Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1628: Chapter 860: Restrictions_2

Thus, Li Yuanba was merely reminded by various factions, with no substantive targeted actions.

Although he lost many opportunities for battle, the fight with Great Venerable Ming Hai benefited Li Yuanba greatly. In the following years, without executing tasks, he had more time to cultivate.

This led to some improvement in his cultivation, with the amount of spiritual power within him steadily increasing.

In his spare time from cultivation, he found a way to pass time.

That was by using ’Chaos Sword Intent’ to enhance the sword intent of the fourth-grade energy-converted flying swords within the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’. This was a discovery he made unexpectedly during one of his ritual refinements of ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ after he was promoted to Great Cultivator.

The ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ had been his strongest treasure, and elevated to a spirit treasure level. Among the thousands of energy-converted flying swords inside, there were over two thousand one hundred fourth-grade energy-converted flying swords, most of which contained Great Cultivator sword intent.

During the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, the sword intent contained within over two thousand one hundred fourth-grade energy-converted flying swords was a massive help to him.

Yet after he comprehended ’Chaos Sword Intent’, especially after being promoted to Great Cultivator, the sword intent contained within those over two thousand one hundred fourth-grade energy-converted flying swords began to seem inadequate.

Compared to ’Chaos Sword Intent’, the sword intent of these Great Cultivators only had the advantage in numbers, being vastly inferior in quality.

Ordinary Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator sword intent certainly cannot enhance these Great Cultivator sword intents, because the enhancement of normal Great Cultivator sword intent requires the same kind of sword intent and a deeper understanding of that sword intent than that contained in the energy-converted flying swords.

Just like an energy-converted flying sword containing ’Void Splitting Sword Intent’ of a Great Cultivator, it must be strengthened by a Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator who has mastered a deeper level of ’Void Splitting Sword Intent’.

Others, even if they comprehend other sword intents to the extreme, cannot enhance the energy-converted flying swords containing Great Cultivator ’Void Splitting Sword Intent’.

But Li Yuanba is different; the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ he has mastered possesses the advantages of numerous sword intents merged together.

And among the powerful sword intents in the Cultivation World, most originate from the ’Sword Intent Stele’, and the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ comprehended from there can encompass a majority of strong sword intents.

However, enhancing the sword intent of fourth-grade energy-converted flying swords in the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ is a task requiring a long time.

Li Yuanba used his primary life-bound treasure IBMz15 to participate in the research, designing a program to optimize the enhancement of the sword intent within fourth-grade energy-converted flying swords based on a database of numerous ancient texts.

The reason for only enhancing the sword intent within fourth-grade energy-converted flying swords and not all energy-converted flying swords is that those below fourth-grade cannot withstand the ’Chaos Sword Intent’.

Just like Li Yuanba himself, if not for training in the sword body of ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’, he wouldn’t be able to display ’Chaos Sword Intent’ physically without using flying swords.

He infused part of the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ into ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’, which formed a mysterious ’Sword Intent Rule Imprint’, the highest level of ’Sword Intent Rule’ he could master.

A hundred fourth-grade energy-converted flying swords entered the ’Sword Intent Rule Imprint’ laid out with ’Chaos Sword Intent’, and from there, it was up to time. Almost ten days later, the sword intent within the hundred fourth-grade energy-converted flying swords could be enhanced into ’Chaos Sword Intent’.

In the foreseeable future, when the sword intent within more than two thousand fourth-grade energy-converted flying swords is entirely transformed into ’Chaos Sword Intent’, ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ will once again become his greatest trump card.

He also requested from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion to use fourth-grade flying swords containing sword intent as alchemy rewards, which for other factions isn’t easy to acquire.

However, for Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, it’s merely a waste of time for Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators.

Thus, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion issued relevant tasks, having a large stock of fourth-grade flying swords. It only required Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators to nurture the sword intent for fourth-grade flying swords.

However, to switch all energy-converted flying swords within ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ into fourth-grade energy-converted flying swords, even at the current pace, it would take at least a hundred years.

Enhancing ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ didn’t affect Li Yuanba’s cultivation; he only needed to infuse the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ into ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ to form a ’Sword Intent Rule Imprint’, and then he no longer needed to intervene.

"Huh!" One day, Li Yuanba took out the Identity Jade Disc and noticed an unexpected task while checking his assignments.

He saw a defensive task, which was surprisingly to join the defense of a Great Cultivator resource point of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Compared to other super factions, the Great Cultivator resource points of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion were relatively fewer.

Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had always adhered to the principle of robbing resources with strength, not emphasizing its own resource production.

After all, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion consisted entirely of Sword Cultivators, who would not study Spirit Plants. If there weren’t so few Great Cultivator resources that couldn’t be snatched even when attempting to rob, they would purposefully collect some Great Cultivator resource points.

It seems this time the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s Great Cultivator resource point has matured resources, thus becoming a target for the missions of various factions.

Li Yuanba extended his hand to accept the defensive task and reviewed the detailed situation of the task.

At Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s Great Cultivator resource point, a batch of Great Cultivator Spiritual Medicine would mature in five days, and due to the substantial quantity reaching nine plants, intelligence reports indicated that at least thirty Great Cultivators would participate in this competition.

"Looks like I can really fight this time!" Li Yuanba thought excitedly to himself.

Without any hesitation, time was short, and considering the possibility that those Great Cultivators might launch their attack in advance, he immediately set out after accepting the task.

Due to accepting the defensive task for the Great Cultivator resource point, his Identity Jade Disc gained permission to freely enter the Defensive Array.

At a distance of nearly five thousand miles, he activated ’Divine Eye Observance’ to inspect the situation at the Great Cultivator resource point.

After observing the details of the Formation, he activated ’One Step to Reach’, his figure disappearing from its original spot and directly appearing within the Formation of the Great Cultivator resource point.

"Who is it?" Two beams of Sword Intent targeted Li Yuanba, accompanied by a light shout.

Had the Defensive Array not signaled no external invasion, the Sword Intent targeting him would have transformed into two flying sword attacks.

Li Yuanba felt a sense of extreme danger, his hair standing on end, nearly summoning his late-stage Golden Corpse and retrieving ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ to prepare for combat.

Because one of the Sword Intents locking onto him was actually that of a Peak Great Cultivator, the terrifying Peak Great Cultivator ’Void Splitting Sword Intent’ posed a fatal threat to him.

"I must never play this way again!" Li Yuanba warned himself internally, vowing not to use ’One Step to Reach’ to enter unknown Formations ever again.

If he were accidentally cut down by his own Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator, it would truly be an unjust death.

"Senior Brother Jian, why are you here?" Li Yuanba, seeing the Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator with Peak Great Cultivator ’Void Splitting Sword Intent’ targeting him was indeed Jian Tianyi, asked in shock.

Had he known this Peak Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator was here, he wouldn’t have needed to come, especially as none of the thirty Great Cultivators participating were at the peak stage, and in such a restricted battlefield, Jian Tianyi, the Peak Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator, had absolute dominion.

"Junior Li, why have you come as well?" Jian Tianyi Great Cultivator also exclaimed with a face of surprise.

In today’s Cultivation World, all factions have already considered Li Yuanba as having the battle strength of a Peak Great Cultivator.

To defend a single Great Cultivator resource point, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion dispatched two Peak Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators—truly a case of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

However, as they both had already accepted the task, no one could be chased away.

Exchanging glances, Jian Tianyi Great Cultivator and Li Yuanba couldn’t help but laugh.
