Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1490: Chapter 1458: Primordial Magnet Daoist Body of Xianmen Sect

In the Tianyuan Domain.

Jiang Ding was transferring the authority of the Ninth Starry Sky Army, distributing it to several Sun Destroying True Venerables, and convening a meeting of all generals of the Ninth Front Army to announce this matter.

The three Sun Destroying True Venerables temporarily lacked the ability to command the seventh-rank Harmonization level army formations.

Thus, after Jiang Ding’s departure, the Ninth Starry Sky Army would lose the ability to conduct Harmonization level field operations, being able only to defend the Tianyuan Domain Boundary Channel, relying on fixed formations and rail cannons to maintain the presence of Harmonization level army formations, assisting Wanji True Venerable’s Second Star Domain Army in the defense of the Tianyuan Domain.

After completing all these tasks, Jiang Ding turned and left, flying toward the direction of the Far Immortal Sect First Front Army Central Group Army.

At the same time, he left a clone to slowly walk toward the Heavenly Magnetic Monarch of the Ninth Starry Sky Army.

The Commander of the Nineteenth Army Group has recently experienced a significant decline in thoughts and morals, even nearing the pass line, far inferior to the elites among the Immortal Sect Ascension Immigrants.

Jiang Ding, as the main officer of the Ninth Front Army, closely monitored this situation.

…

On the flagship of the Nineteenth Army Group, the Heavenly Magnet Starry Sky Fortress.

This was a starry sky fortress covered in primordial magnetic runes, having reached a profound level of understanding in the path of primordial magnetism, on the verge of birthing primordial magnetic order.

This time, Jiang Ding’s arrival did not attract anyone’s attention, coming just like a friend.

In the fortress cafeteria, he ordered a cup of tea, sitting opposite a calm and stern middle-aged cultivator, while soldiers and officers of the Nineteenth Army Group came and went around them, dining.

“Heavenly Magnetic General.”

“I bring an order from the Ninth Front Army Military Committee this time,”

Jiang Ding took out a document, handed it to Heavenly Magnetic Monarch, and said calmly: “This order has been approved by the committee, and takes effect immediately. You may take a look.”

“Senior…”

Heavenly Magnetic Monarch showed a bitter look, difficulty accepting this document.

Before him was a green-clothed youth of about fifteen or sixteen, whose face was even a bit tender; yet in front of him, despite being several thousand years old, he felt like a babbling toddler.

When this senior shone brilliantly in the domain, establishing the foundation of Immortal Sect Domain Overlord’s career in the Nine Spirits Realm battlefield and Horned Ming Realm battlefield, neither he nor his grandfather had been born.

Heavenly Magnetic Monarch felt deeply troubled, opening the document.

‘Heavenly Magnetic Monarch, Commander of the Nineteenth Army Group of the Immortal Sect Ninth Starry Sky Army, has significant Dao Heart fluctuations and is no longer suitable to serve as the commander of the Nineteenth Army Group. Specifically appointed as the Commander of the 287th Army Group, please report for duty within three days of receiving the order.’

——Immortal Sect Ninth Starry Sky Army Military Committee.’

The document contained signatures from committee members such as Great Sun Celestial Lord, Sun Destroying True Venerable, Sun Reversing True Venerable, and the audit mark of the Ninth Starry Sky Army Legion Array Spirit, clearly a collective decision, and procedurally a flawless military order.

The only way for such an order to be rescinded is to appeal to a higher-level military committee, namely the Immortal Sect Military Committee, and it must be approved before it can be rescinded.

Such occurrences are extremely rare.

Unless involving treason or serious procedural violation, the Immortal Sect Military Committee typically respects the orders of lower-ranking front army military committees, without overstepping jurisdiction.

“Yes, senior!”

“Heavenly Magnet, obey the order!”

Heavenly Magnetic Monarch stood up and saluted.

In the Immortal Sect Front Army, the size of the Starry Sky Fleet’s numbering directly represents the difficulty of controlling its army formations and their importance; the smaller the army group number, the more formation control it must undertake, and the more formation core nodes it involves.

If such core node group fleets make errors, it would often cause great damage to the Immortal Sect army formation.

Being reassigned from the Nineteenth Army Group to the Commander of the 287th Army Group implies that the Immortal Sect no longer trusts him to continue performing the duties of a core Starry Sky Fleet Commander, seeing it as a potential risk.

——This risk does not arise from capability.

“Heavenly Magnet, do you understand the reason for this order?”

Jiang Ding asked calmly.

“… I understand…”

Heavenly Magnetic Monarch struggled and said: “In the evaluation of the Central Array Spirit Computer, my thoughts and morals score is close to the pass mark, politically no longer trustworthy enough to continue fulfilling core military positions.”

“What caused such fluctuation in your thoughts and morals?”

“The cause?”

Heavenly Magnetic Monarch showed a pained expression, closed his eyes, and after a long time said: “Perhaps it’s because of unwillingness.”

“Immortal Sect Dao Body Cultivators have been cultivated from an early age, possessing magic tool embryos refined from Inheritance Divine Gold. The entire sect provides infinite resources, laying a profound foundation at birth, ensuring future Refining Nothingness mastery, inevitable Harmonization, and even some possibility beyond Harmonization.”

“While as a fellow Dao Body, I was born with nothing!”

“No magic tool embryo, no Protector; apart from the benefits all citizens get, all resources I must compete for using my talent and academic performance. But even if my performance leads each year in elementary school, middle school, and college, the resources I receive do not even compare to one-ten-thousandth of those given to Immortal Sect disciples.”

“That’s where my resentment lies, Great Sun Senior.”

“Such a mediocre and foolish mundane person am I, Great Sun Senior, unable to control my chaotic thoughts.”

Heavenly Magnetic Monarch mocked himself with a smile.

He straightforwardly admitted it, and showed no fear of the infamous Great Sun Swordsman before him, for he was a legitimate citizen of the Immortal Sect, and also because he thought that he hadn’t done anything illegal yet, feeling grounds for confidence.

“Do you think this is unfair to Dao Body Cultivators?”

Jiang Ding asked.

“No,”

“Although I thought it, in reality, it isn’t unfair.”

Heavenly Magnetic Monarch sighed: “The Immortal Sect belongs to its citizens, even though treasury’s Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure are piled high, why give them to one person? Just because of good talent?”

“Your talent is good, but it’s nothing to other citizens!”

“Why use citizens’ property to foster a person with no merit?”

“Everything requires battle merits, requiring achievements to exchange for them, which are the cornerstone for Immortal Sect Citizens, clearly something a mere Dao Body Cultivator cannot overturn.”

Heavenly Magnetic Monarch said sadly.

Everyone understands the reasoning.

Whether one truly achieves it, sincerely agrees, is another matter altogether.

“Dao Body Cultivator…”

Jiang Ding murmured this name, which Heavenly Magnetic Monarch harbored pride and regarded as honorable, and asked: “Do you know how many Dao Body Cultivators exist between domains?”

“Without speaking of others, within Immortal Sect territory, there are three Dao Body Cultivators, across hundreds of Minor Thousand Worlds and two Medium Thousand Worlds with countless populations; in five thousand years, only this few Dao Body Cultivators emerged.”

“Among them, there’s Huo Baosan, you, and another Outer Realm Cultivator from the conscripted army corps.”

“This Outer Realm Cultivator from the conscripted army corps can never ascend to Refining Nothingness because his thoughts and morals are only slightly better than yours, not reaching excellent, achievements and research creativity likewise lacking, unable to become an Immortal Sect Citizen, unable to inherit the wisdom left by countless Immortal Sect sages.”

“This is the legacy accumulated by countless sacrifices and battles of Immortal Sect sages, never to be given to others without cause, besides descendants of their children.”

“…”

Heavenly Magnetic Monarch bowed his head, silent.
