Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1422: Chapter 1390 Everything as Usual at Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain

The Sword Soul of Jiang Ding enveloped the object in his hand, continuously scanning and evaluating, comparing it with all the Magic Arts-Breaking Immortal Gold he had previously encountered.

A table appeared before him, filled with data such as weight, hardness, toughness, and Spiritual Energy affinity. This table quickly thickened, and in the blink of an eye, it became as tall as a person, presenting a vast amount of material data.

This was a Star Domain-level humanoid super scanner scanning metallic materials!

The True Venerables and Heavenly Monarchs of the Xianmen Sect around held their breath.

They knew that within the Xianmen Sect, if anyone were to be most familiar with the Magic Arts-Breaking Immortal Gold, it would certainly be the Great Sun Celestial Lord.

This familiarity even surpassed distant realms, making him the foremost in the Xianmen Sect!

The Magic Arts-Breaking Immortal Gold composed a significant part of the Great Sun Celestial Lord’s Life Flying Sword, accompanying him day and night for over five thousand years without a moment’s separation.

It could be said that after the Divinity Transformation and the birth of the Sword Soul, he could be considered a high-energy life form closely connected to the Magic Arts-Breaking Immortal Gold, no longer clearly a carbon-based life form.

This transformation, among Sword Cultivators, seems to be called the unity of man and sword?

Wanji True Venerable internally critiqued.

“Indeed, the Magic Arts-Breaking Immortal Gold has become stronger.”

“Material indexes across all aspects have increased by 5.62%, slowly transitioning from a sixth-order top-grade material to the seventh rank, though the change is very slow… but it has indeed changed.”

Jiang Ding raised his head, forwarding his analysis report to all committee members, his gaze blazing: “Senior Wanji, according to your research, what methods are there to accelerate the qualitative change of the Magic Arts-Breaking Immortal Gold?”

“There are.”

“If the Spiritual Vein of the Mother Star elevates to the seventh order, it can be done.”

Wanji True Venerable responded without hesitation: “The Mother Star is crucial, situated at the intersection of two great universes, pertains to our retreat path, and all Magic Arts-Breaking related processing must occur on the Mother Star to have the best conditions, elsewhere, even in the Medium Thousand World, is hardly suitable due to numerous interfering factors.”

“Seventh-order Spiritual Vein of the Mother Star…”

Jiang Ding mused.

This is very difficult.

The Nine Spirit Realm in the Medium Thousand World is merely a seventh-order Spiritual Vein, born of the heavens and earth.

If one wishes to elevate the Mother Star to this degree, perhaps the Xianmen Sect must expand its sphere of influence to encompass around ten domains; otherwise, resources are utterly insufficient.

This issue can only be temporarily shelved.

However, the irreplaceable importance of the Mother Star to the Xianmen Sect, whether in the Medium Thousand World or the Great Thousand World, is beyond question.

“The second proposal.”

Yuan, hosting this academic meeting, announced: “Divine Machine True Venerable proposes that in the future, the Xianmen Sect shall allocate 5% of the annual tax revenue to the research project of ‘Golden Causality Strong Interaction Force Drop’.”

“All committee members, please vote.”

This proposal was originally Jiang Ding’s to make, but after consulting with numerous seniors, many advised him to avoid suspicion due to conflicts of interest, thus it fell to Divine Machine True Venerable.

5% of the annual tax revenue is the Xianmen Sect’s maximum capacity.

The Xianmen Sect’s research projects are manifold, with military expenses, education funding, industrial production expenses, all requiring money, each crucial, thus only squeezing out this fund to develop the sect’s own embryonic Immortal Techniques.

This is a vast, possibly tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years-long super weapon Immortal Technique project, not achievable in the short term.

“In favor.”

Jiang Ding cast his vote.

Other members of the Immortal Gate Academic Committee cast their votes individually.

“Thirty-three in favor, three against.”

“The motion passes.”

Yuan declared.

…

Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain.

Thirty years, for such an Upper Realm True Sect-level force, is very brief, no major events occurred, everything as usual, unremarkable.

On this day.

A blood light surged from afar, overwhelming the sky, the scent of blood overwhelming, its oppressive might suffocating.

Such wild Escape Light did not trigger any alarms in the grand formation of Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain. Instead, it extended blood rays to receive the figure arriving from afar.

“Disciples, pay respects to the Ancestor!”

“Welcome Ancestor back to the mountain!”

Throughout the mountain, countless cultivators knelt, their shouts echoing like tidal waves: “May the Ancestor’s longevity equal heaven, eternal life, coexist with the Dao!”

“The Blood Path is eternal, the Ancestor’s power is boundless!”

“Congratulations to the Ancestor…”

Numerous disciples shouted in unison, eyes filled with fervent reverence.

Yet the blood-robed, red-haired figure did not pause for a moment, flying straight to the summit of Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain, his figure gradually disappearing into the clouds.

In a deep crimson palace with mysterious phenomena, the Blood Lake Ancestor sat cross-legged, eyes closed, meditating.

His Divine Sense began to connect with the treasury, secret vault, and Sutra Pavilion of Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain, selecting and searching.

“So shameful!”

“Blood Lake’s vanity is truly immense.”

Jiang Ding’s Divine Sense scanned various things, remarking: “Every time he returns to the sect with such pomp, not even blushing, annoyed. If I were called like this every day, I’d feel ashamed, my toes would curl out a three-bedroom apartment from embarrassment.”

This Blood Lake Ancestor was, naturally, Jiang Ding.

After recovering from his injuries, he immediately returned to the Upper Realm, extracting Blood Lake Ancestor’s head, using a Quasi-seventh-rank Soul-searching Talisman to examine it, acquiring all of Blood Lake Ancestor’s memories, then arrived at Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain.

Disguised as a Sword Soul, his Blood Path Divine Sense Scanned in all directions, quickly learning the detailed intelligence of the surrounding environment.

“Excluding the Blood Lake Ancestor, Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain has four Refining Nothingness cultivators, three at the Early Refining Void Stage, one at the Mid-stage.”

“The mid-stage one isn’t in the sect, seems he went to refine a Treasure.”

Jiang Ding’s Divine Sense surveyed: “There are also numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators, and many Nascent Soul Golden Core cultivators… forget it, these Lower Rank Cultivators are not considered extremely sinful; they cannot alter the will of the Refining Nothingness and can only adapt to survive, far from being major offenders, they should be given room for reformation.”

“As for the remaining four Refining Nothingness, they have slaughtered billions, consumed human souls and hearts, they’ve committed all sorts of atrocities.

“The Refining Nothingness is entirely top-level vested interests, with no excuse to clear their names from Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain’s crimes. Find a chance to eliminate them all.”

“These individuals’ individual strengths are not as good as Mud Swamp True Venerable, quite disappointing.”

There is another reason.

The existence of Refining Nothingness cultivators poses a threat to his control over the entire Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain. For example, if he were to extract the entire sect’s treasury, these Refining Nothingness cultivators might oppose, or if he acts unusually, such as issuing orders to collect diverse specimens, these Refining Nothingness cultivators might grow suspicious.

In contrast, Nascent Soul Cultivators are much easier to deal with.

Just by crafting a few clones, he could completely impersonate these four Refining Nothingness cultivators; at least the Nascent Soul Cultivators would absolutely not discover the deception, and the order of Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain would remain intact, not attracting the attention of the Immortal Artifact Sect.

“Let it be for now.”

Jiang Ding thought indifferently: “My current power is weak, unable to sweep the Upper Realm clean; I can only grow within the old order until that day when I have the capability.”

“When I am invincible in the Upper Realm, I will certainly bring well-being and tranquility to all beings.”
