Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Atop the Six Dao Throne, a profound silence reigns.

Jiang Ding knew not what to say.

If it were old acquaintances from the past, Immortals of Nascent Soul he knew and grew up with, he could chat about how they have fared over the years, the events they encountered, and whether there had been any major incidents.

But now?

What to speak of?

It seemed there was everything to say, yet nothing could be said.

In the end, all he could do was to sigh softly.

”Has Tushan Central Court failed to birth a Divinity Transformation in the end?”

Jiang Ding regained his inner calm and said faintly.

To avoid sorrow and parting, the most effective method seems to be to never form any bonds with anyone. In this way, one will not have anything to lose since they never gained anything to begin with.

His Divine Sense enveloped the entire Tushan Central Court, and he did not find a single Cultivator at the God Transformation Realm.

Nowadays, ’old friends’ and ’Nascent Soul Cultivator’ were highly overlapping terms. Those old friends without the Divine Transformation Realm have been dead for countless years, having reached the limits of their lifespan and unable to survive.

”My Lord,”

”The Celestial Beings of Tushan Central Court have all gone to East Sea Blood Demon Abyss to stand guard and engage in battle, they are not in the Central Court.”

One of the twelve maids, a Six-tailed Fox Clan’s Cultivator with the strongest aura and the Chief Maiden, promptly spoke: ”This includes Celestials such as Colorful Jade Heavenly Monarch, Ice Snow Heavenly Monarch, and other seniors, who have yet to return.”

Colorful Jade Heavenly Monarch?

Ice Snow Heavenly Monarch? Wasn’t it Ice Snow?

Jiang Ding’s mind stirred slightly, but he was soon attracted by another term: ”What is East Sea Blood Demon Abyss?”

”My Lord,”

”The East Sea Blood Demon Abyss appeared more than two hundred years ago, an extensive Blood Abyss Sea that constantly spews out Blood Demons who sow endless slaughter. Over two hundred years ago, almost the entire population of Tushan Cultivators in the East Sea were massacred, with the Ice Snow Heavenly Monarch severely injured and forced to flee.”

The Six-tailed Fox Clan’s maid recalled those past events, her face paling slightly: ”Afterward, the Celestial Beings of the Central Court and the grand army rushed to the East Sea, spending over a hundred years through countless battles before they could finally seal it, preventing the incessant emergence of Blood Demons.”

”However, despite this, Blood Demons still occasionally break through the seal, forcing the Celestial Beings of the Central Court to remain stationed there at all times.”

The maids who had experienced war looked longingly at the youth on the throne.

”The Blood Demons within the Abyss Sea…”

Jiang Ding murmured thoughtfully.

It appeared to be spatial teleportation, or maybe something else—something his store of knowledge had not touched upon.

”Continue, speak of the Divinity Transformation Cultivators in Tushan Central Court now.”

Jiang Ding didn’t ponder too deeply, setting aside these questions for now, and instead asked.

He found that his heart now was cold, tranquil, not swayed at all by the news of the demise of the East Sea Human Race over two hundred years ago, even though at least hundreds of millions of people perished.

This feeling was somewhat uncomfortable for him.

”Yes, My Lord.”

The Six-tailed Fox Clan’s maid replied respectfully: ”In Tushan Central Court, there are currently seven Human Clan Heavenly Monarchs: Ice Snow Heavenly Monarch, Colorful Jade Heavenly Monarch, Lou Xi Heavenly Monarch, Qingyun Heavenly Monarch, Great Love Heavenly Monarch, Scorching Sun Heavenly Monarch, and Six Paths Celestial Monarch, as well as three Demon Race Heavenly Monarchs: Hundred Poison Celestial Monarch, Bai Feng Heavenly Monarch, and Moon Night Heavenly Monarch.”

”In total, ten Heavenly Monarchs.”

She stated proudly.

According to the historical records of the world, there has never been such an abundance of Heavenly Monarchs born, and all within the same power at that.

The emergence of these Heavenly Monarchs has further solidified the rule of Tushan Central Court, which has become ever more prosperous compared to a thousand years ago.

”It seems they are all familiar faces…”

Jiang Ding paused for a moment: ”Ice Snow Heavenly Monarch? Is this Mu Tiansnow? I remember she used to be called Ice Snow Immortal, why the change in title?”

Cultivators transmit information with Divine Sense very accurately; it’s impossible for there to be confusion due to homophones.

”This...”

The Six-tailed Fox Clan’s maid appeared bewildered.

Clearly, the changes in a Heavenly Monarch’s moniker were a distant matter to her, and she was clueless about the intricacies involved.

Though it may seem like a trivial matter without the need for secrecy, after over a thousand years, it has become top secret. Apart from the old acquaintances from those years, it’s difficult for anyone else to know what exactly happened.

In her memories, the Ice Snow Heavenly Monarch had always been the Ice Snow Heavenly Monarch; there was never any Ice Snow Immortal.

”Nevermind that.”

Jiang Ding didn’t press her further and asked, ”Then, the Hundred Poison Celestial Monarch and Bai Feng Heavenly Monarch, they must be the two eggs I picked up. Hm, they have fairly good talents. It’s only been over a thousand years, and they’ve already ascended to Divinity Transformation, their luck and bloodlines are quite acceptable.”

More than a thousand years ago, Jiang Ding slew the Ice Phoenix Clan’s Ice Phoenix Heavenly Monarch, the Ice Field Heavenly Monarch, and the Bai Zu Heavenly Lord from the Southern Border, obtaining the Ice Phoenix egg and the centipede egg from these two species.

Back then, he disdained having to dispatch an egg that hadn’t yet developed spiritual awareness, thus he brought them back to Tushan Central Court, handed them over to the Governance Sect for normal rearing and growth, without much attention or imposed restrictions.

After a thousand years, those two eggs became Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarchs.

Just over a thousand years...

The Six-tailed Fox Clan’s maids swallowed hard.

At that moment, they realized the vast difference between the Heavenly Monarchs’ lifespan and their own, as if a thousand years was merely a fleeting period.

”Colorful Jade Heavenly Monarch.”

”Gong Caiyu.”

”This one turned out well, a Nascent Soul Cultivator finally emerged from the political workers’ maids.”

”Otherwise, the political system of Tushan Central Court would not operate effectively. Those guys are all lawless ruffians, always pushing the limits of Tushan Law to capture the greatest benefit. To say they would actively uphold Tushan Law is a joke; the loopholes in Tushan Law were created by their own hands...”

Jiang Ding continued to grumble.

Looking back at many years ago, when he first arrived in this world, the first person he met was this clumsy woman. He thought she would die quickly in the jianghu or perish amidst the cruel Cultivation World.

Unexpectedly, she is now a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

”And who is this Moon Night Heavenly Monarch? A new paragon born within a thousand years?”

Jiang Ding inquired.

Most others could guess; they were all old acquaintances, with their talents and charisma having been well-known, and in their younger days, they were notable figures.

But this Moon Night Heavenly Monarch was a bit of a puzzle.

”No, my lord.”

”The Moon Night Heavenly Monarch is one of your maids, have you forgotten?”

The Six-tailed Fox Clan’s maid asked doubtfully: ”Your maid from the Tushan Immortal City Period, the true form of Moon Night Heavenly Monarch was a very cute rabbit...”

”A rabbit!”

”That mutant moonlight rabbit!”

Jiang Ding suddenly came to a realization and recalled immediately.

During the reconstruction of Tushan Immortal City, he obtained three maids of the Demon Race, each equivalent to the Sky Spiritual Root of the Human Race with Earthly Quality Bloodline, symbolizing the beginning of Tushan’s acceptance of outstanding individuals from the Demon Race. Later on, these three maids progressed to the Nascent Soul Stage as well.

However, this rabbit seemed quite ordinary and had no notable military achievements.

Her greatest pastime seemed to be sleeping, basking in the Great Sun or the moon. She led a careless existence without much effort.

More than a thousand years later, all her peers, the Demon Cultivators, had died, yet she alone survived well. It’s a wondrous twist of fate; nothing is eternal and unchanging.
