Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1337: Chapter 715: The Pursuit

”Wu’er, do you know what your master has done for you?” Great Cultivator Lou summoned his son Lou Wu, speaking with a sense of emotion.

Though the relationship between a cultivator and their disciple is even closer than that of a father and son in the mortal world.

But Lou Wu and Li Yuanba had just met, and it was Li Yuanba who saved Lou Wu’s life. Their master-disciple relationship was just newly formed, and the ceremony hadn’t even been held.

Look at what Li Yuanba did, almost turning the Qianren Sect upside down for the sake of his disciple’s vengeance.

”What did Master do?” Lou Wu hadn’t received any news, and he asked in surprise.

Great Cultivator Lou tossed a Jade Scroll containing the information to Lou Wu. It was only after Lou Wu received it that he understood what Li Yuanba had done.

”Is Master alright?” Lou Wu, sheltered by Great Cultivator Lou, hadn’t faced any hardships, and with a pure heart, he was most concerned about Li Yuanba’s situation after reading the Jade Scroll.

”Your master should be alright. I’ve already instructed the intelligence department to intensify the investigation. Once he is found, I’ll personally go to bring him back!” Great Cultivator Lou shook his head and said.

He was quite curious about the extent of the destruction suffered by the Qianren Sect, causing them to hide without disclosing their losses.

This matter would only have an answer once Li Yuanba returns and tells them.

Concern flickered in Lou Wu’s eyes. Although his father said Li Yuanba was fine, the uncertain tone suggested that Li Yuanba was likely missing.

Yet he was powerless and could only hope that his father would bring Li Yuanba back.

At the same time, he resolved to train diligently, so that if his strength were strong enough, it wouldn’t drag his master into taking risks.

In the following days, the White Emperor Sect, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, and other forces on the West Yan Continent were all searching for Li Yuanba’s whereabouts.

Li Yuanba, however, hid on a solitary mountain, protected by a Concealing Array laid out with Fourth Grade Array Flags, making it nearly impossible to discover the temporary cave dwelling unless an Array Master happened to pass by.

For ten days, he maintained his cultivation state.

Having never consumed spiritual energy so excessively before, he now realized the dangers of over-depleting spiritual energy through personal experience.

Ten days ago, his Nascent Soul was somewhat wilting.

The Nascent Soul of a Nascent Soul Cultivator is an energy entity composed of spirit, spiritual power, and the cultivator’s Origin Energy, containing the cultivator’s soul, essentially the true life of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

The physical death of a Nascent Soul Cultivator is not true death, but the death of the Nascent Soul signifies the complete obliteration of the cultivator.

Like the physical body of Great Cultivator Zhao Qingfeng, even though it was in a chamber avoiding death together with the Nascent Soul’s demise, the body without the Nascent Soul and spirit no longer had any connection to the original Great Cultivator Zhao Qingfeng.

Li Yuanba over-exerted his spiritual power, actually exhausting his Nascent Soul.

Fortunately, he had a Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pill to restore his spiritual power, ensuring his over-exertion didn’t fundamentally harm the Nascent Soul.

In ten days, the Nascent Soul revitalized, and his spiritual power recovered to a full state.

He collected the Fourth Grade Array Flags without concerning himself with the temporary cave dwelling.

Such temporary cave dwellings established by high-level cultivators are a driving force for many low-level cultivators to venture.

Even discarded items in an abandoned high-level cultivator’s cave are incredibly precious treasures to low-level cultivators despite being considered rubbish by high-level cultivators.

Like the temporary cave left by Li Yuanba, from which he abandoned some empty jade bottles that once contained Spirit Pills.

After leaving the cave, Li Yuanba employed ’Distance at Hand’ to head towards a base managed by Great Cultivator Lou.

”Why are there so many cultivators?” Moving through the air with constant Space Movement, his speed was unparalleled, yet he noticed something unusual along the way.

Compared to the number of cultivators he encountered when coming, the number has increased dozens of times.

He didn’t concern himself with them, as they seemed to be searching for something and he wouldn’t interfere as long as it didn’t impede him.

However, unbeknownst to him, the cultivators who spotted him would take out their communication tokens, reporting his movements.

Along the route to the base managed by Great Cultivator Lou, spies dispatched by various forces and cultivators tasked with investigation missions waited in groups.

Particularly along the route from the Qianren Sect to the base managed by Great Cultivator Lou, the largest number of cultivators was deployed.

Li Yuanba chose this shortest route to return to the base, and his movements were reported to various forces.

Li Yuanba calculated the time; there were still three two-hours until he could reach the base.

Suddenly, a shift occurred in his execution of ’Distance at Hand’, veering his direction as his body reappeared.

Before him stood Master Shi Dong on a medium-sized Flying Boat, watching him.

He used ’Divine Vision’ to scan the medium-sized Flying Boat, his eyes sparkling with clarity.

This medium-sized Flying Boat was of Fourth Grade Top Quality, a rarity even for super sects like the White Emperor Sect.

On the deck of the medium-sized Flying Boat stood twelve Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, whose auras suggested their prowess ranked among the top at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Master Shi Dong and the medium-sized Flying Boat appeared suddenly, clearly having meticulously prepared, waiting for Li Yuanba.

If not for Li Yuanba deftly redirecting ’Distance at Hand’ at the crucial moment, he might have landed right in front of Master Shi Dong.
