I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 733 -734: Reorganization

“I am the ninth princess of the Sword Dynasty, named Li Shuangning. It shall be my pleasure to answer the young master’s questions,” said the woman.

The icy beauty from the Sword Dynasty gave a poised bow, her manner dignified and collected. Among the crowd, she remained the most composed, exuding an air of superiority from the very beginning. Despite her meticulous concealment, a trace of disdain in her eyes never vanished.

This was true even though she had been seriously injured by the Vice Leader.

“The Central Origin Realm is vast and rich, incomparably larger than the Earth Spirit Realm. Even our dynasties have yet to fully explore the entirety of the Central Origin Realm.”

“To put it bluntly, the dynasties we princesses and princely heirs represent are but a tip of the iceberg in the Central Origin Realm. Super Sects abound within, and our dynasties rely on one of these sects. Our descent to the Lower Realm was spearheaded by our affiliated sect.”

Li Shuangning spoke at length, methodically describing the situation in the Central Origin Realm.

According to her, the Overlords of the Central Origin Realm were the various Super Sects, each wielding control over tens or even hundreds of dynasties, with countless smaller sects in vassalage.

The batch of disciples caught today hailed from dynasties affiliated with a large sect known as the Sword Sect – as the name suggests, a sect of esteemed sword cultivators.

Upon entering the Central Origin Realm, one encounters the Immortal Spirit Qi, and the power it transforms into upon absorption is called Immortal Yuan. Generally, the first thing a cultivator from the Lower Realm must do upon ascending is to find a Cultivation Technique to purge the residual Spiritual Power in their body, retaining only the Immortal Yuan. By doing so, their strength can increase manifold.

These Cultivation Techniques are further categorized into different tiers – Heavenly, Earthly, Profound, and Yellow, with Heavenly Grade Techniques being the highest caliber and Yellow Grade Techniques the lowest, not to mention various insignificant ones.

The highest grade techniques available to these princely heirs were only of the Earth Grade owing to their status. They practiced Profound Grade Techniques, which granted them resources countless times superior to those of average cultivators.

“Girl, take a look at this old beggar’s Iron Bone Clanging Fist. What level of technique is it?” asked the old beggar, gesticulating wildly as he interrupted. It was a skill taught to him by Hu, said to be a low-level technique, but he sought further confirmation.

“Forgive my frankness, but this is a common street technique, one found everywhere. I’m curious where the elderly gentleman obtained it. In the Central Origin Realm, such a technique is used only for children to build foundational strength. It’s considered a treasure only by those of the mortal world,” Li Shuangning explained, her tone gentle yet tinged with a subtle sharpness that revealed her utter disdain for cultivators of the Immortal Spirit Continent.

“What is the purpose of your descent to the Lower Realm?” Li Xiaobai asked.

“Our master only instructed us to gather Immortal Spirit Qi and did not disclose any other details. The reasons are unknown to us, as these are secrets held by the higher-ups,” replied Li Shuangning.

“What realms lie above the Human Immortal Realm?”

“The cultivation system of the Central Origin Realm consists of the three Immortal Realms, followed by the Semi-Saint and Saint Realms. In the Central Origin Realm, a Saint is an exalted senior with the power to traverse heaven and earth, unshackled by the mortal world. As for the realms beyond the Saint Realm, I am unaware.”

“Hmm, not bad. From what you’ve said, all of these princely heirs practice Profound Grade Cultivation Techniques?” Li Xiaobai asked with a smile.

“Indeed, these are traditions handed down within the great dynasties, each one only stronger, not weaker, than its counterparts outside,” Li Shuangning acknowledged with a nod.

“Very well, I’ll provide you with paper, ink, brush, and inkstone. Transcribe all the Cultivation Techniques you’ve learned. Whoever writes down the most will receive a reward from me!”

The disciples curled their lips in disdain internally, scoffing at the notion of a reward from such a Barbaric Land.

Not only had they never heard of technique rankings, but they even treasured something as unremarkable as the Iron Bone Clanging Fist, absolutely the behavior of bumpkins. Once their esteemed elder brothers arrived, they would surely capture these fools and torment them endlessly!

But given the current circumstances, they dared not express the slightest dissatisfaction and meticulously set about transcribing their techniques, sitting upright and taking great care.

Two hours later.

In Li Xiaobai’s hands were more than a dozen different types of Cultivation Techniques, all of Profound Grade.

The disciples from the Upper Realm were very honest and did not play any tricks with the Cultivation Techniques, for they knew there was no need; in just a few more days, the Immortal Spirit Continent would be completely under the rule of the Upper Realm. By that time, who received which technique would be entirely up to them.

“Senior Tianwu, take a look and see which Cultivation Technique suits each of you best for immediate practice, and try to break through your realm as soon as possible.”

Li Xiaobai said, the techniques were useless to him, but for the Half-step Human Immortals of the Immortal Spirit Continent, they were invaluable treasures. If they could seize this opportunity to make a breakthrough, it would be an immense stroke of fortune.

“There’s another matter.”

Li Xiaobai informed everyone about the existence of the Spiritual Power Vortex deep in the borderlands.

“It’s a foregone conclusion that the Immortal Spirit Continent will become a prisoner under the Upper Realm. I intend to go to the Upper Realm to find a solution. If anyone else shares this thought, you’re welcome to accompany me!”

“Hiss!”

“There’s actually such a thing!”

“Unfortunately, it seems this old monk must disappoint Young Master Li. After all, I am the King of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom and a pillar of the Western Desert; I absolutely cannot abandon the Buddhist Sect and its followers.”

“Indeed, this palace cannot watch idly as the citizens of the Kingdom of Women suffer under the oppression of the Upper Realm cultivators. Even in death, this palace must perish alongside them!”

“I am the same; the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea needs me to defend it. I cannot leave.”

“…”

The experts from the various forces all shook their heads almost in unison, declining the offer. They were quite tempted by Li Xiaobai’s proposal and would have followed him through life and death if they had been alone. But now, with their own disciples and people to care for, and their own sects to protect, they could not bear to watch helplessly as their sects fell into dire straits.

“Woof! Go to the Upper Realm, take humans as pets!”

“Hehe, go to the Upper Realm, take humans as pets!”

“Go to the Upper Realm, get girls!”

Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing inappropriately bounced out, shouting noisily, while the old beggar also came over to join in the excitement.

Li Xiaobai’s face darkened as usual; these two, as always, ruined the atmosphere.

“Huorong old man, your Lord Ergouzi is going to the Upper Realm. From now on, Fire Qilin Cave is yours to manage!” Ergouzi waved his paw, looking very generous.

“I shall go too, the Eastern Sea can be left to those reptiles,” commented the Kraken indifferently.

“With big sister and third sister defending Aolai Country, I will go to the Central Origin Realm in search of the Six-Eared Macaque Ancestor. Once I have learned and achieved something, I will surely return here,” said Liuren calmly. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

“Then everyone please go back and start contemplating. In a few more days, we shall set off!”

“Thank you, Young Master. We mustn’t delay. We will go down to prepare immediately!”

To the side.

The disciples from the Upper Realm watched dumbfounded as this group of people plotted loudly before them.

What did they hear?

Those Barbaric Lands’ swine actually plan to go to the Upper Realm?

Have they gone mad?
