Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1768 - 930: Emerging from Seclusion (Part 2)

Among alchemy masters in the cultivation world, such a feat is almost impossible, save for Li Shiming, this alchemy master who can use a space with 0.05-nanometer precision for alchemy.

Over these decades, besides aiding various factions’ great cultivators in alchemy, Li Shiming has started refining the large quantities of great cultivator’s spirit medicine he obtained into great cultivator’s spirit pills.

It is thanks to the mass alchemy that a certain number of top-grade spirit pills for great cultivators came into existence.

The twenty top-grade spirit pills for great cultivators delivered to Li Yuanba had an effect beyond imagination.

With each pill’s ingestion, Li Yuanba’s cultivation visibly soared.

Considering that these pills embody the essence condensed from a hundred furnaces of great cultivator spirit pills, it’s only normal for them to possess such effects.

Li Shiming monopolizes the crafting of great cultivator spirit pills in the cultivation world and secured a large amount of great cultivator spirit medicine from the divine palace in Cloud Island Sea; otherwise, forging top-grade spirit pills for great cultivators would be impossible.

Li Yuanba opened his mouth, and the five jade bottles before him automatically uncorked, allowing the spirit pills inside to fly into his mouth.

This set of pills aids the advancement to peak great cultivator, and they’re all of high quality.

For ordinary cultivators, obtaining even one of them is challenging, yet he possesses all five.

As the five high-level spirit pills for great cultivators entered his belly, his aura began to intensify dramatically.

The terrifying ’chaos sword intent’ involuntarily surged from within, fluctuating in size alongside his inner aura.

”Has this young one’s cultivation reached such heights?” Sword Elder murmured in surprise as he observed the commotion outside Li Yuanba’s grotto.

The significant disturbance in the grotto naturally drew his attention.

However, Li Yuanba was no longer the fledgling cultivator he once was, and coupled with the greatly enhanced formation around his grotto, Sword Elder couldn’t just casually enter and exit as he did in the past.

”Sword Elder, how is Yuanba faring?” Jian Wuwei hastily inquired upon arriving after hearing the news, witnessing Sword Elder’s amazement.

Sword Elder glanced at Jian Wuwei, reached out and heavily slapped him, almost knocking Jian Wuwei down.

”You lucky lad, blessed with such a disciple!” Sword Elder replied enviously.

Any cultivator hopes for such a disciple.

”You still haven’t said how Yuanba is doing,” Jian Wuwei asked again, feeling aggrieved.

”Your disciple is breaking through to the peak great cultivator realm, and judging by the aura, this promotion shouldn’t be a major issue!” Sword Elder explained with a smile.

The news left Jian Wuwei astonished.

He was thoroughly familiar with the peak great cultivator realm.

Why do these super forces, within the same timeframe, at most have only one or two peak great cultivators?

It’s not because super forces lack resources, but due to the scarcity of cultivators with the aptitude to reach the peak great cultivator level—each one is undeniably a genius among great cultivators.

Thus, Jian Wuwei’s shock upon learning Li Yuanba was breaching the peak great cultivator level far surpassed the surprise of his initial great cultivator ascension.

In such few years, Li Yuanba advanced from initial great cultivator to peak great cultivator.

Examining himself, yet aware he hadn’t reached the nascent soul middle stage peak, Jian Wuwei began doubting his own talent.

”If Yuanba reaches peak great cultivator level, then wouldn’t that mean he has a high possibility of becoming a great power?” Jian Wuwei asked excitedly.

”That possibility exists!” Sword Elder pondered momentarily before affirming.

Sword Elder considered all histories of peak great cultivators in the cultivation world and compared them to those advancing as great powers; cultivators advancing to peak great cultivators at this age have a high likelihood of advancing as great powers.

While Jian Wuwei was speaking, he suddenly sensed a terrifying sword intent breaking through Li Yuanba’s grotto formation.

Facing this monstrous sword intent, he felt his mind suppressed.

Sword Elder intervened to shield him from the sword intent, neutralizing its impact on him.

”This sword intent is only slightly inferior to the sword intent within the ’Sword Intent Stele,’ he might become the sole sword cultivator to restore the ’Sword Intent Stele’s’ sword intent!” Sword Elder said while admiring the ’chaos sword intent.’

Li Yuanba’s aura stabilized at the peak great cultivator level, feeling his strength, as a pure peak great cultivator sword cultivator, marked by indescribable sharpness.

He felt as if nothing in the world could hinder his sword intent, though aware it’s the illusionary might from recent advancement.

He swiftly adjusted his mindset, knowing his original body, Li Shiming, lingered at the peak great cultivator level for several decades, and no matter how potent his duplicate, it couldn’t compare within that level.

Yet his battle prowess surged by several folds.

Among peak great cultivators now, truly capable of enduring his full-force sword strike may only be his original body, Li Shiming.

Based on those peak great cultivators he’s encountered with Li Shiming, none can withstand his full-power sword strike.

Awakening from his cultivation enhancement, Li Yuanba sensed Sword Elder and Jian Wuwei’s aura outside his grotto.

He gathered the ’chaos sword intent’ and opened the grotto.

”Greetings Sword Elder, greetings Master!” He exited the grotto, saluted both Sword Elder and Jian Wuwei.

”Yuanba, congratulations, the pavilion will unlock all core scriptures for you, and when you decide to build a grotto heaven, the pavilion will prepare a treasure necessary for its construction!” Sword Elder congratulated with a smile.

”Thank you, Sword Elder!” Li Yuanba expressed gratitude.

He understood that not every peak great cultivator in Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s history enjoys such treats.

The treasure needed for grotto heaven construction refers to the heavenly mechanism treasure.

Even Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion harbors very few heavenly mechanism treasures.

Reportedly, these treasures often haven’t experienced merely one half-step great power.

Should half-step great powers use heavenly mechanism treasures to build a grotto heaven and fail eventually after years of cultivation, the sect retrieves these treasures to avert their demise along with the grotto heaven.

This too contributes to the residual aura imprinted on the heavenly mechanism treasures within Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, alongside diminished internal energy.

Though, notwithstanding how heavenly mechanism treasures fare, they’re among the cultivation world’s finest treasures.

Whether Li Yuanba could acquire better heavenly mechanism treasures from Li Shiming’s original body remains uncertain, especially ones suited for a sword cultivator.

Thus, the treasure offered by Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion surely aligns with sword cultivators.

”Yuanba, this master of yours has nothing more to offer!” Jian Wuwei remarked.

Even with the intention to assist Li Yuanba, now as a peak great cultivator, Li Yuanba’s rank and stature instantly ascended in Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion to above all sword cultivators except Sword Elder and another peak great cultivator, Jian Tianyi.

”Master, what you’ve done is more than sufficient!” Li Yuanba responded with a smile.

He thrives in training and life at Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion due to the favor gained from Jian Wuwei.

Why Sword Elder holds such interest in him is due to his status as Jian Wuwei’s disciple.

”Well, Wuwei you must also strive in cultivation, catching up quickly! Yuanba, the ’Sword Intent Stele’ will prioritize your access henceforth, permitting you insight whenever its energy renews!” Sword Elder gestured.

Sword Elder means to aid Li Yuanba further, not merely enhancing his prowess, but due to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s relatively modest support toward Li Yuanba.

Evaluating Li Yuanba’s employed cultivation resources shows minimal reliance on Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s resources.

Sword Elder must compensate Li Yuanba through other means, ensuring his allegiance to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.
