Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 1219 - 1183: Xianmen Sect's Millions of Warships Expedite to the Horned Ming Realm

Many Heavenly Monarchs gathered in the starry sky.

Yuan Deng, from the center, spoke eloquently about his enlightenment upon advancing to the Refining Nothingness stage, the dangers, conundrums, and aspects he himself found puzzling.

His Divine Sense split into tens of thousands, simultaneously imparting his teachings to many Heavenly Monarchs and Immortals of Nascent Soul, and accepting their questions.

Many Heavenly Monarchs, especially younger ones like the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch, who had not yet cultivated to the peak of Divinity Transformation, were actually quite baffled, not understanding much at all.

But under Yuan Deng's meticulous and patient instruction, they too came to understand a part.

"Mhm, mhm."

"I understand now!"

The many Heavenly Monarchs nodded incessantly like confused little chicks in a classroom.

Never mind whether they could understand or not.

To learn even a little was something; what they couldn't comprehend they would jot down, to slowly grasp and ponder upon in later cultivation and combat, thereby gradually advancing and improving.

It is in such an extraordinarily superior educational environment that the citizens of Immortal Sect grow up.

Through the accumulation of countless details, one was able to supply a Domain Overlord power with talents from a single domain, stronger than the sum of talents from an entire domain combined, and even then there were surplus talents, with individuals still in slumber waiting for an Opportunity to Transform into a Deity.

Jiang Ding also gained immensely from this teaching, clarifying much on his path to Divinity Transformation and the path of order.

The strongest aspect of the Immortal Sect has always been its education, which is fundamental.

The highest rulers are the greatest educators, and the various Heavenly Monarchs and Immortals under their governance are all adept in teaching. Generation after generation of cultivators have been carefully taught and, in turn, patiently guided their juniors, perpetuating this legacy.

This teaching session continued unabated for five years before slowly coming to an end.

At the moment the teaching ended, the numerous Heavenly Monarchs returned to their Starry Sky Fortresses. Countless Military Formation Runes reconnected, spread out, and were centered around Yuan Deng, releasing an even more terrifying presence into the heavens and earth, causing even the Domain Starry Sky of the Endless Domain to resonate slightly.

It was as if another invincible being of a domain had emerged.

Jiang Ding did not join the military formation, he had his own plans and now felt a slight suffocation.

Within the Immortal Sect's billions of army formations centered around Yuan Deng, he saw shadows, the shadow of the Last Great Sun Sword Master Xi Yuan; and though still not a match, he was getting close.

The Immortal Sect had become much stronger than before.

Now, perhaps the Eight Great Immortal Sects were no longer the powerhouses, the Immortal Sect no longer needed to rely on bravery, nor the tenacity and indomitable spirit to force them back, but could stand toe-to-toe with them in terms of actual strength.

"Can we... first annihilate the Eight Great Immortal Sects?"

Jiang Ding asked instinctively.

A tiger carries the spirit of harm, and so do humans have the intent to slay it!

If they could annihilate the Eight Great Immortal Sects, seal off the domain passageway, develop for a millennium or two, birth several Void Refining practitioners, build Planet-Level Warships, and then launch a campaign to sweep through the Horned Ming Realm, true peace would come to both domains.

Many Celestial Lords of the Immortal Gate were startled, and then their eyes started to flicker.

Many showed murderous intent.

For the Celestial Lords of the Immortal Gate, hatred was never forgotten, merely hidden for a time, and now it seemed a godsend opportunity had arrived?

"It's not feasible."

The Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch shook his head slightly: "Those eight old things are far too wary of us. They've laid countless traps in the domain passageway, which can't be sealed off just because we wish it."

"Additionally, our strength..."

He looked towards Yuan Deng.

"Our strength is not yet sufficient."

Yuan Deng added: "If those eight Fellow Daoists confirm they are in a do-or-die situation, they will surely not lack the courage to fight desperately, and at that time, their combat power will surge massively."

"Under such circumstances, we might lose the vast majority of our comrades before we could potentially secure final victory, with even a thirty percent chance of mutual destruction, and a twenty percent chance they would emerge as the grim victors."

"Do not underestimate these Immortal Sects."

"Moreover, the huge variable that is the Horned Demon Imperial Clan must be taken into account. After all, the Horned Demon Imperial Clan has produced Harmonization Experts, and the depth of their heritage has never been fully determined, so they might have the potential to obliterate the Nine Spirits Realm."

"All things considered, now is still not a good time for civil war."

"It seems I have miscalculated."

Jiang Ding felt somewhat embarrassed, his face reddened, realizing he had been too young and naive.

But only slightly.

In the strategy of the Immortal Sect, any cultivator is qualified to offer suggestions. It's not a closely guarded secret, limited to discussion only amongst a select few elites.

The green-clothed youth's cheeks blushed faintly, shy like a sixteen-year-old boy.

The likes of Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch felt a chill in their hearts.

"Next, I will announce the latest resolution of the Immortal Sect Citizens' Assembly."

Within the solemn multitude of the fleet's military formation, Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch took a step forward, producing a red-titled document and solemnly declared: "For the long-term peace and security of the Nine Spirits Realm, to liberate the countless people of the Horned Ming Realm and beings of the Ten Thousand Clans oppressed by the evil slave master Horned Demon Imperial Clan, to free the Horned Ming Realm, and to bring light to all beings residing there."

"The Immortal Sect has decided to send troops to the Horned Ming Realm!"

"This expedition will include thirty-six Heavenly Gang Group Armies, seventy-two Earth Evil Group Armies of the Immortal Sect, totaling one hundred and three million, nine hundred ninety-two thousand, nine hundred seventy-one various starry sky fortresses, air-space motherships, and air-space warplanes, all assembled as the Immortal Sect First Horned Ming Realm Expeditionary Army."

"The Citizens' Assembly appoints Yuan as the Marshal of the Immortal Sect First Horned Ming Realm Expeditionary Army."

"Appoints Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch as Vice Marshal of the Immortal Sect First Horned Ming Realm Expeditionary Army."

"Appoints Canghai Heavenly Monarch as the Deputy Marshal of the Immortal Sect First Horned Ming Realm Expeditionary Army."

"Appoints, …"

"Appoints Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch …"

"…"

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch read out each resolution from the Immortal Sect Citizens' Assembly, passing on the warrants of appointment. The stationed cultivators in the Horned Ming Realm would be represented by their avatars.

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch announced the appointments for various starry sky fleet's admiral Heavenly Monarchs.

Subordinate units' appointments were transmitted by the Central Array Spirit Computer, down to the smallest detail, including even Foundation Establishment Soldiers at the lowest level, all personally appointed by the Immortal Sect Citizens' Assembly.

Even the Foundation Establishment Soldiers are loyal to the Immortal Sect Citizens' Assembly and accountable to it, rather than to any one person.

"The Immortal Sect seems determined to seize the Horned Ming Realm…"

Jiang Ding watched the scene unfold, his heart also shaken.

The Immortal Sect Citizens have fully mobilized. Yet, the real adversary is not the Eight Great Immortal Sects but the Horned Ming Realm. They wish to dispatch their full forces in a battle to secure a vast living space for the Immortal Sect Citizens so that future Void Refining Practitioners of the Immortal Sect will not be cramped, internal conflicts will not arise, thereby preventing internal strife.

The Immortal Sect is coming out in full force!

Jiang Ding suspected that Yuan and others were already preparing for the worst-case scenario: facing the Horned Demon Emperor Clan and the Eight Great Immortal Sects alone in extreme circumstances, hence the decision to make an all-out effort.

"…Appoints Pingyang Heavenly Monarch as the commander of the 18th Group Army of the Seventy-Second Earth Evil Group Army."

After Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch finished reading the Citizens' Assembly's decree, he bowed deeply: "The grand scheme of the Horned Ming Realm is now in your hands, I hope everyone will return just as they have departed, no one less."

"Return with victory!"

He would not embark on the campaign but would stay to oversee the Immortal Sect to ensure that the mother star is completely secure.

"Haha! It will certainly be so!"

"Victorious!"

Yuan laughed heartily amidst the billion-strong fleet, his presence overwhelmingly formidable, almost suffocating.

"Victorious!"

"Victorious!!!"

The billion-strong army of the Immortal Sect roared.

Countless chaos array patterns emerged within the Immortal Sect fleet, as if an endless space storm was occurring. Space churned tumultuously as if the universe within hundreds of millions of kilometers was undulating violently, like a world in motion.

Representing the pinnacle of the Immortal Sect army formation technology, the billion-strong fleet commenced spatial warp!
