Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1554: Chapter 1522: Taiqing Flying Sword on the Verge of a Breakthrough

Decades have passed.

Jiang Ding opened his eyes, divine light radiating from them, as the Great Sun’s destructive brilliance flashed and disappeared.

He has already recovered to his peak state, with perfect mana within, at the peak of the Early Refining Void Stage, expected to break through to the mid-stage in a hundred years.

“In a hundred years, I can set out on a campaign.”

“The Ancient Divine Realm is a great place, where I can meet many interesting beings…”

Jiang Ding murmured.

He reached out with a gesture, and a pair of Ice Crystal Dream Butterfly Wings fell into his hand. Divine Sense and Sword Intent surged into them, carefully scanning, examining, and quickly confirming the smelting method.

It wasn’t difficult to accomplish.

Because these Ice Crystal Dream Butterfly Wings are, like Jiang Ding, materials of the Early Refining Void Stage level, but with the potential of a Quasi Ninth-Order, possessing a high stature, with a future bound to be exceptionally glorious, yet currently still very weak.

“After smelting these Ice Crystal Dream Butterfly Wings, the Taiqing Flying Sword will surely become an eighth-order sword embryo, and a top-grade one at that, just a sliver away from becoming a quasi ninth-order sword embryo.”

“A quasi ninth-order sword embryo can be improved by myself, through blood battles, constantly enhancing it, which is not difficult to achieve.”

Jiang Ding calculated for a moment and said.

The so-called sword embryo is merely the potential of the flying sword.

If he can achieve self-breakthrough, such as mastering stronger rules, he can similarly propel the potential of the Taiqing Flying Sword to qualitatively change into a quasi ninth-order, or even ninth-order, without having to smelt external objects.

Of course, he currently only has the confidence to elevate the Taiqing Flying Sword to a quasi ninth-order sword embryo.

As for a true ninth-order sword embryo, this is the level of the Upper Realm Immortal Sect Sword Son, crafted by near-immortal level powerhouses using the sect’s foundational resources. Even if it’s just one step away, Jiang Ding currently lacks the confidence to break through.

This is not a matter of time.

No matter how much time passes, based on his current level of knowledge of the Immortal Path, he’s already entered a dead-end, a deadlock, with no possibility of a solution using his wisdom and abilities.

“Yue.”

Jiang Ding tossed the pair of Ice Crystal Dream Butterfly Wings towards the center of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, whispering softly.

“Understood, Swordsman.”

Yue immediately responded.

Buzz!

The Harmonization Peak Level inherited supreme treasure, the formation method at the bottom of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, instantly activated, emanating threads of golden solar light in the sky that outlined countless formations, numbering in the tens of millions, approaching a billion. This grand formation’s combination formed an ultra-large composite formation.

Endless sunlight descended from the sky, bestowing the formation’s center with a destructive high temperature.

The Great Sun Heavenly Pond, sword refining array!

A supreme inherited treasure of the sect, it is more than just a name. It embodies various inheritances and functions, such as the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, which includes a seventh-order top-grade Sun Sword Refining Array and several spiritual medicine gardens and formation methods for nurturing heavenly materials and earthly treasures, enabling cultivators to grow more smoothly.

Resplendent heavenly light fell on the Ice Crystal Dream Butterfly Wings.

This was not the destructive kind of battle, but a mystical sword crafting technique, primarily using high temperatures, ensuring the material’s properties remained intact while smelting heavenly materials and earthly treasures, further enhancing their potential.

This brilliant sunlight was enough to melt Harmonization Stage materials, but fell on these Ice Crystal Dream Butterfly Wings, only making them shine brighter, unable to melt them.

Or rather, they could melt, but required more time.

“Central Array Spirit Computer,”

“Request to progressively pause high-energy consuming refining factories, requesting the Mother Star’s Seventh-Order Refining Array to support the Great Sun Heavenly Pond Formation.”

Jiang Ding spoke again.

Benefiting from the Xianmen Sect’s swallowing of more than ten domains, a vast influx of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Xianmen now truly possesses a seventh-order superior spirit vein and internally, numerous immortal industries are highly developed, capable of producing planet-level warships, constant star railguns, Harmonization Stage Taibai Netherworld Sky Patrol Arrows, and other treasures.

With such advanced industrial capabilities, the refining arrays naturally are equally robust.

At this time, Jiang Ding made such a decision, pausing the production activities of many factories, which would immediately cause huge losses, even with an orderly pause. The factories would incur significant losses when restarted in the future.

“Application approved,”

“Orderly pausing high-energy production activities in various places…”

The Central Array Spirit Computer immediately approved the request.

All losses will be covered by the Great Sun Sword Master. The wealth accumulated over the years is not just for show but for use when necessary.

The restart of the Mother Star’s Refining Array entails several years.

Jiang Ding was not in a hurry, taking out various seventh-order heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the warehouse, Soul Flame Spirit Crystal, Earth Core Meteorite Flame Iron, Solar Core Fire, Spirit-Nourishing Carbon Sky Branch… all treasures among domains, enough to make a Harmonization God Monarch envious, losing reason, bedazzled by the treasure’s radiance.

Where did these come from?

Acquired from the Xianmen expansion war.

More than ten domains, thousands of Minor Thousand Worlds, a vast influx of heavenly materials and earthly treasures poured into the Xianmen center, as one of the original shareholders, Jiang Ding naturally possesses ownership of these things.

Of course, it’s not freely given, requiring library points, battle merits, meritorious deeds, and much of his wealth to exchange for them.

The Xianmen wouldn’t give anyone spirit stones without a reason.

Does Jiang Ding lack these?

Impossible.

The Sword Dao Hall Group, factories everywhere, patents at all levels, and shares in various Xianmen companies with cross-holdings… even if he lies still, the money will multiply exponentially as Xianmen expands.

The interests of Xianmen and his fundamental interests are bound together, deeply integrated, sharing glory and losses.

This is more than just talk.

As long as Xianmen grows stronger, he won’t lack anything even if he does nothing.

Behind these vast seventh-order heavenly materials and earthly treasures are massive, mountain-like piles of sixth-order and below heavenly materials and earthly treasures, extending endlessly. These materials are among the raw materials for the current sword refining.

The current sword refining plan is personally designed by the Great Sun Sword Master, the highest authority in Sword Dao of Xianmen, and jointly discussed, revised, and finally formed by the Immortal Sect Sword Dao Science Academy, Immortal Sect Materials Science Academy, Immortal Gate Array Spirit Science Academy, and other institutions. There is a great chance of elevating the Taiqing Flying Sword to the eighth-order top-grade sword embryo.

“Go.”

Jiang Ding pointed a finger.

Numerous materials flew into the sky, falling into various parts of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond sword refining array, in the brilliant glow, they were gradually smelted and fused, their properties drastically changing towards what the Taiqing Flying Sword needed.

In this vast sky, the rules of the Great Sun Swordsmanship’s Heavenly Dao Law Net dominate every place, transforming every area into a sea of sword refining materials.

At the center, the Taiqing Flying Sword is located at the core of the sword refining array, in endless light and splendor, thread by thread, the Gold Element Qi containing rule power flies towards the center, endlessly pouring all into the Taiqing Flying Sword Sword Body, continually enhancing its foundation and elevating its essence.

In this process of sword refining, the Taiqing Flying Sword continually undergoes a qualitative transformation towards a true eighth-order sword embryo leap.
