Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1484: Chapter 788: Sword Elder (Part 2)

The second person Sword Elder mentioned was Li Yuanba, and he even called him by his name. This small detail clearly shows the close relationship between Sword Elder and Li Yuanba.

This discovery caused many Great Cultivators to gasp, as they all understood the significance behind it being cultivators of a super force.

In a super force, not even a Great Cultivator can easily gain the favor of a Great Power, who only focuses on a very few cultivators within the force.

These few cultivators become the most distinguished individuals in the force, wielding substantial power.

"Fortunately, we brought Yuan Ba. His contribution was immense, aiding not just us but other super forces as well!" Great Cultivator Lou praised Li Yuanba without reservation.

"Yuan Ba is indeed impressive!" Sword Elder smiled and nodded at Li Yuanba, acknowledging.

"Thank you for the gift, Sword Elder. Without it, my ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills wouldn’t have reached the level to assist the Great Cultivators!" Li Yuanba bowed towards Sword Elder.

"It’s deserved. I’ll get in touch with those old folks to see if we can get you more good stuff!" Sword Elder waved dismissively.

Sword Elder glanced over the cultivators from other super forces. Seeing their numbers, comparing the repeated reports sent back, it was evident how vital Li Yuanba’s role was.

Finally, he focused on the space rift and gestured to Master Wang He.

Master Wang He respectfully stepped aside, leaving the space rift to Sword Elder.

Sword Elder appeared stern; he observed the space rift, a fleeting shock in his eyes.

At his realm, shocking him wasn’t easy.

He didn’t elaborate much. His purpose here was clear—seal the space rift.

"All of you retreat a hundred Baili, Great Cultivators lead your subordinates!" He commanded in a deep voice.

Each Great Cultivator retreated with their sect members.

No cultivators questioned. This was a Great Power, possessing unimaginable strength, the pinnacle of the Cultivation World.

Even if only a clone came, it could instantly obliterate any Great Cultivator; even Master Wang He followed orders obediently.

Li Yuanba retreated a hundred Baili with the Sword Cultivators, activating his ’Divine Vision’, allowing clearer observation than other cultivators.

Of course, those with various Pupil Skills present used their abilities. Such a chance to witness a Great Power in action might be once in a lifetime.

From a distance of a hundred Baili, cultivators could still see Sword Elder’s movements.

Sword Elder arrived at the space rift, first surveying the formation on the ground.

Although protected by radiation-resistant concrete, the formation was nearing obsolescence.

Such intense contamination affected every Spiritual Object.

This is why none of the super forces could preserve ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ for long, partly due to lacking a proper application method; otherwise, even if preservation was impossible, it wouldn’t be given to Li Yuanba.

Sword Elder waved his hand, erasing the formation’s constraints, reigniting the spatial energy within the space rift.

Hell Creatures constantly tried to breach through, rushing toward the altered space rift.

Sword Elder paid no mind to these Hell Creatures, to him, there was no difference between Fourth Grade Middle Stage and Late Stage Fourth Grade Hell Creatures.

A Hell Creature breached the rift, only to be instantly shredded by a terrifying energy.

Within a hundred Baili, no human cultivators were present. Sword Elder released part of his aura, despite being within an unstable Hell Cave Heaven; he had to restrain the aura within a limit, yet still resisted by Hell Creatures.

Another Hell Creature broke through, undeterred, focusing only on advancing.

Sword Elder suddenly emitted Sword Intent, instantly pulverizing the Hell Creatures, fragments, and those just emerged.

"This Grotto Heaven is too fragile!" Sword Elder carefully adjusted the Sword Intent’s power. Earlier, upon condensing Sword Intent, he sensed it nearly ruptured Hell Cave Heaven’s space.

Indeed, the Sword Intent of a Sword Cultivation Great Power, one of the few techniques that could restrain power while ensuring immense potency.

Such contradictions mean Great Power can unleash powerful techniques effortlessly, yet they trigger various impacts.

Such as spatial disturbances or collapses, severe environmental destruction, etc.

The Sword Intent of a Sword Cultivation Great Power focuses on Intent, under Great Power’s restraint, minimarily leaking potent aura.

It’s why he could utilize such potent means in Hell Cave Heaven. If other Great Powers were here, they might destroy Hell Cave Heaven upon showcasing techniques.

Moreover, Sword Elder was invited because his Sword Intent was space-related, giving him profound spatial insights, perfect for sealing this space rift.

As Sword Elder condensed Sword Intent, Li Yuanba observed nearby at the hundred Baili mark; the ground stones weathering into fine sand, turning to dust.

This discovery made Li Yuanba’s scalp tingle, body slightly trembling, witnessing the power of a Great Power, even if it was only a tiny display of the power.

Within the hundred Baili, all materials disintegrated upon Sword Elder condensing Sword Intent, obliterated by residual Sword Intent.

Such immense power, he couldn’t imagine the full might of a Great Power.

He watched Sword Elder keenly, simultaneously recording everything on IBMz15, supplementing IBMz15’s database with firsthand knowledge on Great Powers for him and the main body Li Shiming.

A small flying sword appeared before Sword Elder, he seemed to be exerting effort.

Being merely a clone, the ability he could harness was far less than the main body.

However, exertion wasn’t from lack of force but from restraining explosive power.

Destruction is easy; exerting full force suffices. Yet, restraining power demands robust control.

The stronger the power, the harder the control.

Li Yuanba saw Sword Elder’s flying sword, not expecting Sword Elder to bring out his Lifebound Flying Sword with a clone.

However, upon reconsideration, it became clear Sword Elder never worried about issues with his Lifebound Flying Sword.

He had the Spirit Treasure Xingyi Sword himself; due to its recent formation into a spirit treasure, its Artifact Spirit hadn’t matured.

Once the Artifact Spirit matures, even without control, it can autonomously act.

This includes ultra-long-range action beyond a cultivator’s sensory scope, thousands of miles, even millions, attacking enemies independently.

Moreover, through soul connection, upon receiving return commands, it can fly back to the cultivator from millions of miles away.

These were just Li Yuanba’s speculations at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage; a Great Power’s means were beyond his full understanding, possibly possessing unknown other abilities.

Sword Elder’s spirit treasure flying sword swept over the space rift, leaving a brilliant sword light upon sweeping across.

The space rift was covered by the brilliant sword light, slowly dimming, leaving a mercury-like sheen forming a thin seal over the space rift.

Sword Elder retrieved the spirit treasure flying sword; as it was put away, the terrifying aura spread over a hundred Baili vanished instantly.

Li Yuanba watched some rocky outlines on the ground, crumbling into dust upon retrieval of the spirit treasure flying sword, swirling away.
