A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 1003 Beiyuan Centennial Development
On the Six Paths throne, a young man in blue who had stood like a statue for countless years opened his eyes.

"a hundred years……"

Jiang Ding sighed.

A flash of vicissitudes flashed across his eyes, and after a moment, they returned to the clarity and curiosity unique to young people.

This hundred years was the isolation period he set for himself after coming into contact with the term Falling Immortal Realm. He would not have returned to Beiyuan if he had not sensed the crisis of Tushan Courtyard's destruction.

Jiang Ding's spiritual sense swept around and began to receive various information from Tushan Courtyard.

More than eighty years ago, with the successful refining of the quasi-soul treasure 'Wanli Beacon Tower' of the Weapon Sect, Tushan Zhongting finally evolved to the level of paperless office, the efficiency of information transmission was greatly improved, the level of refining in Tushan Zhongting also improved accordingly, and the inheritance of refining made a great step forward.

Nowadays, compared to a hundred years ago, every cultivator, from the Qi-cultivating cultivator to the Nascent Soul cultivator, is much better off, with each cultivator having several magical instruments and treasures, various talismans, and the gap in strength between them and the demon cultivators of the same level has widened again.

The number of Yuanying cultivators in Beiyuan has increased by thirty-one over the past hundred years. They are the peak-level Jindan cultivators who got the opportunity in the last war, and the direct disciples and blood relatives of the Yuanying cultivators, each accounting for half.

Eleven of them are cultivators of the Great Sun Sword Sect who have broken through to the peak of the Golden Core stage.

The number of Great Sun Sword Sect cultivators is probably less than one percent in Beiyuan, but they have one-third of the chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage in the entire Beiyuan, which is truly terrifying.

This should be related to the bloody battle when Dayi Changjiandu broke through the northern capital of the Western Desert Demon Dynasty last time.

Sword cultivators are brave and diligent. As more people die, the probability of a genius appearing and the probability of a qualitative change in their soul and sword intent will increase accordingly.

It's just so scary.

Of course, this requires the sword cultivator to have a strong enterprising spirit and a fighting spirit, rather than being forced to go up and die.

This kind of forced sword cultivation will not have any breakthrough even if it dies completely.

In addition, the existence of the Great Sun Sword cannot be underestimated in promoting the growth of sword practitioners and is also an important reason.

Taking all these factors into account, many cultivators in Beiyuan originally avoided the Great Sun Long Sword and the Great Sun Sword Sect. Even though they had won a great victory, the death rate in that one battle was close to 50%, which was simply a terrifying thing. Therefore, no one dared to let their outstanding sons and nephews join the Great Sun Sword Sect.

Now, many cultivators are flocking here, eager to become sword cultivators of the Great Sun Sword Sect. It is the first choice for countless geniuses in Beiyuan, on par with the Tushan Maids.

Today, any outstanding young people in Beiyuan who are a little arrogant will often try to join these two major military branches first, and then consider other options.

Beiyuan now has 126 Yuanying Zhenjun and countless Jindan foundation building, which can be said to be a strong army.

Among them, nine maids including Xunfeng broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Bingxue Zhenjun Mu Tianxue, Daai Zhenjun, Yindao Zhenjun, Lieyang Zhenjun and other geniuses in the Nascent Soul also broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and their strength increased a lot.

As for Qingyun Zhenjun Han Lin, he is still in the early Nascent Soul stage.

Anyway, that's what others saw and what he reported himself was all like. He looked like a wandering cultivator whose future was over. He didn't seek any kind of important position. He just made pills and practiced every day, being kind to others and not competing with the world.

True Lord Tianyang is still at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and cannot break through. He exchanged his military achievements for a lower-grade secret technique of transforming the spirit and transcending the tribulation. He has been studying it carefully over the years and seldom goes out.

A hundred years passed, and all the monks who had made military achievements in those years had successfully exchanged their military achievements. No one was owed money, and no monk's pension was owed. With Jiang Ding keeping an eye on it every day, Tushan Courtyard implemented the distribution and exchange of military achievements at the fastest speed.

He proved his promise and did not break the promise he had made in person, benefiting millions of monks.

This terrifyingly efficient administrative efficiency greatly shocked the Beiyuan monks. They had never experienced such an organization where meritorious service would be rewarded immediately. There was no deduction, no tribute, and no commission. As long as one made military achievements, extremely generous rewards would be given out immediately without any discount.

As soon as this incident was over, Tushan Zhongting's reputation in Beiyuan immediately reached its peak and gained the trust of almost all the monks. After a hundred years of restoration, the monks who were originally more inclined to peaceful cultivation began to change.

Many True Lords and Golden Core True Men began to desire war, hoping to gain opportunities in the war and break through their own realms. Their desire to fight gradually became stronger.

Jiang Ding looked at a pile of jade slips sent by Yuanying Zhenjun requesting to fight.

It would be fine if people like Master Lieyang from the Great Sun Sword Sect were Nascent Soul Sword cultivators.

This is the norm. It was like this more than a hundred years ago. They patrolled the border between Beiyuan and Ximo every day, looking for demon kings to fight with, all year round. From time to time, Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators were besieged and killed, or beheaded by demon kings of higher realms, and then new Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators were born in the Sword Sect.

Reciprocating cycle.

Seeking death is their normal state.

It can be said that if one does not have a suicidal heart, it is impossible for an average sword cultivator to comprehend the sword intent and advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Many Jindan sword cultivators in the Great Sun Sword Sect may be able to improve their strength faster than the sword cultivators of the same level in the Immortal Sect. Apart from being easy to die, they have no other disadvantages.

These Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators are so normal.

But in recent years, many Taoist masters, such as Tianyang Zhenjun, Bingxue Zhenjun, Yindao Zhenjun and others, have also begun to desire war, which is not very common.

"Everyone hopes to gain more from the war so that they can get closer to becoming a god..."

Jiang Ding thought about it for a moment and understood what they were thinking.

but,

He decided to refuse and gave the order to continue waiting.

If Bingyuan Tianjun and others did not take the initiative to attack, Jiang Ding would not take the initiative to attack either.

Time is on the side of humanity. It’s only a mere hundred years, there’s no need to lose patience.

Jiang Ding once asked someone to draw a picture, counting the promotion time of the human race in the Northern Plains and the demon race in the Western Desert, and found that if only the combat effectiveness of the Nascent Soul stage was considered, the best time for a decisive battle would be five hundred years later.

Five hundred years later, the gap between the Northern Plains human race and the Western Desert demon race will be at its largest.

If it is too early, the strength and number of human Nascent Souls will not grow to the optimal level. If it is too late, the strength of the demon cultivators will enter the golden period of development and will gradually narrow the gap with humans.

However, due to limited resources, the strength of the human race's Nascent Soul cultivators has reached its peak and will not increase any further over time.

Of course, Jiang Ding would not wait that long, as the strength of the Nascent Soul stage was not enough to determine the outcome of the war.

"Later stage of Nascent Soul."

Jiang Ding whispered, "I will not send troops until I am in the late Nascent Soul stage. Even if the Western Desert Monsters invade again and many Divine Transformation cultivators besiege us, I will not send troops. I will honestly shrink back to the Six Realms Liyang Formation and wait for a breakthrough."

"After breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage, I will kill the Icefield Lord and destroy this world."
