Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1524: Chapter 1492: The Immortal Sect Fleet Advances Forward

Jiang Ding passed through the domain channel.

He returned once again to the Tianyuan Domain, in a severely injured state.

The moment he appeared in the Tianyuan Domain, a cold will surfaced in his mind.

“Re-establish connection…”

“Welcome, esteemed Commander of the Ninth Army.”

The Legion Array Spirit of the Immortal Sect Ninth Army immediately detected the highest commander, and authority was instantly transferred from the temporary Sun Destroying True Venerable and others to the Great Sun Celestial Lord.

At this moment, Jiang Ding’s will merged with the will of the Ninth Army Fleet.

He could clearly perceive the presence of a vast Harmonization-level army formation and the will of more than five billion cultivators within, each strong or weak, but all possessing an independent will, not thinking themselves different in personality from the will as bright as the sun in the sky.

Equality, independence, autonomy.

Aside from differences in duty and power, everyone was an equal individual.

At the same time, in another aspect, these independently existing wills were connected by some commonality, forming a cohesive whole.

“Salute!”

“Esteemed Commander!”

Noticing the attention of the supreme commander, Sun Destroying True Venerable, Pingyang True Venerable, and others, along with Heavenly Magnet Monarch, Huo Baosan Sky Lords, Hua Teng Heavenly Monarch, as well as the entire Ninth Army’s officers and troops, saluted uniformly.

Unlike any sect’s Taoist Soldier Troops, these cultivators, from the most basic Foundation-building cultivators to Refining Nothingness cultivators, looked upon the commander with respect, reverence, and determination, but not with fanaticism or loyalty; they did not swear allegiance to the commander.

This was the army of the Immortal Sect, the fleet of the citizens, not the army of an individual.

“Greetings, fellow Daoists.”

Jiang Ding returned the salute.

“Now, the latest orders from the Immortal Sect Military Committee are being issued. Please read carefully, understand the strategic intentions of the Immortal Sect, and prepare thoroughly for future wars.”

He transmitted the orders and strategic goals of the Ninth Army throughout the military.

The army of the Immortal Sect was not just a machine executing missions, but citizens fighting for a cause.

In extreme situations, if defeated by the enemy and losing their organization, they could still spontaneously reorganize, restore order to the best of their ability, and continue performing military tasks for the Immortal Sect until death.

While the will of the Ninth Army Fleet pondered and sorted through internally, Jiang Ding simultaneously sent notices to the Divine Machine True Venerable of the Second Army and Wanji True Venerable of the Third Army.

“Have the two seniors received the orders?”

Jiang Ding inquired.

“Indeed, so it is.”

Divine Machine True Venerable nodded slightly, “Our section has handed over the defense of the Nine Spirits Realm to the second-line citizen fleet and conscripted forces and is moving towards the Tianyuan Domain, expected to arrive on March seventeenth.”

“Our section will accompany the Central Army Group to attack the Alliance of Ten Thousand Clans Eighteen Domains and prepare for subsequent garrison and occupation of the core domain.”

“The Third Army will do the same.”

Wanji True Venerable’s mechanical voice was precise, but one could hear the blazing enthusiasm in his tone, “Great Sun, once we depart, the domain channels between the Tianyuan Domain will be left to you.”

“Do not let the logistics channel of the Immortal Sect be severed.”

“Of course, if all is lost, retreat to the Tianyuan Domain, destroy the domain channels to preserve oneself, and even the Central Army Group on expedition has ways.”

“Certainly, I will not disappoint the trust of the seniors.”

Jiang Ding solemnly vowed.

“Are you going to clear out the Eight Great Xian Sects’ Taoist Soldier Troops next?”

“Should we wait for Divine Machine to arrive?”

Wanji True Venerable inquired.

“No need, Senior Wanji, we two can handle it.”

…

Tianyuan Domain Boundary Channel.

Here, the Immortal Sect and the Eight Great Xian Sects’ Taoist Soldiers gathered, relying on numerous formation methods to hold their position, preventing raids from the forces of the Ancient Divine Domain, maintaining strict vigilance, never relaxing for a moment.

Compared to the uniform fleet of the Immortal Sect, the Eight Great Xian Sects’ Taoist Soldier Troops were much more conspicuous.

The Taiyi Green Wood Taoist Soldiers of the Green Wood Immortal Sect appeared like a forest, composed of numerous thousand-year-old tree demons, standing there like a sea of trees growing in the starry sky;

The Ancient Beast Blood Taoist Soldiers of the Wanshou Immortal Sect consisted of various exotic beasts with powerful bloodlines, roaring continuously, making one’s heart tremble;

The Five Elements Undying Taoist Soldiers of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect were composed of various fire spirits, wood spirits, earth spirits, gold spirits, and water spirits, aggregating and dispersing at will, naturally proficient in Five Elements Magic, with a wave of their hand unleashing a sea of Five Elements Magic from above, engulfing all;

And the Incense Fire Taoist Soldiers of the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace…

Such displays were all extraordinary, akin to heavenly soldiers and generals.

However,

At a certain moment.

Bang!

The stationed Immortal Sect Ninth Army and Wanji True Venerable’s Third Army suddenly erupted. The Starry Sky Fortress, Air-Space Mothership, warships and fighters, and Star Sky City soared, and military formation runes veiled all directions, controlling all Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, and then countless ship cannons fired thirty-six salvos in unison.

Terrifying alarms and threats instantly enveloped the Taoist Soldier Troops of the Eight Great Xian Sects.

“Enemy attack!”

“Eastern Devil School betrayed the treaty, quickly…”

The Taoist Soldier Troops commanded by the True Venerables of the Refining Nothingness from the Eight Great Xian Sects reacted instantly.

In fact, staying with the Eastern Devil School, they hadn’t relaxed for a moment, always on guard, almost in a state of imminent battle, incredibly vigilant.

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

Bang!

Bang bang!

The entire Eastern Devil School army’s cannon salvos rained down, instantly destroying numerous formation method nodes of the Eight Great Xian Sects’ Taoist Soldier Troops, crippling many military formation heavy artifacts, causing a brief operational imbalance.

No matter how the Eight Great Xian Sects Refining Nothingness cultivators commanding the Taoist Soldiers struggled, it was all in vain.

The Immortal Sect’s Ninth Army and Second Army launched a surprise attack, both in military strength and army formation mastery, which far surpassed them, the disparity was too despairing.

The obstacles to the Immortal Sect’s unification of the Nine Spirits Realm have never been these Taoist Soldiers.

“Swordsman!”

“I’ve heard that Sword Cultivators are known to keep their promises, why betray the treaty so suddenly?”

Xuanwu Heavenly Palace’s Dingding Venerable roared in anger, “How can you act so, without fear of a flaw in the Sword Heart? Aren’t you afraid our sect’s ancestor will react with a mutual destruction move?”

“This would be a catastrophe for the Human Race and Nine Spirits Realm!”

He pleaded earnestly.

“Swordsman…”

Nearby, the Refining Nothingness cultivators from the Green Wood Immortal Sect and others were equally furious.

But unexpectedly, they were all rational, without excessively aggressive actions.

The noisy din, various words, and the Divine Senses of Refining Nothingness cultivators momentarily disturbed this starry sky, chaotic to the extreme.

“Gentlemen,”

Jiang Ding from the Ninth Army Fleet Group raised his hand slightly.

Instantly, silence reigned.

“You may have already guessed, which is good.”

Jiang Ding said calmly, “Indeed, Xuanwu seniors… once again they were the first to violate the treaty.”

“The Immortal Sect’s actions are merely justified retaliation, not a breach of trust, all according to rightful domain ethics.”

“Ancestors they…”

Dingding Venerable and others felt a lurch in their hearts.

They seemed to harbor many doubts, fears, with the domain channels severing and blocking all information, leaving them in a dark ocean.

“However, the Immortal Sect remains benevolent.”

“The Immortal Sect is unwilling to act against you now.”

Jiang Ding said indifferently, “I ask the Daoists above Nascent Soul from various Sect to come to the Immortal Sect Military Academy’s temporary teaching base for some discussions, to jointly comprehend the military formation Dao.”

“The discipline of the Military Academy is strict; please do not venture out without permission.”

“Those who forcefully venture out will be treated with battlefield insubordination charges.”

“What do you all think?”

Jiang Ding looked at the Refining Nothingness cultivators of the Eight Great Xian Sects, seriously inquiring.

Under such serious words, traces of cold killing intent spread, enveloping everyone, awaiting their response.

Will they choose to enroll at the temporary teaching base of the Immortal Sect Military Academy?

Or reject?
