Chapter 764: Chapter 428 Arrival_2

Although he had previously received intelligence that a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator had emerged from the Senluo Sect, Elder Sword was nothing like the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators he had imagined.

By his judgment, in a place like the Beishu Continent, even if a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator appeared, their combat strength would not be very formidable, at most being an expert in the early stages of the Nascent Soul.

But when he faced Elder Sword, he sensed Elder Sword’s terrifying presence.

“This should not be a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator that the Beishu Continent could have cultivated!” Ancestor Ren Xun felt this the most deeply, he said, shaking his head.

He, too, had just recently been promoted to Nascent Soul Ancestor, but when facing Elder Sword, he had a clear feeling that once Elder Sword launched an attack, he would be hard-pressed to withstand it.

When he faced other Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Beishu Continent, he had the confidence to battle and possibly defeat those Nascent Soul Ancestors, based on the fact that he practiced a more advanced Cultivation Technique than the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Beishu Continent.

His Nascent Soul and Spiritual Power Pattern still couldn’t compare to those of veteran Nascent Soul Ancestors.

When he encountered fellow cultivators of the same stage who also practiced top-tier Cultivation Techniques, his advantage disappeared, and since Elder Sword also practiced a Sword Cultivation Technique, he completely suppressed him in terms of offensive power.

“It’s lucky he has just been promoted recently and lacks a solid foundation; otherwise, he really would be a big problem. Try not to face him alone!” Elder Jin Kai said, waving his hand.

Ancestor Ren Xun nodded; he also knew his own limitations.

This was also the reason why Elder Jin Kai was very upset after Elder Shi Ming had perished.

Once Elder Shi Ming had been promoted to the Nascent Soul Stage, his combat strength would have been among the top in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and with enough accumulation during the Nascent Soul Stage, he could even threaten those in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Sword Cultivators were known as the best attackers in the Cultivation World, and it was not just an empty boast; the Nascent Soul Stage was precisely when Sword Cultivators displayed their peak combat strength.

Meanwhile, Elder Sword put away his Fourth-grade Lifebound Flying Sword, a surprise flashing through his eyes.

The mid-stage Nascent Soul Elder Jin Kai, through brief contact, he judged that Jin Kai had not just entered the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul, but was a seasoned cultivator who had practiced at that level for many years.

The reason he had chosen to come to the Yongle Battlefield was that he received news from Skywalk Trading Company about the addition of a new Nascent Soul Ancestor.

He had just upgraded his Lifebound Magical Tool to the fourth grade; although he had not completely mastered it, he had at least acquired some of the combat strength of a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, and needed to refine himself faster through battle.

He did not fear battle; the fastest way to improve the “Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique” was through constant battle.

The tougher the enemies he fought, the more insights he would gain.

Of course, there was another reason; he wanted to check on his disciple, Li Yuanba, especially after hearing that Li Yuanba had slain a Sword Cultivation Great Elder, he had come to oversee Li Yuanba.

Yes, to oversee Li Yuanba; Li Yuanba was his only lineal disciple.

Elder Sword well knew how formidable a Sword Cultivation Great Elder cultivated by an intercontinental organization like Skywalk Trading Company could be. Even if Li Yuanba was incredibly powerful, defeating a Sword Cultivation Great Elder without a cost was impossible.

He had come to make sure Li Yuanba did not take any unnecessary risks.

Given Li Yuanba’s talent and qualifications, as long as he survived, he would inevitably reach the peak of the Golden Core Late Stage, become a Great Elder, and have the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage.

He did not want Li Yuanba to perish on the Yongle Battlefield because of recklessness.

“Wuwei, you and I will share a mountain peak for now, and I will move another one here for you in a few days!” Ancestor Lu pointed at his own mountain peak and arranged.

“Yes, Master!” Elder Sword bowed and complied, his gaze settling on Li Yuanba beside him.

“We won’t disturb your time with your disciple now, fellow cultivators, I have prepared some Spiritual Tea at my place, let us get together!” Ancestor Lu, knowing Elder Sword wanted to discuss something with Li Yuanba, called out to the other Nascent Soul Ancestors.

“I was just thinking of tasting your tea, so I won’t be shy!” Ancestor Zhan said with a hearty laugh.

The Nascent Soul Ancestors left together, leaving Li Yuanba and Elder Sword behind.

“Master!” Li Yuanba stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

“Not bad, you haven’t been slacking off!” Elder Sword, without any hesitation, scanned Li Yuanba’s body and nodded with a smile as he praised him.

Only a master and disciple could interact this way, even other Nascent Soul Ancestors could not probe a Golden Core cultivator like this, as Golden Core cultivators have their own secrets.

“Your Sword Intent has improved rapidly, is it because you killed that Sword Cultivation Great Elder?” he asked further.

The rate at which Li Yuanba’s Sword Intent had improved in such a short time was abnormally high, not resembling the progression of normal cultivation.

Elder Sword thought of Elder Shi Ming, who had been slain by Li Yuanba, prompting this question.

“Exactly, after slaying Elder Shi Ming, I had some insights!” Li Yuanba naturally would not mention the matter of the Sword Intent blade, as it was inexplicable; he could only respond along the lines Elder Sword had spoken.

“You were still too reckless, it is only because you have cultivated the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ and mastered the Divine Foot Skill that you were able to narrow the gap with the cultivators from the outer continents. Otherwise, even if you possessed Great Elder-level Body Refinement, fighting with a Sword Cultivation Great Elder from the outer continents would still not be enough!” Elder Sword said gravely.

Li Yuanba felt the warmth of Elder Sword’s care in his heart.

Indeed, as his master had said, if he hadn’t possessed a Corps Refining body, he might have truly fallen at the hands of Elder Shi Ming.

“Yes, Master, I indeed underestimated Elder Shi Ming. If not for some luck, I would have been the one to die!” Li Yuanba admitted his mistake with his head lowered.

“A Sword Cultivator should indeed have the courage to admit their mistakes, whether facing enemies or handling affairs. Sword Cultivators need to be simpler and more forthright, which makes the Sword Intent even sharper!” Hearing his admission, Elder Sword couldn’t help but laugh and speak.

As the master and disciple chatted, they also arrived at Ancestor Lu’s peak. Li Yuanba excused himself first, while Elder Sword attended the Nascent Soul Ancestors’ gathering.

Since Elder Sword’s arrival, Li Yuanba’s Sword Intent had improved even quicker.

The insights he gained from the Sword Intent blade, combined with the essence of Elder Sword’s teachings and the daily hour he spent contemplating the Fourth-grade Lifebound Flying Sword, significantly accelerated his Sword Intent improvement.

Elder Sword was nurturing Li Yuanba with a targeted approach.

Elder Sword already knew that he didn’t need to worry about cultivation resources for Li Yuanba.

Whatever relationship Li Yuanba had with Li Shiming, one thing was certain: Li Shiming provided Li Yuanba with a vast amount of cultivation resources.

Otherwise, Li Yuanba’s Golden Core growth wouldn’t have been so rapid, nearly reaching the theoretical fastest speed in the Cultivation World.

The so-called theoretical fastest speed means that a cultivator takes Third-grade Spirit Pills at optimal intervals for cultivation, achieving the cultivation speed that comes with a continuous supply of resources.

Even Elder Sword himself didn’t have such a provision of resources in his time.

This made Elder Sword feel helpless; since he couldn’t assist Li Yuanba with resources, he decided to provide as much help as possible with Sword Intent, fulfilling his duties as a master.

This was why he let Li Yuanba contemplate the Fourth-grade Lifebound Flying Sword for an hour each day; otherwise, Elder Sword felt that he wasn’t being as helpful as the outsider Li Shiming was to Li Yuanba.

The Yongle Battlefield was still in a tense state, with neither side’s Great Elders suffering losses, though some ordinary Golden Core cultivators had been slain.

The six major sects surmised that the Skywalk Trading Company had other motives and were deliberately cooperating with them.

The Skywalk Trading Company didn’t care about the suspicions of the six major sects; their goals were bigger than what the sects imagined. They were merely waiting to find their targets, confident that even if the sects had plans, it would be too late to act once they achieved their goal.

Both sides harbored different objectives, making the Yongle Battlefield seem like a stage, yet the real protagonists hadn’t yet performed.

Time also continued to pass in this strange atmosphere. Across various places on the Beishu Continent, some local cultivators were still diligently completing tasks for the Skywalk Trading Company using their compasses.

Both sides on the Beishu Continent and the Skywalk Trading Company were waiting, unaware of when a significant event might explode.
