Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1382: Chapter 737: Intimidation (Part 2)

”Alright, but we still need to contact other sects, otherwise our losses would be too great, and they would take advantage of it!” Che Lian did not refuse after hearing this, but rather offered his opinion.

Then they contacted the core cultivators of other superpowers separately and began plotting secretly.

Li Yuanba’s reputation, coupled with the combat power displayed by the mid-stage Golden Corpse just now, caused these core cultivators to feel a sense of crisis.

With the proposals from the Infinite Sect and Beidou Sect, it didn’t take much effort for the superpowers present to agree.

The only issue now was when to strike, whether to choose attacking after entering the Grotto Heaven or do it now.

The unified opinion was that if they were to strike outside the Grotto Heaven, the Sword Cultivators might escape swiftly. If they waited until the Grotto Heaven opened and they entered, the Sword Cultivators would still have the opportunity to enter the Grotto Heaven.

Moreover, for such a large-scale mission, it would be impossible without the Great Cultivators of the superpowers providing protection from afar.

Outside, it would be impossible to cause any significant loss to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, and it would easily offend the Sword Cultivators, causing no small trouble in the future.

”Something is not right, Yuanba, be careful once you are inside!” Wu Qi observed the subtle interactions among these core cultivators and, based on his experience, sensed something amiss, transmitting a reminder to Li Yuanba.

”Brother Wu, I will be careful!” Li Yuanba nodded in response.

”Don’t focus mainly on Corpse Refining; Sword Dao is what you should enhance!” Wu Qi couldn’t help but advise.

He was worried Li Yuanba was heading in the wrong direction. Although Li Yuanba’s mid-stage Golden Corpse had terrifying combat power, it was still an external object. No matter how powerful the Golden Corpse became, it would not help his cultivation.

Instead, it would scatter his focus, making it impossible to concentrate fully on the Sword Cultivator path, wasting Li Yuanba’s talent in Sword Cultivating.

”Thank you for your concern, Brother Wu!” Li Yuanba knew Wu Qi meant well; otherwise, he wouldn’t have spoken up. He smiled and thanked him.

”The situation inside the Grotto Heaven cannot be predicted; Langcai Great Power’s Grotto Heaven is not recorded in any books. Not only the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion but also according to the investigations of the intelligence department, no other superpowers have records of Langcai Great Power’s Grotto Heaven. Be careful upon entering; such unknown Grotto Heavens often have many restrictions and are extremely dangerous.” Wu Qi shifted the topic to the Grotto Heaven.

Li Yuanba also knew that the discovery of Langcai Great Power’s Grotto Heaven this time wasn’t due to any clues left behind by Langcai Great Power.

If Langcai Great Power had indeed left clues, it would imply a legacy was meant to be left behind, making the Grotto Heaven more of a test of inheritance, thus relatively safer.

However, as things stand, without any clues left by Langcai Great Power, it means that for unknown reasons, the Grotto Heaven would automatically open a space gate, leaking its spatial aura, which cultivators detected.

Langcai Great Power’s personal Grotto Heaven, with no intention of opening to outsiders, would surely have set some powerful guardians within it.

Despite the passage of time, even if Langcai Great Power had perished, the environment inside the Grotto Heaven could sustain the guardians for thousands of years without issues.

Regarding restrictions within the Grotto Heaven, Li Shiming’s true self encountered restrictions while exploring Great Power Zhai Ge’s Heavenly Person Cave Heaven.

At that time, the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven restricted cultivators from flying, and even Space Movement Divine Skills couldn’t be used.

Since the rules inside a Grotto Heaven are set by great powers themselves, unless someone enters possessing greater cultivation than the master of the Grotto Heaven, one must abide by the Grotto Heaven’s rules.

Once the Grotto Heaven Core is recognized as the master, one can ignore the Grotto Heaven’s rules.

The waiting time passed quickly, and a few hours later, Li Yuanba felt a strong spatial fluctuation emanating from the peak.

”The space gate is about to open, get ready!” Core cultivators from the superpowers all spoke up.

Suddenly, various lights flickered as the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners cast various defensive spells on themselves or their fellow sect members. Those with defensive magic treasures also activated them.

The Sword Cultivators handled things more simply, only casting defensive spells upon themselves since not many Sword Cultivators possessed defensive magic treasures.

A green light flickered on Li Yuanba’s body as the ’Innate Wood Divine Power’ activated. He cast the ’Innate Wood Divine Power’ on Wu Qi and the other four core Sword Cultivators, as well as Tang Xue Ning.

This was his advanced application of the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Power, derived from his true self Li Shiming’s latest insights.

After cultivating the ’Heavenly Human Technique’, Li Shiming noticed significant lifts in his Five Elements Divine Techniques, and these enhancements continued to grow as he practiced the ’Heavenly Human Technique’.

The enhancements to the divine skills acquired by Li Shiming were naturally shared with his avatar, Li Yuanba.

Since Li Yuanba did not possess Wood Element Talent, the energy autonomously absorbed within his ’Innate Wood’ Divine Power Rune could only be released ten times for the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Power.

With the enhancement, the ’Innate Wood Divine Power’ could now also retain within a cultivator’s body, triggering automatic healing upon injury until the ’Innate Wood Divine Power’ energy within was fully consumed.

Regarding his ’Innate Wood Divine Power’ healing effect, it’s practically equivalent to a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth-grade Advanced Healing Spirit Pill.

”I never expected us Sword Cultivators to also have such high-level auxiliary effects!” Wu Qi said with a smile, feeling the healing energy from the ’Innate Wood Divine Power’ within him.

The other core Sword Cultivators also smiled. With a Sword Cultivator like Li Yuanba who possessed healing abilities, they felt a bit less anxious about the impending dangers.

Though Tang Xue Ning wasn’t a core Sword Cultivator, being a friend of Li Yuanba’s, she also enjoyed the benefits afforded to core Sword Cultivators.

Li Yuanba waved his hand to retract the mid-stage Golden Corpse; no one knew if Corpse Refining was feasible inside the Grotto Heaven, so it was wise to keep the mid-stage Golden Corpse secured until the environment was confirmed to allow its presence.

He held the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ in his hand; ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ was contained but could release both force fields with a single thought.

Additionally, ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ could also be considered a defensive magic treasure, as its dual force fields could influence any magical treasures attempting to enter it.

”The usual procedure—each superpower sends in one core cultivator first, followed by ten ordinary cultivators each, then all core cultivators, and finally the remaining ordinary cultivators.” Yin Chang, who was quite spirited, announced loudly.

This rule was established for the safety of cultivators, starting with a core cultivator to suppress threats at the entrance, followed by ten ordinary cultivators to establish a safe defensive camp for each faction.

This method has been proven a highly effective safety measure, learned from countless cultivators’ experiences.

”Li Yuanba, fellow Daoist, cannot enter first!” At this moment, Che Lian from the Infinite Sect said in a deep voice.

Che Lian’s words prompted other core cultivators to express similar opinions, unwilling to let Li Yuanba enter first as a representative of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Considering Li Yuanba’s combat power in conjunction with that mid-stage Golden Corpse, he could potentially quickly clear out other superpowers’ core cultivators who had entered, and even the ten ordinary cultivators following might not be able to suppress Li Yuanba sufficiently.

Che Lian made this judgment based on Li Yuanba being the foremost in combat prowess at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, despite any resentment he had towards this title, he dared not underestimate Li Yuanba’s power.

Under great fame, there are no failures, especially in the Cultivation World, where names built upon numerous powerful cultivators are not false.

This is why many cultivators, even without having faced Li Yuanba or witnessed his capabilities, still acknowledged his title as the foremost Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner.

”I will enter first for the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!” Wu Qi stepped forward and said.
