Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1390: Chapter 741: Sheathing the Sword (Part 2)

Within each flying sword, there is a spiritual imprint of ownership. Losing ten spiritual imprints of ownership continuously, the puppet statues’ already limited spiritual energy dropped to its limit.

Li Yuanba looked regretfully at the two puppet statues. From them, he obtained twenty flying swords containing great cultivator sword intent, which was much faster than the effort he spent refining pills at the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion for rewards.

One must know that even though the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion is a superpower, the quantity of great cultivator spiritual medicine a great cultivator can obtain is extremely limited, and his commissions for refining great cultivator spirit pills aren’t many.

But look at him now, in just a short while, he had reaped twenty flying swords containing great cultivator sword intent from the two puppet statues.

His gaze fell on the puppet statues on both sides of the road ahead, hoping the subsequent ones are sword cultivators.

As he thought about this, he had already walked forward. When he entered the combat range of the next pair of puppet statues, they came to life.

Feeling the aura of the two puppet statues, Li Yuanba was not afraid but delighted.

He sensed the familiar aura of a sword cultivator, and two flying swords containing great cultivator sword intent flew out from the two puppet statues towards him.

The battle lasted less than two hundred breaths, and he obtained twenty more flying swords containing great cultivator sword intent.

However, this was too slow. He gazed at the long road ahead and the puppet statues along both sides.

Accelerating his pace, he charged forward.

As he approached the puppet statues, they revived, followed by the separation and attack of the flying swords.

While controlling the flying swords, he released the ’Sanmei Divine Wind’ to envelop around him. The flying swords entering the ’Sanmei Divine Wind’ range quickly had their spiritual imprints of ownership erased and were then collected into the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’.

He activated another pair of puppet statues, and the previous pair was pursuing him, releasing another set of flying swords to attack him.

Li Yuanba linked with the natal treasure IBMz15 of the main body Li Shiming, calculating the optimal speed at which he could collect flying swords without falling into danger.

He could incite the maximum number of puppet statues while withstanding their attacks without going beyond his endurance.

IBMz15 took only one breath to calculate his speed.

Following this speed, he walked along the road.

After continuously activating six pairs of puppet statues, the earliest pair lost their ability to act after exhausting the tenth flying sword.

Thus, he would only be attacked by six pairs of puppet statues at most, continuously collecting flying swords containing great cultivator sword intent into the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’.

This road, for other Nascent Soul Cultivators, even for a great cultivator, would not be as easy as it was for him.

The combination of ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ and ’Sanmei Divine Wind’ divine skills turned this extremely dangerous road into a journey of harvest for Li Yuanba.

In fact, the number of great cultivator sword cultivator puppet statues on this road was not as many as he imagined. After several hours of progress, he reached the end.

Altogether, he encountered two hundred great cultivator sword cultivator puppet statues, acquiring two thousand flying swords containing great cultivator sword intent.

If it weren’t for the time needed to convert flying swords by ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’, compounded by such a large quantity, it would take even longer; by now, relying on the combat power of ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ alone, his strength would have risen significantly.

It’s unimaginable — over two thousand flying swords containing great cultivator sword intent flying out together — what kind of power that would be.

At present, no number of Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners could threaten him. One flying sword containing great cultivator sword intent could kill a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator of a superpower, a battle he had personally tested.

Even against a Nascent Soul Middle Stage core cultivator of a superpower, at most five consecutive flying sword attacks containing great cultivator sword intent would be enough to slay them.

He looked back at the road, seeing no more great cultivators to fleece.

He also didn’t think about the fact that there were two hundred puppet statues made from great cultivators here, a number exceeding the total of all great cultivators on the Central State Continent.

It’s hard to say whether the total number of great cultivators he knows in other continents even reaches two hundred.

Only because the great power Langcai lived long enough and employed certain special means to cultivate great cultivators did he accumulate so many great cultivator sword cultivator puppet statues in the cave heaven.

If the power of the cave heaven hadn’t waned significantly, relying on the two hundred great cultivator sword cultivator puppet statues, combined with the cave heaven master, they would be enough to resist any invading enemies.

This wasn’t intended to deal with Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners, nor even against Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, but a preparation for preventing same-level great power invasions.

Unfortunately, Langcai Great Power fell, the cave heaven declined, and even these means of responding to great power invasions were easily resolved by Li Yuanba, who is only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Li Yuanba reached the end of the Golden Brick Avenue, where stairs of the gold platform extend upward.

Most notably, these stairs are set in the void, without any support.

Using ’Divine Eye Skill’ to look up the stairs, he found mist ahead, which even his ’Divine Eye Skill’ could not penetrate far.

Shaking his head, having reached here and sensing the direction of the spiritual energy above, the cave heaven core should be there.

He tried and found he was still unable to fly, and ’Divine Foot Skill’ couldn’t be used, leaving him to continue on foot.

Stepping onto the stairs, he felt his body slightly sink.

”Gravity field!” he muttered with a peculiar expression.

These stairs are laid with a gravity field, but this gravity field should be tolerable even for a Qi Refining First Level cultivator, let alone a Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner.

As he thought about it, he ascended the second stair.

This time, the gravity doubled, but it still had no effect on him, though his expression shifted slightly.

He took the third stair, and the increased gravity confirmed his suspicion.

Glancing at the stairs, if the gravity keeps increasing like this, he wasn’t sure how many more steps he could ascend.

He turned to check behind him. Seeing that the road and stairs behind him had disappeared, leaving nothing but void, his brow furrowed even more deeply.

The void held immense terror, according to his perception, and jumping into it might not end better than being crushed by gravity.

With no way back, he resumed looking up the stairs, hoping there weren’t too many steps.

Step by step, as he ascended, the stairs below him vanished one by one.

The gravity on him grew heavier and heavier, until he stumbled on a step, nearly falling, understanding he was reaching his limit.

”Seems I can’t get through this without some means,” Li Yuanba murmured.

Pointing a finger lightly at the spiritual treasure ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ above his head, he had noticed earlier that the gravity on these steps only affected him, with ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ unaffected.

If the gravity had affected ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’, he wouldn’t have been able to bear its weight several steps before.

The gravitational field of ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ activated. Do not underestimate its ordinary-seeming power; even Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners of the same level can only be slowed, not completely suppressed.

This doesn’t mean the gravitational field is weak; the main issue is his level is too low to fully unleash the might of the spiritual treasure ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’.

Spiritual treasures being the weapons of great power isn’t without cause; the potential to harness their might is limited for him.

The gravitational field emitted by ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’, though practical power aside, is of the highest quality.
