Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1765 - 929: Continuation

West Yan Continent’s Yuqing Sect, where over ten thousand cultivators of various skill levels are busy.

Among these cultivators, the most skilled are eight Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners, the strongest Thunder Cultivators in Yuqing Sect apart from Great Power Luo Yuan.

Before the mountain gate was attacked, due to the lack of Great Cultivators, Yuqing Sect had already recalled all Great Cultivators to preside over the situation.

Normally, Great Cultivators reside in the Grotto Heaven, enjoying the best待遇.

Yet, during that period, Yuqing Sect was faced with numerous affairs requiring Great Cultivator oversight, thus they were all outside the Grotto Heaven.

When ’Great Dragon’s Fury’ exploded, all Great Cultivators were present and very close to the explosion site.

Therefore, at this time, Yuqing Sect cannot even find one Great Cultivator; only these eight Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners remain, recently called back from outside.

For such a superpower, the present strength of eight Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners indeed leaves Yuqing Sect almost helpless.

It is only because Great Power Luo Yuan remains that Yuqing Sect has not crumbled and ceased to exist.

In recent months, Yuqing Sect’s cultivators have been busy clearing the soil; their task is heavy and requires them to remove the surface earth over three feet thick, a challenging job even for cultivators.

Especially when many cultivators present feel that something is wrong with their bodies.

After being exposed to radiation for several months, if not for the robustness of their bodies, they might have reached their limit long ago.

Yet even the bodies of cultivators exhibit abnormalities under the continuous pollution of radiation.

The most terrifying aspect is that the anomalies afflicting cultivators cannot be remedied with Spirit Pills or eliminated through Spiritual Power Pattern.

Panic has spread among the cultivators; without the oversight of Great Power Luo Yuan’s avatar, many would have already left.

Great Power Luo Yuan’s avatar stands in the air, gazing at the ruins of the mountain gate.

He regrets this situation; he can sense that these cultivators’ bodies have suffered from such radiation, likely leaving them with little hope for future advancement.

Yet, for Yuqing Sect’s continuity, he must rebuild the mountain gate, sacrificing this batch of cultivators since the gate cannot be relocated.

Once the mountain gate is cleared, he can recruit a new batch of Thunder Affinity disciples.

Though such a rebuilding strategy takes time, as a Great Power he has ample time to slowly nurture the sect.

He believes that in five hundred years at most, Yuqing Sect can return to prosperity, and in a thousand years it can reach its peak again.

Such confidence comes primarily because, despite the destruction of the Yuqing Sect mountain gate, its foundation remains; the Book Collection Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion within the Grotto Heaven, as well as the warehouses, are sufficient to nurture a large batch of new cultivators.

"What’s happening? Weren’t there supposed to be more disciples returning? Why haven’t they arrived?" Great Power Luo Yuan glanced at the time, furrowed his brow, and questioned Gu Ran, the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator.

Gu Ran was appointed as Sect Master by him; making a Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner the Sect Master was a necessary choice, akin to choosing a general among dwarfs.

"Ancestor, they should arrive soon; let me check!" Gu Ran replied, bowing.

He took out his Sect Master Jade Plate and quickly broke into a sweat.

"Ancestor, we can’t reach them!" he stammered as he reported.

Great Power Luo Yuan looked at Gu Ran with some disgust; this kind of person can barely be a sect master for Yuqing Sect, but there are no other choices now.

"Let the intelligence department investigate!" he ordered firmly.

Although Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate was destroyed, its intelligence network still exists and is largely unaffected.

Gu Ran again took out the Sect Master Jade Plate, feeling its weight; pushed into this position without talent, he lacks authority and is constantly under the scrutiny of Great Power Luo Yuan.

Through the Sect Master Jade Plate, he contacted former intelligence personnel in the intelligence department, activating the intelligence network.

"Ancestor, the summoned cultivators vanished after returning to West Yan Continent; recently, White Emperor Sect mobilized many cultivators, suspected to be their doing!" After some time, Gu Ran read the intelligence with disbelief.

Yuqing Sect’s intelligence network is still very strong; once a clear task is given, it quickly sorts and analyzes collected information, soon presenting relevant intelligence.

Regrettably, if Yuqing Sect cannot sustain its expense, this intelligence network may not endure.

Such intelligence networks can only be afforded by superpowers because their large resource base accumulates and maintains them; operations also require significant investment.

"Xuan Yi, how dare you!" Great Power Luo Yuan’s eyes widened suddenly, a burst of fury escaping his lips.

The name he shouted belonged to Great Power Xuan Yi of the White Emperor Sect.

Both Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect are superpowers on the West Yan Continent; amid long coexistence, they’ve experienced both competition and collaboration.

Previously, when Yuqing Sect weakened, White Emperor Sect took advantage to seize numerous resource points; nobody anticipated White Emperor Sect’s intent to extirpate them now.

Indeed, with Great Power Luo Yuan present, Yuqing Sect cannot be entirely annihilated.

Great Power Xuan Yi won’t charge into Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate for a one-on-one battle with Great Power Luo Yuan.

However, by sealing off Yuqing Sect mountain gate’s passages, White Emperor Sect can truly sever Yuqing Sect’s external contacts.
