Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Releasing the influence of the sword intent on the surrounding space, the spatial high-speed passage created by the Sword Qi Thunder Sound collapsed into invisibility, as the enormous force constantly present in the outside world repaired any abnormal state of space.

He casually struck out with his sword.

Straight as a line, the spatial fissure was pitch-black and deep.

”Still unable to carve out a ’Path of Space,’ it falls short compared to Yu Qianzi’s swordsmanship.”

Jiang Ding shook his head.

To this day, he had come to understand the shape of the four-dimensional structure that is space. What seemed to be a straight cut was, in reality, not straight at all, taking many detours. Only by grasping the spatial nodes everywhere and twisting the path could he minimize the resistance encountered by the flying sword and maximize its speed.

”No matter, practice makes perfect.”

He wasn’t bothered, and after carefully observing for a moment, he struck with another sword, tearing through space.

A divine soul five times that of his peers, that was his immense advantage.

In comprehending swordsmanship, this was like reaping tenfold rewards for every part he sowed, far surpassing Yu Qianzi in efficiency.

The very essence of being a Dari Swordsman is to naturally stand at the summit of swordsmanship within the domain.

The reason for the gap with the Taiyin Swordman was merely the difference in sword Dao education the two had received, a gap brought about by circumstances beyond their control.

However, with such deliberate practice with a clear path like now, he was confident that he would rapidly grow and eventually reach the peak of Sword Qi Thunder Sound.

His days went like this.

Attending classes, developing the Great Sun Nascent Soul Art, writing the paper ”Immortal Technique·Sixteen Iterations of the Prototype of the Destroying Golden Sword,” refining flying swords and warships, practicing swordsmanship, and traveling through the Soulless Desert...

He made progress every day.

Time passed without him much noticing, just doing some routine things, just another cultivation cycle, and before he knew it, another year had gone by.

...

Yellow sand filled the sky, and storms were everywhere, but all had an end at some point.

Concealing his figure, a travel-weary Jiang Ding looked up, his gaze settling on a hint of green in the distance, and a feeling of warmth arose spontaneously.

”Tushan Immortal City... The Tushan Immortal City that I built with my own hands from the wilderness, I see you once again.”

Jiang Ding lightly tapped his finger, and a basketball-sized puddle of silvery-white liquid fell to the ground, transforming into a young man in green. The two exchanged glances, then went their separate ways.

It was another Golden Pill-level nanoscale liquid state robot, designated as Jin-94.

This wasn’t one of the free-use models but one he had bought from the Xianmen Science Institute with over two billion low-grade spirit stones mixed with some fourth-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It was intended to replace him roaming the lands of the Three Kingdoms.

As for the Jin-92, which was protected by a sixth-tier ’Eradicate Karma’ talisman, it was still lurking in the Black Snow Prairie.

Initially, Jin-92 had infiltrated the talisman-protected Beast Spirit Immortal City with the intention to launch a surprise attack. However, as cultivators like Yu Zhong switched allegiance, it was not used, so it simply left the Beast Spirit Immortal City and continued to lie low.

It carried a heavy responsibility, continuing to watch over the development of the big picture in the Northern Plains, and... to construct an ultra-long-distance teleportation formation capable of spanning the Soulless Desert. More such formations were planned to be built throughout the Northern Plains in the future.

The cost of each ultra-long-distance teleportation formation was about one billion low-grade spirit stones.

It might seem expensive, but that’s the price set by Xianmen.

If it were a Northern Plains family building it, the cost could be ten times more, not to mention the scarcity of the related spatial teleportation technology that was locked away, making it unattainable no matter the amount of money offered.

Every ultra-long-distance teleportation formation in the Northern Plains was jointly funded by the 28 families of the righteous and demonic alliance due to its extremely high strategic value, making it inaccessible to outsiders.
