Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1465: 779: Wang He

Li Yuanba realized that employing his personal Lifebound Flying Sword Spirit Treasure, the Xingyi Sword, to eliminate a Great Cultivator greatly boosted the development of his ‘Chaos Sword Intent’.

The feedback from the ‘Chaos Sword Intent’ embedded in his Lifebound Flying Sword Xingyi Sword gradually wiped out the Nascent Soul inside Master Qiao.

He sensed vividly how the ‘Chaos Sword Intent’ surged wildly through Master Qiao’s body, deepening his grasp of its unique traits and guiding him toward ways to strengthen it moving forward.

Gradually, he pulled back his Lifebound Flying Sword Xingyi Sword, and with a simple motion, the Spirit Treasure ‘Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ recovered the energy-transformed flying swords that hadn’t struck Master Qiao yet.

Even though those over two thousand energy-transformed flying swords, infused with the Sword Intent of Great Cultivators, never reached Master Qiao, their looming danger had crushed his fighting spirit, making it simple for Li Yuanba’s Lifebound Flying Sword Xingyi Sword to finish him off.

Li Yuanba paused briefly, choosing not to gather Master Qiao’s remains.

Killing Master Qiao followed the cultivation world’s customs, since he had broken pacts respected by every superpower by assaulting fellow cultivators amid a shared operation in Hell Cave Heaven.

If Master Qiao had pulled off his hidden strike successfully, it would have merely sparked doubts from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion afterward, with no proof to back it up.

But now, with Master Qiao hunting Li Yuanba only to get killed in return, even the Yuqing Sect had no grounds to challenge him over it.

Still, the deep grudge between Li Yuanba and the Yuqing Sect ensured no chance for harmony, regardless of this assassination attempt on Master Qiao.

After a short reflection, Li Yuanba retracted the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’.

As he did, the Great Cultivators hovering far off came into view.

Almost every Great Cultivator from the second base had gathered, watching the unfolding drama.

Great Cultivator Lou and Grandmaster Wu kept their Lifebound Flying Swords poised for launch, as if set to pierce the sealed realm of the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’.

“Hiss!” The sight of the body sprawled on the ground made every Great Cultivator suck in a sharp breath.

These Great Cultivators knew of Li Yuanba’s feats, confirming his battle prowess matched that of a Great Cultivator, including his triumph over Master Ge Guang from Infinite Sect.

Without Sword Elder’s talks with Infinite Sect’s leaders, the superpowers of Central State Continent could have plunged into a massive conflict.

Additionally, tales circulated of Li Yuanba soloing a Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being right in Hell Cave Heaven.

However, such stories paled against the raw spectacle playing out before them.

This was none other than Yuqing Sect’s Master Qiao, a Thunder Cultivator on par with Sword Cultivators—one of the mightiest paths—and a full-fledged Great Cultivator in that elite role.

A top-tier Thunder Cultivator Great Cultivator from a dominant superpower, taken down in a direct duel by Li Yuanba.

Thanks to the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’, the onlookers hadn’t seen the clash itself, yet its very use underscored the duel’s upright and even-handed nature.

The pair from Infinite Sect felt it most keenly, staring powerless at the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’ that Li Yuanba had just reclaimed—a creation from their own sect’s experts.

Yet on issues involving Li Yuanba, Sword Elder had conferred with Infinite Sect’s authorities; openly at least, their cultivators wouldn’t show animosity toward him.

Beyond that, Li Yuanba’s shown might alone daunted those two Great Cultivators.

Out of all the Great Cultivators present, Yuqing Sect’s Master Qiao stood as one of the strongest.

A Great Cultivator from Infinite Sect noticed Li Yuanba’s aura cut off and detected the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’’s presence, swiftly alerting everyone through transmission.

While tensions existed between Li Yuanba and Infinite Sect, they wouldn’t flare up within Hell Cave Heaven, especially not during task fulfillment by Infinite Sect members.

They relied on Li Yuanba’s aid to endure the extended assignments ahead.

Witnessing how Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect fared without his support highlighted the dire results of going solo; no one wanted that fate.

So, when this Infinite Sect Great Cultivator shared the alert across communication lines, the group rushed in to check things out.

Great Cultivator Lou and Grandmaster Wu itched to shatter the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’.

Both fretted over possible harm to Li Yuanba but got talked down by the others.

A few Great Cultivators identified the barrier as the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’’s work, aware that ties between Infinite Sect and Li Yuanba were common knowledge.

This ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’ had been set by Li Yuanba himself, meaning even if Yuqing Sect’s Master Qiao approached him, Li Yuanba was ready and deliberately left an opening to lure him in.

Blindly striking at the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’’s barrier could harm Li Yuanba in the process.

In fights of this caliber, the tiniest error might swing the result entirely.

Thus, despite their burning worry, Great Cultivator Lou and Grandmaster Wu merely positioned their Lifebound Flying Swords, primed to swoop in and save Li Yuanba at a second’s notice.
