Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 735: Chapter 414: Accident

”Huh!” Elder Zuo suddenly stopped his actions and looked towards the distance.

The other Nascent Soul Ancestors, except for Elder Sword, seemed to have received some message, and they too looked in the same direction.

”It seems we are in trouble, Wuwei, you stay, we’ll have a look,” Ancestor Lu said to Elder Sword in a grave voice.

At that instant, the six Nascent Soul Ancestors from the six great sects and Ling Xueling Ancestor from Beishu Trading Company all stood up.

Regardless of any conflicts among them, when it came to important matters, they were allies.

”Venerable Huike, we are in your hands,” Ancestor Lu nodded to Venerable Huike and said.

The six Nascent Soul Ancestors surrounded Venerable Huike and connected some of their spiritual power to him.

Venerable Huike’s Divine Foot Skill activated, and with one step using ”A Stone’s Throw, A World Apart,” he moved five li in distance, taking the six Nascent Soul Ancestors with him.

Li Shiming sensed it most clearly; the merged energy of the seven Nascent Soul Ancestors formed a whole, enabling Venerable Huike to use ”A Stone’s Throw, A World Apart” to its utmost effect beyond his own capability.

The figures of the seven Nascent Soul Ancestors disappeared from the cultivators’ sight at an incredible speed, and even Li Shiming, who possessed the Divine Eye Skill and could see a thousand li, witnessed them exceed that range in little time.

Li Shiming did not know what had happened, so he activated the unmanned satellite system, watching the direction in which the seven Nascent Soul Ancestors moved.

No abnormalities appeared in that direction, at least not until the coastline.

The most likely scenario was that something had occurred at sea, requiring all seven Nascent Soul Ancestors to address it together.

”Master, do you know what has happened?” his mind stirred, and through Li Yuanba who had a connection with Elder Sword, he asked Elder Sword using a sound transmission.

Elder Zuo had not mentioned anything when he left, which showed the urgency of the situation, or perhaps even if Elder Zuo told Li Shiming what it was, it would not help but might instead cause trouble.

Regardless of what had happened, Li Shiming wanted to know the reason; the feeling of not being in control was quite unsettling to him.

”I have just become a Nascent Soul Cultivator and have not truly integrated into the Nascent Soul System of Beishu Continent. They did not share the reason with me, but I can sense a terrifying aura belonging to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage approaching Beishu Continent!” Elder Sword had no hesitation and answered Li Yuanba’s question through sound transmission.

Li Yuanba was startled; since he had arrived on Beishu Continent, after encountering the Nascent Soul Ancestors, he had not heard of Nascent Soul Ancestors being categorized into early, middle, or late stages.

He knew there must be stages within the Nascent Soul Stage, but for some reason, the Nascent Soul Ancestors on Beishu Continent seemed to be of the same stage, without any divisions, and each Nascent Soul Ancestor’s status was equal.

Just like Elder Sword, who had recently become a Nascent Soul Ancestor, after being accepted by the other Nascent Soul Ancestors, he was treated as a cultivator of the same stage.

This was unlike the Golden Core Stage, where a newly promoted cultivator, in front of Middle Late Stage Golden Core Cultivators, had a much lesser status.

”Could it be that there are no Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners in Beishu Continent?” Li Yuanba seized the opportunity to ask further.

”Actually, I should also tell you, let’s first settle these cultivators and then I will explain to you in detail!” Elder Sword said with a smile.

The gathering concluded, and the Nascent Soul Ancestors departed, leaving the Golden Core cultivators to be escorted away by Golden Core practitioners sent by the Senluo Sect.

Like Grand Elder Lan Hongxi from the Yin Yang Sect and Grand Elder Mo Bao from the Earth Evil Sect, who needed the Senluo Sect along with the three great Righteous Path sects to inform and coordinate in advance, to avoid any mishaps as these two passed through the Righteous Path domain on their way back.

Of course, these matters only needed Elder Sword to give the order, and Sect Elders from the sect would take care of them.

Li Shiming did not linger in the Senluo Sect but left with his senior sister Ye Jingxian and Elder Wei Xi.

In times of major events, it was safer to stay within the walls of Shushan Sect.

Back at Chongxiao Peak, Elder Sword appeared slightly worried and gestured for Li Yuanba to sit on the chair opposite him.

Li Yuanba poured a cup of Spiritual Tea for Elder Sword, then sat down.

”Yuan Ba, you’re now in the Golden Core Middle Stage, and with your talents, the prospect of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage is very high; you also need to consider the matters of the future,” Elder Sword said, taking a sip of the Spiritual Tea and looking at Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba adjusted his posture, knowing that what Elder Sword was about to discuss might be extremely important to him.

”You earlier asked about the Nascent Soul Middle Stage; I can tell you specifically, there are currently no Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners in Beishu Continent, the strongest are merely close to the peak of the Nascent Soul Early Stage. Even in the history of Beishu Continent, those who have advanced to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage are no more than a handful,” Elder Sword spoke slowly.

”Master, I don’t understand. Although the cultivation techniques in the sect are not as profound as ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique,’ surely cultivating to the later stages of Nascent Soul shouldn’t be a problem; why does this situation occur?” Li Yuanba asked, puzzled.

”It’s simple, because of resources. The quality of fourth-grade resources in Beishu Continent is not sufficient to support a practitioner from the early to middle stage of Nascent Soul, unless it is a rare genius with shocking talent who could rely on limited resources to break through the shackles.

Normal practitioners at the early stage of Nascent Soul have a lifespan of a thousand years, but subtracting the lifespan consumed before, the actual time left for cultivation in the Nascent Soul Early Stage is only about five to six hundred years.”
