Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 2116 - 1104: Advancement Again (Part 2)

”All cultivators in the Grotto Heaven, retreat immediately, the Grotto Heaven is closing!” His voice reverberated through every corner of the Grotto Heaven.

Outside, Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin and the other two Great Immortal Envoys had just told the other great powers to return, when they saw a swarm of cultivators flying out from the southern main peak, and then Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu appeared beside Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin.

”Li Yuanba didn’t come out?” One of the Great Immortal Envoys asked deeply.

His tone carried dissatisfaction; Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu personally went to invite him, and with three Great Immortal Envoys waiting here, Li Yuanba still did not come along.

”Yuan Ba is promoting, let’s discuss everything after his promotion!” Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu couldn’t conceal the excitement on his face, trying hard to maintain a calm demeanor as he replied.

The three Great Immortal Envoys present were stunned, and Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin was in disbelief, so he made use of his authority over the Grotto Heaven to sense, confirming it was indeed true.

”How is this possible?” The Great Immortal Envoy who had just spoken wore a ghostly expression.

Is the luck of the southern faction really this good?

See how shortly after Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu’s promotion, Li Shiming followed suit and promoted as well.

Although Li Shiming is not a core member of the Immortal Alliance, he is a friend of the southern faction and was promoted in the southern faction’s Inheritance Cave Heaven.

Li Shiming just promoted and left, and now Li Yuanba is about to promote.

Promoting to a Great Immortal Envoy is no trivial matter; it’s not something that happens one after another.

The realm of Great Immortal Envoy represents the pinnacle combat power of human cultivators in this world.

You could say all the geniuses in the Cultivation World are gathered in the Land of Fallen Immortals, yet over thousands of years, only a few Great Immortal Envoys have emerged.

”Although Feng Kui has fallen, Li Yuanba’s promotion can perfectly fill the combat power gap left by Feng Kui!” Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin thought for a moment and said.

He didn’t say it explicitly, but the several Great Immortal Envoys present understood his meaning.

”I disagree, Yuan Ba is a member of the southern faction; how can we let him go to the eastern faction!” Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu shook his head in opposition.

The other two Great Immortal Envoys exchanged a glance, shared their thoughts, and quickly reached a consensus.

”After Li Yuanba promotes to a Great Immortal Envoy, let him lead the eastern faction; this proposal is excellent!”

”I agree!”

The two Great Immortal Envoys stated their opinions respectively.

If Li Yuanba stays in the southern faction, then even if Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin ascends, the southern faction still has two Great Immortal Envoys, plus Li Shiming, a friend of Li Yuanba’s, allowing the southern faction to mobilize the combat power of three Great Immortal Envoys.

But if Li Yuanba is assigned to the eastern faction, it’s completely different; Li Yuanba would become the manager of the eastern faction.

Perhaps Li Yuanba and Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu are fellow sect members and have a very close relationship, but managing a large amount of resources in the eastern faction and gaining immense power can create a certain estrangement even between fellow sect members.

As long as the two Great Immortal Envoys make some effort, they can easily return the Immortal Alliance to a four-way power balance.

The matter of Li Yuanba’s promotion proceeded naturally.

After Li Shiming was promoted to Great Immortal Envoy, he shared his insights on ’Gold Rules’, ’Sword Intent Rule’, and ’Space Rule’ with Li Yuanba. These Great Immortal Envoy-level insights loosened his bottleneck, allowing him to sense the opportunity for promotion.

Li Yuanba returned to the stone chamber to begin cultivating with top-level fifth-grade Spirit Pills.

Since the top-level fifth-grade Spirit Pill contains no impurities, there’s no need to worry about leftover medicinal power after consumption. He quickly consumed fifteen top-level fifth-grade Spirit Pills, enhancing his physique beyond the late-stage peak level, reaching a new level.

Subsequently, he digested the medicinal power of the top-level fifth-grade Spirit Pills while preparing for promotion.

Even though Li Shiming was previously fighting Great Immortal Envoy Feng Kui, it did not affect Li Yuanba’s promotion preparations.

After Li Shiming slew Great Immortal Envoy Feng Kui, Li Yuanba began his formal promotion.

Elsewhere, Li Taibai used Space Movement to find Li Shiming.

Then Li Taibai began his promotion beside Li Shiming as well, benefiting from the same rule insights shared by Li Shiming as Li Yuanba.

Li Taibai shared Great Immortal Envoy-level insights into the ’Thunder Rules’ and ’Space Rules’, making his promotion process exceedingly smooth.

Li Shiming was quite reassured, as Li Yuanba was within the Immortal Alliance, protected by Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu, leaving no need for worry.

And as for Li Taibai, there was even less to say. Although he was at the border of the Immortal Domain, with Li Shiming there, even if the Six-Winged Archangel from the Divine Domain came personally, Li Shiming could still protect Li Taibai.

There are Six-Winged Archangels not only in the Divine Domain. If needed, he could summon the Six-Winged Archangel Jin Sheng to battle at any time.

Li Yuanba and Li Taibai’s promotion process didn’t take long, compared to those who might spend hundreds or thousands of years in seclusion for promotion, the two only took one day to successfully achieve Great Immortal Envoy status.

Of course, Li Yuanba’s status as a Great Immortal Envoy was recognized by the Immortal Alliance, while Li Taibai’s was merely a title, not actively acknowledged by the Alliance.

Li Taibai’s promotion was quiet and unnoticed, with Li Shiming the sole witness.

At the boundary between the Immortal Domain and Divine Domain, neither side had perfect surveillance, so even though Li Taibai’s promotion was noticeable, it didn’t draw any attention.

Li Yuanba’s promotion, on the other hand, was watched by four Great Immortal Envoys outside, with the entire Immortal Alliance waiting.

The fall of Great Immortal Envoy Feng Kui had initially scattered the morale of the Immortal Alliance. The fact that even a Great Immortal Envoy could fall was a huge blow to the morale of powers far inferior to Great Immortal Envoys.

But the news of Li Yuanba’s promotion to Great Immortal Envoy quickly followed, which instantly excited the previously downcast great powers.

Li Yuanba successfully promoted, feeling his newfound power.

The ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ trained his sword body to the extreme; his physical body was now a top-notch Lifebound Spiritual Treasure flying sword.

This not only enhanced the defensive power of his body, but also made his body exceptionally sharp.

He shook his head, thinking that he might no longer need to use the ’Purple Cloud Sword’ in future battles, as the power of his physical body was no less than that of the ’Purple Cloud Sword’.

Of course, the ’Purple Cloud Sword’ could attack from a distance, but for a Great Immortal Envoy to launch a full-scale attack, it’s not as simple as using a flying sword attack. Instead, it involves manifesting the Cave Heaven World externally to attack the enemy.

As for fighting enemies of lower realms, there’s even less need to use the ’Purple Cloud Sword’. His spiritual suppression alone could render lower realm cultivators immobile or even directly obliterate their souls.

No wonder Great Immortal Envoy Feng Kui didn’t have a Lifebound Spiritual Treasure; perhaps this was the reason.

Li Yuanba’s power increased so rapidly that he felt as if he hadn’t used the ’Purple Cloud Sword’ for many years before it was rendered obsolete.

Feeling the closer connection with his Grotto Heaven, more importantly, ten thousand Energy-converted Flying Swords were passively evolved as his Grotto Heaven advanced to the Great Immortal Envoy realm.

The gold element energy within the Grotto Heaven was entirely infused into the ten thousand Energy-converted Flying Swords, and this gold element energy was of the Great Immortal Envoy level.

Directly, the ten thousand Energy-converted Flying Swords evolved into top-level Spiritual Treasures, each accommodating more energy and Sword Intent.

This transformation of Energy-converted Flying Swords exceeded the initial computation of IBMz15, becoming an unknown evolution.

Who would have thought that during Li Yuanba’s promotion to Great Immortal Envoy, ten thousand Energy-converted Flying Swords would undergo such a transformation.

But this transformation was inevitable as well, as the ten thousand Energy-converted Flying Swords were part of the Grotto Heaven and its main attack means.

This is similar to Great Immortal Envoy Feng Kui converting fire energy into flame creatures, making them the main attack force of his Grotto Heaven.

The primary evolving energy of Li Yuanba’s Grotto Heaven was all invested into the ten thousand Energy-converted Flying Swords.

Whether he wanted it or not, the ten thousand Energy-converted Flying Swords would be his main means of manifesting his Grotto Heaven’s attack externally.
