Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1785 - 939: Testing
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
The legendary clash between Li Yuanba and the thirty-one Grand Cultivators from the five major powers echoed throughout the entire Cultivation World at an astonishing speed.
Previously, the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had already secured numerous critical resource locations belonging to these five superpowers, thanks to timely insider information.
Li Yuanba's renown was already considerable, but this singular battle propelled his reputation to unprecedented heights.
Certain factions even began to consider him the foremost Grand Cultivator, arguably surpassing Li Shiming himself.
It is a known fact that Li Shiming's most celebrated feat was the elimination of merely two Peak Grand Cultivators.
Whispers of Li Shiming vanquishing a Half-step Great Power existed, but these were often dismissed as unreliable rumors within the Cultivation World. Few factions were privy to this achievement, and thus, it did not gain widespread traction.
Consequently, upon hearing the news of Li Yuanba's conquest of thirty-one Grand Cultivators, including four Peak Grand Cultivators, his standing unequivocally ascended to that of the premier Grand Cultivator.
Li Yuanba spent an entire month recuperating within the secluded confines of his cave at the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, dedicating this period to thoroughly scrutinizing all five supreme treasures.
With the invaluable assistance of IBMz15, he had now attained the capability to fully harness the latent power of these five supreme treasures, reaching the zenith of what a Peak Grand Cultivator could achieve.
On a particular day, he retrieved his Identity Jade Disc, initiating a review of available tasks.
The Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion offered a plethora of tasks, yet opportunities suitable for Peak Grand Cultivators were notably scarce.
The pavilion housed only two Peak Grand Cultivators, resulting in an insufficient allocation of tasks for both individuals to engage with meaningfully.
Li Yuanba surveyed the listings. His formidable reputation, he mused, cast a rather overwhelming shadow, diminishing his enthusiasm for undertaking routine assignments.
The primary reason was the diminishing challenge presented by ordinary tasks; typically, upon his arrival, opponents would readily recognize his identity and abandon any pretense of resistance. This preempted any genuine combat, thus denying him crucial opportunities for practice.
Furthermore, even if he desired a confrontation, the targets designated for missions who dared to offer resistance were invariably too weak, failing to provide the necessary rigor to sharpen his skills.
Finally, his attention was drawn to a newly posted mission concerning a recently acquired resource point by the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, where Grand Cultivator resources were nearing their maturation.
Given that the Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines at this resource point were expected to mature in exceptionally large quantities this time around, numerous formidable Grand Cultivators were anticipated to vie for control. Consequently, the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion required a potent Sword Cultivator to maintain guard.
A smile touched Li Yuanba's lips. He had always been on the offensive, seizing resources; now, he relished the prospect of defending them for a change.
His authority was absolute, granting him direct acceptance of this mission.
The task stipulated an arrival ten days prior to the resource maturation. Glancing at the calendar, he realized his departure was imminent, scheduled for five days hence.
He saw no reason to delay further. Lingering idly within the pavilion offered little value; he might as well proceed directly to the Grand Cultivator resource point.
With ample time to spare, he retrieved the 'Crossing Void Shuttle' and commenced his journey toward the Grand Cultivator resource point, maintaining a leisurely pace.
After traversing a significant distance from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion's mountain gate, he brought forth the 'Thunder Sound Bell.'
Although he had spent his recent days studying various treasures, many proved too potent for preliminary testing within the vicinity of the mountain gate. He thus seized this opportunity to rigorously test a few of these artifacts.
He had not yet relinquished the five treasures to Li Shiming, at least not for the current time.
Li Shiming, while not in strict seclusion, was effectively withdrawn from the world.
Li Shiming was dedicating his days to Yin Shilan, living a life akin to celestial beings, yet he never faltered in his pursuit of profound enlightenment.
Possessing a multitude of minds, he was capable of performing numerous cognitive tasks simultaneously.
He remained steadfastly within the Dongqi Continent and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Even if these treasures were placed in his possession, he lacked the opportune circumstances to utilize them.
Conversely, Li Yuanba recognized the necessity of engaging in substantial combat over the forthcoming years to deepen his understanding and meticulously prepare for his eventual advance into the Half-step Great Power realm.
These treasures, serving as protective talismans, significantly bolstered his personal safety.
At this precise moment, he hovered above the vast expanse of the sea, as the 'Thunder Sound Bell,' under his mental command, floated gently into the sky.
His consciousness guided the 'Thunder Sound Bell' positioned above his head, causing it to emit a delicate chime, its resonant sound echoing outwards.
He unleashed the full might of the 'Thunder Sound Bell,' intending to ascertain its maximum effective attack range.
A distinct wave propagated from the 'Thunder Sound Bell.' Curiously, rather than diminishing with expansion, the sound wave exhibited a peculiar tendency to maintain, and even enhance, its power as it spread.
For a distance of a full thousand meters, the amplification persisted before the sound wave continued its spread, vanishing entirely at the ten-thousand-meter mark. It was primarily due to Li Yuanba's possession of the Divine Foot Skill, additionally aided by his Divine Sense tracking the sound wave's path, that he was able to precisely discern the 'Thunder Sound Bell's' ultimate effective range. He also marveled at how extraordinarily compatible the 'Thunder Sound Bell' was with him, exceeding even his wildest expectations. The 'Thunder Sound Bell' demands Supreme Yang Energy for its activation, and Li Yuanba, in his human form, naturally embodies the Supreme Yang Attribute. As he perceived the might of the sound wave, innumerable aquatic creature carcasses ascended from the ocean's surface. His Divine Sense detected a sea turtle's body, noting its undamaged state and absence of external injuries. The reason for the sea turtle's demise was the obliteration of its soul, which aligned with the 'Thunder Sound Bell's' modus operandi—an attack directed at the very soul. However, the genuine peril of the 'Thunder Sound Bell' was not evident in these marine lifeforms; its most formidable capability was its potential to pose a fatal danger even to the souls of Peak Great Cultivators.
