Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1787 - 940: Guardianship
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
The dominion where the Great Cultivator’s resource point was situated fell under the sphere of influence belonging to Da Leiyin Temple.
Upon Li Yuanba activating a spell via his Identity Jade Disc, directed at the Great Cultivator’s resource point, it sprang open, revealing the location that had been concealed by a Formation.
"Yuanba, I have anticipated your arrival!" Master Wu Ge exclaimed with obvious delight as he emerged from the resource point, his face beaming upon seeing Li Yuanba.
"Greetings, Brother Wu!" Li Yuanba, recognizing a familiar visage, approached with a smile and offered his salutation.
Master Wu Ge was a comrade with whom Li Yuanba had shared many battles within Hell Cave Heaven, forging a strong bond through years of combat together.
"Enter swiftly; it is a pleasure to have you here!" Master Wu Ge welcomed, ushering Li Yuanba into the resource point.
Li Yuanba took in his surroundings with curiosity, noting the pronounced Buddhist aesthetic of the resource point.
A prominent sight was the large character for "Buddha" emblazoned upon the yellow walls.
"This was taken from Da Leiyin Temple; your actions eliminated many of their Great Venerables, leaving them incapable of defending these resource points!" Master Wu Ge proudly explained.
This particular resource point was merely one of numerous locations Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had successfully claimed within a span of mere months.
In bygone eras, such blatant appropriation of resource points by Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion would have ignited a significant uproar, potentially inciting a unified reprisal from other major powers.
However, the present circumstances were markedly different. Not only were the five paramount powers of the Central State Continent preoccupied and unable to divert attention, but Li Yuanba’s ascendancy had also substantially amplified the prestige of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. Consequently, no superpower was inclined to challenge Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion under such prevailing conditions.
A Peak Great Cultivator represented the utmost strength a superpower could typically deploy, yet Li Yuanba had single-handedly vanquished four Peak Great Cultivators, alongside twenty-seven Great Cultivators operating at the verge of that level.
This demonstrated combat prowess had profoundly astonished the superpowers of the Central State Continent. As long as Li Yuanba remained a factor, the other major powers found themselves in no position to exert pressure on Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.
Given that no other superpower possessed comparable might to counter Li Yuanba, they were certainly precluded from dispatching a Great Power Avatar to intimidate him.
Li Yuanba was not Li Shiming; he had the formidable Sword Elder standing behind him.
Any Great Power that dared to harass Li Yuanba would inevitably face the Sword Elder’s intervention.
Under these unique circumstances, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had acquired numerous Great Cultivator resource points, leaving the five dominant powers with no viable recourse.
Naturally, after securing a Great Cultivator resource point, its defense necessitated the appointment of formidable Sword Cultivators by Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.
Nevertheless, the current climate fortunately ensured that no faction dared to attempt the reclamation of these occupied Great Cultivator resource points.
It was only when the Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines at these sites reached maturity that Great Cultivators, adhering to the established customs of the Cultivation World, would convene to contend for their rightful ownership.
Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion exhibited exceptional proficiency in such engagements. Among cultivators of equivalent standing, Sword Cultivators were universally recognized within the Cultivation World as the most formidable; in the months since acquiring new Great Cultivator resource points, not a single instance of a Great Cultivator Spirit Medicine being forcibly taken had occurred.
Initially, Master Wu Ge harbored concerns that, given his own capabilities, he might be unable to maintain his position if a Peak Great Cultivator were to challenge him.
Upon receiving notification that Li Yuanba had assumed the responsibility for its defense, his anxieties entirely dissipated.
Under Master Wu Ge’s guidance, Li Yuanba conducted an inspection of the Great Cultivator resource point, which had originally belonged to a Great Venerable.
This Great Cultivator resource point had been meticulously preserved by Da Leiyin Temple, resulting in an exceptionally healthy state of growth for the Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines, with nearly twenty plants on the brink of fruition.
Following his tour of the resource point, Li Yuanba was assigned accommodations within a cave dwelling situated inside its confines.
In the subsequent days, Li Yuanba would spend his time accompanying Master Wu Ge daily, engaging in tranquil tea ceremonies and profound discussions on the Dao.
Master Wu Ge generously shared all his accumulated insights regarding Sword Intent with Li Yuanba, holding nothing back.
He firmly believed that, in comparison to Li Yuanba’s caliber of strength and innate talent, his own understanding of Sword Intent was of negligible significance.
Li Yuanba listened attentively and contributed his own perspectives, and frequently, a simple observation from him would deeply resonate with Master Wu Ge.
Li Yuanba himself derived considerable benefit from these exchanges; although IBMz15 could continuously dissect and analyze the 'Chaos Sword Intent' and the 'Sword Intent Stele,' his fundamental comprehension remained somewhat underdeveloped.
The profound insights and extensive experience Master Wu Ge possessed concerning Sword Intent provided invaluable additional data for IBMz15’s analytical processes.
Unseen by the masses, numerous Great Cultivators had congregated beyond the vicinity of the Great Cultivator resource point. Yet, neither Li Yuanba nor Master Wu Ge paid them any mind; the sun had barely risen, and external Great Cultivators typically only made their move two days prior to the established deadline. "Engaging in discussions about the Dao with Yuanba is akin to ten years of arduous cultivation for me!" Master Wu Ge declared, a look of deep admiration gracing his features as he shook his head. "Brother Wu, your assistance has been more than ample; please accept this token of my sincere gratitude!" Li Yuanba responded with a genial smile, producing a jade box and presenting it to the other. When contrasted with the guidance he himself had provided to Master Wu Ge, the latter's impartations and selfless discussions proved to be an immeasurable boon to him. This was a debt of gratitude, and when combined with the longstanding camaraderie he shared with Master Wu Ge, Li Yuanba was naturally inclined to be generous. "This is Top-grade Inquiry Tea!" Master Wu Ge gasped, unable to contain his astonishment as he lifted the lid of the jade box. Top-grade Inquiry Tea is a recently adopted nomenclature within the Cultivation World, designating Fourth Grade Inquiry Tea. As it is exclusively held by Li Shizhen of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the quantity that infiltrates the outside world is exceedingly scarce. Consequently, Top-grade Inquiry Tea remains largely a mythical commodity, though this scarcity does nothing to diminish the profound reverence with which cultivators regard it.
