Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch struck with a move that simply killed, and the attack from Blood Stiff Heavenly Monarch, who hailed from the Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain of the Upper Realm True Sect, was easily broken. Whether it was curses or rotting palms infused with immense power, they were all instantly pierced and devoured by golden threads.

Shenxiao Heavenly Monarch and Blood Stiff Heavenly Monarch fell silent.

The two of them felt a bit parched and tongue-tied.

Despite their self-proclaimed status as elite cultivators of the Upper Realm True Sect and top Nascent Soul divinities of their sects, arriving in this Minor Thousand World seemed to have thrown everything into chaos. Every Nascent Soul Cultivator they randomly encountered possessed strength far surpassing their own, to the extent that if they encountered such individuals alone outside, death would be likely within a short time.

”…Fellow Daoist, may I have the honor of learning your name?”

Shenxiao Heavenly Monarch asked with a voice that was somewhat dry.

Still using the address ’Fellow Daoist,’ but now without the implied condescension, showing a much more sincere and heartfelt attitude.

”Supreme Honor, this lowly cultivator is called ’Shuoyang,’ unworthy of mention.”

Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch replied humbly.

”Shuoyang Fellow Daoist,”

”Could it be the Shuoyang… Heavenly Monarch mentioned by that voice?”

Shenxiao Heavenly Monarch was astonished and uncertain.

’Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch, that waste.’

These were the original words of the green-clothed youth, which he didn’t take to heart at the time, thinking the person was insignificant.

But now it appeared that the ability to stand face to face with a Four Realms Undying Sword Cultivator and even survive should not be underestimated.

Perhaps, these three had all failed in the battle for Domain Lord against the Four Realms Sword Cultivator.

Though they failed,

the mere ability to contest with a Four Realms Sword Cultivator, rather than instantly submitting, and even managing to escape, already made them surpass ninety-nine percent of other Nascent Soul Cultivators in the world.

”I am but a displaced dog, having lost my home.”

Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch said with a bitter smile, without any trace of pride.

He was once an invincible being of a realm, and upon ascending to the Divinity Transformation Stage, he became unbeatable, driving out or killing other Nascent Soul Cultivators within the realm, and then taking the realm as his home, his descendants spread across the world, with pride of his own.

He believed that his inferiority to the complete form of the Great Sun Swordsman was at least ninety percent due to inheritance, not lesser aptitude or talent.

This might be the truth.

”Fellow Daoist Shuoyang is truly remarkable…”

Shenxiao Heavenly Monarch sighed.

In terms of strength, the handsome cultivator before him undoubtedly surpassed himself, causing him to abandon his initial plan of using a slave-imprinting soul search, instead he tentatively said: ”Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to accept an offering Talisman from the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect?”

”In so doing, you could join our sect, become one of our own, ascend to the Upper Realm, encounter opportunities for Refining Nothingness, obtain the Void Refining Scripture, and much more, which are all within reach.”

He made promises of things that many a Nascent Soul Cultivator would envy.

This offering Talisman was also explained in the Divine Sense, the wording was somewhat indirect, but in fact, it was a higher form of a servant’s Talisman, much higher in status, but still controlled by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect—life and death was not in the hands of the Nascent Soul Cultivators themselves, which barely allowed them to interact equally with the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Jiuxiao Shenlei Sect.

Such matters concerning Immortal Technique could only ensure absolute confidentiality and the most accurate intelligence.

”Supreme Honor, I am not willing.”

Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch humbly declined, although his words were direct.

Even the promises of the opportunities like the Void Refining Scripture and ascending to the Upper Realm, which truly caught his attention, were the same.

Shenxiao Heavenly Monarch narrowed his eyes.

Blood Stiff Heavenly Monarch also stared at this extremely humble yet bold Lower Realm Practitioner.

In any other place, a Lower Realm Practitioner like this would have been killed for their impudence.

Yet here…

Both Upper Realm Heavenly Monarchs suspected that if they were not accompanied by their sect’s Taoist Soldiers, this humble yet handsome cultivator would have already revealed his ferocious face and turned to slaughter them instead.

”Shuoyang Fellow Daoist,”

”Could you reveal who the green-clothed youth is? Where does he hail from? I shall be most grateful.”

Shenxiao Heavenly Monarch smiled slightly, no longer mentioning the matter of the talisman.

”I respectfully comply with the Supreme Honor’s command.”

Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch replied respectfully: ”Supreme Honor, do not be deceived by that upstart from Tushan; that lad is not from any prestigious Upper Realm sect but a native practitioner born and bred in this realm. Born in a mortal kingdom in the Northern Plains called Yue Country, both his parents are mortals, without any notable background.”

”The reason why his strength is so formidable is entirely that he has encountered an astonishing opportunity and inherited Immortal Technique!”

This was the response they had agreed upon earlier.

Regardless of whether Jiang Dingzi had a background or lineage, he must not have one!

```

In fact, after the Sword Pavilion Legacy Messenger returned to his position, the technique to obscure cause and effect unfolded, and Tusen Heavenly Monarch, although a native-born Divinity Transformation Cultivator, was perceived as such even in the subconscious mind of Mingguang Zi.

In a sense, what Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch said was the truth.

”Is that person merely a native?”

Shenxiao Heavenly Monarch and Blood Stiff Heavenly Monarch were taken aback, somewhat incredulous.

This was beyond their common knowledge.

Cultivators of the lesser realms really didn’t have the soil to birth such elite cultivators, as all the necessary conditions were unmet.

But after hearing about the chance encounter with Immortal Technique, they hesitated.

Immortal Technique!

This is Immortal Technique after all!

Turning decay into something magical, what else could be strange?

”It’s undoubtedly a native!”

”This person and I were born in the same era, how could I not know?”

Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch stated with finality: ”The two of us had a chance encounter in a secret realm, but that Old Rogue of Mount Tu seized most of the Immortal Technique legacy, leaving us only scraps and crumbs, and in the end, we were expelled from the Minor Thousand World, with all family and kin tragically perishing.”

”I beseech Supreme Honor, to seek justice for us!”

This was undoubtedly an admission of possessing a part of the Immortal Technique legacy.

”Immortal Technique...”

Shenxiao Heavenly Monarch and Blood Stiff Heavenly Monarch unconsciously showed a look of greed.

All this seemed to provide many explanations for the emergence of powerful beings in this Minor Thousand World, where any Divinity Transformation Cultivator is so terrifying.

Immortal Technique Legacy!

”Supreme Honor!”

Sensing their greed, Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch respectfully said: ”I beseech Supreme Honor to bestow upon us the method of Ascension to the Upper Realm, and we are willing to offer the Immortal Technique legacy to Supreme Honor, even swearing eternal loyalty.”

”If we were to violate this oath, may we three brothers be destroyed by heaven and earth!”

He swore with a gesture to the heavens.

”Easy to say, easy to say.”

”After I finish the sect’s affairs, it’s just a matter of taking the three Fellow Daoists along the way.”

Shenxiao Heavenly Monarch said with a beaming smile: ”The only concern is that Tusen.”

”Can the three Fellow Daoists act as the vanguard, aiding me in killing the rogue? Afterward, I will surely plead on behalf of the three Fellow Daoists before the ancestors for rewards, by then the Void Refining Scripture and opportunities to Refine Nothingness will be trivial matters, as we are all Fellow Daoists of the same sect, without distinction.”

No response.

The three Heavenly Monarchs frowned.

Silence for a moment.

”Shenxiao, Blood Stiff.”

”You two foolish swine and dogs.”

Mingguang Zi spoke out, his voice cold: ”Stop showing off these childish tricks in front of me. Give me the method to Ascend to the Upper Realm, otherwise, forget it.”

”In the future, I will surely annihilate your entire sect, leaving no chicken or dog alive!”

”Will you give it, or not?”

After confirming the other side’s strength, he instantly tore away his respectful facade.

”You’re seeking death...”

Shenxiao Heavenly Monarch and Blood Stiff Heavenly Monarch were furiously enraged.

Clang!

A sonorous sound of sword ringing blossomed.

Shenxiao Heavenly Monarch and his companion’s expressions changed dramatically, and the scolding words they were about to say were abruptly halted.

Undying Sword Intent!

Undying Sword Intent again!

The Undying Sword Cultivators with Immortal Sword Intent, so rare in the Upper Realm for thousands of years, have appeared one after another today!

What has happened to this world?

Could it be that the Immortal Technique legacy is the Sword Immortal Technique?
