Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1891: Chapter 1859: Old Tales of the Perishing Immortal Realm from Thirty Million Years Ago

Dan Tian Immortal Sect.

Amidst an expanse of mist-like alchemical energy, an Elder Nong clad in a grayish-brown tunic gazed at the whip in his hand, lost in thought, resembling a statue, pondering some unknown contemplation.

Time passed unnoticed.

The surrounding mist-like alchemical energy gradually undulated, forming shapes of dragons and tigers, emitting genuine dragon roars and tiger cries. Vivid celestial phenomena spread across the sky, rules constantly shifting like overturning mountains and seas, shaking heaven and earth.

Gradually, all the phenomena converged, and the endless mist-like alchemical energy vanished.

An impeccably dressed Daoist nun emerged.

With one hand holding a horsetail whisk and the other two Dragon-Tiger Great Elixirs, the four-sided dragons and tigers roared and swirled, all merging into the two elixirs, myriad colors converging into one.

”It’s done.”

”After 108,881 years, the Dragon Tiger Limit Breaking and Merging Pill is finally accomplished.”

”As agreed, this Tiger Pill is for your Heavenly Beast Garden.”

The Daoist nun waved the horsetail whisk, and the faintly growling Geng Metal Pill shot like a stream of light towards the Elder Nong’s hand.

”Much obliged, Fellow Daoist Dan Tian!”

”Thank you!”

The Heavenly Beast Venerable, in the guise of an Elder Nong, brightened his eyes.

He carefully accepted the Dragon Tiger Limit Breaking and Merging Pill, cautiously examined it, brought it to his nose for a sniff, and even licked it once, resembling an unworldly peasant with coarse manners, lacking the carefree immortal essence of a cultivator.

Dan Tian Venerable furrowed his brow slightly, said nothing, and stored away the Dragon Pill with a flick of his hand.

The Heavenly Beast Venerable scrutinized it for a long time before reluctantly storing the Tiger Pill with utmost care.

The refinement of the Dragon Tiger Limit Breaking and Merging Pill was a collaborative venture spanning generations between the two sects, with each generation paying a heavy price, consuming innumerable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, involving substantial internal resources, a daunting task.

”Is this a true elixir this time?”

The Heavenly Beast Venerable inquired.

”I don’t know.”

”I truly don’t know.”

Dan Tian Venerable sighed deeply: ”This elixir recipe, from the first generation of ancestor masters of our two families’ discussions, to the present day, spans 12.71 million years and has seen generations try, initially yielding nothing but black charcoal instead of pills.”

”Black charcoal full of the poison of magical pellets, lethal even to approach, let alone consume.”

”Through generations of trials and errors, a pill shape first appeared five million years ago, albeit aesthetically pleasing but utterly useless internally.”

”Only in the last three generations did we begin seeing some effects, though it came with severe side effects, requiring disciples to spend over ten thousand years to purge the poison of magical pellets.”

”This generation...”

Dan Tian Venerable uncertainly remarked: ”It’s likely better this time, there’s some confidence in its utility.”

”It’s fine.”

”I trust your confidence in its effect suffices.”

The Heavenly Beast Venerable smiled.

It seemed that, to him, any confidence in the elixir’s effect was the best news and did not truly hope for a perfect elixir.

Even if a rare mishap occurred, and a disciple perished... it couldn’t be helped.

Generations of ancestor masters had ventured similarly, and he himself had done so, for how could the legacy seeds produced at great cost advance without being consumed by the Taoist disciples?

How could the efficacy of elixirs be determined, and how could improvements be made?

Generations prone to ease and indolence, unwilling to take risks, how would they establish a foothold in the vast world?

As time passed and knowledge accumulated, someday the sect would inevitably transcend limits and sovereign over the entire vast world, even... to reopen the plane channels sealed for countless years!

In the cultivation world, ancientness equates to strength.

This was showcased vividly at that moment.

The Thunder Sun Heavenly Sword Realm, the Immortal Artifact Sect, and others of the ultimate realm had not fully unraveled this generation’s cultivation methods, magic, and swordsmanship. Numerous spiritual plants, elixirs, talismans, and magical artifacts required foundational accumulation, with all awaiting to be revitalized.

Who then had the leisure to explore higher realms?

Not so for the ancient Immortal Sects, including the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, as each pursued varying extents of transcending the utmost limits.

”Our progress is not hurried nor delayed.”

”Unlike the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, with much fortune.”

The Heavenly Beast Venerable twirled the whip in his hand, sighing wistfully: ”Their legacy is orderly, from Pure Yang to Yin Yang, to Taiyin and Taiyang, to potentially even the Great Sun, possibly manifesting yet another historic breakthrough, deeply envying others.”

”Crucially, this anomaly emerged naturally, effortlessly.”

”For tens of thousands of years, we also sowed legacy seeds; how is it none returned?”

”I assure you, I would treat them better than the Sun Supreme treats the Pure Yang Sword Child!”

He brimmed with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Indeed, such resurgence of old veins giving birth to new veins in the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm’s legacy had occurred too frequently for comfort, instilling urgency and crisis in all Immortal Sects.

”Didn’t you intervene once?”

Dan Tian Venerable calmly inquired.

Previously, during the battle where Pure Yang Sword Child slew Immortal Device Child, an unknown supreme had intervened. Back then, the Pure Yang Sword Child was but an obscure figure, merely having slain a severely injured Heavenly Man, hardly renowned.

At that time, the Heavenly Beast Venerable glimpsed the future through some cause and effect.

”Regrettably,”

”It was unsuccessful, thwarted by the Sun Supreme.”

The Heavenly Beast Venerable shook his head slightly.

The last generation Lin Yang and Lin Yin, proclaimed as the strongest under the great tribulation’s end, scoured the world, amassing rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to forge the robust foundation of their disciples, vastly exceeding their peers.

If the Taiyin Sun Supreme were to single-handedly contend with any Immortal Sect, they would gain a tremendous advantage, formidable enough to incite dread.

Before thoroughly falling out, there were numerous concerns.

”Your disciple suggests,”

”The six Supremes unite to forcibly eliminate Pure Yang Sword Child and remove the anomaly, what do you think?”

”I noticed the Immortal Artifact Venerable and others seem to agree.”

The Heavenly Beast Venerable laughed.

”Wishful thinking.”

”Just whimsical ideas from the juniors.”

Dan Tian Venerable displayed an expression as if unable to bear the sight: ”It sounds simple in theory; though we six Supremes could protect ourselves as Venerables, this is ultimately theoretical.”

”What if some supremes, or several supremes, develop cunning intentions?”

”Would we then perish here?”

”Hahaha!”

”No need for harshness, it’s normal for juniors to harbor naive ideas...”

The Heavenly Beast Venerable burst into hearty laughter.

The two Supremes discussed many matters, jointly inferring the current situation, their hearts gradually growing heavy.

A looming shadow of gloom hung over their minds.

”Thirty million years ago, the decrepit, irreversible decline of the Endless Starry Sky’s Universal Law Dynasty collapsed completely. The Ten Thousand Laws Imperial City was breached, and the last generation of the Ten Thousand Laws Ancient Emperor’s direct descendants were slain by the Divine Dao Supreme and the Demon Race alliance.

The final master of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect was quartered, and the Human Race utterly lost its dominant position within the Endless Starry Sky. During that chaotic era, ancestors decided to seal the plane channel, barricading themselves to avoid the turmoil.”

”To date, over thirty million years have passed.”

”Unexpectedly, despite such time, the Human Race’s state has not improved but grown even more chaotic. The future is sure to witness turbulent times, and we must swiftly acquire four-step supreme power...”

Dan Tian Venerable murmured.

The Heavenly Beast Venerable also wore a grave expression.
