Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 1583 1551: Great Sun Sword Cultivators Emerge in Large Numbers

This girl from the political work department is the most precious asset.

In fact, in terms of combat power and in terms of elites, Jiang Ding lacks nothing.

In the domain, over thousands upon thousands of years, elites have emerged in large numbers. Dao Body cultivators can easily be found in the Upper Realm. Their loyalty doesn't matter, for the Great Sun Sword Master can ensure their eternal allegiance.

Elites and the strong are not scarce for a Great Sun Sword Master who has reached a certain level of growth. Political work talents are what matters most to him, providing him with a continuous supply of logistics for cultivation, sword refining, and other mountainous and oceanic expenditures.

Of course, a mere Nascent Soul Cultivator cannot rule the future central hub of the Great Sun, regardless of administrative capability.

"Walk with me."

"Let's take a look at today's Tushan Maiden Corps, the Great Sun Longsword Commander, and the Primordial Magic Heavenly Metropolis."

Jiang Ding stood up and walked out of the Dark Demon Palace.

Gong Caiyu followed closely behind him, just like many years ago.

The moment they stepped out of the Dark Demon Palace, the two were already at the Tu Shan Central Court's Imperial Guards maiden group's station, a short distance from the Great Sun Longsword Commander's station and the Primordial Magic Heavenly Metropolis station, yet distinctly separate.

These three direct martial forces of the Tushan Central Court have distinctions in their duties.

The Tu Shan Maiden Corps is responsible only for close guards, some orders involving the will of the Tushan Central Court, or dispersed to departments such as tax, agriculture, and industry to supervise the execution of laws. But their primary duty is to ward off disturbances for the meditating master of the Tushan Central Court.

The Great Sun Longsword Commander, however, is a field legion.

Where there is rebellion, Demon Race chaos, or internal rebellion, these are tasks for the Great Sun Longsword Commander. They relish in this as these battles are part of their cultivation.

The Primordial Magic Heavenly Metropolis, while largest in number, is at the bottom in combat power, spread across various locations, responsible for guarding key transport routes. In essence, they are the Tushan Central Court's second-line troops.

Currently, the Great Sun Longsword Commander does not have significant combat missions and is practicing formation methods according to regulations.

Then behold, 108,000 flying swords form a sword formation to assassinate in mid-air. The heavenly light is dazzling, occasionally condensing suddenly into a singular Heavenly Sword of Light that abruptly strikes through the sky, its power far surpassing the peak of Hua Shen, even approaching the threshold of birthing order, which is truly fearsome.

This strength is enough to suppress the entire Beiyuan Small Realm. No Nascent Soul Cultivator is a match.

This is nearly ten thousand years of legacy!

Since the establishment of the Great Sun Longsword Commander, it has been inherited for nearly ten thousand years, with generation after generation of Great Sun Sword Cultivators joining, refining swords, dying in battle, and passing on the flying swords to the next generation of Great Sun Sword Cultivators. The accumulation from generation to generation ultimately achieved the current Great Sun Longsword Commander.

"This is the seed of the army, a seed cultivated for ten thousand years..."

Jiang Ding sighed in his heart.

The seed planted ten thousand years ago has now grown into a lush sapling.

If this seed could be inherited to the Upper Realm, having experienced countless racial battles, countless wars, countless ages, it might become a significant force in suppressing the Endless Starry Sky in the future.

The smooth growth of this army is inseparable from the meticulous nurturing by the inheritors of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion.

"Hei,"

"Long time no see."

Jiang Ding said blandly.

In the illusory space in front of him, Karma Runes emerged one by one, then a patch of black mist appeared, emitting an aura far surpassing the Nascent Soul, such that it would not be weak even in the Refining Nothingness phase.

However, it trembled incessantly, its misty form fluctuating up and down, unable to maintain a complete form before the green-clothed youth.

The Sword Pavilion Legacy Messenger, Hei.

"Greetings,"

"Sword Master!"

Hei bowed deeply.

It was trembling, yet not out of fear. It had no life, merely a segment of array spirit logic, trembling because its array spirit logic was influenced by the dreadful sword soul, unable to operate normally.

This creation of Refining Nothingness from the Great Sun Sword Pavilion is now scarcely usable.

"Hei, you have grown weak."

Jiang Ding was noncommittal, allowing Hei to slowly dissipate.

If in the future he decides to return to the Upper Realm, perhaps he could bring Hei along, where it could be upgraded and enhanced, facilitating the cultivation of more Great Sun Sword Cultivators.

"How does the Tu Shan Maiden Corps compare to the Great Sun Longsword Commander now?"

Jiang Ding inquired.

"Weaker by one level, Master."

Gong Caiyu replied, "As the Great Sun Longsword Commander matures over time, with the death and growth of sword cultivators, their power is continuously strengthening. The current commander, the Light Flame Heavenly Monarch, is also an exceptional figure, not weaker than the previous Lieyang Heavenly Monarch. Indeed, talents emerge every generation, forming a stable lineage of inheritance."

"If you have demands in the Upper Realm, these Great Sun God Transformation Practitioners who ascend every generation could serve as your core Taoist Soldiers."

"Provided you can continually suppress them, not fall in the Holy Sword Fight."

"It's still too early for me to consider these things."

Jiang Ding slightly shook his head.

He is still far from officially stepping onto the Upper Realm stage to rule a domain, at least until he reaches the Heavenly Human Realm. All he can do now is prepare, always preparing; the best time to plant a tree is now.

"However, the Tu Shan Maiden Corps being one notch weaker..."

Jiang Ding slightly frowned.

The Tu Shan Maiden Corps is his significant administrative force, imbalance is undesirable, even if it is only a budding sign now.

It is easy to increase their power: bestow treasures, and shift more resources their way, but that is temporary, soon to be surpassed and overtaken by the Great Sun Longsword Commander advancing on the Great Sun Swordsmanship path. In the vision of the Great Sun Sword Master, this is almost predestined in tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, continuously tilting resources to nurture a group incapable of winning competitions does not suit his aesthetic views.

"Master, do you remember the Blood Lake Eye in the East Sea?"

Gong Caiyu asked.

"I remember."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly, his mind stirred.

The world around them shifted and changed, and the two of them were already at the East Sea, where a Blood Lake appeared in the endless sea of blood. Various blood-and-flesh monsters were flying out of the Blood Lake, only to be slaughtered by the stationed Great Sun Longsword Commander. Amidst the dancing sword-light, a Light Flame Flying Sword flew up and down, slashing at a Nascent Soul-level behemoth with a swirling large mouth.

The master of this Light Flame Flying Sword was a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, with an ancient appearance but a gaze that was so fervent and familiar.

Light Flame Heavenly Monarch, the strongest of this generation in the Great Sun Sword Sect.

He was already at the verge of birthing order. If he could ascend to the Upper Realm and receive enough fortune and adversaries, there was a two to three-tenths chance of comprehending order.

"This Blood Lake..."

Jiang Ding fell into recollection.

This seemed to have been left by the Blood Lake Ancestor of the Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain in those years, suspected to be linked to the great calamity.

This was the conjecture back then.

After Jiang Ding destroyed the entire Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain and read through all the cultivation method tomes, he confirmed it was an inevitable fact. The Blood Lake Ancestor used a forbidden secret technique to draw a trace of the great calamity's aura. If left unchecked, in the future, this Blood Lake might devour all life in the world.
