Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery-Chapter 288 - 277: The Great Sun Sword Pavilion is Reviving?_1
```
"Reason?"
Jiang Ding asked curiously.
Of course, he would not take it.
Even less likely would he be forced by a mere middle-stage Golden Pellet bottleneck into taking an elixir; he was merely curious about how the Immortal of Nascent Soul's daughter perceived the path of incense belief.
"Belief in incense is poisonous!"
Jin Lingfeng stated solemnly, "Belief in incense is the amalgamation of countless thoughts and obsessions. No matter how you purify it, you can't change its essence. Taking items condensed from incense can destroy one's Dao foundation, and it's even possible that the poison from the incense will invade the mind, causing insanity and rage."
"The Xianmen Sect has researched this area, but it cannot be called top-notch. Even if testing agencies issue a safety consumption report, it's not entirely reliable."
"For example, for targets of extremely high value, some things have been set up using technology beyond that of the Xianmen Sect's top incense and Cultivation sciences..."
She hinted at something.
"Makes sense."
Jiang Ding flicked his finger, and a strand of sword qi sliced the dark golden blood drop - the object that Immortal Li Hai obsessed over and had refined at great cost, including the sacrifice of his own kin - into crumb powder that scattered with the wind.
Selling it was indeed feasible.
The Xianmen Sect's professional testing agencies had all certified it as compliant. No one could find any fault with it, and an elixir capable of breaking through the middle-stage Golden Pellet bottleneck was extremely precious, able to be exchanged for many rare heavenly materials and treasures.
But it wasn't necessary.
"Magnanimous."
An Siyan showed her admiration.
It was not surprising to her that Jin Lingfeng advised giving up such an item. Even though the elixir that could break through the middle Jindan stage bottleneck was extremely precious and many Golden Pellet Monks would be willing to spend all their wealth and even go into debt for it, having a value of tens of millions of lower-grade spirit stones – it didn't mean much to a daughter of an Immortal of Nascent Soul.
That others would feel the same was truly commendable.
"Additionally, I found something interesting in Immortal Li Hai's Divine Soul, using a Third-order Soul Searching Talisman," An Siyan added. "He had contacted a suspected Golden Pellet Realm citizen of Xianmen and obtained something like a promise to escape the domain."
With a flick of her finger, an image unfurled.
It was a figure shrouded in black mist, piloting an equally concealed Air-Space Battleship, appearing before Immortal Li Hai and personally making a promise, committing him to rebellion.
"A suspected Golden Pellet Realm citizen?"
Jiang Ding smiled.
He thought of the nearly independent Xu and Wang Clan families within the Xianmen Sect, who were in the Divinity Transformation Realm. Their only hope of survival was to collude with foreign Immortal Sects, nurturing threats to strengthen themselves – they had ample motive.
There were plenty of other possibilities: Golden Pill Monks desperate to extend their lifespans, trapped in a bottleneck for years without breakthroughs, violating the law and order and being caught out... all could commit similar acts.
Such incidents were rare in the Xianmen Sect, but they indeed occurred.
"The final clue."
Jin Lingfeng rattled a Spirit Beast Bag she'd acquired from somewhere. With a flash of Spiritual Light, she released a mortal with severed limbs: "He is indeed a citizen of the Immortal Gate. It is prohibited to search his soul without stripping him of his lifetime political rights."
"He needs to be taken to the Canghai Steel Floating Island Base, under the watchful eye of the Formation Spirit Land, and be subjected to military discipline and execution."
"You lowly woman, what are you doing?!"
Gu Shixiong woke up groggily and, upon seeing Jin Lingfeng, burst into curses.
"How dare you stuff me into a Spirit Beast Bag, this is a desecration of the dignity of a Xianmen citizen. I'm going to sue you and have you locked up!"
"I need immediate medical treatment!"
"The Xianmen is being ruined by Cultivators like you. One day, our equality group will cleanse the disparity and return to us a fair Xianmen..."
Apparently, his previous interactions with Jin Lingfeng were not pleasant.
"Does he know he's going to die?"
Jiang Ding shook his head and asked.
Gu Shixiong's body stiffened.
"Not sure; he probably thinks that the equality group has significant influence and can get him out. At least that seems to be his belief," Jin Lingfeng said casually, sealing Gu Shixiong's mouth with a flick of her hand and returning him to the Spirit Beast Bag, not particularly interested in his thoughts and musings.
```
Just as if they were toying with a spirit beast.
There was a sense of an esteemed lady of Xianmen Sect, looking down upon the mortal world.
Jiang Ding and An Siyan exchanged glances.
"The cultivators from the three sects in Li Country have captured two people, foundation-building cultivators."
Jin Lingfeng didn't notice the subtle emotional fluctuations between the two and continued, "Their names are Li Yun and Qian Tongyi. They claim to be acquaintances of yours. Do you suggest a lighter sentence?"
"This is also in accordance with the regulations of Xianmen Sect, the scale of enforcement has a certain degree of flexibility."
"Qian Tongyi is done for, but that Li Yun is relatively clean. Others do all the dirty and tiring work for him, so there's a possibility he might survive."
She looked up, her eyes inquiring, familiar with and adept in using the various explicit and implicit rules of Xianmen Sect.
"No need, just proceed with the normal sentencing."
Jiang Ding shook his head.
He only had a passing acquaintance with the other party and had no close friendship.
Besides, even if there had been a friendship, he would not plead for cultivators who slaughter mortals, even if it complies with the laws of Xianmen Sect.
"That's all, then."
Jin Lingfeng shut down her command system.
"Next, after Tianhai Sect has stabilized a bit, we'll return to the Canghai Steel Floating Island Base and hand over the six Seven-book Nail Arrows to the base's Formation Spirit to deduce the location of that assassin from Xuanwu tiangong."
There were threads of killing intent in her starry eyes.
"Alright."
...
Xiandu, the grand auditorium of Qingfeng University.

A highly important academic conference was taking place here.
The heads of thirty-nine institutions, the dean of Xianmen Science Institute, the leaders of various research institutions, and even representatives from the governance of Xianmen Sect and from each Nascent Soul Cultivator were present, intending to guide the development of Xianmen Sect's scientific community in directions that overlapped with their own paths.
Golden Pill Monks and Immortals of Nascent Soul gathered, mostly comprising the Nascent Soul with most being respected seniors in the academic world.
This conference would determine the allocation of research funds within Xianmen Sect for the next hundred years.
"Proposal number two by Immortal Dinghai."
"For three thousand years, Xianmen Sect has continuously excavated and absorbed the heritage of Great Sun Sword Pavilion, gaining immense wealth.
I assert that the Sword Dao will undoubtedly become one of the critical pillars of Xianmen Sect's combat power in the future and also offers a substantial hope for Xianmen Sect to catch up with the top individual combat strengths of the Immortal Sects."
Immortal Dinghai's words attracted a great deal of attention.
In the Immortal Path, individual top-tier combat strength is everything.
Why is Xianmen Sect still trapped within a corner of the domain, only able to obtain a small part of Great Sun Sword Pavilion's legacy?
It's because of the existence of Masters of Refining Nothingness from the Eight Immortal Sects!
Immortal Dinghai pointed his finger, displaying an image.
A youth in blue clothes, in the Mid-stage Foundation Building realm, spreads the light of Breaking Law and Elimination Method, destroying the artifacts of a Late Golden Core cultivator with the Azure Great Sun.
"Dari Swordsman!"
"Is there a sign of revival within the Great Sun Sword Pavilion?!!"
Many old seniors, who had been in seclusion for a long time, were shocked and cold killing intent filled the air.
This was a classic characteristic of a Dari Swordsman.
Three thousand years ago, every appearance on the battlefield was a nightmare for Xianmen Sect cultivators of the same or even higher rank. Entire Immortal Gate Army Groups perished under the Great Sun Sword, completely incinerated and destroyed.
"It's indeed a Dari Swordsman."
"But he is one of Xianmen Sect's own."
Immortal Dinghai showed a peculiar expression, distributing the information about Xianmen Sect from the past thirty years to the reclusive cultivators.
