Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1331: Chapter 712: Sect Gate

Through the positioning of drone satellites over the two resource points of the great cultivators, Li Yuanba could track the movements of the two great cultivators from the Qianren Sect.

Of course, this relies on the premise that these two great cultivators won’t hide their traces and outsmart the drone satellite surveillance.

In the cultivation world, concealment techniques can easily fool drone satellite surveillance. However, the concealment methods habitually used by cultivators are geared towards cultivation techniques, without precautions against technological means of surveillance.

Li Yuanba appeared twice outside the two great cultivator resource points, each time carefully controlling the distance. He would retreat only after alarming the great cultivators.

The advantage of doing so was to maintain pressure on the two great cultivator resource points, forcing the two great cultivators to temporarily remain in place.

After ending one appearance, he used ’A Step to the Ends of the World’ to head towards the vicinity of the Qianren Sect mountain gate.

This time, he targeted an ordinary resource point about three thousand miles outside the Qianren Sect mountain gate, guarded by only a Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner.

He launched an attack on this resource point, maintaining his strength and applying enough pressure to the point, just like before.

This location was so close to the Qianren Sect mountain gate that when the last great cultivator within the mountain gate came to the rescue, Li Yuanba withdrew immediately upon noticing the approach.

This great cultivator could not stay there, merely left instructions before returning to the mountain gate.

Then, two hours later, another resource point, five thousand miles away from the Qianren Sect mountain gate, was attacked, prompting the great cultivator to set out for rescue once again.

Subsequently, at intervals, a resource point would be attacked, which caused the great cultivator to move continuously, feeling exhausted from running around.

The great cultivator was extremely furious, sensing provocation, and the greatest annoyance was that Li Yuanba displayed modest combat power, but was adept at escaping.

He understood that the best way to catch Li Yuanba would be to set a trap and wait for Li Yuanba to step into it.

He studied Li Yuanba’s patterns of action and discovered Li Yuanba’s attacking pattern; whether by convenience or not, it seemed to follow the order of resource points on the map.

The great cultivator waited for Li Yuanba at the resource point likely to be attacked next, not realizing that though this was over four thousand miles from the Qianren Sect’s mountain gate, the sky’s drone satellites could still be effective.

The great cultivator considered himself clever, but it was, in fact, Li Yuanba’s scheme.

Based on the analysis of the personalities of the three great cultivators provided by the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion Intelligence Department, the strategy was specifically devised for this great cultivator.

Four thousand miles may seem far, but for a great cultivator, it only takes a short time to return to the Qianren Sect mountain gate.

Thus, the great cultivator trusted and left the mountain gate, relying on the security of their own mountain gate.

For the past five thousand years, even as the Qianren Sect declined, no cultivator has been able to infiltrate the Qianren Sect mountain gate.

As the great cultivator was heading towards the resource point and had yet to reach it, Li Yuanba already used ’A Step to the Ends of the World’ to head to the Qianren Sect mountain gate.

The Qi Refining cultivator controlled by the soul was already waiting outside the Grotto Heaven defense barrier.

Li Yuanba appeared beside the Qi Refining cultivator, his silhouette flashed as he entered a Corpse Refining Bag, and simultaneously switched himself to a corpse refining state.

At this point, the Qi Refining cultivator was devoid of independent consciousness, fully controlled by Li Yuanba.

He returned to the mountain gate, using his own Identity Jade Disc to pass through the Mountain Gate Formation.

The Mountain Gate Formation naturally had to scan him entirely, even scanning the Corpse Refining Bag.

Although it was strange for a Qi Refining Cultivator to carry a Corpse Refining Bag containing a Golden Corpse, it was quite normal for the Mountain Gate Formation.

Regardless of the level of the refined corpse, as long as it resides in a Corpse Refining Bag, it is under the control of a cultivator.

The Qi Refining cultivator returned to his abode, released the Golden Corpse from the Corpse Refining Bag, and subsequently fainted.

Li Yuanba switched back to human form, he didn’t kill the Qi Refining cultivator.

The time the Qi Refining cultivator spent back at the sect carried out a lot of actions.

Though due to the low status of the Qi Refining cultivator within the sect, many areas were inaccessible, but through distant observation and activating ’Divine Vision’, Li Yuanba could match the Qianren Sect’s internal environment with the related intelligence from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion Intelligence Department.

What most concerned Li Yuanba was indeed the Qianren Sect’s Grotto Heaven.

Having seen numerous large and super sects, he knew that the true treasures of these sects resided within the Grotto Heaven.

Based on the previous observations by the Qi Refining cultivator and intelligence from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, he deduced the location of the Grotto Heaven entry.

"IBMz15, help me calculate the time needed for the Qianren Sect great cultivator to return?" He reached out to his original body Li Shiming’s life-bound magic treasure IBMz15, posing a question.

He shared data from the drone satellites, which were spare ones his original form had handed over to him last time.

If not for the recent progress in research on Li Shiming’s side, succeeding in utilizing the Continent Communication Array to transmit drone satellite data, he might still be unable to conduct surveillance using the drone satellites.

Li Yuanba is not Li Shiming, without IBMz15 to assist with maintaining contact with drone satellites anytime.

This is not within the range of the drone satellite system, but rather an individual drone satellite setup he established, connecting the drone satellite to the Continent Communication Array to transmit information through the network of Communication Arrays across the continent.
