Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1413: Chapter 1381 “Sun Sacrifice Sword Technique: Millennium Material Acquired

Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect.

This is a sect established atop a Thunder Peak, where dark clouds linger year-round, with frequent flashes of lightning and thunder. It contains sixth-grade high-grade Spiritual Veins, making it extremely suitable for cultivators practicing thunder techniques.

Today, with the arrival of the Immortal Artifact Sect envoy, the gloomy and anxious atmosphere that had gripped the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect throughout the near-millennium-long war was swept away. The whole sect was adorned with lanterns and festoons, brimming with joy and celebration.

The Immortal Sect envoy chose the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect to host a banquet, inviting True Venerates from all directions, an unprecedented event!

This signifies the absolute support of the Immortal Artifact Sect envoy for the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect.

Even if the Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain is stronger by a notch, so what? Would they dare challenge the might of the Immortal Sects?

In the hearts of many disciples of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect, the war that had spanned thousands of years and claimed countless disciples would soon end, and they would no longer have to face the prospect of imminent death.

The entire Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect was suffused with a celebratory atmosphere.

At the top of Thunder Peak, within the most solemn Thunder Palace, the Immortal Artifact Sect envoy, Cai Shan Venerable, sat in the main seat. The Refining Nothingness practitioners from Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain and many from the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect paid their respects and then sat upright, not daring to show any disrespect in front of the Immortal Sect envoy.

“Fellow Daoist Blood Lake, the current battle must stop.”

“No more conflicts are allowed.”

With a deep voice, Cai Shan Venerable said, “For the next eight hundred years, the Thunder Flame Domain must maintain the current situation. The sect does not wish to see a unified domain. This is the bottom line!”

“Otherwise, at the Hundred Realms Mountain, the Demon Race is stirring, and we need Refining Nothingness cultivators to go to the front to make meritorious service…”

He stared coldly at Blood Lake True Venerable.

Eight hundred years is the term for which Cai Shan Venerable serves as the Tribute Envoy for the Immortal Artifact Sect.

Maintaining balance and stability among the various forces under his jurisdiction, ensuring that everything remains under the control of the Immortal Artifact Sect, is his most core duty.

“The Immortal Envoy commands, and naturally Blood Lake will comply.”

Blood Lake True Venerable was an old man in a blood robe with red hair, his long hair scattered messily over his head, respectfully paying his respects.

“It’s best so.”

Cai Shan Venerable snorted coldly.

If it weren’t for being constrained within the sect, he could now summon the True Sect Daoist soldiers from the surrounding domains, using the Immortal Artifact Sect’s army formation array diagram to encircle and kill this person, then cleanse Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain top to bottom, eliminating any factors that threaten the stability of the Thunder Flame Domain.

“Fellow Daoist Wanlei, please refrain from provoking… in the future,”

Cai Shan Venerable commanded.

He had no interest in who was right or wrong between the two major True Sects, nor did he wish to know the complicated cause and effect involved.

Stability!

A stable Thunder Flame Domain, that is all he wants.

“Yes, Immortal Envoy!”

Wanlei True Venerable said bitterly.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect also had connections and foundations within the Immortal Artifact Sect. He knew the reason why the Tribute Envoy was so restrained and soft; the Blood Puppet Elder Faction had attached themselves to an inheritance disciple from this generation of the sect, greatly increasing their power, and openly challenging the rules of the Immortal Sect, yet not facing any punishment.

This was something the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect could not compare to.

“Fellow Daoists, the great cause of the sect is difficult, we must bear with each other for the sake of the sect…”

The gesture of submission by both major True Sects softened Wanlei True Venerable’s expression. His tone became gentler, less cold, allowing the nearby Refining Void True Venerates to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, many Refining Void True Venerates’ expressions shifted slightly, looking towards the entrance of Thunder Temple.

There, an old man with gray-green hair, with a green toad on his shoulder, slowly walked into the hall, bowed to the Immortal Artifact Sect’s Tribute Envoy, and then found a seat to sit down.

His aura was between the God-Transformation Phase and the Refining Void Stage, likely a mere avatar.

Cai Shan Venerable’s face was as still as water.

“How dare you!”

“Mud Swamp, you are merely a rustic cultivator, yet when facing the Immortal Sect’s Tribute Envoy, you dare not present your true self, such disrespect, how bold of you!”

A Refining Void early-stage practitioner from the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect fumed with anger, shouting.

Mud Swamp Demon City had always been a thorn in the side of the two major True Sects, with much enmity between them. For instance, this Refining Void True Venerable, who had advanced for two thousand years, had seen fellow senior brothers die at the hands of Mud Swamp True Venerable during the Divinity Transformation stage, barely escaping with his life.

“Who are you? Turns out it’s that little cultivator from back then.”

Mud Swamp Jiang Ding glanced at him, sneering, “Back then you came to my Mud Swamp Demon City to steal, taking a Refining Nothingness herb born in my Mud Swamp, barely escaped. Now you dare appear before me.”

“If you’re not convinced, come to my Mud Swamp Demon City. I will bind my hands and feet and fight you.”

“You…”

The Refining Void practitioner from the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect was furious, but did not dare to respond.

Mud Swamp True Venerable is an old brand Refining Void, and also possesses a Refining Void stage spiritual pet. Together, their strength is not weak among the mid-stage Refining Void practitioners, and he dared not challenge him.

“Shall this old man battle you instead, Mud Swamp?”

The Ancestor of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect, Wanlei True Venerable, exuded his might, speaking slowly.

“It’s unnecessary.”

“This old man has never been fond of fighting.”

Mud Swamp True Venerable spoke lazily, seemingly indifferent.

If true experts from the two True Sects were to arrive, he had always escaped without fear.

“But you, Wanlei, do you really dare to leave the Sect Array?”

“Aren’t you afraid of encountering that old blood lake thing midway?”

Mud Swamp True Venerable mocked.

“Sharp-tongued.”

Wanlei True Venerable shook his head and said nothing more.

“Immortal envoy, please forgive us.”

“The two True Sects have indeed pushed us too far; I dare not come in my true form and ask your forgiveness…”

Mud Swamp True Venerable adopted a different attitude towards the Immortal Sect Envoy, smiling apologetically.

Such humility seemed not to face peers but resembled an attitude before an elder, extremely low, truly flexible.

“It’s no problem.”

“Fellow Daoist protects this place’s peace, which is commendable.”

Cai Shan Venerable spoke with neither joy nor anger, calmly.

“I beg your pardon…”

Mud Swamp True Venerable smiled apologetically again, becoming even more humble, offering the millennial tribute respectfully, not daring to overstep under the Immortal Sect’s majesty.

The discussion meeting was essentially a process of the Immortal Artifact Sect once again declaring its majesty; no Refining Nothingness Cultivator dared to be firm in this occasion.

…

After paying the Immortal Sect tribute, Mud Swamp True Venerable restrained his humble smile and came to the side hall.

“Greetings, Mud Swamp Daoist!”

“Your presence truly graces us…”

Here, the manager of Heavenly Work Tower, Duofu True Venerable, adopted a different attitude, incredibly enthusiastic, welcoming from afar, guiding the way, each gesture making one feel pleasant.

“Daoist Duofu, you are truly admirable.”

“My apologies.”

Mud Swamp True Venerable bowed respectfully, sighing, “Your cultivation, strength, background, and future far surpass mine; I am truly ashamed.”

“Not at all!”

“I merely have a better background, nothing extraordinary; Daoist Mud Swamp, rising as a hero from humble beginnings, is the true hero…”

Duofu True Venerable repeatedly expressed humility.

After some polite exchanges, Duofu True Venerable ordered someone to produce a storage bag, opening it to reveal a variety of Sixth-Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures pre-ordered by Mud Swamp True Venerable, totaling 301 Refining Void Stage Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures, including Yang attribute, fire attribute, life rule attribute, and space rule attribute, all rare glimpses in the Thunder Flame Domain.

The price, naturally, was as such.

“Fellow Daoist, do you find any discrepancies?”

Duofu True Venerable inquired.

“No errors; Heavenly Work Tower’s credibility is naturally trustworthy to me.”

Jiang Ding carefully inspected for a long time, then smiled.

These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were naturally Sword Refining materials he ordered, disguised among them were many items relating to life and space rules to obscure his intentions.

These extra materials naturally would not be wasted as the Xianmen market could absorb them.

“Here is the agreed price; please, Daoist Duofu, verify it.”

Jiang Dingping calmly handed over another storage bag.

This contained over 600 Refining Void Stage Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures, as well as more than 70 million top-grade Spirit Stones, coming from a Xianmen loan, backed by Jiang Ding’s own credit, somewhat exceeding the realm of Mud Swamp True Venerable’s identity.

This quantity, according to his calculations, should not cause Heavenly Work Tower to breach its reputation on the spot, remaining within a safe range.

Any more, however, seemed not feasible.

“It seems that Daoist has recently encountered quite the opportunity.”

“Congratulations to you, Daoist.”

Duofu True Venerable verified and smiled, earnestly saying, “These Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures transacted to you should not be used to violate the regulations, Daoist understands?”

“Naturally.”

Mud Swamp True Venerable nodded.

He stored these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and left without any hesitation.

At the time when all Refining Void practitioners in the Thunder Flame Domain were paying homage to the Immortal Sect’s envoy, the outside world actually became the safest place; an opportunity not to be missed, no need to linger on anything.
