Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1698: Chapter 1666: The Deep Despair of Countless Near Immortal Beings

”The second rule refinement Nirvana, succeeded.”

”I have taken another step forward, drawing closer to a Heavenly Man...”

Jiang Ding slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he even felt a violent killing intent arise, wanting to challenge a battle-ready Heavenly Man to a duel to the death, although the chances of victory were slim.

One could only say that even in front of a Heavenly Person Cultivator, he was not an ant.

Even if he failed, it would be after a long battle, and there would be no crushing defeat.

Of course, this was a normal Heavenly Person Cultivator.

If it were someone like a Yangtian Human Bone, the danger would be extreme, and the chance of escape would be slim.

”The second rule refinement is complete.”

”What about the third?”

Jiang Ding silently contemplated his current self.

The powerful Law Body, powerful Divine Soul, and further understanding of the rules made his strength grow tremendously, and his learning, research, and production capabilities surged, which was an all-around enhancement.

The limit for Upper Realm Immortal Sect Disciples, the limit of the Void Refinement Realm, is three rule refinements.

This increased advantage laid a solid foundation for the future inevitability of becoming Near Immortal.

”The third rule refinement,”

”is just so.”

Jiang Ding sighed.

The path grows clearer as it is trodden.

The rules become more coherent as they are studied.

He once thought that the third rule refinement would be exceedingly difficult, needing opportunities, tens of thousands of years, and fierce battles with strong enemies just to advance further.

However, truly reaching this step.

He suddenly discovered,

the third rule refinement Nirvana was just so.

So clear and simple, laid out so plainly before him, within arm’s reach, without any difficulty.

”With a rough assessment, the success rate of the third rule refinement Nirvana is ninety-three percent.”

”I am absolutely confident in completing all deductions within two thousand years, without needing any opportunities or luck, just following the routine is enough.”

”This clearly demonstrates my supreme talent.”

”I foresee that even among the endless Domain Starry Sky, among the endless races and endless living beings and endless Refining Void Heavenly Prides, I am at least within the top hundred thousand; no one can overshadow my brilliance.”

Jiang Ding let out a low sigh.

These words, though clearly full of lofty ambition to dominate the world, spoke through him, carried an inescapable poignancy and melancholic air.

Even a subtle yet poignant sadness was evident.

”Swordsman,”

”why is this?”

Yue asked curiously.

”Yue,”

”at this moment, I see one thing very clearly.”

Jiang Ding said with a hint of melancholy, ”I will never truly approach the True Immortal. I have already seen my limits. After the third rule refinement, I will be much stronger than now, but that is my limit.”

”My limit is just this, an ant under a True Immortal’s sword.”

”In the past, before I reached my limit, I could claim limitless potential; even a True Immortal has only taken a step further, nothing to fear.”

”However, at this moment, I see my limits.”

”In front of a True Immortal, I might not even be able to draw my sword.”

”That gap, like a heavenly chasm, meeting means death, and even escape is a delusion.”

”I may become a strong person above the Heavenly Beings, ruling over the Great Thousand World.”

”But I will never have the qualification to challenge a True Immortal.”

”Such an endless and monotonous life fills me with despair. My future should be limitless, it truly shouldn’t be like this.”

”It really shouldn’t be, like this.”

Thick regret, thick sadness pervades this place of endless brilliance, revealing the sovereign emotions in the Great Sun Swordsmanship, affecting the entire world.

”Do you say,”

”the limit above the Heavenly Beings, the absolute limit that can never be surpassed...”

Yue was silent.

She didn’t know how to answer this question; no Dari Swordsman throughout history had encountered this issue.

However, she knew.

This should be the reality, the destiny of the future.

The road that countless elites have failed to transcend in millions of years of the Great Yin Yang Sword Realm, where each generation of Upper Realm Immortal Sect and the quasi-immortal clan has flourished and perished, reincarnated generation after generation, has never been surpassed, nor even reached the realm of True Immortal, is not without reason.

One must know, even for True Immortals, there is only some hope of becoming Immortal!

From a rational point of view, from any Heavenly Mechanism Inference, big data deduces, the hope of becoming Immortal for the beings of the Ancient God World Cluster is infinitely close to zero, even for the strongest Great Sun Sword Masters of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion throughout history, the probability of becoming Immortal is infinitely close to zero.

The deeper one walks on the Immortal Path, the more they understand.

When mortals cultivate Qi, cultivators often shout ’against the heavens’ or ’the immortal path’, full of bravado.

But truly getting close, Heavenly Men, and even Near Immortals will understand how hopeless it is.

Generations of the top Heavenly Pride and Supreme of the Great Thousand World, it’s been countless billions of years, yet no being has ever touched this realm of longevity.

This current Great Sun Sword Master, too, has touched such despair.

...

So many worries, so much despair, lie deep in the hearts of ancient cultivators.

This is the despair of the Great Dao, not something that any words of comfort can resolve, speaking of it only adds worry to fellow Daoists, with no practical significance.

For eons, in the endless Domain Starry Sky, it’s the shared despair of generations of Near Immortals.

Each and every one, can only adapt.

Jiang Ding gathered all his emotions, walked out of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, and strolled through the Solar System of the Xianmen Sect, watching planets rotate under the influence of the Heaven-Covering Banyan.

Finally, he arrived at Yuan’s office.

”Oh?”

”Jiang Ding, a rare visitor.”

Yuan awoke from his cultivation, speaking with surprise.

In the past, the Great Sun Sword Master always appeared to be in a rush, doing everything with the highest efficiency, even communicating through the Xianmen network for any matter.

Now, seeing him come in person is extremely rare.

This meant he spent a few minutes of cultivation time away, minutes that could have been used to consolidate the foundations of the Immortal Path, adding a subtle depth to it.

Yuan keenly sensed a certain change in the Great Sun Sword Master, but couldn’t pinpoint it.

”Senior,”

”How is the progress of the Central Array Spirit’s eighth-level computation project?”

Jiang Ding sighed inwardly and asked.

”Everything is on track.”

”It’s expected to be completed in about ten thousand years.”

Yuan replied.

Millennia, for this Heavenly Human level project, was just the beginning.

”Five thousand years then.”

”In the future, I will have much free time, five thousand years is enough.”

Jiang Ding showed a slight smile and said, ”My current Divine Soul Computational Power has strengthened greatly, my understanding of the rules has deepened, I should be able to complete this project in this time.”

”The Ancient God Ancestor Master can no longer destroy the Xianmen Sect.”

He stated a fact blandly.

”Is that so?”

”That is truly wonderful.”

Yuan’s heart tightened, but he smiled.
