Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

With the words of the Yanliu Imperial Child, the ancient bamboo slips began to emit a glowing brilliance, with some of the seals unraveling.

Jiang Ding, with his Divine Sense sweeping over, discovered that the middle portion of the ”Dao Heart Infesting Demon Slave Scripture” was now comprehensible, proposing more concrete methods for the breakthrough of the Refining Nothingness method. It shared commonalities with certain research directions of the Xianmen Sect yet was greatly different.

It possessed extremely high research value!

Should this data be relayed back to the Xianmen Sect, it would undoubtedly propel the sect’s path of Refining Nothingness forward leaps and bounds, from nothing to something, marking the inception of a true breakthrough, definitively setting the course.

Jiang Ding was thrilled in his heart, which slowly settled back to calm.

”Not enough.”

”Imperial Child, this is not enough.”

Jiang Ding gazed at the Yanliu Imperial Child and solemnly said, ”The Chenshan King has been exceedingly disrespectful, taking decisions into his own hands multiple times, contrary to your intentions. I require his head.”

”Just as well, the Chenshan King has been missing the Shayi King too much, a reunion would be fitting.”

”Blood River King, you have such audacity...”

The Chenshan King seethed with internal fury.

Along with his anger, he subconsciously glanced at the Yanliu Imperial Child, fearfully surprised by his own trepidation, frightened that the other might hand him over.

Indeed, the past actions of this Imperial Child made him subconsciously distrustful.

If it were the Cangkong Imperial Child, he would not harbor such worries.

”Impossible!”

”There is no way!”

To his surprise, the Yanliu Imperial Child adamantly refused: ”The Chenshan King is my dear uncle, and even if he is at fault, the crime does not deserve death. Blood River King, restrain your anger, I will sternly chastise the Chenshan King to prevent future transgressions.”

He pacified a servant without a hint of the furious rage and killing intent that usually follows an affront to one’s dignity as a superior.

The Chenshan King’s heart greatly eased, somewhat moved.

”Oh?”

Jiang Ding also fixed his gaze upon the Yanliu Imperial Child.

In wartime, everyone is growing.

This Imperial Child was also rapidly growing, quickly shedding any pampered airs inappropriate for a time of cruel conflict, starting to deal with matters in a down-to-earth manner.

Such was the case with the handling of the Chenshan King incident.

To Jiang Ding, the Chenshan King deserved death.

But to the Yanliu Imperial Child, this was his fundamental base, his foundation, which under no circumstance could be shaken, requiring close unity.

This point, he had achieved.

Jiang Ding showed a contemplative expression, lost in thought over something, not replying to the words of the Yanliu Imperial Child.

This caused the Yanliu Imperial Child to misunderstand.

”Blood River King, do not trust any promise made by the Cangkong Imperial Child.”

”Cangkong is not the Cangyan Ancient Emperor’s Son after all.”

The Yanliu Imperial Child earnestly said: ”The Cangyan Ancient Emperor Family cannot be equated with the Cangkong Imperial Child, not even close; Cangkong faces severe internal constraints, the power behind him is not steadfast, not at all comparable to mine.”

”With me here, with my father here, you are surely without fail!”

”Not only now, but also in the days of the Great Emperor Realm to come, you and I must stand side by side in battle, free of worry, for the Great Emperor is not without rivals.”

”On the contrary, the Great Emperor faces many challenges and threats, as did my father, the Flame Stone Great Emperor, who could not prevent his imperial crown from being contested and could not oppose anything.”

”For thousands of years to come, tens of thousands of years, when all others have aged and perished, you and I will remain, united in trust, sharing in the riches of everlasting life.”

”If you are faithful to me, I will undoubtfully be loyal to you!”

The Yanliu Imperial Child’s sincerity reached an extreme.

”The latter part.”

Jiang Ding said indifferently, unfazed by the Yanliu Imperial Child’s long discourse and showing no sign of being moved, as he stated a new condition.

The Yanliu Imperial Child’s face was expressionless.

”Blood River King, since you desire it,”

He paused for a moment then revealed a smile: ”Naturally, it is yours for the taking. After all, we will fight side by side for tens of thousands of years to come; what is a mere Great Emperor Scripture then?”

With a flick of his finger, the final restriction in the ancient bamboo scroll was unlocked.

”Good.”

The Blood-robed Taoist across from him slightly nodded his head, not showing any etiquette of gratitude, and turned to disappear, concealing the transmissions here with his mana.

Emperor Yanliu sat on the throne, falling into deep thought.

After a long time.

”Seventh Uncle, do you think he will turn to serve Cangkong Imperial Child?”

Emperor Yanliu asked with some concern.

This was a tremendous hidden danger and was the reason why he had previously instructed Chenshan King to try to suppress and subdue this Slave King. There had always been worries in his heart.

If Cangkong Imperial Child were to gain such support, there would be no chance of victory in the battle.

”It shouldn’t be so.”

Chenshan King spoke without a second thought.

”Why?”

Emperor Yanliu was delighted.

”Because compared to Cangkong Imperial Child, you are weaker, and your family is weaker, yet you extend a helping hand amid snow.”

”If it were Cangkong Imperial Child, he is already on the brink of victory. Victory is already within his grasp. If not for Blood River King’s interruption, Cangkong Imperial Child would have already gained the crown.”

After the previous events, Chenshan King had become very direct in his speech.

This was a reflection of increased trust between ruler and subject.

”Being weaker in strength and having a weaker family background has become an advantage?”

Emperor Yanliu did not get angry, but sighed instead.

”Yes.”

”Such a prodigy of the Slave Clan, with such a proud heart, must certainly be unwilling to remain enslaved.”

Chenshan King sneered: ”Perhaps in his heart, your side may offer more opportunities to rid himself of the slave mark, to obtain freedom, and to ascend to the Great Emperor Realm.”

”Please pay attention to this.”

”Ha ha ha, indeed you make a good point.”

Emperor Yanliu laughed heartily, seemingly not worried about anything.

...

”So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is.”

”Above the Divinity Transformation, so this is how it is...”

In the desolate and silent Star Domain, a Blood-robed Taoist showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

The complete Great Emperor Scripture unfolded before his eyes, and the path to Void Refining was immediately made clear.

So-called Void Refining, as previously conjectured by the Xianmen Sect, is indeed about forming a micro-world within the body. This world, being the core of the cultivator’s mana and Divine Soul operations, has an independent ecosystem capable of circulation and can transform chaos into Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi.

By relying on this, the Void Refinement Realm is indeed the realm that truly possesses the ability to live independently of the Minor Thousand World.

One could say that the Void Refinement Realm is truly the life of a Domain.

Inside the micro-world of the Refining Nothingness Cultivator, a thing called the Seed of Rule will be born. This Seed of Rule contains Rule Power, and the Rule Power will vary depending on the type of micro-world.

This Rule Power will greatly enhance one aspect of the cultivator’s power, enough to suppress all cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm with just a thought.

The complete ”Dao Heart Seed Demon Slave Scripture” contains detailed methods for cultivating an internal micro-world and how to give birth to Rule Power.

What’s recorded here is not conjecture.

But a practical route truly needed by the Xianmen Sect!

Of course, this route is closely related to the ’Slave Seed’. Cultivators must turn themselves into the slaves of others to possibly advance. Otherwise, they are hopeless for life.

However, that doesn’t matter, as the Xianmen Sect is not a mere loose cultivator who has stumbled upon an adventure without any foundation.

The Xianmen Sect has enough Immortal Path background.

The Xianmen Sect fully possesses the capability to parse, assimilate, and absorb this Great Emperor Scripture, thus creating their own Void Refining Scripture within their civilization.

In other words,

unless something unexpected occurs, the Xianmen Sect is about to give birth to Refining Nothingness Cultivators!
