Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1464: Chapter 1432: Changes in the Heaven and Earth Rules

The Xianmen Sect’s team of Void Refinement experts conducted consultations for a full thirty years.

During this period, they discovered that the Divine Soul of the Great Sun Celestial Lord possesses extraordinary resilience, and contains something akin to the Six Dao Reincarnation, rendering him immortal and indestructible.

As long as he is not instantly and completely destroyed, his Sword Soul gradually develops an adaptability, attempting to eliminate the foreign Sword Qi in his Divine Soul and flesh.

However, equally terrifying is that this strand of quasi-Harmonization foreign Sword Qi seems adept at dealing with Sword Cultivators.

Once this foreign Sword Qi is adapted by the Material Sun Sword Soul, it instantly undergoes another transformation, rendering years of mutant evolution of the Material Sun Sword Soul all for naught.

If not for this strand of foreign Sword Qi being diluted multiple times and only a faint trace remaining, the Great Sun Celestial Lord would have been destroyed ten times over by now.

Now, relying on the Xianmen Sect’s healing capsule and the incessant supply of Taiyi Green Wood Life Essence, the Great Sun Celestial Lord barely withstands this sliver of advanced power.

Finally, thirty years later, a breakthrough was made in Yuan and others’ research.

“Great discovery!”

“Significant discovery!”

Yuan, exceptionally excited, pointed at a newly discovered mana spectrum, saying, “Look, this strand of foreign Sword Qi is evidently supported by Thunder Rules and the Sword Dao Heavenly Dao Law Net. The master of this Sword Qi has comprehended Thunder and Sword Dao Rules to an extremely profound degree, providing us much to learn from.”

“But that’s not the crux!”

“The crux is, we’ve found an extremely subtle change between the Thunder Rules and those between Heaven and Earth, approximately a 0.00974 percent change!”

“Heavens, the Heavenly Dao actually has distinctions!”

“Or is it a change?”

Yuan was immensely shocked, making every effort to point out this change to the nearby Xianmen Sect Void Refinement practitioners.

“Change?”

Wanji True Venerate and others, after a careful look, were immensely shaken, as though witnessing the collapse of principles and theories long held as inviolable.

Heaven and Earth Rules, immutable since ancient times!

This is the norm among domains; all Void Refinement Cultivators and Harmonization God Monarchs can only utilize them, unable to alter a single bit, akin to the absurdity of changing the law of universal gravitation.

However, now, this phenomenon has been entirely shattered!

Heaven and Earth Rules are not just utilizable; they are alterable!

“Everyone,”

“Could it be,”

“Is there a possibility…”

Yuan’s mind surged, eyes gleaming brightly, “Beyond Harmonization might be a process of altering Heaven and Earth Rules, directing them to change in some way. From utilizing rules to altering them, there must be an incredibly terrifying power contained within. This could be why the existence beyond Harmonization is so powerful, living over a hundred thousand years…”

“Altering rules?”

The surrounding Xianmen Sect Void Refinement practitioners were astounded by this wild conjecture and inference.

Subsequently, they fell into all kinds of speculations.

If rules can be altered, could it be possible to create something from nothing, conjuring the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure one desires…

Could one target a mutation to create a species, special elixirs, special flora and fauna one desires…

Could one create the cultivation method one desires…

This is simply the authority of a creator!

Of course, those above Harmonization may not necessarily have such abilities, but theoretically, when the rules of the cosmos are completely and thoroughly altered, these could be achieved.

Countless Xianmen Sect Void Refinement practitioners were exhilarated, discussing for quite a while before refocusing Divine Soul computational power on the treatment of the Great Sun Celestial Lord.

“If this quasi-eighth rank power comes from rules undergoing subtle changes.”

“Then,”

Yuan presented such a hypothesis, “Could the class-world Heavenly Dao consciousness within the Starry Sky World-Locking Array possibly conflict with such rule changes?”

“Or, to put it in anthropomorphic terms, the rule-based consciousness, class-Heavenly Dao consciousness, should have an instinctive hostility towards such changes.”

“Could this be possible?”

Think of it and do it.

The Xianmen Sect Void Refinement practitioners were highly efficient, completing an experimental test within a Starry Sky World-Locking Array in just a few days, with results forwarded to relevant cultivators.

Facts proved it completely correct.

Yuan was indeed the pinnacle of celestial and Taoist prodigies in this domain, terrifyingly accurate, as he precisely judged this possibility from minimal conditions.

The sole issue was that indeed, the conflict between rules emerged, and indeed, the power unleashed was formidable—formidable enough to also obliterate Jiang Ding’s piece of flesh.

Both perished together, not even ash remaining.

The Xianmen Sect Void Refinement practitioners were not disheartened, continuing experimentation persistently. Once a direction was confirmed, the entire Xianmen Sect’s research strength erupted, treating it as significantly as the past Nine Spirits Realm Moon Expedition, surpassing the power of the entire Nine Spirits Realm at that time.

Finally, after countless failures and consuming numerous Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures, Yuan and the others succeeded in creating a result one hundred and ninety-seven years later.

Yuan named it ‘Gradual-Dissolution Alien Rule Great Skill’.

Under this skill, which requires the Harmonization-level army formation of Xianmen Sect guarding the Mother Star to perform, the ever-increasingly potent foreign Sword Qi, locked in life-or-death battle with the Material Sun Sword Soul but never faltering, began to disintegrate.

To protect Jiang Ding’s already extremely fragile Divine Soul, this process would be very slow, estimated to last a millennium.

Thus, the tense state of Xianmen was relieved, with various aspects gradually returning to order, except for the continued vigilance against entities beyond Harmonization.

Over three hundred years later.

The Material Sun Sword Soul, after endless battles, finally achieved a partial victory. The spiritual sparks within the Sword Soul converged with a fist-sized piece of intact flesh, nurturing a complete consciousness once more.

Jiang Ding opened his eyes.

He saw, surrounding him, over a dozen pairs of bright, shining eyes fixed on him.

“Esteemed seniors, long time no see.”

Jiang Ding smiled awkwardly.

Now, he was in the form of nothing more than a brain, not a humanoid figure, just a small brain, with thinking ability and Divine Soul computational power far less than before.

“Are there enemies beyond Harmonization?”

“Do we need to flee?”

Yuan immediately asked.

“No need.”

“No beings beyond Harmonization were encountered; Xianmen is currently not in danger.”

Jiang Ding thought for a moment, saying, “Looking back now, it should have only been a quasi-eighth rank Sword Talisman. The specific reason cannot be revealed for now, as this would bring an unresolvable danger to Xianmen. Detailed information has already been reported to the Central Array Spirit Computer, and I have received permission for temporary sealing of the reason.”

He presented a document to the surrounding Xianmen Sect Void Refinement practitioners.

Yuan and others took the document, carefully inspecting it to confirm it was indeed the Central Array Spirit Computer’s permission. They communicated with the Central Array Spirit Computer, receiving the response that it would bring an unspeakably terrible danger to Xianmen and should not be revealed to any living being.

Of course, if Yuan and others forcibly wanted to view it, they could do so, attaining authorization from the citizens’ assembly to overturn the logical decision already made by the Central Array Spirit Computer.
