In the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Wanjian Peak of the Senluo Sect, Elder Jian has been paying close attention to Li Yuanba these days. Since nothing major has happened recently, Elder Jian has been staying on the Wanjian Peak to guide Li Yuanba in his cultivation.
Elder Jian explained every detail of the "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky" in detail, and even the content of the Golden Core Stage was explained in advance.
This made Li Yuanba confused, as if Elder Jian was going to tell him something.
However, Elder Jian did not explain the reason to him, so he could only passively accept this inheritance.
During this period, Li Yuanba's cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds. With the help of a large number of top-level elixirs, the effect of his cultivation increased twenty times, and he had more time to practice flying sword every day.
Although he also has a trump card like Jiang Chen, under the training and influence of Elder Jian, he is becoming more and more like a real swordsman.
During his cultivation, he also heard the name of the original body, Li Shiming, in the Senluo Sect.
He was somewhat surprised to find that Li Shiming's identity as a master of alchemy had not caused the monks of Senluo Sect to have any hatred towards him, but instead praised him unanimously.
If it weren't for his status, he would have no chance to come into contact with Li Shiming. He believed that the demon cultivators in the sect would find a way to participate in the celebration of Li Shiming's master alchemist and present him with gifts.
On this day, Elder Jian explained the "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky" to Li Yuanba as usual.
He asked Li Yuanba about the content he had explained before and found that Li Yuanba had remembered all of it without any mistakes or omissions. He nodded with satisfaction.
“Yuanba, I have explained to you one by one the contents and precautions of the Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky Art before the Nascent Soul stage. You may wonder why I am so anxious?” Elder Jian said here and looked at Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba couldn't help but touch his scalp. He was indeed very confused.
"For a long time from now on, I will not be able to guide your cultivation!" Elder Jian said slowly.
"Master!" Li Yuanba exclaimed in surprise. He thought Elder Jian was in some trouble.
With Elder Jian’s strength, the one who could cause him trouble would probably need to be a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
"It's not what you think. It's a good thing. I've had some feelings recently and I'm going to go into seclusion to comprehend the great way of the Nascent Soul!" Elder Jian said with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Master!" Li Yuanba was overjoyed and bowed quickly.
“This also has something to do with you. Since I accepted you as my disciple, I felt that the sword spirit of my lineage had been passed down to Chongxiao Pavilion. A big stone in my heart was finally put down, and I had some breakthroughs as a result of the feeling in my heart.” Elder Jian said with a smile.
He was extremely satisfied with his disciple. Li Yuanba was extremely talented, both in terms of foundation and learning ability. Even in the original Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, he was a top genius.
Such a disciple has the hope of keeping up with his pace, and perhaps one day he will be able to return to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
Regardless of whether Elder Jian succeeds or fails in his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, he can break through with confidence. Even if he fails and dies, his disciple Li Yuanba still has the hope of fulfilling his wish and becoming a Nascent Soul to return to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
At least he passed down the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion here, and passed it down from generation to generation, until one day his lineage returns to the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
When Li Yuanba heard what Elder Jian said, he was still a little surprised, because he had heard this sentence too many times.
It seemed that his good fortune was affecting the people around him. Li Shiming's master and senior sister had been affected. Now even his master, Elder Jian, had found hope for a breakthrough because of him.
"Master, please rest assured and retreat. I will work hard on my own and will definitely live up to your expectations!" Li Yuanba promised solemnly.
"I trust you, but I don't trust the other cultivators in the sect!" Elder Jian couldn't help but sneer when he said this, and his eyes looked outside the mountain.
Li Yuanba thought of Elder Lu, and he naturally understood what Elder Jian was talking about.
“This Wanjian Peak is my private property. It was given to me by your grandmaster who personally asked several Nascent Soul ancestors to snatch it. This Wanjian Peak is of little use to me. After I go into seclusion, I’m afraid that some elders of the sect will covet the Wanjian Peak. Although they dare not snatch it openly with your grandmaster’s protection, we must guard against their covert tactics!
Once your master starts practicing, we will not be able to contact him for a long time, so before I go into seclusion, I will pass on Wanjian Peak to you. You have the control of Wanjian Peak, and you can deal with even the Golden Core Elder in Wanjian Peak. "Elder Jian looked at Li Yuanba solemnly and said.
"Master, actually there is something I haven't told you!" Li Yuanba thought for a moment and bowed.
"If it's related to your secret, then there's no need to tell anyone. Which cultivator doesn't have some secrets?" Elder Jian said, looking at him with a smile.
In Elder Jian’s opinion, what Li Yuanba wanted to say was not a big deal.
"Master, please look at this!" Li Yuanba took out the design drawing of the Wanjianfeng magic weapon that he found in Elder Lu's space ring, held it in front of him and said.
He took out the design drawing of the magic weapon of Wanjian Peak, of course he wanted to tell Elder Jian what the Jindan elders in the sect were thinking. Although Elder Lu had passed away, who knew how many Jindan elders were still eyeing Wanjian Peak. He was worried that Elder Jian underestimated the extent to which the Jindan elders in the sect coveted Wanjian Peak.
"It seems that Elder Lu has been planning Wanjian Peak for a long time. This design alone is not something that an ordinary weapon refining master can design!" After looking at the design drawing of Wanjian Peak, Elder Jian sighed.
He had no interest in knowing how Li Shiming obtained the design drawings of the Wanjian Peak magic weapon. Elder Lu died on the battlefield during the Foundation Establishment Period, so it was normal for his body parts to be lost.
To be honest, if it weren't for Patriarch Lu's life-saving grace and Patriarch Lu's constant care, Elder Jian would not have stayed in Senluo Sect.
Elder Jian stayed in Senluo Sect to repay his gratitude. He promised the old ancestor that he would serve Senluo Sect before achieving the Nascent Soul stage. After achieving the Nascent Soul stage, he would return to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion and leave his inheritance in Senluo Sect.
As a sword cultivator, he naturally cannot get involved with the demon cultivators.
This Wanjian Peak was also snatched by Ancestor Lu specifically for him in order to keep him, and he must repay this favor.
However, over the past few hundred years, Elder Jian has made great contributions to the Senluo Sect. Countless hostile golden elixirs have fallen at his hands. He has made a great contribution to the current power of the Senluo Sect.
Before, Elder Jian had heard about the sect’s Jindan elders’ spying on Wanjian Peak, so he turned a blind eye to some of the small actions. Anyway, nothing would go wrong as long as he was there.
But after seeing the design drawings of Wanjian Peak, he realized that the sect's Jindan Elder was not just spying, he was considering Wanjian Peak as a thing to be divided up.
He believed that as long as he failed to break through, or successfully broke through and left Senluo Sect, Li Yuanba's strength would make it impossible to keep Wanjian Peak.
At least before Li Yuanba's strength reached the late Jindan stage, Wanjian Peak was extremely important for Li Yuanba to practice the "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky Art".
Without Wanjian Peak, it would be extremely difficult for Li Yuanba to improve his swordsmanship. He might even die of old age in the Jindan stage due to practicing for too long, and would be unable to reach the Yuanying stage.
"Yuan Ba, I have prepared the materials for this design for you. When your strength reaches the Golden Core stage, you can refine the Wan Jian Peak into a magic weapon and carry it with you!" Elder Jian carefully looked at the design in his hand again and finally made a decision.
Rather than letting outsiders get the advantage, it would be better to let Li Yuanba refine the Wanjian Peak into a magic weapon himself.
As for the fact that sword cultivators only have one magic weapon, the Wanjian Peak can be regarded as Li Yuanba's auxiliary magic weapon for cultivation, and it does not affect the spirit of sword cultivation.
"Master, Elder Lu has actually prepared the materials a long time ago!" Li Yuanba took out a storage bag and handed it over.
"That's a good deal for you!" Elder Jian took the storage bag, checked it, shook his head and smiled.
The number and variety of materials in the storage bag are so large that even if Elder Jian were to collect them personally, it would take a long time.
Originally, he planned to help Li Yuanba deal with this matter even if it delayed his retreat.
He didn't expect that Elder Lu had already collected all the materials and was just waiting for him to leave so that he could refine Wanjian Peak.
"I will go to Master's Three Sacred Peaks in the name of serving Master, and then go into seclusion there. I will not tell anyone, but within five years at most, the Jindan elders in the sect will confirm that I have achieved a breakthrough in seclusion, so you must try your best to achieve a Jindan breakthrough within five years."
At this point, Elder Jian glanced at Li Yuanba and continued, "Your strength has improved very quickly. I don't know what help you have found, but I think it will not be a problem for you to reach the peak of the late foundation building stage and try to break through to the golden elixir stage in five years."
During Li Yuanba's recent practice, he had been taking top-level elixirs to speed up his practice efficiency.
Outsiders simply could not detect the increase in strength brought about by his practice, but in recent times Elder Jian explained the "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky" to Li Yuanba almost every day, so how could he not sense that there was a problem with Li Yuanba's practice progress.
Otherwise, why would Elder Jian propose to break through to the Golden Core stage in five years? You have to know that for a normal cultivator, five years is not enough time to break through from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building.
"I have developed a close friendship with the master of alchemy while I am abroad. The last time I went out was to exchange the resources in my hands with him for elixirs for cultivation!" Li Yuanba explained half-truthfully.
He didn't want to deceive his master, Elder Jian, but he couldn't tell anyone about this matter.
The relationship between him and his original self, Li Shiming, is his biggest secret.
"I still say the same thing, everything is your opportunity, you don't need to explain anything to me. Master only hopes that when I come out of seclusion, you are still in control of Wanjian Peak and become a Jindan sword cultivator!" Elder Jian smiled and shook his head.
"Master, how long will your retreat take?" Li Yuanba asked.
"At least ten years, at most thirty years. If I hadn't come out within thirty years, I might have died!" Elder Jian replied in a deep voice.
Li Yuanba couldn't help but fall silent for a while, thinking about every detail of his time with Elder Jian.
When he passed the test of Elder Jian and became a disciple of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion in front of the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion scroll, Elder Jian treated him like his own son.
Although he and Elder Jian had not spent a long time together, their feelings were genuine, without any conflicts of interest.
“Don’t think too much. It’s such a blessing to be able to comprehend the Great Dao of the Nascent Soul. Look at how many cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation cannot reach this level in their entire lives. Even if you can feel the realm of the Great Dao of the Nascent Soul for just a moment, it will be worth it for hundreds of years of practice!” Elder Jian’s eyes flashed, he smiled and patted Li Yuanba on the shoulder.
The cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation will face one level after another starting from the Qi Refining Stage.
In the Qi Refining stage alone, there is a small level at each level, a middle level at each of the three levels, and a large level at the peak of Qi Refining that blocks the path to advancement to Foundation Building.
Then comes the foundation building. There will be bottlenecks at each level, and each level is an extremely difficult path of cultivation.
These caused the cultivators to be eliminated in batches, and only one in a hundred cultivators remained at the foundation-building stage, not to mention those who could be promoted to the golden elixir stage later.
Every cultivator who can truly attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage is a top-notch cultivator in the sect.
No wonder even a man as talented as Elder Jian couldn't help but feel emotional when talking about the difficulties of the Nascent Soul path.
Elder Jian brought Li Yuanba to the top of Wanjian Peak where five flying swords were located. The five flying swords were inserted into the rock.
"Today I will hand over the control of Wanjian Peak to you. You must do your best to preserve Wanjian Peak. If..." Elder Jian paused at this point, and then he continued: "If things are impossible, you must give up Wanjian Peak and ensure your own safety first!"
"I will keep Master Wan Jianfeng and wait for him to come out of seclusion!" Li Yuanba said firmly.
Elder Jian did not try to persuade him further. The spirit of a sword cultivator is to be indomitable. If one could give up easily, he would not be a sword cultivator.
Fortunately, Li Yuanba's spiritual consciousness was upgraded to divine consciousness, and with the help of Elder Jian, the original owner of Wanjian Peak, he was able to leave his spiritual imprint on the five flying sword magic weapons.
After becoming the true master of Wanjian Peak, Li Yuanba sensed the situation of the entire Wanjian Peak through the five flying sword magic weapons.
He had practiced in Wanjian Peak before, and although he had a certain degree of control, he had never had this kind of macro perspective.
The entire Wanjian Peak seems to be alive from the inside out. Aura and sword intent are the blood of life. The tens of thousands of flying swords of various levels inserted on the Wanjian Peak are connected to each other to form a complex energy connection network.
The blood composed of spiritual energy and sword intent flows in the energy communication network formed by thousands of flying swords, just like flowing in blood vessels.
Every flying sword of Wanjian Peak is an integral part of the peak. No matter how poor the original quality of the sword is, after countless years of nurturing, the quality of the sword is closely linked to Wanjian Peak.
Even if there were Jindan cultivators in Wanjian Peak, they were unable to destroy any of the flying swords, even the lowest-level magical flying swords.
Although the target of the attack was the magic flying sword, the attack was actually on Wanjian Peak as a whole.
Without destroying the overall strength of Wanjian Peak, it is impossible to damage any flying sword. The most special thing is that even if a flying sword is damaged, it can repair itself in Wanjian Peak.
