Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1390: Chapter 1358 Playboy Demon

Jiang Ding saw a flash before his eyes.

He found himself in a mortal royal city named Liu Country, with bustling streets, the cries of vendors hawking their wares, actors performing, and the urgent sounds of the army delivering emergency messages… all vividly lifelike.

The surrounding world was vast, seemingly infinite.

“Chunfeng Building,”

“The name is ordinary, but the grandeur isn’t lacking…”

Jiang Ding was astonished.

This was a super large illusion array, revealing a royal city of hundreds of thousands of people, covering dozens of miles.

Among them, tens of thousands of mortals and several thousand cultivators were real. The rest, though illusions, appeared just as real as living people to even Foundation-building cultivators, and not easily discernible to Golden Pill monks.

Among these thousands of cultivators, there were both Qi Refining and Foundation-building ones. They were either beautiful or handsome in appearance, playing roles such as emperor, concubines, ministers, military generals, straightforward advisors, or traitorous ministers, courtiers, bodyguards from rival nations, the oiran…

And so on, each different.

They performed their roles with great skill; apart from being overly distinguished in appearance, they fit their roles perfectly.

“Report…”

“Liang Country’s three hundred thousand cavalry have launched a massive invasion…”

At this moment, something major was happening here. The enemy country launched a massive invasion, the plot had reached this stage, causing a wave of panic.

“Impressive,”

“Truly someone dedicated to their work.”

After watching for a while, Jiang Ding expressed his admiration.

Indeed, people have expertise in different fields.

If he were placed in this field, he estimated he’d be overwhelmed by these people, unworthy of becoming an opponent.

“Guest, please excuse our average skills.”

Suddenly, a vendor selling sesame cakes by the roadside came to life, approached Jiang Ding, and made a respectful bow, “This building is just a third-rank array; if you want to have some fun, you must wear a ‘Disorder Talisman’ to fully enjoy it, otherwise, it wouldn’t be perfect.”

“Please rest assured, Chunfeng Building’s credibility is as solid as true gold, and the Disorder Talisman can be removed at any time without causing you any harm.”

The vendor solemnly stated.

He was a Foundation-building cultivator, yet he wasn’t overly cautious in front of a Golden Pill monk.

“Tell me about the ways to play here.”

Jiang Ding was noncommittal.

“Elder,”

“This building offers three scenarios: heaven, earth, and human. You can choose among three kinds of identities.”

The vendor bowed respectfully and explained, “For the human scenario, you can choose identities such as bodyguards or lower-ranking civilian and military officials. As for the women you encountered… may I ask boldly, elder, do you prefer women? Or both men and women?”

“Women.”

“Oh, elder, in that case, if you choose the human scenario, the women you encounter would be wives of bodyguards, lower-ranking civilian and military officials, Qi Refining Female Cultivators, and such.”

“Similarly, the earth scenario involves mid-ranking civilian officers or generals.”

“And the heaven scenario includes concubines, nobility, and most of them are Foundation Establishment female cultivators. Golden Pill cultivators are rare and require special situations to appear.”

“That’s basically it. For further details, please check here.”

The vendor respectfully handed a jade slip.

Their conversation was neither too loud nor too soft, yet it didn’t affect people around continuing with their tasks. There were still people selling, carrying loads, patrolling, as if they were in two different worlds.

“Not bad.”

“But, I am a gentleman.”

Jiang Ding nodded slightly.

He handed out a small pile of Spirit Stones—the earth-rank amount, enough to bankrupt a late stage Foundation-building cultivator.

“Understood,”

“Arranging it for you right away.”

The vendor accepted the Spirit Stones, bowed once more, and disappeared.

The surrounding illusion array operated, misty and indistinct. After a few breaths, Jiang Ding found himself inside a green-tiled room, and a voice appeared beside his ear: Yang Ning, son of the Minister of Public Works, sister… aunt… childhood sweetheart… In three days, father will host a banquet at the residence inviting the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Wu Qinglin’s family, whose wife Li Family is renowned for her beauty…

“Truly professional…”

Jiang Ding shook his head slightly, cleared away many distracting thoughts, and ignored the external bustling.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw at the door a maid in a hurried pace, wearing a pink skirt, short of breath.

“Young master, the madam is furious, finding out you didn’t do your homework yesterday…”

This maid in the pink skirt had a pure appearance and a highly curvy figure, expressing her concern.

Her every movement was precise, not appearing flirtatious at all, yet arousing imaginations and making one’s mouth dry… and this was just the beginning.

However, Jiang Ding did not respond, merely staring at her.

“Young master…”

The maid in the pink skirt was bewildered.

“Why are you called the Playboy Demon?”

Jiang Ding asked.

“Young master, have you become muddled with your studies?”

The maid in the pink skirt was taken aback.

“Because you love to kill husbands to steal wives and daughters, then mold them into extremely loose beings before releasing them, leaving traces in the cultivation world of over a dozen countries nearby.”

“Thus the name.”

“Therefore, you deserve death.”

Jiang Ding declared.

He was not someone who killed the innocent; those who appeared in front of him deserved death, thus he killed, fitting his Dao Heart.

“Young master…”

The worry disappeared from the maid in the pink skirt’s face, turning cold: “I thought I was lucky today, to chance upon a Fifth-rank top-grade Peach Blossom Green Stone from a Golden Pill junior’s storage bag.”

“As expected, another fellow practitioner setting a trap.”

“But do you think, how have I lived so freely until today?”

He revealed a mocking smirk.

Little did he imagine, the young cultivator before him didn’t even glance his way, merely reaching out a hand to snatch a handsome cultivator from the void who had already fled tens of thousands of kilometers away, with late stage Divinity Transformation cultivation.

“The true body!”

The maid in the pink skirt was in disbelief, horrified.

“Spare my life, elder…”

The handsome cultivator was utterly terrified, kowtowing and begging for mercy, his spirit crumbling instantly.

Before he could kneel down, a palm softly imprinted on his forehead.

Jiang Ding then stood up.

He turned around and left, walking towards the outside of Chunfeng Building.

Behind him, the handsome cultivator collapsed into a mass of spiritual light, leaving nothing behind, and so did his clones in various places.

Chunfeng Building continued to operate normally, without any changes.

The Playboy Demon, a Nascent Soul cultivator, naturally wouldn’t work in such a third-rank market; he had only been lurking here, and his disappearance wouldn’t affect anything here.

…

Tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Jiang Ding flew in the sky, silently recalling the memories of this late stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Compared to many low-ranking and middle-level cultivators, the memory of this wandering diabolism Nascent Soul cultivator was indeed more extensive, with a clearer understanding of the political situation in the Thunder Flame Domain.

“Thousands of years ago, the patriarch of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect suddenly fell, creating a huge power vacuum.”

“Yet for some reason, the Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain did not launch an attack, opting instead to hold their mountain gate without stepping out until over a thousand years ago, when the Blood Lake Ancestor emerged and attacked the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect, forcing them into continuous retreat, losing cities and lands, and by now, losing two-thirds of their territory.”

“The Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain seems to have a tendency to unify this domain…”

Jiang Ding had no interest in the Playboy Demon’s various cultivation method secret techniques and secretive dealings, focusing solely on the political situation of these lands.
