Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”This Sword Intent Soul Fruit belongs to me!”

”Master, you used me as a scapegoat, so let this item be compensation, then!”

Immortal Blood Bone’s eyes were filled with intense, blazing flames.

He struggled to remain calm and not show any abnormality, his hands trembling slightly as he picked up the Bloody Sun Sword Fruit from the ashes and put it into his storage bag.

Then, he acted as if nothing had happened, not wasting a single moment to clean up the area, and flew towards a distant prairie.

In just a short moment, Immortal Blood Bone arrived by a plain and unremarkable stream on the prairie, lifted up dry grass and a stone slab, revealing a quiet room beneath.

Entering it,

A teleportation Formation appeared before his eyes.

Clearly, no Cultivator is a fool; they are all well-prepared in advance.

”Master, let’s meet again when I’ve become an Immortal,” Immortal Blood Bone resolved in his heart and disappeared into the white light of the teleportation Formation.

...

At the same time,

Within the Great Sun Sword Sect, amidst the billowing thick smoke of a million corpses.

Immortal Burning Bone suddenly opened his eyes.

”He’s gone?”

”Did he die, or what?”

Immortal Burning Bone glanced at his Sea of Consciousness.

There, the Spirit Sword imprint of Blood Bone Sword had dimmed significantly, indicating that it was at least a hundred thousand li away from him.

A hint of unease arose in Immortal Burning Bone’s heart.

This was no ordinary disciple.

He was involved with a large number of Sword Sprouts, vast wealth, and the digging into the roots of the Great Sun Sword Sect.

Although many Immortals of Nascent Soul had shared the benefits, if this were truly exposed, none would speak on his behalf.

Even though it was unlikely that Immortal Jianyang would kill a Nascent Soul Immortal of his own Sect, the others wouldn’t just stand by idly.

But, there was still a slight possibility.

If it were made a reality, to strike first would be stronger. If he killed him and then presented a large number of incontrovertible evidences, the Nascent Soul members of the Sect might remain dissatisfied, but hoping for them to avenge on his behalf would be wishful thinking.

At most, they would only create a lot of trouble for Immortal Jianyang and express their dissatisfaction.

”Jianyang has not yet left his seclusion.”

”It shouldn’t come to that.”

After much thought, Immortal Burning Bone shook his head and recited an incantation, maneuvering a Mana Technique, and suddenly, a series of scenes appeared before his eyes.

The power struggle between Immortal Fufeng and Inner Sect Elders, the tense auction underground with Immortal Fufeng, transactions, and the inspecting of Sword Sprouts across the regions...

It was the experiences of Immortal Blood Bone during this period of time.

Immortal Burning Bone watched in detail, his Divine Sense rapidly moving through the scenes until the imagery brought him to a desolate prairie where a grey-robed youth was cultivating quietly within a third-rank high-grade Concealment Array.

He paused, his expression changing.

”This...”

”Bloody Sun!”

Immortal Burning Bone stood up suddenly, inexplicably overjoyed: ”Bloody Sun! This is Bloody Sun, Bloody Sun Sword Intent ah!”

”In the Sect, Yang is revered.”

”Scorching Sun, Jianyang, without exception, they are peak powerhouses of the same level, with profound potential, unparalleled among their peers.”

”Compared with this Sword Intent, what Blood Bone Sword Intent, what Burning Bone Sword Intent, what False Flame Sword Intent, they are all nonsense! They are not even worthy to carry shoes under Yang-Attribute Sword Intent!”

”Hahaha...”

”Haha...”

Immortal Burning Bone couldn’t help but burst into laughter, dancing with joy, unable to contain his emotions: ”Blood Bone, you really are my good disciple!”

”If you really advanced to Nascent Soul, perhaps I would indeed have to hold my nose and accept it. Even if I destroyed your physical body, I wouldn’t be able to stop your Nascent Soul from escaping.”

”Not to mention the status of Yang-Attribute Sword Intent within the Sect, whether I could still pursue you is not certain, and all the past deeds would be wiped out.”

”Sword Cultivators have always recognized only victory and outcome, never questioning how it was achieved.”

”What an excellent disciple you are, Blood Bone!”

Immortal Burning Bone laughed madly, with neither resentment nor surprise.

If he had been someone’s disciple with the Bloody Sun Sword Intent before him, he would have seized it without any hesitation, not even the hesitation of a single breath.

A master-disciple relationship?

That’s bullshit!

Boom!

A terrifying black-grey Escape Light, full of killing intent, shattered the space and disappeared without a trace.

...

An Immortal of Nascent Soul, capable of tearing through space at incredible speeds, arrived after some time; accompanied by the sound of space tearing, a withered old man appeared in this desolate grassland.

The fierce winds from the broken space tore through the surrounding grassland, and the third-grade high-quality Concealment Array was on the verge of collapse.

The old man’s grey-white hair fluttered around his cheeks as his piercing gaze swept across the area.

”Correct, that’s unmistakably the remnant scent of the Bloody Sun Sword Intent, a scent no one else can imitate,” he said with satisfaction. ”It wasn’t in vain that this old man took great risks over the past hundred years, painstakingly nurturing this opportunity. If the Immortal Path favors me, it’s not impossible for someone to see my face again thousands of years from now.”

He opened his hand and from it burst forth Sword Qi, adorned with ash-grey flames, brutally destroying the Concealment Array and all residual traces in the area.

”Youngsters are always impetuous, never considering the consequences.”

”Luckily, you’ve got an old man like me to patch things up for you,” Immortal Burning Bone said with a smile.

He tore through space and vanished again, finding Immortal Blood Bone’s teleportation Formation laid out many years ago without much effort. With the ability of a Nascent Soul Monk to control space, he rapidly took measurements and broke through the void.

...

Meanwhile, on a certain grassland,

a young man in blue seemingly appeared out of nowhere, looking in the direction of the Great Sun Sword Sect.

”There are twenty-seven Immortals of Nascent Soul,” he noted.

”One at the Nascent Soul Peak, three in the late stage, ten in the middle stage, thirteen in the early stage.”

”The one at the peak seems off, the Divine Soul is rather weak, stationed at the heart of the Great Sun Sword Sect. The three in the late stage are also in seclusion within the Sect. Those in the middle stage, three are in the Great Sun Sword City, practicing the ’Sun Extinguishing Spirit Sword Scripture’, ’Slaughter Ten Thousand Sword Scripture’... with Sword Intent such as Morning Sun Sword Intent, Burning Spirit Sword Intent...”

”So detailed...”

Jiang Ding was somewhat astounded.

This was his first time in the hinterlands of the Great Sun Sword Sect’s grassland, his first visit here.

And then, immediately, a wealth of information flowed into his mind, detailing each Nascent Soul Monk’s Cultivation Base, Sword Intent, state, practiced Cultivation Methods, names of Life Flying Swords... and so on, as clear as the lines on the palm of his hand.

As for Golden Pill Monks, there was no need to mention them; they were not qualified to appear in his Sea of Consciousness voluntarily. He would need to consult a lower-ranking list to see them, which was even more detailed.

There were no Spirit Soul Restrictions or Mana Technique secrets.

Hum!

The Taiqing Flying Sword issued a dissatisfied sword hum.

”Alright, alright,” he said.

”You’re so powerful, what do you need these secrets for? It would be a bit shameful, right?” Jiang Ding understood its meaning and couldn’t help but smile wryly, ”But our Cultivation Base is still low, so you need to take it easy. If you’re too arrogant, you could get killed. We need to be cautious and vigilant.”

”Cautiousness is the true essence of the Sword Dao.”

”What? It’s different?”

”They are the ones who are wrong, betraying the teachings of the Ancestor Master of the Sword Pavilion. It’s necessary to rectify the chaos and return to the origins,” he argued.

The Taiqing Flying Sword ceased its vibrations.

Jiang Ding nodded in satisfaction, concealed his form, and tore through space to leave the area.

He was feeling quite at ease now.

The intelligence he received was unexpectedly thorough, broadening his options instantly. It didn’t have to be Immortal Burning Bone; any Nascent Soul Immortal from the Great Sun Sword Sect who deserved punishment would do, ideally chosen at random, without the need for complex schemes.
