Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

In the empty starry sky of the domain, nothing was left.

The star in the endless light radiated brilliance, inch by inch sweeping over every place, every location, repeatedly scanning deep within the space, repeatedly checking.

"No."

"They escaped."

Ripples came from within the star, resembling a sound, yet like billions of sounds, overlapping and repeatedly echoing, eerie yet ethereal.

This was the collective will of the Immortal Sect Fleet pondering.

"No matter, as expected."

In the meeting thoughts of the fleet's collective will, Yuan laughed and said, "This is the first time our strength surpasses the Eight Great Immortal Sects in both quantity and quality, rather than intimidating them by fearlessness of sacrifice, making them hesitate to fight to the end due to fear of certain individuals perishing."

"Today!"

"Relying solely on power, we can defeat them!"

"Finally, we no longer need to sacrifice countless citizens to have the right to exist between domains. Even if they fight to the death, we can still defeat them, albeit at different costs."

"The only pity is,"

Wanji True Venerable chimed in, with a mechanical tone similar to the Central Array Spirit Computer, but with much richer emotion, sighing: "Our strength surpasses theirs for the first time, but not by much, not to the point of overwhelming them."

"If they are intent on fleeing and never engage in decisive battles, there's really not much we can do with them."

"However, time is on our side..."

Wanji True Venerable's voice was cold and confident, filled with joy.

The citizens are growing!

Next, the citizens of the Immortal Sect will undoubtedly enter a rapid growth period, with a large number of Nascent Soul Cultivators, and even Void Refining Practitioners appearing quickly, increasing in number.

This is inevitable!

Just look around, how many Void Refining Seeds does the Immortal Sect have?

Heavenly Magnet Monarch, Hua Teng Heavenly Monarch, Huo Baosan Sky Lords, Slaughter Spirit Heavenly Monarch, Dinghai Heavenly Monarch, Heavenly Monarch Zhang Junsheng, Si Yan Heavenly Monarch, Ling Feng Heavenly Monarch... all these can be termed as Void Refining Seeds.

These are merely from Jiang Ding's era of Void Refining Seeds.

In the era following him, even more elites continuously emerge, combined with the finest talents from various domains excelling in moral character, creativity, and battle merits, it's safe to say that the Immortal Sect lacks no backup talent, and the abundance of talents is even causing an excess due to domestic education and ascension immigrants.

It's hard to say if a single cultivator can advance, as opportunities, luck, and intelligence differ, making it uncertain.

However, it is certain that within the group of the Immortal Sect, a large number of Void Refining Practitioners will emerge as long as the Immortal Sect can provide a chance for Void Refining.

And now, in an era where the Immortal Sect is about to greatly expand, opportunities for Void Refining are bound to explode.

"I have consulted Jin Liu Venerable from the Mother Star."

"Next, Immortal Sect Void Refining Practitioners will experience a burst in numbers."

The Divine Machine True Venerable, who had traveled from the boundary domain passage to the meeting, solemnly said: "In at most five thousand years, the Immortal Sect will have more than five hundred Void Refining individuals appearing, and the number of Nascent Soul Cultivators could reach 800,000. By then, the strength of the Central Group Fleet will surge to more than double its current level, perhaps being able to attempt the complete annihilation of the Eight Great Immortal Sects."

Five hundred Void Refining Practitioners?!

This number shook the hearts of many old cultivators who experienced the era of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, with immense reflection.

Back then, the Immortal Sect didn't even have Void Refining Practitioners, and now it is about to possess hundreds of them. Reflecting on the past feels almost like a dream.

"How come it only became twice as strong?"

Canghai True Venerable was stunned.

His question was also the question of many Nascent Soul Cultivators and Void Refining Practitioners.

The number of Void Refining Practitioners and Nascent Soul Cultivators has soared several times or even dozens of times, yet the overall strength of the Immortal Sect Fleet has only grown to such an extent, which seems inconsistent with the logic of data growth.

"There are several reasons."

Divine Machine True Venerable patiently explained: "First, the current fleet of two billion has reached the limit of Yuan's command ability. Even if there are more strong individuals in the Immortal Sect and more troops, he cannot command more cultivators unless Yuan can advance to the Unity Realm Stage, otherwise, the number of the Central Group Fleet will at most be thirty billion."

"The power of the Central Group Fleet cannot linearly grow with the increase in the number of Void Refining and Nascent Soul Cultivators, there is a marginal effect."

Yuan is the strongest war commander of the Immortal Sect.

The Great Sun Sword Master pales in comparison to him in this regard. Despite mastering individual power at least dozens of times stronger than Yuan, the Great Sun Sword Master still comes up short in terms of warship command.

This is why other fleets of the Immortal Sect haven't participated in the core battlefield.

Unable to be integrated into the Central Group grand formation, they are at most intermediate and early-stage Unity Realm force and cannot affect the frontal battlefield, instead increasing casualties in vain.

The role of these second-line units is to rely on formations to hold fast at various traffic nodes, rather than waging field battles.

"Second, the ability of the Immortal Sect's Central Array Spirit Computer has reached its limit."

Divine Machine True Venerable continued.

"Third, the exploration of the Heavenly Human Realm by the Immortal Sect has also reached a current capability limit, unable to unleash more power."

"Roughly, that's it."

The way of army formations has never been just about numbers.

In terms of numbers, the Immortal Sect is far inferior to the Ancient God Alliance with multiple domains. The way of army formations is actually an extremely technical field that explores the limits of Immortal Technology, not the crude appearance that many cultivation practitioners associate with Taoist Soldiers.

"When will Senior Yuan be able to ascend to the Unity Realm?"

Jiang Ding suddenly asked.

The gazes of many strong figures of the Immortal Sect turned to Yuan, filled with expectation, admiration, and longing.

This is the Pathfinder of the Immortal Sect.

If he steps into the Unity Realm, there is hope for them to enter the Unity Realm in the future, with a promising path ahead, although in the end, very few will be able to become Harmonization cultivators, with potentially only less than ten among the twenty billion Central Group Fleet possessing this possibility.

However, even a glimmer of hope is good.

"Currently, it is impossible."

Yuan slightly shook his head, smiling wryly: "You all know, the Immortal Sect's Unity Path of the Nine Fairy Scriptures is still thousands of years away from being developed. Who can ascend now?"

"However, if we're talking about the peak of Void Refinement, I need about twelve thousand years."

"Hahaha, that's quite fast then."

"Yuan, I look forward to the day when we can call you Divine Monarch. By then, the Ancient Divine Domain might become a complete utopia for the Immortal Sect.

Wanji True Venerable laughed heartily.

The Central Group Fleet of the Immortal Sect was engulfed in a sea of laughter.

Amid such chat, part of the fleet split from the Central Group and launched devastating landing operations in several Minor Thousand Worlds around, beginning to sweep away all the remaining forces of the Ancient God Alliance in the Minor Thousand Worlds, restoring the Immortal Sect's governance in these Minor Thousand Worlds.

Unlike the last time, this time the governance of the Immortal Sect will certainly take deep root in this land, bringing a more peaceful and happy life to all living beings, unchanged for at least tens of thousands of years.
