Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1812 - 952: Discovery (Part 2)

Lin Nian bowed to Cultivator Chu and turned to fly out of the mountain gate.

At that moment, a cry echoed from the sky, and a golden bird appeared within the Sect Formation of the Thousand Bird Sect.

Though the Sect Formation of the Thousand Bird Sect wasn’t particularly strong, it had been reinforced over thousands of years by countless generations of cultivators. The two Great Cultivators never imagined it would be directly breached.

The time Li Yuanba spent on these missions was mostly in locating the targets. As for the time spent battling, it was negligible.

Like today, after confirming Lin Nian’s location, he arrived at the Thousand Bird Sect where Lin Nian resided. First, he revealed his identity by unleashing the Jian Family Sword Light, then used the Golden Winged Dapeng to break the formation’s restrictions and enable space movement into the interior of the sect’s formation.

He saw Lin Nian, and with a flicker of sword light, Lin Nian’s head separated from his body, the ’Xingyi Sword’ harboring ’Chaos Sword Intent’ simultaneously severing Lin Nian’s Nascent Soul.

His divine sense captured Lin Nian’s corpse, which would be used to conclude the mission.

"Daring to shelter the hunted cultivator of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, the Thousand Bird Sect is very bold!" After resolving the mission, Li Yuanba said sternly to Cultivator Chu.

"Senior, I was not aware of Lin Nian’s involvement with the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. If I had known, how would I dare to take him in!" Cultivator Chu hurriedly explained.

Li Yuanba gave him a cold glance, waved his hand to throw out an orb of energy, and then the Golden Winged Dapeng carried him away in an instant.

Cultivator Chu felt his heartbeat quicken several times. Looking at the energy orb Li Yuanba tossed, though he didn’t know what it was, he was sure it wasn’t anything good.

The tyrannical actions of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion include exacting a price on anyone daring to harbor their enemies.

It seemed the energy orb emitted by Li Yuanba was the price the Thousand Bird Sect had to face.

As Cultivator Chu was thinking, the energy orb scattered, turning into countless Wind Blades.

Being the closest, Cultivator Chu was prepared and placed a fourth-grade high-stage defensive shield in front of him.

Before he could rejoice, a wave of pain struck his mind.

The fourth-grade high-stage defensive shield before him seemed like paper as a Wind Blade pierced through it, shooting toward him without the slightest delay.

At that time he had no time to dodge, and could only turn sideways, hoping to endure the Wind Blade at a minimal cost.

The Wind Blade swept across his left arm, normally such an injury wouldn’t be life-threatening for a Great Cultivator.

But at the moment the Wind Blade hit his left arm, an indescribable terrifying Sword Intent acted upon his physical body and Nascent Soul.

"It’s Li Yuanba!" Only now did Cultivator Chu realize which Great Cultivator the Jian Family Sword Light represented.

He had heard of Li Yuanba’s formidable reputation and knew how fearsome his Sword Intent was rumored to be.

Yet today, he finally truly witnessed the terror of Li Yuanba’s Sword Intent, far exceeding the rumors, but he could not inform other cultivators now.

As life vanished from Cultivator Chu, he saw the Wind Blades, transformed from the scattered energy orb, destroy most of the buildings of the Thousand Bird Sect.

Not a single cultivator stood in the way of the Wind Blades could survive.

However, Li Yuanba did show mercy; at least not many Thousand Bird Sect cultivators died directly under the Wind Blades.

This strike from Li Yuanba was a method of applying the ’Eye of the Storm’.

What he achieved was the destruction of the mountain gate of the Thousand Bird Sect and the annihilation of its Great Cultivator.

Even though not many cultivators of the Thousand Bird Sect perished, the damage he caused was more severe than killing some of them.

Without Cultivator Chu and with the mountain gate half destroyed, the remaining Thousand Bird Sect cultivators couldn’t possibly defend this large sect.

What awaited the Thousand Bird Sect? Either dissolution or being devoured by other forces.

Li Yuanba felt little elation from completing the task; there was hardly any combat enlightenment, just some contribution to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

At that moment, the device linked to the drone satellite system emitted a red warning.

The red warning in the drone satellite system signified the most dangerous level, corresponding to an adversary Li Yuanba couldn’t defeat.

He quickly retrieved the device to check the situation monitored by the drone satellite system.

He saw at a glance a large area of blurred region, the kind that he had only seen when a Great Power Avatar appeared, and that blurred region was not as large as this one now.

"Could it be that a Great Power entity has appeared in person!" Li Yuanba was shocked and muttered to himself.

The judgment given by IBMz15 is that it’s suspected to be an entity at the level of a Great Power itself.

Fortunately, after the blurred region appeared on the West Yan Continent, it didn’t head in his direction.

Li Yuanba breathed a slight sigh of relief but quickly turned grave.

Because the direction that Great Power was heading was towards Yuqing Sect, regardless of who that Great Power was or what their identity, if they were heading to Yuqing Sect, there must be some relation.

Moreover, how many Great Powers in the Cultivation World can travel with their own body this far? This suddenly appearing Great Power is most likely anything but simple.

After some thought, Li Yuanba directed the Golden Winged Dapeng to quickly move in the opposite direction.

He finally stopped above the coast of the West Yan Continent, where he could still connect to the drone satellite system above the continent. If he moved over the sea, he wouldn’t be able to contact the drone satellite system and wouldn’t know the movements of that Great Power.

From there he could always use the ’Crossing Void Shuttle’ to enter the seawater, escaping by blending into the water.

A figure flew towards the direction of Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate, its speed well surpassing that of Li Shiming and Li Yuanba.

The flying speed of Li Shiming and Li Yuanba was nearly unrivaled in the Cultivation World, surpassed only by a Great Power.

This figure was indeed a Great Power, an extremely rare Free Great Power.

Great Power Leng Luo returned from afar after receiving long-range information from Great Power Luo Yuan.

Due to the complications of long-range information transmission, the message sent by Great Power Luo Yuan couldn’t clearly describe everything about the Yuqing Sect, only vaguely stating that Yuqing Sect was facing great peril.

Upon discovering the Nascent Soul cultivators lingering around the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate, Great Power Leng Luo became displeased with Great Power Luo Yuan.

Since when did the outside of Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate allow these riffraff to wander freely, and these riffraff seemed to be patrolling the area.

He did not take action to exterminate these Nascent Soul cultivators, waiting to discuss it with Great Power Luo Yuan first.

He passed through the Cave Heaven Space barrier, and upon passing through, he realized something was wrong.

The isolation effect of the Cave Heaven Space barrier had declined to an extreme, seemingly missing the augmentation of a formation.

Then he saw the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate, barely believing his eyes.

At the mountain gate of Yuqing Sect stood a few scattered wooden and stone buildings alone on a flat field.

Yuqing Sect’s former mountain gate, while not picturesque, was at least an immortal family’s grand display.

Yet now, the mountain gate had no proper structures; those generational sect buildings had all vanished.

What stunned him even more were the cultivators within the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate.

According to his perception, Yuqing Sect was left with only three hundred and forty-five cultivators, out of whom only three were Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners.

This could no longer be considered the powerful Yuqing Sect; even stronger medium-sized sects had more and stronger cultivators than Yuqing Sect.

From those three hundred and forty-five cultivators, Great Power Leng Luo sensed a pervasive desolation, a hopelessness and despair concerning the future.

"Huh!" He discovered a hidden but pervasive radiation energy within the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate.

This type of radiation energy was spread throughout every corner of the Yuqing Sect mountain gate, yet concealed deeply, as if it transmitted from underground.

In such a radiative environment, all spiritual substances would gradually be eroded until they were completely polluted, losing their inherent spirituality.

"What on earth happened?" Great Power Leng Luo muttered to himself.
