Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding made the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch angry for the first time.

And it was a colossal anger, a profound disappointment, a deep sadness of that kind.

”Jiang Ding, why must you do this?”

”Why have you fallen into those nonsensical factions within the Xianmen Sect, the extreme egalitarians, the universalists, the death-abolitionists—those infantile giants of Xianmen Sect?”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch’s eyes were filled with disappointment: ”Isn’t the Xianmen Sect good the way it is now?”

”All of us brothers, having a shared background, shared experiences, growing up together from kindergarten, primary school, high school, university... climbing up together, sharing common memories, receiving the same education, without any barriers between us.”

”What about those from alien races, beings from outside our mother star?”

”Their upbringing and life experiences differ completely from ours. The things we swear by and accept, they completely disregard. The things we disdain and tread upon like dirt, they fully acknowledge just like Xu Yan.”

”Equality above oneself, distinct class stratification below oneself.”

”Yes, these people are very submissive, very well-behaved, totally willing to obey, appearing to accept all our reasons.”

”But what if they become stronger?!”

”Jiang Ding!”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch shouted sharply.

”Take the Blood River King for example, now that he has ascended to the Refining Nothingness Realm, will he still acknowledge the correctness of Xianmen’s unity between mortals and immortals? Will he not think, ’I am a Great Emperor, how can I be treated the same as these lowly ants?’”

”Be honest with yourself, speak from your own conscience, speak from your own sword heart, people like Blood River King, if they use the various conveniences of Xianmen Sect to become the highest in cultivation, will they still show the same respect and acknowledgment to our reasons?”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch was beyond furious.

In his view, the cultivators from beyond the mother star, be they from the Human Race or Alien Races, every single one of them is a calamity, without the eligibility to become citizens.

”Yes,”

Jiang Ding fell silent for a moment, then spoke.

”If Blood River King reaches the Void Refinement Realm, it is highly likely he will rebel.”

”He will definitely try to transform the Xianmen into a sect, rename Xianmen Sect to Zhen Mountain Immortal Sect, helping himself to whatever he desires, owning everything.”

Blood River King, a cultivator even more despicable than those from Immortal Sects, because he was born in extremely harsh conditions, had no choice but to be so.

Blood River King also has deep sentiments towards his native Mountain Suppressing Sect.

Bang!

”Ah?!”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch smashed the tea table in front of him with a palm, raging, ”You actually knew?! Ah? I thought you were young and naive, always cultivating, oblivious to these matters!”

”Since you knew, why still invite the wolf into the house?!”

”How fortunate the current stability of Xianmen is, why would you want to destroy it?”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch was utterly puzzled.

He was deeply sad, even suspecting that the green-clothed youth in front of him hadn’t healed completely, still influenced by the Flame Stone Great Emperor’s power of flame rules, causing abnormalities in his divine soul.

”Because! I want to become an immortal!”

”More so because, within the domain, according to the dark forest law, civilization is like rowing upstream, if not advancing, then retreating, and a lagging civilization will inevitably perish!”

Jiang Ding stared unyielding at his elder, speaking firmly.

”I become your granny’s immortal!”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch swore profusely.

The green-clothed youth before him gave him a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of Xu Yan before he betrayed the Xianmen Sect, seemingly no different.

Both were elite cultivators of the Xianmen Sect, both possessed unparalleled talent, and both had a strong desire to reach higher realms in their paths.

The difference is, this elite cultivator’s natural talent was even more terrifying; at a young age, he already possessed the battle strength of a quasi-emperor and was expected to comprehend the Power of Order in the Nascent Soul Stage, surpassing past generations of Dari Swordsmen.

And those past generations of Dari Swordsmen often held the crown of being the premier elite of the Nine Spirits Realm.

This meant that the youth in front of him was the strongest elite in tens of thousands of years within the Domain!

If his inheritance was complete, he would inevitably advance to the Refining Nothingness Realm!

At the same time, his ambition was much greater than Xu Yan’s. What Xu Yan spent his whole life striving for and would give up everything else to achieve, this youth regarded merely as a phase in life, not the end goal.

To become an immortal!

To become an immortal!

This goal, madly pursued by countless elites across countless domains, spending their lifetimes without regret, was the target he aimed for.

This green-clothed youth, seemingly normal, was actually half-mad.

”Damn!”

Thinking this, the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch cursed angrily, heartbroken.

”Whether you admit it or not,”

”Senior, this is the ultimate truth within the Domain.”

Jiang Ding gently caressed his sword handle, slowly saying: ”Today, we have encountered the Horned Demon Imperial Clan, the Horned Ming Realm; tomorrow, we will inevitably meet more civilizations on the Immortal Path. If we are not strong enough, we will surely perish.”

”Don’t talk about the small probability.”

”You and I have a lifespan of ten thousand years. With the further development of Xianmen and the Immortal Path, it’s normal to last tens of thousands of years. In such a long span of time, too many things can happen.”

”Even if we do not encounter them and are very lucky, our descendants inevitably will!”

”The Immortal Path is like sailing against the current; not advancing means retreating, and the weak will surely be devoured.”

”The likes of the Blood River King from an alien mother star and the Bone Blood Vine Demon Flower Vine from an alien race are ambitious, and even if their moral and intellectual scores are good, it doesn’t mean they are the same as citizens. If they rise to the top in the future, the possibility of overturning the Xianmen is very high.”

”I agree with this point; indeed, there are risks.”

”But what about the benefits?”

”Senior!”

Jiang Ding also became a bit angry and roared: ”Elites of the Ten Thousand Clans, endless elites from the Outer Realm arise every moment. If we can utilize them all, their incredible wisdom could belong to us!”

”The elites of the countless Human Race walking the same path as us!”

”Their strength can be utilized by us!”

”In the Refining Nothingness path, and paths beyond Refining Nothingness, faced with the massive number of unparalleled elites among the Ten Thousand Clans, what insurmountable hardships could there be?”

”In this process, if any elite goes against the Immortal Sect Law and seeks to overthrow the Xianmen, I swear I will hunt them down until death, annihilating their Divine Soul so they won’t even have the chance to reincarnate, absolutely no forgiveness!”

”Also, even if they are citizens, can we rely only on morals to bind them?”

”Could citizens not harbor thoughts of overturning the Xianmen system, turning the Xianmen into their clan or family? What about Xu Yan and that one surnamed Wang?”

Jiang Ding looked at the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch and declared sharply: ”Senior, don’t think I don’t know, at this moment when Refining Nothingness Cultivators are about to emerge within the Xianmen, during this era when internal power is about to become unbalanced, you are already preparing.”

”Preparing what?”

”Measures for checks and balances, issuing more laws, even military deployments have undergone some changes. The Mother Star Formation Method has evolved dozens of times in a short period, the keys of the Central Array Spirit Computer have multiplied in complexity, the logical operations of the Central Array Spirit Computer have become more than ten times more sensitive, even at the cost of collateral damage.”

”What are these preparations for?”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch remained silent.
