Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

In the dark starry sky outside the Magical Stone Minor Realm, no light is reflected, covering everything, so that even if Great Emperor scans with Divine Sense, nothing can be detected.

Within this pitch-black canopy, millions of iron warships, war machines, and Starry Sky Fortresses dance around like planets orbiting the sun, with substantial orbital tracks forming a terrifying chaotic grand array spread across the starry sky, always in a state of imminent battle, with not a moment of relaxation.

At the center of this massive Starry Sky Fleet, within a nebulous world phantom, a sixteen-year-old boy with pale skin quietly slumbers, having continued for several years.

He is no longer just a head.

The body below the head re-grew, flesh regenerated, broken bones increased in number, recovered, meridians and Elixir Field restored, purging the power of Flame Rules embedded in the flesh. The parts of flesh that were impossible to discard were abandoned, copied and proliferated from the healthy flesh to reform a complete body.

Now there was a complete human form.

The skin was terribly pale, devoid of blood color, lacking blood circulation, this regenerated meridians and flesh extremely fragile, completely insufficient to bear the Cultivation Base of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Magic Cultivation also requires the body.

The bodies of magic cultivators are not as robust as those of Body Cultivators who can take blows from treasures directly, but the requirements are also high in adaptability, affinity, and capacity to contain Mana.

The body of a magic cultivator is entirely evolved towards Magic and Swordsmanship, akin to blocks of precise chips and high-tech hardware facilities, extremely crucial for cultivators.

Suddenly, the handsome young boy’s eyelashes trembled.

After struggling for a moment, his eyes finally opened.

”Hiss...”

Jiang Ding’s face contorted.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt an intense pain as if countless ants were crawling and biting all over his body, the pain omnipresent, causing uncontrollable trembles, unable to stop this inherent reaction.

This was a good sign, indicating that the body was truly beginning to recover, not just a mass of dead meat.

”I should avoid such injuries in the future...”

Jiang Ding took a deep breath.

As a cultivator, Divine Sense, Sword Intent, and Mana were his natural instincts, now operating as usual to meticulously scan his body.

This further intensified the severe pain.

The newly formed meridians, flesh, and bones could not bear his Mana and Sword Intent; every scan felt like a knife scraping, hurting intensely.

This was still with controlled amounts of Mana, just probing out a tiny wisp. If more was used, the meridians might just burst.

”Has it recovered?”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch had been attentively observing and now truly relaxed, smiling, ”Although your body is proliferated from your original flesh, it is still nascent and cannot bear your Mana yet. It likely needs repeated tempering for about twenty years to return to its original state.”

”Also, your sword...”

Jiang Ding subconsciously touched his brow and took it out.

The Taiqing Flying Sword was still twisted like a pretzel, with many areas cracked. It bore the brunt of a strike from a Great Emperor firsthand, its aura extremely weak, flickering weakly every few seconds.

”I do not know how to repair your sword.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch said helplessly.

For a Sword Cultivator, his Flying Sword was even more important than his body. A body might survive being shattered, but a Sword Cultivator would undoubtedly die without any chance of survival if his Flying Sword was completely destroyed.

”Swordsman, I know.”

”In this regard, the Sword Pavilion has extensive experience, rest assured.”

Great Sun Celestial Pond Moon Spirit interjected: ”Just throw it into the Great Sun Heavenly Pond and prepare No. 4 Synthetic Geng Metal, a large amount of metal attribute Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure... can we get the trunk of the Green Wood Divine Tree from the Green Wood Immortal Sect?”

”In the past, the Sword Pavilion was very fond of this material, which is very useful for repairing Flying Swords.”

”The Five Elements Heavenly Sect’s Five-Colored Earth is also quite good, as are the Shangqing Lingbao Sect’s Three Pure River Sands, the Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace’s Celestial Star Silk, and the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace’s Mother Qi of the Fifth Earth...”

She listed various treasured materials from the Eight Great Immortal Sects all at once, like counting family treasures.

Evidently, during the prime of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, they were not shy about borrowing items from others; relevant Sword Dao mystiques were also developed.

”Having these would be best; if not, it’s still okay, it would just be slower and the enhancement to the repaired Flying Sword a bit smaller.”

Yueling explained.

Indeed, each time a Dari Swordsman’s sword was damaged in a bloody battle and then repaired, it represents the most perfect process of Sword Refining, far more efficient and stronger than the usual refining of flying swords.

The Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch fell into deep thought.

Each of these materials is foundational divine materials of the Eight Great Immortal Sects; otherwise, they wouldn’t be favored by the Great Sun Flying Sword—ordinary materials would suffice as they can be produced within the Great Sun Heavenly Pond.

”I’ll try my best,”

”I should have some certainty.”

After some calculations, the Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch saw Jiang Ding was about to say something and gestured him to stop, ”This is an occupational injury, you don’t have to worry, I will handle the accounts myself.”

The Spirit Stones of the Immortal Sect should not be given to anyone without reason, even if it is far, and must comply with regulations without any room for personal feelings.

”Jiang Ding, your commendation has arrived.”

”Regarding your battle merit rewards.”

The Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch handed Jiang Ding a document issued by the Immortal Sect Citizens’ Congress, saying, ”Your battle merits this time are two-fold, first, you completed the undercover mission in the Nine Spirits Realm and successfully lured the Flame Stone Great Emperor; the greatest reward for this battle merit is that the Nine Great Immortal Sects helped you fix part of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, which has been given to you in advance.”

”However, the Immortal Sect has another commendation for you—a Void Refining Battle Merit, which you can use to exchange for anything you need.”

”A Void Refining Battle Merit?”

Jiang Ding was moved.

To this day, he finally began to touch upon the level of Void Refining Battle Merits.

He knew that only by making significant contributions on the battleground of the Void Refining level can one obtain a Void Refining Battle Merit, each of which appears accompanied by a bloody storm between domains, extremely precious.

Currently in the Immortal Sect, only four people have Void Refining Battle Merits.

They are Far, Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch, Heavenly Monarch Wan Ji, and Canghai Heavenly Monarch.

Among them, Canghai Heavenly Monarch is a bit of an add-on, he commanded an army fleet of the Immortal Sect in the last domain war and held off the Taiyi Green Wood Daoist Soldiers of the Green Wood Immortal Sect for a long time; compared to the previous three seniors, he is much lesser.

However, Canghai Heavenly Monarch is already considered a super tough man; commanding a Void Refining Army Formation with an Incarnation Body, anyone would acknowledge this as the pinnacle of Divinity Transformation elites.

A Void Refining Battle Merit, if to make a simple comparison, is like a Space Treasure.

With it, the Immortal Sect can help you refine a Sixth Order Space Treasure, an item used by a Master of Refining Nothingness, similar to the great imperial arms, and you don’t even need to provide the materials.

Now, having received this Void Refining Battle Merit, Jiang Ding instantly became the fifth merit holder of the Immortal Sect.

”The second battle merit is for ’Dao Heart Seed Demon Slave Scripture’, the Immortal Sect grants you a Void Refining Battle Merit.”

The Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch continued, ”Do you have any objections to this? If so, I will feedback to the higher-ups, if reasonable, the Immortal Sect will make amendments.”

”No, let it be so.”

Jiang Ding smiled.

He was indeed satisfied and did not wish for too many rewards.

Because, in reality, he was one of the largest shareholders of the Immortal Sect, usually able to easily obtain many conveniences on the path of cultivation within the Immortal Sect, such as deriving Cultivation Methods, designing warships, etc.

If due to excessive rewards, too much cash flow is diverted, affecting the development of the Immortal Sect, this is something he does not want to see.
