Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding quietly watched the nineteenth generation Dari Swordsman, waiting for his decision.

In the tradition of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, the Swordsman and the Sword Master are two independent entities, not inherently subordinate to each other.

The Swordsman obeys the Sword Master because of the Sword Master’s power, not due to tradition.

What decision would this Dari Swordsman make?

Of course, it doesn’t matter to the Ancient Emperor.

No one is irreplaceable, even if this generation’s Dari Swordsman dies, a new Dari Swordsman will still be born in the Great Sun Heavenly Pond in the next millions of years.

...

”Swordsman...”

Yue hesitated to speak.

Just like many years ago when she conversed with the Ancient Emperor, but in the end, said nothing, allowing the Dari Swordsman to make his own decision.

The Heavenly Destruction Sword Son remained silent for a long time.

”Sword Master.”

The Heavenly Destruction Sword Son faced the direction of Dubhe and bowed slightly.

He knew he needed to adhere to the laws of the Immortal Dynasty, to give up the will to become the Great Sun Sword Master, otherwise he would have to die, the Great Sun Sword Master would not protect him.

This is the cost of challenging a stronger power.

...

”Though reasonable.”

”But uninteresting.”

Jiang Ding withdrew his gaze, his eyes once again hollow, lost in thought.

”Indeed,”

”The Great Sun Sword Immortal is incomplete and cannot be considered a true True Immortal. His natural lifespan is only fifteen million years, perhaps even less, and his Great Sun Original Ancient Talisman is extremely incomplete.”

Jiang Ding pondered silently.

The Great Sun Sword Immortal had an Original Ancient Talisman, named the ”Heavenly Destruction Great Sun Immortal Sword Scripture,” which he seemed to have also retrained in the Great Sun Sword Scripture. It wasn’t better, but more suited to him, numbering around a hundred thousand words, but was very incomplete and lacked innovation.

This is fatal for a True Immortal.

A True Immortal needs to blaze a path, one that is uniquely their own. In the future, this unique path would condense into their own Great Dao, marking the beginning of their ascension.

But the destiny of the Great Sun Sword Immortal is cruel.

When he wants to forge his own path, he looks back at the Endless Starry Sky, at the Great Sun Immortal Sword Scripture, only to suddenly find the traces of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor everywhere. Almost every direction and every path he has already explored, leaving behind his will.

Innovation?

To innovate and forge a path under the shadow and shelter of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor!

How difficult is that!

This is the shared brutal reality faced by every heir and descendant of a unified ruler. Their predecessors have already walked every path; every obscure corner bears traces of their predecessors, their brilliance. When you painstakingly discover a corner seemingly untouched by anyone else, you only realize your own naivety.

The heirs and descendants of a unified ruler are destined to be weak.

The path to achievement for this generation’s Great Sun Sword Immortal is destined to be rough and illusory.

Perhaps the fate of every future generation’s Dari Swordsman will be such, unable to escape the shadow of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor. They will be strong, very strong, even surpassing many True Immortals, but not truly a True Immortal, only with combat power, while other aspects are all very incomplete.

”However, he possesses the ability to further maintain the Supreme Great Sun Original Ancient Talisman.”

”If he is willing... he should be able to continue the splendor of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty for another hundred million years. Only I can permanently sustain the Supreme Great Sun Original Ancient Talisman without it falling, others can only delay it, of course, this is the limit of Immortal Dao Science, haha, the theoretical limit of lifespan.”

Jiang Ding chuckled.

Immortal Dynasty Immortal Dao’s theoretical lifespan limit?

Haha, where is there a Dari Swordsman who doesn’t act out?

This is impossible.

...

”Swordsman, do not provoke the Great Sun Sword Master.”

”Even if I were to burn everything, I can’t escape under the Great Sun Sword Master’s sword, you will die.”

Yue gently advised, ”Your glory is in the future, after the Great Sun Sword Master’s slumber. Now you need to bear it further, no matter the reason, you must endure.”

”You want to explore your path of Heavenly Destruction, which requires many people and Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.”

”In the post-Supreme Great Sun Era, you might consider rallying the various Immortal Sect Holy Lands, the Tu Shan Maiden Corps, as well as the most likely loyal Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivators. Gather the strength of these cultivators, and you may be able to shake the order of the Daoist Court Committee in the post-Supreme Great Sun Era, forming an order that belongs solely to you...”

Yue advised, offering suggestions.

Even though the Ancient Emperor has left, the order he left behind is still terrifying.

The Tu Shan Maiden Corps, Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Soldiers, Seven Super-tier Elite Dao Soldiers, these are all Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor-level Taoist Soldiers, having a role on the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor battlefield, something that an incomplete True Immortal can’t shake.

The power of the True Immortal of the Great Sun far surpasses any cultivator of the post-Ancient Emperor era, but facing the order left by the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, they still need to conceal themselves.

However, compared to the era with the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors still alive, it is much easier. Many Immortal Dynasty cultivators can be divided and reconciled, causing internal implosion.

”What about the Xianmen Sect?”

The Heavenly Destruction Sword Son suddenly asked.

The Xianmen Sect is the force in the Endless Starry Sky with the deepest foundational base in Immortal Dao Research, possessing extremely powerful auxiliary roles in Immortal Dao development, deemed one of the ladders to immortality.

Besides, in terms of military and official positions in the Immortal Dynasty, the Xianmen Sect holds many key positions, with an unfathomable potential influence.

”Swordsman.”

”The Eastern Devil School will not pledge allegiance to you.”

Yue pointed out the fact.

”Why, because this is the sect that gave birth to the Ancient Emperor?”

The Heavenly Destruction Sword Master inquired.

”Not at all.”

”The Eastern Devil School is extremely exclusive, not accepting any cultivator as a core member unless they’re a citizen, and even naturalized cultivators are the same. They can’t hold government positions.”

Yue explained.

”Moreover, do not underestimate this sect.”

”Years ago, the Great Sun Sword Pavilion was destroyed by this sect in collaboration with other forces. In the post-Supreme Great Sun Era, the ten Deep Space Fleets under its command will inevitably rise and crush you while you are still a sapling. Such things will definitely happen, and no one is naturally loyal to you.”

”It’s not just the Eastern Devil School.”

”Various Immortal Sect Holy Lands, and Taoist Court officials, they will not follow you naturally. If given a chance, they will find ways to kill you. Except for the Ancient Emperor, no one desires another Sovereign above them.”

”In the next three million years, you must cooperate with many forces, at least cultivate a friendly attitude, make them believe that your existence means more benefits than harm to them.”

”Otherwise, once the Ancient Emperor leaves, those various Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor-level Super-tier Elite Dao Soldiers who are being hunted might very well be...”

Yue solemnly warned, describing a dire reality.

The various Immortal Sect Holy Lands, families, and officials in the Immortal Dynasty have remained dutiful and loyal for far too long under the Ancient Emperor, with no ambition, working diligently and selflessly for the nation, for far too long, so much that people almost forget their greed and edge, overlook the extreme danger of these people.

”Is that so?”

The heart of the Heavenly Destruction Sword Son turned cold.
