Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1262: Chapter 1230: Starry Sky Fortress City and a Million Silver White Skull Sword Soldiers

The Great Sun Heavenly Pond, just like the many years before, fell into a prolonged silence.

This silence was truly lengthy; enough for ordinary mortals of the Xianmen Sect to live out their lifetimes, enough for many changes to occur during domain wars, and enough for many scientific research projects within the Xianmen Sect to achieve breakthroughs.

Unknowingly, a hundred years passed.

…

This day, at the center of the Great Sun Heavenly Pool Sun Abyss, a Sun God Wood that towered a hundred thousand meters high and seemed to have walked out of primordial chaos stood between heaven and earth, surrounded by endless radiance and blistering Sword Qi. Every leaf harbored a nebulous Sword Qi World that bore semblance to fruits of a Sword Dao World.

It was lush and full of vitality, containing infinite promise.

Below the Sun God Wood, a green-clothed youth sat cross-legged amidst a world that was real and substantial, where all things grew, and tens of thousands of plants constituted an orderly Immortal Dao ecosystem. This was the driving force behind the approximately five-kilometer-sized world cycle, giving birth to the Six Paths Order.

The net of these Six Paths Order was intricate and stringent, almost comparable to a real world, far surpassing the state at the Nascent Soul Peak.

Moreover, under the voluminous interweaving and accumulation of these orders, some phenomena began to shake the cosmic rules, causing an involuntary distortion and change to the celestial laws, which no longer exhibited their transcendent nature.

“Order, it shakes the rules…”

Jiang Ding, sitting beneath the tree, slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, after a hundred years of healing, the injuries on his body were fully healed, and he returned to the most vibrant state, like a newborn Divine Beast, with cells harboring a lengthy lifespan of twenty thousand years.

“My twenty thousand years of life come from… the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao, the Sword Realm.”

Jiang Ding silently pondered: “The Fifth Realm of Sword Dao is highly compatible with the embryonic form of the Sword Realm Space, capable of propelling the operation of the Immortal Dao ecosystem within the embryonic form of the Sword Realm Space, birthing more Power of Order, maintaining a more efficient ‘Immortal Dao Perpetual Machine’ state, thus indirectly extending my lifespan.”

“My Divine Sense spans seven thousand kilometers.”

“My Power of the Six Paths Order has grown more than tenfold. Now, relying solely on the power of the Six Paths Order, I’m already capable of shaking the rules… This means that I might have a chance of escaping from the hands of an Early Stage Void Refining Practitioner, no longer completely defenseless against Refining Nothingness.”

“But…it’s still too weak.”

Jiang Ding sighed softly.

“Furthermore, the greatest gain from this advancement to Divinity Transformation is,”

Clang!

The hundred thousand-meter-tall primordial Sun God Wood behind him disintegrated into droplets of Spiritual Light.

Afterwards, a Bluegold sword body emerged between heaven and earth, radiating boundless sharpness and scorching aura, where the mere presence of its hefty sword body caused the cosmic rules within the Star River to collapse.

Taiqing Flying Sword!

The Taiqing Flying Sword emitted the faint aura of a Refining Void Stage Space Treasure!

“Unfortunately, it’s only faint…”

Jiang Ding lightly stroked the body of the Taiqing Flying Sword, eliciting deep sword hums: “There’s just one last gap. It could be chance, luck, or perhaps some material that’s necessary for a true breakthrough, for the Power of the Six Paths Order to couple within the Taiqing Flying Sword, forming a Rule Prohibition…”

Rule Prohibition.

This is what distinguishes a Refining Void Space Treasure from a Primordial Spirit Treasure, possessing even a single Rule Prohibition allows a cultivator to indirectly control a type of Rule Power, granting tremendous lethal power.

The gap between a Space Treasure and a Primordial Spirit Treasure is equivalent to the fearful disparity between a Refining Nothingness Cultivator and a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Therefore, one can imagine the difficulty of such a breakthrough.

Even the strongest Dari Swordsman in the history of the Nine Spirits Realm, potentially the strongest Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, could not surpass this hurdle in a single step.

“Chance? Luck?”

“How shameful. There will come a day when I too will require luck to break through…”

Jiang Ding exhaled lightly.

Though, this luck, this chance seems to be appearing soon, and it’s not such a difficult thing.

But, luck is simply luck.

Jiang Ding understood that he had reached the exploratory frontier of the Immortal Tao Civilization of the Nine Spirits Realm.

The Through the Heavens Grand Path formed by countless predecessors of the Immortal Path in the past now began to show imperfections and was no longer perfect at every step.

The closer one gets to the Harmonization, the more imperfections there will be, until after Harmonization, there is no path, and one must pioneer their own, becoming the predecessor for future generations.

Jiang Ding stood up, seemingly intending to leave.

“Commander!”

“What about me? What about me?!!”

Seeing this, the Super Warship Great Sun Air-Space Mothership instantly panicked, as a ship-girl dressed in uniform flew out from the mothership, extending a pale arm, blocking his way.

“Taiqing has made a breakthrough, and so have you, Commander. Have you forgotten something?”

Yun Ri said anxiously.

“I haven’t forgotten.”

Jiang Ding rolled his eyes: “But right now, there’s no way. The Xianmen Sect’s mass production of planet-level warships has only just begun with the first experimental ship, which has countless defects. It will take several hundred years before the first standard planet-level warship appears. Only then will the development work for the Super Star Sky Orbiting Fortress of the Super Warship Great Sun begin.”

“Don’t worry, Yuan has promised me.”

“Yun Ri, if all goes well, you too will be promoted to a Super Star Sky Orbit Fortress, it’s not too far in the future.”

“Really?”

Yun Ri was skeptical.

“Really!”

Jiang Ding affirmed with confidence.

Moreover, in the envisioned plan, the Super Starry Sky Fortress would be a star sky city, equipped with a star sky orbiting cannon, carrying a million Silver White Skull Sword Soldiers, hundreds of thousands of various unmanned air-space motherships and unmanned air-space warships, forming a corps-level robot sword soldier unit.

The technology for the million Silver White Skull Sword Soldiers came from the Skull Blood Vine Demon Clan, known for being indestructible. No matter how many times they die, they would regenerate endlessly in the next moment, hailed as the strongest machine infantry, a mobile steel legion, theoretically capable of encircling and killing those at the Refining Nothingness stage.

Of course, this conception is still very distant.

It requires a large group of Xianmen Sect elites to be freed up, plus a tenfold expansion of the Xianmen Sect research team, a vast Domain space as a testing ground, the material support of more than a hundred Minor Thousand Worlds, only then can it be achieved within a certain time frame. It is a strategic-level Immortal Tao industrial project.

“Star sky city…”

Yun Ri had stars twinkling in her eyes.

“Look forward to it, the future is bright.”

Jiang Ding consoled.

He connected his Divine Sense to the Xianmen Sect network, briefly reviewed some of the developments in Xianmen Sect technology over the years, as well as the changes in the status of war. Currently, things haven’t changed much; the situation in the Horned Ming Realm is still at a stalemate.

In the timescale of a hundred years, for a war at the Harmonization stage, it’s not very long.

“Body recovered, strength restored, danger averted, then it’s time…”

“To make a trip to the Northern Plains.”

Jiang Ding murmured to himself.

That was his world, where many old friends from his memories remained, as well as the Refining Nothingness materials he accumulated for twelve hundred years.

He wondered, was everything still well?

His figure gradually disappeared from view.
