Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1813 - 953: Leng Luo

In the Yuqing Sect mountain gate, Sect Master Gu Ran sensed a terrifying presence enveloping the entrance.

The other cultivators had long lost their spirit; under such a terrifying aura, they didn’t even have the courage to investigate.

Only Sect Master Gu Ran couldn’t retreat. He had a way to contact the great power Luo Yuan, so even if something happened, Luo Yuan would be his safeguard.

"Who is the senior? This is the Yuqing Sect, please announce your name!" Sect Master Gu Ran stepped out and asked tremblingly.

It wasn’t that he wanted to tremble, but under the aura of Great Power Leng Luo, his cultivation was too low to control his voice from shaking.

"And who are you?" Great Power Leng Luo looked at Gu Ran in front of him, frowning and asking.

Gu Ran’s timid nature made him feel extremely displeased. Was this the demeanor of a Thunder Cultivator from the Yuqing Sect?

"Sect Master Gu Ran of the Yuqing Sect, greets Senior!" Sect Master Gu Ran dared not hesitate in the slightest and answered, bowing.

"You are the Sect Master of the Yuqing Sect?!" Great Power Leng Luo raised his voice, somewhat in disbelief.

When did the position of sect master of Yuqing Sect fall to a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner, let alone such a being?

"Gu Ran, you may step back!" A clone of Great Power Luo Yuan appeared. He waved to Sect Master Gu Ran and then excitedly looked towards Great Power Leng Luo, saying, "Brother Leng, you’re back!"

Upon hearing Great Power Luo Yuan’s words, Sect Master Gu Ran paused in retreat and then was overcome with joy.

To be addressed as "Brother" by Luo Yuan signified that he was another great power like Luo Yuan.

Having another great power-level expert in Yuqing Sect would undoubtedly change the sect’s situation.

However, he didn’t dare to listen or watch more; the conversation between the two great powers wasn’t something he was privy to.

"Junior Brother Luo Yuan, what a mess you’ve made!" Great Power Leng Luo said in a deep voice.

Seeing the current state of Yuqing Sect, he even felt like killing Great Power Luo Yuan.

"Brother, let’s talk in my grotto heaven!" Great Power Luo Yuan didn’t want to speak outside and hurriedly invited him.

As a great power, he didn’t want other cultivators to see him being scolded.

"Humph!" Great Power Leng Luo coldly snorted and followed Great Power Luo Yuan into the grotto heaven.

Great Power Luo Yuan brought Great Power Leng Luo to a grand hall. After inviting him to sit down, he recounted all that had happened in Yuqing Sect to Leng Luo.

"Are you saying you still haven’t found out who attacked the mountain gate?" Great Power Leng Luo asked in disbelief after hearing Luo Yuan’s account.

Yuqing Sect, a superpower in the Cultivation World, its mountain gate was attacked like this, yet they don’t know who did it; it’s truly unbelievable.

"The attacker’s methods were extremely advanced; due to the explosion, nearly all knowledgeable cultivators perished on the spot. I couldn’t even figure out the methods used by the attacker, only that it was a form of attack never seen before in the Cultivation World!

This mode of attack involved an explosion that instantly obliterated everything in the mountain gate, leaving behind hellish energy pollution that’s almost impossible to remove!" Great Power Luo Yuan answered helplessly.

"Didn’t you use tracing techniques at the time?" Great Power Leng Luo asked further.

Tracing techniques, though costly, can analyze events at a location after they occur.

Of course, tracing techniques can be countered, but such a sudden explosion, capable of destroying the whole mountain gate, suggests the attacker wasn’t present in person and couldn’t clean the scene to prevent tracing.

"I tried, but hellish energy pollution makes tracing impossible!" Great Power Luo Yuan shook his head.

The Cultivation World has little research on hellish energy. Before Yuqing Sect’s attack, no one had studied that hellish energy could restrict the casting of tracing spells.

It makes sense, considering the corrosive and destructive nature of hellish energy, which can affect all spiritually infused items; the inability to perform tracing spells is quite normal.

"Do you have any suspects? When did our Yuqing Sect need evidence?" Great Power Leng Luo suppressed his anger and continued to ask.

Great Power Luo Yuan wanted to say no, but seeing Leng Luo suppressing his fury, he worried Leng Luo might strike him if he didn’t provide any suspects.

Even though Luo Yuan is a great power-level expert, there are differences among great powers.

Free Great Powers and Inheritor Great Powers differ; Inheritor Great Powers leverage others’ Inheritance Cave Heavens to forcibly ascend, while Free Great Powers ascend through self-constructed cave heavens.

An Inheritor Great Power’s strength has limits; the ceiling of an Inheritance Cave Heaven is their ceiling, as it’s not built by them, granting only mastery over it, yet they cannot surpass its shackles.

But Free Great Powers can continuously grow stronger as long as they have enough resources.

Of course, this doesn’t mean Inheritor Great Powers are always weaker than Free ones, but among great powers, the standing of Inheritor Great Powers is at the lowest tier, while Free Great Powers have much higher potential.

As for Great Power Leng Luo and Great Power Luo Yuan, Leng Luo’s current strength faintly suppresses Luo Yuan.

There’s no need for combat, as when Great Power Leng Luo left, he was already stronger than Luo Yuan, not to mention it’s been many years since.

Great Power Luo Yuan’s strength stagnated after Leng Luo left, while Leng Luo continued progressing.

"I’ve recorded the opposing forces of Yuqing Sect in a jade scroll; I believe the attacker lies among them!" Great Power Luo Yuan brought out the records he organized in his spare time and presented them to Great Power Leng Luo.
