Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 877 - 846 The Path of Refining Nothingness Appears Before the Great Sun Sword Pavilion

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch shared the research achievements of his team with Jiang Ding and the surrounding Heavenly Monarchs.

"An independently cycling and evolving ecosystem..."

Jiang Ding held his breath as he flipped open the semi-finished paper.

Inside, the data was detailed and the information was plentiful, thoroughly discussing the operational principles of these two first-order ecosystems from the Immortal Sect Disciples.

At the same time, it was also mentioned that these contained extremely profound Immortal Techniques. Knowing the principle was one thing, but it was uncertain whether it was possible to create something equivalent; more time was needed.

"It has similarities with some of our research theories."

Yuan quickly finished reading and interjected, "Refining Nothingness should be about giving birth to a concrete space in the Elixir Field, one that can absorb and generate Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, that kind of independent space; this is the origin of the thirty-thousand-year lifespan of Refining Nothingness."

"Thirty thousand years!"

"You must understand, our entire civilization's length from the time of the slave society to now has yet to reach thirty thousand years, yet the lifespan of an individual life form has achieved this, truly an unimaginable cosmic miracle."

"We have the guiding principles."

"It's just that a principle is merely a principle; how to realize it, however, is something we have yet to comprehend."

Yuan rubbed his hands together, very excited.

"If the technologies within these two first-order ecosystems could be conquered, it should indeed take the path of Refining Nothingness a big step forward!"

For Jiang Ding, this was the first time witnessing such an obvious display of emotion. Normally he always maintained his composure, being gentle and polite; now, he seemed as innocently joyful as a child.

"Look at the next page,"

"Don't say that we were so concerned with ourselves that we forgot about you."

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch smiled and continued, "Zhong Yuanzi and Shadow Demon Daoist both own different first-order ecosystems. I presume you should also want some in your 'Refining Void Space,' which is the name we've given it. In the Refining Void Space, there should also be different Sword Qis and Sword Intents."

"For example, Earth-Attribute Sword Intent should serve as the foundation of the space;

Fire-attributed, lava-attributed Sword Intents represent the construction of earth's dragons' veins and Spiritual Veins;

Wind-Frost-Rain-Snow Sword Intents add flow to the space, keeping the water from stagnating and the hinge from rotting;

Wood-Attribute Sword Intent brings vitality;

Yin-Attribute Sword Intent brings death;

Yang-Attribute Sword Intent illuminates the world with its radiance..."

"The most important, of course, is the core Great Sun Destroying Sword Intent, overseeing the eternal sky!"

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch introduced one by one the research findings of their team, the scientific conjectures of Immortal Path, which led Jiang Ding into a flurry of thoughts and inspirations.

"These Sword Intents are not meant for you to plunder from others—it seems to be possible, but you may get stuck in the eternal bottleneck of the early Refining Void Stage, never to break through."

"The Righteous Way should be to comprehend these Sword Intents, those of the earth, fire, magma, wind-frost-rain-snow, etc., and to simulate these with your own Sword Intent."

"You should know that everything comes into existence from all things."

"Only by fully understanding everything can the most powerful Great Sun Destroying Sword Intent be born."

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch confidently said.

"I have some confidence that this should be the path of Refining Nothingness for the Great Sun Sword Pavilion."

"Different Sword Intents..."

In Jiang Ding's heart, a sense of déjà vu suddenly emerged.

When Immortal Jinyu, Kan Yu Maid, Autumn Maid, Winter Snow Maid, and others died, the various superficial insights that emerged in his heart about Rain Sword Intent, Summer Sword Intent, Winter Snow Sword Intent, and so on…

And at the peak of Great Sun Sword Pavilion, the more than tens of thousands of different Sword Intents...

The feverish enthusiasm of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion's sword cultivators for dueling with sword cultivators and magic intention cultivators...

All these things that used to be ordinary.

At this moment, when connected, everything became clear as day!

"Senior, your confidence, I think, should be correct!"

Jiang Ding said excitedly.

"Does your sword dao intuition innately agree?"

"Then this direction should be solid."

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch pondered, "Now, it's the same dilemma as ours, we have the direction but not the technical means; we have to develop everything from scratch.

"It's best for you to get involved and try out your own Immortal Sword Qi and Sword Intent ecosystem, and keep making corrections in practice."

"Don't worry, yours isn't a breakthrough to Refining Nothingness. It's much simpler and not as difficult, a few hundred years should be about right."

"Yes, senior."

Jiang Ding nodded earnestly.

"Yuan, Refining Nothingness is about giving birth to Rule Power, and that's extremely difficult..."

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch turned his head and began discussing with Yuan and other seniors, the topic suddenly escalating in countless levels of difficulty.

These Jiang Ding could not comprehend.

The information conveyed in the words of the Heavenly Monarchs was mostly beyond his ability to grasp, his Divine Soul had limited capacity, rendering him as deaf and blind, with no foundation for research.

However, Jiang Ding was not discouraged. He approached the Golden Bathing Beauties Painting and began to contemplate the Golden Causality within the clues of Immortal Technique.

This task had already been ongoing for hundreds of years. He frequently read the exploratory papers of his seniors, and occasionally made progress, deepening his understanding of the Golden Causality.

After contemplating for several months, Jiang Ding's Divine Soul was significantly depleted, and he woke up unsteadily, rising to walk outside.

Not far away, Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch and a group of old friends were hiding from Yuan, Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch, and other Ancient Transcendents, chatting and boasting.

"The external enemies have been temporarily resolved. Can we now kill Xu's Transmutation God and Wang Clan's Transmutation God?"

"Those are two Small Worlds, wasted in their hands."

"You don't know, there's some trouble."

"Back in the day, those two curs signed a treaty with the Central Array Spirit Computer. As long as they don't significantly violate the law, Immortal Gate Citizens cannot act against them; the Central Array Spirit Computer would intervene."

"What's the problem?"

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch was unconcerned.

"I've already thought about it. Dozens of us will renounce our citizenship, leave Xianmen, and we don't have to talk about any Jianghu morals with those evil heretics. Just shoulder to shoulder, we can encircle and kill them directly."

"Xianmen has no responsibility to protect them from being surrounded and killed by Loose Cultivator Transmutation Gods. If they die, they die."

"It's not that simple."

Immortal Pingyang shook his head, "Firstly, we need to ensure that Outer Realm Great Experts won't interfere. Regardless of whether the Great Experts interfere or not, with our great family business, we have to prepare as if they will step in to make sure our foundation is absolutely secure."

"So, dozens of Transmutation Cultivators renouncing their citizenship definitely won't work, we must ensure the safety of the Starry Sky Troops."

"At most seven or eight Nascent Soul Cultivators."

He thought for a moment.

"Also, when those two curs signed the treaty, they also considered this matter. It states that if Loose Cultivators use Air-Space Warplanes, Warships, or Starry Sky Fortresses to encircle them, Xianmen also has an obligation to send troops."

"The situation was critical back then, and we had to agree."

"This means that if we want to encircle and kill the two of them, without risking the collapse of the Starry Sky defenses, we can only use seven or eight Nascent Soul Cultivators, and we can't have any Starry Sky Fortresses... This is not very stable."

Pingyang Heavenly Monarch expressed his difficulties.

"We are noble Heavenly Monarchs of Overlord-level Forces of the Domain, not like those two bumpkins who fight without a second thought. It's not worth it. We should at least have a ninety-eight percent chance of success, right?"

"Indeed."

"Pingyang makes sense."

The surrounding Heavenly Monarchs agreed deeply.

"So..."

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch was unwilling to give up.

"Let's wait a little longer, wait until more Heavenly Monarchs are born, until we recover and exceed the original military force of Xianmen, and reach the number of two hundred Heavenly Monarchs, that can be called foolproof."

"It's not worth the risk for those two curs right now."

"Just a thousand or two thousand years."

Immortal Pingyang comforted him.

"A thousand or two thousand years, it's too long, not worth it..."

Niri Heavenly Monarch pouted and gestured for the others to look in a certain direction.

Not far away, a young man in green passed by, sixteen years of age, with a naive appearance and a Longsword at his waist, walking unsteadily.

The surrounding Heavenly Monarchs' eyes lit up together.
