Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1513: Chapter 803: The Plan

When the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ appeared on Li Shiming’s fingertip, all the hair on Grandmaster Hu’s body stood on end.

Grandmaster Hu’s reaction was quite normal given the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ that could pose a deadly threat. If the person in front of him wasn’t his disciple Li Shiming, he would either turn around and flee, or go all out with an attack.

"In my lifetime, I have seen many powerful sword cultivators. Your Sword Intent is much stronger than any I’ve seen before, and I even feel that my defense is utterly inadequate in front of this Sword Intent!" Grandmaster Hu said with lingering fear as he looked at Li Shiming’s fingertip where the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ had disappeared.

"I have some talent in the path of sword cultivation, and have had some fortuitous encounters, obtaining a complete sword cultivation heritage!" Li Shiming explained vaguely, unwilling to reveal the truth.

"Since you place both Thunder Cultivation and Sword Cultivation together, I believe your thunder cultivation prowess is no weaker than your sword cultivation, right?" Grandmaster Hu shook his head with a bitter smile and asked.

He was certain that Li Shiming had indeed come across significant fortuitous encounters outside, but for one person to possess both sword cultivation and thunder cultivation and to have advanced both to the Great Cultivator Realm was beyond his imagination.

Back when Li Shiming was in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he had trained in sword cultivation and thunder cultivation, but at that time, sword cultivation and thunder cultivation were entirely different concepts compared to the Great Cultivator level of sword and thunder cultivation.

Ordinary cultivators, when advancing to the Great Cultivator, usually choose one rule as their path.

Yet, Li Shiming had clearly chosen both sword cultivation and thunder cultivation paths simultaneously, and had succeeded.

Li Shiming smiled as he extended a finger, with lightning dancing on the fingertip.

Though the lightning was minuscule, Grandmaster Hu instinctively stepped back.

The previous Sword Intent had a strong directed focus; as long as it wasn’t aimed at Grandmaster Hu, he would at most feel threatened.

But lightning was different; it was energy that could explode scatteredly at any time.

Don’t underestimate the small size of the lightning, for Grandmaster Hu could sense the rule power within it, and lightning carrying rule power could produce astounding effects regardless of its size.

Currently, he was in a completely unprotected state. Being affected by the residual waves of lightning wouldn’t cause injury, but he would undoubtedly lose face in front of his disciple.

"It seems your abilities don’t require any worry from me!" After understanding a part of Li Shiming’s real strength, Grandmaster Hu’s inner concerns vanished.

At this time, Grandmaster Hu felt as though he had aged, seeing the new generation of cultivators not only growing up but also surpassing him.

Li Shiming did not understand Grandmaster Hu’s thoughts; he resumed analyzing the intelligence reports.

Currently, the White Emperor Sect’s undertaking in the Dongqi Continent is going much more smoothly than the invasion decades ago. At least, the White Emperor Sect has established multiple bases on the Dongqi Continent, and they even include some resource points.

This allows the White Emperor Sect’s bases to become almost self-sufficient, without needing resource shipments from the West Yan Continent. In the long term, these bases could even reverse that flow, sending resources back to the White Emperor Sect in the West Yan Continent.

Of course, for that to happen, the White Emperor Sect must occupy a significant number of resource points on the Dongqi Continent, and just taking a piece from the wealth of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect would suffice.

Yuqing Sect occupies fewer resource points and has only one base.

This time, the White Emperor Sect changed their strategy in the invasion, targeting only the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and somehow persuaded the Three Major Sects. The Three Major Sects believe that the White Emperor Sect will not make a move against them.

Li Shiming decided to first strike the White Emperor Sect hard, weakening the influence of outside continental forces, before dealing with the other Three Major Sects.

Regarding the Three Major Sects, he genuinely doesn’t care much about those Great Cultivators, but considering that these Three Major Sects are backed by super forces, his actions need careful planning.

To achieve a kill-shot, fighting a prolonged war against the Three Major Sects is absolutely inadvisable, as it might draw reinforcements from the super forces behind them.

"There is some intelligence I need to share with you!" Grandmaster Hu spoke up at this point.

"Master, is it about me?" Li Shiming raised his head from his thoughts and asked.

Since returning, his interests in intelligence reports principally focus on those regarding the White Emperor Sect and Yuqing Sect, having spent time in the Book Collection Pavilion.

He hadn’t paid attention to other intelligence, though he was entitled to access all intelligence.

"The Three Major Sects are investigating your activities on the Central State Continent. Once your details are fully probed, it might be the time they initiate an attack on the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s mountain gate! Previously, the Three Major Sects awaited my injuries to worsen, knowing Zhang Dansheng’s life span was limited, they sealed off the Ten Thousand Beast Sect for decades and planned to attack only after I and Zhang Dansheng are gone, ensuring minimal losses.

Your emergence obviously disrupts the layout of the Three Major Sects. You and Great Cultivator Luo Pei represent two Great Cultivators. They are unaware that my injuries have healed completely, but even so, their strategy to wait out the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s decline is futile. They plan a direct assault on the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s mountain gate.

However, due to needing to first ascertain your activities and negotiate details with the White Emperor Sect and Yuqing Sect, they have yet to act immediately!" Grandmaster Hu divulged the latest state of affairs.

Li Shiming is aware of the difficulty in breaking into the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s mountain gate. Although the outermost Grotto Heaven’s spatial isolation defenses cannot stop the Great Cultivator’s assault, the Sect Formation of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect is no mere decoration.

The Sect Formation of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect can at least enhance the strength of its Great Cultivators significantly, especially in terms of defense.
