Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 1207 - 1175: Jiang Dingzi in Deep Slumber

Time flows like water, slowly passing by.

People and events in the world operate according to their inherent laws, unaffected by the lack of one person.

People are born, age, become ill, and die; they fight and kill, ascend through cultivation, and enlist in foreign lands... Everything proceeds as usual, generation after generation living on the mother star of Xianmen Sect.

In the blink of an eye, decades have passed.

Sigh...

Sigh...

The gentle snoring in the Great Sun sleeping space continues, generating countless tides of light.

At one moment,

Many lights converge towards the center of the sky, gathering continuously, growing brighter and more brilliant, until finally forming a solid entity.

A flying sword.

Three feet in size, with a bluegold hue, it emits terrifying auras of law-breaking, destruction, forbidden laws, and mutants.

The flying sword continues to shine, its will communicating with all of nature, the aura continuously changing, taking several years to gradually take shape.

It regained the brilliance of the sun.

This radiant Great Sun projects beams of light to the sky and the earth in all directions, filling the space between heaven and earth, omnipresent and omnipotent.

Gradually, these rays of light transform into various kinds of sword intents, giving rise to various phenomena.

There's Thunder Sword Intent, a series of twisted lightning, reaching a very deep realm, manifesting physically, containing the aura of destruction and creation;

There's Heavy Earth Sword Intent, blocks of land emerging from the void, resembling the legendary soil of the Nine Heavens; despite the scorching by the destuctive Great Sun and continuous strikes by thunder, it did not disappear but kept expanding and multiplying, eventually forming a vast expanse of land.

There's Spring Rain Sword Intent, the light drizzle being generated in the sky, not disappearing even under the brilliant light of the Great Sun; the raindrops fall to the earth, moistening the soil, bringing vitality to the land;

And there's Vegetation Sword Intent, a blade of grass breaking through the soil, bringing a hint of true greenery to the land, proliferating into bushes, then meadows, followed by various annual and perennial herbaceous plants, shrubs, trees...

Thus, amongst magma, mountains, earth, rivers, sunlight, winds, and rains, life begins to proliferate in the heavens, forests, meadows, rivers, all thriving, teeming with all kinds of flourishing life, all in an instant.

This is a prosperous world.

The only flaw is that there are no animals, no insects, not even fungi, nor are there any plant-like demon beasts such as Tree Demons.

This flaw was somewhat ignored, not touching upon this terrifying domain.

This is such a prosperous world, with hundreds of thousands of plants, each existing within its own ecosystem, growing, germinating, spreading roots, competing for nutrients, sunlight, and water, with absolutely no place randomly arranged.

Any of the plant ecosystems here, when transferred to the real world, would surely thrive.

All of this, originating from the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, from Xianmen Sect, strictly adhering to the requirements of Immortal Tao Science, each detail represents the wisdom of an exceptional individual's life, encapsulating countless achievements of Immortal Tao science by earlier generations.

Winds and rains, thunder and lightning, spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

This world operates cyclically, with grasses growing in spring, plants thriving in summer, fruits ripening in autumn, leaves turning yellow, and the land freezing in winter, in such a recurring cycle.

This process, continued for several more decades.

The world is cyclic, and an Immortal Sect Disciple has achieved the ultimate cycling of the Immortal Tao Ecosystem.

It transforms chaos from the void into Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, using this Spiritual Energy to sustain the operation of the world, seemingly achieving independent operation of the Immortal Tao Ecosystem.

However, seemingly, is just seemingly.

In the operation of this independent Immortal Tao Ecosystem, every moment requires an extremely subtle consumption of the Spiritual Energy originally stored in this world.

Very subtle, very subtle, yet essential.

Is this subtle amount of Spiritual Energy insignificant and negligible?

It is not.

What seems like just a subtle amount of Spiritual Energy, even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator's Divine Sense would hardly notice the passing of the Spiritual Energy, but actually, this represents a fundamental difference in the nature of an Immortal Tao Ecosystem — whether it can exist independently in the Cosmic Starry Sky.

Just a little bit, even a subtle bit matters as much.

Initially, it was truly just a subtle amount, but as the Immortal Tao Ecosystem continuously cycles, more and more metabolic byproducts are generated, and the Spiritual Energy needed for the ecosystem's cycling will increasingly grow, progressing at an exponential rate.

This Immortal Tao Ecosystem is expected to completely collapse after a thousand years.

This is inevitable.

In the previous civilization era of Xianmen Sect, among the various experiments conducted by Xianmen Sect and Immortal Sects, there was no way to build an independently cycling Immortal Tao Ecosystem, referred to as mystical realms or Cave Mansions, which had to rely on the world's existence and could not stand alone.

Unless, the soul.

The soul!

This is the most profound entity in the Immortal Path World; no matter how powerful a being is, none can completely decipher it or create a soul.

In the endless history of Immortal Tao Civilization development, a tremendously great figure discovered such a method, adding a soul to the independent Immortal Tao Ecosystem, thus partially solving the conundrum of this perpetual Spiritual Energy machine, creating a system that could sustain for tens of thousands of years independently.

Cultivators, relying on this system that can sustain for tens of thousands of years independently, see a significant increase in their own Mana, Divine Soul, and Life Energy.

This, is Refining Nothingness!

Cultivators relying on this great intellectual achievement, significantly extend their lives, becoming Star Field-Level Life, capable of existing independently from the world.

In this land where the Great Sun slumbers, the world is cycling, the Immortal Tao Ecosystem cycles continuously, plants grow, fruits ripen, then leaves wither, the earth freezes everything, entering a cycle of four seasons.

In such a process, annual herbaceous plants die year after year, and over years and decades, all plants have undergone multiple deaths, then seeds are reborn.

Between life and death, continuously reincarnating.

Time and time again, year after year.

The world cycles time and time again, life and death reincarnate time and time again, seeming endlessly.

During this process, it seems that something is accumulating.

Always accumulating.

Finally, in the hundredth year, something is born within the Great Sun, amongst all things under heaven.

Between heaven and earth, there's something spirited and indescribable added, and at this moment, a subtle change occurs in the operation of the world.
