Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 483 - 288: The Magic Treasure
Chapter 483 -288: The Magic Treasure
The Mountain Protection Array of Ten Thousand Sword Peak suddenly vanished, a consequence of the array’s complete integration with the newly added formation nodes.
Which meant the array had been deactivated, and all the cultivators who had been keeping an eye on Ten Thousand Sword Peak noticed the changes to it.
Now, the surface of Ten Thousand Sword Peak was fully covered with countless mysterious patterns, and the spirit ore within the mountain had become the source of all energy, sustaining the complexity of the new formation that had multiplied several times over.
Li Yuanba spat out several breaths of Golden Core energy in succession and, with the aid of this energy, imprinted his spirit mark at the core of Ten Thousand Sword Peak, effectively taking control of it.
No sooner had he completed this than the fastest few Golden Core Elders had already arrived.
Included among them was Elder Yue, whose eyes overflowed with disbelief as he looked at Ten Thousand Sword Peak and Li Yuanba, who stood atop the summit.
The aura emitting from Li Yuanba’s body was unmistakably that of the Golden Core Stage.
Yet, the Ten Thousand Sword Peak that Elder Yue had coveted for many years had been refined into a magical weapon, branded with Li Yuanba’s spirit mark.
The plans Elder Yue and several other Golden Core Elders of the Senluo Sect had been making for many years dissipated before their eyes.
If it were not for the fact that they were still within the bounds of the Senluo Sect, with many cultivators watching, he would have liked to slay Li Yuanba right there and then to vent his anger.
The reason he had wanted to refine Ten Thousand Sword Peak into a magical weapon was due to its perfect foundation as a Mountain Peak Type Magical Treasure.
Among all magical treasures, those that required the most materials and were the most difficult to refine were precisely the mountain peak type.
The mountain peak type magical treasure’s main body must be an exceedingly colossal mountain, and the materials that make up the mountain must also be suitable for Artifact Refining.

A mountain peak completely composed of Artifact Refining materials, even the lowest grade, requires a staggering amount of resources.
It’s estimated that even emptying several large spirit ore veins would not yield enough materials to form the base of such a mountain peak type magical treasure.
Not to mention this is just the preparation of the materials; the time required to transform these materials into a mountain peak through refining is measured in centuries.
Having been nurtured by the Sword Intent for thousands of years, the original earth and stone of Ten Thousand Sword Peak had long been transformed into higher-grade spiritual materials, and with the countless artifact materials invested by the previous sword cultivator sect, it far exceeded what an ordinary cultivator could refine individually.
Elder Yue had calculated that if he could refine Ten Thousand Sword Peak, he could become one of the strongest Golden Core cultivators beneath the Nascent Soul Stage.
The reason it was ‘one of’ is because there are several Half-step Nascent Soul Golden Core cultivators in the Beishu Continent, whose strength has already surpassed that of the regular Golden Core Stage.
Of course, there’s also the premise that Elder Jian is indeed making a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, otherwise Elder Jian’s strength would still rank ahead.
Li Yuanba sensed the gazes of many cultivators, but he didn’t bother to pay them any attention.
All his focus was on Ten Thousand Sword Peak, which was crucial to his cultivation, affecting his cultivation speed at the Golden Core Stage.
Feeling the connection between himself and Ten Thousand Sword Peak, he smiled slightly and pointed towards the peak beneath his feet.
“Shrink!” he lightly called out.
Countless patterns once again emitted a dazzling light, and the entire Ten Thousand Sword Peak began to shrink slowly as he made his call.
This was the first shrinkage, so its pace was somewhat slow.
In the future, it won’t be so leisurely; it will grow or shrink easily at the behest of his mind, such is a magical treasure.
Especially since Ten Thousand Sword Peak was refined by him, the first successful sacrifice refining meant he had thoroughly refined it and could exert one hundred percent of its power.
What transpired with Ten Thousand Sword Peak was extremely magical, far beyond what the science of his former life could explain.
This involved knowledge of space, formations, Spiritual Energy, and Artifact Refining among other things; were it not for Ten Thousand Sword Peak’s base having a perfect foundation for Artifact Refining, such a magical treasure would not be successfully refined for hundreds of years.
He had indeed taken a great advantage from Elder Jian, but since Elder Jian was his master, a master passing on Spiritual Objects to his disciple was reasonable in any sect.
Ten Thousand Sword Peak continued to diminish until it finally transformed into a small peak about a foot tall, gently falling into his left hand.
He held the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure in his hand, yet felt no weight at all; in fact, what appeared to be the mountain peak was merely an illusion, while the true mass of Ten Thousand Sword Peak was hidden within the void.
“I have seen all the Elders, fellow disciples!” Li Yuanba stood in the air, holding the Ten Thousand Sword Peak and smiling as he performed a courteous bow to the gathering cultivators.
His keen senses had already detected the hostile gazes among them, and they were not few.
However, he wasn’t very worried; leaving aside other factors, the Ten Thousand Sword Peak in his hand was enough to deter most Golden Core cultivators.
He estimated that even if there were Golden Core cultivators present who harbored thoughts against him, without knowing the exact power of Ten Thousand Sword Peak, they would not dare to strike at him.
Perhaps they were all waiting for some Golden Core cultivator to take the lead and test out the power of Ten Thousand Sword Peak.
Li Yuanba too was hoping that some Golden Core cultivator would show initiative, allowing him to test the power of Ten Thousand Sword Peak with it.
Although he had refined Ten Thousand Sword Peak, he did not yet know its true power.
All he knew was that the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure, once deployed, would generate a binding force to restrain cultivators, then the Ten Thousand Sword Peak would transform into a real mountain and descend upon the cultivator.
With the weight of ten thousand jin pressing down, even a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator could not withstand such immense pressure.
