Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 2000: Chapter 1969: Fusang Saintess

A group of sword cultivators left the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Palace and headed towards the distant starry sky.

They would launch an expedition lasting thousands to tens of thousands of years, or perhaps even longer, until they either returned after achieving the Dao or died in a foreign land.

Jiang Ding’s gaze fell on the back of Yun Ji.

With extensive information on the Vermilion Bird Star Realm, the selection range for maids had expanded to hundreds of Great Thousand World Clusters. In such a vast scope, even the likes of the Great Sun Maidens Dao’s elites would not be scarce in the future, significantly increasing the possibility of the emergence of a Seven-step Daoist.

One wonders if it’s this generation’s Yun Ji who will become the Seven-step Daoist?

War leads to death, especially the death of sword cultivators. He had seen too many, finding it hard to stir any ripples in his heart—this was the fate of sword cultivators.

The sword cultivators gradually faded away.

The Vermilion Bird Heavenly Palace returned to silence.

”Master,”

A Harmonization Stage maid bowed respectfully.

This was the strongest Tushan maid besides Yun Ji. Even though Yun Ji had commandeered a large number of Tushan maid legions, she still had tens of millions to guard the Dari Swordsman and execute his decrees.

”Hmm.”

”Go purge the Vermilion Bird Great Thousand World, execute all sinful Dao Fruit cultivators, and establish grassroots political institutions. Set up the decrees at the end of every First-Order Spiritual Vein. Can this be done?”

Jiang Ding asked lightly.

Currently, there were no opposing Taoist disciples left in the Vermilion Bird Great Thousand World, but it still had many Heavenly Human Unity cultivators.

”It can be done.”

The Harmonization Stage maid bowed and left.

Many maids moved with her, executing their actions in perfect unison, embodying a natural Dao Essence, showcasing high military formation skills. They were filled with a fierce, bloody aura, certain to bring a storm of blood to the Vermilion Bird Great Thousand World Clusters, with countless lives to be claimed by their swords.

This is the Taoist Soldiers of sword cultivators.

Many Daoist disciples held their breath; even if they were unwilling, they dared not intervene.

”Tushan,”

”Isn’t this slaughter excessive?”

The Fusang Saintess spoke softly.

”Oh?”

Jiang Ding’s gaze fell on her, saying nothing.

Instinctively, he felt a bit displeased in his heart.

Other than Immortal Sect citizens who could reasonably refuse his military orders and argue based on legal military law, he personally didn’t find anything wrong with them, having long been accustomed to it.

This was the first time an Outer Realm cultivator had questioned his order, and it was from a being weaker than himself.

The Joyous Union Holy Maiden sensed danger and couldn’t help feeling a little schadenfreude in her heart.

This notorious bastard who turns his back on people—can he be persuaded?

”It’s just that the slaughter is excessive.”

”It harms the balance of nature.”

Though somewhat timid, the Fusang Saintess said, ”If it’s about Heavenly Human Unity cultivators, that’s one thing, but Foundation-building and Qi training Dao Fruit cultivators are forced; they float aimlessly, with no control over their fates. What sin have they committed?”

”These sins belong to those High-Level Cultivators. Foundation-building and Qi Practitioners, these small fellows, shouldn’t be blamed excessively.”

Inside the great hall, there was a cold and murderous atmosphere.

Many Daoist disciples trembled with fear, clearly sensing the displeasure of that one.

Just as everyone expected thunderous wrath,

”...This would greatly reduce administrative efficiency.”

”Besides, although Qi practice can be dismissed, Foundation-building Dao Fruit cultivators must have consumed Qi Cultivation Dao Fruit to advance, and that’s original sin. They have to accept it, even if it leads to death.”

”These consequences should have been anticipated when they killed for Dao Fruits to advance to Foundation Establishment.”

Patiently, Jiang Ding explained, ”They are only Foundation-building cultivators. At most, they’d develop within a hundred years. The new generation of cultivators will surely be new human cultivators, the hope of humanity, and humanity’s future lies amongst them.”

”Then pardon all Dao Fruit Qi cultivators?”

”They truly are innocent.”

The Fusang Saintess didn’t press further but quickly seized Jiang Ding’s words.

”...Alright.”

Jiang Ding furrowed his brow, saying.

This would bring many troubles to the work of the Tushan maids and require developing a method to suppress the Qi Cultivation Dao Fruit, turning it towards normal cultivation method heritage.

However, it was indeed correct.

The Qi Cultivation Dao Fruit cultivators were indeed innocent.

Unconsciously, as time passed and his realm grew higher, he hadn’t focused enough on the lower-level cultivators outside the Immortal Sect. This could be due to the influence of Outer Realm cultivators’ customs.

Did it really work?

The Daoist disciples around were stunned, hearts shaken.

Could the Fusang Saintess influence this bloody and cold sword Dao butcher?

’Damn it...’

’That wench...’

The Joyous Union Holy Maiden kept a calm exterior, but within, she was grinding her teeth with envy so intense it threatened to twist her heart.

Favoritism!

This is favoritism!

If she had said something similar, even with the same rationale, chances are that person would have struck with his sword, a cold warning that life danger might arise.

”Additionally,”

”Heavenly Calculation Daoist, in accordance with Tushan Law, since you surrendered when the overall situation was settled, you must be sentenced.”

Jiang Ding looked at Heavenly Calculation Daoist and the others, unconcerned with their opinions, lightly saying, ”Gentlemen need to serve five thousand years in penal reform, not stepping outside the prison during that time.”

”Any objections?”

”No objections, Swordsman.”

Heavenly Calculation Daoist and the others looked bitter.

They were nearly prisoners, and this new Vermilion Bird Star Realm sovereign didn’t need their allegiance.

”Tushan,”

”According to your Tushan Law, they can reduce their sentence by earning merit, right?”

The Fusang Saintess asked.

This person had a strong adaptability, always able to find fitting methods to achieve her goals.

”Yes.”

”There is a limit to sentence reduction, unless one can contribute significantly to ’Seven Emotions and Six Desires Destruction Method Feathering Great Sun Sword Soul Embryo,’ for which they may be pardoned.”

Jiang Ding said lightly.

He feared no resistance from these Daoists, having no value for unity here, there was indifference.

However, if the Fusang Saintess fought for their legally granted rights, it was only natural.

Heavenly Calculation Daoist and the others gave a grateful glance to the Fusang Saintess, feeling steadier in their hearts.

It’s still the same reliable fellow sect members of Vermilion Bird Star Realm.

As for laws, they generally didn’t have faith in them and believed more in human nature. With Fusang Saintess to rely on, the days would be better.

”These are minor matters.”

”The most crucial is to understand the Vermilion Bird Ancient Talisman and the ’Seven Emotions and Six Desires Destruction Method Feathering Great Sun Sword Soul Embryo’ development. We gained extra Divine Soul Computational Power...”

Jiang Ding quickly handled various matters, then tossed them aside, continuing his research work.

The Joyous Union Holy Maiden and other Daoist disciples showed a pained expression.

The good days had just begun, only to end again.

”Soft persimmon,”

”How about we play a very fun game?”

Jiang Ding looked at the Fusang Saintess amicably.

”What game?”

The Fusang Saintess was somewhat puzzled.

”Understanding the Heavenly Dao, deducing cause and effect of the future, exploring the path of True Immortality, and planning to seize the ancient Immortal Clan’s Immortal Scripture heritage. Doesn’t that sound interesting?”

”Would you like to join?”

Jiang Ding tempted.
