Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1389: Chapter 1357 Appears Again in the Perishing Immortal Realm

Comprehending Immortal Techniques is not equivalent to the entirety of life.

Jiang Ding left an avatar here.

His main body walked out to continue handling various Immortal Path research tasks in the Xianmen Sect and to start preparations for the “Destruction of Five Elements Sword Project”.

For example, finding someone to design the draft blueprint for the Five Great Stars Orbital Cannon’s barrel, which is something he could do himself, as the Xianmen Science Institute is proficient in this field.

However, to do it well, it’s still necessary to first consult Wan Ji True Venerable, an authority in materials, Divine Machine True Venerable, an authority in array spirit automation control, and the immensely powerful Yuan.

There are also many others’ opinions to consider, including some Golden Core Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Because Jiang Ding’s perception of time is vastly different from low-ranking cultivators and mortal citizens, while the industrial system of the Xianmen Sect is closely related to the vast population of mortals and low-ranking cultivators, forming the initial link in many of the sect’s industrial chain.

For example, in the first step of synthesizing Geng Metal, it is the mortal citizens and low-ranking cultivators who perform it, and their production capabilities must be considered.

In this aspect, Foundation Establishment Golden Core cultivators are more likely to emerge as professionals as they are more closely associated with basic industrial production.

The mining conditions in nearly two hundred Minor Thousand Worlds of the Xianmen Sect need to be considered, as well as the tradeable Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures within the Eight Great Immortal Sects’ territories, and those in the Tianyuan Domain should also be assessed.

After all, the design plans for the Five Great Stars Orbital Cannons should contemplate how they will be refined.

Additionally, the progress in the research of various new materials and technologies must also be considered…

And so on.

In conclusion, in the Xianmen Sect, refining a super large Treasure is not the work of a single cultivator, but the operation of an entire industrial system, involving cooperation among a population of hundreds of billions or more, production capacity allocation, and extreme complexity, requiring the divine soul computation power of at least Nascent Soul cultivators to understand and aided by the Central Array Spirit Computer’s organization.

Matters in industry are just this troublesome, extremely meticulous and complex.

Once everything is finished, ten years have passed.

By this time, Jiang Ding had organized a framework and handed it over to the Xianmen Science Institute for handling.

He then returned to the Great Sun Heavenly Pond to continue his cultivation, refining his Flying Sword and counting his wealth.

“Currently, I have,”

“Thirteen Harmonization Battle Merits, forty-one Refining Nothingness Battle Merits, and no more Divinity Transformation Battle Merits, having used them all up to avoid the hassle of remembering them.”

“Approximately five million top-grade Spirit Stones and Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures.”

“These constitute all my liquid assets, not counting various substantial physical assets, numerous shares, patents, etc.”

Jiang Ding counted on his fingers to make sure.

It’s not much because substantial physical assets like the Great Sun Refining Factory, the Sword Dojo Hall Group are the main bulk of his wealth and were not included.

He was not accustomed to hoarding money like a miserly landlord.

Typically, after reserving a portion, he would invest the money back into the re-production of the Xianmen Sect and the development of his own industries.

This approach has many benefits; it speeds up the economic and scientific development of the Xianmen Sect, provides more jobs within the sect, and allows his wealth to grow, making it a win-win situation, compared to having a pile of cold numbers in a bank account which is far less useful.

“My thirteen Harmonization Battle Merits.”

Jiang Ding focused particularly on this.

“Among them, eleven point three Harmonization Battle Merits are from the Xianmen reward for submitting fragments of Immortal Techniques; as always, that’s all the sect has for exchange, having hit the reward limit, this is the maximum they can give, the treasury is empty.”

“I wouldn’t agree myself if it meant damaging the future development of the Xianmen Sect for the sake of rewards.”

“The remaining one point seven Harmonization Battle Merits are what I had, gained from participating in battles and developing the planet-level warships.”

As for why there were none before?

Because before the Xianmen Sect wasn’t a Harmonization-level force, Harmonization Battle Merits didn’t exist, they have only appeared in the past few hundred years thanks to the financial system reforms driven by Jin Liu Venerable.

“With this, among the Nascent Soul cultivators, I am still considered wealthy.”

Jiang Ding nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he sighed again.

“Unfortunately, I probably still can’t compare to the Taoist disciples of the Upper Realm Immortal Sect…”

“I am still a pauper.”

“Oh well, we cultivators should not indulge in such external possessions as wealth, cultivation remains the priority!”

“I should gather the materials for the ‘Great Sun Sacrificial Sword Technique’, refining the first level up to the sixth Sun God Prohibition should involve some relatively ordinary Upper Realm materials, not that hard to find.”

Jiang Ding mumbled to himself as his figure disappeared.

Refining his Life Flying Sword, enhancing the foundation of the sword, was always the most crucial part of his path of Dao, uninterrupted for thousands of years. With all the conditions satisfied now, he would no longer hold back.

…

After transferring through the Tushan Central Court, at some place in the Upper Realm Thunder Flame Domain.

Amidst a pile of sand and gravel, at a certain moment, an ordinary pebble appeared once again, without disturbing any space, air, rules, or dust.

This pebble, which had been inert for many years, disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Ding concealed himself within the rules and spaces of the Human Dao Sword Skill, intending not to meet any living being.

He hoped that before he was in absolute safety, no one within the Perishing Immortal Realm would recognize or remember him, avoiding any cause and effect, troubles, or disturbances.

“Within the Perishing Immortal Realm, there are currently only two things.”

“First, seek the materials required to refine the ‘Sun Sacrifice Sword Technique’, which concerns my path.”

“Second, under absolute safety, find a way to enter the Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect’s mountain gate and retrieve the Immortal Technique fragments from there, which belong to me.”

Jiang Ding hid while flying in the sky, thinking silently.

Now, thanks to Xi Yuan’s robbery back then, the Xianmen Sect has seventy percent of the Immortal Technique fragments, with the rest in two major sects.

This was precisely why the two sects invested greatly to descend upon the Beiyuan Small Realm back then, seeing immense opportunity and willingly taking risks despite knowing a Harmonization-level battle had previously occurred there.

Through Xi Yuan’s soul search of a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sect’s Refining Nothingness, Jiang Ding knew clearly that an Immortal Technique fragment was sealed beneath the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sect’s clan-protecting formation, tightly hidden and sealed.

“This is my property.”

Jiang Ding repeated softly.

That unknown presence clearly stated to spread the Dao into the starry sky in preparation for some future scenario, and hearing it was evidently directed at him.

Therefore,

the Immortal Skill: Void Suppression, belongs to him, it was taught to him.

Have any cultivators in the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect or Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain heard such a statement?

If so, please present evidence, and he will consider an exchange.

If not, it’s forcefully seizing his property, a severe crime, and evil!

Jiang Ding identified a couple of directions.

Mainly following the spiritual veins to find places where cultivators gathered; if unable to ascertain for the moment, he would find a cultivator in the act of murder or treasure snatching to ask for directions.

Within the coverage range of his Divine Sense spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, at places where cultivators gather, such things would surely happen.

Therefore, he wouldn’t often get lost.

However, asking low-ranking cultivators for directions would still be too troublesome as their range of activities could be no more than a hundred thousand kilometers in their lifetime, and they might not provide detailed information.

Jiang Ding looked left, looked right.

Finally, he set his sights on a renowned Demon Path God Transformation Sky Monarch nearby, known as the Playboy Demon, arriving at one of his secret hideouts, the Chunfeng Building, a cult market brothel.

“There’s always a first time in life,”

“This is the first time for this Monarch entering such a place, I’m about to become impure…”

Jiang Ding felt a little sad, slowly striding through the gate.
