Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1695: Chapter 894: Leaving Seclusion

"Yuan Ba, your strength has improved significantly during these years of retreat!" Jian Wuwei looked at his disciple, whose strength surpassed his, with pride in his heart.

In Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, the presence of Li Yuanba ensures his Jian Family bloodline holds an extremely solid status.

Upon knowing Li Yuanba had come out of seclusion, he rushed over immediately.

"Master, your sword intent has grown deeper, it seems you’re more attuned to the ’Void-Breaking Sword Intent’!" Li Yuanba replied with a smile.

"My progression in sword intent is far behind yours; I can’t even understand your sword intent!" Jian Wuwei shook his head in response.

This notion made him extremely frustrated.

As the direct descendant of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s Jian Family lineage, he should have talent far surpassing other sword cultivators in the path of sword intent.

This was indeed reflected in him, but it all depends on the comparison.

When compared to Li Yuanba, it’s apparent that Jian Wuwei’s talent in sword intent falls short.

"I can’t pass on my sword intent at the moment. At least my cultivation needs to improve a bit more before there’s hope to teach sword intent!" Li Yuanba shook his head and said.

It’s not that he didn’t want to pass the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ to Jian Wuwei, the issue is that the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ is too advanced, and with his current status, the conditions for inheritance aren’t met.

In his judgment, even if he reached the conditions suitable for inheriting the ’Chaos Sword Intent’, the chances of Jian Wuwei mastering it are minimal.

The Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion has such inheritance, the ’Sword Intent Stele’, and viewing the ’Sword Intent Stele’ isn’t difficult given Jian Wuwei’s status.

Yet, over the years at Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, no sword cultivator has obtained the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ from the ’Sword Intent Stele’, because no sword cultivator possesses the capability of his original body.

Li Shiming possesses the personal treasure IBMz15, which uses its computing power to convert the ’Sword Intent Stele’ into a data-recorded form, allowing Li Shiming deep and prolonged study of it.

This is how the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ was born, even so, it remains incomplete, requiring IBMz15’s continuous data analysis of the ’Sword Intent Stele’.

"Let’s not talk about sword intent. During your retreat, I declined many alchemy commissions for you. Now that you’re out, are you going to start alchemy?" Jian Wuwei changed topics waving his hand.

"Wait a little longer, I have some issues to attend to!" Li Yuanba pondered for a moment and said.

"It’s good to hear, your friend Li Shizhen’s in trouble, I heard Great Power Luo from Yuqing Sect personally intervened!" Jian Wuwei glanced around cautiously, even in his own cave abode, knowing their conversation couldn’t be eavesdropped but showed caution due to matters involving a Great Power.

He knew Li Yuanba was friends with Li Shiming, and during Li Shiming’s troubles, Li Yuanba was in retreat, he refrained from disturbing Li Yuanba’s seclusion.

Now that Li Yuanba was out, it was a matter concerning his friend, and he needed to inform him.

"Is Li Shizhen alright?" Li Yuanba knew all details, more than Jian Wuwei did, but feigned surprise and concern.

"Great Power Luo sure lost face this time, I heard Sword Elder speak of the matter with mockery and ridicule, a Great Power acted but couldn’t capture Li Shizhen!" Jian Wuwei answered with a laugh.

Great Power Luo Yuan dispatched an avatar to Dongqi Continent, while ordinary cultivators might be unaware, how could it escape the knowledge of all Great Powers of the same realm?

There’s no need for guesses as to Great Power Luo Yuan’s avatar’s intentions in Dongqi Continent, Li Shiming’s enmity with Yuqing Sect was hardly a secret.

But his failure to capture Li Shiming surprised all the Great Powers.

Only Great Powers could comprehend the terror of Great Powers; a Thunder Cultivation Great Power’s strength, even through an avatar, couldn’t be matched by a Great Cultivator.

Even if a Great Power Avatar stood before a Peak Great Cultivator, it suffices to cease the resistance of said Peak Great Cultivator; they need not lift a hand to control the Peak Great Cultivator’s life and death.

As to knowing Great Power Luo Yuan’s avatar failed, that goes without saying, Li Shiming’s ’Phantom Clone’ is still in Luanyang Palace with his Daoist couple.

But after this matter, no cultivator could locate Li Shiming’s original body.

This is but a snippet of knowledge some cultivators have about the capture attempt by Great Power Luo Yuan, otherwise, many Great Cultivators would harbor hatred toward Great Power Luo Yuan and Yuqing Sect.

Li Shiming’s disappearance caused the habitual users of High-level Spirit Pill among Great Cultivators to halt their supply.

After experiencing the efficacy of High-level Spirit Pills, reverting to prior Middle or Intermediate Spirit Pill effects would drive Great Cultivators mad.

Luckily, Li Shiming’s ’Phantom Clone’ persists, all Great Cultivators know Li Shiming is fine, simply waiting for his reappearance.

"How long would Great Power Luo take to recover after acting?" Li Yuanba curiously asked.

This query may be unanswered by other cultivators, but Jian Wuwei, being the direct descendant of the Jian Family lineage, knew secrets unknown to outsiders.

"Great Power Luo’s avatar crossed the ocean, although the extent of their means in combat is unknown, the estimated exhaustion would take no less than a century to recover!" Jian Wuwei gave a definitive answer.
