Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 934 - 905 Great Sun Escape Technique, Ten Thousand Li Radiant Sword

The Divine Tree was ten thousand meters tall, shining with dazzling brilliance.

As the leaves of the Divine Tree breathed in and out, the heavens and the earth dimmed, and a black hole formed, absorbing spiritual energy and sunlight. No matter how much was funneled from the outside world, it was never enough.

In the end, this location, blessed with a third-order superior spiritual vein, even became a place with scarce spiritual energy—a land of weakened spirit.

Jiang Ding walked into the Sun God Wood, navigating through its branches.

It was as if he was riding the wind through the void, without knowing where to stop; as if he was isolated from the world, about to ascend to immortality, breathing in the mechanism of heaven and earth.

At this moment, the Taiqing Flying Sword, a treasure of the Primordial Spirit, had already attained such a grandeur!

"Request access to the fourth-grade superior spiritual vein."

Jiang Ding said softly.

Before getting his hands on the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, he had no wish to change his dormitory.

"Ding!"

"This area is a Qingfeng University third-grade superior spiritual vein dormitory. The spiritual vein network requires temporary expansion and modification. The cost is two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, and the work will take eight months. Do you confirm?"

The voice of the dormitory's Array Spirit came.

"Can it be done within five minutes?"

Jiang Ding asked.

"It can, but the cost will be thirty-four million low-grade spirit stones."

"Confirmed."

Jiang Ding signed the bill.

Minutes later, accompanied by the sounds of the world changing and branches moving, the area underwent a radical transformation, with the concentration of spiritual energy soaring to the level of a fourth-grade superior spiritual vein.

At that moment, the Sun God Wood, standing ten thousand meters high, slowed its inhalation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as its demand was met, and the shrouded darkness was restored.

However, it was still quite dim, and the naked eye couldn't see further than ten meters away.

"The realm within no longer suits my cultivation," Jiang Ding reflected. "I need to leave the atmosphere, break free from the shelter of the mother star, and go into the starry sky to face the sunlight's divine radiance directly, absorbing the Great Sun True Fire for my own cultivation and for the growth of the Taiqing Flying Sword."

"The sunlight filtered by the atmosphere of the mother star is simply not enough."

"However, there's no rush. First, I need to learn the Concealment Spell and Escape Technique, to restore my normal living and combat abilities, otherwise, I can accomplish nothing."

Jiang Ding browsed through the Xianmen Library.

In fact, there wasn't much to browse; he just needed to choose the top-ranked fourth-order electromagnetic concealment spell.

The Xianmen Sect did not have any incomplete secret techniques hidden in their Sutra Pavilion that no one could learn, merely waiting for someone fated to stumble upon them by chance, discovering a heavenly opportunity and thus acquiring them.

The most powerful techniques of Xianmen Sect were always listed first.

They are the culmination of countless generations of tireless exploration, development, and the crystallization of wisdom from many predecessors.

The luminescence of the books was dazzling to the point of being hard to ignore.

"'Great Magnetic Light Concealing Soul Technique,'"

"As cultivators are like celestial magnetic fields, constantly radiating pulses of divine soul, life, and electromagnetic energy, being perceived by the outside world, captured by other cultivators—to know of the cultivator's existence, one must, therefore, contain their own soul's magnetic field pulsations, life's fluctuations..."

"This will be the one."

Jiang Ding was quite satisfied at first glance.

This top-tier technique, in conjunction with Heavenly Void Myriad Concealment Profound Gold, would ensure that most Nascent Soul Cultivators couldn't discover his whereabouts. Once cultivated to the extreme, he could essentially achieve complete concealment at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Sensory techniques and concealment techniques were two sides of the same coin; where sensory techniques were strong, concealment techniques were not weak.

The Xianmen Sect's mastery in the art of Concealment was also very high, second only to the Shadow Demon Abyss.

It couldn't be helped that they were somewhat behind.

This wasn't just a matter of technique alone.

The practices, life treasures, even the Dao Heart and Magic Intention of the Shadow Demon Abyss all had a full spectrum of concealment buffs, whereas if you only had a single Concealment Spell, you couldn't compete.

"As for fourth-order Escape Techniques, no need for Xianmen ones, the Great Sun Sword Pavilion's Nascent Soul inheritance has it."

Jiang Ding rifled through his Divine Soul.

He had obtained the entire Nascent Soul Stage inheritance of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion in the Northern Plains and was a bona fide Dari Swordsman, fully representing the crystallization of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion and the wisdom of the Xianmen Sect's Immortal Path exploration at the Nascent Soul phase.

He stood as the culmination of the peak achievements in the Immortal Path bestowed upon him by both powers.

Over the past years, he had gradually extracted the Divine Soul from the Great Sun inheritance and placed it into the Xianmen Library, earning a large number of library points.

"This one seems pretty good."

"The exclusive Sword Escaping inheritance technique of the Great Sun Sword Master and Dari Swordsmen lineage - 'Ten Thousand Li Radiant Sword'."

"Sword?"

Jiang Ding returned to check again.

It indeed was an Escape Technique, but it was also Swordsmanship.

"...With Immortal Sword Intent, merging body and sword into endless radiance, covering the sky and spanning tens of thousands of miles, striking in an instant..."

"Goodness, starting with the Fourth Realm of Sword Dao's Immortal Sword Intent."

Jiang Ding smacked his lips.

Such was the nature of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion's Escape Techniques, emphasizing the ultimate offence; even the skills meant for fleeing or making haste had to result in a kill to be perfect, otherwise, they felt somewhat insufficient.

"That's not good."

"Too conspicuous."

"Bro, you're just traveling or trying to save your skin, but with all the radiance and covering the heavens, what's all this for?"

Jiang Ding was not entirely satisfied.

This was completely at odds with his aesthetic and combat habits.

"Forget it, I'll use this for now."

"When I'm free, I'll adjust it bit by bit, add electromagnetic affinity, remove all light and shadow effects, ideally make it without shadow or trace, completely undetectable by anyone, like a dream."

Right then, Jiang Ding took two inheritance techniques and pondered over them carefully.

On the whole, they were not difficult.

Jiang Ding estimated that in no more than five years, he could grasp the basics.

Then it would be a matter of perseverance, continually comprehending, learning, and growing—that's the necessary path for absorbing predecessors' wisdom.

Studying these two techniques occupied about fifty percent of his Divine Soul's computational power.

After accounting for cultivation and mana accumulation, he still had twenty-five percent of his Divine Soul computational power left. Factoring in allocations for various research projects and discussions with seniors about different subjects, there was still some to spare.

"I should also start considering the refining of the Taiqing Flying Sword."

Jiang Ding recalled the heritage of refining a Primordial Spirit Treasure he had reviewed.

"Anything above eighteen Heavenly Gang Restrictions counts as a Primordial Spirit Treasure, and thirty-six Heavenly Gang Restrictions is the peak of such treasures. An average Divinity Transformation Cultivator requires nearly ten thousand years to refine a Primordial Spirit to perfection."

"On average, it takes five hundred years to refine a single Heavenly Gang Restriction of a Primordial Spirit Treasure."

"What a lengthy process!"

Jiang Ding exclaimed.

Refining a single Heavenly Gang Restriction of a Primordial Spirit Treasure was a lifetime for a Golden Pill Monk.

No wonder many Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarchs say everyone below Nascent Souls are ants; during the time it takes to refine a Heavenly Gang Restriction, they would have seen countless generations of Golden Pill, Qi cultivating, and Foundation-building cultivators come and go.

How could they develop any attachment to these lesser beings after witnessing such scenes?

"However, I won't need that long."

"I am a genius."

Jiang Ding brimmed with confidence as he recalled contents of the Great Sun inheritance: "Scorching Sun Spirit Iron is no longer useful; I need a composite material called Great Sun Luminous Gold. The method for refining it is detailed thoroughly; roughly every sixty years, I can refine one Heavenly Gang Restriction of a Primordial Spirit Treasure. That's nearly ten times faster than a regular Heavenly Monarch."

"Though it's still very long, taking over a thousand years to refine to a Primordial Spirit's perfection."

"Under the influence of Immortal Sword Intent, a Swordsman's lifespan is two thousand years, which is quite tolerable. If I'm still dissatisfied and want to speed up the process..."

"Then I have to go kill my peers, the Taoist disciples."
