Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

The Ice Field Heavenly Monarch fell silent for a moment.

Was the Human Clan Heavenly Monarch bluffing, or would he actually have the ruthlessness to sit back and watch all the Nascent Soul Golden Core cultivators die?

She asked herself this question in her heart.

The answer also appeared immediately.

Indeed, he would.

This Human Clan Heavenly Monarch had just been promoted and had killed a Divinity Transformation late-stage cultivator of his own race without hesitation, devouring his territory and slaughtering his family clean.

Humans were the most despicable and cruel race she had ever seen. No matter where or when, regardless of their level of cultivation, they would tirelessly fight among themselves until an absolute ruler emerged victorious.

It might be fine for other Demon Monarchs, but the Ice Phoenix Clan had difficulty reproducing, and her daughter was...

”Ten years.”

”I will give you another ten years,” said the Ice Field Heavenly Monarch coldly. ”If my daughter is not released after ten years, I will start slaughtering Human Cultivators, and I will not rest until I’m done.”

”Whether you care or not, it will be so.”

She laid out her conditions directly, with an attitude that brooked no threat, making it unclear whether it was a strategic intimidation or if she truly felt this way.

Perhaps, she had made this preparation the moment she allowed the Ice Phoenix Immortal to go out for experience.

If her daughter were to die, she would be heartbroken, upset, and it would pose a great crisis for the continuation of her race, but it was not a reason to be threatened!

More than ten thousand years of life experience told her that the more compromises she made, including for the Ice Phoenix Immortal, the more dangerous the outcome would be.

On the contrary, the more resolute and heartless she was, the better the final outcome might be.

”Ten years?”

”As you wish.”

Jiang Ding waved his hand indifferently and turned around to return to the Dark Demon Palace.

Facing her directly, he confirmed that he could not defeat the Ice Field Heavenly Monarch now.

She had lived too long, and instead of declining due to reaching the end of her lifespan, her mana, divine abilities, and physical strength were all growing stronger with the accumulation of years, along with her formidable bloodline, putting her above most late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

This meant that, on the same level, even Human Divinity Transformation cultivators might not be her match.

It had to be an exceptional Divinity Transformation cultivator, like the Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch, invincible of his kind, who could suppress her and force her to flee desperately.

The Ice Field Heavenly Monarch coldly watched and did nothing as she departed.

The center of the Six Realms Separation Yang Formation was in the Dark Demon Palace, in a bottomless pool of water.

Jiang Ding sat on the Six Dao Throne, quietly observing.

The pool was thirty zhang wide, but its depth reached more than five thousand zhang, going straight down to the deepest part of Yin Yang Magneto Spiritless Mountain. Its purpose was to gather the Yin Yang Magnetic Extreme Divine Light within tens of thousands of kilometers through the Leaving Sun Great Formation, thereby manifesting an actual magnetic pole divine light entity.

Now, at the bottom of the pool, there were some blue water droplets seemingly increasing every moment by an imperceptible amount.

”It is estimated that in sixty-two years, the Yin Yang Magnetic Extreme Divine Light will be born. Its form like a flood dragon, full of spirit, arrogant and intractable, capable of destroying heavens and earth. An inattentive Divinity Transformation cultivator might be injured or even killed by it...” Jiang Ding said to himself.

His body became hazy, and from it, another young man in blue robes split off.

The Nanofluid Robot Ying-758 at the Nascent Soul Peak.

He had purchased it from the Xianmen Sect with spirit stones and a large number of fourth-rank Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and it would be responsible for the repression of the Northern Plains Tushan Courtyard, reviewing documents of all levels, and controlling the Sixth Order Separation Yang Formation.

In theory, with a Nascent Soul Peak clone controlling the Six Realms Separation Yang Formation, coupled with the support of numerous Nascent Soul cultivators, Golden Pill cultivators, and Qi Training Foundation-Building cultivators on the mountain providing mana and Formation Method support, they should be able to face a late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator without defeat.

If the fight were dragged out, his main body could quietly emerge and secretly strike the enemy, potentially even slaughtering a late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator.

”You keep an eye on this place, I’m going to travel.”

Jiang Ding took out an item from his sleeve, a fist-sized Ice Snow Palace, with various eaves, bricks, tiles, and glazes clearly visible, and he could even see some sleeping members of the Demon Race and Demon Monarchs on the edges of the palace, much smaller than sesame seeds, with all sorts of faces and feather patterns vividly detailed.

Because they were all real, just shrunk and sealed by space spells.

”Leave it here.”

Jiang Ding casually tossed the fist-sized Ice Snow Palace into the Yin Yang Magnetic Extreme Divine Light’s abyssal pool, where array patterns spread and enveloped it, ensuring that nothing could go wrong.

”The Sixth Order Leaving Sun Great Formation is now connected to this thing. Should it come under attack from the Ice Field Heavenly Monarch, this Ice Snow Palace will immediately shatter, executing all the demons within.”

”It serves as a deterrent to the Ice Field Heavenly Monarch.”

”If I haven’t returned in ten years, use this bargaining chip to negotiate with the Ice Field Heavenly Monarch.”

In the realm of cultivation, nothing was certain, so making preparations just in case was effortless.

The Nascent Soul Peak clone didn’t answer, looking at him as if he were insane.

Why are you telling me this?

”Overseeing the Central Courtyard, make sure this place is secured.”

Jiang Ding couldn’t be bothered with him anymore and disappeared from sight.

It was unknown whether he had concealed himself to leave the Dark Demon Palace for some task, or if he had left this realm altogether.

The clone overseeing the Central Courtyard believed it to be the former.

Having only part of Jiang Ding’s memories and none concerning the Xianmen Sect, he couldn’t reveal any secrets even if captured by a being beyond Nascent Soul Cultivators.

...

Xianmen Sect, the Thirty-Third Tianguard Orbit, node 734.

The Great Sun Heavenly Pool blossomed from the hands of a young man in azure robes, expanding, and then covering its shell with a layer of virtual crystal wall, transforming into a satellite the size of 90,000 kilometers.

It spun ceaselessly like a radiant crystal ball, naturally gathering the cosmic starlight, thirty times larger than the moon.

If Lanying Planet were not the mother star of Xianmen Sect and able to accommodate worlds of Refining Nothingness, with multi-layered spatial compound formations, the mere gravitational pull of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond could cause a planet-wide disaster, leading to the disintegration of a planet.

Within the brilliant Great Sun Heavenly Pond’s Sun Abyss, Jiang Ding sat in meditation.

He felt a sense of comfort, reassurance, and warmth flood his heart.

The Great Sun Heavenly Pond was the cradle of past Dari Swordsmen, and only here could his mana, Divine Sense, and Sword Intent receive the best and quickest growth.

”However, it is necessary to cultivate on the Yin Yang Magneto Spiritless Mountain to replenish the Primordial Magnetic Aura,” Jiang Ding murmured to himself and used Inner Vision Dantian.

The power from the Wan Hua Magnetic Element Scripture had stabilized after absorbing a copious amount of Primordial Magnetism—unlikely to destabilize again for at least several decades.

”Swordsman!”

”Where did you go? Why did you seal me?”

The Moon Spirit of the Heavenly Pond, having awakened, spoke with a voice filled with resentment, ”The Moon Spirit of the Heavenly Pond will always follow you, someone who can be fully trusted.”

”Even if the Eastern Devil School betrays you, even if the Great Sun Sword Master descends, I will not waver; I will help you command the Great Sun Heavenly Pond to escape. Why don’t you trust me?”

Within the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, the positions of the Dari Swordsman and the Great Sun Sword Master were equal.

From the inception of the Great Sun Heavenly Pool, it was designed to protect the Dari Swordsman from oppression by the Great Sun Sword Master, protecting at least their life—a tradition that went on generation after generation.

Even a Great Sun Sword Master who disliked the Dari Swordsman would choose to pass away within the Great Sun Heavenly Pond to bolster its power upon their last breath.

Because, when the Great Sun Sword Master was young, they too had received the sanctuary of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond.

”What do you think?”

Jiang Ding glanced at her.

”This... if a new Dari Swordsman were to be born, a fight to the death would naturally ensue. It’s a law of nature and a great opportunity for you. If you can win, the odds of advancing past Void Refinement would increase dramatically overnight!”

The Moon Spirit unapologetically proclaimed, without a hint of shame.

Jiang Ding didn’t bother to reply. Instead, he dialed the number of the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch, planning to invite him to be a guest at the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, hoping he wouldn’t stir up trouble and end up in custody again.

This time, thankfully, the call connected easily.
