Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1039: Chapter 566: Ten Thousand Swords

In the distance, several Loose Cultivator Nascent Souls stopped flying. They rushed here after sensing the thunderclouds, thinking it was some opportunity.

However, when they sensed that sky-piercing Sword Intent, the Sword Intent that cleaved the thunderclouds, all their little schemes vanished in their minds.

No cultivator wishes to battle a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, for they possess the strongest attack power among all Nascent Soul cultivators.

Li Shiming, of course, noticed these Nascent Soul cultivators. As long as they didn’t approach, he didn’t bother to pay attention to them.

The ’Traceless Illusion Sword’ transformed into a beam of light and entered his body. In the hands of Gold Thunder Nascent Soul, he held the ’Traceless Illusion Sword’.

From now on, this ’Traceless Illusion Sword’ will be kept nurtured by the Gold Thunder Nascent Soul, and its power will continuously increase over time.

This is the benefit of having a Lifebound artifact, which can be absorbed into the body as energy.

”It’s about time!” Li Shiming activated the ’Chameleon Cloak’, once again entering invisibility as he used ’Divine Foot Skill’ heading in the direction of the secret cave dwelling.

Once more arriving at the cave dwelling deep within the pool, he stood beside his clone Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba remained in the Corpse Refining state, with the aura of corpse refining reaching the peak of his current realm.

Li Yuanba ceased cultivation. In over two years, he had cultivated the ’Evil Corpse Spirit Record’ to the pinnacle of Silver Corpse.

This cultivation speed benefited greatly from this environment, as the Yin Cold Energy here is the preferred setting for corpse refining, especially laid out by the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sun Concealing Sect to nurture Golden Corpses.

Li Yuanba trained here in Silver Corpse state, advancing rapidly, as if traveling a thousand miles in a single day.

If there was such a thing as a Great Elder realm for Silver Corpses, then his current state would be that of a Great Elder among them.

With a subtle thought, his tall body quickly shrunk, and the fangs in his mouth and the sharp claws on his hands disappeared, returning his body to human form.

As he reverted to human form, his unique Taiji Dao Body began to exhibit peculiar effects.

Even though he returned to human state, the Silver Corpse Pill entered some unknown concealed space. However, under the automatic balancing of Yin and Yang energies by his Taiji Dao Body, spiritual power continually poured into his body from an unknown void.

Without needing to cultivate, this energy entered as if originally his own, quickly absorbed by the Golden Core upon appearance.

The spiritual power within the Golden Core increased rapidly in quantity, with its quality elevating too.

In just one two hours, Li Yuanba’s realm rose to the peak of Golden Core Late Stage.

Due to Li Shiming’s insights into the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ which greatly improved while helping the ’Traceless Illusion Sword’ transcend tribulations, Li Yuanba reaped significant benefits.

Li Yuanba shared Li Shiming’s insights into the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’, elevating his understanding to the Nascent Soul Stage.

When the spiritual power in his Golden Core was filled, the comprehensive understanding of the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ allowed him to directly break through from the peak of Golden Core Late Stage to the Great Elder realm.

Throughout the breakthrough process, there was no hint of a bottleneck.

He even felt that, with just one chance encounter, he could ascend to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Alas, such opportunities are not easily found; each cultivator’s transition to Nascent Soul presents different occasions. Therefore, Great Elder realm cultivators utilize all their time persistently trying and searching to find the Nascent Soul ascension opportunity.

The ’Xuanyin Ghost Fire’ within also grew alongside his realm, reaching the utmost of the Golden Core Level.

”Congratulations, fellow cultivator, if five more years pass and you haven’t broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, I will send you back to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!” Li Shiming smiled as he spoke.

”Many thanks, fellow cultivator!” Li Yuanba replied with a smile.

The two faced each other, laughing heartily. Being originally part of the same being, standing together seemed like talking to oneself.

”I’ll leave the Golden Corpse Black Shield to you; you need to venture outside to find breakthrough opportunities!” Li Shiming summoned the Golden Corpse Black Shield for Li Yuanba.

The Golden Corpse Black Shield was his most formidable corpse. Without truly mastering the sword cultivator battle prowess, the Golden Corpse Black Shield had been crucial to him.

But now it’s different; he had become a true sword cultivator, with his evident combat prowess being incredibly formidable.

Importantly, he possessed the powerful battle instrument ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect’, which meant he would seldom be outside within the next five years.

Instead, Li Yuanba would need to seek breakthrough opportunities to Nascent Soul Stage and couldn’t remain under Li Shiming’s protection as before.

Moreover, the Dongqi Continent is unlike the Beishu Continent; here even at the Great Elder realm, a Golden Core Stage cultivator lacks sufficient self-preservation power.

Among the independent cultivators of Dongqi Continent, there are many Nascent Soul cultivators.

Li Shiming doesn’t want his clone Li Yuanba to face danger, and having the Golden Corpse Black Shield beside him ensures safety at least.

Of course, Li Shiming also prepared plenty of Spirit Pills and a Jade Talisman for Li Yuanba.

The Jade Talisman serves as a lifeline for Nascent Soul cultivators, and only because Li Shiming possesses ’Divine Foot Skill’ that surpasses the Jade Talisman’s activated speed, did he give this protective spearhead to Li Yuanba.

Even within major sects, few Nascent Soul cultivators possess Jade Talismans as lifelines, as they receive considerable attention from Great Cultivators.

Finally, he also gave five ’Flowing Light Star Meteors’ and a lot of unused Flying Swords to Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba has his Lifebound Flying Sword Xingyi, as a pure sword cultivator would not use other flying swords.
