Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1470 - 781: Arrival (Part 2)

Meanwhile, the Yuqing Sect squad occupied the central position, where relentless lightning bolts flashed endlessly, preventing any hell creatures from drawing near as they got obliterated on the spot.

Li Yuanba unleashed a sword beam, striking down a hell creature that attempted to close in on the group. It wasn't his reluctance to eliminate more hell creatures; instead, the quantity of hell creatures confronting the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion's team remained scarce.

He cast a quick look at Master Wang He, offering a subtle smile. Though Master Wang He remained silent, it was obvious to everyone that his moves were aimed at curbing the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion's sword cultivator squad.

Yet, what good does this kind of curbing do?

The Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion faced no real harm from Master Wang He's efforts. Had the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion dispatched their top sword cultivator, just like Yuqing Sect, Master Wang He wouldn't have stood a chance.

Besides, among all the major powers here, which doesn't boast a peak Great Cultivator?

They simply chose not to deploy them because it wasn't required. If Yuqing Sect's prior two Thunder Cultivators hadn't perished, would they have bothered sending Master Wang He?

Li Yuanba perceived this with utmost clarity, and he figured that numerous Great Cultivators had spotted it as well.

"Yuan Ba, once this task wraps up, you'll be set to retreat into seclusion!" Great Cultivator Lou sent a mental message.

Great Cultivator Lou deemed the fight far too straightforward, so he struck up a conversation with Li Yuanba to pass the time.

"I intend to start partial seclusion right after we get back. Full seclusion might not work yet, as I have a few alchemy tasks left to finish!" Li Yuanba pondered briefly before responding.

Through these fierce clashes, his ’Chaos Sword Intent’ had deepened to an advanced state. From his sense, even pushing his realm to Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak wouldn't face bottlenecks from lacking sword intent insight.

That said, reaching Nascent Soul Middle Stage remains no simple feat.

Even with abundant supplies at hand, Li Yuanba still needs extended periods of dedicated Cultivation.

"Following this assignment, I'll redeem my contribution points for multiple batches of alchemy materials. When that happens, I'll count on your help!" Great Cultivator Lou secured his spot ahead of time.

"Sure thing!" Li Yuanba consented right away.

This gesture left Great Cultivator Lou deeply appreciative. The duration for concocting spirit pills varies wildly, and brewing one for a Great Cultivator demands at least a month-plus, which seriously hampers a cultivator's advancement.

Having undergone plenty of honing, Li Yuanba was primed to dive into focused Cultivation.

Producing those Nascent Soul Middle Stage fourth-grade spirit pills would require no more than ten hours, so the effect on his Cultivation stays minor, yet nonstop alchemy spanning over a month devours that much Cultivation duration.

Li Yuanba's instant agreement highlighted the high regard he held for Great Cultivator Lou.

Great Cultivator Lou grasped the unique progression traits of sword cultivators; elevating their realms demands parallel boosts in Cultivation and sword intent.

Realm elevation calls for isolated Cultivation, whereas sword intent demands sharpening via combat trials.

With Li Yuanba's sword intent now adequately forged, the next step was isolated Cultivation.

"Lou Wu can target Nascent Soul Middle Stage once this mission ends!" Li Yuanba faced his disciple Lou Wu and declared with a grin.

"This assignment gave him excellent practice!" When it came to his offspring, Great Cultivator Lou beamed.

Lou Wu trailed the sword cultivator squad, and despite the extra protection from Great Cultivator Lou and Li Yuanba, he still faced multiple perils.

Luckily, backed by the ’Innate Wood’ divine ability and the ’Space Acceptance Array’ for endurance, Lou Wu avoided any mishaps.

A Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator stays pretty fragile in Hell Cave Heaven, though the gains are tremendous. His sword intent had grown substantially, already fulfilling the criteria for Nascent Soul Middle Stage breakthrough.

"Watch out, something's stirring up front!" Master Teng cautioned, cutting short the exchange between Li Yuanba and Great Cultivator Lou.

The hell creatures' numbers exploded all at once, forcing even the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion squad on the left flank to confront a hefty wave of them.

Li Yuanba lost interest in talking; he flicked his wrist, sending out multiple sword beams.

The ’Chaos Sword Intent’ had shed its earlier showy edge; energy drain dropped sharply while potency held steady, a perk of true proficiency in the ’Chaos Sword Intent’.

Maybe no other sword cultivator could rival his rapid sword intent evolution; during battles, he refined the ’Chaos Sword Intent’.

Meanwhile, his primary form, Li Shiming, steadily upgraded the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ by analyzing the Sword Intent Stele, leveraging shared insights from dual Cultivation with the avatar Li Yuanba.

Contrasting the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ from months back against today's version, the progress shone through.

At present, his ’Chaos Sword Intent’ edged nearer to the essence of the Sword Intent Stele. Though a wide divide lingered, he closed in steadily.

He felt assured that with this ’Chaos Sword Intent’, wielding the Fourth Grade Top Quality Xingyi Sword, he could overpower a standard Great Cultivator.

In his view, a typical Great Cultivator aligned with the caliber of Master Ge Guang and Master Qiao.

Li Yuanba's sword beams danced relentlessly, mowing down the hell creatures ahead of the squad like weeds.

As a single sword beam hit a hell creature, its energy flared wildly; it turned out to be a fourth-grade late stage hell entity masking its presence.

However, this fourth-grade late stage hell entity clearly hadn't foreseen the sheer might of the opposing ’Chaos Sword Intent’. Even after surging its power, the beam infused with ’Chaos Sword Intent’ carved right through its form.

The fourth-grade late stage hell entity unleashed a furious bellow, brimming with frustration.

Next, its frame crumbled, twitching in resistance without full defeat, rendering further combat impossible.

Li Yuanba felt a jolt of surprise; he hadn't foreseen running into a fourth-grade late stage hell entity, but the beam's effectiveness aligned with his hopes.

This fourth-grade late stage hell entity met misfortune, assuming its foes were chiefly Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators, so it tried to fool them by tanking a sword beam strike to lunge in for a counter.

Yet it never imagined the assaulting sword beam would pack such horrifying force.

The ’Chaos Sword Intent’ pierced the defenses of the fourth-grade late stage hell entity, with the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ seeping inside to unleash total inner havoc.

From spirit to body, the ruthless onslaughts stripped the fourth-grade late stage hell entity of bodily command.

A flying sword pierced the skull of the fourth-grade late stage hell entity, reducing its remains to dust and dropping a chunk of ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’.

"Yuan Ba, your power has clearly surged ahead; I couldn't handle it with such effortless flair!" Great Cultivator Lou noted with praise after dispatching the fourth-grade late stage hell entity, addressing Li Yuanba.

As a master sword cultivator Great Cultivator, he seldom joined these routine skirmishes, stepping in solely during dire straits.

His maximum output yields mightier sword beams than Li Yuanba's, but Li Yuanba fired them in a steady stream, indicating scant fatigue on his part.

Great Cultivator Lou didn't possess that capability; his sword beams derived strength from amplified sword intent and spirit power, laced with hints of rule forces.

Were he to unleash sword beams like Li Yuanba's, he couldn't replicate the casual demolition of fourth-grade late stage hell entities. Sustaining that level of power per beam would exhaust his inner reserves quickly.

"That fourth-grade late stage hell monster offered zero resistance!" Li Yuanba clarified with a grin.

Even with his words, the fresh feat thrilled every sword cultivator – dispatching fourth-grade late stage hell entities with a offhand sword beam lay beyond what Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators could manage.
