Cultivation is just so scientific!

In order to survive, they have unleashed their strongest defense strategies.

The moment the sword intent of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator appeared, Li Yuanba felt a chill go down his spine.

This sword intent doesn't possess any special attributes; it simply carries an intense desire to attack, like an arrow shot from a bow, with an unwavering determination to not return.

This is the most terrifying sword intent Li Yuanba has ever seen; even the 'Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent' of Li Shiming's true self can't compare to this sword intent.

It's not that the 'Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent' isn't strong, but rather this sword intent before him is too overpowering, with a markedly higher level belonging to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

The sword intent struck the first protective artifact, and the artifact exploded like ignited gunpowder, shattering into pieces with a loud 'boom'.

One of the three Nascent Soul Dharma Forms slightly trembled, as the destruction of the artifact caused him some harm.

The sword intent continued, targeting the second and third protective artifacts, all ending up like the first artifact.

The sword intent passed through countless fragments, hitting the defensive spells, and this time all three defensive spells were simultaneously shattered, making Li Yuanba feel as if he was smashing eggs with a large iron rod; how could the egg shell of the defensive spells withstand the attack of the sword intent, the large iron rod?

All defenses shattered, the three Nascent Soul Dharma Forms prepared to scatter and evade, but at this moment, a pressure radiated from within the sword intent.

This pressure came from the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, with the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator skillfully controlling this pressure to manifest at the most critical moment, making the bodies of the three Nascent Soul Dharma Forms momentarily freeze in their evasive attempt.

The sword intent passed through the three Nascent Soul Dharma Forms, the force contained within the sword intent immediately destroying the Nascent Soul Dharma Forms, including the Nascent Souls inside.

Li Yuanba watched as the Nascent Soul Dharma Forms of the three Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners disintegrated into starlight, revealing their protected bodies, yet their bodies were devoid of any life essence.

Their Nascent Souls were sliced by the sword intent along with the destruction of their Nascent Soul Dharma Forms.

"This is a true sword cultivator!" Li Yuanba muttered to himself.

The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator effortlessly slaughtered three Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners, and seeing his ease, it seems as if he exerted little effort in making the three Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners fall right there.

"Li Yuanba, you are bold indeed, facing the pursuit of three Nascent Soul cultivators, yet you dare to retaliate, truly the character expected of a disciple of our Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!" The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator spoke to Li Yuanba with a smile, unfazed by having killed the three Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners.

He was temporarily staying here when he encountered Li Yuanba being chased.

Upon sensing the aura on Li Yuanba and the sword intent he displayed, he recognized him as a fellow sect junior.

When the three Nascent Soul cultivators spoke derogatorily about sword intent, he had already sentenced them to death.

He found Li Yuanba pleasing to the eye, partly because he was Jian Wuwei's disciple, whom he knew well and had a close connection with, naturally fostering affection for Li Yuanba as a result.

Additionally, Li Yuanba's bravery in retaliating against the three Nascent Soul cultivators made him likable.

"Junior has the Divine Foot Skill; there are no worries about safety!" Li Yuanba frankly admitted.

He had been utilizing the Divine Foot Skill all along, and the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator surely knew this.

"You've learned quite a diverse range, it seems you've also studied body refining techniques and practiced close-range sword cultivation techniques. Yet you've managed to reach the Great Elder Realm at your age, Jian found himself a good disciple!" The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator remarked as he looked him over.

"Have I deviated from the path?" Li Yuanba couldn't help but ask.

Both his master Jian Wuwei and the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator before him seemed to him pure sword cultivators.

This made him wonder whether he'd strayed from the path, as a truly powerful sword cultivator should be purely devoted to sword cultivation.

"There's no such thing as straying from the path; your sword intent is Supreme Yang, even considered among pure sword cultivators. At your level, only few can match yours, given your talent, it's acceptable to learn various survival techniques!" The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator said with a smile.

Li Yuanba felt relieved, for facing powerful sword cultivators had considerably shaken his confidence.

"My surname is Wu, you can call me Master Uncle Wu from now on, don't call me a senior anymore. Come sit down below!" The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator gestured invitingly.

He led Li Yuanba to the ground, where there was a temporary abode.

Indeed a temporary abode, noticeable how newly excavated it was, time no more than three months.

Li Yuanba respectfully took his seat in the hall below, meanwhile attempting to recall information about this Master Uncle Wu, his mentor Jian Wuwei had imparted the 'Sword Intent Sky Towering Scroll' to him.

The 'Sword Intent Sky Towering Scroll' contained information about all sword cultivators of the sect, updated automatically.

Soon he found Master Uncle Wu's information in the 'Sword Intent Sky Towering Scroll' — Wu Qi, the 113th generation disciple of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, cultivation level at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!

"Judging by your situation, are you seeking an opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul?" Master Uncle Wu poured a cup of Fourth Grade Spirit Tea for Li Yuanba and inquired.

"Indeed, I recently reached the Great Elder Realm, just short of an opportunity!" Li Yuanba replied as he accepted the spiritual tea.

"The trouble you encountered today, why didn't you report your sect identity? Our Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion should not be easily bullied, and next time report your sect in trouble, not many forces dare disregard the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!" Master Uncle Wu spoke with a sense of pride.

Li Yuanba had not realized the significance of the 'Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion', as in the Beishu Continent, no cultivator knew of the existence of the 'Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion'.

At this moment, he appreciated the benefits of a powerful sect, as it shielded him from undue bullying.

"I will be mindful of it in future!" Li Yuanba nodded in agreement.

"Tell me how you ended up here, and where Jian Wuwei took you as his disciple?" Master Uncle Wu prompted.

Li Yuanba did not conceal anything, recounting how he was taken in as a disciple by Jian Wuwei from Beishu Continent, Jian Wuwei escaping from Senluo Sect upon breaking through the Nascent Soul, and wandering to the Dongqi Continent.

He shared all except matters regarding the true self Li Shiming.

Master Uncle Wu nodded attentively, admiring Li Yuanba's ventures from the Beishu Continent to Dongqi Continent with merely Golden Core Stage power, shaking his head at such daring exploits.

The Beishu Continent's resource scarcity rendered it rarely communicated with other continents.

Precisely due to this, cultivators from Beishu Continent found it extremely difficult to venture to other continents, not to mention Golden Core cultivators; even Nascent Soul cultivators faced perilous sea crossings without safe routes.

"You must have endured quite hardships!" Master Uncle Wu remarked with sympathy.

"Since fate brought us together, and I have time, I shall instruct you here for a while!" He thoughtfully announced.

"Thank you, Master Uncle!" Li Yuanba responded joyously with a bow.

Jian Wuwei departed too early, imparting knowledge of the 'Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique' in a rushed manner, lacking a meticulous explanation.

He couldn't blame Jian Wuwei, who dreamed all his life of returning to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

For Li Yuanba's sake, Jian Wuwei remained in the Beishu Continent for several years even after advancing to Nascent Soul, dedicatedly guiding him.

Post Jian Wuwei's departure, Li Yuanba received no further guidance, even though he could share insights with the true self Li Shiming, ultimately Li Shiming didn't practice the 'Sky Ascending Technique', he could only share sword intent comprehension.

Despite sword intent insights being interchangeable, distinctions persisted, his sword intent was Supreme Yang Sword Intent, Li Shiming's sword intent was Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent; overlaps existed, but nuances in understanding sword intent varied notably.

Now with a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator to mentor him, it would significantly boost his growth.

Crucially, although already a Sword Cultivation Great Elder, he's merely a step away from the Nascent Soul Realm, perhaps Master Uncle Wu's guidance might bridge this gap.
