial Clan in such a way, naturally, they need not mention how they treat the Human and Demon Races under their rule.

Many Demon Cultivators, compared to the people of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan, fear the Rock Devil Clan even more.

The center of Magical Stone Minor Realm is named Huo Shi Emperor City, which houses the palace of Flame Stone Great Emperor in this area, with the Rock Devil Clan residing around Huo Shi Emperor City, where all the strong individuals of the clan are gathered to serve the Emperor and his descendants.

With Huo Shi Emperor City as the center, various kinds of cities, mountains, and races are scattered in all directions, bizarre and numerous.

A hundred thousand miles east of Huo Shi Emperor City is a small city on a mountain, named Purple Stone City.

Jiang Ding is located in this region.

Here live Human Race, Fox Tribe, and various other Demon Races, no one cares about the names of these races; their sole purpose is to mine a material called ’Purple Stone Ore’ around Purple Stone City and to carve it.

Purple Stone Ore contains demonic intentions, occasionally causing Human and Demon Cultivators to fall dead.

These are insignificant.

The Magic Stone Clan Cultivators require that every year a sufficient amount of Purple Stone ore must be handed over. Any clan that fails to complete this will be slaughtered entirely, then new ones will be relocated from other places.

To protect themselves, the Human Race and other races gather together here, forming a force commonly called the Mountain Suppressing Sect, following an unknown tradition.

”Mountain Suppressing Sect is very weak...”

Jiang Ding extracts information from this body.

Here in Purple Stone City, dozens of races, sects, and family clans exist, with the Human Race sect being at the bottom. The strongest is a Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator named Firm Stone True Person.

Firm Stone True Person’s treatment is much better than ordinary Human Cultivators; at least he and his direct disciples and progeny have certain cultivation time, a group of wives and concubines, slaves, and do not have to mine every day.

Yes, even a sect leader must mine.

Because, in the eyes of the Magic Stone Clan and the true rulers, the Horned Demon Imperial Clan Cultivators, a mere Slave Clan Golden Immortal is just a slightly stronger miner. This is his destiny.

The strength of the Mountain Suppressing Sect is at the bottom.

In such a brutal society, this is a very terrifying thing.

The Mountain Suppressing Sect and the Human Race within thousands of miles not only have to complete mining and magical stone sculpting tasks set by the Magic Stone Clan themselves, but they are also forced to complete tasks from nearby powerful clans, otherwise, they face the terrifying consequence of Cultivators and even Golden Core progeny disappearing without a trace.

In recent years, the number of Human Cultivators and mortals in the Mountain Suppressing Sect has been falling continuously, and it is almost predictable that they are destined for extinction.

The Magic Stone Clan does not care about these; they only need results.

In the eyes of the Magic Stone Clan, Purple Stone City is just a wheat field growing ores, unless there is a large-scale disease, they would not bother with occasional minor damage to the seedlings.

Naturally, if such an incident really happens, the Magic Stone Clan would suppress it ruthlessly, slaughtering everyone, regardless of whether the clans are strong or weak.

Therefore, the actions of the surrounding powerful clans are also somewhat restrained, cautious, not entirely a situation of the strong eating the weak.

”It’s reasonable that the Mountain Suppressing Sect is so weak.”

Jiang Ding sighed.

The Human Race is a race highly dependent on civilization.

Without civilization, they are not much stronger than the lowest Demon Race; their bodies are fragile, Divine Sense talent is mediocre, they are merely walking ants.

What Elites, outstanding individuals, Daoist Bodies, without the civilization of the Immortal Path preserving them, they can’t display much, at most just a few times stronger than average people, like giant ants, useless.

From the specific to the general, the Human Race in this region, even in this world, if without a fortuitous coincidence to develop an Immortal Path civilization, their probability of extinction over time is very high.

After all, even to be slaves under the Horned Demon Emperor Clan one needs capabilities, they don’t just take anyone.

The Human Race faces competition, infighting, overt conflicts, and covert struggles from many slave clans. If they fall in this competition, they will be extinguished, and no race cares about what happens.

”These are not enough.”

”I need some higher-level intelligence.”

Jiang Ding murmurs, letting this Human Race slave named Pillar work on his own, sculpting the ore, all according to his remembered behavior.

This is a secret technique from the Shadow Devil Abyss.

The Shadow Devil Abyss indeed developed many excellent Immortal Path achievements in this regard. If not for special circumstances, they would not have possibly released them.

Of course, the Shadow Devil Abyss did not lose out.

The Xianmen Sect also had to open up and share many Immortal Path achievements. Shadow Devil Abyss cultivators benefited greatly, their Cultivation Base advanced, Treasures renewed, and their strength became much stronger than before the exchange with the Nine Immortal Sects.

Jiang Ding sits cross-legged within Pillar’s Divine Soul, operating Divine Sense Secret Technique, exploring towards the Outer Realm Starry Sky.

This Divine Sense Secret Technique is a Spirit Soul Void Realm Secret Technique jointly developed by the Nine Great Immortal Sects, used for secretive communication between Taoist disciples outside the realm, unfazed by Refining Nothingness prying.
