Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1257: Chapter 675: Power

Since Great Cultivator Luo Pei arrived at the fifth resource point, all the Nascent Soul cultivators that appeared nearby have vanished.

This greatly reassured the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of Fuliu Sect stationed there. They had no intention of disturbing Great Cultivator Luo Pei, as there wasn’t much common ground for communication between a Great Cultivator and ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

It had been a peaceful month, and Li Shiming thought that if nothing happened after a while, he could return to the sect.

But on this day, the warning signal from the resource point’s protective formation sounded, alerting Li Shiming who was cultivating.

Li Shiming was within a grotto heaven, with five Nascent Souls cultivating within him when he sensed that Great Cultivator Luo Pei was at his weakest outside.

He instructed his Water Thunder Nascent Soul to stop cultivating and issued a warning to the Heavenly Ghost.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei opened his eyes. Information from the protective formation indicated that twelve mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators had surrounded the fifth resource point.

He was shocked; without a Great Cultivator present, twelve mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators dared to besiege a resource point guarded by a Great Cultivator!

What he didn’t know was that the opponents were indeed scared off by his arrival.

However, as the opponents conducted intelligence operations, they discovered that Great Cultivator Luo Pei had taken over the fifth resource point.

As for who Great Cultivator Luo Pei was, he only had a bit of fame among Loose Cultivators, but to major or superpowers, he was just a lucky Loose Cultivator.

Among the vast number of Loose Cultivators, some are bound to get lucky. Especially after achieving mid-stage Nascent Soul, it’s a rare occurrence for one to advance to Great Cultivator.

Yet such Loose Cultivators, due to their poor foundations, have embarrassingly weak actual combat power.

They are indeed stronger than ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, but compared to sect Great Cultivators, they are the weakest.

And such Loose Cultivator Great Cultivators are often stepping stones for core cultivators of superpowers to gain fame.

There are many ways to gain fame in the Cultivation World. For instance, Li Shiming, through his alchemy skills, gained the reputation of being the number one Alchemy Master in Dongqi Continent.

For a core cultivator seeking the quickest path to fame, battle is naturally the way to go.

If a core mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from a superpower were to defeat, even slay, a Great Cultivator at mid-stage Nascent Soul, their fame would spread far and wide.

Now, Great Cultivator Luo Pei is no longer a Loose Cultivator Great Cultivator but a sect’s Great Cultivator, though his strength remains at the Loose Cultivator Great Cultivator level.

Upon realizing this, core cultivators from factions previously eyeing the fifth resource point became eager, wishing to use Great Cultivator Luo Pei to gain fame.

Of course, after slaying Great Cultivator Luo Pei, they could also seize control of the fifth resource point and complete the sect’s mission. It would be truly perfect.

Li Shiming had no idea what these mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators outside were thinking. The sudden arrival of twelve mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators made him sense their determination.

The Nascent Soul cultivators previously sent to probe the resource point, whether in number or quality, were incomparable to now.

However, the twelve mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were somewhat cautious and did not attack immediately, giving him some time to prepare.

The Water Thunder Nascent Soul finished cultivating and was sent out of the grotto heaven by Li Shiming, entering into the body of Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

With the Water Thunder Nascent Soul’s help, Great Cultivator Luo Pei could at least use the divine skills ”Divine Foot Skill”, ”Divine Eye Skill”, and ”Telepathy”.

”Junior Master Luo!” The Sound Transmission Technique flew into the cave from outside, and Great Cultivator Luo Pei flew out of the cave, seeing three mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators standing outside the cave with panic, anxiously greeting him.

”Stay within the formation, I’ll go out and deal with them!” Great Cultivator Luo Pei instructed in a deep voice.

Their actions were a definite challenge to a Great Cultivator.

If the opponents had been Great Cultivators, he would have used the formation as a barrier, but they were mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and he could not do that without losing face as a Great Cultivator.

Flashing out of the fifth resource point, he soared into the sky.

This was his way to signal to the opponent that this was a fight to the death.

The destructive power of Nascent Soul cultivators is immense and could cause devastating destruction to the surrounding environment.

The twelve mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators saw that Great Cultivator Luo Pei didn’t intend to rely on the formation and followed him into the sky.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei reached the Thirty-Three Heavens, standing in the void, coldly watching the arrival of the twelve mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Both sides stood their ground in the void, just outside Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s attack range.

This made him frown slightly. Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s combat prowess was no secret; anyone who located the other two Great Cultivators on Anyu Island, or some cultivators near them, could know his combat capabilities.

The opponents stationed outside his attack range was no coincidence; it was a result of thorough investigation.

This showed the opponent’s great confidence in dealing with him, not a rash attempt at an over-leveled challenge.

”Which faction do you belong to?” Great Cultivator Luo Pei asked calmly.

”Fan Xiang of the Infinite Sect, here to challenge!” A mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator standing at the rear of the twelve mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators replied with a slight smile.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei glared at the array of twelve mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators; Fan Xiang was positioned in the core of the formation, the safest spot.
