Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1419: Chapter 756: Formation

As Li Yuanba approached the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, he informed his master, Jian Wuwei, of the general situation.

He believed that with Jian Wuwei’s status, he could bring the Great Venerable Hongfa back to his own grotto heaven.

Yes, he planned to take the Great Venerable Hongfa back to his grotto heaven. Although the Great Venerable Hongfa had imparted the knowledge of the spatial formation to him, ultimately, Hongfa’s research on spatial formations spanned over hundreds of years.

If the spatial acceptance array was to be set up, Li Yuanba did not want to arrange it himself; instead, the Great Venerable Hongfa would need to operate it.

Arranging a spatial acceptance array is different from an ordinary formation; the array setter needs to grasp the laws of space, or like Li Yuanba, master space divine skills.

In a sense, space divine skills are a manifestation of space laws, so mastering space divine skills similarly allows one to arrange spatial formations.

And the Great Venerable Hongfa possesses both, making him the ideal practitioner to set the array.

When Li Yuanba brought the Great Venerable Hongfa to the entrance of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, Jian Wuwei, Master Teng, and Master Lou were all waiting outside the entrance.

”This is the Great Venerable Hongfa. I am Lou Mian, this is Teng Wei, and this is Jian Wuwei, a direct descendant of the Jian Family. Welcome to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!” Master Lou nodded toward Li Yuanba first, then saluted the Great Venerable Hongfa.

Master Lou had only heard of the Great Venerable Hongfa, and this was the first time he met him.

Originally, all the great cultivators of the superpowers should have known each other, communicating among their ranks and at least having met over the long years.

But the Great Venerable Hongfa is special; he doesn’t interact with external sects, as his combat power is very weak and he’s focused on the study of spatial knowledge, making him a special talent of Da Leiyin Temple, not regarded as a Great Venerable.

”The old monk greets the two Great Venerables and the noble Jian Family bloodline. I will be imposing on you from now on!” The Great Venerable Hongfa replied with a bow, hands together.

”Great Venerable Hongfa, I have prepared a grotto heaven for you, how does that sound?” Master Lou asked tentatively.

Jian Wuwei had already informed about the relationship between Li Yuanba and the Great Venerable Hongfa. Even with Master Lou’s vast experience, it was the first time he encountered a Great Venerable level expert signing a soul recognition contract, such a stringent contract, with a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner.

He was asking to give face to the Great Venerable Hongfa, indirectly inquiring about the relationship between Hongfa and Li Yuanba.

”As a servant, I will reside in the master’s grotto heaven, ready to serve at all times!” The Great Venerable Hongfa responded bluntly and calmly, understanding Master Lou’s intent.

If there were acquaintances around, he might be a bit cautious about appearances, but outside of Da Leiyin Temple, he really didn’t know any cultivators in other places.

Moreover, he was convinced by Li Yuanba in both combat power and spatial knowledge, believing in Li Yuanba’s future. Recognition was not an unacceptable matter for him, and he could face it with composure.

In contrast, Master Lou was taken aback by Hongfa’s words, momentarily stunned on the spot.

Even after hearing about it from Jian Wuwei, he was still in a state of disbelief when he personally heard the confirmation from the Great Venerable Hongfa.

This is a Great Venerable! Li Yuanba not only completed his mission, slaying the target but also took the Great Venerable of Da Leiyin Temple, who sheltered the target, as a servant.

No matter how you looked at it, this situation was peculiar, prompting Master Lou to shift his gaze onto Li Yuanba.

”Uncle Master Lou, could you help to arrange a servant pass for Hongfa to freely access the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and the Sword Cave Heaven? As a core cultivator, I have the authority to do so, right?” Li Yuanba asked Master Lou with a slight smile.

As core cultivators, they have the right to bring several servants into their respective grotto heavens.

This authority is often used to bring their family cultivators into the core cultivator’s training environment, serving the core cultivator, and allowing them to cultivate in the exclusive grotto heaven of the core cultivator.

For many cultivators who have not yet joined a superpower, this opportunity is a chance to rise to prominence.

When a core cultivator requests servants, many cultivators not yet affiliated with any sect would apply.

However, Li Yuanba’s request to bring the Great Venerable Hongfa into the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion followed the same rules.

”I need to report to the Sword Elder!” Master Lou hesitated for a moment, not making an immediate decision, but instead spoke up.

This matter was unprecedented; though Li Yuanba currently did not have a servant, thus his servant quota could be added anytime, the prowess of the Great Venerable Hongfa was too formidable. Keeping him as a servant in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, especially permitting access to the Sword Cave Heaven, was beyond his decision-making capacity.

”Arrange it for Yuanba, don’t give the servant identity, provide a core cultivator identity!” The voice of the Sword Elder echoed around them.

The Sword Elder did not appear, but he was monitoring all areas within the pavilion. How could the arrival of a Great Venerable escape his notice?

”Yes, Sword Elder!” Master Lou bowed and responded.

The following matters were simple; Master Lou took out an Identity Jade Disc, inserted the relevant information, and handed it to the Great Venerable Hongfa.

”Yuanba, arrange for Hongfa first, and I will come to see you in one two hours!” The Sword Elder’s voice continued.
