Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Time flew by, and another three years passed.

At the Silver Sky Island dormitory, dark clouds loomed, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. The terrible Nascent Soul Tribulation’s oppressive might enveloped a defense range of hundreds of miles, while creatures quivered in fear, their world darkened as sunlight was obscured.

Boom!

The first bolt of green-violet lightning fell, silently dissolving space, easily penetrating mana domains and shattering the shields of Nascent Soul Monks, pulverizing their spells into dust, leaving no trace.

Such Heavenly Might,

posed a tremendous crisis even to an Immortal of Nascent Soul, directly facing it meant complete obliteration, with both body and Nascent Soul annihilated.

”Nascent Treasure Tribulation...”

Jiang Ding watched from outside the lightning tribulation, silently gazing at the sky and the radiant sword below, as resplendent as the sun itself—a Bluegold Flying Sword.

She dispelled the dark clouds and, under the gloomy lightning tribulation, unfolded her spirit-breaking and law-destroying Sword Domain, impervious to the wind and storm, unshaken by the tribulation for even a fraction of an inch.

Yes, the Taiqing Flying Sword was enduring its Life Treasure Tribulation.

Once it passed through the lightning tribulation, a transformation in both spirit and material would occur, leaping from a treasure to Nascent Treasure, enormously increasing its might and offering its Sword Master a faster cultivation speed, a significant boost from a life treasure.

Influenced by Sword Qi Thunder Sound, in just three years, Jiang Ding had completed the remaining inscriptions of the Earth Evil Prohibition. There was no bottleneck as expected, achieving Earth Evil Perfection, reaching the pinnacle of a treasure, with no further advancement possible.

This was a limit.

Ninety-nine percent of treasures in this world reach their destiny like this, arriving at their endpoint.

Just like the several Cultivators at the Golden Pill Peak who reach the end of their lifetimes.

The material of the treasure, the prohibition inscriptions refined, the will of the refiner, the time spent on refining, the spirit of the treasure, the number of battles it has experienced or the amount of production activity, experiences, and what opportunities it has encountered... and so on. Many things can affect a treasure’s future and destiny.

For most treasures, this is where the refining process comes to an end.

As an Earth Evil Perfection treasure, it was enough to be considered a family heirloom, giving its wielder a significant advantage in conflicts at the Golden Pill level, a display of a sect’s foundation.

No one sought to refine it further, to push beyond this point, for that would be akin to seeking death, with no other possibility in sight.

Occasionally, one in ten thousand treasures, possessing exceptional spirit, would be treasured and preserved, gathering various treasures to assist in surviving tribulations, secret techniques, and meticulously preparing over multiple generations of cultivators, finally selecting an auspicious day to make the leap.

If successful, it would ascend to the heavens.

A Nascent Treasure possesses spirit, and would protect a place or people according to the refiner’s will. Familial powers might transform overnight, a Golden Pill power could easily be obliterated, and one might become the dominant force of a region.

Of course, it could also attract the greed of an Immortal of Nascent Soul.

If failed, the efforts and opportunities of more than a dozen generations of cultivators would vanish into thin air.

Once Jiang Ding had confirmed the Taiqing Flying Sword was indeed at Earth Evil Perfection without any hidden flaws, she did not hesitate or search for any Life Treasure Tribulation opportunities. She simply threw the sword into the sky and began the Life Treasure Tribulation.

This is what was unfolding before her.

Boom!

The thunder tribulation that had brewed for months boomed down, shattering mana domains, dissolving space, with might that horrified Nascent Soul Monks.

Wooong!

The Taiqing Flying Sword, targeted by the tribulation’s aura, lazily wiggled its Bluegold sword body as a response, a sign of respect for the tribulation.

Very respectful, not taking it lightly.

Crack!

The green-violet lightning met with no resistance, striking directly onto the foot-long Bluegold sword body, with the terrifying force of destruction fully impacting it.
