Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1749: Chapter 921: Physical Body

Great Power Luo Yuan stood quietly at the mountain top, rare for him to leave his Yuqing Cave Heaven, using his true form to watch over the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate.

In recent years, the decline of the Yuqing Sect was clear to him.

As a Great Power, possessing a long lifespan, he didn’t concern himself with the Yuqing Sect’s temporary rise and fall.

Even if the Yuqing Sect were to decline for a period, after hundreds of years of recovery, with enough Great Cultivators, the initially stolen territory and resource points would return.

Having existed for over ten thousand years, the Yuqing Sect would not vanish so easily.

The only thing Great Power Luo Yuan truly cared about was Li Shiming, and as Li Shiming’s strength increased and his abilities continued to reveal themselves, his concerns grew.

How could he not see? Such a talented cultivator as Li Shiming, if he did not advance to Great Power, it would be fine. But should he advance, he might pose a great threat to the Yuqing Sect.

Judging from the talent Li Shiming exhibited, his chance to ascend to Great Power was exceedingly high.

Though Luo Yuan did not know what opportunity Li Shiming had obtained, he could be certain that the cultivation technique Li Shiming practiced was extraordinarily superior.

Otherwise, coming from a large sect, Li Shiming would not possess his current battle strength.

Li Shiming, with the realm of a Peak Great Cultivator, suppressed all Great Cultivators in the cultivation world, a reputation built upon the bodies of many Peak Great Cultivators.

Among them was Yuqing Sect’s Master Wang He. Through continuously slaying many Peak Great Cultivators, Li Shiming built an exceptionally fierce reputation, allowing Ten Thousand Beast Sect to easily occupy the entire Dongqi Continent.

Great Power Luo Yuan recalled a previous attempt, where he sent an avatar to capture Li Shiming, and Li Shiming used a strange spatial jump to escape.

He didn’t believe Li Shiming could again perform such a strange spatial jump, but he himself could no longer send avatars to capture Li Shiming.

Considering this, he felt helpless. Through unparalleled alchemy ability, Li Shiming swayed numerous superpowers to choose to protect him. Many Great Powers contacted him directly, forbidding him from breaking rules and going to the Dongqi Continent.

Suddenly, Great Power Luo Yuan sensed something, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Then he appeared in a small Grotto Heaven, where a faint aura of death pervaded.

"Ancestor Luo!" An aged voice emanated from a cultivator floating inside the Grotto Heaven.

Great Power Luo Yuan looked at this half-step Great Power named Lian Lei, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

He faintly remembered how Lian Lei, before entering seclusion, aspired fiercely to become Yuqing Sect’s new Great Power.

But after over two thousand years of seclusion, the Lian Lei before him was haggard, and he could even feel Lian Lei’s life span nearing its end.

"Lian Lei, you still haven’t managed to take that step!" Great Power Luo Yuan shook his head and said.

"I’ve disappointed Ancestor!" Lian Lei gave a bitter smile, replying solemnly.

"You have two years of life span left, do you have any final wishes or plans?" Great Power Luo Yuan then asked.

Regarding Lian Lei’s life span, both he and Lian Lei himself were clear, no need to avoid the topic.

"What wishes could there be, all the cultivators I knew have long turned to bones!" Lian Lei did not fear death, he spoke calmly.

"Since that’s the case, there is a matter the sect wishes you to assist with." Great Cultivator Luo Yuan thought for a moment and said.

He took out a jade scroll and tossed it to Lian Lei.

Lian Lei was slightly stunned; though he was a half-step Great Power, in his memory, Yuqing Sect was such a dominant superpower, half-step Great Powers never got involved in external affairs.

When he saw inside the jade scroll, his eyes widened, his once resigned state of mind was rekindled with emotion by its contents.

"Ancestor, this Li Shizhen can actually kill the half-step Great Power Yang Xing, how is that possible?" Upon seeing a certain section, he asked in astonishment.

It wasn’t surprising he was shocked; being a half-step Great Power himself, he naturally understood the power unleashed by a half-step Great Power.

He did not expect Great Power Luo Yuan, in dealing with Li Shiming, to deploy Great Cultivators, Peak Great Cultivators, half-step Great Powers, and even Great Power avatars, yet still hadn’t resolved the trouble Li Shiming posed.

"I’ve analyzed Yang Xing’s situation; it should be his own problem. I’ve personally interacted with Li Shizhen, sensed his battle strength; even at his full capacity, he couldn’t achieve killing Yang Xing!" Great Power Luo Yuan thought for a moment and responded.

The reason for his contemplation was to compare Li Shiming’s battle strength. The power Li Shiming demonstrated at that time exceeded his imagination.

However, Li Shiming was then at the Middle Stage of Great Cultivator; even if he fully exerted his Thunder Skill, he wouldn’t be able to harm Yang Xing, that he was sure of.

Thus, Yang Xing’s demise, had only one possibility, that it arose from Yang Xing’s own problems.

Yang Xing, unlike Lian Lei, was newly entered into half-step Great Power, not yet able to stabilize his own state; although he could act, the instability in his state carried many hazards.

"I understand now, let a cultivator bring my Grotto Heaven to the Dongqi Continent, I will capture Li Shizhen alive and bring him back!" Lian Lei said after setting down the jade scroll.

The current decline of Yuqing Sect began due to Li Shiming.

And Li Shiming carries the information of Great Power Luo Yuan’s divine treasure ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’, it would be best to capture him alive.
