Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1346: Chapter 719: Collection (Part 2)

He immediately took out more than a dozen Forbidden Spirit Talismans and directly placed them into the soul crystal ring, landing on the hull of the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’.

At this time, the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ was in a reduced state within the soul crystal ring, almost completely covered by the dozen or so Forbidden Spirit Talismans.

Still uneasy, he took out a Forbidden Spirit Jade Box and placed the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ inside it.

It was a pity that Li Shiming was not here, otherwise, he would most want to store the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ in Li Shiming’s machine room space, which is the safest place.

Having done all this, he then began to examine other Spiritual Objects.

Master Shi Dong was out for battle, aside from four types of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, there were just some miscellaneous items.

He had no interest in Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, as they were only four-grade low and Intermediate Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, and even if he reached the Great Cultivator Realm, he would not consume this level of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills.

"Found it!" Among a pile of miscellaneous items, he discovered a jade token.

The jade token was singled out because it had an ancient aura, with ancient runes inscribed on it.

When he took the jade token out, he found a trace of remaining spirit aura on it, which was a remnant of the spirit imprint left inside the jade token after Master Shi Dong’s demise.

After some time, the last trace of spirit imprint belonging to Master Shi Dong will completely dissipate from the jade token.

Li Yuanba cast a Master Recognition Technique onto the jade token, and as he made a connection with it, he discovered that this jade token was the entry token to this great hall.

He also realized that Master Shi Dong had not found this great hall by chance.

The Stonebreaker Peak lacked Spiritual Energy and was a destroyed peak, neither cultivators nor mortals would have any intentions towards such a peak.

Except for someone like Li Yuanba, who had spatial abilities and an IBMz15 capable of analyzing and determining the hall’s entry by space movement via a trace of formation aura, even if cultivators knew of the hall’s existence here, they could not enter.

Li Yuanba was fortunate, as the great hall had endured for many years and, if not for the inability to replenish Spiritual Energy and repair the damaged ancient spatial formation runes, he too would not have been able to enter using the Divine Foot Skill’s spatial movement.

Unfortunately, this token was merely an entry token, not one to control the great hall, preventing him from fully mastering it.

With his mind, he issued a command to the token, and a beam of light flashed as he reappeared outside from the great hall.

The small great hall was hovering in the air, and fortunately, no cultivator passed by during this period to see such a form of the great hall.

He tried, finding the hall couldn’t be stored into the soul crystal ring.

"Let’s call it the Treasure Lotus Hall!" He named the hall, putting it into his bosom.

Fortunately, the Treasure Lotus Hall was not too large, otherwise, if he wanted to take it away, he would have to carry it in his hands.

At this moment, he sensed his Identity Jade Disc trembling, knowing that a cultivator was sending him a message.

He took out the Identity Jade Disc, finding many messages on it, initially sent by Lou Wu multiple times, then by Great Cultivator Lou.

He noted a strange phenomenon, a blank period on the jade disc’s messages. Apart from communication information, the jade disc also had much intelligence-sharing information: as long as his Identity Jade Disc was within range, a blank period shouldn’t occur.

He pinpointed the time without information as precisely when he entered the Treasure Lotus Hall.

"Could it be that the Treasure Lotus Hall has a shielding effect?" He couldn’t help speculating.

The Identity Jade Disc’s communication relies on the Communication Array spread across the entire continent, normally receiving information automatically unless manually shut off.

Only in the deep oceans, where Communication Array coverage is missing, does an inability to receive messages occur.

Not even storage spaces can block information transmission; this technology has long been sophisticated, with cultivators normally communicating via Identity Jade Discs or communication tokens.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanba placed Master Shi Dong’s soul crystal ring inside the Treasure Lotus Hall.

He hoped the Treasure Lotus Hall could block the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’s connection with its master. Previously, due to incomplete ancient spatial formation runes, the hall might have been unable to function fully, but now, with the Great Cultivator Spirit Vein’s Spiritual Energy, the hall was rejuvenated.

Having done all this, he proceeded to see why Lou Wu and Great Cultivator Lou were looking for him.

Both Lou Wu and Great Cultivator Lou’s messages were about the same matter: urging him to return to the base.

Particularly, the message from Great Cultivator Lou was an urgent summons using the highest urgency protocol.

Upon receiving this urgent summons, one must return immediately.

Li Yuanba checked the time, realizing there was still time before the urgent summons’ final deadline.

He hesitated no longer, using the ’Teleportation Technique’ to head towards the base where Great Cultivator Lou was stationed.

This time, unlike his previous recklessness, he chose a more cautious approach after knowing many cultivators were searching for him.

Just like when he was weaker, his figure appeared and disappeared in the ground’s blind spots with cover.

This ’Teleportation Technique’ required him to expend more energy, using ’Divine Sight’ to check the terrain and environment ahead, and scanning relatively close distance with Divine Sense.

The benefit of such caution was that no cultivators detected his presence along the way.

Thinking back to last time, he was discovered because he kept using the ’Teleportation Technique’ in the air, a movement method easily recognized by those aware of his mastery of the Divine Foot Skill.

As Li Yuanba approached the base, he noticed a rare calm between it and the temporary base of the White Emperor Sect opposite.

Previously, this area was a battleground for the Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and the White Emperor Sect, almost never ceasing conflict.

He didn’t know what had happened, but he realized something was definitely amiss.

Upon reaching the base, he let out a sigh of relief, discovering nearly all the Sword Cultivators were present, enveloped in Great Cultivator Lou’s aura.

This brought him a sense of security, regardless of what happened, at least the base hadn’t encountered any accidents.

"Master Li, you’re finally back. We have to leave in three periods!" Great Cultivator Lou had maintained a constant aura presence, and sensed Li Yuanba’s return, meeting him upfront to speak.

"Where are we going to leave for?" Li Yuanba was stunned by Great Cultivator Lou’s words, asking in puzzlement.

"Of course, we’re heading back to the Central State Continent!" Great Cultivator Lou replied with a smile.

"Wasn’t there supposed to be a second wave of reinforcements?" Li Yuanba was still somewhat puzzled, remembering the sect’s mission briefing, although significant achievements had been made, the predetermined mission goals hadn’t been fully met.

"Intelligence from the Intelligence Department indicates the White Emperor Sect has allied with the Yuqing Sect, and their three Great Cultivators attacked Master Teng, severely wounding him, prompting the pavilion to demand our immediate withdrawal!" Great Cultivator Lou didn’t hide the details from Li Yuanba, explaining the situation.

Li Yuanba was taken aback, not understanding why the White Emperor Sect would escalate the conflict to the Great Cultivator level, dragging in the Yuqing Sect.

Knowing the cost of involving Yuqing Sect would not be small.

Getting Yuqing Sect to act against the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, such a belligerent superpower, even if they defeat it, the benefits won’t suffice to compensate Yuqing Sect’s fees.

"Is Master Teng okay?" Li Yuanba asked further.

He wasn’t particularly familiar with Master Teng, only having seen him from a distance when leaving with the mission from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

"His injuries are severe but not life-threatening!" Great Cultivator Lou replied solemnly.
