Chapter 1978: Chapter 1035: Taiji (Part 2)
He felt it; after transforming into the ’Flying Night Demon,’ his strength and defense increased by at least double, and his speed increased by twofold. However, in the Corpse Refining state, many of his techniques couldn’t be used, even the power of his Lifebound Flying Sword significantly decreased.
The Lifebound Flying Sword’s attack requires energy supplies, but in his Corpse Refining state, his body is filled with Yin Cold Energy, which doesn’t meet the Lifebound Flying Sword’s needs.
Of course, in the ’Flying Night Demon’ state, his space rules not only didn’t weaken but were instead enhanced.
He could wield abilities such as Space Movement and Space Cutting, which allowed him to maintain extremely strong combat power in the ’Flying Night Demon’ state.
Most critically, in the ’Flying Night Demon’ state, his aura underwent a qualitative change.
If someone were tracking him, they wouldn’t be able to know that the ’Flying Night Demon’ walking right in front of them was him.
The whole balancing process took ten days.
The seabed where Li Yuanba stood transformed into a death zone.
The corrosive effects of Yin Cold Energy on life caused all life forms within a kilometer radius of Li Yuanba’s body to die.
He shook his head and reverted his body back from the ’Flying Night Demon’ state to human form.
With this experience of switching to the ’Flying Night Demon’ state, the IBMz15 also gathered corresponding analytical data.
Not long after, the IBMz15 provided him with a report.
Li Yuanba, in human form, had the advantage of Spiritual Treasures, coupled with the ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ making his attack power the strongest.
In the ’Flying Night Demon’ state, influenced by the black wings, his speed and reaction were significantly enhanced.
The space rules were also slightly strengthened, enabling him to wield space abilities in more demanding environments.
Additionally, in the ’Flying Night Demon’ state, he obtained a practical way to utilize space rules for combat from the ’Flying Night Demon’ crafted by Li Shiming.
This made it easier for him to survive in the ’Flying Night Demon’ state, although when it came to killing, the Sword Cultivator in human form was undoubtedly more potent.
For a period afterward, he stayed at the seabed, continually adapting to the ’Flying Night Demon’ state.
At his current level, even if there were secrets, there was no need to explain anything to other cultivators.
Even if cultivators saw him transform from human form to ’Flying Night Demon’ state, they would only consider it a Secret Technique.
While Li Yuanba was cultivating beneath the sea, Li Shiming released the true ’Flying Night Demon,’ directing it to find Li Yuanba.
Li Shiming had already planned to refine multiple ’Flying Night Demons,’ and given the current situation, the initial ’Flying Night Demon’ was still reserved for the safety of Li Yuanba, which needed more attention.
This ’Flying Night Demon,’ refined from the flesh of Great Power Leng Luo, possessed the original Fifth Grade Spiritual Treasure ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ of Great Power Leng Luo.
Its arrival would greatly enhance Li Yuanba’s combat strength. As a newly advanced Great Power, Li Yuanba was considered extremely weak among the Great Powers, but with the ’Flying Night Demon,’ his strength doubled instantly.
Since the arrival of this Thunder Cultivator ’Flying Night Demon,’ Li Yuanba developed new ideas.
Li Yuanba transformed into the ’Flying Night Demon’ state and often sparred with the Thunder Cultivator ’Flying Night Demon.’
The ’Flying Night Demon’ had extremely strong defensive power, so as long as neither party used maximum power attacks, their attacks would leave at most an imprint on the body.
Li Yuanba spent several months outside before bringing the Thunder Cultivator ’Flying Night Demon’ back to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.
Upon arriving at the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, Sword Elder appeared by his side almost instantly as his figure emerged.
Sword Elder’s gaze was not on Li Yuanba but on the Thunder Cultivator ’Flying Night Demon.’
"What is this?" Sword Elder asked, hesitating slightly but not daring to confirm.
"This is the Corpse Refining lent to me by Li Shizhen!" Li Yuanba answered frankly without any intention to conceal.
Sword Elder was aware of Li Shiming having a Fifth Grade ’Flying Night Demon,’ having encountered the Corpse Refining Heavenly Tribulation outside the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s ’Thunder Prison.’
However, he never expected that Li Shiming would lend the ’Flying Night Demon’ to Li Yuanba.
Seeing the ’Flying Night Demon,’ Sword Elder himself felt a lingering threat from it.
This indicated that the Thunder Cultivator ’Flying Night Demon’ could at least cause harm to Sword Elder. As for whether the ’Flying Night Demon’ was stronger or Sword Elder was stronger, it depended on the methods each wielded.
"I truly envy your friendship!" Sword Elder shook his head and sighed, then remembered the most important matter and said: "The time for your lecture is set, invitations have been sent out, and the other hosting matters are in place. Currently, it is confirmed that quite a few Great Power Avatars will be arriving. Although they are just Great Power Avatars, the hosting items cannot appear shabby."
"For the reception of the Great Power Avatars, I have some Fourth Grade Top Inquiry Tea here. Let’s use it for hospitality!" Without the slightest reluctance, Li Yuanba took out a jade box from the soul crystal ring and handed it over.
Sword Elder didn’t need to open the jade box; he scanned the spiritual objects inside the box with his sense.
There were exactly one hundred servings of Fourth Grade Top Inquiry Tea. He had inquired before how much Fourth Grade Top Inquiry Tea could be produced.
This Fourth Grade Top Inquiry Tea generally required a year to harvest one portion, needing to be hand-roasted by now Great Power Li Shiming.
Fourth Grade Top Inquiry Tea is recognized as the finest Spiritual Tea in the Cultivation World, extremely popular in the Cultivation World.
Due to its extremely low yield, Fourth Grade Top Inquiry Tea couldn’t possibly be mass-produced and could only be obtained through connections.
The jade box in Sword Elder’s hands contained a century’s worth of Fourth Grade Top Inquiry Tea.
"This is far too extravagant!" Sword Elder tightened the jade box to his chest somewhat reluctantly and said.
He didn’t know that nowadays the output of Fourth Grade Top Inquiry Tea was no longer the same as before.
Li Shiming had transplanted quite a bit of Fourth Grade Top Spiritual Tea from the Divine Palace, and now the output of Fourth Grade Top Inquiry Tea greatly exceeded Sword Elder’s expectations.
Sword Elder’s reluctance was understandable; he had left most of his own Fourth Grade Top Inquiry Tea for the talented individuals.
He only kept a small portion for himself, not enough for his own enjoyment.
As the day of Li Yuanba’s lecture neared, the Cave Heaven Space barrier of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion blocked most cultivators.
Many cultivators repeatedly requested to participate in the lecture, but they were all refused.
The fact was that too many cultivators were coming. Originally, with Sword Elder’s plan, only Great Power Avatars would be allowed entry, while the rest would wait aside.
However, with the generous hospitality items, many cultivators came uninvited, seeking their own fateful encounter.
In the following days, except for Great Power Avatars, Sword Elder and Li Yuanba would not proactively engage with other cultivators unless they met stringent conditions.
"Li Shizhen, oh right, I should say Li Shiming, he’s here!" Sword Elder sensed and spoke.
Li Yuanba knew even better; he used his privileges to activate Space Movement, directly entering the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s formation.
This was a new privilege granted to Li Yuanba. His Identity Jade Disc had the capability to connect with the Mountain Gate Formation, and the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion would distribute offerings from time to time.
He and Sword Elder went out to greet him, and Sword Elder quickened his pace significantly at the sight of Li Shiming.
"Mr. Li, why didn’t Mr. Li Taibai come?" Sword Elder noticed only Li Shiming alone and added a question.
"Li Taibai is guarding the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and he has no free time to travel!" Li Shiming casually explained.
"This is a gift from me, for the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!" He presented a Fifth Grade Flying Sword to Sword Elder and said.
"This is the Lifebound Flying Sword of Yunji Ancestor; Mr. Li, did you visit that ancient relic?" Sword Elder instantly recognized the origin of the Lifebound Flying Sword and exclaimed.
