Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1627: Chapter 860: Restrictions

Li Yuanba once again completed the task, bringing back several Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines.

This time, he was in a great mood, not because of completing the task, but because a battle with the Great Venerable Ming Hai finally allowed him to realize his long-desired evenly matched fight.

His strengths and weaknesses were very apparent; his powerful attack and extremely rapid attack speed always allowed him to strike before the enemy in battle.

His Divine Foot Skill allowed him to timely withdraw from the fight during danger.

The entire battle was under rhythms favorable to him, and the Great Venerable Ming Hai’s combat prowess didn’t truly manifest.

His weakness lay in his defense; he lacked the confidence to withstand any strike from the Great Venerable Ming Hai.

However, this is characteristic of a Sword Cultivator, using extreme attacking power to compensate for inadequate defensive power, and being a Sword Cultivator is like this.

After returning the task, he rested for a period.

Afterward, every month or two, he would venture out to execute a task.

The Central State Continent has plenty of Great Cultivator resources, from large forces to top-tier forces. Normally, this is not visible, but under such chaos, most Great Cultivator resource points have become targets for Great Cultivator competition.

In subsequent tasks, as long as he appeared, he carried the deterrence akin to a Peak Great Cultivator.

A year after, one day, his master Jian Wuwei approached Li Yuanba.

”Master, please sit, I’ve prepared Spiritual Tea for you!” Li Yuanba welcomed Jian Wuwei into the hall of the cavern abode, saying with a smile.

”No need to bother, I’ve come for some matters!” Jian Wuwei waved his hand, signaling Li Yuanba to sit down.

Li Yuanba looked at Jian Wuwei’s demeanor, realizing this was serious business, he sat opposite Jian Wuwei, gazing at Jian Wuwei with a puzzled look, waiting for Jian Wuwei’s following words.

”Yuan Ba, from now on, don’t take on ordinary Great Cultivator tasks!” Jian Wuwei hesitated and spoke.

”Why?” Li Yuanba asked in shock.

Being a Sword Cultivator, combat is an essential aspect of his advancement.

Even though during these competitive Great Cultivator resource tasks, his chances to make a move were becoming fewer, there still were opportunities.

Without venturing out for tasks, casually wandering in the Cultivation World, with his identity as a Sword Cultivator, in ten years he might not find the chance to battle an equal opponent.

The current situation allows for many Great Cultivators to be active, once the demand for Great Cultivator resources is no longer so urgent, and the Cultivation World returns to calm, finding frequent opportunities for same-level battles will be difficult.

”The cabinet has received many messages from superpowers and large forces, all concerning your strength. With your power to partake in ordinary Great Cultivator competitions seems a bit excessive!” Jian Wuwei shook his head helplessly and said.

Li Yuanba’s task execution frequency was somewhat frequent, and all tasks were on the Central State Continent.

This made the publicly available mature Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines on the Central State Continent almost monopolized by him in the past year.

His such actions severely affected the profits of other forces, making the competition seem extremely unfair.

”But I just entered the Great Cultivator Realm, moreover, the Great Venerable Ming Hai, as a Peak Venerable, didn’t they also join these tasks?” Li Yuanba said discontentedly.

His dissatisfaction was not directed towards Master Jian Wuwei, but rather at those forces; why could Ming Hai Great Venerable partake, but he couldn’t?

”The Great Venerable Ming Hai, and any Peak Great Cultivator, would only occasionally participate in ordinary Great Cultivator tasks, and your power is already not deemed as newly entered Great Cultivator Realm, but rather publicly recognized as Peak Great Cultivator strength!” Jian Wuwei explained with some sentiment.

He was proud, Disciple Li Yuanba, with his new entry into the Great Cultivator Realm, yet due to excessive strength, many forces demanded Li Yuanba be treated as equivalent to Peak Great Cultivator, which although is a restriction, also represents the Cultivation World’s recognition of Li Yuanba’s strength.

”Alright, I’ll reduce the frequency of taking tasks!” Li Yuanba suppressed his discontent, speaking in a deep voice.

”Actually, this is a good thing. Although ordinary Great Cultivator tasks are restricted, you now possess the qualification to partake in top-tier Great Cultivator tasks; those tasks suit you best for seeking combat with opponents!” Jian Wuwei understood his sentiments, and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanba’s mood improved significantly.

”When will such top-tier Great Cultivator tasks appear?” he asked with interest.

”Generally, there’s one every two or three years. The cabinet will inform you beforehand!” Jian Wuwei had already understood the situation, responding promptly.

In the following months, Li Yuanba didn’t partake in the ordinary Great Cultivator competitive tasks; this allowed all the forces to breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Yuanba’s displayed strength made some forces intensify their focus on him.

However, wanting to deal with someone akin to Peak Great Cultivator, any force must think carefully.

He wasn’t just any backgroundless Great Cultivator, amongst the esteemed, it was known he had Sword Elder behind him.

Sword Elder had stood up for him before, thwarting the superpowers’ attempt to use inappropriate methods.

This is the advantage of being under a superpower, possessing a strong background.

To deal with Li Yuanba, it’s possible, but must stay within a certain strength range, cannot employ strength exceeding the rules.

Whoever dares to use strength exceeding the rules would be akin to slapping Sword Elder’s face.

In the Cultivation World, who dares to disrespect Sword Elder, a Great Sword Cultivator’s face isn’t easily humiliated.
