Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1361: Chapter 1329: The Great Sun Divinity Transformation Strategy is Introduced

“I understand your thoughts.”

The representative of the mortal citizens nodded and sat down.

There were many things he didn’t understand, but that was fine. The Central Array Spirit Computer would translate for him, explaining everything in the most objective manner and with the simplest analogies.

“Great Sun Celestial Lord,”

“If we were to continuously absorb unparalleled elites of the Ten Thousand Clans across the Endless Star Domain and grant them citizenship,”

Yuan’s avatar stood up and posed a question.

“Then, if one day an alien citizen ascends beyond the Harmonization realm—a realm none of us can rival—and decides to overthrow the Xianmen Sect, what should we do?”

“It must be noted that ascending to higher realms often alters one’s character due to the lack of constraints.”

“Alien citizens have a particularly strong tendency in this regard because they lack racial identity and did not grow up within the Xianmen Sect, lacking the profound emotions we share.”

“Wise beings are extremely complex entities, and moral assessments cannot guarantee absolute reliability.”

“If such a situation arises, what then?”

Yuan voiced his concerns with a trace of worry.

His words reflected the collective anxieties of many Immortal Sect Citizens.

“Thank you for your question.”

Jiang Ding nodded slightly.

“Here is my perspective.”

“Firstly, if such a cultivator emerges, the Xianmen Sect will inevitably face enormous risks. These are inherent risks of the Xianmen Sect itself, exemplified by figures such as Xu Yan, who died thousands of years ago. Or even when you were the first to ascend to the Refining Nothingness realm, the sect treated it as if it was facing a dire threat.”

“In this world where Immortal Dao experts wield boundless power, such risks naturally exist.”

“The emergence of alien citizen cultivators does indeed amplify some of these existing risks—this is a fact.”

“But I believe that the benefits gained by the Xianmen Sect far outweigh those risks. The sect is never truly secure; the Eight Great Immortal Sects may encounter unfamiliar Immortal Dao civilizations at any moment. We must grow stronger as quickly as possible, even if risks exist—an undeniable necessity.”

“Secondly, you ask: if the Xianmen Sect spawns an alien citizen who ascends beyond the Harmonization realm and whose Dao Heart suddenly shifts, intending to overthrow the sect—what should we do?”

“My answer is: engage in a war to the death.”

“If we lose, then the Xianmen Sect must accept the fate of annihilation. The laws of survival between domains dictate the principle of the strong devouring the weak.”

In this world, nothing is entirely without risk.

“Life or death?”

Yuan furrowed his brow and sat down.

It was certainly in line with the Sword Cultivator’s crazed and extreme mindset, and not overly surprising.

“Life or death.”

Jiang Ding nodded.

“If we encounter an alien citizen who ascends beyond the Harmonization realm, their growth would never be without trace. The Xianmen Sect would not indiscriminately cultivate anyone, as seen in Immortal Sects where Taoist disciples are born destined to have everything.”

“Xianmen cultivators establish themselves in the world through battle merits and scientific contributions.”

“If this alien citizen ascends to realms beyond Harmonization, then they must have made tremendous contributions to the Xianmen Sect—at the very least, conceptualizing cultivation methods and formation techniques beyond the Harmonization realm. This is highly probable.”

“In other words, even if the worst-case scenario occurs, the Xianmen Sect would not be defenseless. Suppressing any threat would be entirely feasible.”

Just like Jiang Ding, who climbed the ranks step by step—he never received any unjustified spirit stones or government funds from the Xianmen Sect. Everything was earned through battle merit rewards, scientific contributions, patent rewards, and loans, which were granted only due to executing arduous tasks and provided exceptional convenience.

Without those battle merits and contributions, Jiang Ding, despite his Xiantian Sword Body, would have no hope of receiving such immense support from the Sect.

Citizenship equality,

Equality of citizenship!

No matter how extraordinary your talent is, it has nothing to do with me. Why should anyone support you unconditionally?

This kind of equality not only comes with privileges but also entails disadvantages. Both coexist—no citizen is granted unconditional support or resource favoritism by the Xianmen Sect.

“The developmental trajectory of one beyond Harmonization…”

Yuan sank into deep thought.

Surrounding him, many Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarchs likewise fell into contemplation.

Clearly, this reasoning resonated with them strongly, striking at their core and commanding their serious attention.

If a terrifying alien genius arises, while posing immense risks to the sect, it also guarantees an explosive acceleration in the Xianmen Sect’s Immortal Science. Without this, that alien genius could never secure their needs—resources, computational power, talent support—all would be out of question.

“The policy of alien citizenship is a path of disaster,”

“All these arguments are merely shortsighted, rash nonsense, utter rubbish!”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch stood up, his expression cold. He was not speaking to question but to rally the citizen representatives, seeking their collective support.

“The Great Sun Celestial Lord says the Xianmen Sect lacks talent?”

“No, it doesn’t.”

“If we lack talent, we simply expand our citizen population. If one trillion isn’t enough, then we make it two trillion, five trillion, ten trillion!”

“Where could citizen talent ever be scarce?”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch looked toward the surrounding citizen representatives, declaring loudly: “Take today, for instance, just three years ago in the eastern part of Gan Province, a baby with a Primordial Magnetic Dao Body was born!”

“During his birth, celestial phenomena descended—countless Primordial Magnetic Rule Runes were manifested, with starlight shooting straight into the heavens.”

“Born into an Immortal Sect military family, his father is a martyr, his mother a widow… In the future, he is bound to become the backbone of the Xianmen Sect!”

“And this is with only a population of slightly over a hundred billion citizens at present. When, a millennium later, the Xianmen Sect boasts a population of one trillion citizens, how many talents might emerge with aptitude surpassing ours?”

“Citizen geniuses and elites will arise like fish surging through rivers, endless and inexhaustible.”

“We don’t need to take risks or absorb outsiders. Our own citizens can guarantee our development and prosperity. We can fight, kill, research, and live and die alongside our comrades without outsiders!”

“We don’t need them!”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch roared.

An ancient Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarch, who had once participated in the battle that led to the fall of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, stood with red eyes, visibly emotional and choking on tears—a testament to the turmoil in his heart.

Around him, many Xianmen cultivators were moved.

A palpable resonance rose in the crowd.

How could they not love the Xianmen Sect as it was now?

A pure citizenship, without external needs—a vision verging on utopia, a belief not in gods but in the conviction and pride in their chosen path.

Many Xianmen cultivators wavered, turning their gaze toward the Great Sun Celestial Lord, seeking his thoughts.

“The Xianmen Sect lacks Immortal inheritances.”

Jiang Ding spoke calmly.

“The Sect must look outward, must obtain external reference for its inheritance.”

“Spontaneously developing from scratch is too difficult.”

“Just as the Sect was almost trapped at the Refining Nothingness realm for nearly ten thousand years.”

And seeking externally necessitates acknowledging the unifying potential of Outer Realm cultivators. Total plunder and slaughter is impossible—it simply won’t work.

If others couldn’t defeat you, does it mean they wouldn’t destroy their own inheritances before you could lay claim?

Consider the Harmonization Scriptures of the Heavenly Ghost God Sect in Tianyuan Domain, or the Emperor’s Scripture of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan in Horned Ming Realm—neither has yielded even a trace to this day.

Killing and plundering alone cannot secure everything.
