Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1363: Chapter 728: Captured

Li Yuanba left the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, carrying the alchemical ingredients he had collected recently, which included materials for three furnaces of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills.

His trip this time was to find Li Shiming and deliver the materials for the three furnaces of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, so that Li Shiming could refine them.

The materials for Great Cultivator Spirit Pills are extremely rare, considering the future needs of himself and his original body Li Shiming, if there’s an opportunity to refine Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, it’s best to have them all refined by Li Shiming.

It’s important to note that when Li Yuanba and Li Shiming advance to the Great Cultivator Realm, the number of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills needed will be astonishing.

Li Yuanba himself is just fine as he only needs to supply himself.

But Li Shiming is different, he has five Nascent Souls in his body, with each Nascent Soul equating to one cultivator, so his demand for Spirit Pills would be equivalent to that of five cultivators.

Because Li Shiming’s location is less than ten thousand miles from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, such a short distance makes it feel like he’s just wandering at the door, so he didn’t use ’Divine Foot Skill,’ instead he used Sword Escape Flight.

While flying over the sea, Li Yuanba was still pondering about the intent of the sword. The newly acquired Top-grade Fourth-Grade Flying Sword, which contains the ’Annihilation Sword Intent,’ has already been integrated into ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak.’

The sword intent within ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ can be clearly perceived by him.

He extended his hand, and a faint sword intent flickered on his fingertips.

This was precisely ’Annihilation Sword Intent,’ the ’Annihilation Sword Intent’ of Master Teng.

But he had sensed the ’Annihilation Sword Intent’ for too short a time and still couldn’t apply it in combat; for now, he had only grasped its basics.

Yet this was already quite remarkable, as ’Annihilation Sword Intent’ was one of the most top-tier sword intents of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

The more superior a sword intent is, the harder it is to grasp, and few sword cultivators would simultaneously cultivate multiple top-tier sword intents, since to train any top-tier sword intent to perfection requires comprehending the rules contained within that sword intent.

Cultivators have limited life spans and cannot afford to spend time on multiple top-tier sword intents, as comprehending the rules of just one top-tier sword intent is exceedingly difficult.

If one were too greedy, the greatest likelihood is that they would remain stuck at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage throughout their lifetime.

Li Yuanba’s master is still in closed-door cultivation, so he has no guidance from a master; even if his master Jian Wuwei were to emerge, there’s a high chance he wouldn’t have the qualification to instruct him.

While pondering, he suddenly felt the space around him being enveloped by an electric light.

"Lightning Cage!" Li Yuanba recognized this as a spell from the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture,’ specifically used to trap enemies.

The Lightning Cage traps the enemy within, and due to the interference of the lightning, the enemy loses contact with the outside world.

His reaction was swift, and ’Divine Foot Skill’ was instantly activated.

Ever since being ambushed multiple times, he maintained a ’Divine Foot Skill’ imprint in his spirit, which could be activated with a thought when needed.

However, the ’Divine Foot Skill’ failed to move him out of the ’Lightning Cage,’ and what changed his expression was his perception of the thunder energy comprising the ’Lightning Cage.’

The thunder energy comprising the ’Lightning Cage’ had thunder rules applied to it.

It was exactly due to the application of thunder rules that the effect of the ’Lightning Cage’ was strengthened, rendering his ’Divine Foot Skill’ ineffective.

With the enhancement of thunder rules, the ’Lightning Cage’ acquired the effect of isolating space.

Li Yuanba’s heart sank, knowing this attack was targeted at him, and moreover, it was initiated by a Thunder Cultivator Great Cultivator.

Although he had some combat power, he was still far from being a match for a Thunder Cultivator Great Cultivator.

"Li Yuanba, I’ve been entrusted to take you away!" The figure of Great Cultivator Duan Zhang appeared outside the ’Lightning Cage,’ speaking lightly.

The White Emperor Sect paid a considerable price to enlist his help in capturing Li Yuanba.

To gather intelligence on Li Yuanba, the White Emperor Sect and Yuqing Sect utilized numerous relationships.

The fact proved that with two superpowers collaborating, Li Yuanba, no matter how capable, could not elude their investigation.

Unless Li Yuanba could hide directly like his original body Li Shiming and never show himself.

Although sword cultivators within Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion are difficult to bribe, it doesn’t mean they are absolutely unbribable.

As long as the price is high enough, there will be sword cultivators willing to sell information.

Li Yuanba’s whereabouts were constantly being watched, and the direction and time of his departure from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion were promptly conveyed.

The reason the White Emperor Sect sought help from Great Cultivator Duan Zhang was that currently, any Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect arriving on the Central State Continent would be detected by Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

However, the Yuqing Sect already has a stronghold on the Central State Continent, and Great Cultivator Duan Zhang had been on the Central State Continent lately; with sufficient intelligence support, capturing a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner like Li Yuanba wouldn’t be difficult.

Regarding Li Yuanba’s abilities, the White Emperor Sect gathered quite a bit of information, including Li Yuanba’s danger perception and the space movement ability of the Divine Foot Skill.

Great Cultivator Duan Zhang was just a few thousand miles outside the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. Although this seemed extremely dangerous due to its proximity to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, it was also the safest because Li Yuanba wouldn’t expect an attack here.

The Lightning Cage spell had a somewhat lengthy preparation time, but Great Cultivator Duan Zhang had it already prepared.

Due to Li Yuanba’s flight speed being slightly slower than anticipated, Great Cultivator Duan Zhang almost suspected something had gone awry.
