Chapter 569: Infant Severing (Part 2)
However, the Gold Corpse Black Shield specializes in speed, and Ancestor Song approached swiftly, never expecting the enemy to be at the Nascent Soul Stage.
As soon as he sensed the Gold Corpse's aura, the Gold Corpse Black Shield was already in front of him, wielding the "Illusion Resentment Demon Sword" towards him.
This speed was too fast, so fast that he didn't even have time to react; he only saw a dark gleam, and the protective spiritual power on his body was automatically triggered to block the attack of the "Illusion Resentment Demon Sword."
Why is the "False Resentment Netherworld Technique" considered forbidden by the Sun Concealing Sect? If not for its severe side effects, the power of this technique is unmatched by most others.
A regular strike of the "False Resentment Netherworld Technique" can rival a cultivator's Nascent Soul Dharma Form strike.
Not to mention, the Illusion Resentment Demon Sword in the Gold Corpse Black Shield's hand enhances the power of the "False Resentment Netherworld Technique."
Ancestor Song only felt his body lighten, as half of his body detached from the main body.
This terrified him to the core; at this point, he no longer considered the pursuit of the traitor, perhaps this really wasn't Zhang Tieshan's cave, and they had provoked a terrifying being.
In his Nascent Soul's hand appeared a Jade Talisman, obtained due to the decent income of the Artifact Refining sects.
The Nascent Soul activated the Jade Talisman; because the Gold Corpse Black Shield's speed was too fast, the Nascent Soul dared not make any extra movements and activated the Jade Talisman within the body.
The Nascent Soul transformed into a stream of light, flying out from within, shooting off into the distance.
"What a pity!" Li Yuanba, possessing the "Divine Eye Skill," clearly saw Ancestor Song's actions and sighed softly.
If his realm were at the Nascent Soul Stage, Ancestor Song's Nascent Soul wouldn't have been able to escape, even using such life-saving means like the Jade Talisman wouldn't make a difference.
The Gold Corpse Black Shield is not truly a cultivator, and with Ancestor Song's decisiveness, using the Jade Talisman in a crisis prevented the Gold Corpse Black Shield from quickly slaying Ancestor Song's Nascent Soul.
Li Yuanba's Divine Foot Skill could catch up, but he lacked the combat prowess of a Nascent Soul and knew chasing would only mean death.
Given his current stage, approaching Ancestor Song's Nascent Soul would subject him to its oppressive aura.
He shook his head and began collecting this time's gains; the space rings of four late-stage Golden Core cultivators lay on the ground, needing him to retrieve them.
Ancestor Song's Nascent Soul managed to escape, so all he could take was his life-bound magical treasure, usually nurtured with the Nascent Soul. Even when the Nascent Soul flees, it can transform into energy and be collected into the Nascent Soul, not affecting the Nascent Soul's escape speed.
Therefore, Ancestor Song's other belongings remained on his body, yes, Ancestor Song's body had been sliced in two, and without taking a life-saving spirit pill in time, his body had already died.
Li Yuanba took up Ancestor Song's Mustard Seed Ring and unleashed the "Six Yang Spirit Fire" to burn Ancestor Song's body to ashes.
This displayed the formidable power of the "Six Yang Spirit Fire"; no matter how destroyed Ancestor Song's body was, it was still the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet when Li Yuanba infused spiritual power into the "Six Yang Spirit Fire" to increase its strength, the body was effortlessly reduced to ashes.
No wonder the Hundred Refinement Sect deployed even Nascent Soul cultivators to hunt down the traitor Zhang Tieshan. It's likely not for Zhang Tieshan but rather for the "Six Yang Spirit Fire."
He didn't linger any longer, recalled the Gold Corpse Black Shield, and turned to leave.
The space rings of the four late-stage Golden Core cultivators mostly contained third-grade refining materials and some third-grade magical treasures, but nothing that caught Li Yuanba's eye.
Most likely, Zhang Tieshan defected and deliberately collected the cultivation techniques and treasures of the Hundred Refinement Sect, which is why he gained some harvest.
And these late-stage Golden Core cultivators were out on a mission, even if they had good things, they would leave them in the sect's caves.
They were not Loose Cultivators who carry all important items with them.
Li Yuanba was not disappointed; he had anticipated this.
He then took out the Mustard Seed Ring. Ancestor Song was a Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner, and based on the experience of Li Shiming's main body, the chances of finding good items in a Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner's Mustard Seed Ring weren't high.
But Ancestor Song was a Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner of the Hundred Refinement Sect; his net worth was likely quite substantial.
Though an Artifact Refiner is not as valued as an Alchemist, it is still an extremely popular profession, with very considerable income so long as the skill is sufficient.
His Divine Thought entered the Mustard Seed Ring, immediately noticing that it was significantly better than his own, with more space and higher quality.
Inside the Mustard Seed Ring were dozens of kinds of fourth-grade refining materials, each ranging from one to ten portions; at first glance, he thought a sect's warehouse had been looted.
The value of just the fourth-grade refining materials meant he had gained immensely.
However, he was slightly disappointed that among these fourth-grade refining materials, there was only one portion of fourth-grade upper stage material, the rest being fourth-grade lower and mid-grade materials.
According to the vision shared from the main body, Li Shiming, only fourth-grade upper stage and above refining materials could catch his interest.
Still, this heap of fourth-grade refining materials could at least serve for practice after he advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage; perhaps this identity of his could become an Artifact Refiner.
Next to the refining materials were thirteen pieces of fourth-grade magical treasures, of which seven were fourth-grade flying swords.
None of these fourth-grade flying sword magical treasures piqued his interest primarily due to the low grade, mostly fourth-grade lower stage and mid-grade; even the two fourth-grade upper stage flying sword magical treasures did not appeal to him.
Without hesitation, he tossed all seven fourth-grade flying swords into the "Ten Thousand Sword Peak" to become resources for it.
He had tested the power of the "Ten Thousand Sword Peak" today; by continually investing in it, he could unleash the attack of a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator with his Golden Core Cultivator realm.
Of course, the premise is to provide him with sufficient flying sword magical treasures, especially fourth-grade flying sword magical treasures.
Actually, most of the flying sword magical treasures captured outside could only serve as nourishment for the "Ten Thousand Sword Peak," as the number of sword cultivators was too few, and even fewer were those he could encounter and defeat as enemies.
Only flying sword magical treasures that contain sword intent from sword cultivators could become the swords of "Ten Thousand Sword Peak."
So the road to upgrading the "Ten Thousand Sword Peak" to an invincible Nascent Soul stage is long and arduous.
Suddenly, Li Yuanba looked at the heap of fourth-grade refining materials; if he were to give this entire heap to the main body, Li Shiming, to refine into fourth-grade flying sword magical treasures and nurture them for a while, wouldn't it be possible to increase the number of fourth-grade flying swords for the "Ten Thousand Sword Peak"?
Once this idea emerged, he was eager to try it.
Even without this heap of fourth-grade refining materials, such ordinary materials can be requested from Li Shiming's main body, either to be crafted into fourth-grade flying sword magical treasures or received in exchange for fourth-grade refining materials.
Also, asking Li Shiming to nurture the flying sword magical treasures is no difficult matter.
Unlike "Traceless Illusion Sword," it wouldn't consume years of time to refine them, just to craft ordinary fourth-grade flying sword magical treasures with Li Shiming's one hundred and ninety-one brains.
Theoretically, he can nurture one hundred and ninety-one flying sword magical treasures simultaneously.
If this operation is continuously performed, the day will come when, in front of the Ten Thousand Sword Peak of fourth-grade flying swords containing Nascent Soul-level sword intent, Li Yuanba will truly be able to achieve an instantaneous kill at the same level.
He became more excited the more he thought about it. It seemed that this task had to be prioritized.
