Cultivation is just so scientific!

"That is Sword Peak, also the home of all sword cultivators!" Master Uncle Wu pointed at the tallest peak and said.

He and Li Yuanba flew closer to the island, and Li Yuanba discovered that apart from Sword Peak, not only were there no caves on other islands, but there were also no spirit plants; there were sword marks everywhere.

"The islands around are places for sword cultivators to compete amongst themselves!" Master Uncle Wu continued to introduce.

"Master Uncle, doesn't the sect plant any spirit plants?" Li Yuanba had seen many sects and raised his doubts.

In the sects he had seen, there were almost no vacant lands, and the lands were fully utilized.

The spiritual energy inside the sect was extremely dense. Leaving such land vacant would be an enormous waste.

As long as the land is transformed into a spirit field, an initial investment can yield long-term benefits, at least providing enduring income for the sect.

But the scene before him was incomprehensible to Li Yuanba; the islands surrounding Sword Peak were not small, yet none were utilized except for the sword cultivators' competitions.

"Why would sword cultivators plant anything? If lacking, just rob others!" Master Uncle Wu spoke with conviction, leaving Li Yuanba at a loss for words.

Li Yuanba felt that despite having learned alchemy and artifact refining, and having 'Six Yang Spirit Fire' and 'Xuanyin Ghost Fire' within him, they were likely useless within Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Master Uncle Wu smiled; Li Yuanba had joined Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion externally and had not yet integrated into it. After some time, he would understand.

Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion has a unique way of recruiting disciples. As long as there's a special spiritual object like the 'Sword Intent Sky Towering Scroll,' cultivators can be recruited into the pavilion.

Of course, there are conditions to be met when recruiting disciples; certain entry standards are required.

Indeed, the conditions for joining externally are more challenging than entering the mountain gate directly; it requires the cultivator's sword dao talent to reach the apex level and possessing sword intent.

They obviously can't let a cultivator without sword intent join Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion; within the mountain gate, one can acquire sword intent through insights from the Sword Intent Cave Heaven, but externally, under the absence of such conditions, a cultivator might never gain insights into their sword intent.

"Oh?" Master Uncle Wu frowned slightly, letting out a soft exclamation.

"What's happened?" Having been with him for a long time, Li Yuanba quickly asked seeing his expression.

"Jian Wuwei hasn't returned yet!" Master Uncle Wu said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing the news, Li Yuanba's heart sank.

Jian Wuwei had left Beishu Continent ahead of him; he had stayed on Dongqi Continent for several years, assuming his master had returned to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion long ago.

It seemed improbable for Jian Wuwei to be hindered by anything; as his disciple, he knew how much his master desired a swift return to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

"Master should be alright!" Li Yuanba said worriedly.

"I'll have the sect intelligence network search for Jian Wuwei's whereabouts; if something indeed happens, the sect will avenge him!" Master Uncle Wu calmly said.

Yet Li Yuanba could see the killing intent in his eyes; if any force assaulted Jian Wuwei, it would face an annihilating blow.

"I'll take you to register first and find you a cave!" Master Uncle Wu lightly patted Li Yuanba's shoulder.

Li Yuanba set aside his worries and followed Master Uncle Wu toward Sword Peak.

The closer he got to Sword Peak, the more intensely he felt the sword intent; the sword intent was exceptionally unique, and his 'Supreme Yang Sword Intent' felt nurtured in this environment.

Even in such an environment, where sword cultivation techniques aren't practiced, one's sword intent would continue to strengthen.

It's uncertain whether nurturing sword intent has a limit; at least his 'Supreme Yang Sword Intent' was being nourished.

Not to mention the spiritual energy here; the density was richer than anywhere he'd witnessed, including the Fourth Grade Seclusion Room of Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

"How about the spiritual energy here?" Master Uncle Wu asked somewhat proudly.

"How can there be such dense spiritual energy?" Li Yuanba asked in amazement.

This place was still outside, not yet within the cave, and theoretically, the cave should be where spiritual energy is densest.

"Whenever the sect carries out a sect-destroying mission, spiritual veins are brought back, all placed together, forming this spiritual energy density!" Master Uncle Wu explained.

Indeed, it was through robbery; Li Yuanba's suspicion was confirmed.

No wonder the concentration of spiritual energy was so high, given sword cultivators' combat prowess. When a group of sword cultivators deploys, it shouldn't be difficult to destroy a sect.

After countless years of accumulation, the spiritual veins just increased, naturally intensifying the spiritual energy.

Master Uncle Wu landed in front of an open cave entrance, and Li Yuanba followed suit.

"This is where sect affairs are handled; you can come here if anything arises!" Master Uncle Wu explained to Li Yuanba as they walked.

Inside the cave, it was wide open, divided into several areas: regions for Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators, a Golden Core cultivator area, and a Nascent Soul cultivator area.

It seemed Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion centralized all cultivator affairs in this place, which indeed was convenient but extremely rare.

Any sect would separate departments for different cultivation levels; the identities and statuses across various cultivation levels differ vastly, joining them all together is somewhat inconvenient.

At the moment, there weren't many cultivators here; Li Yuanba saw several Golden Core cultivators handling matters in their area, the rest were sect service cultivators in other areas.
