Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1324: Chapter 708: Arrival (Part 2)

Li Yuanba also arrived at the window and saw the distant land.

At that moment, when cultivators in the distance discovered the long-distance flying boat and were about to fly over, Great Cultivator Lou sent out a flash of sword light.

The sword light floated in the air, a mark of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s Jian Family, and the terrifying Sword Intent made the distant cultivators sense danger, turning away immediately.

This sword light also informed the Beiyan Continent that the Sword Cultivators of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had arrived.

The long-distance flying boat crossed the coastline, continuing to fly inland without pausing.

During the subsequent voyage, there were always some Nascent Soul Cultivators following from afar, presumably to monitor them.

As they did not approach the long-distance flying boat, Great Cultivator Lou did not bother with them.

The long-distance flying boat arrived at a spot that should be the mountain gate of some power.

When Li Yuanba followed the many Sword Cultivators off the long-distance flying boat, he noticed that there were no other cultivators at this mountain gate, only a few Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators who had arrived earlier.

Li Yuanba, seeing some battle marks at this mountain gate, understood that it must have been robbed.

This very much aligned with the conduct of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, which was not good at construction but excelled in robbery.

With a foothold established, the first to open was the mission area. Previously on the Central State Continent, there were no specific missions, but here he saw actual tasks.

Li Yuanba was with other Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators, watching the missions for their stage together.

"Yuanba, seems like we won’t need to cooperate for now!" Wu Qi said to Li Yuanba with a smile as he looked at the task list.

Li Yuanba also saw that even though the tasks were for Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators, they were not particularly difficult.

The main issue was that there were too many task targets. Even though this was the main base of the White Emperor Sect, it couldn’t effectively protect its foundations all over the Beiyan Continent.

The task for Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators was to rob the valuable holdings of the White Emperor Sect.

"Then we’ll cooperate when the need arises!" Li Yuanba replied with a smile.

He had already determined his first combat mission, which was a large market belonging to the White Emperor Sect.

Markets of this size generally had Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners stationed, but powerful ones usually wouldn’t want to stay in such chaotic places as it affected their cultivation.

Instead, places like resource points were more peaceful for cultivation when guarded.

As Li Yuanba used Sword Escape to fly out of the temporary base, he saw a hundred beams of sword light leaving at the same time.

Sword Cultivators were experienced in robbery; with so many targets, they could easily choose a task or even take on multiple tasks without much consideration and set off.

Li Yuanba couldn’t help but shake his head. If the White Emperor Sect didn’t have any countermeasures, they would be in big trouble.

Being a Sword Cultivator of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion himself, he understood their way of operating.

Previously on the Central State Continent, the White Emperor Sect had aggressively clashed with Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

If it weren’t for Great Cultivator Luo Pei slaughtering the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the White Emperor Sect, their decision might not have been a problem, as they constantly clashed with Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion on the Central State Continent without help.

Furthermore, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had few resource points, relying mainly on robbery for resources.

Once the White Emperor Sect tied down Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, preventing their free looting of resources, over time, their resources would dwindle.

When a superpower’s resources dry up, the loyalty of its cultivators to the superpower diminishes, and some may leave due to the lack of resources.

However, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion finally freed their hands, and after arriving at the West Yan Continent, the situation took a completely different turn.

Every Sword Cultivator’s eyes were bloodshot; on the Central State Continent, no superpower’s foundation could be robbed at will.

In the Beiyan Continent, the White Emperor Sect had been operating for countless years, with large and small foundations everywhere, including resource points, markets, and subordinate sects.

The war between Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and the White Emperor Sect was far from over, but it was following the Cultivation World’s rules, and other superpowers in the Beiyan Continent wouldn’t interfere.

Li Yuanba was not new to robbery, and the intelligence department of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion was very efficient, marking all of the White Emperor Sect’s foundations in the West Yan Continent clearly on maps, allowing him to find targets based on the markers.

After using Sword Escape for some distance, he switched to ’Inch by Inch, Heaven and Earth Away’.

This greatly increased his speed, and he was well aware that the first attack was the best chance to rob the White Emperor Sect.

Once the White Emperor Sect was on guard, it would be much harder to loot anything valuable.

Although the White Emperor Sect couldn’t protect all its holdings, moving or hiding precious Spiritual Objects wasn’t difficult.

After flying for two hours, he arrived outside the market.

The market was evidently not alerted; it was still operating as usual.

A faint smile appeared on Li Yuanba’s face, but it was a rather cold one.

He activated ’Inch by Inch, Heaven and Earth Away’ to reach the market’s exterior, where he cast a spell to open a path through the market’s formation.

This was a universal spell for the market; unless there were special events prohibiting certain cultivators’ entry, the entry and exit spell would remain unchanged.

His ’Godly Eye’ opened, allowing him to see the Spiritual Power patterns of the formation here.

He transmitted this information to his main body, where the IBMz15 processed and analyzed it.

Once he entered the market, the IBMz15 had thoroughly analyzed the formation.

As Li Yuanba entered the market, preparing to make trouble, a voice sounded in the sky above the market.

"This market will close in thirty minutes. Fellow Daoists, please exit the market promptly!"

The White Emperor Sect’s response was swift; while some resource points couldn’t be defended against a Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion attack, commercial holdings like this could avoid losses.

Temporarily closing the market would prevent Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s Sword Cultivators from staying indefinitely on the Beiyan Continent, and after the ordeal, the market could reopen.

Although closing the market would incur some losses, they were minuscule compared to being robbed by Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s Sword Cultivators.

The cultivators who heard the voice didn’t know what was happening, but they sensed something major was afoot at the market.

They prepared to leave, and at that moment, they saw a sword light shooting toward the central building of the market.

Li Yuanba, very familiar with the market’s formation, followed the flow direction of the Spiritual Power pattern to find the formation’s core.

The core of the formation normally housed the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner overseeing the market, as getting closer to it facilitated better control of the formation.

The market’s formation, apart from isolating and protecting the market from the outside, also monitored the market’s interior through it.

To prevent cultivators from causing trouble in the market, a powerful cultivator had to constantly sense the market’s conditions through the formation and respond promptly to any incidents.

The more organized the market, the better the safety.

Without a safe environment, a market couldn’t operate.

"How fast he comes!" the Guardian Cultivator remarked deeply upon sensing Li Yuanba’s attack.

He perceived Li Yuanba’s actions through the formation, thus was not caught off guard.

He activated the formation, condensing its power outside the central building, forming a formation barrier.

Simultaneously, he activated an earth-based defense treasure and an earth defense technique, taking no chances as the enemy was a Sword Cultivator; against such, reinforcing his defenses was far from excessive.
