Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 494 - 479 Celebration

The heavenly tribulation scattered, and the danger was gone.

"At the early Golden Pill stage."

"Moreover, I have already traversed well over half of this stage, and after accumulating some more years, I can break through to the middle stage of the Golden Pill without encountering any bottlenecks."

Jiang Ding performed an inner view of himself.

Within his Elixir Field, a nine-aperture Golden Pill phantom shined brilliantly, rotating occasionally, inhaling and exhaling the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, converting it into the pure electromagnetic mana of the Golden Pill Realm and dripping it down.

The mana had already accumulated to near a third of the boundary.

"I'm feeling a bit inflated right now, wanting to kill a Nascent Soul Monk."

Jiang Ding, feeling the qualitative change in his mana, Divine Sense, and Sword Intent, couldn't help but entertain the thought.

"Stay calm."

"I must stay calm."

Jiang Ding took a deep breath, "I should be able to fight with an early-stage Nascent Soul Monk for some time, but if he wants to escape, I can't stop him. Nascent Soul Monks are capable of instantaneous movement. Provoking the Nascent Soul Monk's brothers and friends would be troublesome, too dangerous."

Of course, this was in reference to an ordinary Nascent Soul Monk.

If it were someone like An Tuzi at the early stage of Nascent Soul, just facing one of my moves could be lethal, without the chance for even a word more.

Having composed himself, he flew towards where his seniors and classmates were gathered.

"Hi there, completed Ph.D. thesis, you're looking good."

From a distance, Wu Mengsha greeted with a big laugh, acting wild and crazy, "Having verified it in practice, my thesis can be published in the leading journal of Xianmen Sect 'Cultivation.' I've got my hands on an Infant Formation Spiritual Object."

"Brothers, sisters, quickly cast your envious, jealous, and resentful gazes upon me!"

"Let me feel exhilarated."

"Damn!"

Golden Pill Monks from other majors uncontrollably let out exclamations, showing expressions of envy.

Infant Formation Spiritual Object!

One would have to fight to the death in interface wars for many years, go through numerous bloody battles, and countless opportunities before acquiring such an item.

Looking around, aside from Wu Mengsha, there were two others who also displayed a composed yet condescending demeanor.

The remaining Golden Pill Cultivators from the Great Sun Ruins Major were all in high spirits, with at least one essay for a second or third-tier journal secured, and their rewards being at least an Elixir or Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that could break through bottlenecks at later stages of the Golden Pill realm, freely chosen according to their needs.

You could say they had suddenly become incredibly wealthy!

"This major is gonna flourish."

Zhang Junsheng grinned like a chrysanthemum, his thoughts running wild.

"Although I cannot have a Daoist title for now, I believe my researcher level can still be raised a notch..."

"Congratulations."

"Congratulations, Jiang, on advancing to the Golden Pill stage, extending your life by six hundred years, with great prospects on the Dao."

With Jiang Ding's arrival, the surrounding classmates and onlooking Golden Pill and Foundation-building Cultivators offered their sincere congratulations, lacking the sharpness of rivalry between disciples of Immortal Sects, as they were not competing against each other.

Or rather, their competition was in a healthy and sufficiently fair state, where most people would be convinced by the outcome of failure, seeing no avenues to sabotage.

"Thank you."

"Thank you very much."

Jiang Ding smiled and expressed his gratitude several times, "I also wish that you all advance quickly to the Golden Pill and Nascent Soul stages, with great prospects on the Dao."

"Haha, I'll take your auspicious words for it."

Everyone around him laughed.

Making his way through the crowd, Jiang Ding approached Zhang Junsheng, Immortal Luling, Immortal Dinghai, and other Nascent Soul Monks, as well as teachers like the moral philosopher Ouyang Hui and the botanist Immortal Gulin, bowing deeply in front of them.

"Many thanks to the teachers for their tireless instruction and assistance. It's with your help that I've been able to successfully form my core. I wish that your cultivation progresses smoothly, that Nascent Soul is within your reach, that Divinity Transformation is foreseeable, that you may peer into Refining Nothingness, and live for tens of thousands of years."

His gratitude came from deep within.

Without Immortal Dinghai's consistent guidance over a century on Cultivation Methods, explaining the Dao Heart, and caring for various matters in cultivation;

Without Zhang Junsheng pioneering the Sword Dao in Xianmen Sect and laboriously traveling to and fro, developing the Core Formation secret technique;

```

Without the teachings of Immortal Luling on the art of army formations, without the help of sharpening sword intent;

Without the guidance of Teacher Ouyang Hui on ideologies, without the classes on plants taught by Teacher Gulin…

Without these,

Jiang Ding from Rongcheng City, even with his exceptional talent and profound opportunities, would now be nothing but a set of dry bones in the Rong City Public Cemetery.

"Haha!"

"Nascent Soul is within reach, Divinity Transformation is foreseeable, surveying the Refining Nothingness!"

"I love hearing that."

The many teachers laughed heartily, their eyes narrowed and their moods instantly lifted quite a bit.

This was a blessing spoken by the Dari Swordsman himself!

If this were some more traditional Small World, boasting a bit louder and saying "holding celestial mandates" wouldn't be a problem, and it would carry a lot of weight.

No, what does carrying weight mean.

This is clearly reality, the reality of the future!

"Do you want to stabilize your cultivation base first?"

Immortal Dinghai sized him up and down: "Never mind, it probably isn't necessary. In the next few years, you should not do anything else, just focus on converting the cultivation method of the 'All-transforming Magnetic Origin Sutra' at the Golden Pellet Realm. Your mana and cultivation methods are a bit mismatched right now, pay attention to the Qi Sea in Elixir Field when converting..."

He couldn't help but give advice.

"Yes, yes, understood."

Jiang Ding nodded repeatedly.

"For the aspect of honing sword intent, you can refer to the Great Sun Sword Intent of the previous generation Dari Swordsman, the one given by Senior Sun Extinguisher."

Immortal Luling interjected: "When you practice it for the first time, don't try it alone, it's best during class, to play it safe. The predecessor Dari Swordsman had God-transforming Level strength, and he was amongst the strong ones of Nascent Soul Cultivators."

"I wonder how Senior Sun Extinguisher is doing now."

He sighed with emotion.

"Breaking through to the Divinity Transformation is no easy task."

"Divinity Transformation..."

The surrounding Nascent Soul Monks showed longing expressions.

To teach at the top university of the Xianmen Sect, they were all strong among Nascent Soul Monks, with impeccable talent, battle achievements, Dao Heart, and cultivation methods, reaching the top-notch standards of Xianmen.

But still, Divinity Transformation remained a great obstacle.

In this lifetime, all they could hope for was to accumulate credits for Divinity Transformation, exchange for a chance at it, and then enter the Sleeping Hidden Realm to slumber, waiting in line for the opportunity to come.

Xianmen Sect is too poor!

Its history is too short, barely ten thousand years old, with a true rise of just a few thousand years.

That amount of time isn't even enough for the lifespan of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and many Divinity Transformation-tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures haven't matured in this time frame, so there's not much saving to talk about.

The controlled Small Worlds are too few, only thirteen, and one of them was occupied only in recent years, not even half the average level of the Eight Great Immortal Sects.

And their reach is spread too thin.

Facing the deterrence of the cultivator armies from forces like Xuanwu Heavenly Palace, the several Neutral Immortal Sects can only be said to be neutral now, unclear about the future, they must maintain strong military spending, and it's an enormous drain of Spirit Stones each year.

Due to various reasons, the wealth of the Xianmen cultivators is far below that of other cultivators at the same level.

Under such excessive internal competition, each year sees the demise of high-level cultivators with neither inferior talents nor strengths.

This is also why after the arrival of the Dari Swordsman, some felt fear towards the gradually increasing hostility against the Eight Great Immortal Sects. With pessimism, more cultivators yearn for a change to occur, unafraid to die in battle, fearing nothing.

"After reaching the Golden Pill, the technical excavation and research of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion can be accelerated."

Zhang Junsheng advised: "The secret technique of Infant Formation is somewhat challenging; you will need to be deeply involved in it."

"Additionally, the two of us better figure out a way to obtain help from Nascent Soul Cultivators, otherwise we definitely lack the needed reserve strength. After all, I am only a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Monk, well, almost late-stage."

"Understood."

Jiang Ding showed a solemn expression.

As his realm improves, this predicament will only get more and more serious. In the future, he might need to enter the Sleeping Hidden Realm to slumber for hundreds or thousands of years, waiting for technological advancements in the Immortal Path before awakening.
