Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

A blue-golden leaf fell from the sky, passing through the middle of a stone pillar thick as a grown man’s waist without any Mana or Divine Sense aiding it.

The stone pillar collapsed with a thunderous crash, the break smooth as a mirror.

”Since foundation building, I have refined the Melted Magnetic Crystal Core every day, unknowingly for over a decade now.”

Jiang Ding examined the blue-golden leaf in his hand carefully.

The edges were sharp, with a ring of semi-transparent Light of Yuanmagnet faintly visible, an important component of the Electromagnetic cannon’s Ampere force.

There was also a layer of golden Gang Qi, refined from the Gold Melt Fruit Sword Tempering Liquid acquired from the Nine Heavens Secret Realm. It was quite sharp at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but against Golden Pill cultivators, it was somewhat negligible.

”Without adding any Divine Sense or mana, the Light of Yuanmagnet should have the attack power of a cultivator in the later stages of Qi refining,” he said.

Inside the jade bottle, more than half of the Nascent Soul Stage Melted Magnetic Crystal Core liquid, which was obtained from the true disciples of the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace in the Huangtong Small World, had been consumed.

”The further along, the more difficult it becomes to add Melted Magnetic Crystal Core to the Taiqing Flying Sword during smelting; there’s a repelling force occurring internally. Like repels like; the speed is getting slower and slower, and it often takes several days to merge a single strand,” he said.

He let go of his hand, and the blue-gold tree leaf floated up on its own, flying back to its original branch and clinging firmly, swaying with the wind from time to time.

”But no matter, there’s plenty of time,” he said.

Jiang Ding silently observed his Elixir Field with his Divine Sense.

Within it surged his azure electromagnetic mana, which after more than a decade of accumulation, had filled more than half of his Elixir Field. Occasionally, Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi and Great Sun Essence would be refined, transformed through the meridians into a thread of liquid mana and merging into the Elixir Field.

”There are no real bottlenecks in cultivation; it’s slow, but a steady accumulation,” he said.

”Fifteen years and 274 days remain until the latter stage of Foundation Building, give or take three days,” he calculated.

Jiang Ding closed his eyes, entering the state of cultivation that had been his constant daily practice for many years.

More than ten days later, an Escape Light flew towards the sky, weaving between the branches of the Divine Tree of Heaven, searching for a specific leaf.

As his cultivation base grew deeper, the time he spent in class became more and more irregular.

You could go once every three days, or attend class once every half a month or two months—the teachers had all stored your individual progress, and it did not affect anything.

But every twenty years, within an academic year, you must attend the minimum required class hours and then pass the exams for language, mathematics, moral thinking, and the Air-Space Combat System course, among others.

Finding a leaf marked with a scorched yellow imprint, his Divine Sense touched and unlocked the door, entering it.

”Ding dong!”

”Welcome to Qingfeng University Engineering Building-Digging Laboratory for the Rescue of the Great Sun Ruins.”

Amidst the reminder from the Array Spirit,

a grey foggy sky appeared before his eyes. Pavilions, towers, and building ruins were scattered everywhere, with sword scars splitting the earth, and glass-like deep pits emerged continually.

He flew tens of kilometers towards the center of the laboratory, where five or six senior fellow students were still bustling about busily.

A tall sister with long legs looked haggard, with two prominent dark circles under her eyes to underscore the tragedy of an engineering female student.

”Ahem!”

”Sister-in-law Wu Mengsha, how long have you all been toiling away in the lab?” Jiang Ding asked, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
