Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1305: Chapter 1273: Unveiling the Mystery of the True Immortal’s Child

Great Sun Heavenly Pond

Jiang Ding sat cross-legged within the Sun Abyss.

Vast streams of Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi converged, while endless rays of sunlight condensed at a central point through the Six Paths Order web, forming a terrifyingly high temperature that emanated destruction at its peak. Aided by the Formation Methods within the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, the heat here had escalated to an unimaginably frightening level.

Nascent Soul—no, Nascent Soul Cultivators had no qualifications to approach this place. Even a casual ray of sunlight could vaporize both their Divine Souls and physical bodies completely, leaving neither residue nor ashes. Every material particle and soul particle would be atomized, reverting to their most primitive form.

At this moment, even a Refining Nothingness Cultivator standing here would suffer severe injuries within a short period, unable to withstand the force.

And now, at the center of it all, lay only a golden piece of metal.

This metal was the size of a palm, dazzlingly golden yellow, and even a trace of its golden energy could tear apart swathes of space and interrupt vast stretches of order. Its natural sharpness carried an inherent, terrible edge.

This was the pinnacle treasure of the Xianmen Sect, the crown jewel of Immortal Sect’s synthetic industry—Unit One Synthetic Geng Metal!

Its grade? Refining Nothingness top-tier, Sixth Order top-grade material!

Simply acquiring this single raw material required consuming a portion of Refining Nothingness battle merits.

Don’t think it expensive, though—this was the Immortal Sect citizen price, discounted multiple times for those with distinguished Immortal Sect Merits. Various reductions resulted in its current cost.

Essentially, it reflected the raw material price with a slight addition for labor and patent fees, sold directly at cost, without a shred of profit.

If released to the outside world, even with relaxed material restrictions, trading three or four low-grade Refining Nothingness Treasures for one Unit One Synthetic Geng Metal would remain an impossibility—the values were simply unmatched.

In the Cultivation World, the higher the ladder of power, the rarer and more precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures become. Using lower-grade items to trade for high-grade ones comes with a steep premium, if successful at all.

Even then, the odds of finding someone willing to part with such treasures? Slim to none, unless a family member or descendant relied upon them for survival.

Jiang Ding, while cultivating, carefully observed the Unit One Synthetic Geng Metal beside him.

Thus far, Jiang Ding had already spent fifty-two years refining this Unit One Synthetic Geng Metal, but the sole result so far was its initial signs of liquefaction.

“The difficulty of refining a Refining Void Space Treasure far exceeds my imagination…”

Jiang Ding murmured to himself.

His gaze shifted toward another item nearby—a three-foot long Blue-Gold Flying Sword. Yet, its sword body remained entirely crimson red, far from its Treasure-refinement critical state, requiring even more time.

“At this point, it’s somewhat beyond me.”

“Refining Void Space Treasures has already exceeded my capabilities—I’m forcing the effort, as I have yet to comprehend Rule Power.”

Despite this acknowledgment, Jiang Ding’s eyes bore no trace of frustration, but instead grew increasingly bright.

His Mana continuously flowed into the Taiqing Flying Sword, simultaneously refining it while also introspecting on the Great Sun Destruction Rules within the sword. He reversed his process to adjust and fine-tune his Six Paths Order structure, leading to incremental changes through deep understanding.

Every few years, Jiang Ding would consolidate these insights and send them back to the Immortal Sect—specifically to the Six Paths Reincarnation Laboratory—to expedite their simulated deductions.

The Six Paths Reincarnation structure carried nearly limitless potential. It wasn’t merely about reaching completion through Order comparable to Rules.

Nascent Soul Cultivators could never grasp Rule Power.

This was an iron law.

However, in the Domains, truly elite Domain Prides—capable of using Order to slay Refining Nothingness Cultivators—existed.

This wasn’t a matter of weaker overcoming stronger, but entirely about the strong overpowering the weak.

These elite Domain Prides, True Immortal’s Children, or Pure-blood Dragon Phoenixes could accomplish such feats purely because their mastery of Order Power was terrifyingly flawless and far surpassed that of many Refining Nothingness Cultivators.

This terrifying Immortal Path foundation granted them fleeting glimpses of ascension into the True Immortal Realm, offering a sliver of hope.

“Order Power is the embryonic stage of Rule Power—critical for Cultivators, as it determines the future strength and depth of Rule Power birthed by Nascent Soul Cultivators.”

“The Great Sun Sword Pavilion, inheriting partial teachings from the Upper Realm’s Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, provides a clear classification of Order Power.”

Jiang Ding recalled the Great Sun Sword Pavilion’s legacy.

“The perfection level of Order structures is divided into three tiers: Virtual Level, Dao Level, and Immortal Level.”

“The Virtual Level correlates to Refining Nothingness.”

“The Dao Level surpasses Refining Nothingness—its benchmark lies in slaying a Refining Nothingness Cultivator, proving superiority.”

“The Immortal Level demonstrates invincibility within the Refining Nothingness Cultivation tier using a Divinity Transformation body.”

“Within the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, solar and lunar swordsmen across generations consistently achieved Dao Level Rules, often ranking among top-tier practitioners.”

“Yet, Immortal Level Order remains extraordinarily rare.”

Comparing the inheritance content, Jiang Ding wasn’t surprised to find his Six Paths Order fell within the Virtual Level Order tier—barely earning the title of Human Race Domain Pride.

This designation meant he wasn’t weak and held sufficient qualifications to become a follower of Pure-blood Dragon Phoenixes.

However,

The immense gap between himself and true Pure-blood Dragon Phoenixes…

“The Heavenly Sword Sword Son should currently be within the Dao Level Order tier.”

Jiang Ding came to a gradual understanding.

The mysterious veil surrounding the Heavenly Sword Sword Son seemed to lift, the figure no longer appearing as an unattainable immortal above the clouds.

“Upon entering Divinity Transformation, the Heavenly Sword Sword Son could already slay Refining Nothingness Cultivators, possessing Dao Level Order.”

“Terrifying…”

Desire crept into Jiang Ding’s eyes.

This was the ladder to immortality.

At that moment, an Immortal Gate True Monarch entered the Sun Abyss and saluted.

“Vice Marshal,”

The Second Expeditionary Army’s Chief-of-Staff, Shanjian True Monarch, reported: “The Northern Route’s Starry Sky Corps led by Huo Baosan has suffered defeat at the hands of the Steel Bone King’s allied forces from the Skull Blood Vine Demon Imperial Court and are in retreat.

Currently, the Northern Army is entrenched in the Fire Crystal Small World, with the situation precarious. Both the Eastern and Western armies are en route to reinforce.”

“This should be the final battle in our rebellion campaign unless the Eight Great Immortal Sects decide to deploy troops directly.”

It was evident he wasn’t troubled by the prospect of defeat; his tone was relaxed.

With the Dari Swordsman present,

Battles below Refining Nothingness would never result in loss!

This confidence was shared by all Cultivators across the Domain.

The prolonged rebellion efforts stemmed solely from the enemy’s refusal to centralize their forces—they scattered, moved fluidly, and engaged in guerilla warfare with cunning strategies.

The Dari Swordsman, despite immense strength, could not coordinate such efforts singlehandedly.

This marked the rebellion’s greatest challenge.

The difficulty had never been with direct war engagements.

“Huo Baosan lost?”

Jiang Ding didn’t pause his Flying Sword refinement or Cultivation steps, and inquired casually: “Is the Steel Bone King an Emperor?”

“Yes, the Steel Bone King possesses Emperor-tier strength.”

“Additionally, he demonstrates proficiency in Army Formation Methods and political sophistication, uniting numerous Minor Thousand World clans under shared pressure, gaining reverence from various races as Steel Bone Heavenly King, commanding an army of tens of millions.”

“His strategy likely hinges upon exploiting the chaotic inter-clan warfare among Human Race Domain Overlords—thriving within these cracks to ascend toward becoming a Domain Overlord himself and securing true survival within a Domain.”

“Probability-wise, this possibility does exist.”

Shanjian True Monarch analyzed earnestly.

“Indeed.”

“This actually aids us significantly, sparing the need to hunt fleeing targets across extended timelines, thereby minimizing unexpected variables.”

Jiang Ding nodded slightly and issued commands: “Relay this to Hua Teng, Huo Baosan, Blood River King, and other Minor Thousand World Divinity Transformation and Nascent Soul monks.”

“I grant them ten years.”

“Within ten years, regardless of success or failure, I shall annihilate all opponents—stripping them of further opportunities and the growth resources they’ve been given.”

“Understood, Vice Marshal!”

Shanjian True Monarch saluted.
