Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding led a large group of Ancient Emperors across the long starry sky, passing through each Emperor Road, flying towards the Imperial City of the Supreme Great Sun Domain, the Nine Spirits Realm.

At the same time, he drafted a document in his personal capacity: Citizen Jiang Ding, carrying three major versions of the Central Array Spirit Computer of the Xianmen Sect, as well as sixty-eight specially appointed foreign academicians, is about to enter the territory. I hope the relevant departments of Xianmen Sect make preparations for reception, and if there are special circumstances, please communicate as soon as possible.

...

The public announcement from the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor didn’t cause much of a stir, as it was an expected development and could be handled according to the procedure.

The entire Xianmen Sect was immersed in the joy of a large group of ancient citizens about to return, leading the sect back to the pinnacle of the endless starry sky.

Meanwhile, an extremely tricky topic appeared in the Xianmen Citizen Assembly.

"It is undoubtedly suitable for the capital of the Supreme Great Sun Domain to be in the Nine Spirits Realm, as this is the most suitable place for the growth of the End of Dharma Path, and the future solid Foundation of Immortality cannot be elsewhere."

"The only question is, should the capital be on Xianmen’s Mother Planet?"

"Or should it be at the Great Sun Sword Pavilion ruins on Yang Min Mountain?"

"Or elsewhere?"

The Immortal Gate Governor gravely posed this question.

The entire assembly fell silent.

Obviously, despite being in chaotic times, the Xianmen Sect had not declined, and the representatives of the sect’s citizens present had extremely high political integrity, completely understanding the profound implications of choosing the capital of the Supreme Great Sun Domain, which was not as simple as the location of the capital city.

It can be said that this decision will profoundly impact the next hundreds of millions, or even billions of years, potentially influencing the likelihood of attaining immortality.

Choosing the capital at the Great Sun Sword Pavilion ruins on Yang Min Mountain implies a political inclination towards traditional Immortal Sects, inheriting the tradition of the Great Sun Ancestor Master, which has many benefits for uniting the hearts and minds of sword cultivators and magic cultivators of the endless starry sky, at least in terms of political influence.

Choosing a capital outside of the Mother Planet and the Yang Min Mountain ruins politically balances between the Xianmen Sect and the many traditions of the Immortal Sects.

This was an old tradition from the First Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty period, where the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor politically favored the Xianmen Sect. Capable citizens were given important responsibilities, while the elite of the endless starry sky were promoted and cultivated on a large scale, with interests divided based on actual warfare, scientific research, and political performance.

The final choice, to establish the capital in the Xianmen Sect, would mean...

That the sect and many doctrines of the endless starry sky would see substantial integration politically, with the entire Xianmen Sect organization acting similar to a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor Sect or Royal Family of a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, being more efficient and orderly, with interests not divided due to bloodline proximity, making it naturally the best politically.

Many citizen representatives fell into deep thought.

"Let me ask, does the Great Sun Senior have any inclinations?"

A citizen representative voiced the question on everyone’s minds.

No one could overlook the will of an invincible Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, especially one who had just returned victorious from a solo battle against the ancient emperors of various forbidden areas across the starry sky, forcibly tearing a third of the endless starry sky territories to establish their own domain. That terrifying might existed naturally, even in silence.

"No inclination."

"Great Sun Participating has granted us full authority to arrange reception matters, respecting any constitutional decisions made by citizens."

The Immortal Gate Governor quickly replied.

"This..."

"As expected of the old senior!"

"Such unwavering political stance, truly admirable."

Many citizens commended upon hearing this, with a sense of respect rising in their hearts.

To be fair, the overall power of the Xianmen Sect now was not even comparable to that of an Imperial City. In terms of strength, it was entirely unqualified to compare with the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor. The Great Sun’s ability to firmly stand by the citizen stance and respect citizen law was truly commendable.

"First, exclude the choice of setting the capital at Yang Min Mountain ruins entirely!"

"Do any of you disagree with this point?"

The first citizen representative to speak looked around and asked.

"No."

"There is no possibility of the capital being at Yang Min Mountain!"

In an instant, nearly all citizens spoke.

This was a matter of principle.

Numerous citizens began deliberating, connecting to the Central Array Spirit Computer, thoroughly considering various opinions, before finally quieting down.

"Let’s vote."

The Immortal Gate Governor said.

One by one, the votes started being counted, eventually reaching a result.

"Supreme Great Sun Domain, capital on Xianmen’s Mother Planet, to fully gather the most advanced Immortal Technology talents and Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure from the endless starry sky, but with a mandate to create a two-realm separation, prohibiting outside cultivators from affecting any activities, production, or learning of citizens."

...

"Capital on Mother Planet, huh?"

Jiang Ding paused, then appeared unchanged.

At this moment, he and the emperors had already descended upon the Nine Spirits Realm, taking a single step across the vast star domain, and finally arriving outside the Mother Planet, where Governor Cheng and numerous Xianmen Sect citizens were already waiting.

Cheng was a round, plump man, seemingly lacking much of a strong demeanor.

"Cheng, I’m glad to see you for the first time."

Under the astonished gazes of many Ancient Emperors, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor was the first to greet an Emperor Realm Cultivator with a slight bow.

"Great Sun Senior,"

"I’m glad to see you."

Governor Cheng graciously received the salutation, then clasped the hands of Jiang Ding, full of excitement.

Citizens from ancient times, living relics of history, have finally arrived before him, once again returning to the side of Xianmen Sect citizens.

"Great Sun Senior,"

"What about Senior Yuan, Elder Lu, and Elder Cheng..."

Governor Cheng eagerly brought up legendary forebears from Xianmen Sect’s history, these citizens who laid the foundation of the early sect. It was thanks to them that the sect exists as it does today.

Additionally, Governor Cheng felt somewhat uneasy about the current pattern of the endless starry sky.

This is an era where many Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors emerge, a terrifying time of chaos and conflict among numerous ancient emperors, with all aspects already far surpassing the vision and capabilities of him and many citizens, bringing about frequent apprehensions and confusion. It is a time when the input of more capable citizens in political decision-making is urgently needed.

These historical citizen seniors will significantly bolster the strength and vision of Xianmen Sect.

"Let’s wait a bit."

"Meet these fellow Daoists first, they are very important guests."

Jiang Ding smiled, offering no direct answer, and instead began introducing the many Sword Emperors present, including the Weak Water Ancient Emperor and over thirty Human Race Ancient Emperors.

These Ancient Emperors, as stated, were just guests and not subordinates, bearing no military or political obligations.

"Cheng,"

"Greet the seniors."

Governor Cheng bowed deeply in salute.

This did not violate the sect’s etiquette.

Within the sect, the governor held the highest political position. Even when the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor met the governor, the governor would first perform a salutation, as evidenced by this very situation.

But there is one exception.

And that is with the sect’s academicians, or foreign academicians.

Due to the sect’s principle of intense respect for knowledge, when the governor meets with academicians or foreign academicians, it is customary to first bow to express respect.

"Greetings to fellow Daoist Cheng."

The Ancient Emperors did not excessively underestimate the seemingly insignificant Emperor Realm Cultivator, nodding slightly in return.
