Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 2245 - 2212: Birth of the Locking Spirit Element

Many supremes left with excitement, leaving only two people and the nearby Vermilion Bird Saintess curiously watching them.

"Is this fellow Daoist the current Vermilion Bird Saintess?"

Jiang Ding did not release the girl in his arms, smiling as he asked.

Throughout history, the Vermilion Bird Holy Land and Fusang Holy Land had been life-and-death blood allies, allies of empresses, supporting each other through many generations of immortal courts, enduring numerous conspiracies and cunning traps.

The current Vermilion Bird Saintess looked extraordinary.

She was a cute female cultivator wearing a lake-blue palace dress with skin as white as snow, bright large eyes, and an obvious curve at her chest, seemingly at the threshold of breaking through from Eight Tribulation Venerable to Quasi-Emperor.

Very impressive indeed.

It is worth mentioning that the Fusang Holy Land had not expanded, with insufficient capability to obtain resources from the outside world, and the cultivation environment was far inferior compared to the Taoist court.

"Your Majesty, I am Vermilion Bird."

The Vermilion Bird Saintess looked at the person in front of her with great admiration, docile and adorable.

" Indeed, Fellow Daoist is truly a hero."

"The Vermilion Bird Holy Land assisted me many times within the time rift. To see the successors now is indeed a pleasure."

Jiang Ding praised with a smile.

The Vermilion Bird Saintess lowered her head slightly, feeling a bit shy.

In her heart, she felt a bit disappointed yet also somewhat relieved.

The immortal court harem had always been notorious for its intriguingly treacherous nature, where even involving the Eight Tribulation Venerable, Quasi-Emperor, or Nine Tribulation Venerable could lead to death.

However, it seemed that she need not worry about this issue now.

"Soft persimmon, what is the Fusang Holy Land planning?"

Jiang Ding looked down at the woman resting her eyes closed against his chest and asked.

"Your Majesty’s stance is the stance of Fusang Holy Land."

The Fusang Saintess, reluctant to lift her head, murmured.

"Alright, then let’s return to the Fallen Realm."

"The Vermilion Bird South Emperor Star Ring should not require your involvement, just focus on your research work and ensure your safety."

Jiang Ding nodded.

"Is it the legendary Fallen Realm?"

The Vermilion Bird Saintess asked curiously.

The Perishing Immortal Realm had been recorded many times in the history of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land of the immortal court. Still, once the immortal court collapsed, this Great Thousand World would vanish, often requiring the re-establishment of an immortal court to be rediscovered by a True Immortal or Human Emperor and set up a teleportation formation again, a very peculiar Great Thousand World.

"Exactly so."

"You can settle there for some time. When the Phoenix Heavenly Nest collapses, you will see me."

Jiang Ding spoke gently.

Buzz ～

With a mere thought, the Da Ri Sword Immortal’s will enveloped the entire Fusang Holy Land and the Fusang Divine Tree, forming a layer of Destruction Membrane wrapping it.

The Fusang Divine Tree hummed in cooperation, both working in harmony.

In fact, the Da Ri Sword Immortal herself, who had consumed the Fusang Sun Immortal Fruit, naturally carried a strong affinity with the Fusang Divine Tree, returning here felt like coming home.

The surroundings shifted, transforming into a chaotic stream of time and space.

The next moment, the entire Fusang Holy Land disappeared from this desolate starry sky.

Leaving only a green-clothed youth.

Jiang Ding sat cross-legged here, continuing to observe the operational laws of the Heavenly Fire Dao across the True Phoenix Star Domains with black-and-white eyes, observing the birth, ascension, success, failure, and reproduction of numerous flame beings within the True Phoenix Star Domains to gather detailed information on the cosmological constants of the True Phoenix Immortal Dynasty.

...

Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace.

Many Quasi-Emperor research teams and star domain-level research teams gathered.

The Da Ri Sword Immortal sat in the center of the palace, with the Destruction Dao authority faintly appearing behind her, exuding an suffocatingly terrifying aura.

However, this was not for deterrence but part of a research process.

Yuan, Cheng Zhen, Beidou Venerable, Seven Kill Sword Venerable, Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Venerable, and others were tense, conducting one test after another, experimenting over and over, using the Destruction Dao to influence various aspects of a world, especially affecting certain Great Daos.

"Preliminary results..."

A tiny particle appeared in Jiang Ding’s hand.

This particle seemed to be a product born from the depths of the Destruction Dao, extremely minute, gradually revealing a specific form under the continual magnification of the black-and-white eyes.

This was a tiny particle eternally rotating like Yin Yang, similar to the foundational spirit element of the Immortal Path.

It could also be called Destruction Locking Spirit Pearl.

Around this Locking Spirit, the Heavenly Fire Dao among the three thousand Great Paths began to sink into silence, extinction, even becoming utterly ineffective.

Jiang Ding’s gaze fell upon Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Venerable.

Many Quasi-Emperors simultaneously turned their eyes here, full of anticipation.

"Yes, Sword Master."

Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Venerable bowed and drew his sword, with golden sunfire burning on it, a terrifying flame that could ignite the entire world with one strike.

Clang!

The moment this sword slashed out, it extinguished as it approached the Locking Spirit.

Only the sword of Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Venerable slashed into the void, losing all flame power, flame rules, anything related to the Heavenly Fire Dao was forbidden, leaving this otherwise flawless sword attack lacking more than half of the sword’s structure, collapsing instantly, with minimal power.

"Some use."

"But not much."

Jiang Ding briefly closed his eyes, calculating and assessing, then opened them again, "The power of destruction, I have it within myself, the Destruction Locking Spirit Pearl needs ’craft,’ needs technique, to strike against the True Phoenix Immortal Dao System with a higher-level of Immortal Technology, rather than brutally suppressing it with destructive power."

"Objectively speaking, within the Vermilion Bird South Emperor Star Ring, my strength is far less than that of True Phoenix Son."

"We need revisions, to allow the Locking Spirit to subtly, silently impact the True Phoenix Immortal Dao System so that when they realize the depth of its influence, the Immortal Dao System is already terminally ill."

Jiang Ding shared his insights.

This was not random targeting nor whimsical; he himself was the strongest researcher, making significant contributions to the research objectives and having accurate judgment in this area.

"Yes, Sword Master!"

Many Quasi-Emperors received new detailed projects, plunging back into busy research.

...

Tushan Central Court.

A Fusang Divine Tree silently emerged within the palace, spreading holy land structures in all directions, with many holy land cultivators looking around curiously.

The Fusang Saintess and Vermilion Bird Saintess stepped out from the divine tree, holding hands as they walked towards Tushan Palace.

There, held the most Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy’s presence.

In the past, especially in the early days of the Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy, she frequently cultivated there quietly; as a wife, her residence naturally should be there too.

Suddenly, the Fusang Saintess stopped momentarily.

"Your Highness Fusang Saintess,"

"Welcome back."

A girl in a white dress and a group of forbidden palace maids slightly bowed, clearing the way in front of them.

Notably, the girl in a white dress did not bow. Only the many Tushan maids did; her attitude towards the empress was merely polite.

Her responsibility was to guard the forbidden palace, awaiting the Sword Immortal’s return, or possibly new orders from the Sword Immortal.

Any life affecting these two duties must be eliminated.

An empress was no exception.

"Princess Caiyu, no need to be so formal."

"This is sufficient."

The Fusang Saintess smiled faintly, speaking softly.

Towards this Quasi-Emperor, who clearly shared a strong bond with the Sword Immortal, she couldn’t help but begin to feel a sense of cautiousness.
