Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 1004 - 973: Dragging the Secret Realm, Inspecting the Heavenly Monarch's Northern Plains

"Hundreds of kilometers in size, the secret realm continuously shattered space, thundering along, naturally emitting a dreadful oppressive aura.

Within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers, all demon beasts, cultivators, and all living beings felt a sense of impending doom about the terrible natural disaster that was about to strike, yet there was no escape.

Because such strange phenomena were occurring everywhere within that radius!

There was nowhere to hide, nowhere to run, threats lurked in every direction, leaving the living beings unable to do anything but stand frozen in place, their minds blank.

Their premonition was not wrong.

The hundreds of kilometers of the secret realm shattered space as it moved, thundering along. Not to mention the various disasters triggered by the turmoil between heaven and earth, the natural splattering of space's razor-sharp fragments alone could annihilate all living beings along its path, even mountains would be split into dust, and the earth would be plowed into a deep canyon.

Many famously named places such as 'Heaven-Splitting Gorge,' 'Sword-Cleaving Valley,' and the like were likely related to the activities of high-ranking Nascent Soul Cultivators over the generations.

However, in fact, as the Luoxu Sect Secret Realm thundered past, it left no impact on the earth, not even a blade of grass was damaged; a breeze brushed past, like dreams and bubbles.

It was only after the realm had completely passed that the living beings on the ground recovered from their stiff, blank-minded state.

Jiang Ding was pulling the Luoxu Sect Secret Realm through the sky.

His Great Sun Destroying Sword Domain unfolded, completely enveloping the secret realm. Whenever a slight spatial fracture or chaotic current was triggered, several Sword Qi would leap forward, instantly dissolving the disaster into nothingness, never causing any damage to the outside world.

It was inevitable, this was his Northern Plains, his tax-collecting territory.

It could be destroyed anywhere, but not here!

Jiang Ding dragged the Luoxu Sect Secret Realm for several months, and returned to the Liudao Sect once more. He took out a space anchor and nailed it down, letting the Luoxu Sect Secret Realm sink back into the deep space.

This was the secret realm's natural instinct, born from the shattered Boundary Wall, inherently possessing the ability to merge with space.

"Greetings, Heavenly Monarch!"

The monks left in charge at the Liudao Sect approached to welcome him with trembling bodies.

There were no Nascent Soul Monks, all were Golden Pill Monks.

These Golden Pill Monks, encountering a God-transforming Level being for the first time, felt somewhat shaky.

Some, gathering up the courage, glanced from the corner of their eyes and saw only a blurred figure, shrouded in the brilliance of the Great Sun, indiscernible in form.

The Golden Pill Monks trembled in their hearts and quickly bowed their heads.

It wasn't any concealment, but rather the natural diffusion of Jiang Ding's inner power, which formed barriers obscuring Divine Sense and visibility.

This was a common phenomenon among high-energy beings; if he didn't deliberately restrain his power, the area within a radius of a thousand kilometers was unsuitable for the survival of Golden Pill Monks and those of lower ranks.

This was also one of the important reasons high-level cultivators disliked associating with lower-level cultivators; they had to constantly restrain themselves, as inattention could easily lead to the death of lower-level cultivators.

Although this was quite normal, it was also tiresome after frequent occurrence.

"Fellow Daoists, no need for such formalities."

Jiang Ding nodded his head

He summoned the avatar of the Agriculture Sect Master Nine Elemental Spirit Ginseng Spring Third Babe—his main body had also gone to the battlefield, as all Nascent Soul Monks must serve, regardless of their position.

This was the huge difference between Immortal Path Forces and Mortal Forces.

In Mortal Forces, the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers were just a bunch of old men, any farmer on the battlefield was stronger than them; the main force in wars were well-trained elite troops.

Within Immortal Path Forces, it was different, realm surpasses all. Golden Pill Cultivators, no matter how long you've trained, a Nascent Soul Monk could extinguish an area with a wave of his hand.

That's why everyone had to serve.

It was not possible to just sit back and watch from a safe distance while others fought to the death because you held some governmental post.

Nascent Soul techniques in Beiyuan were relatively behind, making it hard to sustain multi-threaded tasks, but Nine Elemental Spirit Ginseng Spring Third Babe was an exception. He was naturally talented with multiple avatars, still keeping an avatar behind to handle various affairs, and if necessary, to resurrect."

"What are you looking for me for?"

Soon, a white, chubby baby only the size of an average person's knees flew over and said impolitely, "I'm very busy right now, dealing with various matters of the Agricultural Sect, and one Golden Pill avatar can't handle it all."

This kind of naturally nurtured spiritual being hadn't received much ceremonial education nor strict hierarchical teaching, so he didn't show the usual respect towards Jiang Ding that ordinary cultivators did.

The solution was simple, a beating would suffice.

Many Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarchs tamed such natural spirits this way, and it didn't lead to any future troubles.

"It's truly something important."

Jiang Ding said with a smile, leading him into the Luoxu Sect Secret Realm, "Do you recognize this place?"

"Here..."

Chun San Wa's eyes widened.

"Did you move my home here?!"

Chun San Wa exclaimed with joy.

"What do you mean, your home? This is my secret realm,"

Jiang Ding said discontentedly, "Have your Agricultural Sect handle it, arrange for people to enter promptly, and plan out the most suitable scheme for planting elixirs and nurturing heavenly materials and earthly treasures; give me a preliminary result within ten years."

"It clearly is my home. I was born here, lived here for thousands of years..."

Chun San Wa said resentfully.

Despite his objections, he didn't slow his actions.

A series of spring-green spiritual lights of magic burst forth, spreading in all directions, using the innate abilities of the Nine Elements Spiritual Ginseng to communicate with the spiritual plants in all directions, and investigating various natural conditions of the Luoxu Sect Secret Realm.

His actions were swift, for a reason.

Although the Qingyi young man before him was easy to talk to, scolded him without issues, and provided excellent treatment that was always fulfilled.

But once dereliction of duty happened, he would immediately turn hostile and unrecognizing!

He would do just as needed, imprison if necessary, execute if required, with no room for sentiment.

"It will take about twenty-eight years."

Chun San Wa said straightforwardly, "We don't have any Nascent Soul monks available, and there are few Golden Pill monks; our speed isn't what it used to be, this is already the fastest, we need to divert people from other places too."

"Alright, I'll give you thirty years."

Jiang Ding thought it over and then conjured a secret realm key, casually tossing it to him before turning to leave.

...

Simultaneously, after years of travel, the Three Great Legions of Tushan Central Court finally reached the former mountain gate of the Great Sun Dharma Sect, the administrative center of the Western Desert Demon Race Dynasty in the Northern Plains.

Three Great Army Formations.

The Nine Elephants Sword Cloud of the Tu Shan Maiden Corps spanned the sky, the sword-light fierce and sky-reaching;

The Great Sun Longsword Metropolis's one hundred thousand wheels of sunlight dazzled brightly, sword qi dominated all directions, and sword intent suppressed everywhere;

The most terrifying and oppressive was from the million cultivators of the Primordial Legal Heaven's army, a thousand Primordial Radiance Halls soaring into the sky, forming dense and numerous formations, the huge military formation almost crushing the capital of the Western Desert Demon Race Dynasty in the Northern Plains.

On their march, the Three Great Legions of Beiyuan weren't unimpeded; the Six Great Royal Clans of the Western Desert Demon Race, the Imperial Royal Guards of the Ice Phoenix Clan had all tried to block or attack the Great Sun Sword Sect to disperse the three armies, hoping to destroy them when gathered.

But ultimately, every attempt by the Demon Race to block them had been blasted head-on, the leading Demon Monarchs died, and numerous Demon Generals and Demon Kings were left littering the battlefield; nothing could hinder them.

Now, the Tushan army had arrived here.

The force of the Tushan Central Court's army suppressed all directions, encircling the capital of the Western Desert Demon Race Dynasty, ready to launch a total assault to remove this nail of the Western Desert Demon Race Dynasty in the Northern Plains, reclaiming the territory of Beiyuan.
