Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1279: Chapter 686: Completion

The explosion of the Thunder Pearl swept away everything within a thousand-meter range, even the ’Sanmei Divine Wind’ was extinguished by the Thunder Pearl since Li Yuanba was far away and couldn’t replenish it.

The battlefield was suddenly empty, revealing Xue Huan standing in the air.

At this moment, the Great Power Shield on his body had dimmed, and it seemed like the shield would collapse soon.

No matter how precious the materials, a Life-saving Jade Talisman cannot carry too much great power.

It’s meant for saving lives, not for sustaining battles.

It was because Li Yuanba mostly showed tricks, making Xue Huan mistakenly believe he was much stronger than Li Yuanba, that he stayed on the battlefield even after consuming the Great Ability Life-saving Jade Talisman.

Xue Huan was in a very bad mood. He had used up a Great Ability Life-saving Jade Talisman, and also consumed a Great Cultivator Thunder Pearl.

The Great Cultivator Thunder Pearl is an extremely rare disposable treasure in the Cultivation World, and it was already very lucky for him to obtain one.

Yet after using the Great Cultivator Thunder Pearl without achieving any result, it’s no wonder he was upset.

He looked at Li Yuanba in the distance, his eyes full of anger.

However, he reassessed the strength of both sides. After Li Yuanba exhibited ’One Step to Heaven’, he realized there was nothing he could do against Li Yuanba.

’One Step to Heaven’ is an advanced application of the Divine Foot Technique. A cultivator’s vision can typically reach over a hundred miles.

Which means, after mastering ’One Step to Heaven’, a cultivator can freely perform spatial movement within the range of over a hundred miles, practically equivalent to having a Space Life-saving Jade Talisman.

The Space Life-saving Jade Talisman is the highest-level among all Life-saving Talismans and is extremely rare in the Cultivation World.

Creating a Space Life-saving Jade Talisman requires the cultivator to master space abilities and elevate them to a deep level. However, space ability is the most mysterious and hardest to comprehend among all abilities.

Though ’One Step to Heaven’ consumes a large amount of spiritual power, with a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation, Li Yuanba can perform ’One Step to Heaven’ several times without any issue.

This means Li Yuanba effectively preserved several Space Life-saving Jade Talismans, allowing him to leave the battlefield at any time.

Thinking of this, Xue Huan turned to leave, uninterested in fighting Li Yuanba any longer as it was meaningless.

Li Yuanba swallowed a Fourth Grade High-level Elixir, which quickly restored his consumed spiritual power.

He was also amazed by the power of the Thunder Pearl. Being a Thunder Cultivator himself, he became interested in making Thunder Pearls.

Previously, since Li Shiming was a Thunder Cultivator, creating Thunder Pearls seemed unnecessary compared to directly using Thunder Skills. But now, it seemed he underestimated the Thunder Pearls’ significance.

Of course, the power of a Thunder Pearl also depends on the Thunder Cultivator’s own strength. Even with materials, Li Shiming could at most create a Thunder Pearl close in power to a Great Cultivator Thunder Pearl, unlike those used by Xue Huan.

This was due to Li Shiming having the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’, which could enhance the power of his own lightning.

Seeing Xue Huan wanting to leave, Li Yuanba glanced in the direction of the Purple Flame Sect’s mountain gate and noticed that the Great Cultivator hasn’t appeared.

He knew Xue Huan was likely too proud to send a distress signal.

With a slight smile, having already taken down Xue Huan’s strongest defense, it was time to reap the battle’s rewards.

Xue Huan activated the ’Invisible Magnetic Divine Ability’, rapidly increasing his speed.

Regarding Li Yuanba, he planned to report back as Li Yuanba had surprisingly mastered the ’Invisible Magnetic Divine Ability’.

Though the White Emperor Sect had been tirelessly developing the ’Invisible Magnetic Divine Ability’ inheritance, it didn’t mean it was being leaked.

The latest leak of the ’Invisible Magnetic Divine Ability’ occurred on the Dongqi Continent.

Xue Huan suspected the recent ’Invisible Magnetic Divine Ability’ inheritance leak might be related to Li Yuanba, given that the inheritance rarely falls into external hands.

Judging by Li Yuanba’s age, not exceeding a hundred years, it’s most likely that the ’Invisible Magnetic Divine Ability’ inheritance leaked from the Dongqi Continent.

From the time the ’Invisible Magnetic Divine Ability’ inheritance was lost, it could have only undergone a single divine ability inheritance test. How Li Yuanba, with a Gold Talent, passed the Earth-based ’Invisible Magnetic Divine Ability’ test was beyond Xue Huan’s understanding—further investigation after capturing Li Yuanba with help from the sect was necessary.

Moreover, the whereabouts of the ’Invisible Magnetic Divine Ability’ inheritance had been traced possibly to the Central State Commerce’s Guest Elder, Li Shizhen. This intelligence was obtained from the Yuqing Sect.

The Yuqing Sect was crazily investigating Li Shizhen through various transactions, trying to uncover his location.

Outsiders might not know, but the White Emperor Sect understood that the reason for Yuqing Sect’s frenzied actions was only the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’.

Since the Yuqing Sect’s ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ likely ended up in Li Shizhen’s hands, the White Emperor Sect’s ’Invisible Magnetic Divine Ability’ inheritance was probably also with Li Shizhen.

Thus deducing, there might be some connection between Li Yuanba and Li Shizhen.

The more Xue Huan thought, the more plausible it seemed. He was eager to go back and report.

Just then, the Great Ability Life-saving Shield on him dissipated, marking the end of his strongest defense.

He didn’t mind too much, casually tossing a Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Mountain Treasure above his head, which emitted a strong force field, adding another layer of defense around him.
