Chapter 897: Six Realms Departing Yang Array
After handling Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun's matters, Jiang Ding continued looking at the Jin Dan-level documents piled Rushan-high, issuing instructions one after another.
The corruption of many Jin Dan cultivators was shocking to behold.
Among them, a large concentration was found among cultivators from Master Tushan Xiancheng, late-stage Jin Dan, peak Jin Dan, whose lifespans were nearing the limit — it had almost become a common trait.
Especially Jin Dan cultivators whose lifespans had reached the very end — when they got greedy, they simply threw their lives away.
"Jin Dan cultivators who embezzled enormous amounts — execute them on the spot."
"Jin Dan cultivators with ordinary amounts — dismiss them, sentence them; those who resist, strike them dead on the spot."
"Very simple, really…"
What he hated most was others shoving their work onto him, delaying his cultivation and his sleep.
"The two-year deadline has arrived, Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun is released from prison, bros, I'm going traveling."
Jiang Ding stood up.
"I'm different — I carry the immortal sect's construction inheritance. Under careful management, a several-dozen-fold surge in talent and a ten-plus-fold output of heaven and earth treasures is still no problem."
He finally understood why the vast majority of Soul Transformation cultivators ultimately chose to relinquish all authority, too lazy to bother as long as the big picture didn't change.
Jiang Ding gazed at the sea of clouds on the horizon, the ten-thousand-li Shanhe, a faint blue light glimmering in his eyes.
This is — the Heaven and Earth Spirit Map!
Jiang Ding gave a soft snort.
At the thought from his mind, his storage jade pendant flickered faintly, and nine bronze tripods as large as Shanfeng materialized around him, magnetic light flashing bright.
Perhaps the final result wouldn't even be as great as a single sudden enlightenment that came to him while wandering mountains and waters.
Many Master Dinghai Zhenjun couldn't help but extend a wisp of divine sense to look outward.
"This can't be done every year — it'll affect my cultivation."
"It's Canghai Tianjun setting up an array!"
"If there are old cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan who wish to sacrifice themselves for their clans, let them watch more of this."
The entire world had already been obscured by the primordial magnetic divine light erupting from the Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetic Spirit-Severing Mountain — a vast grey haze, nothing could be seen clearly, nothing could be discerned, divine sense was useless, and countless people were panicked and uneasy.
They woke with a start, Hu Xi Chen Zhong, trembling with fear, afraid that a stray bolt of primordial magnetic divine light would suddenly veer off and smash them into pieces.
Jiang Ding sighed.
He tossed the last Jin Dan-level document jade slip upward, letting it vanish into the teleportation array, and the entire Black Hei Mo Gong became spacious and empty once more, no longer so cramped.
At the same time, Zheng Sect also received the order and began soothing the many cultivators — they didn't need them to do anything, just stay in their cave dwellings and not move about rashly, not go out casually, lest they be harmed by the violent arrays and leave no bones intact.
Countless surges of heaven and earth spiritual energy came rushing like tsunamis, the thousand-li great sun radiance converged here, and the Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetic Spirit-Severing Mountain suddenly erupted with brilliant primordial magnetic divine light — wherever it fell, it severed all Wu Xing Fa in that area.
Because it was truly annoying — once a year, everything would be delayed.
Over a million array component parts drifted between heaven and earth.
Jiang Ding spent more than ten days handling these governmental affairs, and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
By the mid-to-late stage of a Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun's life, they were nearly forgotten by the world, no longer appearing before mortals, becoming legend.
From time to time, jade pillars the size of houses could be seen falling, landing on nodes where spiritual energy converged, smoothing out the violent spiritual energy across ten thousand li.
Even with such diligent governance, the result was nothing more than making the Cultivation World under his rule somewhat more prosperous, with a slightly greater output of heaven and earth treasures.
If authority were relinquished, wouldn't it be enough to just do random spot checks?
Behind the nine Primordial Magnetic Nine-Spirit Array-Basis Tripods, tens of thousands of jade nails as thick as a baby's arm appeared — these were Vein-Stabilizing Nails, refined from fourth-tier Hunyuan Jade, their purpose being to stabilize the ley lines.
This was not the end.
If one wanted any qualitative change to occur, it was still difficult.
"From now on, in important positions, try not to use old cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan. These cultivators with strong self-destructive tendencies should be assigned to suitable posts, or retired."
All manner of oppressive might made one suffocate.
"The cultivators of Zheng Sect had best not be too useless either, otherwise…"
For Jiang Ding, however, there was no need for such effort — the array inheritance from the immortal sect could produce a precise Heaven and Earth Spirit Map in a short time, and with the reference of the Six Paths Wusheng Grand Array, it was not difficult.
Jiang Ding wrote on the document: "All embezzled property must be recovered. If family members or relatives of the embezzling Jin Dan cultivator used the embezzled property, it must be returned; if it cannot be returned, they shall be punished as equally guilty, and those with particularly heinous crimes may likewise be executed."
"Starting next year, once every two years, maintained for ten years; after ten years, spot checks once every ten years, maintained for a hundred years; after a hundred years, spot checks once every fifty years — that should be about right."
But this was the full-speed operation of a Soul Transformation-grade divine soul's computing power for half a month. If it were replaced by a Jin Dan avatar, wanting to not relinquish authority and personally handle everything — perhaps the speed of handling governmental affairs couldn't even keep up with the speed of new governmental affairs being added.
These nine bronze tripods were entirely forged from fifth-tier Primordial Magnetic Copper Mother, mixed with multiple high-grade composite spirit metals — the most cost-effective primordial magnetic material in the immortal sect whose performance met the standard. Their formal name was Primordial Magnetic Nine-Spirit Array-Basis Tripods, the core foundation of the Northern Plains Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting Grand Array.
At this moment, what lay before him was no longer mountains, rivers, earth, or sky, but the flow of heaven and earth spiritual energy, the circulation of ley line qi, and primordial magnetic shuttling through various poles — all manner of scenes forming a dense net-like pattern, distributed throughout the world, pervading every place, every demonic beast, every human being.
Don't think it's simple — it was only half a month's time.
Many Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun and Jin Dan cultivators who had gathered here from all over the Northern Plains suddenly became alert.
Generally, when an array master sets up an array, they must meticulously survey the circulation of various spiritual forces at the array site one by one, calculating for dozens or even dozens of hundreds of years, until they understand its patterns.
"What happened?"
"I'm doing what was originally your job!"
Someone cried out in alarm — a fourth-tier array master who had detected a clue from the changes in heaven and earth.
One saw rune-inscribed jade nails as thick as a baby's arm descending from the sky, falling onto mountains, falling onto the earth, landing precisely on the nodes of the ley lines, melting away like snow and ice, completely dissolving into the mountains without a trace.
After all, this involved all Jin Dan-level and above governmental affairs for a population of several billion!
Jiang Ding sighed.
He walked out of the Black Hei Mo Gong and came to the peak of the Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetic Spirit-Severing Mountain. The biting, sharp primordial magnetic gale blew his hair into wild disarray — any single strand could slice through a Jin Dan Fa treasure, yet not a hair on him was harmed.
After the jade nails, all manner of array instruments — banners, Fa swords, jade pillars, saplings, cloud qi and the like — appeared in dazzling variety, spread throughout the world between heaven and earth, each array component part of different form and different function.
"Still, such frequent diligent governance is too much."
"Time to attend to proper business."
Jiang Ding deliberated.
"Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun!"
This allows for the careful deployment of formations, especially the Youqishi Sect's great formation, which must be handled with extreme caution to ensure it endures for thousands upon thousands of years; negligence is not an option.
"If the procedure is legal, the corrupt Jin Dan cultivator awaiting execution should be escorted before the family, to witness the fate of his kin."
This was actually a loophole. When Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting was first established, this aspect was overlooked, and the disastrous consequences appeared instantly.
The total number reaches over a million. Merely using divine sense to lift these formation components and infusing them with magic power exceeds the capacity of even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone deploying the formation.
Again, a Yuan Ci Treasure Pearl fell into Shanfeng, slightly weakening the disaster of the chaotic Yuan Ci divine light spanning thousands of li...
And so on, all are profound and unfathomable techniques of the Dao of Formations, causing countless Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun to feel waves of emotion, their eyes momentarily dazzled.
