I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 485
Chapter 485: Chapter 339: Yin Yang Five Elements and Seven Stars Sword Arm_2
After advising a couple of times, Zuo Gong knew that without Che Yucheng’s approval, Chen Mobai would probably not become his disciple. Annoyed, he withdrew his right hand that was demonstrating the Five Elements Sword Sha.
“To cultivate Sword Sha, one must first possess a strong body. My right arm has been specially strengthened through a Body Training Technique. In addition to the Five Elements, there are also Yin and Yang. In theory, the Two Rites Five Elements Sword Sha could form a composite sword array which would be even more formidable.”
As he spoke, Zuo Gong slightly rolled up his sleeve to reveal his right shoulder, indeed bearing the marks of both Yin and Yang Sword Sha.
“I didn’t expect Teacher Zuo to have already cultivated both the Two Rites Sword Sha and Five Elements Sword Sha. Even the four great Sword Cultivators like Nangong Xuanyu may not match up to you.”
Chen Mobai’s words made Zuo Gong shake his head, he sighed and revealed the hidden truth.
“After I theoretically finished the Sword Destruction Collection, in order to verify its practical operability and cultivatability, I proposed to test it on myself.”
“Nangong Xuanyu and the other three each condensed the other four Elemental Sword Sha apart from the Geng Metal Sword Demon, and then injected them into my right arm. But even after the extrapolation through the Emptiness Puppet, they only barely succeeded after failing three times.”
“I managed to cultivate the Five Elements Sword Sha, but the other four Sword Sha are not my own strength. Once they are activated, they will be exhausted and unable to recover, merely a spectacle.”
“The Two Rites Sword Sha is in the same situation. But due to the overpowering strength of Nangong Xuanyu’s Primordial Yang Sword Evil, the Xuan Yin Sword Sha condensed by the other three barely balanced with it to form a formation. Hence, I won’t demonstrate it again, in case I harm my arm even more.”
While talking, Zuo Gong covered up the Two Rites Sword Sha on his shoulder.
“Teacher Zuo has truly made a great contribution to the world of Sword Dao.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but respect Zuo Gong even more.
The extrapolation of the Emptiness Puppet assumes under the most perfect conditions, but during actual practice, many unexpected errors can occur.
With Zuo Gong’s Core Formation realm, he still needed to specifically practice a Body Forging Technique to strengthen his right arm. This indicates how severe the physical damage could be if the Sword Sha Formation fails.
“So even though you’ve attained the realm of Sword Light Shapeshifting, if you really want to condense the Sword Slaughter Formation, you still need to specifically cultivate a Body Training Technique.”
“I suggest waiting until your Foundation Establishment is complete, then slowly attempt this. By that time, you will also have time to prepare and condense the Five Elements Essence Qi for artificial synthesis of the Earth Sha Qi.”
“However, the foundation of Sword Sha is Sword Light. You can first practice with the Five Elements Sword Light Formation.”
“I will first pass on to you my Body Training Technique, but everyone’s physique is different, you can use it as a reference, just don’t strictly follow my method.”
When Zuo Gong previously passed on the Sword Destruction Collection, he had already added Chen Mobai as a friend, so very quickly he passed on his self-created Body Training Technique for condensing the Two Rites Five Elements Sword Array.
Yin Yang Five Elements Seven Stars Sword Arm!
This name is so tacky.
After seeing the title of the ebook, Chen Mobai restrained his impulse to ridicule and continuously thanked Zuo Gong.
“If you don’t understand something, feel free to ask me. After all, I am three hundred years older than you, so my experience in Sword Dao is more abundant.”
Zuo Gong’s words made Chen Mobai too overwhelmed to respond fortunately, the bell for the end of class rang at that moment and Zha Jianbai walked over.
“Director, President.”
Zha Jianbai called out to both Zuo Gong and Chen Mobai. Since he had begun working as a Teaching Assistant, he had frequently interacted with the student council over the past two years and had a few exchanges with Chen Mobai. Being from the same year, they accommodated each other’s schedules.
“Oh yes, the offline peer exchange meeting of the Daoist Academy is about to begin. The participant list is not yet confirmed. Would you be interested, Old Zha?”
Chen Mobai suddenly remembered this matter. As he along with three other Foundation Establishment Nine Layer graduates were participating, they had enough top-level competitors, so he thought about cultivating more talented students for the Daoist Academy.
Out of all the students of year 5012, apart from Zhongli Tianyu and himself, Zha Jianbai was actually the most talented.
He was a true Sword Cultivation Genius, and was also at the Foundation Establishment stage just by hearing the Dao.
It’s a pity that he was in the same year as Chen Mobai. Otherwise, if he were chosen as the next Student Council President, Chen Mobai would not have to worry about Dance Tool Dao Academy falling back into last place after his graduation.
“What does the Director think?”
Zha Jianbai hesitated a bit, then turned to Zuo Gong to ask. The latter just nodded without comment.
“It’s good to go have a look. One has to get hit to grow.”
Chen Mobai laughed. He had never been hit.
“Then I will take my leave first.”
“Yes, come to the Sword Control Department whenever you have time. Or you can drop by my office and campus for tea when you are free.”
Zha Jianbai was puzzled as he saw Zuo Gong bid Chen Mobai farewell with a friendly face.
Previously when he heard Zuo Gong discuss Chen Mobai, it was with a tone of displeasure. How come he is so amiable now?
After leaving the campus, Chen Mobai visited Che Yucheng again.
He originally thought this teacher was still upset, but Che Yucheng appeared as usual. The two discussed the upcoming offline exchange meeting’s participant list. Then Chen Mobai skillfully asked a few questions about automatons replacing manual labor.
“I believe this is the future trend for the Immortal Cultivation World. It’s just that the population of cultivators is still high, making human labor much cheaper than automatons. That’s why it hasn’t been heavily developed. When human labor becomes scarce and expensive in the future, automatons will replace human labor.”
As expected, Che Yucheng’s expression became lively when discussing automatons, and his tone was also filled with passion.
“Teacher, as you know I own a talisman factory. So I was thinking about conducting an experiment in my factory to create an entirely automated production line.”
“Theoretically, there is no problem. In the cultivation world, there are several high-end Magic Artifact alchemy labs that use entirely automated processes. I have been involved in the design and construction of two of these labs. I will grant you access so you can look up relevant papers.”
As one of the leading figures in the Puppet Dao, Che Yucheng had taken part in almost every major project related to puppets.
Even though he knew that Chen Mobai was saying this just to please him, it was the thought that counts.
However, Chen Mobai indeed had been considering this.
He had been pondering how to safely and efficiently transport resources from the Tianhe Realm and Divine Tree Secret Realm to the Immortal Cultivation World to convert it into his assets, without revealing it to anyone.
After plenty of consideration, using automatons was the only option.
Luckily, he now owned a talisman factory, creating a base to start trading between the two realms gradually.
“By the way, have you solved the issue you sought Zuo Gong about?”
Finally, Che Yucheng asked, concerned.
“I have. I completed the Sword Light Shapeshifting recently, and it turned out to be a path of ‘one sword generates countless methods’. So, I couldn’t find any information online. After receiving guidance from Teacher Zuo, I am planning on practicing his Sword Destruction Collection. If things go well, I should be able to complete at least one of the Swords Slaughter Formations before the exchange meeting.”
“Ah, that’s good…wait, what…Sword Light Shapeshifting!”
Che Yucheng was initially just making polite talk to show his deep attachment as a mentor. But halfway through his sentence, his centuries-old mind suddenly caught up.
“What did you say you’ve mastered?”
“Sword Light Shapeshifting!”
Che Yucheng’s eyes widened as he rose from his chair, staring straight at the disciple before him, unable to believe what he’d heard.
“Yes, Teacher. Is something wrong?”
Chen Mobai initially intended to keep it a secret, but he felt that revealing it would be consistent with his “genius” persona. Moreover, it would inevitably be exposed in the future. Since he’d already told Zuo Gong, he might as well lay his cards on the table here.
Che Yucheng sat down again with an uncertain look on his face. After a long time, he appeared to have made some decision, then said with some reluctance.
“Your talent in swordsmanship is somewhat wasted in my Puppet Lines. Why not switch over to the Sword Control Department?”
