Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”That’s the way, just practice more, and ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand.”

Zhou Xiuyun stood up and assigned each of the three a separate Formation Engraving Chamber.

…

In another room.

Jiang Ding sat on the operator’s chair and infused his Inner Energy into it.

In an instant, his vision blurred, and his perspective seemed to magnify countless times; the originally smooth metal surface now appeared full of uneven pits. A slight shift in viewpoint felt like the world was spinning, causing his perspective to become immensely disordered.

”How amazing…”

Jiang Ding knew that his perspective had magnified many times over, giving him a microcosmic view.

He steadied his mind, waiting for the machine to complete its self-check.

Soon, only an endless world of metal remained in his view, his perspective fixed at the micrometer level with a reference line clearly visible.

Above the sky, a towering pillar that held up the heavens was clearly visible, resembling the barrel of a heavy machine gun.

”Scan the item to be engraved.”

”Connecting to the gold pool…”

Jiang Ding methodically followed the operation manual, and the molten gold wire spat out by the mountainous mechanical hand at the tip of its fingertip finally became clearly visible.

With a thought, Jiang Ding maneuvered the mechanical hand to touch the top of the gun barrel, marking the first stroke of the array diagram from this point.

The micrometer-scale molten gold wire touched the gun barrel and instantly melted a trace that fit perfectly, integrating seamlessly. From this point, the molten gold wire branched out in all directions, and the corner of the array diagram gradually took shape.

All went well until, several minutes later, the molten gold wire collided with a house-sized protrusion on the heavy machine gun barrel under the microscopic view, spilling molten gold wire and engraving a messy trace nearby.

”Failed.”

Jiang Ding sighed. He had been very careful, yet an accident still occurred.

However, he had also roughly understood the difficulty. For someone like him who had mastered the ”Thousand Threads Guide”, practicing for three to four days, four hours each day, should be enough to become as skilled as his mother.

This kind of technical occupation among mortals generally requires five to seven years of training, with a selection process for the relatively excellent individuals.

”Continue.”

Swapping out for a new heavy machine gun barrel, Jiang Ding calmed his heart and continued to practice.

”This, should be applicable to the third layer of the ’Supreme Sword Refining Method (Jiang Ding’s Version)’. The cultivation of iron swords.”

Touching on the fundamental path of the Dao, a thread of his mind dispersed.

The third layer requires the wooden sword to be refined to perfection, then once again infused with Great Sun Essence and Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi to increase the temperature and transform back into a liquid. Then, the array diagram is to be re-engraved into the well-crafted sword embryo.

This step is the most difficult. The better the material of the sword embryo, the more challenging it is. In the past, the Great Sun Sword Pavilion selected nine candidate swordsmen from dozens of Small Worlds, and most of them fell at this very step, dying from deviating into madness.

Mortals, who possess neither Divine Sense nor Mana, must cultivate the highest form of sword refining, causing their Divine Sense to undergo a fundamental change while still mortals and thus gain a huge advantage on the Immortal Path from the outset. The difficulty can be imagined.

Deviation into madness is expected.

The Optical Array Recorder should be able to reduce some of the difficulty.

Of course, only to an extent, enough to turn the survival rate from one out of nine to two out of nine. Only the cultivators with the topmost aptitude, comprehension, and fortune can refine the supreme Sword of Dao Foundation of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion.

But that in itself is commendable.

In those years, the Great Sun Sword Pavilion attacked the Xianmen Sect with reckless abandon, ultimately paying the price with the lives of the Nascent Soul Cultivator and the Sect Elders, leading to the sect’s annihilation. A major reason was the existence of the Magic Arts-Breaking Immortal Gold, with the secondary reason being the technology of the Optical Array Recorder.
