Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1618: Chapter 855: Mission_2

Li Yuanba could only use the backup plan. This mirror is a display screen for an internal drone satellite connection device made using Artifact Refining techniques.

After a hundred years of research, Li Shiming achieved significant results by combining previous life technology with cultivation techniques.

Especially with the materials he could access and the improvement in his Artifact Refining skills, he is now able to simulate many functions of previous life technology through Artifact Refining.

The mirror in Li Yuanba’s hand is one such example, and also a reset and upgraded version of his previous research ’Thousand-Mile Mutual View’, though he didn’t reinstall the communication function, instead using it as a monitoring terminal.

Perhaps the new generation of drone satellites would soon replace the current one, just waiting for Li Shiming to have time to produce a new batch of drone satellites.

The research had long been completed, but Li Shiming focused on cultivation, and with the lab space occupied by Alchemy and Artifact Refining, there was no time to produce the new generation of drone satellites.

The new generation of chips is designed based on IBMz15, with a precision of 0.05 nanometers, its computing speed far surpassing that of previous life technology.

If the IBMz15 hadn’t become Li Shiming’s life-bound magical artifact, completely energy-based and free from precision and temperature limitations, the designed 0.05-nanometer precision chips could have replaced IBMz15’s 190 main chips.

Through the drone satellite system, Li Yuanba monitored the area of the Great Cultivator resource point.

From the surveillance footage, at least nine Great Cultivators had arrived there, though the good news was that no Peak Great Cultivators had shown up.

Of course, the actual number of Great Cultivators exceeded nine, as the drone satellite system couldn’t detect those hidden within the Formation protecting the Great Cultivator resource point.

With a few days left, it was uncertain how many more Great Cultivators would arrive.

Comparing with the intelligence provided by Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, the number of Great Cultivators in the report differed by only one or two, demonstrating the strong intelligence capabilities of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Li Yuanba put away the mirror, and hours later, he approached the Great Cultivator resource point.

He did not approach immediately but found a concealed spot to consume a High-level Spirit Pill to restore the Spiritual Power Pattern within his body.

Once his strength was fully restored, he then used Sword Escape to fly towards the Great Cultivator resource point.

”Another one is coming; looks like a Sword Cultivator, though I wonder which Sword Cultivator it is?” A Great Cultivator nervously asked as he observed the oncoming Sword Escape light.

”It’s not Jian Tianyi. This Sword Cultivator’s aura is weak and likely not strong!” Another Great Cultivator responded more relaxedly with a smile.

However, when Li Yuanba released his Sword Escape state and the Great Cultivators saw his face, those who recognized him gasped collectively.

Back in the Hell Cave Heaven, Li Yuanba had made a big impression, showcasing his strength to many Great Cultivators.

At that time, he was only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, but now he’s a Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator.

”So it’s Mr. Li, congratulations on your promotion to Great Cultivator. How come we haven’t heard about such a big event?” One Great Cultivator smiled, bowing slightly to greet Li Yuanba.

”Greetings, Mr. Sun, long time no see. Also, long time no see to everyone!” Li Yuanba returned the greeting with a smile.

He ignored the several Great Cultivators whose expressions soured upon seeing him and greeted them with a smile.

Being here, everyone was prepared to snatch Great Cultivator resources. Once the Formation of the Great Cultivator resource point was breached and they entered, they would all be opponents.

Regardless of Mr. Sun’s politeness, when needed, he would strike against Li Yuanba all the same.

What surprised Li Yuanba was that most of the Great Cultivators here came from various superpowers, with two from major sects.

”Mr. Sun, why are there no Great Cultivators from outside the continent?” Li Yuanba asked, sitting not far from Great Cultivator Sun.

This Great Cultivator Sun was a Great Cultivator from the Guiyuan Sect, whom he had interacted with in Hell Cave Heaven and got along with decently.

”The Great Cultivator resource point maturity period on Central State Continent is not well-known outside the continent, but I suppose by the next maturity, there will be participation from outside the continent’s Great Cultivators!” Great Cultivator Sun replied with a smile.

Li Yuanba shook his head, thinking how by then this Great Cultivator resource point’s resources, even split into several batches, would need at least a hundred years for one batch to mature.

He didn’t believe such chaotic plundering would persist for over a hundred years.

Because once the true body of Li Shiming accumulated enough Great Cultivator resources, the scale of Alchemy would decrease.

Li Shiming was essentially using all the Cultivation World’s Great Cultivator resources to nurture his true body and clone.

On the surface, all the Great Cultivators and various powers seemed to gain significantly, but the true greatest beneficiary was Li Shiming.

With one furnace of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, the alchemist could get two, and utilizing the ’Hundred One-point Pill Technique’, Li Shiming could acquire four High-level Spirit Pills.

And with abundant Alchemy, Li Shiming could entirely focus on crafting, using surplus Great Cultivator Spirit Medicine for refining higher-quality Great Cultivator Spirit Pills for himself.

In fact, it wasn’t that no Cultivators in the Cultivation World noticed Li Shiming’s intentions, though they couldn’t guess that he gained double the spirit pills. But even just the Alchemy rewards combined with the single Great Cultivator Spirit Pill withheld according to an Alchemy Master’s rule, Li Shiming’s benefits were astonishingly large.

Yet, with Li Shiming’s strength, no faction dared to challenge him.

This was achieved through his bloody track record, with the lives of two Peak Great Cultivators testifying to his power.

Li Yuanba looked toward the Infinite Sect’s Great Cultivator resource point, where the Formation had long been activated to its strongest state.

He used ’Divine Foot Skill’ to observe the Formation’s Spiritual Power Pattern lines, transmitting this data to the true body of Li Shiming, who, with IBMz15’s help, analyzed the Formation’s detailed information.

Soon, a Formation map appeared in his mind, marked by IBMz15 with the Formation’s weaknesses and various methods to breach it.

Even using one weakness, he could apply Space Movement to directly enter the resource point.

The Infinite Sect, after all, is a newly risen superpower, with somewhat lacking heritage.

The Formation of this Great Cultivator resource point had many flaws in his eyes, allowing him direct access.

He had seen many superpower resource points, and compared to those, this resource point’s Formation was at a relatively inferior level.

Of course, part of this was due to Li Shiming’s promotion to Great Cultivator, which greatly enhanced IBMz15’s computational ability, improving its Formation analysis and research capabilities, making Formation breaching much easier.

Li Yuanba stopped observing and closed his eyes to rest.

Great Cultivator Sun glanced at him, gently stood up, and moved to sit in a spot further away.

One couldn’t blame Great Cultivator Sun for relocating; being too close to Li Yuanba, he felt the Sword Intent emanating from him.

That Sword Intent disrupted his focus, with his danger alarms sounding repeatedly. If continued, he feared he might not be able to exert much power even days later without striking action.

Though Li Yuanba had stabilized his realm, he wasn’t yet fully in control of his own power.

The Sword Intent he unconsciously emitted was ’Chaos Sword Intent’, which after ascending to Great Cultivator, had grown much stronger, and influenced by the ’Sword Intent Rule Imprint’, his control had noticeably weakened.

He needed to acclimate to not just the Sword Intent but also his sword body flesh. The sword body also had ’Chaos Sword Intent’ flowing intermittently, exuding the aura of ’Chaos Sword Intent’ to the surroundings.

These were all unconscious acts and would gradually subside as his realm increased.

Great Cultivators of truly profound realms could freely retract and release their aura, yet now Li Yuanba was like an unsheathed sharp sword, continuously emitting the edge and threat of the blade.

Only after continuous honing could this edge and threat recede, becoming even more powerful and formidable.

Although the other Great Cultivators were relatively farther away, the faint ’Chaos Sword Intent’ also affected them, diminishing their interest in communication.
