Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1351: Chapter 1319: Great Sun Celestial Lord’s Northern Patrol

Regarding the Ancient Divine Domain, the Ancient Divine Path’s homeland, the Nine Great Immortal Sects worked with exceptional efficiency, quickly completing the signing of the Nine Spirits Jiao Ming Memorandum.

In this memorandum, the Nine Great Immortal Sects agreed to pursue mutual interests in the Ancient Divine Domain.

Just as they attacked the Horned Ming Realm in the past, they agreed to cooperate on Immortal Dao Technology, resources, equipment, and treasures, allowing limited trade freedom—all for a wider domain for survival.

Of course, this concerns future matters.

The immediate priority is to go to the area near the two domains’ passageways indicated by the Ancient God Order, complete the sealing and suppression of this passageway, and first ensure the safety of the Jiao Ming Realm, protecting themselves.

When necessary, they could attempt to explode the passageway between the two domains, rendering anyone above Harmonization helpless for tens of thousands of years.

…

Peace was restored between domains.

Wars disappeared everywhere, and production in various regions rapidly recovered.

In the Nine Spirits Realm, within the Medium Thousand Worlds, the Eight Great Immortal Sects were filled with joy, hanging lights and banners, celebrating the Harmonization ceremonies.

The entire Eight Great Immortal Sects were overjoyed, with Nascent Soul Cultivators and Nascent Soul Monks crying tears of joy, as if emerging from hell, no longer being constantly monitored by the Central Array Spirit Computer, and always at risk of execution.

Now, not only were they safe.

There was also hope for the Immortal Path!

Immortal Sect’s Divine Transformation practitioners could spy on Void Refinement, Nascent Soul could advance to Divine Transformation, Golden Pill could advance to Nascent Soul… Some Immortal Sect cultivators would gain the dividends of war, significantly reducing the difficulty of cultivation.

The reason why it’s some rather than all is the norm within the Immortal Sect.

Many within the Immortal Sect are oppressed, and even a large sum of war dividends doesn’t reach them, concentrating extremely on the top level, at most spreading to the mid-upper level, with scarcely any trickling down to the lower level, benefiting every group within the Immortal Sect is impossible.

Once safety was confirmed, the Immortal Sect disciples also gradually returned, celebrating with the entire sect.

Out of courtesy, Xianmen Sect also sent a plenipotentiary ambassador to the Immortal Sect to offer congratulations and appropriate gifts, not willing to intentionally create tension over unimportant matters.

The plenipotentiary ambassador to the Immortal Sect was a Peak Divine Transformation Cultivator.

Void Refining cultivators and the Great Sun Celestial Lord could not venture to other sects alone, the risks were too great.

However, at the celebration, there were only great expert avatars.

The real great experts, along with hundreds of millions of the Immortal Gate Citizen Fleet, had already journeyed to the domain passageways between the Horned Ming Realm and the Ancient Divine Domain, stationed there to investigate the Ancient Divine Path relics.

The Nine Great Immortal Sects planned to cultivate a large-scale Harmonization-level formation there, and also establish a formation to explode the domain passageways if necessary.

This had little to do with Jiang Ding.

He was about to leave the Nine Spirits Realm, exit the Horned Ming Realm to return to the Mother Star, succeeding Canghai True Venerable in guarding the Mother Star, and wouldn’t stay long here.

“Teacher, I’m leaving.”

“If anything comes up, talk to my avatar left in the Nine Spirits Realm.”

Jiang Ding waved to Dinghai Heavenly Monarch, Slaughter Spirit Heavenly Monarch, Zhang Junsheng, and others, expressing regret: “It’s a pity, my recommendation for you to serve as Netherworld University Chancellor was rejected by the committee, seized by a more experienced and powerful Celestial Lord, but you remain one of the vice-chancellors.”

Dinghai Heavenly Monarch’s qualifications were too shallow, even with a recommendation from the Great Sun Celestial Lord, it was also rejected by the committee.

“It’s fine, I anticipated this.”

Dinghai Heavenly Monarch smiled wryly: “True Magnet Heavenly Monarch is a Peak Divine Transformation practitioner, with outstanding battle merits, having repeatedly contributed in Immortal Dao research, and in education cultivated many excellent students.”

“Indeed, I’m not as good as him.”

“It’s alright, what’s lacking is the time for honing. Perhaps, in a few thousand more years, the situation will differ.”

Jiang Ding said comfortingly.

Subsequently, he bid farewell to his mentors and friends, transforming into a streak of blue-gold sword light, disappearing at a speed far surpassing Divine Transformation cultivators, akin to Early Void Refining practitioners.

Canghai Heavenly Monarch, Si Yan Heavenly Monarch, and others also departed.

This was no departure; Jiang Ding’s avatar remained here to oversee various research work, connected with the Harmonization-level Central Array Spirit Computer for real-time communication with the Mother Star, barely differing from usual, hence there was no sentimentality, just a casual farewell.

In the cosmic starry sky.

Great Sun Heavenly Pond traversed through teleportation formations repeatedly, using super transmission arrays within various Minor Thousand Worlds as nodes, traversing between domains.

Safety concerns were temporarily alleviated.

Hundreds of millions of Citizen Fleets were stationed with the eight great experts, cooperating in suppressing the domain passageways, as well as for monitoring, under the constant watch of the Central Array Spirit Computer.

If any great expert disappeared from the Central Array Spirit Computer’s monitoring, it would tantamount to a war declaration.

Jiang Ding would be immediately notified, instantly concealing his form and fleeing into the unknown starry sky.

The domain was incredibly vast; the Harmonization God Monarch might not find his trace within decades, helpless against him.

The Great Sun Heavenly Pond teleported several times, finally landing in the Magic Vine Minor Realm.

This was the location of the Horned Ming Realm’s Second Expeditionary Army Headquarters.

As one of the nine members of the Immortal Sect Political Council, Jiang Ding came with a mission to inspect and console here, assessing the changes, strengths, weaknesses of the current management system of the Minor Thousand Worlds operated by the Immortal Sect for over a millennium, evaluating if there are areas for improvement, to provide data support for the next steps in internal reforms of the Immortal Sect.

Indeed, internal reform within the Immortal Sect was imperative.

It’s not a question of whether to reform, but how to reform.

A consensus had been reached within the Immortal Sect; failure to reform would have a massive impact on the developmental potential of the Immortal Sect, potentially leading to falling from the rank of Nine Great Immortal Sects after several tens of thousands of years unless advancement is maintained.

The current hundreds of billions population of the Immortal Sect couldn’t possibly support a dominant force spanning across two domains and over one hundred eighty Minor Thousand Worlds!

There wasn’t enough talent, let alone discussing anything else?

The current barely sustained position was entirely due to the accumulation of talent by the Immortal Sect over nearly twenty thousand years, the successive awakenings of many hibernating cultivators from Sleeping Hidden Realm advancing to the Divine Transformation Stage, filling the talent gap, otherwise, the Immortal Sect wouldn’t have been able to sprout so many forces in such a short period.

Without enough Divine Transformation practitioners as senior officers, not even far-reaching strategies could smoothly command army formations, resulting in immense declines in strength.

These were past windfalls of history, unavailable in the future.

All hibernating cultivators had awakened.

Hundreds of billions of people, let alone venturing into the Ancient Divine Domain or peering beyond Harmonization, even maintaining the two domains’ foundation would be difficult, neglect would lead to significant problems in the future.

Currently, the Immortal Sect faced only two paths.

One was to massively increase the population of the Mother Star, potentially to one trillion, several trillion, or ten trillion; digging talent from a trillion populace would surely yield superior results compared to hundreds of billions.

However, this was detested by many citizens.

With too many people, the public welfare of the Immortal Sect would undoubtedly be massively reduced, a certainty.

The other path was proposed by the Great Sun Celestial Lord, to integrate qualified cultivators of thought and moral integrity from the Outer Realm, recognizing the Immortal Sect, with scientific creativity, and meritorious deeds, welcoming elite talents of the Ten Thousand Clans, which was extremely effective for the stable governance of Minor Thousand Worlds, and could acquire many of the best domain elites.

The arrival of elites from various cultures and diverse Immortal Paths could significantly accelerate the progression of Immortal Sect’s Immortal Dao Technology.

The downside was the increased risk of rebellion.

These two paths, with the onset of peace and the temporary halt of domain wars, ignited a storm of public opinion within the Immortal Sect.
