Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 557: Chapter 325: Demon Buddha

“Yuan Ba, come here!” Just as Li Yuanba returned to Jieshan City and took control of the situation, a voice rang in his ear.

His heart leaped with joy, for it was the voice of Ancestor Lu.

His recent smooth sailing in the Senluo Sect and obtaining such a significant defensive task were all thanks to Ancestor Lu.

This was a significant pillar of support for him in the Senluo Sect, and the timely arrival of Ancestor Lu when he was attacked at Qianye Temple had brought him peace of mind.

Any lingering worries had dissipated along with it.

The voice came from within the Guardian Mansion. Li Yuanba flew back to the mansion and saw Ancestor Lu in the great hall.

“Yuan Ba pays his respects to Ancestor Lu!” Li Yuanba stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

“It seems you were somewhat prepared, I don’t have to worry about how to explain to your master now!” Ancestor Lu said with a smile.

Upon receiving the sect’s notification, Ancestor Lu didn’t hesitate for a moment and flew to Jieshan City at full speed.

He placed great importance on Li Yuanba. Not only was Li Yuanba his direct disciple, but he also possessed astonishing talent. With Yuan Ba’s potential, demonstrated by his advancement to Golden Core at such a young age, he definitely had the potential to reach for the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, Li Yuanba was the sole heir of the lineage of Elder Jian. Elder Jian had spent many years searching for this one disciple and even passed on the inheritance of Ten Thousand Sword Peak to Li Yuanba.

If anything truly happened to Yuan Ba, Elder Jian’s lineage would likely end.

Ancestor Lu was still very pleased after seeing Li Yuanba unharmed.

“Disciple has some connections with those of the Righteous Path. They informed me in advance about the two Great Arhats from Qianye Temple, which allowed me to make preparations!” Li Yuanba did not intend to hide anything, and he explained the reason behind his knowledge.

“Qianye Temple has crossed the line this time. They must be taught a lesson!” Ancestor Lu nodded in agreement.

Despite the six great sects being divided into the Righteous and Demon Sects, with constant friction between them,

the relationship between Senluo Sect and the Righteous Path’s Shushan Sect and Thousand Illusion Sect was actually quite good, in contrast to the more strained relationships among the three Demon Sects.

This was also related to the geographical locations of the three Demon Sects. The three Righteous Path sects occupied a central region of the Beishu Continent, while the three Demon Sects were located on three distinct edges, disconnected from each other.

There was little trust to begin with among the Demon Sects, and apart from facing major issues concerning the Righteous and Demon factions, the sects seldom cooperated.

For example, there was some agreement between the Senluo Sect and the three Righteous Path sects; none of them wanted to engage in excessive conflicts.

A full-scale war between the six great sects of the Beishu Continent was almost impossible.

That’s because each of the six great sects had a significant number of Nascent Soul Ancestors. If a Nascent Soul Ancestor made a move, it could result in the destruction of an entire region, much like a nuclear threat in a previous life.

Nascent Soul Ancestors were the equivalent of nuclear weapons in this cultivation world. Without the certainty of victory, they dared not launch a full-scale war.

No major sect wanted to see its environment destroyed and lose the supply of cultivation resources.

“Ancestor, I have discovered where the two Great Arhats are hiding!” Hearing that Ancestor Lu was unwilling to let the matter go lightly, Li Yuanba shared what he knew.

“You’re quite bold, daring to investigate the traces of the Great Arhats. Lead me there!” Ancestor Lu looked at Li Yuanba and said with a slight smile.

The Great Arhats were the strongest existences below Nascent Soul, and Ancestor Lu was simply reminding Li Yuanba after seeing that he was unharmed.

Li Yuanba took the lead with Ancestor Lu following behind, flying out for a hundred li.

“You’re too slow this way. Tell me the direction, and I’ll take you there!” Ancestor Lu, impatient with Li Yuanba’s Sword Escape speed, said in a slightly irritated tone.

In fact, Li Yuanba’s Sword Escape speed was not slow, but it all depended on who one was compared with. Compared to a Nascent Soul Ancestor like Ancestor Lu, naturally, it was slow.

Of course, Li Yuanba had not revealed ‘Step by Step Lotus’; otherwise, he might have been able to show Ancestor Lu what true speed was.

Ancestor Lu grabbed Li Yuanba, who could only reluctantly point in one direction.

Ancestor Lu’s flight was extremely domineering, relying solely on unparalleled Spiritual Power to propel himself. The air ahead was shattered by the Spiritual Power in advance, and during the high-speed flight, Li Yuanba felt no wind at all.

“They’re in the middle of that mountain peak, near that large stone!” As they approached the target location, Li Yuanba pointed to the large stone on the mountain peak.

The two Great Arhats had vanished here, so they must be hiding somewhere nearby.

“Qianye Temple is going to suffer a painful blow this time!” Ancestor Lu burst into laughter. He didn’t need Li Yuanba’s guidance anymore; as he approached the mountain peak, he sensed the presence of the cavern dwelling.

Especially since the cavern dwelling had the clear style of Qianye Temple, and each sect had its own Formation features.

This was related to the types of resources available within the territories of the different sects. The Array Masters within each sect focused their research on Formations that used more of their unique material resources.

Moreover, among the six great sects, only Qianye Temple has Formations with distinct Buddhist characteristics.

“Amitabha, on behalf of my teacher Venerable Huijing, I, the elder disciple, am willing to withdraw from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and offer a Pure Bottle Liquid as compensation to Li Yuanba,” the voice of Wisdom Arhat sounded from within the cavern dwelling.

Inside, Wisdom Arhat and Zhi Hai Arhat looked dismayed.

It never crossed their minds that the two Great Arhats would be trapped by Ancestor Lu in the cavern dwelling.

They couldn’t fathom how their whereabouts had been exposed. They had been cautious to check for any pursuit along the way.
