Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1263: Chapter 1231: New Discipline of Xianmen Sect: Folklore and Mythology Studies

Northern Plains.

Tushan Central Court, Dark Demon Palace.

A green-clothed youth seated upon the Six Dao Throne opened his eyes.

His gaze was clear-cut in black and white, deep as the night sky but without the fullness of vicissitudes, still harboring a naive curiosity towards the Immortal Path.

“Not bad.”

“At least my broken house didn’t collapse, so I don’t have to start by surviving in the wilderness.”

Jiang Ding slowly rose from the Six Dao Throne and sighed softly, “It’s just that I don’t know how many familiar people are left in this world, how many familiar faces I can still see at a glance.”

He didn’t do anything but turned around to gaze at the six unstable whirlpools atop the Six Dao Throne.

This Six Dao Throne, left by the Ancestor Master of the Liudao Sect, the Six Paths Celestial Monarch, contains six whirlpools representing six inheritances: Tianrendao, Asura Path, Human Dao, Beast Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, and Hell Dao. They are among the strongest native inheritances of the Northern Plains, giving rise to numerous formidable powers in the Northern Plains.

After Jiang Ding acquired the Dark Demon Palace, this Six Dao Throne also fell into his hands.

However, he merely skimmed through it to broaden his horizons and passed it by, as he was not very interested. The Liudao Sect Ancestor Master’s inheritance was considered superficial in the exploration of the Immortal Path by him at the time and deemed ‘too arrogant to be called the Six Paths’, so he renamed the Six Dao Reincarnation Palace to the Dark Demon Palace.

Now, after Jiang Ding’s ascension to the Divinity Transformation Stage, looking back— it’s still the same, with no hidden adventures.

Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he hasn’t encountered any fortuitous adventures; he’s instinctively avoided such opportunities and risks and chose not to explore them.

All were carefully assessed before he actively retrieved items he had lost.

The Liudao Sect’s inheritance is indeed shallow.

Now, the inheritances he creates casually far surpass those of the Liudao Sect, and he can easily establish a power far exceeding that of the Liudao Sect.

However…

“Six Paths… Six Dao Reincarnation…”

“Did I overlook something important in the past, missing the key point?”

Jiang Ding murmured to himself, “The Six Dao Reincarnation might not just be a myth or legend added by later generations to enhance the mystique and intimidation of their own sect’s inheritance, but could be a widely disseminated… magic structure?”

“In the distant past, perhaps there was an earth-shattering Great Divine Power who discovered the structure of the Six Dao Reincarnation, and used it to achieve great deeds. As a result, this Immortal Dao Technology spread rapidly, permeating the various inheritances of the Human Race.

Because it is simply effective, the same Spiritual Energy used within this structure emerges stronger.”

“Now, I have a similar feeling…”

Many Cultivation Methods and magic related to Six Dao Reincarnation rapidly emerged in Jiang Ding’s mind, involving 277,000 volumes of Cultivation Methods scriptures, with varying degrees of relevance.

This is the reserve of Immortal Dao knowledge of a cultivator who has continuously read literature for over a thousand years!

“Six Paths?”

Jiang Ding raised his hand as a wisp of Sword Qi appeared at his fingertips.

Orders of Destruction, Forbidden Law, Law-Breaking, Mutant, Primordial Magnet, and Sword Dao circulated within this wisp of Sword Qi, cycling between existence and non-existence.

Even though the total amount of Spiritual Energy contained within this wisp of Sword Qi is so weak, not even amounting to the total amount of a Golden Pill Monk’s Spiritual Energy, it can still easily penetrate and kill a Divine Transformation Stage Cultivator.

“Six Paths!”

Jiang Ding evidently confirmed something.

“Sword Dao, reigning as the Sovereign high above the Nine Heavens, overseeing all things, this could perhaps represent the Tianrendao!”

“Destruction Order, a madness that destroys everything, even to the point of self-destruction, madness akin to that of the Hungry Ghost Path;”

“Forbidden Law Order, like a cage, it restrains all sentient beings, preventing transcendence, with a clear hierarchy; it could be likened to the Hell Path;”

“Primordial Magnet Order, crucial for human civilization’s entry into the electric era; it potentially corresponds to the Human Dao;”

“Mutant Order, the genetic mutations of living beings, a type of radiation from the Great Sun’s brilliance, the world’s biodiversity of species—flying, terrestrial, aquatic, insects, animals, plants—its colorful variety is inseparable from the Mutant Order; it may align with the Beast Dao;”

“Destruction Order, warfare and slaughter, breaking laws and enemies with unparalleled sharpness and invincibility, bear similarities to the Asura Path… is this too far-fetched?”

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

However, that is not important.

The key is not whether it fits the myth, but whether the magic structure of the Six Dao Reincarnation can be applied and reorganized in such a way; if done appropriately, it might lead to a breakthrough.

The strand of Sword Qi between Jiang Ding’s fingers suddenly transformed, with the Six Paths Order within it constantly changing—sometimes deep blue, sometimes shimmering with gold light, sometimes hazy… the changes were extremely intense.

A moment later, a bright point of light emerged.

The point of light trembled continuously, the space expanded, and a terrible explosion that could easily destroy a city was about to happen.

Bang!

The anticipated explosion that would have destroyed the entire Dark Demon Palace did not occur, extinguished between two fingers.

“Not quite right.”

“The Six Paths Order conflicts too severely during the reconstruction of the Six Dao Reincarnation, collapsing halfway through; as a result, the Sword Qi’s power is greatly reduced, self-consuming—roughly the strike of a Nascent Soul Monk.”

Jiang Ding’s eyes shone brightly.

However, through this experiment, he confirmed the enormous potential of the Six Dao Reincarnation magic structure—it’s incredibly inclusive of all things between heaven and earth, with extraordinarily high compatibility. Ordinary things contain unimaginable wisdom.

Jiang Ding had a premonition.

If his Six Paths Order could form the structure of the Six Dao Reincarnation, then perhaps it would be possible to match order with rules and truly secure a place in the realm of Refining Nothingness!

The existence of the Six Dao Reincarnation magic structure and the widespread myth of the Six Dao Reincarnation in human civilization.

It surely wasn’t a coincidence!

This is the heritage of the overlord species of the Endless Starry Sky.

This species, when weak, is truly weak, and when strong, it is truly formidable—casually embedding terrible legacies in myths. This is what inheritance is, vastly different from newly emerged groups like the Horned Demon Imperial Clan.

Of course, all this is predicated on having the capability to comprehend.

Without this ability, even as a member of the overlord species of the Endless Starry Sky, it is useless; one should die if meant to die, be bullied if meant to be bullied.

No human elder will care about the death of an unrecognized clan member, nor will there be any emotional fluctuations; the so-called dignity of the overlord race doesn’t exist at all.

This race is not about kindness and tolerance or good reputations.

If you are weak, you’d better die quietly on your own, without expecting help or support from fellow strong members of your race.

“The Six Paths structure!”

“The inheritance of the overlord species of the Endless Starry Sky…”

Jiang Ding’s eyes revealed a longing: “Perhaps, it would be wise to establish a myth research similar to the study of ethnic medicine, delving into myths and customs that are prevalent in human civilization and not limited to a small region, exploring the possibility of an overlord legacy within them.”

“If fruitful discoveries can be made, it would surely advance the Immortal Science of the Xianmen Sect by a great leap!”
