Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Northern Plains, Liudao Sect.

Inside the Dark Demon Palace.

A one-armed green-clothed youth sat on the Six Dao Throne, hand on the hilt of his sword, with the phantom shadows of Six Dao Reincarnation looming behind him, casting light upon his serene face, his thoughts unknown.

The grand hall was quiet as a tomb.

Immortal Qingyun, Da’ai Immortal, Blood Cloud Immortal, Scorching Sun Immortal, Mu Tiansnow, and more than six hundred other individuals, all formidable Nascent Soul Immortals, now respectfully performed their salutations, not daring to let their gazes even slightly touch the throne, as if facing a Heavenly God.

Just recently!

An Ascender emerged in this realm!

Ascend to the Upper Realm!

This is the ultimate dream and desire of many generations of Cultivators, now truly witnessed before their eyes!

How could this not excite these Nascent Soul Immortals immensely?

Theirs Divine Souls were greatly unsettled, showing no signs of calming down anytime soon.

Who were these three Ascenders?

The invincible being of this realm from about ten thousand years ago, creator of the Northern Plains Families, Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch!

The Divine Path Sword Monarch from the East Sea!

And another Heavenly Monarch, unknown but definitely a significant figure.

These Heavenly Monarchs, all originated from this realm, grew up in this realm, left various past deeds in history, once dominated the world of affairs. Among those present were the descendants of these ascending Heavenly Monarchs, not mere illusive figures.

Such genuine figures ascending to the Upper Realm, how could it not excite people?

If these seniors could do it,

Then naturally, so can we!

Many Nascent Soul Immortals genuinely saw hope.

However, facing such mighty and terrible ascending Heavenly Monarchs, what was their situation in front of Tusen Heavenly Monarch, this youthful-looking one-armed young man?

They fled at the very sight of him!

So-called Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch, the so-called East Sea Sword Monarch, and that unknown Heavenly Monarch, none dared to directly confront Tusen Heavenly Monarch, only able to flee afar, not even daring to return to their birth Mother Realm to see their own descendants.

These were ascending Heavenly Monarchs!

Many Nascent Soul Immortals felt their Divine Souls assaulted, uncertain what kind of existence the sovereign of Tushan Central Court was, as even the ascending Heavenly Monarchs saw him as insignificant and dared not face him directly.

Thus, the Nascent Soul Immortals stood solemnly.

No one knew how long passed.

”My Lord,”

Gong Caiyu took a step forward, hesitating momentarily before speaking: ”When will you ascend to the Upper Realm?”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Nascent Soul Immortals were profoundly shaken.

Indeed.

If the ascending Heavenly Monarchs were merely defeated under Tusen Heavenly Monarch’s hand, and they could ascend, why couldn’t Tusen Heavenly Monarch?

He surely had the capability!

Some Nascent Soul Immortals felt immense joy, as if a great mountain was lifted from their heads, they were about to possess the entire world, during the time no new Heavenly Monarch was born, undeniably they were the sovereigns of the world;

Some Nascent Soul Immortals were utterly panicked, without Tusen Heavenly Monarch they would undoubtedly be trampled and ruled by those Peak Nascent Soul Cultivators, who were not as tolerant as Tusen Heavenly Monarch;

Some Nascent Soul Immortals felt reluctance and nostalgia, as if losing a father and not knowing what to do.

Some Nascent Soul Immortals...

Thus variously, a thousand people with a thousand expressions, each with their differences.

No matter what kind of thoughts they harbored, everyone knew they could only accept the final outcome, and couldn’t interfere with the will of the Heavenly Monarch in the slightest.

”Ascend?”

Jiang Ding gradually awoke from his deep contemplation.

There was much he had to consider at the moment, concerning both Northern Plains and Xianmen Sect, involving timelines spanning a millennium, with his Divine Soul Computational Power devoted to these matters.

At this moment, hearing Gong Caiyu’s question, his mind briefly stirred.

”Ascension, might still take some time.”

”I still have some matters to attend to.”

Jiang Ding’s gaze rested on the more than six hundred Nascent Soul Immortals present, easily discerning their thoughts. Many were loyal, many harbored ambitions, many had various thoughts... This was all unimportant.

Loyalty, even across the passage of long years, was also unimportant.

Without the suppression by martial force, it was time to let go, this was his realization, not to rely on the loyalty of some to continue ruling.

”This period of time might outlast all of your lifetimes.”

Jiang Ding looked at them, his expression almost smiling.

”The Heavenly Monarch is wise!”

At this moment, the hearts of many Immortals of Nascent Soul relaxed, revealing expressions of joy.

This joy stemmed from deep within their hearts, even for those ambitious Immortals of Nascent Soul.

The Tushan Heavenly Monarch, is far too generous!

He does not restrict any subordinate’s promotion whatsoever; as long as you have battle merits or governmental achievements, he even provides all sorts of conveniences.

In this world, it’s almost impossible to find a more favorable environment for cultivation.

Considering the attitude of the beings from the Upper Realm, even ascending does not mean entering an immortal paradise where one can peacefully enjoy cultivation forever.

”I need to enter seclusion for a period.”

”It may last for thousands of years.”

Jiang Ding spoke slowly.

This statement, like thunder, shocked many Immortals to an extreme degree.

Thousands of years!

To them, this was no different from ascending to the Upper Realm; it would span several lifetimes, their bones turning to ash.

”After I enter seclusion,”

”Tushan Central Court must remain as it is.”

Jiang Ding ignored these reactions, and said indifferently: ”During this period, if any of you, fellow Daoists, advance to Divinity Transformation, you will need to act under the order of Tushan.”

”Of course, if the newly risen Divinity Transformation Cultivator does not acknowledge this, that is also fine.”

In that instant, many Immortals felt panic.

But they also did not know if they were even qualified to feel this panic, as achieving Divinity Transformation seemed to them like a moon reflected in water or a flower in a mirror.

”Mu Tiansnow.”

Jiang Ding casually pointed at a person: ”If any Divinity Transformation Heavenly Monarch defies the Tushan Law, you are responsible for dealing with them, to slay them.”

”If you defy it, you know the consequences.”

Nobody had first pinpointed Mu Tiansnow.

This caused many to stir, looking towards that woman with snow-white skin, black hair and black eyes, expressing extreme envy.

This meant, the Heavenly Monarch considers, that among the many Immortals of Nascent Soul present, Ice Snow Immortal is the most likely to advance to Divinity Transformation.

”Yes, Heavenly Monarch!”

Mu Tiansnow’s heart chilled.

Jiang Ding nodded slightly, sweeping his gaze across the many Immortals of Nascent Soul present, eventually landing on Han Lin: ”Fellow Daoist, if you have spare capacity, feel free to assist.”

At this moment, the entire hall was shocked.

Many Immortals were stunned, even doubting if the Heavenly Monarch had made a mistake, how could a merely ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator rank just after Mu Tiansnow?

”Little Martial Uncle, please rest assured!”

Perhaps knowing that this parting might be very lengthy, Han Lin no longer concealed anything, nor feared the flickering gazes of some Immortals around him, speaking solemnly: ”If I have spare capacity, I will definitely uphold the normal operation of Tushan Central Court’s order, ensuring that Your Laws continue to be implemented.”

Even now, he has not fully promised, only mentioned if he has spare capacity.

Da’ai’s gaze was somewhat complex.

The Great Sun Sword Master trusts Immortal Qingyun even more and doesn’t trust him at all, not even a little, these two people’s arrangements contained many reasons to guard against him.

”That will do.”

”Thus, it is sufficient.”

Jiang Ding nodded slightly: ”If Tushan Central Court encounters a calamity too terrifying, then abandon it, prioritize your own Dao path.”

He looked around, not appointing anyone else.

Perhaps there are those with better talent, perhaps many also have the chance to advance to Divinity Transformation, but the level of trust is still lacking, there’s no need to nag.

”Gong Caiyu,”

”I hope you can survive, and that we can meet again in the future.”

Jiang Ding looked at the last woman, his eyes revealing a trace of warmth: ”Among them, one is coerced by me, another has good personal morality and integrity, though they can maintain the stability of Tushan Central Court, they do not acknowledge the importance of Tushan Law.”

”You are different, if you are there, Tushan Law will be better implemented, and even capable of evolving with the changes in social environment, it won’t become outdated and rigid.”

This Immortal, he had high hopes for.

”My lord...”

”Rest assured!”

Gong Caiyu’s face flushed red, determinedly said: ”I will definitely advance to Divinity Transformation!”

”Definitely!”

”Hmm, definitely.”

Jiang Ding smiled faintly.
