Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1494: Chapter 793: Power (2)

He used a large number of high-level Spirit Pills to save cultivation time, which in the eyes of other Great Cultivators was a huge waste.

But he felt it was very worthwhile, and high-level Spirit Pills—so long as he chose to practice Alchemy—there were plenty of Great Cultivators willing to commission him. Yet, time was precious.

He felt that as his cultivation progressed, the amount of time needed for cultivation increased more and more; Spirit Pills could be refined, but time could not be replaced.

He was too close to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion here; checking the direction, his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

He performed ‘teleportation in one step’; at the Great Cultivator Realm, the spiritual power inside him was enough to support the normal consumption of ‘teleportation in one step.’ As long as he wasn’t continuously activating ‘teleportation in one step’ a hundred or thousand times, his spiritual power was sufficient.

‘Divine Sight Skill’ extended his vision to eight thousand miles; although his realm had reached the Great Cultivator status, he hadn’t refined ‘Divine Sight Skill,’ thus this Divine Skill remained at the initial level without enhancement.

Time was still insufficient; even though he had 191 brains, elevating all his knowledge to the Great Cultivator level in a short time was difficult.

Especially with Divine Skills like ‘Divine Sight Skill’ and ‘Telepathy’: although his Nascent Soul contained runes of these two Divine Skills, without thoroughly studying their runes, he couldn’t elevate the power of the Divine Skill.

Studying a Divine Skill equates to researching the rules involved in the skill. Before the Great Cultivator Realm, application of Divine Skills operated without knowing the rationale, purely utilizing them.

Upon reaching the Great Cultivator Realm, since Great Cultivators possess the ability to perceive rules, they can sense the Rule Power contained within Divine Skills, thereby breaking the constraints of the skills themselves and elevating their power to a higher level.

Aside from ‘Divine Sight Skill’ and ‘Telepathy,’ ‘Divine Foot Skill’ also faced the same issue. Previously, ‘Divine Foot Skill’ was maxed out, but now his understanding of spatial rules had not progressed much, leaving ‘Divine Foot Skill’ at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage level.

However, the substantial enhancement in spiritual power and spirit transformed the once short-lived ‘teleportation in one step’ into a regular movement technique.

His figure moved eight thousand miles at a time, quickly distancing from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, arriving deep in the ocean.

A thought stirred within him, and the ‘Traceless Illusion Sword’ appeared beside him. Due to the unique nature of the ‘Traceless Illusion Sword,’ other cultivators couldn’t detect its presence except for him.

He infused his ‘Chaos Sword Intent,’ augmenting the ‘Traceless Illusion Sword’ with ‘Chaos Sword Intent.’

Within a Nascent Soul, ‘Chaotic Spiritual Power’ circulated with the ‘Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique,’ replacing the original Gold Element Spiritual Power infused into the ‘Traceless Illusion Sword.’

Even without deliberately utilizing Sword Intent Rules, the ‘Chaos Sword Intent’ still contained traces of Sword Intent Rules, greatly enhancing the power of ‘Chaos Sword Intent.’

This sensation was akin to when he grasped ‘Chaos Sword Intent’ at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, capable of easily slaying all cultivators of the same tier.

He was unsure if he could break the defense of a Great Cultivator like Wang He with a single sword strike, but he had confidence against other Great Cultivators, even if augmented with defensive magical artifacts.

He didn’t unsheathe his sword; merely assessing the potential power of the ‘Traceless Illusion Sword’ allowed him to evaluate his Sword Cultivator abilities somewhat.

To truly comprehend the actual combat power of a Sword Cultivator, engaging in battle with powerful cultivators is necessary.

‘Chaotic Spiritual Power’ had greater potency compared to the Gold Element Spiritual Power cultivated by ‘Sky Ascending Technique,’ yet it fully integrated with the technique, showcasing the most formidable aspect of the ‘Heavenly Human Technique.’

He withdrew the ‘Traceless Illusion Sword,’ replacing it with the spiritual treasure ‘Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ beside him with a wave of his hand.

The ‘Chaotic Spiritual Power’ within him transformed into Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power through the operation of the ‘Yuqing Thunder Scripture,’ and this transformation resulted in more powerful Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power compared to the original scripture.

“Thunder Fall Skill!” he called out gently.

A streak of lightning shot out from ‘Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer,’ struck the sea, countless electric flashes scattered from the impacted area, rendering a large territory into a strange luminous zone.

He observed a third-grade sea beast swimming beneath the sea, falling within the realm illuminated by dispersed electric lights.

As the electric lights devoured that area, the third-grade sea beast vanished completely, due to the overwhelming power of the electric lights obliterating the sea beast entirely.

He nodded slightly; the attack power of Thunder Cultivators was inherently strong, especially in wide-scale attacks, compensating for the sword cultivators’ attack weaknesses.

Of course, if he reclaimed ‘Ten Thousand Sword Peak,’ it would allow sword cultivation to address this weakness.

However, Li Yuanba needed ‘Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ more than he did, possessing a multitude of powerful offensive techniques. Without ‘Ten Thousand Sword Peak,’ Li Yuanba’s combat power would be significantly impaired.

Moreover, Li Shiming’s power as a Thunder Cultivator wasn’t limited to this. There’s the spiritual treasure ‘Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer,’ simply one method to enhance Thunder Cultivation attack power.

A thought stirred within him, connecting with the ‘Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ in the engine room space.

Upon entering the Great Cultivator Realm, he truly appreciated the value of the ‘Shenxiao Thunder Pearl.’

With Great Cultivator Realm strength, coupled with the potent power of ‘Heavenly Human Technique,’ he held confidence in exceeding the power of veteran Great Cultivators. Yet, connecting with ‘Shenxiao Thunder Pearl,’ he could sense its boundless interior.

Li Shiming now believed the ‘Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ was indeed the treasure of a mighty figure from the Yuqing Sect.

He didn’t take out the ‘Shenxiao Thunder Pearl.’ If there wasn’t a method left by the powerful figure of Yuqing Sect on it, he simply wouldn’t believe it.

Just like that ‘Jiguang Xunying Boat,’ which bore the mark of the White Emperor Sect’s mighty figure, making this fastest flying boat of the Cultivation World storable only within the spatial items of the engine room.

‘Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ and ‘Jiguang Xunying Boat’ had their differences; although similarly stored in the engine room space, he could utilize ‘Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ due to its distinct nature.

‘Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ required only calling upon its power to augment Thunder magic.

He once again drove the spiritual treasure ‘Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer,’ unleashing a ‘Thunder Fall Skill,’ and in the process, mobilized the ‘Shenxiao Thunder Pearl,’ which endowed the ‘Thunder Fall Skill’ with an additional burst of thunder energy.

As this ‘Thunder Fall Skill’ was cast, he perceived its uniqueness, with its power increasing several times over.

Through his avatar, Li Yuanba had witnessed Master Wang He perform ‘Thunder Fall Skill.’ If Master Wang He hadn’t concealed his combat strength during fights, then Li Shiming’s strike with ‘Thunder Fall Skill’ exceeded Wang He’s most powerful strike during combat in terms of strength.

Master Wang He was indeed a peak Thunder Cultivator, one of the strongest entities at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Unfortunately, using ‘Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ would be sensed by Thunder Cultivators from the Yuqing Sect, and a mighty figure from the Yuqing Sect continually searches for ‘Shenxiao Thunder Pearl.’

This is understandable, as ‘Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ enhances Thunder magic powers. Although the enhancement for Great Cultivator Stage Thunder magic might not be as pronounced as during the Mahayana stage, even a slight enhancement is crucial for a mighty figure.

Of course, by his judgment, whether or not ‘Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ was exposed, the Yuqing Sect would immediately seek him once he appeared.

Had he not witnessed Sword Elder incarnating into Hell Cave Heaven, executing that astounding feat of sealing the space rift, he might have feared nothing, confident enough to face Master Wang He should he seek him out.

However, after witnessing the formidable power of the Sword Elder’s avatar, he realized that mighty figures have avatars and other methods. Truly being targeted by a mighty figure would render him defenseless.
