Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1517: Chapter 805: Primordial Origin

The intelligence department of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect took only two days to locate the missing Great Cultivator of the White Emperor Sect, who did not leave the Dongqi Continent but instead went to the Taichu Sect and was taken in by them.

Li Shiming knew that the Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect would choose the Taichu Sect because, through the cross-continent communication array of the Taichu Sect, contact could be made with the headquarters of the White Emperor Sect on the West Yan Continent.

Originally, the base of the White Emperor Sect already had such an array, but unfortunately, it was destroyed along with the base by Li Shiming.

The Great Cultivator needed to report the situation here to the White Emperor Sect, so he turned to the Taichu Sect.

Due to previous cooperation, the Taichu Sect took in this Great Cultivator and also intentionally kept this news hidden.

However, a spy placed by the Ten Thousand Beast Sect within the Taichu Sect accidentally learned about this and sent the news back to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

During these days back, Li Shiming was not idle.

Since he had been away from the Dongqi Continent for quite some time, the drone satellite system originally deployed in the sky had long exceeded its operational lifespan and self-destructed.

The drone satellite system over the Central State Continent would have been useless during twenty years of closed-door cultivation if not for Li Yuanba’s occasional maintenance and updates.

Over the past few days, Li Shiming launched many drone satellites, which embodied his latest research results.

The standby time of the drone satellites is much longer, and by his estimate, even if he were to leave for a hundred years, they could still function normally.

Previously, the lack of help from the drone satellite system prevented him from tracking the movements of the Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect and the position of the Yuqing Sect’s long-distance flying boat.

Of course, deploying the entire drone satellite system will take some time, but it’s necessary, as he plans to stay on the Dongqi Continent for about a year.

Currently, the drone satellites mainly focus around the vicinity of the three major sects. Although they cannot monitor the situation within the mountain gates of the three major sects, due to the existence of the space-blocking Grotto Heaven, monitoring a thousand miles beyond the mountain gates can indirectly reveal some insights.

Upon receiving the intelligence from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s intelligence department, Li Shiming found his master, Grandmaster Hu.

"I know your intentions. You want to go to the Taichu Sect’s mountain gate, right?" Grandmaster Hu guessed Li Shiming’s plan upon seeing him.

"Yes, I want to use this opportunity to destroy the Taichu Sect’s mountain gate!" Li Shiming nodded in response.

Back when he was only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage and hadn’t mastered the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ and ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ he dared to venture deep into the mountain gates of large sects to cause destruction within their Grotto Heaven.

With his current strength, he doesn’t even need to employ any tactics; he can forcibly break through Taichu Sect’s mountain gate with sheer power.

Just like his treatment of the White Emperor Sect’s base, the base’s formation could, in truth, be silently infiltrated if he wished.

Even though Taichu Sect has a space-blocking Grotto Heaven, it’s not as if he has never had experience sneaking into such large sects and knows how to enter Taichu Sect without being discovered.

However, like his initial thought, he still doesn’t plan to use infiltration this time; he wants all the forces of the Dongqi Continent to know that the Ten Thousand Beast Sect possesses the power to overwhelm the entire Dongqi Continent.

"You must be careful yourself!" Grandmaster Hu wanted to advise him but changed his words halfway through.

Grandmaster Hu thought of Li Shiming’s strength and believed Li Shiming wasn’t lying, indeed possessing the battle power of a Great Cultivator Peak.

With such strength, although Taichu Sect is one of the four major sects of the Dongqi Continent, it cannot be a match for Li Shiming.

The prerequisite naturally is for Li Shiming to respond cautiously, strength is one aspect, and a force like Taichu Sect, having survived for thousands of years, always has some means to deal with powerful existences.

"Master, have the sect prepared, once Taichu Sect is destroyed, the sect can take over Taichu Sect’s influence!" Li Shiming thought for a moment and said.

"We will do it. If you indeed succeed, no force in the Dongqi Continent would dare touch anything left by Taichu Sect!" Grandmaster Hu replied with a smile.

Li Shiming gave a bow to Grandmaster Hu and turned to leave the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Grandmaster Hu watched his departing figure, a smile appearing on his face, feeling the most gratifying event in his life was taking in Li Shiming as his disciple.

Relying on Li Shiming now, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect has gone from struggling on the brink of life and death to having hopes of reclaiming control over the Dongqi Continent, all within just over ten days.

Li Shiming executed ’One Step to Reach,’ appearing every eight thousand miles in the air, being very familiar with Taichu Sect, having visited there as a guest in the past.

Once again arriving a thousand miles away from Taichu Sect, he could sense the barrier of Taichu Sect’s Grotto Heaven.

This Grotto Heaven barrier prevents uninvited cultivators from approaching Taichu Sect’s mountain gate and is the first line of security for Taichu Sect.

Unfortunately, this security measure is of almost no use to a Great Cultivator, its only role being to alert; once the spatial barrier is breached by a Great Cultivator, Taichu Sect would be informed and could react in time.

Li Shiming cares not about Taichu Sect’s reaction; after all, Taichu Sect’s mountain gate is right there, and they cannot escape.

With a wave of his hand, the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ appeared, and he then triggered the ’Thunder Fall Skill,’ a bolt of lightning shot towards the spatial barrier before him.

Even without the support of the machine room space’s ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl,’ this strike opened a gap in the spatial barrier.
