Li Yuan Ba had been a disciple under Elder Jian for a year now, and throughout this year, he had hardly ever left Ten Thousand Sword Peak.
The main reason was that he needed to switch his main cultivation technique, which for a cultivator meant shattering the Spirit Lake within the body and cultivating anew.
Luckily, both "Ten Thousand Sword Cultivation Technique" and "Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique" belong to the realm of Sword Cultivation Techniques, and even though he was recultivating, he could still maintain his Foundation Establishment Stage without falling back to the Qi Refinement Realm.
If he had chosen to recultivate a Magic Cultivation technique or some other non-sword cultivation technique, he would have needed to start over from the Qi Refinement Realm, which would have taken much longer.
