Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1457: Chapter 775: The Tower

Everyone, upon seeing the high tower, showed a look of amazement.

It’s not that these cultivators lack knowledge; on the contrary, all the cultivators here come from various superpowers and are the most knowledgeable group in the Cultivation World.

The high tower in front of them is made from ordinary rock, but its surface is covered with runes.

This is what surprised the cultivators because ordinary rocks simply cannot withstand the engraving of runes.

Li Yuanba was also watching. Sharing artifact refining and formation abilities with his original self made him more aware of the material quality required for runes.

The spiritual treasures he refined were all based on materials of Fourth Grade Top Quality, and only such materials could withstand billions of micro-engraved runes.

Even with Li Shiming’s artifact refining skills, he could not engrave runes on mundane rock, let alone so many runes.

The high tower before him stood over a hundred meters tall, resembling a pillar.

To him, the high tower didn’t feel like a building; rather, it seemed like a spike grown from the earth.

”I sense the aura of a formation; this is a formation base!” a Great Cultivator skilled in formations voiced his opinion solemnly.

”Does that mean if we destroy this formation base, we can break the formation?” another Great Cultivator responded with a question.

With a ”boom,” even as the question was asked, Great Cultivator Lou’s Lifebound Flying Sword had already struck the tower, producing a deafening sound.

All the cultivators looked at the place on the tower that was struck, their eyes wide in disbelief as they observed the spot on the tower.

At that spot, not a single mark was left.

None of the cultivators thought that Great Cultivator Lou’s Lifebound Flying Sword was weak. The attack power of a Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator ranks among the top here.

Yet even such an attack failed to leave any mark on the high tower.

”Is this really ordinary rock?” Great Cultivator Lou murmured.

Although he didn’t use his full strength in this strike, he used half his power. Even if a top-grade Fourth Grade Magical Treasure were placed in front of him, without the protection of its owner’s spiritual power, he could leave a mark on it.

In fact, whether it was ordinary rock, he had already probed just now. Regarding this, not to mention a Great Cultivator, any cultivator here could not possibly judge incorrectly.

”Let me try!” The Great Cultivator from Yuqing Sect said, casting a glance at Great Cultivator Lou.

He intended to use this matter to surpass Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion in retaliation for them not letting Li Yuanba help.

Of course, to surpass Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, he needed to succeed in damaging the high tower.

’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ appeared before him; an enormous amount of thunder attribute spiritual power flowed into the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’, and terrifying power of thunder and lightning burst from it.

For ten breaths, he prepared himself. All the Great Cultivators could see that he was storing power.

Storing power can enhance attack strength; especially in such attacks where time isn’t a concern, it can boost combat prowess by thirty or forty percent.

Compared to Great Cultivator Lou from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, who used only half his strength, the Great Cultivator from Yuqing Sect was going all out.

Just as the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ was filled with power of thunder and lightning to the point of almost overflowing, the Great Cultivator activated the ’Thunder Fall Skill’.

A huge bolt of lightning struck the high tower heavily, and Li Yuanba could sense a sliver of Rule Power within that bolt; this Great Cultivator truly spared no effort.

The ’Thunder Fall Skill’ is a single-target thunder magic, additionally compressed by the Great Thunder Cultivator to focus the attack on a single point.

Clearly, the Great Thunder Cultivator also saw the peculiarity of the tower and used this focused attack, aiming to surpass Great Cultivator Lou by leaving even a single mark.

The lightning struck the high tower, and after striking, it dispersed outward from the contact point.

Not only did it spread across the tower but also flowed into the earth through it.

Once all the lightning had disappeared, no mark was left on the tower.

”There’s no need to try again; this tower is integrated with the Hell Cave Heaven. Unless you have the power to forcibly destroy Hell Cave Heaven, the tower won’t be affected at all!” Hongguang Venerable explained solemnly.

He could discern a hint of this because a similar structure exists within the grotto heaven of Da Leiyin Temple.

This type of structure existed from the formation of Grotto Heaven and grew with it. Additionally, deliberately arranged by powerful beings, it possesses an almost indestructible characteristic.

”Let’s establish a second base here!” Meanwhile, Great Cultivator Lou’s proposal sounded in Li Yuanba’s ear.

This wasn’t Great Cultivator Lou asking him but a transmission channel for Great Cultivators to discuss matters.

”Building a second base here is indeed a good idea. Starting from here, the monsters seem influenced by the tower or the formation, which has enhanced their battle coordination. We need a base to rest!” another Great Cultivator agreed.

Ever since approaching the tower, all the Great Cultivators noticed the increasing difficulty of the fights. Considering this tower as a formation base, it surely relates to the sudden coordination of the Hell Creatures.

”Agree!”

”Agree!”

...

With the continuous agreement from the Great Cultivators, the proposal was approved.
