Chapter 335: Outside the World Clusters

"Unable to develop?"

"Outside the world clusters?"

Distance; as long as the distance is sufficiently vast, no great power can do anything about it.

"The Immortal Sect's main force cannot descend, and I cannot take people or puppets I cannot control over there."

Jiang Ding felt deeply disappointed.

It was as if he saw flocks of spirit stone mountains flying away with wings, along with various rare heavenly treasures and materials that could be exchanged at low prices, all vanishing completely.

At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Extremely complex.

"If the Immortal Sect's main force cannot come, then I must handle it myself."

Jiang Ding took some time to calm his emotions and fell into thought: "The Dari Sect is still very far away, but the Mo Sect and Liu Dao Sect show signs of retreating to Yue Country. Even though the possibility currently seems low, they have many choices and may not necessarily come to Yue Country, but we must still prepare for the worst."

"Currently, my crisis contingency plans can only handle crises in Yue Country and surrounding forces. Once a crisis spreads across the entire region, there will be no escape."

"Find a time to deploy the remaining teleportation arrays to the Spiritless Gobi of Master Tushan Demon Country, ensuring I can escape instantly no matter what."

Jiang Ding sat cross-legged and entered cultivation.

Chu Country, Blood Stone Mountain.

Many more battle scars appeared on the mountain peak; the rocks melted and collapsed under the high temperature, and the last trace of greenery disappeared.

Finally, it calmed down.

"Senior Brother Li, do you wish to fight me again?"

Princess Princess Chiyan, the Fox King, her twin peaks trembling slightly, panting, looked with a smile at the two Jin Dan cultivators of Xiang Qiyu Sect: "I still have strength remaining."

"Demoness!"

Zhou Zhou Sanyan's Huo Yan Shan Fa treasure, the Flame Mountain, roared with rising flames; he was furious but did not strike again.

He exchanged a glance with the old cultivator Bai Mei, both seeing helplessness in the other's eyes.

The two brothers working together could defeat her.

But they could not kill her!

Moreover, even if they killed her, what then?

The three Jin Dan cultivators of Xuetudian were still alive. Although the Ancestral Blood Butcher, Mu Mu Tianxue, had been severely injured in a siege earlier and her foundation suffered some loss, she could recover after ten years of cultivation.

At that time, what would be done?

"Your Majesty."

The old cultivator Bai Mei calmed down, no longer pretending or evading, and said: "First destroy Xuetudian, then let us two families discuss matters, how about that?"

He was no longer intending to pursue the death of a sect's Jin Dan cultivator.

If the strength is insufficient, what can be done?

This helplessness had appeared many times during his previous hundreds of years of life; cultivators cannot do whatever they please and have long learned to compromise in various situations.

"Very good."

Princess Princess Chiyan, the Fox King, revealed a charming smile.

Kong Que Da Wang breaking through to the Jin Dan Zhong Qi realm was indeed something she did not wish to see, but it did not cause the power balance between the Fox Clan and the Five-Colored Peacock Clan to reverse; they still remained within a tolerable range.

Overall, the Demon Country's strength had increased, which, at a time when various crises were revealing themselves, could be considered a good thing.

The tense, sword-drawn atmosphere between the three Jin Dan cultivators and the great demons vanished. They boarded the Xiang Qiyu Sect's sky ship, fully loaded with many sect Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators, along with demon generals and minor demons, and flew toward Xuetudian's final mountain gate.

Shortly after,

The war cries of tens of thousands of cultivators and demons filled the sky, magical lights covering the horizon emerged, colliding with the cold, bloody, ghostly fog of Xuetudian's sect-protecting great array.

A thunderous boom echoed; the magical lights annihilated each other, and occasionally a zombie or fierce ghost wailed as it turned to ash and vanished.

Clang!

Sword intent and divine sense formed a sword, slicing through a wisp of gray mist from within a jade bottle.

Rows of blue-gold branches hung down, stretched taut, wrapping around this wisp of fog containing a magnetic crystal core, slowly contracting to send it into the azure great sun beneath the tree shade.

High temperature, sharpness.

The gray mist dissolved and was absorbed by the blue-gold great tree; the primordial magnetism light between the branches and leaves received a slight enhancement, swaying with the direction of the magnetic field.

"Currently, over four thousand wisps of magnetic crystal core have been integrated."

"There should still be over ten years before six thousand wisps are integrated, reaching the Great Accomplishment Realm. At that time, the speed and power of the flying sword will increase significantly."

Jiang Ding closed his eyes to sense for a moment, then opened them.

Divine sense connected to the library, searching for superposition spells, second-tier supreme.

"...'Paper Man, Horn, Suona Superposition Technique'... using ancient rituals for sacrifice and persuasion, guiding the dead souls into reincarnation, dispersing their aura... for residual souls, first destroy them with Buddha light, then superpose their remaining aura..."

"...'Reincarnation Rebirth Technique'..."

"...'Soul-Destroying Spirit-Destroying Technique', the principle is based on divine sense and Yang-attribute magic power to annihilate all souls and magical auras within a certain range..."

"This one."

Among several second-tier supreme superposition spells, Jiang Ding immediately chose the 'Soul-Destroying Spirit-Destroying Technique'.

What persuasion, what reincarnation, what soul-calming, all a mess; just completely erase the traces, simple and direct.

He called up the spell inheritance, divine sense surged into it, reading every word and sentence, occasionally comparing with previous generations' explanatory recordings to deepen understanding. When encountering points he didn't understand, he skipped them, noted them down, and would ask Master Master Dinghai during the next language class.

One month later.

Jiang Ding's lips moved, chanting softly. After fully twenty-some breaths, a cold, dark light bloomed between his fingers, spreading across several thousand meters in all directions, washing away all souls and various chaotic auras within the range.

"Done."

"The spellcasting was a bit slow, but it wasn't a combat spell, so it's acceptable. I can get to work now."

Jiang Ding's face lit up with joy.

His figure flashed and vanished.

Beneath the deep pool.

With a casual gesture, he sent several streaks of moon-white sword qi to reinforce the seal on the Demon King Kong Que. After communicating with Jia-25 to confirm everything was normal on that end, Jiang Ding disappeared from the center of the teleportation array.

As for the location of the main nest, he would never exit through this outlet from now on.

At the Lan Mountain Spirit Mine, the teleportation array flashed. Jiang Ding took a jade slip containing intelligence from a young man in green robes who looked exactly like him, read it, concealed his presence, and flew toward the sky.

"Go to the Tushan Demon Kingdom. At the Spiritless Gobi, find a hidden spot and set up the teleportation array."

"The distance is farther than expected, but it doesn't matter. Thanks to Demon King Kong Que's contribution, I have money now. I bought over a dozen more teleportation arrays, making it even safer."

Mountains and rivers swept beneath his feet as Jiang Ding thought silently.

"Try to gather information on the Liu Dao Sect without alerting the Demon Kingdom. Do the same for the Dari Sect. The Demon Kingdom has established a neutral commercial city on the edge of the Spiritless Gobi where human cultivators and demons can interact normally, generating substantial profits."

"It's relatively safe. Many major merchant guilds from the Northern Yuan Cultivation World have set up branches there to purchase local specialties. The Demon Kingdom dares not easily offend them."

For over three consecutive months, he was constantly traveling.

Crossing tens of thousands of li of territory through the Yue Kingdom and Chu Kingdom, the land was desolate, the people displaced. Occasionally, demonic path rogue cultivators caused trouble, and the chaos of the Cultivation World had spread into the mortal realm.

Regarding these matters, he did not reveal himself. With a casual gesture, he sent a streak of invisible sword qi, which merged into the bodies of these Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation demonic path rogue cultivators to lie in wait.

These sword qi would erupt randomly two or three years later in various ways: bleeding from the seven orifices, internal organs pulverized, or the divine soul shattered.

Then, every three thousand kilometers, he would search for a hidden underground location to set up a teleportation array. Occasionally, within a three-thousand-kilometer range, he would add a second array to prevent delays in his escape plans should one teleportation array be damaged or meet with an accident.

Three months later,

At the edge of the forest and the Gobi, a streak of invisible light appeared, flying toward a city on the horizon. The city was rugged in style, built from massive stones and logs.
