Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1409: Chapter 751: Returning to the Sect

Li Yuanba put the body of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner into a single storage bag. After returning this time, he would hand over this body as part of the mission.

Moreover, he would show this body to his fellow sect members because it was the first time he had ever seen a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner scared to death.

In his brief hundred years of cultivation, not only had he never seen it, but he had never even heard of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner being scared to death.

Performing ‘So Near and Yet So Far’ while using ‘Divine Sight’ to observe the distance, he headed back toward the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

At the Infinite Sect, just as Master Ge Guang fell, the cultivators guarding the Soul Lamp of the sect noticed something amiss.

The Soul Lamp, also known as the Life Lamp, is where some cultivators amongst the sect are willing to leave a trace of their spirit. Once a cultivator falls, the lamp extinguishes, alerting the sect that something has happened to the cultivator.

Because it involves the spirit, not all cultivators would leave their spirit in a Soul Lamp.

The fall of Master Ge Guang was reported through layers. The Infinite Sect had been in a phase of significant development in recent years. Previously, a large number of Nascent Soul Mid-stage core cultivators had continuously fallen, and now another Great Cultivator has fallen, truly dealing a severe blow to the Infinite Sect.

The Infinite Sect clearly knew what Master Ge Guang was doing; the message brought back by Che Lian was that Li Yuanba had seized the greatest benefit from the Grotto Heaven of Langcai Great Power.

Master Ge Guang was after this benefit; the wealth left by a Great Power in the Grotto Heaven would be worth a Great Cultivator’s effort.

“What exactly did Li Yuanba obtain from Langcai Great Power’s Grotto Heaven that even Master Ge Guang fell into his hands?” That was the thought of the Infinite Sect.

Although these events were extremely embarrassing for the Infinite Sect,

The fact that Master Ge Guang, a Great Cultivator of the Infinite Sect, was slain by Li Yuanba was something the sect would normally strive to conceal.

But considering causing more trouble for Li Yuanba, and the fact that the fall of Master Ge Guang could not be concealed for long even if they wanted to, the Infinite Sect announced the news.

Many forces, upon receiving this news, first confirmed that during the time Li Yuanba and Master Ge Guang fought, the Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion was not active in that region.

Some intelligence agents went to the battlefield for investigation and confirmed only the traces of Li Yuanba’s battle.

In the battle between Li Yuanba and Master Ge Guang, for some unknown reason, Master Ge Guang did not launch even a single attack. There were no attack traces from Master Ge Guang at the scene, serving as proof.

The news first spread on the Central State Continent, saying that Li Yuanba had obtained a treasure from Langcai Great Power’s Grotto Heaven capable of killing a Great Cultivator.

The impact of this news was that nearly all forces wanted to target Li Yuanba. Everyone knew that obtaining the treasure in Li Yuanba’s possession could significantly boost a force’s combat power.

Li Yuanba returned to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, displaying the body of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner, completing the mission.

When he returned to his cave abode, he received news of his master, Jian Wuwei’s arrival.

He opened the Formation of the cave abode and welcomed his master, Jian Wuwei, inside.

“Master, is there something you need?” Li Yuanba asked after inviting Jian Wuwei to sit down.

Jian Wuwei had been in a semi-seclusion recently, to quickly catch up with his disciple, he had been cultivating extremely diligently.

Jian Wuwei was different from Li Yuanba; when in Beishu Continent, Jian Wuwei experienced many battles and had a deep control over Sword Intent.

Although he had just started mastering ‘Void Breaker Sword Intent,’ but with his foundation, he didn’t need much experience for the time being, mainly focusing on cultivating the method.

Usually, even if there was something, he would send a message to Li Yuanba, and Li Yuanba would visit Jian Wuwei’s cave abode.

“Is it true that you encountered Master Ge Guang?” Jian Wuwei asked solemnly.

“How did Master know?” Li Yuanba was very curious; the battle with Master Ge Guang was just yesterday, and when returning, he intentionally took a longer route to avoid possible ambushes, and spent more time reflecting on the battle along the way.

Even so, Master Jian Wuwei shouldn’t have known about that battle, he was sure no other cultivators saw it besides the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner scared to death.

The battle occurred in the space of the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree,’ and the outside world couldn’t detect the occurrence of the battle.

“The news from the Infinite Sect said you used a treasure obtained from Langcai Great Power’s Grotto Heaven to slay Master Ge Guang!” Jian Wuwei said gravely.

He was worried for Li Yuanba. The Infinite Sect disregarding face and spreading such news had extremely sinister intentions.

Li Yuanba was momentarily at a loss for how to respond. He didn’t want to deceive his Master Jian Wuwei. In the entire Cultivation World, if he were to speak of the practitioner he trusted the most, it would be Master Jian Wuwei.

“I did indeed fall into Master Ge Guang’s trap, and indeed, Master Ge Guang has fallen!” Li Yuanba thought for a moment and said.

“Who killed him?” Jian Wuwei pressed on.

He wanted to know the truth to help clear Li Yuanba’s name through the Intelligence Department of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Otherwise, Li Yuanba would never be able to go out again, and even inside the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, it would be hard to ensure that no Sword Cultivator would succumb to the temptation of the treasure capable of slaying a Great Cultivator and make a move against Li Yuanba.

“I killed him!” Li Yuanba still answered honestly.
