Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

In comprehensive terms, the treatment of the conscripted armies from Minor Thousand Worlds was mid-level among cultivators of the same rank. The prospect was promising. Consequently, the enthusiasm of cultivators from all races in the Minor Thousand Worlds to enlist was exceedingly high, often requiring fierce competition. They had to excel in political assessments, talent, comprehension, and other aspects to secure an enlistment slot.

At last, the century-long pacification war had finally reached its conclusion.

Great Sun Heavenly Pond, Sun Abyss.

Jiang Ding sat cross-legged beneath the Sun God Wood as endless rays of light converged upon him, continuously refined through Six Dao Reincarnation and condensed. Enhanced by the sword refining array of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, it generated an extraordinary level of heat that could awe even Refining Void True Venerables.

At the core of this light, the first synthetic Geng Metal, smelted for over a century, had finally fully liquefied, merging with various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures surrounding it, becoming fine threads that fused with the Taiqing Flying Sword in its crimson critical state. These threads became profound runes of Destruction Rules, etched within the Taiqing Flying Sword.

Ultimately, adjacent to the Great Sun Destruction Rule Divine Prohibition, a hazy core of the Destruction Rule Prohibition began to spread.

The light gradually faded, marking the completion of the century-long process of refining the flying sword.

The aura of the Taiqing Flying Sword had strengthened.

“Refining Void Space Treasure, Rule Prohibition…”

Jiang Ding gently picked up the Taiqing Flying Sword, carefully sensing the restrictions within it, especially the nebulous core of the Destruction Rule Prohibition that had yet to take material form.

Through such meticulous refining, he vaguely deepened his understanding of the Destruction Rules.

Influenced by the Destruction Rules, one of the six orders within the Taiqing Flying Sword—the Primordial Magnet Order—was subtly evolving toward the Primordial Magnet Rule.

“The second Destruction Rule Prohibition will require ten more refinements to fully manifest, equating to a thousand years.”

“And for the Refining Void Space Treasure to reach completion, nine Rule Prohibitions are required.”

Jiang Ding calculated, “In other words, I need nine thousand years to refine the Taiqing Flying Sword to perfection… No, it’s not that simple. The later stages of refinement will become increasingly difficult, and it’s impossible for each Rule Prohibition to take only a thousand years.”

“Roughly estimated, it might take about seventeen thousand years for the Taiqing Flying Sword to become a pinnacle Refining Void Space Treasure.”

“In comparison to the thirty-thousand-year lifespan of Refining Void cultivators, this seems fast…”

“My ass!”

“Seventeen thousand years!”

Jiang Ding sighed.

“This span equals the lifetime of two generations of God Transformation cultivators. Even for me, seventeen thousand years later, I’d be at the end of my life, with only a few thousand years left to live.”

The deeper one delved into the Immortal Path, the longer the required time became—he was already accustomed to this.

“There must be a way to accelerate this process…”

Jiang Ding searched through the Great Sun Sword Pavilion’s inheritances and quickly identified a legacy: “The ‘Taiyin Taiyang Sword Sacrifice Technique’… A technique from the Daymoon Sword Pavilion requiring a Taiyin Swordman—no, I won’t use that.”

“‘Sun Sacrifice Sword Technique,’ the Taiyang Sword Child’s exclusive method for refining flying swords in the absence of a Taiyin Swordman. However, it’s dangerous and often leads to death. While this technique is the most efficient and outstanding, originating from the Upper Realm’s Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, it requires rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures unique to the Upper Realm.”

“‘Great Sun Sacrificial Sword Technique,’ created by successive generations of Great Sun Sword Masters referencing the ‘Sun Sacrifice Sword Technique.’ Its efficiency is one-tenth of the latter, but it has the advantage of using materials found entirely within the Nine Spirits Realm. Furthermore, it doesn’t require a Taiyin Swordman. Beyond that, the flying sword’s power, speed, potential, and other aspects fall short compared to the ‘Sun Sacrifice Sword Technique.’”

“This is expected; the Great Sun Sword Pavilion isn’t on par with the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm.”
