Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1260: Chapter 1228: The Key to Chasing the Heavenly Sword Sword Son Lies in the Xianmen Sect

Jiang Ding’s confusion was evident, and he, who was always relaxed in the Xianmen Sect, did not care much about concealing his emotions.

“Senior, how does one catch up to someone whose strength, background, Flying Sword, and potential are all far superior to one’s own?”

He asked the seniors around him.

These seniors were his teachers; there was no need to hide anything, and he could just ask directly.

“Chasing after an elite far stronger than oneself?”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch was taken aback.

He thought of that figure in the Heavenly Tribulation.

That figure, only at the Early Stage of God Transformation, had easily beaten the Dari Swordsman till he vomited blood; if that figure was a real person, they must belong to an extremely formidable force, holding Immortal Tao achievements far beyond the current exploratory limits of the Sect.

He fell into thought and did not respond for a long time.

Jiang Ding waited patiently.

High-Level Cultivators think for a long time, similar to a supercomputer, considering enormous variables such as political situation changes, Spiritual Energy tidal changes, military developments, and internal political strife before making significant decisions.

The more they know, the more they are aware of, the more they revere the unknown.

Therefore, the thinking speed of High-Level Cultivators on major issues is not faster than that of ordinary people because ordinary people ignore complex variables that should be considered. Their Divine Soul Computational Power is too weak to include many variables in the calculation.

Several months later.

“This question of yours reminds me of the time when the Xianmen Sect was rising.”

“Do you know what it was like back then?”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch’s gaze was as deep as the stars.

“According to historical records,”

Jiang Ding recalled: “At that time, the original material civilization of the Xianmen Sect was interrupted by the Xueyun Sect, a subordinate sect of the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace. Governments and organizational entities of all countries on the planet were annihilated by the Xueyun Sect, and all citizens of the Mother Star became slaves and furnace cauldrons of the Xueyun Sect, unable to resist.”

“Back then, the material civilization of the Xianmen Sect was still weak, potent only enough to threaten Nascent Soul Monks, anything higher was insufficient.”

“After suffering for thousands of years, the first generation of Xianmen rulers emerged. He used his Divine Soul and a treasure obtained in a fortuitous encounter as raw materials to develop the first generation of the Central Array Spirit Computer.

The moment the Central Array Spirit Computer emerged, Yuan died. Subsequent talents of the Xianmen Sect continued to evolve this basis, eventually leading to the current Central Array Spirit Computer of the Xianmen Sect, which suppresses the Star River Domain…”

“…Are you saying that this is the path for the Xianmen Sect to catch up with a civilization far beyond its own?”

Jiang Ding seemed enlightened.

“Yes.”

“You asked how to catch up with a celestial elite far beyond one’s own civilization; that immediately made me think of the history of the Xianmen Sect.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch sank into memories.

The Xianmen Sect is only over ten thousand years old; much of its history is actually his personal experience, not as insubstantial as the history seen by later generations in books.

“Starting with Yuan, wasn’t the Xianmen Sect at the time a civilization on the Immortal Tao far beyond its own, compared to the Divinity Transformation Sect, the Xueyun Sect?”

“You say you are confused; the citizens of Lanying Planet were equally confused at that time.”

“I heard from my teacher, the sixth-generation ruler of the Xianmen Sect, Wu, that at that time, before the first generation ruler Yuan appeared, nearly everyone, including him, completely denied all the spiritual and material achievements of the Mother Star.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch showed a look of admiration.

“All citizens of the Mother Star considered their own civilization inferior, a lower class, the so-called citizen political system was wrong, mere human delusions. From our morals to our blood vessels, everything was filthy, inherently meant for slavery.”

“This was the deep-rooted thought of many citizens at the time.”

“In contrast, the Xueyun Sect, where Cultivators were superior, humans were as insignificant as ants, and it was glorious and right to kill billions for refining treasures. This was the style of an Immortal Family, and the correct path of Immortal Tao was the path of the Xueyun Sect.”

“Everything on Lanying Planet was an obstacle to the path of Immortal Tao, foolish and ridiculous.”

“At that time, nearly all citizens were like this, including Yuan’s younger brother, an exceptionally talented Immortal Sect citizen. He amassed a vast amount of resources through the sufferings of countless Immortal Sect citizens, who served as furnace cauldrons, concubines, and slaves, on whom many citizens pinned their hopes.”

“However, when he reached the bottleneck of Golden Pill Peak and could not progress further, he began to blame and resent his origin as a citizen. He believed that his background dragged him down, and that the backward and foolish customs and ideas of his people bred his inner demons and halted his cultivation progress.”

“Therefore, he eventually chose to betray both the citizens and the Central Array Spirit Computer, directly leading to the deaths of the second and third-generation leaders, barely preserving the future spark by sheer fortune.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch’s voice was very calm, showing no great resentment.

“You ask me how to catch up and surpass our civilization?”

“I think, by following the path of the Immortal Sect’s sages, gradually advancing the growth of Immortal Sect civilization, towards Harmonization, beyond Harmonization, and even higher realms, step by step, mutually accomplishing with the Immortal Sect.”

“As for that stronger elite, my advice is, do not hurry for the moment; leave it for the future.”

“Do not hurry for the moment, leave it for the future?”

Jiang Ding quietly mutters this phrase.

The fate of the citizen who betrayed was not asked by him.

Immortal Sect has become the Domain Overlord, annihilated the Xueyun Sect, and this is the answer, nothing more.

The Immortal Sect’s quick rise from being a subordinate sect under the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace to becoming a Domain Overlord, and now nearly a Harmonization Level force about to surpass the historical peak strength of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, undoubtedly proves the limitless potential of the Immortal Sect, and the future is in me.

Do not hurry for the moment, leave it for the future.

In the future, after absorbing countless intellectual achievements and commanding heroes from numerous domains, the Immortal Sect will surely rise again, and by then, even Near Immortal Level forces should have nothing to fear.”

“I understand.”

Jiang Ding takes a deep breath.

In the short term, lying low and biding time are still essential; patiently awaiting the growth of the Immortal Sect, with citizens as the main body and outer realm elites as a supplement, neither of which can be neglected.

This, is the Great Path.

Patience, patience, until becoming an Immortal.

“Is your Great Sun Divinity Transformation Strategy decided then? The one from years ago?”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch changes the subject and asks.

“Yes, that’s the one, no changes.”

Jiang Ding nods.

The Great Sun Divinity Transformation Strategy is the national policy of the Immortal Sect supporting newborn Divinity Transformation Monks, but its impact largely depends on the policy’s sustainability and the monks themselves.

In recent times, the most famous being the Far Divinity Strategy alliance with Five Elements Heavenly Sect, Canghai Heavenly Monarch making use of the Eight Great Immortal Sects’ internal strife and boldly campaigning to conquer over a dozen Minor Thousand Worlds, Xu Yan’s family-based industrial chain Divinity Strategy… All are indeed so.

After these famous Divinity Strategies, it should also be noted that many Divinity Strategies are unknown, only developing some industries, some research projects, helping specific Divinity Transformation Monks to grow, and not causing much impact.

This is where the policy sustainability of the Divinity Strategy varies, whether it can gain the broadest support of the citizens, and whether it involves steady and vast investment of human and material resources.

Jiang Ding’s Divinity Transformation Strategy, after a thousand years of fermentation and dissemination, has basically become common knowledge among all citizens, which is a significant advantage, and to change it hastily would undoubtedly mean abandoning this advantage.

“But to implement it now…”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch asks.

Currently, in a wartime state, many government affairs are suspended, but if the Great Sun Swordsman personally pushes forward, it might not be impossible to change.

“No need.”

“Only when the Domain War is victorious, and Immortal Sect’s living space massively expanded, resources extremely abundant and impossible to fully utilize, and Immortal Sect’s manpower insufficient to govern such a vast Domain, then, it will be the right time to launch the Great Sun Divinity Transformation Strategy.”

Jiang Ding declines.

This concerns his major undertaking of catching up to the Heavenly Sword Swordsman and becoming an Immortal; not to be rushed into hastily.
