What kind of fish would be this stupid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he doesn’t need it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one could forge a foundation worthy of a Dao Son of the Nine Immortal Sects, yet still requires a pill to break through Foundation Establishment, that would be an insult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Jiang Ding suppressed his aura and traveled at a steady pace, his internal force cycling through the twelve regular meridians, surging into the already opened Ren and Du meridians, continuously warming and refining all major and minor meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Qing Ling He Tian Method: Requirements for cultivation—spiritual soul at least twice as strong as an ordinary person’s, supreme comprehension, internal force fully perfected; after cultivation, one can perceive the state of ‘Unity with Heaven and Earth,’ where every movement and gesture gains the power of heaven and earth, greatly enhancing its strength…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The power of heaven and earth: high ground rises, low ground flows against the current—effort doubles, results halve; high ground flows with the current—effort halves, results double…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding crushed the wooden book in his hand, letting wood shavings fall bit by bit, his thoughts unceasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual soul strength doesn’t reach the requirement—it’s no different from an ordinary person’s. The rest are manageable: his internal force far exceeds the Jianghu definition of ‘perfect internal energy,’ and he has some confidence in his comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Unity with Heaven and Earth...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this about adjusting one’s spiritual soul frequency to match the ambient spiritual energy’s frequency, thereby drawing in resonant spiritual energy with every movement? Is that the meaning?...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The power of heaven and earth—spiritual energy within heaven and earth is constantly in motion. When many spiritual energy particles move in unison, they form a ‘current.’ If one strikes in alignment with this current, perhaps one gains greater amplification...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many mysterious Qingniu Palace terms, accessible only to elders and high-ranking sect members, appeared in his mind in an entirely different light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there such a technique in the library? There should be.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding traveled while thinking, continuing for another seven or eight hours until darkness fell, then returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, it was eleven or twelve in the morning; Lin Wanyi had already gone to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t go out with classmates?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding went to the kitchen, washing the potatoes, tomatoes, and scallions he’d bought that morning, and asked Jiang Yuan, who was watching cartoons, casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who has the mood?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan slumped on the sofa, weakly: “Just thinking about having to go to cram school after the Lantern Festival makes my life feel utterly dark, with no hope left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then keep being dark.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding gripped the hilt of his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword drew—three randomly placed potatoes and tomatoes instantly sliced into threads, pieces became thin slices; a few more strikes, and the beef turned into thin cuts, the scallions into segments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s dishes were braised beef with potatoes and tomato scrambled eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oil poured, pan tossed, rich aroma spread everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, Jiang Ding organized his sword, talisman sword, pistol, and other items, then stepped out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan, who was washing dishes, suddenly perked up: “You’re rushing out like this—are you going to meet your girlfriend? Take me with you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Girlfriend? You’ll never see one in your life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding paused, then asked: “I’m going to the library. Do you want to come? Reading martial and immortal cultivation texts, and understanding them, helps your academic performance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then forget it. Go ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan rolled her eyes and went back to washing dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rongcheng Library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shenmu Futian banyan tree, housing Rongcheng’s Chanling computer mainframe, remained lush and vibrant; time had left no trace of yellowing. Kingfisher couriers chirped on its branches, occasionally flying off in flocks—on-duty couriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding chose an empty reading room and typed “Unity with Heaven and Earth,” “Power of Heaven and Earth,” and other terms into the computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Row after row of results refreshed—similar to the Hundred Steps Flying Sword—and even at page 99, it hadn’t ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked the first result: a doctoral thesis from Qianling University’s Dao Studies Department, “Exploring the Concept and Principles of Unity with Heaven and Earth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...The spiritual energy of every world possesses a 'spectrum' and 'frequency.' When subdivided into individual regions—lakes, forests, deserts, etc.—each has its own unique spiritual energy 'frequency.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If a cultivator or martial artist can adjust their spiritual soul’s ‘frequency’ to match the environment’s, they can trigger varying degrees of spiritual energy resonance, thereby borrowing power...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Specific methods mostly involve hypnosis, visualization, etc., to adjust spiritual soul frequency. The most crucial step is first measuring the environment’s ‘spiritual energy frequency,’ then making targeted adjustments...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Immortal sects are severely lacking in this area. It seems martial cultivators using cold weapons find it easier to achieve this—even among high-level cultivators. The reason is unknown; perhaps exploration is insufficient, and the fundamental principles have not been studied deeply enough...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding browsed through many books, most conveying similar principles, with many details even more thorough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, nearly all books were research based on captured external realm cultivators’ and martial artists’ techniques, with no breakthrough progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding noted down the most cited and most-read book: “Unity with Heaven and Earth and the Visualization Method for Spiritual Soul Frequency Adjustment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One cannot cultivate it unless the spiritual soul reaches at least twice the strength of an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he forges his Dao foundation sword using Taiqing Shen Tie as the base material, his spiritual soul will surge rapidly within a short time, meeting the requirement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, he could use instruments to measure the precise spiritual energy frequency of this region, accelerating cultivation somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this ‘acceleration’ is relative—it remains a domain accessible only to prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Qing Ling He Tian Method...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding’s fingers flew across the keyboard, typing lines of spirit script into the text. Soon, seven or eight minutes passed, and a complete secret manual of Unity with Heaven and Earth was successfully uploaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chanling quickly completed its judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding! You have uploaded new knowledge: ‘251 Interface—Unity with Heaven and Earth Method—Qing Ling He Tian Method.’ Reward: 352 points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These points indicate the Qing Ling He Tian Method contains some unique knowledge, but its value is low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding was delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After freely accessing so much immortal cultivation knowledge in the library, he had finally added a single tile to its foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He imagined countless previous immortal sect elders must have felt this same joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back home, after eating, Jiang Ding returned once more to the deep woods beside the official road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He replaced the drone’s battery, confirmed direction, then stepped forward, continuing at his steady pace toward Yuejing, his internal force constantly refining and warming his meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven days later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding glanced toward Yuejing but did not head there; instead, he walked straight toward a small hill to the east.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike immortal cultivators,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>martial sects heavily rely on densely populated areas as their foundation, to gather the vast quantities of meat, herbs, and talented disciples they need for training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any sect far from bustling regions will rapidly decline within a decade or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around Yuejing, numerous martial sects are scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most famous among them is naturally the mountain gate of the Golden Knife Sect, one of the Six Great Sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden Knife Mountain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place is where he stored the Taiqing Shen Tie.\u003C\u002Fp>",1266,"2026-06-20T23:34:14.007Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","dda8cc71ad20da3ecf469636ac42da744ab555f87861de7625a169683aa6740c","cluster-artillery-shattering-the-immortals-chapter-105","cluster-artillery-shattering-the-immortals-chapter-103",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcluster-artillery-shattering-the-immortals-cover.jpg"]
