Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

After an unknown amount of time, all the lights faded away.

At the center of the Great Dao’s chaos, a dim lotus seed floated up and down, faintly enveloped by nine folded leaves. Each vein on the lotus seed was the pinnacle of brilliance and mystery of the Destruction Dao, constantly absorbing Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, sunlight, moonlight, and starlight to grow. This growth process was slow, taking tens of millions of years to mature.

”Finally,”

”No unexpected changes, it succeeded.”

Jiang Ding slowly withdrew the seal, his face noticeably pale, falling into a state of severe injury and weakness.

Gong Caiyu was slightly tense.

Her Divine Soul constantly focused on the Supreme Great Sun Celestial Pivot, secretly escalating the Dubhe Defense Array to the highest alert level.

If circumstances were unfavorable, and the Tu Shan Maiden Corps couldn’t completely eliminate the opponent, she might have to communicate with the numerous super-tier Elite Dao Soldiers of the Taoist Court. These super-tier Elite Dao Soldiers possess Emperor Slayer level combat power, far from being insignificant cannon fodder.

In the command sequence for guarding the Forbidden Palace, the Xianmen Sect’s ten fleets held unchallenged first priority, politically utterly reliable, followed by the Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Soldiers, then the Beidou, Giant Gate, Seven Kills, and other Dao Soldiers sequences, akin to an array of Ancient Emperors surrounding and attacking.

This is the current power of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor Imperial Guards.

The Fusang Empress was equally tense.

”Hahaha, no worries!”

”If enemies come, it’s a great thing. For a Sword Cultivator’s life, having formidable enemies is fulfillment.”

Jiang Ding gave a faint smile.

He didn’t think it was unfair to him, though heavily injured and weak. Yet he possessed the Human Emperor’s Seal; if the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor decided to come, it would be an opportunity for significant advancement in the Sword Dao.

”Let everything be as it is.”

”This time, the expedition to the Dark Forbidden Zone should crush with grand momentum, mobilizing armies of tens and hundreds of billions, uprooting and annihilating the enemy, without playing any extreme games. Wars of this world shouldn’t be fought entirely by Sword Cultivators. The Immortal Sect Fleet, Beidou Dao Soldiers, should all have combat experience.”

Jiang Ding assigned tasks, requiring outcomes twenty thousand years later.

If not achieved, those involved would be held accountable.

Subsequently, he closed his eyes, continued to deduce and simplify the Sun Immortal Scripture in the direction of the Cross Immortal Scripture while healing, simultaneously collaborating with numerous Taoist Court researchers on investigating the Blood Fiend’s grievance.

The Blood Fiend’s grievance from the essence of heaven and earth is a high-level energy; overcoming its utilization might birth multiple Emperor Realm Cultivators without issue.

Then, the dreaded Blood Fiend’s grievance be nothing but a pile of Immortal-tier Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures ubiquitous and free.

This would pioneer an entirely new path, akin to bacteria evolving to consume lignin—a tremendous achievement, and the first beings to accomplish it would gain unimaginable era dividends.

Under these circumstances, it would be hard not to become an Emperor.

Of course, the challenge lies in this process.

Twenty thousand years is far insufficient for this path’s formation; possibly tens of millions to billions of years, not even completed in the Supreme Great Sun era. Currently, the goal is simply finding a way to seal the Blood Fiend’s grievance, not pushing further. Not all Immortal Dao research projects succeed; most result in waste.

Jiang Ding is accustomed to this, enthusiastically participating in every significant Immortal Dao research project.

Failure is wealth, knowledge. Presently, the profound foundation of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dao is built on countless failed cases, exceptionally precious.

”Yes, Your Majesty.”

”In twenty thousand years, before you will be a ten-trillion cultivator elite army.”

The Fusang Empress heaved a rare sigh of relief, nodding with a smile.

After so many years, finally a war meets her aesthetic, using overwhelming force to crush opponents, not a Holy Sword Fight.

...

The entire Taoist Court fell into general mobilization and total war preparedness.
