Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1788 - 940: Guarding (Part 2)

Consider this: The Fourth Grade Spirit Tea crafted by Li Shizhen is already top-tier among Spiritual Teas in the Cultivation World, not to mention the Inquiry Tea brewed using Fourth Grade Inquiry Tea leaves as raw materials.

”I request Yuan Ba to protect me!” Master Wu Ge did not hesitate at all. He had just discussed insights with Li Yuanba and was at a spiritually receptive state—the perfect moment to savor the top-grade Inquiry Tea. He bowed to Li Yuanba and said.

”No problem, Brother Wu, please!” Li Yuanba did not refuse; he agreed aloud.

This was a show of trust from Master Wu Ge. It should be noted that many Great Cultivators had arrived outside the Great Cultivator resource point, making the current resource point extremely dangerous.

Master Wu Ge brewed the top-grade Inquiry Tea and began savoring it, focused and undistracted.

Li Yuanba’s consciousness entered the formation of the Great Cultivator resource point, checking the situation outside through the formation.

Among the Great Cultivators who arrived, there were only four Peak Great Cultivators, one of whom he knew was Ren Mu from Central State Commerce, and the other three were Great Cultivators from superforces of other continents.

Due to the decline of the five superforces in the Central State Continent, the superforces from other continents were less concerned about the superforces in Central State Continent and increasingly engaged in competing for Great Cultivator Spirit Medicine in Central State.

Besides the Peak Great Cultivators, there were over a dozen Great Cultivators near the peak realm.

Such a group of Great Cultivators already indicated formidable strength.

However, this was still not as concerning as the siege by the five superforces he experienced; hence, he was not overly worried about these Great Cultivators.

He raised his hand, sending a sword light towards the sky—this was the Sword Light of the Jian Family at the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, a mark revealing his identity.

The terrifying ’Chaos Sword Intent’ radiated with power as the sword light spread in the air, inducing fear in every Great Cultivator who witnessed it.

”Could it be Mr. Li Yuanba?” Master Ren Mu tightened his expression, bowed from a distance towards the Great Cultivator resource point, and inquired.

”Fellow Ren, let’s enjoy tea together next time!” Li Yuanba’s voice transmitted from inside the resource point.

”Since Mr. Li stands guard here, I shall retreat. I look forward to the time of tea tasting with Mr. Li!” Confirming that it was Li Yuanba guarding the Great Cultivator resource point, Master Ren Mu bid farewell without hesitation.

His figure flew in the opposite direction, soon disappearing into the void.

The other three Peak Great Cultivators glanced at each other hesitantly and saw the other Great Cultivators bow to the resource point and leave one by one.

”Look at that sword light!” One Peak Great Cultivator suddenly pointed towards the sword light above the Great Cultivator resource point.

The other two Peak Great Cultivators also looked at the sword light, astonished to find that the identity-representing sword light remained fixed in mid-air, not dissipating with time.

Under normal circumstances, such identity-revealing sword light does not last long.

After casting it, the connection to the sword light is severed.

Although the three Peak Great Cultivators sensed this, even after Li Yuanba severed the connection to the sword light, it remained.

If this sword light is fixed to a physical entity, it could stay for hundreds or thousands of years, but hovering unsupported in the void and able to maintain long-term presence requires an astonishing understanding of the Sword Intent Rule.

The more the three Peak Great Cultivators sensed, the more shocked they were. They found the sword light absorbing energy from the void.

In this state, the sword light can indeed maintain for long periods.

A sword light relying on the void and achieving long-term maintenance signifies that Li Yuanba is infinitely close to the Half-step Great Ability Realm.

At this point, the three Peak Great Cultivators no longer doubted prior rumors.

”Mr. Li, we shall take our leave!” The three Peak Great Cultivators bowed in unison and then departed.

Li Yuanba smiled faintly; the sword light contained all his insights on ’Chaos Sword Intent’ since ascending to Peak Great Cultivator Realm.

Imbued with the Sword Intent Rule, the manifested Sword Intent Rule absorbed energy from the void, constantly replenishing itself.

This was a significant breakthrough, thanks to Master Wu Ge’s selfless sharing.

”Phew!” Master Wu Ge let out a breath, with divine light swirling in his eyes as he opened them.

Li Yuanba looked at Master Wu Ge, whose insights lasted for one and a half hours—quite a long time.

”Thanks to Yuan Ba, I feel I can progress further!” Suppressing his excitement, Master Wu Ge bowed to Li Yuanba and said.

”It’s Brother Wu’s own accumulation that suffices, the Inquiry Tea merely pushed it a step forward!” Li Yuanba replied kindly with a bow.

Master Wu Ge didn’t say much to express gratitude, knowing the debt of goodwill was immense.

In the Great Cultivator Realm, even a minor step requires tremendous opportunities to overcome.

With the life span of a Great Cultivator, many spend their entire lives hovering around the initial and mid-stages without progressing much.

Though Master Wu Ge did accumulate enough, the top-grade Inquiry Tea acted like a key, helping him unlock the door to his bottleneck.

This crucial role greatly aided Master Wu Ge.

After a moment, having stabilized his emotions, Master Wu Ge began checking the situation outside the formation.

Finding all Great Cultivators outside had disappeared, he spotted the Jian Family Sword Light overhead.

As a Sword Cultivator, he had a deeper understanding of the sword light above.

”Hiss!” He breathed sharply, realizing the vast gap between himself and Li Yuanba.

With two days until the Great Cultivator Spirit Medicine ripened, Master Wu Ge continued discussing insights with Li Yuanba, sharing his revelations post top-grade Inquiry Tea consumption.

Aware this was a rare opportunity, he knew he was sharing the most, but Li Yuanba’s insights were enlightening like a sacred blessing.

Besides, Li Yuanba’s talent and power on the Sword Cultivator path—his knowledge pales in comparison.

Li Yuanba would never refuse to discuss insights with Master Wu Ge, the IBMz15 continuously recorded the information from Master Wu Ge, converting it into data for Sword Intent studies.

Outside the resource point, cultivators approached and departed.

Initially, many Great Cultivators were startled by the Jian Family Sword Light, but as news spread of Li Yuanba’s sword light fixed in the void, some Great Cultivators specifically came to look.

Regardless, no Great Cultivator dared linger long here, swiftly departing to avoid misunderstandings with Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba’s fierce reputation, established by the lives of 31 Great Cultivators from Central State Continent, exerted a strong deterrent to any Great Cultivator.

Until the Great Cultivator Spirit Medicine matured, collected by a dedicated Spirit Plant Master, the resource point faced no attacks.

”Yuan Ba, should the sword light remain here? With it present, this resource point would be safe from cultivators daring any notions!” Master Wu Ge said with a smile as the time for insights ended.

”I happened to gain insights and cast this sword light; let’s see how long it lasts here!” Li Yuanba shrugged indifferently and answered.

The dedicated Spirit Plant Master handed him the harvested Great Cultivator Spirit Medicine, which Li Yuanba took and stored.

This was part of his task, to carry the harvested Great Cultivator Spirit Medicine back to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

”Brother Wu, I shall bid farewell!” Li Yuanba said with a smile.

Master Wu Ge reluctantly saw Li Yuanba out of the resource point, then flew into the sky to observe the sword light closely.

However, when within ten meters of the sword light, he dared not approach further—the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ within stirred slightly as he neared ten meters.

Fearing that getting too close might provoke an attack from the ’Chaos Sword Intent’, incurring harm or causing the sword light to dissipate prematurely, he hesitated to venture further.
