Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration Chapter 190 – Sword Spirit's Last Gift

Under the circumstances of activating the Overlord Body Art with all his might, Jiang Li's body strength mixed with spiritual qi covered the surface of his body. The defensive effect against physical and spiritual qi attacks was extremely powerful.

In theory, as long as the attack landed on his body did not surpass the combined strength of Jiang Li's own strength and spiritual qi, it would be impossible to break through his Overlord Body Art.

Apart from being unable to attack when defending, the only flaw of this body cultivation method was that it consumed too much strength and spiritual qi.

However, to Jiang Li, the word exhaustion had not appeared in his dictionary for a long time.

Countless sword lights continuously landed on his body, taking away several times the total spiritual qi reserve of an ordinary Qi Refinement realm cultivator.

Jiang Li's stamina and spiritual qi had always been maintained at the maximum value and had never dropped at all.

The sword lights that struck his body could only transform into nutrients for the Sword Heart and the experience of the Overlord Body Art.

However, nothing was absolute in this world.

Among the thousands of Shu Mountain ancestors, the weakest were at the Qi Refinement or Foundation Establishment realm, while the strongest were at the Core Formation or Nascent Soul realm. There were even stronger big shots.

The will they left on the flying sword naturally had a huge difference.

As the sword cries became more and more intense, a few relatively larger sword lights gradually gathered in the sky above the Sword Burial Ground.

These sword lights condensed from the cave's sword aura were actually quite ordinary in terms of pure energy calculation. They were only at the level of the Foundation Establishment realm.

However, the problem was the wills of those powerful sword cultivators. These wills could basically be considered incomplete Sword Hearts.

The Sword Hearts could ignore or greatly weaken one's defense. Even the Overlord Body Art was helplessly countered by it!

A metallic sword light silently attacked from behind and directly struck Jiang Li's back.

The disciple uniform made of the Nine Nether Wood roots was directly cut and exposed his skin, and a slight trace of blood appeared on the skin on Jiang Li's back.

This strike was already more powerful than Chang Wanzhou's strongest strike.

Jiang Li touched his back and could not help but sigh.

These Shu Mountain sword cultivators who could ignore defense were all unstoppable.

How terrifying!

At this moment, outside the Heart Questioning Sword Cave.

A few sword lights streaked across the sky and landed at the entrance of the cave.

It was a few Shu Mountain elders who had heard the news.

However, they still looked a little travel-worn, as if they had just returned to the mountain after flying on their swords for a long time.

One of them was the Metal Sword Peak's Peak Master, Wei Wangxuan.

“Greetings, Peak Master, greetings, Elders.”

“Master, elders, you're back. Where are the two Uncle-Masters?”

The cave guard disciple was usually a nobody and was very nervous when facing the higher-ups of the sect.

On the other hand, genius disciples like Chang Wanzhou who were valued were much more at ease and neither servile nor overbearing.

However, he did not speak about Jiang Li immediately. Instead, he asked about the two Uncle-Masters.

The Uncle-Masters he mentioned were naturally Zuo Mo and Zuo Luo, the two Golden Core cultivators.

Why else would it be said that the cultivators of Shu Mountain were very close?

When Elder Duan Shuang betrayed the sect back then, he was decisively labeled a traitor. Then, the Golden Core elders on the warship chased after him through the night, causing the other party to be heavily injured and shot down before he could even escape a thousand miles away.

One had to know that at that time, Duan Shuang had not even massacred the city and had already received such treatment.

Looking at Shu Mountain, the two Golden Cores surnamed Zuo had already massacred the city. The news had already spread throughout the entire cultivation world. The fact that they had fallen to become demonic cultivators was irrefutable.

However, even so, Shu Mountain was still willing to risk universal condemnation and not announce to the outside world that they would expel the two elders from the sect.

They still refused to believe this fact.

After the competition ended, Peak Master Wei led the group to set off. However, his goal was not to deal with the traitors, but to find the people and clear things up.

“The two of them… ran to the vicinity of Nightless City and attacked a few sect's merchant ships. We've seen the traces. It's indeed their sword technique.”

Peak Master Wei and the few elders had ugly expressions. They had run to the Southern Seal Kingdom and practically checked every sword scar in the city, hoping to find any suspicious traces.

However, the truth disappointed them.

In the ruins, they found more than 2,000 huge sword scars. These sword scars came from more than 20 types of Shu Mountain Sword Techniques.

However, no matter how picky they were, they could only tell that Elder Zuo Mo and Elder Zuo Luo's sword techniques were exquisite. As for the suspicious points, there was really nothing.

After that, they used special methods to find all the clues and finally chased them to the Nightless City. However, they learned that two Golden Core sword cultivators had brazenly attacked the Nightless City caravan.

As the peak master of the Metal Mountain Peak, Elder Wei was their boss. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.

The few elders who were with him explained a little. Chang Wanzhou still wanted to ask more, but Elder Wei waved his hand and stopped them.

He still had to report the situation to the Shu Mountain Sword Head later. He did not know how to speak, and now he did not want to mention this matter at all.

“You're saying that the Scripture Storage Valley's Jiang Li is in this cave?”

Peak Master Wei and a few elders stood at the entrance of the cave. From time to time, a Five-Colored Sword Tide would fly towards them.

However, before the sharp sword lights could approach them, they dissipated in the air and disappeared without a trace.

Obviously, this Sword Heart talent was not as simple as Jiang Li had imagined. There were even more profundities waiting for him to discover in the depths of his cultivation.

“He has just awakened his Sword Heart and can already stimulate the Heart Questioning Sword Cave to such an extent. A mere Qi Refinement realm cultivator can withstand the Five-Colored Sword Tide… This Jiang Li's future is limitless.”

“It's a pity that such a good talent in the Sword Heart is destined to be wasted.”

Jiang Li was a body cultivator and was also Elder He's disciple. Wei Wangxuan was a cultivator from the same era as Elder He, and the two of them had interacted quite a bit.

When he thought about how such an unpolished jade was picked up by that brute, he could not help but feel pain.

This was especially true in the final round of the competition, where Jiang Li fought Monk Le Yuan. It was even more absurd.

From the beginning to the end, he had suppressed the other party who had cultivated the Palm Meditation Technique. In the end, he did not even suffer any injuries. That was simply not something an ordinary person could do.

“Peak Master, what should we do next? Should we get him out? If anything happens to Jiang Li here, it'll probably be difficult to explain things to the Scripture Storage Valley.”

Due to the influence of Elder Zuo Mo and Elder Zuo Luo, there was a lot of controversy regarding the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region.

If the outstanding disciples of the Scripture Storage Valley died prematurely in the territory of Shu Mountain, it would be hard to explain.

“It's fine. Don't underestimate this Qi Refinement winner. However, to be safe, I'll go in and take a look first.”

After all, Jiang Li was invited to Shu Mountain by him. He could not not just ignore the person.

Wei Wangxuan let the others disperse while he slowly walked into the cave. The sword lights that were fluttering in the cave automatically moved aside in front of him, and he entered all the way without even the corners of his clothes being injured.

In the cave, Jiang Li was still happily grinding.

Even though these sword lights had inherited the sharpness of the Shu Mountain sword cultivators, most of them were unable to break through Jiang Li's defense.

Only a few sword lights were enough to scrape his dead skin under the enhancement of the deceased sword cultivator's will.

However, because his recovery ability was also abnormally powerful, if one did not have perfect vision, he would generally not be able to see the scars.

He was taking advantage of the situation here, but he did not forget to taunt the empty cave.

“No way, no way, no way! This is all you can do? Do you dare to be more violent?”

Cultivating the Overlord Body Art required one to be beaten up to feel the dispersion of power. The weak sword lights really made him unable to control himself.

However, in the end, his mockery was heard by Peak Master Wei.

“Hmm, this is the first time I've heard such a request in all my years of cultivation. Since you're a guest, how can I disappoint you?”

Peak Master Wei was not too surprised to see that Jiang Li was completely fine within the sword light.

He knew Jiang Li's toughness.

On the other hand, the Five-Colored Sword Tide stimulated by Jiang Li's Sword Heart was obviously not enough for him.

Therefore, Peak Master Wei very generously decided to help this junior.

Clang!

His golden flying sword unsheathed itself and landed in the Sword Burial Ground.

Swoosh!

As Wei Wangxuan pointed with his finger, practically the entire Heart Questioning Sword Cave shook. Then, the sword cries and five-colored tides that resounded in the cave suddenly became different.

Swoosh!

A golden sword light slashed past Jiang Li's shoulder that was covered in pitch-black skin. Jiang Li felt his shoulder turn slightly cold, and a trace of blood actually flowed down from his shoulder.

The ordinary sword light actually drew a long, narrow, and small wound on Jiang Li's body.

Jiang Li was shocked. What was going on? Why did these sword lights suddenly become so strong without any signs!

Pew! Pew!

Two more sword lights flew over and struck Jiang Li's chest, and they directly drew a large 'X' on his chest.

Although this kind of superficial wound could heal in a few seconds, there were more and more of them coming.

Sword lights flew over one after another, causing his body to be covered in injuries.

However, what puzzled him was that among the five-colored sword light, only the sword light that represented the metal attribute became especially powerful. It was as if it was directly augmented with a powerful Sword Heart.

Even his Overlord Body Art could not completely withstand it.

After suffering a few dozen consecutive strikes, a black stream suddenly stretched out from his waist and circled around Jiang Li at extreme speed. It curled up a few times and instantly minced the dozens of golden sword lights into pieces.

Swoosh! The indestructible Dragon Imprisoning Lock moved to protect its owner.

The pitch-black chain danced in the cave like a demonic dragon, directly clearing away nearly half of the sword light in the surrounding area.

After that, the Dragon Imprisoning Lock flew back to Jiang Li's side, and then it coiled once more before weaving into a black ball-shaped cage that protected Jiang Li in the center.

Jiang Li had never used the Dragon Imprisoning Lock as a defensive equipment all along, but it was not because its defense was weak, but precisely because it was too strong.

According to Elder He, this Dragon Imprisoning Lock was discovered on an ancient dragon corpse.

The material was extremely special. Even a True Dragon could not destroy it, much less anyone in the current cultivation world.

Now, because of the passage of time, its former power was no longer present. Moreover, because the material was hard and could not be forged or carved, it could not be used to refine new artifacts.

This made a divine artifact end up as a chain that only had the advantage of being hard.

However, the tough material itself was already an extremely rare treasure.

Dense sword lights continuously collided with the Dragon Imprisoning Lock, causing sparks to fly everywhere. Then, not a trace was left behind on it.

Even the powerful Sword Heart talent could not work on this chain.

Jiang Li was very satisfied with this. The toughness of the Dragon Imprisoning Lock had not changed, but its strength was too small earlier.

Although external attacks could not destroy it, they could easily send it flying. Now, after a long period of spiritual qi nourishment, the Dragon Imprisoning Lock had already become much stronger.

Jiang Li did not plan to let the Dragon Imprisoning Lock block all the sword lights. That was not in line with his interests.

With a thought, he controlled the Dragon Imprisoning Lock to adjust the gap between the ball-shaped chains.

A portion of the sword light landed on his body and he continued to cultivate the Overlord Body Art.

Elder Wei was also surprised to see this. He did not expect that Elder He would actually give the Dragon Imprisoning Lock to this disciple.

That old fellow really attached great importance to this young disciple. However, in this case, this level of sword light was meaningless to him.

Wei Wangxuan raised his sword finger again and was just about to point it out when he shook his head and gave up on the intention of increasing the difficulty.

“…As your elder, it's not good for others to say that I bullied you. Forget it, take this as compensation for those sword wounds.”

Elder Wei pointed his sword out, and the golden flying sword emitted a glow again.

Swoosh!

Under the guidance of the golden sword of light, all the flying swords in the Sword Burial Ground began to respond to each other. After reaching the limit, the cave suddenly recovered its calm.

On the other hand, the five colored sword lights formed from will and sword cave breath seemed to have received a command, and they all flew towards Jiang Li.

For a time, it was like a storm was brewing. The ball formed by the Dragon Imprisoning Lock was compressed to the limit and directly stuck to Jiang Li's body.

It was not until two minutes later, when all the sword lights were like moths to a flame, that the sword rain stopped.

That was it?

However, what surprised Jiang Li was that after this wave of sword rain, his mental world abnormally did not receive the white light spots.

He carefully opened the Dragon Imprisoning Lock to take a look. Only then did he discover that countless white lights in front of him were slowly gathering, and they actually transformed into a figure holding a sword.

Then, before Jiang Li could react, the figure charged into the space between his brows and spontaneously practiced various sword techniques in his Sea of Consciousness.

[Activated the gift of the Sword Cry in the Heart Questioning Sword Cave. Added Status: Sword Spirit's Last Gift]

[Sword Spirit's Last Gift: Protects the mind from abnormal mental states and continues to nurture the Sword Heart. Sword-type skill comprehension speed will increase by 300%, Sword Heart strength will increase by 100%, Sword Perception +10, Duration: 3 months] (− +)

After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Li still did not understand what had happened. He tested it a few times and confirmed that the white figure that appeared in his consciousness was harmless to him before he set this status to infinite duration.

After coming to Shu Mountain and obtaining the Asura Sword Heart and the Sword Spirit's Last Gift, if he were to get any other sword cultivator statuses next, it was hard for him to imagine the expression of his beloved master when he returned to the sect.

Apart from that, the Overlord Body Art finally reached the seventh level after these sword waves.

As long as he advanced another level, he could attempt to turn the Immovable Overlord Body of the Overlord Body Art into a status.

It was only a matter of time before he turned the Immovable Overlord Body into the Moving Overlord Body.

He casually changed his clothes and stood up from the rock.

“Oh? Greetings, Peak Master Wei.”

Jiang Li had just finished when he saw Wei Wangxuan who was standing at the side. With this person's cultivation, Jiang Li really did not notice when he had arrived.

“Yeah, you sure made a big scene. Forget it, if there's nothing else, come out.”

“Enter the Demon Subduing Pagoda at noon three days later.”

After saying this, Wei Wangxuan turned around and flew away.

Jiang Li scratched his head and followed behind him.

A thousand miles away, outside Nightless City.

The Nine Nether clone looked at a Hundred Tempering Mountain merchant ship that was gradually leaving and muttered to himself.

“Attack a merchant ship? Interesting.”
