Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1436: Chapter 764: Arrival_2

Beside him, Great Venerable Hongfa stood in the posture of a guardian, accompanying him on the battlefield for five days.

This was not an easy task for a great venerable who was not skilled in combat.

With the involvement of Li Yuanba, the consumption of the Hell Island’s grand array was extremely minimal, and even among the criminal cultivators, aside from a few particularly unlucky ones who got swept by the remnants of evil energy due to unguarded moments, there were no fatalities on the battlefield.

This was simply unbelievable, but it happened right before their eyes.

“Reinforcements from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion have arrived!” With a reminder from Master Wu Ge, all the criminal cultivators erupted in excitement.

The criminal cultivators were there for redemption; although their lives were worse than death, they did not wish for actual death.

When they heard reinforcements had arrived, they knew it was time to counterattack in the battle.

Li Yuanba, upon hearing the news, couldn’t help but relax. Although he hadn’t participated much in combat, the battlefield environment required constant focus and awareness of danger.

He felt that the experiences of these few days were almost equivalent to his past two years of mission training experiences.

Having gone through such a level of a slaughter battlefield, his ‘Chaos Sword Intent’ had found a foundation for enhancement, ready to be rapidly elevated upon careful contemplation after returning.

Indeed, sword cultivators are creatures of battle; a sword cultivator without battle experience is incomplete.

“Da Leiyin Temple’s reinforcements have also arrived!” As if sensing something, Venerable Hongguang also said with a smile.

Li Yuanba remained on the battlefield. Although reinforcements had arrived, they still needed to be settled, and more reinforcements were on their way.

How these reinforcements would engage in combat needed corresponding plans, and all this required time.

During this period, the passage between Hell Cave Heaven and Hell Island must not face any mishap, and Li Yuanba’s assistance was still needed.

The sky above Hell Island became bustling, with large flying boats continuously coming in, and besides Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and Da Leiyin Temple, other major forces also arrived.

With Li Yuanba’s involvement in the defense of Hell Island, the major forces had more time to prepare adequately and agreed on a coordinated arrival time.

Otherwise, as per the original plan, the first to arrive should have been the sword cultivators of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, meant to establish the first solid line of defense.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanba alone completed this first solid defense line, giving the sword cultivators of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion more time to calmly prepare the necessary resources.

“Mr. Li, these are the corpse refining resources I notified Luanyang Palace to bring, please accept them!” A female great cultivator from Luanyang Palace flew onto the battlefield, handing a Mustard Seed Ring to Li Yuanba.

“You sure are fast, these are the corpse refining resources I asked Guiyuan Sect to bring!” Following closely, a great cultivator from Guiyuan Sect came over, first greeting the female great cultivator with a smile before also handing a Mustard Seed Ring to Li Yuanba.

Afterward, other great cultivators from various major forces stationed at Hell Island, each brought corpse refining resources to give to Li Yuanba.

Even Venerable Hongguang from Da Leiyin Temple took a Mustard Seed Ring filled with corpse refining resources from a venerable who had rushed over, handing it to Li Yuanba.

This was as they had agreed; during these few days of defense, Li Yuanba’s five mid-stage golden corpses had suffered great harm.

Although there’s Li Yuanba’s ‘Innate Wood’ divine skill for healing, anyone could see that such a level of battle inflicted damage on mid-stage golden corpses that was not merely superficial.

“Mr. Li, please put away the golden corpses, we’ll handle the defense from here!” the female great cultivator said with a smile.

Li Yuanba nodded, with a wave of his hand, he put away the five mid-stage golden corpses and Ten Thousand Sword Peak.

He inspected a few Mustard Seed Rings, which were filled with top-quality corpse refining resources, not only replenishing the consumption of mid-stage golden corpses but also enough to refine several late-stage fourth-grade golden corpses.

He smiled, although he was not lacking resources, top-quality corpse refining resources were not easy to come by.

Mainly, these types of resources predominantly come from the resource lands of major forces, and the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion to which Li Yuanba belonged is one rare force without significant resource lands.

Additionally, since almost no sword cultivators in Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion refine corpses, corpse refining resources are relatively scarce within it.

This time, having acquired high-quality corpse refining resources, he prepared to complete his collection of materials for refining the great cultivators’ corpses into refined corpse materials.

It’s a pity his realm and that of his original body, Li Shiming, were still too low; at the very least, they had to be at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak. Only with Li Shiming’s spiritual power could they truly control late-stage golden corpses.

Li Yuanba retreated to the rear, and at this time many cultivators from various major forces had rushed over to observe the passage to Hell Cave Heaven.

Li Yuanba shrank back, not drawing the attention of these cultivators.

The cultivators capable of coming to Hell Island were all Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, among them were many core cultivators from various major forces.

“I’ve heard that for guarding here, the most suitable are golden corpses; previously five mid-stage golden corpses resisted these hell creatures for five or six days straight!” a cultivator observing the passage said with a smile.

He showed no fear of hell creatures, continually pointing at the hell creatures in the passage as if a single finger could kill any one of them.

“Mr. Wu, you’ve refined eight mid-stage golden corpses; you’re in for a major benefit this time!” said another cultivator with an exaggerated expression.

With an expression of pride, the cultivator surnamed Wu, upon hearing that Li Yuanba managed to help defend Hell Island against Hell Cave Heaven’s assault with just five mid-stage golden corpses, hurried over to the battlefield.

His mid-stage golden corpses outnumbered Li Yuanba’s, and besides, what do sword cultivators of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion know about corpse refining compared to their expertise from the Beidou Sect?

The great cultivators present had peculiar expressions on their faces, not even the great cultivator from Beidou Sect bothered to explain anything to the cultivator surnamed Wu.

The cultivator surnamed Wu, with one sentence, reduced the threat of Hell Cave Heaven to something solvable merely by golden corpses, implicitly questioning the presence of these great cultivators.

The cultivator surnamed Wu did not realize he had offended a group of great cultivators, as many cultivators had come to view the battlefield and he wanted to present himself to them to enhance his own reputation.

A cultivator’s reputation is very important as many sects distribute resources based on it, especially when one’s reputation reaches a certain level, the sect may consider enlisting that cultivator into the ranks of core cultivators.

Furthermore, a cultivator’s reputation facilitates interactions with other cultivators while traveling and accessing favorable trades and other intangible benefits.

With a wave of his hand, the cultivator surnamed Wu summoned eight mid-stage golden corpses.

Each of these eight mid-stage golden corpses exuded a heavy aura, clearly well-nurtured, and all had reached a high level among mid-stage golden corpses.

This cultivator surnamed Wu indeed possessed notable skills in nurturing golden corpses.

Moreover, his luck was extraordinary, managing to cultivate eight mid-stage golden corpses. Given the not-so-high success rate of refining golden corpses, no wonder he was so proud.

With the combat power of these eight mid-stage golden corpses, ordinary Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners would find it difficult to gain any advantage.

“Charge!” He commanded the eight mid-stage golden corpses with a wave of his hand.

The eight mid-stage golden corpses rushed to the frontline, arrayed in a line advancing towards the hell creatures.

They almost completely occupied the ten-meter-wide passage, their momentum strikingly impressive.

One mid-stage golden corpse first collided with a hell creature, specifically a Hell Bull Head Spirit.

The Hell Bull Head Spirit excelled in charging and never held back; its strike was with full force.

To the wide-eyed and unbelieving gaze of the cultivator surnamed Wu, this mid-stage golden corpse was sent flying by the charge from the Hell Bull Head Spirit.

Before the mid-stage golden corpse could land, another Hell Horse Head Spirit pursued it, launching successive attacks on the defenseless mid-stage golden corpse.
