Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1488 - 790: Lou Wu_2

Naturally, the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ isn’t lacking in strength. Sword Cultivators who’ve mastered the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ have climbed to towering peaks and even achieved ascension, revealing the technique’s tremendous promise.

The flaws in the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ show up clearly as well. Lacking almost any past records of those who’ve tried cultivating the ’Heavenly Human Technique’, it stands as a brand-new cultivation method. While it offers plenty of strong points, nobody can predict the obstacles that might arise in its practice or the solutions to fix them.

Especially, the demands to start cultivating the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ are sky-high, so much so that not even a mighty power can train up someone fit to attempt the ’Heavenly Human Technique’.

Across the Cultivation World, beyond Li Shiming, no other cultivator has ever fully grasped the Divine Skills of the Five Elements across all five attributes. Just this condition alone blocks most from even approaching the door of the ’Heavenly Human Technique’.

On top of that, Li Shiming works on the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ using five Nascent Souls at once. Similar to Li Yuanba, he faces no shortages of Cultivation Spirit Pills, gulping them down without restraint at five times the rate Li Yuanba does.

Great Cultivator Lou mentioned that Li Yuanba would require a full century to push to the top of Nascent Soul Middle Stage, yet Li Shiming just needs two more decades to hit that same peak in Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

As a result, Li Yuanba doesn’t experience the excitement Great Cultivator Lou expected. That gap of eighty years could limit how long Li Yuanba manages to support Li Shiming.

Great Cultivator Lou glanced at Li Yuanba with a puzzled look, unable to grasp the reason for his downcast face.

Right then, Lou Wu’s energy flared up wildly, pulling everyone’s focus back to him.

Lou Wu pulled out the ready-made supporting Spirit Pills for his breakthrough. Among these Fourth-grade Spirit Pills, some came from Great Cultivator Lou trading contribution points at the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, while others were crafted by Li Shiming on Li Yuanba’s request.

Li Yuanba held no fears for Lou Wu’s breakthrough. When it comes to early-stage Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, Lou Wu’s skill in honing his Sword Intent clearly leads the pack.

The clash inside Hell Cave Heaven brought Lou Wu a ton of gains.

Backed by the full set of Fourth-grade supporting Spirit Pills, Lou Wu’s odds of succeeding in his advancement look extremely promising.

"Uncle Lou, don’t be nervous, trust in Lou Wu!" Li Yuanba spotted Great Cultivator Lou’s tension next to him and offered a reassuring grin.

"I wasn’t even this nervous when I advanced myself!" Great Cultivator Lou chuckled and shook his head.

"I’ve been in seclusion recently, how is the ’Space Acceptance Array’ coming along?" Li Yuanba switched subjects and inquired.

He meant the requests from various mighty powers urging the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion to share the ’Space Acceptance Array’. Naturally, no one could just seize the ’Space Acceptance Array’ from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion; it would involve swapping for valuable returns.

Earlier, Sword Elder had come to him seeking his thoughts on the matter.

After all, he had crafted the ’Space Acceptance Array’ himself, and even the Great Venerable Hongfa tasked with laying it out answered to him.

He shrugged it off mostly, letting the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion deal with it as they saw fit, without dwelling on it further.

"Only Luanyang Palace and Da Leiyin Temple have settled on it, after weighing the pros and cons, to let Great Venerable Hongfa install a ’Space Acceptance Array’ for them. Luanyang Palace shares a tight bond with our Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, and its sway is huge.

As for Da Leiyin Temple, given the ties to Great Venerable Hongfa and the pact with the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, we’ve also placed a ’Space Acceptance Array’ there.

We didn’t give away the heart of the ’Space Acceptance Array’, merely assisted in its setup!" Great Cultivator Lou shared the latest outcomes from the talks.

His thoughts had steadied by now, free from the earlier strain.

Li Yuanba grinned, knowing that beyond just placing the ’Space Acceptance Array’, forging its base holds the real key. Absent the proper knowledge, figuring out the array’s blueprint from an existing ’Space Acceptance Array’ proves a tough challenge.

Above all, the ’Space Acceptance Array’ that Great Venerable Hongfa deploys hides loads of snares plotted by IBMz15, connected in ways that one wrong move could bring the whole ’Space Acceptance Array’ crashing down.

What’s more, from what he knows, the ’Space Acceptance Array’ remains merely an early step in experimentation.

Every sect already possesses short-range transmission arrays, and the present ’Space Acceptance Array’ stretches those distances further than the short-range ones, yet it falls short of true cross-continent jumps.

His aim stays fixed on creating a genuine ’Space Transmission Array’, at which point, even if someone cracks the ’Space Acceptance Array’, it’ll seem like old news.

Lou Wu’s Sword Intent burst forth, shooting upward, paired with his aura climbing higher and higher.

The Sword Intent morphed into brilliant white light, wrapping Lou Wu entirely in a glow of sword energy.

Both Li Yuanba and Great Cultivator Lou beamed, as getting to this stage signaled Lou Wu’s breakthrough was a third done, having nailed the vital turning point.

"I’ll handle it!" Li Yuanba murmured softly, eyeing the waters nearby.

"Be cautious!" Great Cultivator Lou gave a firm nod.

Li Yuanba soared off toward the strange disturbance, as the Spirit Treasure Xingyi Sword emerged ahead of him.

Deep in the sea, a huge sea beast paused, its eyes shining yellow as they locked onto Li Yuanba.

This beast ranked at mid-stage Fourth-grade, drawn in by the ripples from Lou Wu’s aura.

Positioned amid the ocean, the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion frequently dealt with these kinds of encounters.

The waters muddle Divine Sense scans, so sea beasts lurking in the depths often slip past cultivator detection.

Only if a sea beast wanders into the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s guard zone does the pavilion move to drive it off.

The sheer number of sea beasts makes it impractical to chase them all; the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion focuses on shooing away only the dangerous ones.

This mid-stage Fourth-grade sea beast probably wasn’t from around here, since hanging so near the pavilion’s entrance, a local wouldn’t show up right now.

"Leave here!" Li Yuanba sent via Divine Sense.

The mid-stage Fourth-grade sea beast had enough smarts for straightforward Divine Sense exchange.

The sea beast stared hungrily at Lou Wu, then lashed its tail, whipping up enormous waves in the water.

The sea froze solid, laced with chilling frost energy, its force enough to spell trouble for typical mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Courting death!" Li Yuanba’s anger boiled over.

His disciple’s breakthrough unfolded close by; he refused to let this mid-stage Fourth-grade sea beast disrupt Lou Wu.

With a flick of his hand, the Spirit Treasure Xingyi Sword launched ahead.

Charged with ’Chaos Sword Intent’, the Xingyi Sword sliced through the ice barrier, speeding toward the colossal sea beast underneath.

Even with the drag from the seawater, the Xingyi Sword kept up its fierce pace.

So near the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and with no strangers around, Li Yuanba saw no need to conceal the sword’s true nature, letting loose its complete Spirit Treasure might.

Boosted by the ’Speed Rule Imprint’, the Xingyi Sword proved too swift for the lumbering mid-stage Fourth-grade sea beast to dodge.

The mid-stage sea beast took the strike, as the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ tore through its insides.

Still, thanks to its enormous bulk, the inner damage didn’t fully cripple it, leaving some fight in the beast.

Its jaws gaped open, gathering energy untouched by the blow to form a unique sonic blast.

Before the sound wave could release, Li Yuanba popped up in its vast maw, gripping a Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation to slice clean from mouth to brain.

"Almost caused trouble!" Li Yuanba confirmed the sea beast’s end, then shook his head in relief.

He hadn’t foreseen the sea beast’s focus on sonic assaults, but he caught the sign just in time and applied ’At a Fingertip’ to materialize within its mouth, stopping the sonic strike dead.

A blast like that could have thrown off Lou Wu’s breakthrough.
