Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1288: Chapter 1256: Vice Marshal Great Sun Celestial Lord of Xianmen Sect

Ten years is an incredibly fleeting period for a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Refining treasures during tribulations, deducing swordsmanship and cultivation methods, cultivating, participating in the Immortal Sect’s Void Refining Scripture project and Harmonization Formation development—living as if one were multiple people, perpetually occupied.

Jiang Ding felt as though he had mulled things over briefly, and these ten years had just slipped away.

It wasn’t at all disorienting.

Over the course of two millennia, he had long since grown accustomed to such a life of cultivation, research, and warfare—every Heavenly Monarch within the Immortal Sect lived in much the same manner.

On this day, Jiang Ding sealed various research documents, handed others off to his avatars, and arranged all affairs within the Immortal Sect.

Buzz!

Simultaneously, the Great Sun Heavenly Pond disengaged from the Immortal Sect’s Thirty-Third Heavenly Gang Orbit, proceeding toward the banyan Super Transmission Array outside the Immortal Sect Mother Planet.

Here, Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch and the other Heavenly Monarchs of the Immortal Sect were already waiting.

The Great Sun Heavenly Pond came to a halt.

A youth clothed in green descended and landed before the gathered crowd.

“Blessings!”

“Blessings to the Great Sun Celestial Lord—may you quell the rebellion in the Jiao Ming Domain and return victorious!”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch bowed deeply, offering a profound ceremony.

With every expedition of the Immortal Sect Fleet, he would always bid farewell in this manner, wishing safety and triumph upon the citizens’ fleet—venturing to expand the open living space for Immortal Sect citizens, broadening the territories bathed in sunlight and spiritual veins.

“To all esteemed elders, I will do my utmost.”

Jiang Ding returned the gesture.

He then turned and departed.

Under the command of Bone Forest Heavenly Monarch, the Bone Forest Special Starry Sky Corps followed suit; tens of thousands of warships, air-space motherships, and others entered the Great Sun Heavenly Pond.

This was the strengthened guard corps provided by the Immortal Sect to Jiang Ding.

In addition to fighting on the frontlines, they carried out certain political functions, such as stabilizing local Minor Thousand Worlds and cultivating officer candidates post-expansion.

Golden Pill cultivators commanded regiment-level conscripted fleets, while Immortals of Nascent Soul took charge of corps-level drafted units—this was becoming standard practice.

Among a conscripted fleet of tens of thousands of cultivators, the number of citizens of the Immortal Sect might be no more than a few dozen, filling key positions.

This placed exceptionally high demands on the military and political acumen of their officers—an arduous challenge indeed.

Within the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, various fleets entered their bases.

Bone Forest Heavenly Monarch, along with her corps’ staff headquarters, reached the Sun Abyss, where they encountered the meditating Great Sun Celestial Lord as well as the numerous Nascent Soul Immortal strategists of the Immortal Sect’s Jiao Ming Domain Second Expeditionary Army General Staff.

Surrounding them was an immense, shadowy map of the starry sky, outlining the hundred Minor Thousand Worlds within the Jiao Ming Domain and the locations of rebel forces therein.

The names, strengths, numbers of Spirit Transformation cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators, as well as the military formations of various rebel factions were marked clearly…

Bone Forest Heavenly Monarch’s gaze lingered momentarily on a marked point labeled “Skull Mountain Small World.”

Skull Mountain Small World—the ancestral domain of the Skull Blood Vine Demon Clan, a former realm-dominating power that emerged during the millennia-long war amidst the collapse of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan’s reign and the ensuing chaos in the domain. Swiftly seizing this region, they expanded aggressively, forming a fledgling domain-level force.

Currently, they boasted eleven Spirit Transformation stage cultivators, seventeen hundred Nascent Soul cultivators…
