Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1798 - 945: Discovery (2)

He activated ’Telepathy’, and since it was not time for the competition yet, the great cultivators were all resting.

The great cultivators were not far away from each other. With so many great cultivators around, no one would attack without a greeting; if someone really did, they would likely face the combined assault of the other great cultivators.

This made Li Yuanba’s ’Telepathy’ more convenient. Although he couldn’t perceive the thoughts of the great cultivators, except for the two peak great cultivators, he could sense the emotions of the others.

When ’Telepathy’ sensed Great Cultivator Wei Lang, Li Yuanba was startled, because he sensed an intense confidence emanating from Great Cultivator Wei Lang.

If Great Cultivator Wei Lang were a peak great cultivator, he wouldn’t have found it strange.

But Great Cultivator Wei Lang was only a great cultivator close to the peak realm, and here, at least on the surface, there were two peak great cultivators. Where did his confidence come from?

Li Yuanba sensed through ’Telepathy’ that it was the most genuine emotion from within Great Cultivator Wei Lang, so there was no mistake.

The robe on Great Cultivator Wei Lang had no sect markings, but his fire spiritual power was very evident, highly suggesting he was a great cultivator from the Infinite Sect.

Li Yuanba had had too many dealings with cultivators from the Infinite Sect, and while he might not know much about non-Central State Continent great cultivators, he was very familiar with the aura of cultivation methods from the great cultivators of the superpowers on the Central State Continent.

A great cultivator from the Infinite Sect, carrying intense confidence, a non-peak great cultivator who ignored two peak great cultivators, seemed suspicious in every way.

As Li Yuanba pondered this, he further concealed his identity as a sword cultivator.

He kept part of his mind focused on Great Cultivator Wei Lang, waiting for the competition to start.

In the meantime, a few more great cultivators arrived, but no peak great cultivators did.

This was partly due to the complex situation on the West Yan Continent, involving a great power who had lost his sect, and no one could be sure if this great power might go mad.

It’s important to know that this great power had previously slaughtered a large number of nascent soul cultivators in one go; if a great power acts recklessly, the consequences are terrifying.

Additionally, it tied into the fact that the cultivation world had fewer peak great cultivators and great cultivators nearing the peak realm. These great cultivators were already rare, and after many were slaughtered, the great cultivators participating in resources competition dwindled accordingly.

"It seems it’s just us two in competition this time!" A peak great cultivator stood up and said with a smile to another peak great cultivator, as the time seemed about right.

"Before the competition, let’s take care of the other great cultivators first, to avoid anyone taking advantage!" The other peak great cultivator nodded and said.

As soon as he spoke, the other great cultivators tensed up.

If all the other great cultivators worked together, they might have a chance against the two peak great cultivators, but since these great cultivators came from different places, working together was impossible.

They were not willing to leave at this point.

Li Yuanba did not step forward; he observed Great Cultivator Wei Lang.

What puzzled him was that Great Cultivator Wei Lang, who had strong confidence, did not have any intention to step forward either, instead showing some impatience looking around.

"Everyone, please leave on your own; otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite!" The peak great cultivator looked at the other great cultivators and said in a deep voice.

The aura on his body intensified, and the aura belonging to a peak great cultivator pressed on the other great cultivators.

The other peak great cultivator cooperated with him, applying pressure on the other great cultivators together.

Great Cultivator Wei Lang felt helpless. Although he did have means to deal with the two peak great cultivators, using those means for just some great cultivator spiritual medicine wasn’t worthwhile.

Furthermore, since he hadn’t seen Li Yuanba, he felt reluctant to stay.

Li Yuanba’s eyes moved; he thought of startling Great Cultivator Wei Lang into revealing his means.

He decided to act, originally not concerned with the great cultivators here, not even the two peak great cultivators.

He had the feeling that Great Cultivator Wei Lang was not here for the great cultivator resource point. Despite having strong confidence, he intended to retreat voluntarily, which was very strange, indicating his aim here was substantial.

He activated ’Storm Eye’, sending out a Wind Blade towards Great Cultivator Wei Lang.

The Wind Blade didn’t contain Sword Intent, so it wasn’t a full-force strike.

The Wind Blade was almost instantaneous, arriving in front of Great Cultivator Wei Lang in a moment.

Great Cultivator Wei Lang had no time to react and was cleaved in two by the Wind Blade, with a tiny nascent soul leaping out in terror, seemingly not understanding what had happened.

Everything happened too quickly, so fast that the two peak great cultivators didn’t have time to intervene before an internal conflict occurred.

The two peak great cultivators’ expressions changed as they witnessed the Wind Blade’s attack.

The speed and power of the Wind Blade made the two peak great cultivators feel overwhelmed.

Putting themselves in Great Cultivator Wei Lang’s place, they realized they couldn’t withstand such a Wind Blade either.

They both looked at Li Yuanba, their eyes flashing with shock.

"Fellow Daoist, might I ask your esteemed name? Given your strength, I will gladly yield!" One of the peak great cultivators prudently acknowledged, and he couldn’t be blamed, as in recent years, too many peak great cultivators have fallen in the cultivation world, making them put away their arrogance.

Li Yuanba was also taken aback; he did not expect that the highly confident Great Cultivator Wei Lang would fail to withstand even a casual strike from him.

He couldn’t understand why someone with such weak strength as a great cultivator had such confidence in the face of two peak great cultivators!

Of course, he wouldn’t feel sorry for accidentally destroying Great Cultivator Wei Lang’s body, as death and injury were inevitable in the competition for great cultivator spiritual medicine.

If you don’t want to get hurt or fall, then stay in the sect, where it’s certainly safe.

The other peak great cultivator saw that Li Yuanba ignored them, and his face turned a bit unpleasant, but he took no action, mainly due to being shocked by the previous strike.

The other great cultivators fled to the distance in a rush, fearing they might be cut down by Li Yuanba if they were too slow.

"Master Shishu, please avenge me!" Great Cultivator Wei Lang’s nascent soul screamed sharply.

The nascent soul glared at Li Yuanba with intense hatred; even though it no longer had a body, unlike other great cultivators who would use their nascent soul’s speed to escape, it remained in place, directing its hatred towards Li Yuanba after shaking off its shock.

Upon hearing Great Cultivator Wei Lang’s words, Li Yuanba immediately thought of a possibility and almost instantly activated ’One Step to Reach’, ready to leave this place.

But when he wanted to leave, he found that ’One Step to Reach’ couldn’t be performed.

The whole void was filled with a terrifying aura, affecting space itself.

"Alright, I will make a move this time!" A voice came from the void.

The two peak great cultivators felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, immobile and unable to move, their spiritual power turning sluggish like mercury.

They immediately prepared for the worst, producing two life-saving jade talismans that appeared before them, and their figures turned into two escaping lights, fleeing to the distance.

Although the void was sealed, the powerful presence hidden within the void did not attack the two peak great cultivators, allowing them to leave.

At this moment, Li Yuanba finally understood the source of Great Cultivator Wei Lang’s confidence; originally, Great Cultivator Wei Lang carried a Cave Heaven Anchor Point Carrier from a half-step great power.

He further understood that the Cave Heaven Anchor Point Carrier carried by Great Cultivator Wei Lang was targeted at him.

No wonder Great Cultivator Wei Lang was so confident; clearly here to participate in the great cultivator spiritual medicine competition, he did not participate but instead was about to leave after failing to find Li Yuanba.
