Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1441: Chapter 767: Base

The cultivators saw five mid-stage Golden Corpses, and their enthusiasm erupted immediately.

In the past few days, it was these five mid-stage Golden Corpses that enabled them to persist and survive. At the most dangerous moment, seeing the five mid-stage Golden Corpses again gave them hope to live on.

The gravity field of ‘Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ enveloped an area. At this moment, Li Yuanba had no time to consider other matters and was fully driving the gravity field of the ‘Ten Thousand Sword Peak’.

Energy kept flowing from within him, and with the need to manipulate the gravity field to only affect the hell creatures, he had no extra strength to concern himself with other matters.

The remaining hundred or so cultivators felt a weakening of the hell creatures’ attacks as their speed distinctly decreased. How could they miss such an opportunity? They attacked the hell creatures with all sorts of spells.

At this time, the other Sword Cultivators also entered the battlefield. Great Cultivator Lou and Grandmaster Wu were cautiously on guard, only making a move when Fourth Grade Late Stage hell beings appeared.

As soon as Sword Cultivators entered the Hell Cave Heaven, they joined the combat.

Having just entered, their Lifebound Flying Swords had not yet been tainted by radiation, making this the time when their combat power was strongest.

One Lifebound Flying Sword after another shot out, continuously slaying the hell creatures.

“Why are they so weak?” questioned a Sword Cultivator after slaying a hell creature.

“Hurry up and deal with these hell monsters. Can’t you see Li Yuanba is making a strenuous effort to weaken their combat power for you?” Great Cultivator Lou said in a deep voice.

Upon entering, he immediately recognized that Li Yuanba was activating the gravity field of the ‘Ten Thousand Sword Peak’.

One can imagine the energy consumption needed to manipulate the gravity field to affect so many hell creatures of the same level.

Hearing Great Cultivator Lou’s words, the Sword Cultivators understood and accelerated their Lifebound Flying Sword attacks.

The attacking power of the Sword Cultivators was indeed the strongest, and they quickly cleared an area with a radius of about a hundred meters.

Great Cultivator Lou took out an Array Plate and deployed it on the ground. Instantly, the earth rose to form a five-meter-tall wall surrounding the area.

The earthen wall alone might not stop the hell creatures, but when combined with formations, it could provide a certain degree of resistance.

Meanwhile, the earthen wall continued thickening, and with each layer added, the wall flashed with the luminescence of formations.

Li Yuanba perceived the ingenuity of this formation, which involved imposing Array Runes on the earthen wall and layering it upon itself, progressively enhancing the wall’s defensive power.

Of course, the effect of this formation is limited; unless in a special environment, it could easily be broken.

Even a five-meter fortified, thickened wall can be easily flown over by cultivators.

But in the Hell Cave Heaven, it’s excellent. Judging by the habits of hell creatures, apart from the few that engage in airborne combat, most hell creatures fight by charging on the ground.

Thus, they will prioritize attacking the wall, and with the wall’s protection, the Sword Cultivators can unleash their Lifebound Flying Swords without hesitation to slay hell creatures.

Most importantly, this formation secures the entrance from the outside into the Hell Cave Heaven, giving incoming cultivators a relatively safe space.

The original plan was for all Sword Cultivators to spend some time, possibly utilizing even a great cultivator’s power, to clear an area and set up this formation.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanba utilized the gravity field to slow the hell creatures’ movements, allowing the Sword Cultivators to quickly clear this area.

And Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion nearly didn’t expend anything to establish this temporary base.

“Retreat into the formation!” Great Cultivator Lou ordered sternly.

They had only a hundred Sword Cultivators, so once dispersed, this formation could not be maintained.

“Yuanba, you should rest too!” Great Cultivator Lou said to Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba, feeling the tremendous consumption, nodded and deactivated the gravity field.

At this point, the cultivators and Sword Cultivators retreated into the base together.

The Sword Cultivators did not refuse to join forces with the convict cultivators. At this time, any additional combat strength was of great help.

Only Li Yuanba’s five mid-stage Golden Corpses remained outside the formation, scattered, blocking sections of the formation wall.

Li Yuanba consumed a Spirit Pill to replenish his spiritual energy. He sat cross-legged inside the formation, quickly absorbing the pill’s energy.

From the time he entered the Hell Cave Heaven until now, it had only been thirty seconds, but just those thirty seconds had drained most of his spiritual energy.

At this moment, more cultivators entered; this time, it was Hongguang Venerable of Da Leiyin Temple, leading a hundred mid-stage Venerables into the battlefield.

“Amitabha, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion is indeed formidable, establishing a safe base in such a short time!” exclaimed Hongguang Venerable with a Buddhist chant of praise upon seeing the scene before him.

They had expected to face enemies as soon as they entered, having not lingered much longer since the Sword Cultivators of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion entered.

Yet in this short time, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had established a base in the Hell Cave Heaven with formation defenses.

Although this base is not truly safe, as a transit point for entering the Cave Heaven, with more cultivators joining, the numbers here will only grow.
