Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

At a time when his clone in the Golden Palace was besieged tightly by numerous Heavenly Monarchs, Jiang Ding was listening to the Central Array Spirit Computer’s assessment of the heritage handed over.

Labor comes with its rewards.

Those who accomplish meritorial tasks in Xianmen Sect will definitely receive corresponding grand merits.

This is the foundation of Xianmen Sect; it does not require its citizens to be selfless saints who expect no reciprocation.

Such self-sacrificing saints, even if they exist, are not what Xianmen Sect desires; such individuals would not score high in moral and ethical education courses.

The maximum score is one hundred and thirty, and it is impossible to go any further.

Such saints, who defy the continuation and development of life, though maybe beneficial momentarily, will inevitably bring disaster in the long run.

As the saying goes, without the deaths of saints, grand thieves will never cease.

So, what exactly is a high moral and ethical score in true Xianmen beliefs?

Jiang Ding contemplated this.

A high moral and ethical score involves integrating the interests of Xianmen and one’s own interests; possessing a strong impulse to seek benefits without violating Xianmen’s laws, and while pursuing personal interests, also promoting the benefits of Xianmen, achieving mutual benefits.

Yes, this is indeed challenging.

However, achieving this qualifies as a high moral and ethical score in Xianmen Sect, scoring one hundred and thirty to forty points as if it were a playful matter.

The ideology and morality of Xianmen are not merely elusive moral demands; morality alone does not encompass the entirety of this course.

It is, moreover, a capability!

A capability that binds one’s own interests deeply with those of Xianmen, achieving mutual benefits and growing together!

”…Citizen 5227…89, Jiang Ding, you have uploaded twenty-seven Void Refining Scriptures, three Unifying Dao Scriptures, and one incomplete scripture of the higher realm of Harmonization to Xianmen Library. This unparalleled grand merit you have achieved, according to the regulations of Xianmen, is rewarded as follows.”

The voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer conveyed.

”First, you are rewarded with twenty-nine Void Refining Battle Merits.”

The voice paused.

”Twenty-nine Void Refining Battle Merits?”

Jiang Ding was curious: ”Why twenty-nine? What are the justifications?”

”Because Xianmen only has funds worth twenty-nine Void Refining Battle Merits available—this is all the money we have, and the reward has already reached its limit; it cannot be increased.”

The Central Array Spirit Computer answered.

It’s the age-old saying; the value of a commodity is not only determined by its objective value but also how much money the buyer has!

If we view Xianmen as a small merchant, it means, no matter what you sell to it, no matter if its value is priceless, it can only give you all its liquid assets.

It’s impossible for it to give you the food necessary for survival for the entire household, the only knife to defend against enemies, or even trade its own life by committing suicide.

These are the things necessary for survival; even an Immortal Scripture cannot give these to you.

No matter how great the opportunity or how vast the wealth, it only has value on the basis that Xianmen exists and is alive.

Thus, concerning battle merit rewards, and heritage handover rewards, there are principles and limits; they must not threaten the survival of Xianmen.

”Reward two: Three hundred years of computing power of the Central Array Spirit Computer.”

”Citizen Jiang Ding, above are all the rewards Xianmen Sect is offering you; if you have any objections, please appeal.”

The Central Array Spirit Computer announced, further explaining: ”The computing power of the Central Array Spirit Computer must be used for defense, scientific research, and the wellbeing of the populace. Only thirty percent is allocatable each year, and your reward of computing power will need to be paid in installments, requiring about a thousand years to be fully distributed.”

”If you temporarily need a more substantial amount of computing power from the Central Array Spirit Computer, please make a reservation.”

”Also, the twenty-nine Void Refining Battle Merits are the same; they are now allocated to your account, but please do not use them all at once. Spread the usage between two to three thousand years, otherwise Xianmen doesn’t have the capability to pay.”
