Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

The Great Sun Heavenly Pool Moon Spirit, with glowing pride, narrated how he had betrayed the Dari Swordsman, even waiting expectantly for praise.

”Slut!”

”You damnable slut!”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch was furious: ”I knew long ago you were up to no good. Thousands of years ago it was the same, and now even more blatantly obvious.”

”I’ll kill you sooner or later!”

Thousands of years ago, Zhong Guangzi was besieged by the nine Great Daoists of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, and the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch, who was then the Immortal Mieri, also participated in this siege. He was lucky to survive the defeat.

The grievances between them were extremely deep.

”You little rat, Sun Extinguisher, stop talking big.”

”You know nothing.”

The Great Sun Heavenly Pool Moon Spirit disdainfully said: ”Battles and slaughters, especially the life-and-death fights with the powerful, are supremely precious sustenance for Swordsmen.”

”One could say that even the Heaven and Earth Spirit Pills, against-the-destiny opportunities, Void Treasures, or even Dao Merging Treasures are nothing but dung compared to a bloody battle with a powerful opponent.”

”If the Great Sun Sword Pavilion still existed, and such an opportunity arose, a million swordsman cultivators would fight like mad for it... and even then, they wouldn’t be able to get it, they don’t qualify to possess it.”

”For a swordsman cultivator, ascending to immortality, lies in one life-and-death battle with the powerful after another!”

When she spoke, one argument followed another, manifesting the demeanor of a grandmaster of the Sword Dao, a convincing and admirable aura naturally emerged.

Indeed, this was the truth.

The Great Sun Heavenly Pond Moon Spirit is a creature between the living and non-living, created by successive generations of Great Sun Sword Masters, having endured a lengthy era, the Last Great Sun Sword Master Xi Yuan, Zhong Guangzi, and even much earlier Sword Masters had grown up with her companionship, leading to an incredibly high seniority.

When the Great Sun Heavenly Pond Moon Spirit met a great power of Xuanwu Heavenly Palace, she would directly call him ’little bastard’.

Generally, the great powers of Xuanwu Heavenly Palace wouldn’t mind.

Because in the past years, when he was still a daoist, the Great Sun Heavenly Pond Moon Spirit used to address him this way, and he had gotten used to it.

The Great Sun Heavenly Pond Moon Spirit clarified a point.

For magic cultivators, the life-and-death battles with the powerful is something to be strenuously avoided as it signifies danger. Whoever forces a magic cultivator into such a battle creates a blood feud with them, irreconcilable and deadly.

For a sword cultivator,

A life-and-death battle with a formidable opponent is an incredible opportunity!

For an orthodox swordsman cultivator, like Mingguang Zi, Zhong Guangzi, Xi Yuan, whoever stops them from entering a battle to the death with an enemy, they would kill.

Whether you are a friend or foe, out of concern or other motives, they would strike you down instantly.

Because this is blocking their path!

”This…”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch was at a loss for words.

His expertise was not in the sword dao, to the extent of being absolutely clueless, but he was immediately infuriated by the nickname ’little rat’ again: ”Slut! No matter how sound your reasoning is, it doesn’t cover up the fact that you almost killed Jiang Ding! I see you have been holding onto a grudge for a long time, harboring evil intentions!”

”I always said that everything related to the Great Sun Sword Pavilion must be destroyed, including this Moon Spirit, to avoid future troubles.”

”Short-sighted as a rat!”

”How can sparrows understand the ambition of a swan.”

Great Sun Heavenly Pond rolled her eyes: ”I can’t make it clear to a weakling like you. As long as the swordsman exists, the Great Sun Sword Pavilion exists. You understand nothing, I am too lazy to talk to you.”

”As for the near death, just let it be death.”

”Zhong Guangzi, Xi Yuan, Guang Mei... Oh, Guang Mei is Xi Yuan’s predecessor, the previous generation’s Great Sun Sword Master, a bit weaker than Xi Yuan. He was killed by the great powers of the Eight Great Immortal Sects, but he also slayed four of them and severely injured four others, preserving the Sword Pavilion.”

”Let’s continue,”

”Xi Yuan and the others, they died in a sword fight.”

”Dying in a sword fight is a common occurrence for Dari Swordsman, what’s the big deal?”

Yueling appeared indifferent.

”...”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch was left speechless.

Throughout history, very few of the past Great Sun Sword Masters died of old age; they were constantly attacking the Eight Great Immortal Sects, over and over, causing even the Great Experts of Magic Cultivation among the Sects seldom to die natural deaths.

Unbelievable!

These Great Experts from the Eight Great Immortal Sects of this generation are considered exceptionally long-lived among their predecessors. After the fanatical sect of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion was annihilated, they lived peacefully into their old age.

”Great Sun Sword Pavilion...”

The surrounding Celestial Lords of Immortal Gate watched, shivering in the cold.

Such an extreme Jiandao School was truly terrifying. It wasn’t enough that they disregarded the lives of others, but they didn’t even care about their own, seeking death daily like madmen.

People had completely forgotten that other Immortal Sects often cursed them in the same way.

”Sun Extinguisher you little rat, I can’t be bothered to talk to you.”

”Swordsman, can you praise me?”

Yueling ignored the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch, turned around to Jiang Ding, and asked expectantly.

”No.”

Jiang Ding coldly refused.

”Oh...”

Heavenly Pond Moon Spirit was greatly disappointed, but soon recovered her optimism, explaining the flaws in the Undying Sword Technique during the previous fight, simply pointing out the issues without providing solutions.

The answer needs to be found by the Dari Swordsman himself.

Among all generations, the Dari Swordsmen were the most perceptive beings in their realm. The insights they realized on their own were the ones most suited to them; others’ solutions were mere references.

Jiang Ding closed his eyes.

In his heart, there was an unprecedented calm. The various irritations, killing intents, and desires of the past had vanished, utterly serene, as if he had become a sage.

Inside his Sea of Consciousness, countless undying Sword Intents seemed to be boiling, twisting around, about to give birth to something. It seemed to be a vague yet infinitely vivacious entity, faintly revealing a shadow.

That was a blurred Sword Dao World.

With one strike, the Sword-light never extinguishes, one begets two, two beget three, three begets all things, forming a Sword Dao World that would never cease unless it annihilated its foes.

This is precisely the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao, the Sword Realm!

Of course, it is evident that Jiang Ding’s many insights are not systemized as there’s no complete inheritance of the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao. It’s akin to forging his own path, progressing arduously, without having successfully broken through yet.

Moreover, without cultivating the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao to a profoundly subtle level, reaching the state where immense strength becomes effortless and the edge is contained within, with his current power and foundation, he couldn’t perform a strike of the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao.

If he forced it, before delivering such a strike, his body and Divine Soul would burst into a mist of blood.

The Sword Realm’s sword is excessively sharp, excessively fearsome.

This isn’t something a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator can grasp, not even the Dari Swordsman. The foundation is insufficient.

Only a foundation like that of true dragons and phoenixes could possibly attempt it.

In the Starry Sky, peace temporarily resumed.

The beings of the Flame Stone Star Domain were the same as before, unchanged, and from an outsider’s perspective, everything here remained the same; family and friends from the Imperial Clan checked in as usual.

Flame Stone Great Emperor was also the same.

Soon after, he sent several letters with sincere apologies to Ancient Emperor Cangyan and a few old friends explaining his sudden departure due to his son’s misbehavior causing some trouble, asking them for their understanding and declaring to make it up during their next gathering.

These brief years passed swiftly.
