Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 925 - 896: Golden Pill Sword Embryo

Immortals of Nascent Soul may be numerous, powerful, and high-ranking, yet they can only stay in the outermost layer.

The very center, the best region, protected and veiled by Heavenly Monarch formations, is for Golden Pill Peak Cultivators. An Siyan, Jin Lingfeng, Immortal Gulin, Ouyang Hui, Liu Xiong and others are all gathered here.

"The Dari Swordsman, his Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation is too terrifying!"

Liu Xiong took a deep breath.

Facing such a tribulation, he instinctively felt an immense fear, as if being watched by a wild beast from ancient times, unable to breathe.

"How things change."

"When I think back to the first time I saw him, he was a little sixteen-year-old kid."

Ouyang Hui also sighed with emotion.

He recalled the hundreds of years ago when an innocent young boy first entered Qingfeng University, stepped into the classroom of ideals and morals.

"To think that now, he has surpassed me, about to become an Immortal of Nascent Soul."

"Not just that."

Immortal Gulin chuckled softly, "Moreover, he is a Dari Swordsman at the Nascent Soul Stage!"

"Many Nascent Soul Cultivators and Heavenly Monarchs from Immortal Sects, after today, I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep, and even when they're in seclusion, they will have to keep one eye open."

"Even now, I estimate that many Immortal Sect Heavenly Monarchs are constantly monitoring the news from the Xianmen Sect."

"Do you feel sorry for them?"

An Siyan smiled with pursed lips.

A Dari Swordsman of the Nascent Soul Stage, like Zhong Guangzi, left unforgettable memories for Nascent Soul Cultivators from Immortal Sects, especially those who participated in the annihilation of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion three thousand years ago.

These individuals are still alive today.

...

In higher spheres of space, numerous Heavenly Monarchs are also being spectators, not considering this to be a mere Golden Pill advancement ceremony for juniors to Nascent Soul.

"It's secured!"

"Definitely secured!"

"When Immortal Sect Disciples advance, as long as the process begins, there has never been a failure reported below Refining Nothingness, and even the advancement to Refining Nothingness rarely fails. The few historical exceptions had special reasons."

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch shook his blonde hair from his forehead, excitedly saying, "Xu Jiezhong and Wang Realm, quickly find someone to plan out what resources are inside, what industries are suitable for development, and get them all ready. We're going to start using them immediately."

"Xu Yan and Wang... whatever... forget it, insignificant Loose Cultivators, not worthy of my memory."

"In any case, I really want to see their expressions when they hear about the Dari Swordsman's advancement to Nascent Soul. I simply can't wait."

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch rubbed his hands together eagerly, "Fatty, have you secured those two realms yet? Don't let those two bastards escape. Once our Dari Swordsman advances to Nascent Soul, we'll go straight into action!"

"Big brother, don't be in such a hurry."

Canghai Heavenly Monarch kept advising:

"The sealing is done, in the name of protecting the safety of citizens traveling abroad, it's a routine military operation. But you should wait, at least until our Dari Swordsman has stabilized his Cultivation Base, updated his magic, and advanced to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, so he is on the same level as those two."

"Play it safe, play it safe."

"Right, right, right, Sun Extinguisher, don't pass the risk onto the junior, be more cautious. It's okay, we're all Heavenly Monarchs, we have plenty of time, no rush."

The surrounding Heavenly Monarchs also urged him repeatedly.

"From what I see in the history of the Immortal Sect, it doesn't take long for Disciples to reach the mid-stages when advancing realms because their foundations are too deep. As soon as they advance, they hit the peak of the Golden Core Initial Stage, the peak of the Early Stage of Nascent Soul, the peak of the Early Stage of God Transformation, with basically no accidents."

"It won't be long."

...

The heavy clouds, dark as ink, suddenly expanded, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring.

Two thousand kilometers, three thousand kilometers, five thousand kilometers, eight thousand kilometers... nine thousand kilometers!

The clouds broke through the Formation Method constraints of Silver Sky Island, breaching outward, appearing in the atmosphere of Lanying Planet.

From space, a black blemish like a spill of ink appeared on the azure planet, with purple lightning snakes flickering inside, exuding a terrifying aura that even Heavenly Monarchs found dangerous.

By this time, the Immortals of Nascent Soul who had come to watch had already despaired, lost their faith, and were pleading for rescue from their Heavenly Monarch seniors, deploying formations for cover, no longer daring to face the majesty of the Heavenly Tribulation directly.

The Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, at this point, possessed the power to destroy heavens and earth, aptly named the destroyer of planetary surface ecosystems.

At the center of the Heavenly Tribulation, inside the column-like vortex of Spiritual Energy, a young man in green clothes sat calmly, his clothing not stirring with the fierce winds.

A radius of a hundred zhang around him remained in absolute stillness, without a single ripple.

"Heavenly Tribulation, it's quite terrifying, wanting to kill me..."

Jiang Ding mused to himself.

The clouds of the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky emitted the aura of Divinity Transformation, posing a serious threat to his life, not as tranquil as it seemed on the surface.

Jiang Ding used Inner Vision on his Elixir Field.

In his Elixir Field, brimming with Mana, the madness of the incoming Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi expanded it more than tenfold, thinning the walls of the Elixir Field to a sheer layer, nearly transparent, as if about to burst at any moment.

The liquid Mana of the Wan Hua Magnetic Element Scripture, under high density pressure, was like amniotic fluid cradling the fetus within its womb... No, not a Golden Pill, but a three-inch long Blue-Gold Flying Sword; for the Golden Pill is also the sword.

Threads and wisps of Blue-Gold Sword Qi, containing the aura of the undying, wove together, wrapping around, forming a thin sheath enveloping the Taiqing Flying Sword, gradually shaping into a spherical fetus.

This is called, the Sword Embryo!

Just as it is with Cultivators' Golden Pills, for the lineage of the Great Sun, their Golden Pills are their Life Flying Swords, inseparable from each other.

Now, at this pivotal moment of ascension, it had reverted to its essence, forming the embryo of the Golden Pill.

This Sword Embryo, ravenously drew in the dense Wan Hua Magnetic Primordial Power within the Elixir Field, hastening its own growth, continually maturing; from the chaotic placenta, differentiating hands, feet, eyes, nose, ears...

Just like the birth of human infants!

Within the myriad things of heaven and earth, many natural principles reveal stunning parallels at certain moments.

Human infants draw nourishment from the womb for birth.

Golden Pill Monks' Golden Pills, like the fetus in chaos, draw Mana, the Cultivator's spirit, Divine Soul, and a lifetime of experiences of Enlighten the Dao, transforming into the growing Divine Soul infant, hence undergo a drastic change, acquiring a formidable space affinity, with significantly extended lifespan and essence of life.

At this moment, the degree of the Sword Embryo's greed for Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi and Mana inside Jiang Ding's Elixir Field was alarming.

Within the nine thousand kilometers range of the Heavenly Tribulation, all Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi surged toward this place, passing through meridians, Divine Soul, and the complex network of the Wan Hua Magnetic Element Scripture, refined into Mana, then absorbed by the Taiqing Sword Embryo.

It seemed endless!

No matter how much Mana was generated, it was absorbed by the Taiqing Sword Embryo for its growth, a black hole of Mana.

Jiang Ding was not in a hurry.

His Divine Sense and the Sword Qi, now tinged with incipient immortal will, permeated heaven and earth, and in conjunction with his Divine Soul—five times stronger than those of his level—exploited the special nature of the Heavenly Tribulation. Drawing in the Spiritual Energy of the nine thousand kilometers range to nurture himself, he proceeded at his own pace, unconcerned about any internal or external calamities.

Months passed,

one year passed,

two years passed,

the Taiqing Sword Embryo still had not reached its limit, it continued to take in the Spiritual Energy of a nine thousand kilometer radius to transform into Mana for growth, remained unactivated by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Until the third year.

Gradually, from within the Taiqing Sword Embryo, a sense of fulfillment emerged, and within its sheath, it seemed an infant could be seen standing inside the three-inch Flying Sword.
