Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1859 - 976: Invitation

Li Yuanba sat in the cave abode, and the research conducted by his true body Li Shiming and IBMz15 on achieving a half-step Great Power was not greatly helpful to Li Shiming, because Li Shiming had five Nascent Souls, a situation unprecedented in the Cultivation World.

At least in various texts, there has never been a record of this.

Thus, even though Li Shiming spent many years researching the breakthrough to a half-step Great Power using IBMz15, he still couldn’t achieve the desired result.

Li Shiming waited for the research on the ’Divine Perception Stele’ to bear fruit, or he might venture to the Divine Palace again to comprehend the ’Divine Perception Stele’.

As for Li Yuanba, relying on Li Shiming’s research results and the breakthrough inheritance of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, he recently felt an impending breakthrough.

The most crucial element was Li Shiming’s battles with Great Power Leng Luo and Great Power Luo Yuan’s avatar, which brought Li Yuanba a wealth of insights, instantly filling the battle experience he needed for the breakthrough to half-step Great Power.

During this time, Li Yuanba continuously replayed the battle videos of Li Shiming and Great Power Leng Luo, as well as Great Power Luo Yuan’s avatar through IBMz15. Underneath Li Shiming’s ’Divine Eye’, the flow direction of energy and even the use of rules were marked in the videos.

These were extremely valuable experiences, belonging to the battle experiences of the Great Power level.

As a Peak Great Cultivator, Li Yuanba gained battle insight at the Great Power level, becoming even more profound than a Peak Great Cultivator engaging in epic battles for millennia.

Li Yuanba remained in seclusion during this time, feeling increasingly that his realm had a sense of breakthrough, now just waiting for an opportunity to arise.

”Alas, it seems I still need to venture out to find opportunity!” Li Yuanba sighed deeply and spoke to himself.

After feeling a breakthrough, he began seclusion, but regrettably, he had not yet awaited the appearance of the breakthrough opportunity.

According to the experience left by the predecessors of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, such feelings require seeking chances.

Waiting in seclusion, it is difficult to say when the breakthrough opportunity will appear, and it might even not appear for hundreds of years.

Li Shiming decided to allow his avatar Li Yuanba to break through to half-step Great Power first, to gain firsthand intuitive experience.

Previously, Li Yuanba’s cultivation level couldn’t surpass Li Shiming’s in major realms, but due to Li Shiming’s fifth-grade ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ continually strengthening, Li Shiming, in a certain sense, surpassed the Peak Great Cultivator realm.

Therefore, Li Yuanba could first break through to half-step Great Power, like Li Shiming’s Spiritual Pet, Heavenly Ghost.

The success of Heavenly Ghost represents that all of Li Shiming’s spiritual pets can first achieve half-step Great Power.

But in reality, apart from Heavenly Ghost, creatures like Little Feng, Illusion Spirit Dragon, and Thunder Beast find it extremely difficult to break through to half-step fifth-grade, primarily due to the resources needed for their breakthrough, which Li Shiming currently cannot acquire.

Just when Li Yuanba was considering venturing out to seek opportunities, he received an invitation from the Phoenix Palace Master of Luanyang Palace to assist in a fight.

He hadn’t been concerned with the matters of the Cultivation World for a long time and was unaware of what transpired at Luanyang Palace.

Receiving an invitation from the Phoenix Palace Master suddenly was quite surprising for him.

He contacted the intelligence department of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, and they soon delivered relevant intelligence.

Luanyang Palace and Da Leiyin Temple had a conflict, with both parties inviting cultivators to assist in combat.

The cause of the issue was simple; a monk from Da Leiyin Temple, practicing the ’Joyful Buddha’ cultivation technique, deceived a female cultivator from Luanyang Palace.

Such matters usually require high-level negotiations between Da Leiyin Temple and Luanyang Palace to produce a solution.

However, the monk practicing the Joyful Buddha technique is the core Venerable of Da Leiyin Temple’s Yin Yang Sect, while the female cultivator is a direct descendant of an Elder from Luanyang Palace.

The high-level communications from both sides failed to achieve compromise and concession, especially after the female cultivator involved went mad due to the incident. In a rage, the Elder from Luanyang Palace crippled the involved Venerable’s cultivation.

Since then, Da Leiyin Temple and Luanyang Palace began to become adversaries.

Fortunately, both sides remained restrained, deciding to adopt the most common method in the Cultivation World to resolve the conflict.

That is to arrange a showdown, with each side presenting five cultivators, taking turns, and the losing side must apologize to the winner and bear all consequences.

Such a showdown does not only involve the cultivators from the respective sides. If capable, they may invite friends to assist.

This was the first time Li Yuanba received such an invitation, and he was very curious about this combat format.

Just in time, he could use this to find his opportunity to advance.

Add to that, last time he went on an adventure by the invitation of the Phoenix Palace Master, he gained too many benefits, and this left him owing a significant favor to the Phoenix Palace Master.

Taking advantage of this event, he can return the favor.

Since it was a formal outing, he retrieved an Upper Stage Fourth Grade Flying Boat.

The timing was just right, allowing him to adjust his mindset, and perhaps by traveling at this relatively slow pace, the scenery along the way might bring him some insights.

Actually, he overthought, as throughout this journey he relaxed his mindset, sipping Spiritual Tea while enjoying the scenery; however, it did not trigger any insights.

The destination this time was named Qianren Mountain, a very famous peak said to bear battle marks of Ancient Cultivators, and the peaks here are extremely sturdy, protected by ancient restraints, so there’s no worry that battles will damage the environment.
