Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 1152 - 1120 Heavenly Monarch Grand Gathering

As Feather White True Monarch, who carries the bloodline of the mutated moonlight rabbit, elaborately expounded, Jiang Ding gained a more personal understanding of the current Northern Plains.

Many acquaintances had passed away, and many new Immortals of Nascent Soul had risen, such as those hailed as the 'Divine Wood Sword' - Divine Wood True Monarch from the Great Sun Sword Sect, Mixed Yang True Monarch, and other emerging elites.

Their power among peers was no weaker than that of the past Northern Plains elites like Scorching Sun Swordsman and Six Dao Saint, and even surpassed many, having grown up in the nourishing environment of the Tushan Central Court.

However, Jiang Ding didn't care much about these new elites.

These new elites, belonging to a different era, felt too distant to evoke much emotion, just like the numerous General Stage Cultivators of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan, devoid of deeper significance.

Let everything proceed according to Tushan Law.

"Many old friends have left."

"Some old friends are about to leave."

Jiang Ding sighed, "Go tell these old Immortals that if they are free, they might as well gather here in a year. There's nothing serious, just chatting, drinking, and discussing the Tao."

"Meeting with everyone in the mortal world is a fate that should be cherished."

"Yes, my lord."

Feather White and twelve other True Monarch maids kneeled in respect, stepped back slowly, and went to execute the Heavenly Monarch's will.

Moments later, a secretive yet public message spread across the upper echelons of the Minor Thousand World in a very short time, causing a massive stir.

Tusen Heavenly Monarch has awakened from his seclusion!

The Heavenly Monarch will soon summon old friends at the Dark Demon Palace to discuss the Tao, joke, and talk, attracting the attention of numerous Cultivators.

Countless Cultivators paid a huge price in favors and personal wealth to learn about this, willing to bear enormous debts for an invitation, believing it to be worthwhile.

A grand gathering of the Heavenly Monarch!

It could even be said that this might be the greatest opportunity in thousands of years between heaven and earth!

Alas, despite such cost, not a single invitation from the gathering of the Heavenly Monarch was leaked. All the True Monarchs who received invitations treasured them as priceless, immediately awakening from cultivation breakthroughs or ignoring injuries, anxiously calculating the time and waiting for the period of the Heavenly Monarch's gathering.

It is well known that Tusen Heavenly Monarch always cherished old bonds.

The Heavenly Monarch was also famously generous; how could some spirit stones compare to meeting True Monarchs in person?

Moreover, unlike before, many old friends had passed away. The Heavenly Monarch was somewhat moved, his mood slightly stirred; he was likely to show much leniency, not revealing his past cold iron-blooded nature.

Many tried to find a breakthrough through the Tushan Maids.

Alas, all were met with cold rejections; those who attempted bribery with more brutish means were sent straight to prison by the Tushan Maids, who were uncompromising and impartial.

Tushan Law, must not be violated!

It cannot be denied that, over the past few centuries, many unsavory things had indeed occurred due to a lack of strict supervision, and many shady deals had begun to resurface; human society can never completely eliminate such matters.

But what time is it now?

The time when the Heavenly Monarch emerged from seclusion, awakening, full of life!

At such a time, even the greediest of the land tread carefully, observing the law more scrupulously than saints.

At this moment, there are still people attempting bribery, which can only indicate that their minds are not clear. Among High-Level Cultivators, fools occasionally emerge, another display of the diversity in this crowd.

Numerous Immortals of Nascent Soul, regardless of where they are or whether they are refining treasures or working on Treasure-Refining Pills, have abandoned their tasks. Leaving behind furnaces full of failed pills and treasures, they incessantly rush towards Tushan Central Court.

Some, who were hunting for treasures in remote wildernesses or ancient relics within the heart of volcanic magma, quickly calculated the time, then without any hesitation, activated the teleportation life-saving talismans developed by Tushan Central Court and flew towards the nearest Immortal City.

Throughout the Minor Thousand World, Immortals positioned all over the place flew towards Tushan Central Court with excitement.

Many rising stars among the Immortals, such as Northern Plains Mixed Yang True Monarch and Southern Border Divine Wood True Monarch, watched eagerly, scratching their heads in anxiety, yet completely helpless.

They wished they could turn back time, return to the era when Tushan Central Court was established, and fight alongside the Heavenly Monarch, or oppose him and later follow him.

If they could live to this day, a mere invitation would hardly be noteworthy.

Unfortunately, time ultimately cannot be reversed.

...

As the entire world began to stir, Jiang Ding's Divine Sense finally connected to the governmental heavy machinery, Ten Thousand Miles Beacon Tower, and began a detailed examination of Northern Plains.

Data is cold, devoid of emotions, yet it describes reality most objectively.

Three hundred years of governance data from Tushan Central Court is an enormously large amount. Jiang Ding closed his eyes and took more than a month to meticulously read through it.

This was mainly because he did not skim through the data but looked closely at every single matter, even those involving the reassignments, salaries, and promotions of Golden Pill Monks, and carefully verified and pondered whether they were logical without any favoritism or negligence.

Over these three hundred years, how many such trivial matters could have accumulated by billions?

"Overall, it's not bad."

"Tushan Central Court is still developing steadily, not deviating from the strategic development plan I devised."

Jiang Ding opened his eyes and slowly digested the governance data.

"Now, Tushan Central Court has an annual income of about 60 billion Low-grade Spirit Stones, an increase of over 10 billion Low-grade Spirit Stones compared to three hundred years ago. This is due to the development of industries such as Spiritual Plants, Elixirs, and minerals. The average level of Spirit Plant Masters, Refining Masters, and Spirit Beast Masters in all disciplines and technologies of the Immortal Path is progressing steadily."

"The concentration of the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi in the entire world has approximately increased by one thousandth, which indicates the world has entered a benign cycle. The Immortal Path Ecosystem is improving, although it's not perfect. I had many misunderstandings about the Immortal Tao Ecosystem three hundred years ago, and I need to correct them as soon as possible…"

Jiang Ding muttered to himself, his eyes slightly gleaming.

By managing a Minor Thousand World, understanding the various changes in its human and natural ecology over three hundred years, greatly benefited his Sword Realm Space. This is the natural way of weaving Heaven and Earth.

"Here in Tushan Central Court, by accumulating the Spiritual Energy from the entire Minor Thousand World, it has advanced from a Fifth Order Lower Grade Spirit Vein to a Fifth Order High Grade Spirit Vein."

"Conversely, the Guishan Iron Family has fallen into a spiritless environment since eighty-seven years ago, with its internal Spiritual Energy continuously dissipating, which has persisted for eighty-seven years."

"Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch, Mingguang Zi, are you two there…"

Jiang Ding's face wore a smile, yet it was cold.

Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch is his sworn enemy.

This person should not be underestimated; even though he hails from a Minor Thousand World and possesses a lowly character, his natural talent and intelligence are formidable. Moreover, having fused with fragments of Immortal Techniques at great cost, his own power has also surged dramatically, making him a respectable opponent.

Mingguang Zi, the last Swordsman of Great Sun Sword Pavilion.

Between these two, it is a fight to the death as dao enemies.

Whichever side kills the other will gain tremendous benefits, and the path above Refining Nothingness will inevitably open, leaving no questions about advancing further in Refining Nothingness.
