Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1450: Chapter 771: Harvest (Part 2)

Some ‘Hell Disgust Crystal’ was discovered, and within the Hell Cave Heaven, there is a significant amount of ‘Hell Disgust Crystal’. Within the currently controlled area, there is a small patch of exposed ‘Hell Disgust Crystal’.

Li Yuanba did not go to mine the ‘Hell Disgust Crystal’, as he did not want other cultivators to discover his special interest in it.

Besides, since obtaining the ‘Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’, his interest in ordinary ‘Hell Disgust Crystal’ has greatly diminished.

He has already attempted to purify the ‘Hell Disgust Crystal’ to a military-grade purity, which is currently impossible to achieve. Even purifying it to the level of ‘Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ using a centrifuge would probably take hundreds of years.

Furthermore, purifying it to a military-grade purity with just a centrifuge is likely impossible. It’s not a matter of time — ‘Hell Disgust Crystal’ is a fourth-grade quality spiritual object, and the purification methods from his previous life were extremely ineffective.

This is why the main body, Li Shiming, ceased working on ‘Hell Disgust Crystal’ purification — he doesn’t pursue hopeless research.

However, this does not mean giving up; this exploration of the Hell Cave Heaven is hoped to uncover better methods.

“Prepare to depart!” commanded Great Cultivator Lou.

All the sword cultivators began their battle preparations, and the five mid-stage Golden Corpses were also in peak condition, thanks to Li Yuanba’s ‘Innate Wood’ divine abilities.

Otherwise, given the combat frequency and intensity of the five mid-stage Golden Corpses, maintaining their complete bodies would be a fantasy.

Li Yuanba applied an ‘Innate Wood’ divine skill to himself, and green light flowed through his body.

He discovered that the ‘Innate Wood’ divine skill, enhanced by the Innate Jianmu Tree Heart, was able to clear most of the radiation effects.

Combined with his radiation-resistant suit, anti-radiation drugs, and the protective jade talismans crafted by a great power, in ten days, the radiation in his body not only didn’t increase but decreased.

He was even certain that as long as he left the radiation-filled environment of the Hell Cave Heaven, he could use the ‘Innate Wood’ divine skill to completely eliminate the radiation from his body.

All it would take is using the ‘Innate Wood’ divine skill a few more times.

Great Venerable Hongfa now had tasks to do; after the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion decided to share the ‘Space Acceptance Array’, Great Venerable Hongfa stayed at the ‘Space Acceptance Array’ location. Whenever a cultivator was teleported back, he needed to promptly escort them out of the array to make space.

Cultivators who have not experienced spatial teleportation generally do not have strong endurance for it, often experiencing a period of dizziness after being teleported back.

If cultivators were left in the ‘Space Acceptance Array’, it would greatly delay the teleportation time for the next cultivator.

Moreover, with Great Venerable Hongfa present, it ensured that no cultivator could damage the ‘Space Acceptance Array’ during teleportation.

Do not underestimate such scenarios; there are always hostile forces that would use spies to sabotage.

Having a great venerable guarding the ‘Space Acceptance Array’ can perfectly prevent such incidents.

Li Yuanba followed beside Great Cultivator Lou, observing the sparse Hell Creatures around, a result of ten days of battle.

In ten days, a large number of Hell Creatures were cleared, finally reducing the density of Hell Creatures in this area.

As long as no further Hell Creatures from afar are drawn in, protecting the base at the entrance of the Hell Cave Heaven wouldn’t pose much trouble in terms of safety.

He glanced at Lou Wu again; after so many days, Lou Wu also participated in the battle.

Although Lou Wu’s combat power was lacking, he constantly unleashed sword light, coordinating with the Nascent Soul Middle Stage sword cultivators in battle.

His sword light might not penetrate the defenses of the Hell Creatures, but for those whose defenses were already breached, his attacks had some effect.

His talent was quite impressive; in just these few days of battle, it was clear that his sword intent had grown to some extent.

This was combat against enemies beyond his realm. Although in a protected state, the sheer number of four-grade mid-stage Hell Creatures, regardless of the minimal benefit to him, collectively provided him with tremendous gains.

Li Yuanba released a ray of sword light, which decimated several Hell Creatures before halting.

He continuously emitted sword light, slaughtering the Hell Creatures almost arbitrarily.

His realm was quite deceptive; his combat power reached the great cultivator level, yet his realm was only Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

The sword light he released contained ‘Chaos Sword Intent’, which even a great cultivator would need to approach with caution, not to mention these four-grade mid-stage Hell Creatures.

In fact, within ten days, he reaped the greatest harvest; repeatedly unleashing ‘Chaos Sword Intent’ in battle led to new insights into the ‘Chaos Sword Intent’.

While he fought, the main body, Li Shiming, allocated several minds to analyze and study the Sword Intent Stele, using the battle insights to strengthen the foundation of ‘Chaos Sword Intent’.

The researched sword intent could be deployed in Li Yuanba’s battles, validating the analytical research results of the main body, Li Shiming.

This process of simultaneous research and practical validation led to the rapid enhancement of ‘Chaos Sword Intent’.

Previously, to execute the ‘Chaos Sword Intent’ once, he had to deliberately increase the attack power to slay several Hell Creatures in one blow.

But now, casually performed, each strike of the sword light, imbued with ‘Chaos Sword Intent’, could claim the lives of several Hell Creatures.

His outstanding performance also drew the attention of the four-grade late-stage Hell Creatures, making him a bait.

This significantly reduced the risks faced by other sword cultivators; the two sword-cultivator great cultivators only needed to focus on Li Yuanba to identify the four-grade late-stage Hell Creatures.

After many days of cooperation, the sword cultivators were already working in harmony.

Li Yuanba’s standout performance was partly intentional, and partly due to his combat power being much stronger than that of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage sword cultivators. The sword cultivators here no longer regarded him as someone of the same rank.

This time, the advance was swift; the relatively sparse Hell Creatures could no longer hinder the sword cultivators’ progress.

Sometimes, even without other sword cultivators taking action, fewer Hell Creatures were dispatched by just one of Li Yuanba’s sword lights.

However, after advancing ten miles, the density of Hell Creatures rose to a dangerous level again.

The sword cultivator troop began to slow, marking the true commencement of battle.

Judging by the current speed of clearing, solely relying on the existing cultivators would take ten years to clear the Hell Cave Heaven completely.

However, once reinforcements arrived, more cultivators would accelerate the clearing process significantly.

Additionally, the situation in the Hell Cave Heaven has been ascertained, so each superpower will send their second group of cultivators, greatly enhancing the efficiency of the clearing operation.

As Great Cultivator Lou watched the battle, his Lifebound Flying Sword suddenly shot out overhead. A Hell Creature was about to launch an attack on Li Yuanba, which Great Cultivator Lou detected in advance.

After multiple surprise attacks by the four-grade late-stage Hell Creatures, he gained experience in dealing with them, identifying and launching an attack at the moment of their aura change.

Of course, primarily, Li Yuanba served as bait; Great Cultivator Lou originally needed to watch over the entire sword cultivator troop, but due to Li Yuanba’s exceptional performance, the late-stage four-grade Hell Creatures almost always launched surprise attacks on him first.

Li Yuanba’s realm is too low, his attack power too strong, especially the damage caused by his casual strikes was many times that of the other sword cultivators.

The four-grade late-stage Hell Creature raised a hand to block Great Cultivator Lou’s attack, losing the chance to surprise Li Yuanba.

Grandmaster Wu’s attack also arrived, targeting the four-grade late-stage Hell Creature.

A battle involving two sword-cultivator great cultivators and the four-grade late-stage Hell Creature began as the two great cultivators deliberately drew the battlefield further away, a strategy developed through multiple battles.
