Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1332: Chapter 712: Sect Gate (Part 2)

The Continent Communication Array is a vast system jointly established by many forces, almost an open and transparent system.

As Li Shiming came into contact with higher levels of the Cultivation World, the Continent Communication Array also became open to him. He connected the Communication Array with the drone satellites, initially intending to use it for backup data transmission.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanba utilized it effectively on the West Yan Continent, enabling him to monitor three Great Cultivators with just three independent drone satellites.

The IBMz15 provided a result that the shortest return time for a Great Cultivator four thousand miles away was forty breaths.

This was calculated based on the maximum speed of the Great Cultivators that Li Shiming and Li Yuanba had encountered, and the actual return time should be longer.

He didn’t believe that the Great Cultivators of Qianren Sect could match the speed of those from superpowers, but he still used forty breaths as the baseline.

Li Yuanba was situated within a Qi Refining Cultivator’s cave mansion, needing to minimize the risk of being discovered.

Although, within the entire Qianren Sect Mountain Gate, without the presence of Great Cultivators, he could guarantee that he was the strongest.

However, the later he was discovered, the more time he would have.

He flashed out of the cave mansion, activating ’Divine Eye’ and ’Telepathy.’

’Divine Eye’ allowed him to clearly see all arrays around him, while ’Telepathy’ was more terrifying, affecting a radius of two thousand meters centered on him, impacting anyone other than a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

The area he was in was an area for lower-level cultivators, where there were many of them.

Despite not using Invisibility, under the influence of ’Telepathy,’ all these low-level cultivators ignored his presence.

The low-level cultivator area of the Qianren Sect Mountain Gate was situated at the outermost part, with each inward layer being distributed according to the cultivators’ realms, the closer to the center, the higher the realms.

At the central region were Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners, while Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners were in the Grotto Heaven.

This was also the distribution method for most sect cultivators, a method refined over tens of thousands of years, almost unchanged by any sect.

Li Yuanba proceeded inward all the way to the vicinity of the central region without encountering any trouble.

He stood outside the Nascent Soul Cultivators’ area, where his ’Telepathy’ retracted; although his Spirit could completely suppress Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners, ’Telepathy’ could definitely impact them.

However, there were quite a few Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners here; while his Spirit could use ’Telepathy’ to influence up to ten Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners at once, more would be beyond his capability.

Only the main body, Li Shiming, with his one hundred ninety-one brains, could use ’Telepathy’ to affect the Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners in the central region, and that’s if there were no Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners in this area.

So, Li Yuanba chose not to use ’Telepathy,’ but prepared to take it by force.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he retrieved ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak,’ and Sword Intent surged from his body.

He channeled a ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Skill into the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ and then threw it above his head.

In an instant, a bizarre force field covered a radius of one thousand meters, encompassing both the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ and gravity fields.

"Release all swords!" he then shouted in a deep voice.

From within ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak,’ tens of thousands of energy-converted flying swords flew out, but that wasn’t the end. He also activated the ’Sanmei Divine Wind’ Divine Skill, filling a radius of one thousand meters around his body with ’Sanmei Divine Sand.’

In the blink of an eye, he completed all actions, with the abnormal energy fluctuations causing the Qianren Sect Mountain Gate Formation to alarm frantically.

And in his consciousness, a countdown from his main body, Li Shiming, came through.

"40, 39, 38..." The countdown was reminding him of the remaining time.

’Shrinking the Ground to an Inch’ activated, his figure appeared within the Nascent Soul Early Stage area, where ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ enveloped the cave mansions of eleven Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners.

These Nascent Soul Early Stage cave mansions were equipped with Defensive Arrays, but under the assault of tens of thousands of energy-converted flying swords and ’Sanmei Divine Sand,’ they didn’t last even a breath, with the cave mansions’ Defensive Arrays breaking open.

Some cave mansions had Nascent Soul Cultivators, others didn’t, but it didn’t matter, as whether or not there were Nascent Soul Cultivators didn’t affect his actions.

At the moment the cave mansion’s defenses were breached, tens of thousands of energy-converted flying swords and ’Sanmei Divine Sand’ poured in, annihilating the unsuspecting Nascent Soul Cultivators.

These Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners couldn’t have imagined that, in what they considered the safest sect, their own cave mansions would have their Defensive Arrays forcibly broken and be assaulted.

Li Yuanba was not doing this to kill the Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners; his goal was to find the Grotto Heaven entrance.

Eliminating Nascent Soul Cultivators under ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ was merely incidental.

He only paused for a breath in one spot, immediately moving to the next using ’Shrinking the Ground to an Inch’ when he didn’t find the Grotto Heaven entrance.

He had previously speculated about the possible location of the Grotto Heaven entrance, though not its exact location.

Four breaths later, once he enveloped a radius of one thousand meters again, he discovered the presence of the Grotto Heaven entrance.

During this process, nearly sixty Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Qianren Sect fell.

At this point, the Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners who’d reacted flew out of their cave mansions, aware of the invasion by a formidable enemy, they sent messages to other Nascent Soul Cultivators and started forming arrays to protect themselves.

By now, the information from the drone satellite monitoring showed Li Yuanba that the Great Cultivator had left his hidden resource point and was heading towards the sect.

Just then, the IBMz15, based on real-time data, provided the most accurate arrival time for the Great Cultivator, at forty-six breaths.

Within a palace under the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ coverage, a spatial gate glimmered with light.

The palace’s formation had been forcibly breached by the ’Sanmei Divine Wind’ and energy-converted flying swords, making a forceful attack the fastest approach.

Li Yuanba’s figure flashed, appearing before the spatial gate by the use of ’Shrinking the Ground to an Inch.’

Without any hesitation, he stepped into the spatial gate.

As space transformed, he appeared on a plain, where a massive amount of Spiritual Medicine was planted, though most were second and third-grade, their sheer number stretched beyond sight.

Even if the value of second and third-grade Spiritual Medicine was lower, the quantity compensated for it.

However, he was not interested in these second and third-grade Spiritual Medicine, feeling that the Qianren Sect was wasting them.

In the sect Grotto Heavens he had seen, none had been used in such a way, even when planting Spiritual Medicine, they would strive to plant the relatively higher-value Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicine.

The main purpose of a Grotto Heaven was to assist the sect’s elite cultivators in their training.

Utilizing a Grotto Heaven to create value was not cost-effective.

Since the Spiritual Energy generated by a Grotto Heaven is limited, and the growth of Spirit Plants consumes Spiritual Energy, spending limited Spiritual Energy on a large number of Spirit Plants reduces the Spiritual Energy available for cultivators’ training.

Presumably, Qianren Sect had its own reasons for using the Grotto Heaven in such a manner.

As soon as Li Yuanba entered the Grotto Heaven, he expanded his perception, prepared to retreat instantly if the Grotto Heaven’s controller was present, given his proximity to the Grotto Heaven’s exit.

Whether a Grotto Heaven had a controller or not was a completely different concept.

With a controller, the Grotto Heaven would restrict his movements and suppress him.

This was why he went to great lengths to lure all three Great Cultivators away from the Qianren Sect Mountain Gate.

He didn’t believe the Qianren Sect would hand over control of the Grotto Heaven to a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator, it would definitely be in the hands of a Great Cultivator.

With the Great Cultivators absent from the sect, there would be no controller in the Grotto Heaven.
