Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1335: Chapter 1303: The Wisdom of Trillions of Cultivators in the Three Domains Transforms into a Torrent

“By the way, Swordsman, now that you’re starting to come into contact with areas beyond the Domain, there’s something you should pay attention to.”

The Great Sun Heavenly Pool Moon Spirit said solemnly, “All sect-defining Supreme Treasures possess sentience—or perhaps not sentience precisely, but certain Divine Sense logics.”

“These are the Divine Sense logics of Near Immortal-level entities.”

“These Supreme Treasures do not entirely obey the orders of Gui Cong and others. Their foundational logic revolves around the Sect’s survival and continuation. For example, when the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master appeared, the Supreme Divine Moon Sword refused to acknowledge his legitimacy and did not pledge loyalty to him as the initial Sword Master.”

“If you encounter another Upper Realm sect seed like the Daymoon Sword Pavilion or another Great Sun Heavenly Pool outside the Domain, it’s best to figure out a way to seize her!”

The Moon Spirit said excitedly, “We can fuse, which would save a significant amount of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure needed for advancing to the Unity Realm, while also deepening potential further.”

“Of course, she may not necessarily be called the Great Sun Heavenly Pool; perhaps she might be named Solar Throne or Fiery Sun Pearl—names don’t matter. She is, fundamentally, the Great Sun Heavenly Pool.”

“Back when the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm scattered its inheritance seeds across the Endless Starry Sky, some seeds were planted quite close to one another. If you encounter them, simply eliminate the disobedient Sword Cultivators among them, and then you can take over the entire Sect, gaining the loyalty of all its disciples and elders. Even the sect-defining Supreme Treasures will cooperate with you… um…”

Moon hesitated for a moment.

“A simple reliance on the Great Sun might not be sufficient; it might not gain recognition. How about capturing Yu Qianzi and impersonating the Sun and Moon Sword Child?”

“That should work!”

She was visibly thrilled, displaying the temperament of a violent war fanatic, speaking lightly of killing, devouring, capturing, and imposing Spirit Soul Restrictions.

“Could there really be other Immortal Sect seeds beyond the Domain?”

Jiang Ding froze.

Clang!

The Taiqing Flying Sword chimed joyfully.

“Moon, why do you acknowledge the First Generation Great Sun Sword Master?”

Jiang Ding asked curiously.

Before Moon developed sentience and became a living being, she should theoretically have devoted herself entirely to preserving the Daymoon Sword Pavilion, just like the Supreme Divine Moon Sword.

“Because the First Generation Sword Master was powerful!”

Moon answered matter-of-factly, “The First Generation Sword Master was incredibly strong, making him the best inheritor of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm. If I don’t acknowledge him, who else would I acknowledge?”

“For the powerful, everything they do is correct.”

“Understood.”

Jiang Ding came to terms with her reasoning.

…

Across the Cosmic Starry Sky, the Unity Realm battle came to a close.

“A pity.”

“They didn’t annihilate each other; the Eastern Devil School emerged victorious, while Xuanwu fled.”

The Great Power of the Wanshou Immortal Sect retracted his gaze, remarking regretfully.

The surrounding Great Powers of the Immortal Sect shared his sentiment, sighing deeply, wishing for the quick demise of these two scourges.

“Gui Cong has nearly fallen from the Unity Realm Stage. Tianji, is there a way to calculate his location and use the Eastern Devil School to kill him?”

The Great Power of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect asked.

The nature of his inquiry suggested he likely had a high degree of confidence in his approach.

“It’s not possible.”

A Great Power from the Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace declined. “Nearly falling from the Unity Realm Stage is still Unity Realm. Although I specialize in the Heavenly Mechanism Technique, I cannot compare to cultivators of a higher tier in such matters. Furthermore, Xuanwu’s proficiency in the Heavenly Mechanism Technique is formidable and lacks weaknesses—I simply do not possess the capability.”

Unless cooperation with the Central Formation Spirit Computer of the Eastern Devil School was involved.

He didn’t voice this consideration, nor did any other Great Power inquire further, tacitly acknowledging the notion.

“Among us, there should be individuals with foundations comparable to Xuanwu; they might simply lack his confidence or be unwilling to face the greatest risks of attempting the initial breakthrough.”

The Great Power of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect brushed past the topic and continued, “The residual effects of the Unity Realm Heavenly Tribulation will dissipate in about fifty years. At that time, conditions will be suitable for undertaking the Tribulation. Are any Fellow Daoists prepared to attempt it?”

“If so, it would be best to act quickly.”

“If we can gradually undergo the Tribulation, with three or four Harmonization Divine Monarchs among us, it may still be possible to swiftly eliminate the Eastern Devil School before the Central Array Spirit Computer ascends.”

He clearly harbored great fears toward the Eastern Devil School and its anomalous nature, particularly when compounded with the rise of the Great Sun Swordsman, unwilling to further tolerate its growth.

The historical alliance and mutual support between the two sects to endure past tribulations had long since faded into irrelevance.

“There is someone.”

“In fifty years, I shall undertake the Tribulation myself.”

The Great Power from the Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace replied with calm resignation.

“Excellent!”

The surrounding Great Powers of the Immortal Sect nodded in approval, showing little surprise at his declaration.

…

Thirty years later.

Yuan led billions in the Citizen Fleet back.

He had nearly combed the entire Horned Ming Realm, jumping countless times through the vast domain, scouring and searching tirelessly for a severely wounded and critical Harmonization Divine Monarch.

“You didn’t find one?”

The Divine Machine True Venerable approached, glancing at Yuan’s expression as he posed the question.

“No, he’s too adept at hiding.”

“The universe’s fortune hasn’t favored me.”

Yuan sighed deeply. “Perhaps, to the Endless Starry Sky and Cosmos, no matter the killings or atrocities committed, it’s of little consequence. After all, all living creatures are bound within cycles of life and death, repeating endlessly—the significance has long been nullified, devoid of worth.”

“Good and evil, right and wrong only hold meaning for beings like us.”

“It’s fine—returning sooner is better under the circumstances.”

The Divine Machine True Venerate replied nonchalantly, “For the next thousand years, Xuanwu won’t pose a threat to us. What truly impacts our survival lies with those seven remaining individuals and, most importantly, the ascension of the Central Array Spirit Computer.”

“Your remote handling of research projects out there has ultimately hindered efficiency.”

“Now that you’re back, the progress of digesting the Harmonization Divine Soul Structure should accelerate, which is a good thing.”

“Indeed, regarding the 7234th Harmonization Divine Soul Structure, I have an idea…”

Yuan discussed as he walked beside the Divine Machine True Venerate.

Meanwhile, throughout the entire Immortal Sect, all cultivators, including those within the Mother Star like the Canghai True Venerable, had mobilized in full force, focused entirely on the monumental task of digesting the Harmonization Divine Soul Structure. They worked tirelessly and at peak efficiency to facilitate the Central Array Spirit Computer’s ascension to the Unity Realm, aiming to achieve a level of power that could withstand the collective siege of all eight Harmonization Divine Monarchs from the Eight Great Immortal Sects.

Only then could the sect solidify its position across the Two Domains—or perhaps Three Domains—avoiding a precarious existence on the brink of annihilation.

Driven by urgency, the Immortal Sect had further decentralized its research efforts, delegating simpler data and research tasks to races and factions from numerous Minor Thousand Worlds across the Two Domains—180 worlds in total. This mobilization brought the wisdom of billions of cultivators together, redirecting their intellectual power toward the grand Harmonization project.

Two Domains—or maybe Three.

After all, even Northern Plains cultivators had joined a minuscule part of the Harmonization project, and their contributions, while small, had demonstrated efficiency far beyond those of worlds like the Magic Vine Minor Realm, advancing the process ever so slightly.

The organized wisdom of billions of cultivators across Three Domains surged forward like a torrential flood, united toward a shared purpose—a grand, ambitious goal.

Amid this intense Immortal Research, the years flowed by unnoticed.

Another thirty years passed.

BOOM!

One day, a thunderous clap resounded in the starry sky, rolling clouds amassing tens of thousands of miles, as far-reaching, lightning-laden rules illuminated the surroundings with terrifying might.

“Heavenly Tribulation,”

“Yet another Heavenly Tribulation…”

Yuan, the Great Sun Celestial Lord, Wan Ji True Venerable, and others emerged from their secluded research, opening their eyes, shrouded in killing intent.
