Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

More than ten days later, Jiang Ding opened his eyes, the bright light in his pupils flashing briefly before fading.

His mana and Divine Sense had returned to their peak state.

”The current Great Sun Sword Sect...”

Jiang Ding communicated with his Great Sun Sword Sect counterpart, seeking related intelligence.

The Sword Sect counterpart, equipped with a sixth-rank Eradicate Karma charm, possessed strong Concealment abilities. His assigned task was to monitor the Great Sun Sword Sect and prevent Jiang Ding’s Great Sun Sword Pavilion inheritance from slipping away on its own.

If that happened, it would be a big problem.

In the battle against Immortal Burning Bone, the Sword Sect counterpart had executed his mission superbly.

With the Taiyin Sword Intent he simulated, he successfully manipulated Immortal Blood Bone, which in turn lured Immortal Burning Bone away from the Great Sun Sword Sect, contributing significantly to the victory of the conflict.

Although he never showed himself, withdrawing from the scene as soon as the Immortal of Nascent Soul appeared, his role was not to be underestimated.

He still lurked near the Great Sun Sword Sect, and he attempted to find some unnoticeable scoundrels to act righteously and thus control them, in order to obtain external intelligence and gradually encroach upon the Great Sun Sword Sect.

It was predicted that within a few decades, he would extend his tendrils to the core disciples of the Great Sun Sword Sect, enabling more accurate and strict surveillance of the Sect’s internals.

As for now, that was yet to be achieved.

However, getting a rough idea of the intelligence was not a problem.

”... The Nascent Soul Monks of the Great Sun Sword Sect are heavily mobilized, hunting spies everywhere, with both the Righteous and Demonic Alliance and the Great Sun Dharma Sect on high alert...”

”... Many believe that as soon as Immortal Jianyang comes out of seclusion, he is bound to immediately initiate warfare and slaughter, with an unclear target, but there will definitely be one, as this is part of the cultivation of a Sword Dao Sect...”

”... Without war, not only will their Sword Intent fail to progress, but internal chaos will also arise, factions forming and infighting, fighting amongst themselves first.

If the Sect cannot renew itself, succumbing to decay, ineptitude, and cowardice, then it is destined either to perish or to undergo restructuring of the Sect; there are no other possibilities...”

”... Perhaps this is why the Daymoon Sword Pavilion isn’t as extreme, making compromises through the long evolutionary changes over the years...”

”... Each pure Sword Dao Sect is a curse to its surrounding regions...”

”...”

”So, it’s fairly stable for the time being, right?”

”That will do.”

Jiang Ding skimmed through the intelligence and no longer paid attention to it.

As time passed by, many insurmountable problems for him would no longer be issues, hence a period of stability for development was an excellent situation.

”None of these matter, the situation in the Northern Plains, the Nascent Soul Monks fighting unto death, none of it is important.”

”What’s important is, Scorching Sun Spirit Iron!”

Jiang Ding excitedly took out the Nascent Soul of Immortal Burning Bone.

It was almost transparent, its aura weakened as if it might self-destruct and shatter at any moment, only sustained by a thread of Destruction Sword Qi within.

”Let’s have a look...”

Jiang Ding’s Divine Sense surged into the Nascent Soul of Immortal Burning Bone.

With no surprises, the inheritance restrictions cooperated on their own, and a wealth of images appeared before him, flashing through the nearly thousand-year life like a fast-forwarded movie starting from infancy.

Immortal Burning Bone came from a Loose Cultivator background.

He had grown up through constant battles, enduring countless life-and-death fights and narrow escapes, relying on his strength and luck to reach today, even looking toward divinity transformation, truly an elite of his time.

Many founders of dynasties couldn’t compare to him in terms of thrilling experiences.

Jiang Ding bypassed all personal vendettas, Cultivation Method inheritances, using ’Scorching Sun Spirit Iron’ as the keyword to meticulously search through Immortal Burning Bone’s Nascent Soul, not overlooking any detail.

Even in casual conversation, he recorded every single word, sparing no effort.

He continued his careful search, unconcerned with the passing of time.

Three months swiftly passed by.
