Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1109: Chapter 601: Jian Family

”Sword Elder, I wish to meet with you!” After mastering the ’Void-breaking Sword Intent,’ Li Yuanba took out the token given to him by the Sword Elder to contact him.

A moment later, the figure of the Sword Elder appeared beside him.

Li Yuanba had gotten used to the way the Sword Elder appeared; the formations in his abode were mere decorations for the Sword Elder.

”Your Sword Dao talent is quite impressive, no wonder Wuwei took you as his disciple!” The Sword Elder glanced at Li Yuanba, nodding and praising him involuntarily.

That single glance revealed a trace of sword intent aura on Li Yuanba, though extremely weak, but how could the Sword Elder not perceive the aura of ’Void-breaking Sword Intent.’

Li Yuanba’s comprehension of ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’ happened in a timeframe far below the Sword Elder’s estimation.

Typically, members of the Jian Family take a year to comprehend ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’; even the Sword Elder himself took three months, which was already close to the shortest time in the Jian Family lineage.

But Li Yuanba only took one month, and this Sword Dao talent astonished the Sword Elder.

Yet, he wouldn’t say this in front of Li Yuanba; he didn’t want Li Yuanba to become overly proud as a sword cultivator, for the most important thing is cultivating the mind, and excessive pride can affect the sword heart.

”Thanks to your guidance, Sword Elder, I was able to comprehend ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’!” Li Yuanba bowed in gratitude.

”Do you know the origin of ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’?” The Sword Elder waved his hand and helped Li Yuanba stand, asking softly.

Li Yuanba shook his head; he hadn’t heard Jian Wuwei mention ’Void-breaking Sword Intent.’

”To speak of ’Void-breaking Sword Intent,’ one must first talk about the Jian Family. The Jian Family has existed since the creation of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, and has been passed down till now; Wuwei is the bloodline of the Jian Family.

’Void-breaking Sword Intent’ is indeed the core inherited sword intent of the Jian Family. Of course, the Jian Family doesn’t only pass down through bloodlines but also accepts sword cultivators with exceptionally high talents to join, protecting the inheritance of the family bloodline.” The Sword Elder explained to Li Yuanba.

Only then did Li Yuanba realize that Jian Wuwei’s identity was actually a bloodline inheritor sword cultivator of the Jian Family in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Sword Elder is Jian Wuwei’s grandfather, so he is also a bloodline inheritor sword cultivator of the Jian Family.

Considering the Sword Elder’s strength, it’s clear how powerful the Jian Family is, and this is only the bloodline inheritor sword cultivators; there are other sword cultivators in the Jian Family as well.

”What do you mean, Sword Elder?” Li Yuanba had somewhat guessed the Sword Elder’s intention, so he asked.

”I formally invite you to join the Jian Family!” The Sword Elder spoke directly.

Li Yuanba pondered for a moment; he understood that non-bloodline sword cultivators were there to protect the family bloodline.

He didn’t mind that; even if he didn’t join the Jian Family, if Jian Wuwei encountered trouble, he would help him.

He is a disciple of Jian Wuwei, and protecting his mentor is a duty not to be shirked.

”I am willing to join the Jian Family!” Li Yuanba bowed and made his decision known.

”You won’t regret it!” The Sword Elder nodded with satisfaction upon hearing his reply.

In fact, the Sword Elder had previously prepared various assessments for Li Yuanba, but upon seeing his sword Dao talent, such assessments were no longer needed.

If Li Yuanba, who had comprehended the ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’ in a record-breaking manner, couldn’t meet the conditions to join the Jian Family, then no sword cultivator could qualify to join.

Of course, the Sword Elder’s evaluation of Li Yuanba’s sword Dao talent should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Li Yuanba relied on the help of IBMz15 to comprehend the ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’ within a month.

”Ten days from now, I will take you to the Jian Family initiation ceremony!” The Sword Elder said upon leaving.

After respectfully seeing off the Sword Elder, Li Yuanba couldn’t help but look forward to the initiation ceremony in ten days.

Ten days later, Li Yuanba was taken by the Sword Elder to a grand hall. He again felt like he was entering another space, not within the space of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s Sword Peak.

”This is the Sword Cave Heaven; it’s also the residence of the core cultivators of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!” The Sword Elder explained to him.

Li Yuanba wasn’t surprised that core cultivators reside in a separate heaven; his original form Li Shiming’s Ten Thousand Beast Sect was similar.

He perceived the environment here, devoid of the intricate sword intents from the Sword Peak, not even the slightest presence of sword intent.

Yet the energy here has a stronger nurturing effect on sword intents; he could sense that in this environment, the nascent ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’ within him was absorbing some kind of special energy from the void, gradually strengthening.

He hadn’t actively refined the ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’; it was entirely the effect of this environment.

”Greetings, Sword Elder!” A sword cultivator entered through the main door and respectfully saluted the Sword Elder.

Afterward, more sword cultivators arrived, each one greeting the Sword Elder with respect.

Sword cultivators are very punctual; all those arriving came within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Fifteen sword cultivators stood in the hall, astonishing Li Yuanba; among them, only five were early-stage Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators, seven were Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators, and three were Great Cultivators.

Among them, the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator Wu Qi was present, smiling and nodding at Li Yuanba.

”All available members of the Jian Family have gathered here; today, we welcome a new member to the Jian Family. As the Sword Master of the Jian Family, I preside over today’s ceremony!” The Sword Elder looked at the sword cultivators in the hall and slowly opened his mouth to speak.
