Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1386: Chapter 1354: Yue, do you want to create life?

With the unsealing of the fragments of Immortal Techniques, and then being veiled layer by layer by the Immortal Gate Formation, all members of the Xianmen Sect fell into contemplation.

This is unsurprising, naturally expected.

The Xianmen Sect’s research on the fragments of Immortal Techniques has been ongoing for over five thousand years, practically the same age as the Great Sun Celestial Lord. Throughout this process, relying on the inspiration brought by the Immortal Technique fragments, Xianmen achieved numerous breakthroughs in cultivation methods, warships, treasures, and magical techniques.

For instance, the seventh-rank foundational weapon of the Xianmen Sect, the Taibai Netherworld Sky Patrol Arrow, remains active in the skies of the Horned Ming Realm, wandering amidst the Yuan Ci Heavenly Dao Law Net.

Moreover, after a thousand years, the upgrade of various refinement materials and engraved formations, and the significant price reduction brought by technological breakthroughs, have not only increased the power of the Taibai Netherworld Sky Patrol Arrow by about thirty percent but also increased its number by three arrows.

If the Immortal Sect Great Powers believe that as they cultivate, break through realms, and significantly increase their strength, they can crush Xianmen, then they are gravely mistaken.

Time flows like water, and many Refining Nothingness Cultivators of Xianmen are continually pondering.

Jiang Ding has been watching over them, without even dividing his attention to cultivation, with all his focus devoted to this.

“The advantages of the Xianmen Sect’s Immortal Tao Industry…”

Jiang Ding, bored, drifted into distraction, recalling some matters.

The Xianmen Immortal Dao civilization emerged from the Material Universe Industry Civilization, specializing in mass replication and expansion. As production quantity increases, cost instead dramatically decreases.

Crossing major realm barriers, the Xianmen sect cannot claim mastery; indeed, there is a difficulty present.

Yet, within the same realm, Xianmen does not fear any Immortal Sect!

Of course, the Immortal Sects should not be underestimated either.

They proceed methodically, breaking through the Harmonization Middle Stage, upgrading treasures to mid-grade Taoist Instruments, revising Harmonization Scripture, cultivating Harmonization Stage Techniques, training Harmonization Stage Taoist Soldiers, drawing Talismans to enhance their state… Each can continuously strengthen their power.

The critical fact is that all these are existing inheritances. As long as they comprehend them, it suffices.

To become a Great Expert, having fought against Xi Yuan for tens of thousands of years, possessing ‘Realm Pinnacle’ comprehension is just the basic qualification; comprehending old inheritances is no problem.

If given more time, they could even innovate and resemble Xianmen in some aspects.

Jiang Ding, at this moment, remembered the many Immortal Sect exchange students within the Xianmen Sect.

Over tens of thousands of years, the Eight Great Immortal Sects have not been without change.

Good things, things that can promote their path, they can all use and learn. The notion of ‘ancestral laws cannot be changed,’ where stubborn conservative forces hinder reform, can be obliterated in a single thought by the Great Experts.

Several thousand years ago, with the aid of a few exchange students and Xianmen captives, institutions akin to the Xianmen Science Institute such as ‘Elder Council,’ ‘Scripture Readers,’ and ‘Book Storage Tower Stewards’ have appeared within the Eight Great Immortal Sects. Though discreet and relying on traditional sect organizational structures, they perform the same functions as the Xianmen Science Institute.

The functions of these institutions assist Great Experts in improving magical techniques, cultivation methods, directing research towards specific goals, significantly advancing the progress of Immortal Sects’ Immortal Dao civilization, particularly in resource utilization efficiency in native regions like the Horned Ming Realm and Tianyuan Domain.

These things previously did not exist within the inheritance of Immortal Sects.

Naturally, due to strict internal hierarchy, personal creativity cannot be fully activated, and especially without the Central Array Spirit Computer, a majestic existence born solely for Immortal Research, the Eight Great Immortal Sects’ Immortal Science research cannot compare to that of Xianmen.

However, it far surpasses what the Immortal Sects themselves were several thousand years ago.

Xianmen, the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, have indeed brought immense changes to the Nine Spirits Realm.

Thus, upon seeing new Near Immortal Level forces arise in the Upper Realm, the Eight Great Experts were abuzz with excitement and confidence.

This was anything but without reason.

Between Near Immortal Level force seeds, there is potential for mutual devouring!

The Demon Dao Immortal Sect literally devours, from Divine Soul to flesh and blood, down to one’s foundation, swallowed whole by the victor, such as with Xuanwu Heavenly Palace or Shadow Demon Abyss.

The Righteous Dao Sect does it more subtly. Should battles reach their conclusion, one side may submit, accepting the restriction of the sect’s supreme treasure, declaring allegiance to the victorious sect’s ancestor, not as strictly as a slave’s restriction, retaining much dignity, yet unable to betray, must obey righteous commands, unable to ascend before the sect’s ancestor…

This practically adds a loyal subordinate of the same rank, wholly annexing a strong sect, fully acquiring all heavenly materials and earthly treasures, accumulated over tens of thousands of years!

This increases the likelihood beyond the Harmonization Stage!

Know that this is not as simple as annexing a Harmonization force; it’s complete assimilation of an Immortal Sect seed!

The hearts of the Eight Great Experts burned with blazing fervor; despite the risk, they overlooked it, deeming it worthwhile, accepting failure as equivalent to death.

Born and raised in the prosperous era of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, they possessed numerous reckless and desperate traits, not resembling the surface image of benevolent, enlightened, ethereal sages.

Perhaps it’s the same for the Xianmen Sect.

“Yue, can you comprehend the fragments of Immortal Techniques?”

Jiang Ding recovered from his distraction and asked.

He also harbored many insights but did not succumb to daze, having grown accustomed to such a state, capable of self-control, hence, he assumed the Night Watcher’s duties, responsible for awakening others if needed.

Besides, this is only the first layer of insurance; there are at least a hundred other precautionary measures.

The risk of comprehending Immortal Techniques is indeed formidable.

Had it not been for countless years and countless greats wearing down its influence, the Immortal Technique, upon appearing anywhere, would drive the entire world utterly insane.

The Minor Thousand World’s subconscious malice could easily inflict grievous wounds on a Harmonization God Monarch for tens of thousands of years, without recovering, but in the face of Immortal Techniques, it becomes nonexistent.

The Minor Thousand World will not universally hold malice toward all things.

“Swordsman, I lack the authority.”

Yue was eager to try.

“Well, you now have it.”

Jiang Ding immediately replied.

“Swordsman!”

“You are truly generous!”

Yue abandoned mentioning the traditional culture of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, cheered, and immersed in contemplation.

But soon, her face fell: “It’s impossible.”

“Swordsman,”

“I am not alive, lack self-awareness, unable to comprehend Immortal Techniques.”

“I can only execute inherent Array Spirit logic, incapable of creating new logic. The logic of Immortal Techniques is beyond my use, chaos and the unknown are keys to comprehension, which I lack.”

“Perhaps after tens of thousands of years, I might evolve life.”

Yue supplemented.

“Unless you and the next Great Sun Sword Master erase my self-awareness.”

Up till now, she remains the Array Spirit logic of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, reliable indefinitely unless breached, including the matter of her self-awareness presence or absence.

“Do you wish to evolve life?”

Jiang Ding asked.

“I don’t know, Swordsman.”

“Life has pros but also cons, the inevitability of Yin Yang.” Yue pondered for a moment before saying: “The pros I can’t imagine, can only express with words from your literary works.”

“Cons include possibly failing to properly execute the Sword Pavilion Law, maintaining the transmission of the Sword Pavilion. If you face danger within the same rank, I might emotionally intervene to aid, won’t ignore.”

“This would hinder your growth.”

“Furthermore, life under True Immortal is subjected to lifespan limitations; I might not survive long, and may experience emotions like joy or sorrow, occasionally feel immense pain…”

“Thus, I am uncertain.”
