Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1749: Chapter 1717: A Countryman’s Helplessness

”Four-step Nirvana...”

Jiang Ding already knew the answer in his heart.

In the thirty million years of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm’s history, no life form has ever set foot on the fourth step of Nirvana. This is not just a mediocrity of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm but a fact in the entire history of Immortal Sects and quasi-immortal clans.

Such a life form, once it appears and grows to Supreme, will surely unify the Great Thousand World!

”Such accumulation is really not enough.”

”Immortal Device Child, far from enough.”

Jiang Ding looked at his own hands and murmured, ”To slaughter all the Taoist disciples and Saint Heirs of the entire Great Thousand World, even to launch an attack on another Great Thousand World, claiming victory in sword fights amidst the blood and corpses of hundreds of Taoist disciples—only then can I surely step into the fourth stage of Nirvana, without any accidents.”

”If I am like this, then in the Endless Universe Starry Sky, I will no longer be a nobody.”

”I, in this way, am the existence approaching True Immortal.”

Pinning hope on the emergence of life forms transcending the limits of the Three Steps of Nirvana in a Great Thousand World can only rely on miracles, extremely improbable chances.

Current facts prove that such a miracle has not appeared.

At the Refining Nothingness stage, perhaps I have to accept such mediocrity.

Jiang Ding stood up.

He glanced at the war trophies of the three Immortal Device Children in the distance and flew in the direction of the Solar System where the Xianmen Sect is located. An invisible light beam streaked across the Cosmic Starry Sky, approaching the Mother Star at the speed of light.

Heavenly Human level life forms are already capable of light-speed travel.

As for the war trophies of the Immortal Device Child, they cannot be moved now. As a Taoist disciple of the Immortal Artifact Sect, there might be Immortal Sect level dangers present. All can wait until the Soulless Universe wears them out completely.

The vastness of this universe is endless.

Here, it is extremely distant from the Mother Star, even Jiang Ding needs to return to the Mother Star through natural space-time wormholes after specifically applying for this passage.

Such a remote distance, even if the supreme techniques of the Immortal Device Child were to erupt, it would only be a temporary menace and could hardly cover anything.

The higher the energy, the stronger the Spirit Scattering effect it suffers in this Soulless Universe.

After many twists and turns, a long time passed before Jiang Ding finally returned to the Solar System, once again returning to his homeland.

On the edge of the Solar System, Jiang Ding paused slightly.

In just a few thousand years, the Solar System has undergone very significant changes.

A transparent protective shield, occasionally displaying multicolored hues, enveloped the entire Solar System, covering the Sun and the eight major planets, plus Pluto, with the nine celestial bodies moving inside the transparent shield, never ceasing.

Within the shield, the Divine Tree Sky Covering Rong bloomed with brilliance. Banyan steps reached up to the sky, connecting the Mother Star with many planets and the Sun. Leaf-like spirit energy light dots, akin to elf balls, intermittently formed on the banyan leaves, dispersing throughout the Solar System, subtly enhancing the spiritual energy concentration of the Solar System.

In the canopy of the Divine Tree Sky Covering Rong, dreamscapes appeared successively.

Some scenes depicted the Youming Sword Cave Heaven Territory, some the Horned Ming Realm’s scenes, some the Black Sky Domain’s scenes. Citizens strolled, studied, cultivated, or practiced swords, conducted research, the distant Domain Starry Sky seemingly only a step away, facilitating extremely convenient engagement among the entire World Community.

The vast World Community seemed to have transformed into a small village.

Unknowingly, it had been five thousand years since he last saw the Mother Star.

These five thousand years marked the Xianmen Sect’s growth into a Heavenly Human level power. Technological iterations have been extremely rapid, and with the help of the Eighth Tier Central Array Spirit Computer, Immortal Dao Science experienced explosive growth, with dramatic, day-to-day changes.

In just five thousand years, Jiang Ding almost couldn’t recognize his hometown.

Driven by Sword Dao instincts, Jiang Ding evaluated it somewhat, realizing that attempting to attack this Heavenly Human level civilization would inevitably lead to swift defeat, though retreat had more than a fifty percent success rate.

This civilization isn’t weak among Heavenly Human powerhouses and is rapidly multiplying and strengthening, an expertise of this Immortal Tao Industrial civilization.

”Not bad.”

Jiang Ding was satisfied.

He stepped onto the Mother Star.

”Welcome, Great Sun Participating.”

”You have been away for five thousand seven hundred eighty-seven years, three months, twenty-seven days, two hours, fifty-four minutes, and one second. Welcome back. The following events occurred during your absence in the Xianmen Sect: Firstly, the seven hundred ninety-fourth civic assembly of the Xianmen Sect was convened, with resolutions including...”

The voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer sounded, relaying copious data.

Over the years, Jiang Ding’s clone within the Xianmen Sect dealt with various matters and attended numerous meetings, yet the Central Array Spirit Computer acknowledged the primary entity only, as only the primary entity held civic rights.

Jiang Ding’s divine soul swiftly perused this information.

It was somewhat laborious, especially with a few major Heavenly Human tier scientific achievements that couldn’t be instantly absorbed. However, since they were conclusions of projects he participated in, understanding them was fairly straightforward.

It would probably take a few years to fully assimilate the civilization’s achievements of the Xianmen Sect over the past five thousand years, adding further depth.

”Ding!”

”Great Sun Participating, the Xianmen Sect Executive Yuan wishes to meet you. Do you agree?”

The voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer rang out.

The Great Sun Sword Master is an extremely high-risk figure, a galactic-level moving disaster. The Central Array Spirit Computer must inform the Xianmen Sect Executive of the Great Sun Sword Master’s position, unable to ensure complete privacy as it would for an ordinary citizen, akin to a super fleet entering the Solar System.

”I agree.”

In the next moment, the light of spatial transmission shimmered, and Yuan appeared in front of Jiang Ding.

Five thousand years had passed, yet he remained the same, in the appearance of a Qingqu Taoist, always engrossed in exploring and cultivating Immortal Dao Technology, neither more decrepit nor more youthful, his aura instead appearing denser. It could be assumed that over the years, he had made some progress.

”Hi, Senior Yuan.”

Jiang Ding greeted with a smile.

”Once again, I’ve seen your primary form, Great Sun Sword Master of the Xianmen Sect.”

Yuan scrutinized the green-clothed youth, identical over tens of thousands of years, just like when he first joined the university, observing for quite a while. ”Haven’t you resolved your issue?” he inquired.

He was aware that the Great Sun Sword Master’s disappearance aimed to resolve an extreme challenge, a problem—an apparent approaching demise.

But from his brooding appearance, it was evident he hadn’t succeeded.

”No, I haven’t.”

”I didn’t succeed. Tian Yun did not favor me.”

Jiang Ding sighed.

Lack of luck. The Taiyin and Taiyang Sword Child, the Heavenly Sword Sword Son didn’t choose to encircle and attack; they straightforwardly left, lacking even a foundation for breakthroughs.

In fact, even if they had attacked, that battlefield wouldn’t have been perfect; it would have been best if all Taoist disciples and Saint Heirs from the Great Thousand World appeared on the same battlefield. Only then could one claim even a hint of exceeding the limit.

Regrettably, luck wasn’t on his side.

After such a battle, the Taiyin and Taiyang Sword Child would ascend to Harmonization, while other quasi-immortal clan Saint Heirs would follow suit systematically, without awaiting anything.

Such an opportunity was permanently missed.
