Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1403: Chapter 748: Ten Years

Li Yuanba returned to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, and no one asked him about his gains.

On one hand, it was because of his identity as an Alchemy Master; on the other hand, more importantly, it was due to Sword Elder’s attention. Even if someone was curious about his gains, they wouldn’t take any action.

He stayed in the grotto every day, diligently cultivating.

Seeing a Great Mahayana Cultivator as powerful as Langcai Great Power eventually die of old age within his own Grotto Heaven impacted both him and his true body Li Shiming greatly.

He didn’t want to waste even a moment, striving to enhance his cultivation to the fullest.

He also didn’t abandon his alchemy affairs. From time to time, he would accept some alchemy commissions, which he didn’t personally undertake but sent over to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming’s ’Green Mist Treasure Cauldron’ was in need of the Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Grade Elixirs for cultivation, and Li Yuanba could obtain the sword intent infused fourth-grade flying swords he most needed in return.

Although Li Yuanba obtained two thousand energy-converted flying swords infused with Great Cultivator sword intent from Langcai Great Power’s grotto, the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ demands at least ten thousand of these energy-converted flying swords.

As long as the flying swords have sword intent, ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ can absorb and convert them, with the upper limit of the demand for sword intent flying swords being nearly endless.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, with the Central State Continent in relative peace, but the undercurrents never ceased.

Li Yuanba, sitting in the grotto, had sword intent as tangible as solid matter on him.

His ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’ significantly diminished, or rather the ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’ had become a part of his sword intent, no longer dominating it.

Now his sword intent is named ’Chaos Sword Intent’, derived from Li Shiming’s analysis and research of the Sword Intent Stele, combined with the characteristics of the ’Heavenly Human Technique’s’ chaos energy.

Of course, both Li Shiming’s and Li Yuanba’s sword intent still have a long way to go to become true ’Chaos Sword Intent’.

Presently, Li Yuanba’s ’Chaos Sword Intent’ integrates the power of various sword intents, making it more flexible and unpredictable.

At the same time, he can also transform the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ entirely into a single form of sword intent whenever he needs.

From his fingertip, a ’Chaos Sword Intent’ emanates, and with a slight mental motion, this ’Chaos Sword Intent’ transforms into ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’.

The transformed ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’ is far more potent than his previous ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’.

In his research of sword intent, he seems to have embarked on a path distinctly different from the other sword cultivators in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

If other sword cultivators pursued diversity and comprehensiveness in sword intent like him, it would surely result in mediocre combat effectiveness.

But Li Yuanba is different; in fact, ’Chaos Sword Intent’ is not his perception, but rather an achievement of the analysis and research by Li Shiming and his life-bound treasure IBMz15 over these ten years.

Li Yuanba contributed assistance, which came from the ten thousand energy-converted flying swords within ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’.

It was precisely due to the vast variety of sword intents within ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ as a reference that allowed Li Shiming and IBMz15 to achieve the current progress in their research on the Sword Intent Stele.

Normal sword cultivators, regardless of how talented, are just one brain focused on the study of a single sword intent, which is already extremely challenging.

Yet, for Li Yuanba, Li Shiming employed one hundred and fifty brains for the analysis and research of the Sword Intent Stele, coupled with the analytical and computational power of IBMz15, with each brain’s ability to perceive sword intent surpassing any extraordinarily gifted sword cultivator.

And one hundred and fifty brains are equivalent to one hundred and fifty sword cultivators with extraordinary talent, all abandoning personal thoughts to focus on one unified direction.

They didn’t need to consider the complexity of analytical research, for such time-consuming computations were rapidly handled by IBMz15.

Such a scenario is impossible in the cultivation world, and aside from Li Shiming’s case, no other cultivator could achieve this.

"What kind of existence left behind the Sword Intent Stele?" Li Yuanba murmured to himself.

As the research on the Sword Intent Stele deepened, his sword intent level advanced, and his curiosity regarding this question intensified.

Not even Sword Elder’s sword intent is but a small fraction derived from the Sword Intent Stele.

Li Yuanba shook his head; overthinking such matters is unhelpful.

He lightly tapped a finger, ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ floated above him, releasing a gravity field.

His body sank, the sword body within the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ auto-activated, resisting the gravity field.

He consumed a Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pill, immersing his mind as the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ activated, slowly increasing the spiritual power within his Nascent Soul.

This was a cultivation method he researched. Although it didn’t have the extreme cultivation environment of Li Shiming’s main body, the added gravity field allowed him to practice the cultivation technique while potentially enhancing his sword body.

Don’t underestimate the gravity field; once it has the power to suppress any Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner, he can subject his physical body to its gravitational limit.

Under this self-imposed gravity limit, the sword body automatically operates, countering the gravity pressing against him, gradually strengthening his physical body’s intensity.

In merely ten years, his physical body had significantly improved, now comparable to the physical strength of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak sword cultivator.
