Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1619: Chapter 856: The Beginning

Li Yuanba closed his eyes and rested, ignoring the great cultivators not far away.

He thought that once the time came for the great cultivators’ resource point to mature, he would directly enter the formation of the resource point and take the great cultivator’s resources.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that everyone here is a great cultivator; the competition for great cultivator resources is not a matter of casual action.

Great cultivators need to carefully unleash their power, as any actions that disrupt the environment will bring retaliation from all forces.

The mission details released by the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion include relevant explanations.

Under these conditions, it is instead extremely advantageous for sword cultivators.

It’s important to know that other great cultivators, wanting to exert their full combat power, often utilize methods that affect large areas, which cannot be employed inside the resource point.

Perhaps only when the formation of the resource point is broken can great cultivators release some extremely powerful techniques; once the formation is broken, they need to restrain their power to ensure none of their attacks affect the surroundings.

While he was thinking, a great cultivator stood up without a word, soared into the sky, and headed off into the distance.

Soon after, another great cultivator also stood up and flew off into the distance.

Among the remaining great cultivators, some showed mocking expressions, seemingly disdainful of the cowardice of these two great cultivators. Others looked hesitant, considering whether to also withdraw like those two.

Li Yuanba did not need to open his eyes to know that the two great cultivators who left were the ones he had met in the Hell Cave Heaven back then.

Great cultivators who have truly witnessed Li Yuanba’s strength would consider his enhanced power after advancing to a great cultivator.

Clearly, these two great cultivators were self-aware, knowing their capabilities and acknowledging the low chance of competing for great cultivator resources in this battlefield that favored sword cultivators.

And it was evident that Li Yuanba was not someone who showed mercy; several great cultivators had already been killed by him.

Back in the Hell Cave Heaven, Li Yuanba killed too many cultivators, and his decisiveness in killing was well known to the great cultivators present.

”Mr. Li, I will not participate in this competition for great cultivator resources. See you when I have free time!” Great Cultivator Sun stood up and said with a smile.

”Mr. Sun, thank you for giving way!” Li Yuanba opened his eyes and bowed slightly to Great Cultivator Sun.

Since Great Cultivator Sun openly withdrew, Li Yuanba showed him some respect.

Great Cultivator Sun, hearing his words, took off into the sky with a smile. His true feelings, however, remain unknown.

In any case, it wouldn’t be pleasant. The great cultivators who came here all accepted the task, but to leave without any results after all the effort wouldn’t be satisfying.

But he understood very clearly that engaging with such a powerful sword cultivator like Li Yuanba just for the still undecided great cultivator resources was not worth it.

Moreover, withdrawing in time allows him to form a bond with Li Yuanba.

There were only six great cultivators left on the scene, and after observing the situation, two more great cultivators departed.

The last four remaining great cultivators were not convinced by Li Yuanba’s influence; they had heard of Li Yuanba’s reputation.

But a title as the best Nascent Soul Middle Stage in the cultivation world could not intimidate these four great cultivators who hadn’t witnessed Li Yuanba’s combat prowess during his Nascent Soul Middle Stage era.

The four great cultivators exchanged glances and, through a series of transmitted messages, sat closer together, seemingly forming a temporary alliance.

Li Yuanba couldn’t care less about them; even if these four great cultivators united, they didn’t pose much pressure on him.

After several more two hours had passed, a great cultivator flew over from a distance.

”Hmm, why are there so few great cultivators participating this time?” This great cultivator approached and, seeing only five great cultivators present, asked in wonder.

Li Yuanba did not recognize him and, naturally, did not respond to his question.

The other four great cultivators, on guard against Li Yuanba, also ignored this new great cultivator.

”Surely the battle hasn’t started early. With so few great cultivators, breaking the formation would be more difficult!” This great cultivator, unconcerned, commented to himself after landing.

After observing for a while, realizing something was off at the scene, he decided not to join either side and sat down in another direction.

In the following days, several more great cultivators arrived.

It’s unclear if news of Li Yuanba’s presence spread, but no great cultivators who had been to the Hell Cave Heaven showed up; all were unfamiliar great cultivators to Li Yuanba.

These later-arriving great cultivators were all wary of the four great cultivators who first formed an alliance.

As for Li Yuanba, the new great cultivators also observed him, but they regarded him with less concern than the four allianced great cultivators.

As the time for the great cultivator resources within the resource point to mature drew near, all the great cultivators outside the resource point could sense the energy fluctuations being emitted from it.

This indicated the resource point for great cultivators had strengthened its formation’s isolation effect, a situation only occurring when the great cultivator resources within the resource point matured, temporarily enhancing the isolation effect of the formation to prevent any leaks.

If the formation’s isolation effect were not strengthened, the aura of the maturing great cultivator resources would slightly escape, attracting the attention of cultivators and spirit beasts alike.
