Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1985: Chapter 1039: Comprehending the Dao

Time seemed to shorten for a great power, and Li Shiming’s closed cultivation flew by in thirty years.

In front of him, the ’Sword Intent Rule Rune’ at the core of the cave emitted a dazzling brilliance, while the ’Gold Element Rule Rune’ shone less brightly than the ’Sword Intent Rule Rune’.

It’s not that his understanding of the ’Gold Element Rule Rune’ is inferior to the ’Sword Intent Rule Rune’, but due to the ’Five Elements Qi Absorption Array’, his five elements are in a state of automatic balance.

Once the ’Gold Element Rule Rune’ is enhanced, it automatically balances with the other four rule runes of the five elements.

However, his insight into the other four rule runes hasn’t truly improved, so the ’Gold Element Rule Rune’ has always been in a weakened state.

This left him helpless, as he hadn’t anticipated that individually enhancing one rule rune of the five elements would result in this effect.

He shook his head helplessly, realizing that to truly improve his strength, he needed the five elements to progress simultaneously.

This was likely the consequence of his greed; had he specialized in one rule, his realm might have greatly advanced.

Nevertheless, he did not regret it, having witnessed those great powers who specialized in one rule.

It’s not that those great powers didn’t want to master more rules, but rather their talent prevented them from grasping more.

Each rule rune at Li Shiming’s cave core is extremely useful and can greatly enhance his strength.

The ’Five Elements Rule Rune’ is foundational, the bedrock of his being.

The ’Thunder Rule Rune’ and ’Sword Intent Rule Rune’ are the strongest means of attack; Sword Cultivator and Thunder Cultivator are the two strongest attack professions in the Cultivation World, and having the chance to receive these two inheritances, he would never let them pass by.

The ’Space Rule Rune’ supplements his strength, enhancing his mobility, capable of both offense and defense, making his combat methods more comprehensive.

Li Shiming waved his hand, the ’Dustless Sword’ flew out, augmented with ’Chaos Sword Intent’, now nearly indistinguishable from the sword intent on the ’Sword Intent Stele’.

He felt that his sword cultivation strength had increased at least twofold.

Additionally, though the ’Gold Element Rule Rune’ appears weakened, its actual power is nonetheless impressive.

He had confidence that with just the ’Dustless Sword’ in hand, he could instantly slay ordinary inheritor great abilities.

Thirty years of closed cultivation also allowed him to fulfill the alchemy commissions from Sword Elder, Great Power Meng Jun, Great Power Mi Bin, and the other five visiting great powers.

These great power alchemy commissions brought him a bounty of spirit pills.

Even without fifth-grade spiritual medicine as compensation from Great Power Mi Bin’s alchemy commission, the quantity of high-level fifth-grade spirit pills he obtained exceeded those of Great Power Mi Bin.

The ’Hundred One-point Pill Technique’, seemingly ordinary, in his hands was like a divine stroke, achieving miraculous effects under IBMz15’s precise calculations.

Li Shiming approached the Great Power Exclusive Communication Magic Array and sent messages to these great powers separately.

Next, he awaited these great powers to retrieve the high-level fifth-grade spirit pills, these extremely valuable pills would likely have the great powers dispatch avatars personally.

Li Shiming had just exited his retreat when, on the other side, Li Yuanba also emerged from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

This was no surprise, as both Li Yuanba and Li Shiming received the Dao rhythm inheritance from the Chongxiao Pavilion patriarch.

Although Li Yuanba only received a portion, the knowledge possessed by Li Shiming naturally shared with Li Yuanba.

If a great power entered Li Yuanba’s current cave heaven, they might be stunned.

The ’Gold Element Rule Rune’ and ’Sword Intent Rule Rune’ at the core of the cave heaven radiated brilliant light, marking the cave heaven core distinctly.

The core of the cave heaven isn’t what’s intimidating; what’s shocking are ten thousand energy-converted flying swords.

After thirty years of nurturing, these ten thousand energy-converted flying swords, enriched by the cave heaven’s gold element rule energy, had long transformed, no longer resembling their original form.

The gold element rule energy within the cave heaven was updated after accepting the Chongxiao Pavilion patriarch’s Dao rhythm inheritance, significantly surpassing his initial energy.

Such gold element rule energy, combined with the ’Sword Intent Rule Rune’, resulted in the energy-converted flying swords undergoing revolutionary changes, from the sword body to the contained sword intent.

The sword bodies of energy-converted flying swords reached fifth-grade quality, thanks to IBMz15’s material research, combined with his absolute control over the cave heaven, modifying the flying sword sword bodies into fifth-grade quality.

If further classified, the quality of energy-converted flying swords should be at the threshold of fifth-grade, the lowest within fifth-grade.

This achievement followed from receiving the Chongxiao Pavilion patriarch’s Dao rhythm inheritance, gaining deeper insight into the gold element rule, in cooperation with IBMz15’s computational power.

With ten thousand fifth-grade energy-converted flying swords, this sheer number alone would make any great power feel apprehensive.

Yet, this isn’t the full story; within each fifth-grade energy-converted flying sword lies ’Chaos Sword Intent’, infinitely approaching the sword intent within the ’Sword Intent Stele’.

Li Yuanba was certain that whether ordinary inheritor great abilities could withstand one fifth-grade energy-converted flying sword’s attack was questionable.

This is despite his cultivation time being short, preventing the creation of more fifth-grade energy-converted flying swords.

Modifying and creating energy-converted flying swords differ; creating requires more time and is more laborious.
