Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1973: Chapter 1033: Yuan Ba

The Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had already sent back Li Yuanba, whose strength improved at a speed beyond imagination.

Firstly, like Li Shiming’s Grotto Heaven, the energy output is more than two hundred times that of an ordinary Great Power Cave Heaven.

Moreover, and most crucially, ever since Li Shiming ascended to a Great Power, he shared his insights on the rules with Li Yuanba.

This allowed Li Yuanba to elevate his mastery of the ’Sword Intent Rule’, ’Space Rule’, and ’Gold Rules’ to the Great Power level after sharing Li Shiming’s insights on these three rules.

The only thing he had to wait for was the Grotto Heaven to reach the pinnacle of Half-step Great Power.

In the fiftieth year after Li Shiming’s ascension, Li Yuanba’s Grotto Heaven also reached an energy-saturated state.

In the Grotto Heaven with a radius of ten thousand meters, Gold Element Energy filled every corner of the space.

He vaguely sensed that the opportunity for a breakthrough was right in front of him, he just needed to push it open with his hands.

He didn’t immediately break through but instead summoned the Duke of Thunder to send his news out.

The Sword Elder received Li Yuanba’s message and still found it somewhat unbelievable.

Even though Li Shiming had set a precedent, Li Yuanba stayed in the Half-step Great Power stage for much longer than Li Shiming.

But the situation cannot be compared in this way; Li Shiming’s ascension speed was not normal at all.

For a Half-step Great Power to elevate their insights into the rules to an extremely high level and accumulate enough energy for the Grotto Heaven, it would take over a thousand years.

This is assuming said Half-step Great Power has exceptional talent and encounters no bottlenecks along the way.

The majority of Half-step Great Powers get stuck in the minor bottlenecks of the Half-step Great Power stage, staying there until their lifespan runs out.

Li Yuanba hadn’t been in seclusion for long, yet he was about to ascend to a Great Power—how could the Sword Elder not be surprised.

But beyond the surprise, there was joy.

The Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion was about to see the emergence of a Free Great Power, which made the Sword Elder feel worthy of the ancestors of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

During his time guarding the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, being able to cultivate a Free Great Power meant he was worthy of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Of course, it was not yet time to be happy, since Li Yuanba was about to ascend, the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion naturally had to prepare in advance.

The mountain gate formation of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion issued a warning, and the numerous Sword Cultivators who heard this sound were all taken aback, scarcely believing the warning they heard.

This type of warning was an order for the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion to elevate to the highest level of alert, requiring all Sword Cultivators within the range of the Central State Continent to immediately return to the mountain gate.

Thankfully, there was a Space Acceptance Array, which allowed Sword Cultivators who received the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s message to activate the ’space acceptance function’ within their Identity Jade Disc, regardless of where they were or what they were doing, teleporting them back to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

The unusual actions of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion naturally attracted the attention of other super forces, especially the attention of several other super forces on the Central State Continent.

The Great Formation of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion was activated to its highest level, and at the same time, an immense and terrifying Sword Intent lay dormant, which is one of the foundations of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, left by past Sword Cultivation Great Powers.

As soon as an enemy dares to invade, these inherited Sword Intent can be unleashed in one fell swoop, enough to kill any Great Power’s true form.

This was a deliberately leaked aura by the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, warning any Cultivator with the thought of spying on the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

The Sword Cultivators moved into the Mountain Gate Formation, enhancing it to its utmost.

Even the Sword Elder himself stood in the sky above the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, with his avatar standing by his side.

All these measures were for one thing, to protect Li Yuanba through the tribulation.

It’s no wonder the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion was so tense; with the first Free Great Power in nearly thousands of years about to be born, no amount of importance could be overstated.

Not just the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, any super force experiencing the birth of a Free Great Power would fully activate their mountain gate defense to prevent any external influence on the tribulation.

Only Li Shiming, who knew nothing, went through the tribulation on his own without any precautions.

Keep in mind that the process of tribulation is extremely dangerous, and any slight carelessness or external disturbance can lead to death and the scattering of one’s soul.

Li Shiming was fearless due to ignorance, and since the Dongqi Continent was far from other super forces, he managed to avoid much trouble and successfully underwent the tribulation.

The Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion is located on the Central State Continent, where there are several neighboring super forces.

Many super forces harbor ambitions towards the Central State Continent, seeking any opportunity to target the super forces of the Central State Continent, and if given a chance, they would indeed disrupt the strengthening of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

In one part of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s Great Formation, a huge gap appeared, which was the place for Li Yuanba’s tribulation.

The Duke of Thunder brought Li Yuanba’s Pocket World Carrier Space Stone to the designated place, which was also specifically built for the Heavenly Tribulation.

The Pocket World Carrier Space Stone was placed on the ground, and the Duke of Thunder retreated to a distance, where it, along with another Duke of Thunder, the Red Demon, ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’, and Thunder Beast, kept guard.

If any danger were to arise, these Half-step Fifth Grade Spirit Pets could still provide some level of protection.

The Sword Elder looked at the group of Half-step Fifth Grade Spirit Pets and couldn’t help but shake his head.

The relationship between Li Shiming and Li Yuanba was indeed remarkable. Through the intelligence network, he went to the Beishu Continent to investigate the matters between Li Yuanba and Li Shiming, discovering that Li Yuanba and Li Shiming were friends since their days as lower-grade Cultivators.
