Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1571: Chapter 832: Nearing Home

Li Shiming stayed on the Dongqi Continent for another month, then one day he quietly left the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, departing from the Dongqi Continent.

The only one aware of his departure was Grandmaster Hu, who, for the safety of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, would announce to the outside world that Li Shiming was constantly in seclusion.

Although there were three Great Cultivators from Luanyang Palace guarding, it was uncertain whether any forces would seize the opportunity to cause trouble if the news of Li Shiming, the sect’s foremost fighter, leaving for a distant journey went public.

Li Shiming drove the ’White Emperor Light Cloud Boat,’ a fourth-grade top flying boat, whose speed over the ocean was incredibly fast, allowing it to reach the Beishu Continent in at most a month.

During the days of ocean voyage, he stopped cultivating and instead used this rare leisure time to savor Spiritual Tea and Spirit Fruits while enjoying the sea view.

Possessing the ’Divine Eye Skill,’ his vision extended over eight thousand miles, showing him a panorama entirely different from ordinary cultivators.

Even below the sea surface, he could clearly see dozens of meters deep, where various marine life formed a vibrant display.

Occasionally, spirit beasts swam by in the sea, but they were immediately intimidated by the aura of the Great Cultivator, and turned away from the vicinity of the ’White Emperor Light Cloud Boat.’

As time passed day by day, Li Shiming noticed that as he traveled further north, the Spiritual Energy became increasingly thin.

Under the depletion of Spiritual Energy, the recovery rate of Spiritual Energy in such an environment would significantly decrease, and he even felt the Spiritual Energy within his body becoming somewhat stagnant.

He finally understood why there were no Great Cultivators appearing on the Beishu Continent, and even those who reached Nascent Soul Middle Stage on this land were a very few prodigies.

At the time he was in Beishu, the entire Beishu Continent had only legends of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, with none alive.

Thinking of the time when he decisively left the Beishu Continent, it was that separation from this natural cage that brought him his current achievements.

Time flew by, and when Li Shiming faintly saw the distant land, a familiar sense rose in his heart.

Even without looking at the sea chart, he could confirm the land ahead was the Beishu Continent.

He knew even more that the Beishu Continent had stricter monitoring arrays than other continents, detecting the aura of any Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator approaching.

He did not rush; he slowed down the ’White Emperor Light Cloud Boat,’ patiently waiting for the arrival of the Beishu Continent cultivators while proceeding at a leisurely pace.

It wasn’t long before he saw two figures in the distant sky, appearing and disappearing. He first recognized one of them as Venerable Huike, the Qianye Temple Venerable who mastered the ’Divine Foot Skill.’

Accompanying Venerable Huike was Elder Li from the Senluo Sect, whose name Li Shiming remembered as Li Nuo.

Seeing Li Nuo’s face reminded Li Shiming of some unpleasant memories; it was Li Nuo and Lu Gong who had once forced his avatar Li Yuanba to leave the Senluo Sect.

However, he had no intention of dealing with Li Nuo, as he needed to consider Jian Wuwei’s attitude towards the Senluo Sect.

After all, the Senluo Sect had been Jian Wuwei’s home for many years; Li Shiming was unsure of Jian Wuwei’s attachment, but he didn’t want the matter of a minor Senluo Sect to affect Jian Wuwei’s mood.

Indeed, in Li Shiming’s eyes, the Senluo Sect, and even all sects on the Beishu Continent combined, were mere trifles.

Venerable Huike and Li Nuo approached the ’White Emperor Light Cloud Boat,’ and upon nearing it, the spectacle of such a boat left them stunned.

To a resource-poor continent, seeing a fourth-grade top flying boat, let alone a fourth-grade high-stage flying boat, was unheard of.

Not to mention the terrifying aura perceived from within the ’White Emperor Light Cloud Boat.’

Under the intimidation of this aura, the two Nascent Soul Cultivators felt incapable of standing in the void.

Li Shiming frowned and shook his head, restraining some of his aura.

He realized that the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Beishu Continent were too weak indeed.

He stepped out from the ’White Emperor Light Cloud Boat,’ and looked at the two Nascent Soul Cultivators coolly.

"Which senior..." Li Nuo, bowing, began to inquire, but halfway through his words, he looked up and recognized Li Shiming’s face immediately.

"Are you Master Li?" he asked incredulously.

"Fellow Li, Venerable Huike, it’s been many years!" Li Shiming spoke calmly.

Though he uttered not a word of threat, with that single phrase, the pressure on the two Nascent Soul Cultivators increased significantly, forcing them to bend over.

"Senior Li, why have you come to the Beishu Continent?" Venerable Huike asked after steadying his emotions.

This was their duty, to interrogate any external cultivator.

"Venerable Huike, if I recall correctly, the Beishu Continent does not welcome external cultivators, and I’m a cultivator of Beishu Continent. Is Qianye Temple planning to cast me out of Beishu Continent?" Li Shiming replied solemnly.

He did not like the attitude of the other party; indeed, the Beishu Continent relied on sect unity to resist outside enemies, but such deluded behavior could sometimes bring ruin.

Should he indeed target the Beishu Continent, all the aggregations of cultivators could not withstand the casual activation of his power.

"You misunderstood. Senior hasn’t returned for years; we ought to organize a welcome celebration for your return!" Li Nuo quickly explained.
