Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery Chapter 1356: 1324: The Population of Mother Star Will Incre

Chapter 1356: Chapter 1324: The Population of Mother Star Will Increase to a Trillion

“Alright, hold on a mont.”

Jiang Ding spent so ti handling various administrative tasks.

All of this appeared quite skillful: every matter was addressed with exceptional efficiency, comparable to the capabilities of a Refining Nothingness Divine Soul. Coupled with the cooperation of the Central Array Spirit Computer and the highly effective bureaucratic system of the Xiann Sect, administrative tasks posed no difficulty.

“Teacher, after the inaugural address, how has public sentint within the sect shifted?”

Jiang Ding asked.

Outside the military context, titles and forms of address tended to be casual, without stringent restrictions.

“It’s alright.”

“Most citizens are supportive; this is the result of the excellent education provided by the Xiann Sect.” Gu Lin Heavenly Monarch chuckled. “Of course, the fact that this policy doesn’t affect the majority’s imdiate interests is also a key reason.”

“That’s good to hear.”

Jiang Ding slightly nodded. “In another decade, following approval from the citizens’ assembly, the sect will implent policies to incentivize childbirth. At that point, the population of the Xiann Sect will grow rapidly. It is estimated that in a thousand years, the population will stabilize at around ten trillion.”

“The education departnt will have a heavy responsibility moving forward, and you must pay particular attention.”

“Citizens’ education is a matter of life and death for the Xiann Sect. It concerns everyone’s Dao path and collective destiny, so no level of attention would be excessive.”

“Understood!”

Gu Lin Heavenly Monarch’s breath slightly hitched.

Ten trillion people!

That represented a population increase of thirty-fourfold for the Xiann Sect!

On the surface, this seed astronomical, but placed within a millennium-long tiline, it appeared relatively gradual, with an average doubling of the population occurring in less than a century.

The sect’s top-level cultivators had already reached a consensus.

The foundation of the Xiann Sect—its citizenry—needed to grow to ten trillion. Otherwise, not only would aspirational goals like venturing into the Ancient Divine Domain fail, even maintaining control over their existing territory would prove inadequate.

Ten trillion was, at minimum, sufficient.

“This may have an impact on your Great Sun God Transformation Strategy.”

Gu Lin Heavenly Monarch voiced so concern. “With a sufficient citizen population, we may no longer need external elites for supplentation, which could increase resistance to the policy.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Elite outsiders were never intended to replace the primary focus; citizens are the true foundation, and the inclusion of external elites must remain extrely limited.”

Jiang Ding showed little concern and said, “Their wisdom and inherited knowledge are what we desire, but regardless, we must solidify our foundation first.”

“That’s the foremost issue.”

“I was narrow-minded after all…”

Gu Lin Heavenly Monarch laughed awkwardly.

After finishing the report, Gu Lin Heavenly Monarch left with a large stack of docunts, and the area returned to tranquility.

In truth, as a leader of a Harmonization-level sect, Jiang Ding only needed to handle administrative tasks once every hundred years in the absence of ergencies. Normally, he dispatched avatars to oversee departntal execution, making his workload quite leisurely.

Behind him, a Sun God Wood sprouted from the ground, radiating dazzling brilliance.

The Sun Abyss, Moon Creek River, River of Sun Fla, and other terrains began to overlap with the secret realm of the Immortal Gate Deputy Governor’s office, enveloping the area and transforming into the cultivation environnt Jiang Ding was accustod to.

In the sky, a flying sword of Bluegold shone brightly, successfully slting a piece of top-grade Sixth Order Synthetic Geng tal. Within it, runes of restrictive rules extended continuously, forming a spinning rule-rune light cluster that gradually condensed into a Rule Divine Prohibition.

The Refining Void Space Treasure—Taiqing Flying Sword—successfully refined its second Rule Divine Prohibition!

“One thousand three hundred seventy-four years.”

“Thirteen hundred years of effort!”

Jiang Ding gently stroked the Taiqing Flying Sword, sensing the changes it had undergone.

Within the flying sword, following the tamorphosis of the Great Sun Destruction Order into the Great Sun Destruction Rule, the Primordial Magnet Order was beginning to evolve into the Primordial Magnet Rule. It was estimated to complete its transformation at the mont the third Rule Divine Prohibition took shape, granting the flying sword a significant increase in power, especially when deploying sword techniques based on elental magnetism.

“The refinent progress is so slow.”

“I’m so wealthy right now!”

Jiang Ding scanned his resources with his Divine Sense, letting out a sigh.

The various Spirit Stones and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were re numbers to him. What truly mattered were the Refining Void battle rits and related high-grade treasures.

Years ago, he possessed fifty-four Refining Void battle rits and seventeen Refining Void-grade treasures.

Now, he had sixty-four Refining Void battle rits and thirty-four Refining Void-grade treasures.

After over a thousand years of refining his flying sword, he not only avoided becoming poorer but had beco even wealthier!

Was this a good thing?

No, it wasn’t. Especially not for a Sword Cultivator.

Poverty is the most valuable trait for a Sword Cultivator.

It signifies that Sword Cultivators possess exceptional resource digestion capabilities—able to absorb any amount efficiently, without waste, like a Gluttonous Beast devouring every shred.

This is what defines a Sword Cultivator with limitless potential!

“Back in the day, Xi Yuan was impoverished, and I can’t let myself fall behind him.”

Jiang Ding mused aloud.

Currently, he could boast of being wealthier than Xi Yuan.

Xi Yuan was rely the master of the Nine Spirits Realm Refining Void Sect, whereas Jiang Ding ranked among the wealthiest few in the Harmonization Sect category, far exceeding Xi Yuan by an entire tier.

anwhile, Jiang Ding’s cultivation was still in the Nascent Soul Stage and had yet to reach Refining Nothingness.

This was precisely why Jiang Ding, already far stronger than Xi Yuan in his Nascent Soul Phase, was nevertheless so wealthy.

“The main issue is the slow refinent efficiency of the flying sword.”

“And this is after leveraging the Great Sun Sacrificial Sword Technique to its fullest—I’ve already pushed this thod to its utmost limits, yet the efficiency has only improved by about five hundred years.”

“Even considering that refinent speed slows as progress is made, I still need twelve thousand years to achieve perfection with the Taiqing Flying Sword.”

Jiang Ding silently calculated.

The growth of his flying sword was critically tied to his potential, combat ability, and cultivation speed—its importance could not be overstated.

“Should I try… the Sun Sacrifice Sword Technique?”

Jiang Ding’s gaze fell upon the scripture.

This technique originated from a Near Immortal-level force in the Upper Realm, far surpassing the Great Sun Sacrificial Sword Technique. That was to be expected; while the Great Sun Sword Masters were undoubtedly exceptional, their cultivation level reached only Refining Nothingness. Even though the Great Sun Swordsmanship was superior, it could not compare.

However, the technique presented two challenges.

First, it required the Taiyin Swordman; without this complent, the Great Sun Sacrificial Sword Technique grew highly dangerous. Though Jiang Ding saw this as a minor issue—weakness due to disrupted Yin-Yang balance was a concern for lesser cultivators—he believed that as long as his Great Sun attribute was strong enough, he could easily resolve imbalances with a single strike. If he couldn’t, he would die; it wasn’t a complicated problem.

Jiang Ding himself wasn’t fearless but saw the imbalance as being beneath his notice.

The key issue was the second challenge.

The Sun Sacrifice Sword Technique was created in the Upper Realm and required nurous unique materials native to the Upper Realm for cultivation. These materials might not be valuable but were distinct to that realm.

Given that the senior Sword Cultivators of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm surely leveraged the materials around them, they wouldn’t have tailored the technique specifically for the Nine Spirits Realm.

Jiang Ding was already seeking substitute materials.

Relying on the Xiann Sect’s robust Immortal Path synthesis industry, he had made partial progress; yet the prospect of complete substitution remained far off. A few especially unique materials showed no hope of artificial synthesis within the next ten thousand years.

“Should I ascend to the Upper Realm for a visit?”

A thought stirred in Jiang Ding’s mind.

“I wouldn’t cause trouble, just buy so of those special materials. They’re probably cheap in the Upper Realm, maybe even common.”

“And if danger arises, I’ll simply make my escape.”
