Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1814 - 953: Leng Luo (Part 2)

Great Power Leng Luo took the Jade Scroll and began to examine it, noticing the names of several familiar superpowers.

This was not surprising; the Yuqing Sect had been in friction with these superpowers for over ten thousand years.

"What’s the deal with Li Shizhen in the Jade Scroll? Isn’t he just a Great Cultivator? Why is he considered a suspicious person?" Great Power Leng Luo asked, feeling strange about seeing a name instead of a power, and thus inquired.

"Not to laugh at me, Senior Brother, but Li Shizhen snatched the Yuqing Sect’s legacy treasure, the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’, and even killed many of the Yuqing Sect’s Great Cultivators, including Peak Great Cultivators, severely weakening the strength of the Yuqing Sect!" Great Power Luo Yuan replied with a bitter smile.

"How come the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ was not retrieved after being seized?" Great Power Leng Luo asked in surprise upon hearing the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ was taken.

The ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ was a top thunder treasure, beneficial not only to Thunder Cultivator Great Cultivators but also to Thunder Cultivation Great Powers like himself.

If it weren’t that the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ was a legacy treasure, needing to be managed by the Inheritor Great Ability within the Yuqing Sect, he would have wanted it himself.

"I don’t know what method Li Shizhen used, but I feel like the ownership mark on the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ hasn’t disappeared, yet it’s impossible to sense its location or use means to recall it!" Great Power Luo Yuan replied, shaking his head.

"You just let him go?" Great Power Leng Luo inquired coldly, his gaze intense.

Losing a legacy treasure was no small matter, and the Yuqing Sect couldn’t deal with a Great Cultivator?

"Li Shizhen has a peculiar space escape method. Even when I sent my avatar personally, I couldn’t catch him. Due to my intervention, I provoked dissatisfaction among the superpowers’ Great Powers, so I couldn’t make a move again!" Great Power Luo Yuan explained, bowing his head.

"Even though Li Shizhen acquired the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’, why suspect him of the attack?" Great Power Leng Luo pondered for a moment before asking.

Even if Li Shizhen became an enemy of the Yuqing Sect due to the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’, how could a mere Great Cultivator destroy the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate?

He didn’t underestimate Great Cultivators. For a Peak Great Cultivator to break through the Yuqing Sect’s Mountain Gate Formation alone, it would take a substantial time, let alone cause such destruction to the mountain gate.

In the Cultivation World, the magic treasures or talismans crafted by cultivators, or other attack methods, match the cultivator’s own realm. It is impossible for a Golden Core cultivator to produce treasures, talismans, or other attack methods threatening to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Therefore, Great Power Leng Luo had such doubts. He couldn’t believe a Great Cultivator like Li Shizhen could cause such destructive power.

"During the pursuit of Li Shizhen, the sect sent Yang Xing and Lian Lei, and eventually, they both fell to Li Shizhen!" Great Power Luo Yuan explained.

"Tell me, what else do I not know?" Great Power Leng Luo loudly questioned upon hearing his explanation.

He finally understood why Great Power Luo Yuan suspected Li Shizhen; it turned out Li Shizhen had slain two Half-step Great Powers of the Yuqing Sect.

Losing two Half-step Great Powers was a significant loss. Even if the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate was not destroyed, the Yuqing Sect’s inheritance would face a break.

One must know the chance of a Half-step Great Power ascending to Great Power is not high, so generally, each superpower nurtures the most gifted disciple into a Half-step Great Power, a disciple like this emerging only every few thousand years.

At least three to four Half-step Great Powers must exist to ensure that one can inherit the Inheritance Cave Heaven and replace the current Inheritor Great Ability.

However, due to the Yuqing Sect’s current situation, missing two Half-step Great Powers is effectively leaving only one or two left, greatly reducing Great Power Luo Yuan’s options once his life span is exhausted.

A destroyed mountain gate can be rebuilt, but with fewer Half-step Great Powers, the Yuqing Sect faces latent risks in its inheritance.

"That’s all, I didn’t guard the sect well. Once I find a suitable successor, I will pass on the Cave Heaven Inheritance!" Great Power Luo Yuan shook his head bitterly.

Being an Inheritor Great Ability, his life span pales compared to a Free Great Power. He intended to end his life early; without the Cave Heaven’s inheritance, his decline and fall awaited.

He wanted to atone this way, understanding he failed in his duty to protect the sect.

"No need to say more; the sect is in crisis and needs our joint effort. I will contact other superpowers’ Great Powers soon, asking them to cooperate in finding the culprit attacking the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate and to recover the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’!" Great Power Leng Luo gestured to dismiss him.

He didn’t intend to force Great Power Luo Yuan; though dissatisfied, cultivating an Inheritor Great Ability was no easy task.

Given the Yuqing Sect’s current situation, it might take one to two thousand years to even see a Half-step Great Power, not to mention nurturing a new Inheritor Great Ability.

Li Yuanba, through the drone satellite system, saw the Great Power approaching the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate, but the Cave Heaven Space barrier within the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate prevented the drone satellite system from monitoring the internal situation.

However, this information was sufficient; this newly appeared Great Power should belong to the Yuqing Sect.

Having read extensively about Half-step Great Powers, including descriptions of Great Powers, he understood much about them.

Such as why the Great Powers of each superpower rarely leave the mountain gate, at most sending avatars out.

For if a Great Power leaves the Cave Heaven, he would be discovered by heaven and earth; staying beyond a certain time would trigger rejection, leading to the descent of a Heavenly Tribulation.

But this new Great Power appeared in person, which puzzled him.

After hesitating momentarily, he used ’One Step to the Sky’ to leave.

After some time, he arrived at a marketplace, concealing his aura and casting a spell.

"Senior, please follow me!" A Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner appeared before Li Yuanba and bowed.

Li Yuanba remained silent, following the Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner to a room.

Upon entering the room, the Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner activated the room’s formation.

"Xuan Yi greets Junior Master Li!" The Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner only then saluted again.

This place was the intelligence branch of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, and Xuan Yi was the person in charge here.

In the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, only a handful of core cultivators knew this location.

There was no choice; the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s power on the West Yan Continent was too weak, often in discord with the White Emperor Sect. If exposed, this place could quickly be annihilated.

"No need for formalities; I need to use the emergency Communication Array!" Li Yuanba said while helping Xuan Yi to stand.

Between a Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner and a Great Cultivator, there was a two-generation gap.

Xuan Yi recognized Li Yuanba instantly, hence addressing him as Junior Master Li.

"Junior Master, please wait thirty minutes; the emergency Communication Array needs to be activated!" Xuan Yi said without hesitation.

The intelligence point was established here precisely to facilitate swift information transmission.

Usually, messages were relayed daily through the intercontinental Communication Array, but the emergency Communication Array differed, allowing direct contact with the Guardian of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion without the intelligence department’s relay.

After thirty minutes, the emergency Communication Array was activated, and Li Yuanba stood within it, waiting for a response from the other side.

"What prompted the initiation of the emergency communication?" A familiar voice, belonging to Great Cultivator Lou, sounded from the other side.

"It’s me, Li Yuanba. I need to speak with Sword Elder immediately; it involves a Great Power!" Li Yuanba responded solemnly.

Great Cultivator Lou was momentarily stunned but soon understood; dealings involving a Great Power were beyond his capacity.
