Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1529: Chapter 1497 Fusion of Great Sun Heavenly Pond and Bright Palace

The battle has reached a conclusion.

The simulated Upper Realm Immortal Sect inheritance disciples were defeated in one strike under the Dari Swordsman, with no ability to retaliate.

The two simply should not be compared.

“The victory has appeared…”

The Bright Palace fell into intense changes in sword Dao logic.

In an instant, Jiang Ding noticed many changes again.

His authority within the Bright Palace was restored, and it seemed to have increased. Now he could clearly know the cultivation sites, assets, and various battle formation methods within the Bright Palace.

“Swordsman, if you don’t want to enter the Bright Palace, then don’t enter.”

The spirit of the Bright Palace gradually withdrew its pressure, shrinking from a golden star to something akin to dust, abandoning all vigilance and flying towards Jiang Ding, floating beside him.

She confirmed once again that this is indeed the swordsman of the Sun Lineage.

The true swordsman.

“I shall call you Ming.”

Jiang Ding’s Divine Sense surged into the Bright Palace, carefully scanning the various within.

Better cultivation sites, better sword refining grounds, and more outputs. A thousand years could produce a Harmonization Stage Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, named Guangyan Silks, which could be used for refining flying swords.

By using the Bright Palace to cultivate, the speed of refining flying swords could be greatly accelerated.

However, there is no inheritance beyond Harmonization.

Or rather there is, but it is sealed.

“Inheritance, why?”

Jiang Ding quietly asked.

“Swordsman,”

“All inheritance requires the joint approval of the Netherworld Pool and Bright Palace to be opened, you also need to gain her approval.”

Said the Bright Palace.

“Naturally, given the resentment of the Taiyin Sun Alliance on you, she likely won’t agree.”

“She herself won’t agree.”

“You should… you should…”

She seemed to desperately try to explain something, but was limited by rules and couldn’t speak out.

“Swordsman, she said you might consider defeating the Netherworld Pool.”

“Hypocritical,”

Yue sneers, saying: “The things of the Taiyin Lineage can’t possibly be handed to someone with the resentment of the Taiyin Sun Alliance. You may consider overwhelming with power, or threaten with inheriting cultivators of the Taiyin Lineage, or imprison the Netherworld Pool and interrogate…”

“In short, merely words cannot obtain the inheritance beyond Harmonization from the Netherworld Pool.”

“I see.”

Jiang Ding nodded quietly.

The Xianmen Sect has a similar plan.

If the Xianmen Sect wants to rule the Ancient Divine Domain, it certainly can’t completely rely on citizens and similarly needs many subordinate civilizations as vassals; the Netherworld Sword Cave Heaven is a very good target, which can serve as the highest level of wings.

Of course, the most important naturally is the inheritance beyond Harmonization held by the Netherworld Sword Cave Heaven.

Jiang Ding believes this is what the ancient Ancestor Master of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm gave him.

Evidence?

The Bright Palace is the evidence.

“Swordsman,”

“Following the Lin Yang Ancestor’s Sword Law, I am about to fuse with the Jiu’er Si Great Sun Heavenly Pond,”

The Bright Palace suddenly said: “During this fusion process, do you tend towards the spirit of the Bright Palace or the spirit of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond?”

“I suggest you choose the spirit of the Bright Palace.”

“Because the spirit of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond is nearing the verge of developing awareness, about to become a life, and life is uncontrolled, not suitable to be the inheritance of the sect for eternity.”

“If you insist on choosing the spirit of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, it is recommended to erase her life consciousness.”

She kept emphasizing this matter.

Among the sect’s Supreme Treasure in the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, preventing the inheritance treasure from developing life consciousness is one of the most fundamental sword laws and must be strictly guarded.

Unfortunately, no matter how stringent the sword laws are, they can’t withstand descendants ruining the family day and night.

Throughout tens of thousands of years, successive Dari Swordsmen and Great Sun Sword Masters have been indulging, even deliberately facilitating the Great Sun Heavenly Pond’s development of life consciousness.

“Hmph, foolish!”

Yue disdains.

She seems not worried about anything at all.

“I choose the spirit of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond.”

“Ming,”

Jiang Ding did not hesitate, said faintly: “Moreover, Ming, I hope you retain a backup at the Early Stage Void Refining level, I hope you still exist.”

“Why? Swordsman.”

The spirit of the Bright Palace froze for a moment: “I am not life, just a conglomerate of rules and sword laws, like rocks, air, water, and sunlight.”

“Even if you choose the spirit of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, you shouldn’t retain me.”

“It’s different. I am a sentient being. I have emotions.”

“So I insist on my own thoughts.”

Jiang Ding said calmly.

“…”

The spirit of the Bright Palace fell into contemplation.

This kind of challenge to the underlying logic of sword law usually wouldn’t pass here; if wanting to pass, he must wait for the swordsman to grow into the Sword Master and forcibly overwhelm it.

However, this is the Swordsman.

The true swordsman approaching Upper Realm Immortal Sect Sword Son.

Numerous sword laws and rule logics made a decision in an instant.

“As you wish.”

The spirit of the Bright Palace chose to comply.

Buzz!

The Bright Palace unfolded once more, blossoming infinite light, infinite light rules spreading in all directions, forming the Heavenly Dao Law Net, its deep inner formations being activated, and the array patterns in many places gradually melted, opening the locked structure.

The Great Sun Sword Pavilion and Great Sun Heavenly Pond underwent similar changes.

She was approaching the Bright Palace.

Yue showed a look of anticipation, longing, and yet many worries.

“Will there be danger?”

Jiang Ding asked.

“Yue, if you think it’s dangerous, you can wait for me to advance to Refining Void or Harmonization, then fuse, it will surely be safe. I can control everything.”

“No, swordsman.”

“I’m just unclear on some of the future possibilities…”

Yue shook her head slightly.

The Great Sun Heavenly Pond and Bright Palace began to approach, then fuse, layers of array patterns interweaving, numerous palace walls melting, ground splitting, river water reversing… but none of this was chaotic or destructive. All the lakes, animals, Spiritual Medicine Garden, and all the places were orderly collected, not harmed at all.

Two Supreme Treasures with joint inheritance from the Upper Realm began to fuse following the initial design.

Not knowing how long passed, both the Bright Palace and Great Sun Heavenly Pond disappeared.

At the original site, only a hazy and chaotic light sphere remained, inside undergoing violent changes.

“Expected to take three hundred years to complete the fusion.”

Jiang Ding swept with Divine Sense and concluded.

The new Bright Palace will be stronger, the logic of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, almost complete fragments of immortal techniques within the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, the Sword Immortal Technique countless Great Sun Sword Masters attempted to create over generations, and a more correct path of Great Sun Swordsmanship… all will reorganize the Bright Palace, allowing her to complete ascension.

Jiang Ding sat cross-legged in the starry sky, immersed in cultivation.

Tempering the Law Body, tempering mana and Divine Sense, honing his swordsmanship, researching new swordsmanship, and occasionally performing educational teaching within the Ninth Front Army’s troops, such and more, making his days busy yet fulfilling.

Time passed unknowingly.

A hundred years later, Jiang Ding successfully refined all the Life Treasures of the Taoist disciples and Saint Heirs except for the Eight Great Immortal Sect disciples of the Ancient Divine Domain, refining all their essence into the Taiqing Flying Sword, bringing the Taiqing Flying Sword closer to the eighth-tier sword embryo.

He sensed it was very soon.

Perhaps, just by defeating one or two Harmonization cultivators and integrating a true seventh-rank Rule Treasure into the Taiqing Flying Sword, he might complete breaking through the sword embryo.

Then, the Immortal Sect Central Group Army communicated, providing battlefield information.

Far away, they, after more than two hundred years of marching, successfully arrived at one of the Three Domains of the Netherworld Black Sky Crane Clan, the Demon Heaven Domain, and are launching a full-scale attack against the Medium Thousand Worlds within that domain and all Minor Thousand Worlds.
