Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 560 - 326 Inventory Check_2

Only two flying sword magical treasures were left behind; the quality of the flying swords was exceptionally high, truly high-grade magical treasures.

Upon counting, there were no other spiritual objects left in the two space rings, which somewhat disappointed Li Yuanba, who had thought he might find something like a jade scroll in the space ring of the Great Arhat.

However, he quickly considered that since he had not killed the two Great Arhats himself, the gains he already made were substantial.

He cleaned out the cave once more, stowing everything that could be moved into the space ring.

When he left, there were not many valuables left in the cave; he moved a giant rock back in place to block its entrance.

Perhaps at some time in the future, a cultivator might discover the existence of this cave.

As a Golden Core Elder, particularly a wealthy one, what he disregarded might be seen by ordinary cultivators as something that could potentially change their fate.

"Qianye Temple, let’s see if I can take revenge; otherwise, my anger will not subside!" Li Yuanba thought while returning to Jieshan City.

Of course, although he was now a Golden Core Sword Cultivator and even possessed the strength to fight against late-stage Golden Core cultivators, going after Qianye Temple, a major sect, would be akin to throwing an egg against a rock.

It was only because of drone assistance that he had the opportunity to track down the two Great Arhats this time.

Thinking of the research at his true body, Li Shiming’s side, perhaps he could try to use that research to cause some trouble for Qianye Temple.

Just as he was about to return to Jieshan City, he suddenly looked up at the sky.

It was already morning, and although the sunlight was not strong, it brightened the sky significantly.

Li Yuanba felt an indescribable oppressive sensation, nearly causing him to fall from his flying sword.

Fortunately, his control over Sword Escape was exceptionally strong, which kept him from falling.

The oppressive feeling came from above in the sky; when he looked up, he saw that the previously bright sky had turned pitch black over a large area directly above him in a short time.

It seemed as if dark clouds were blocking the sunlight, but he knew well that it wasn’t clouds.

He was extremely familiar with today’s weather conditions; drones high in the sky were constantly collecting various kinds of data.

His mind stirred, and his divine thought entered his visor, taking control of the drone.

The drone in the sky at ten thousand meters flipped its body, its camera, which was initially pointing towards the ground, now faced the sky.

Through the visor, Li Yuanba saw two figures confronting each other in the midst of the darkness.

These two figures did not conceal their aura; though obscured by darkness, the infrared thermal imaging transmitted the thermal images of the two figures.

The positions of these two were in the Thirty-Three Heavens, and they were at an extremely high position within the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"It’s Nascent Soul Ancestors fighting!" he muttered to himself.

He even guessed that one of the Nascent Soul Ancestors was probably Ancestor Lu, while the other might be one of the Venerables from Qianye Temple.

At this thought, he began to worry.

He did not want his own issues to endanger Ancestor Lu.

With his strength, there was nothing he could do, except pray, hope that Ancestor Lu would be victorious.

Clearly, Li Yuanba was not aware of the affairs among Nascent Soul Ancestors; the conflict between the two Nascent Soul Ancestors didn’t erupt into a large battle as he had envisioned but ended after mutual probing.

The confrontation lasted no longer than thirty minutes, and then the sky cleared again.

The two figures that the drone had seen also vanished; a battle involving a Nascent Soul Ancestor unfolded and ended quietly, unbeknownst to most Cultivators.

Qianye Temple suffered considerable losses this time, with the loss of two Great Arhats enraging Venerable Huijing, who immediately flew to the Jieshan Mountain Pass.

While preparing to return to his Sect, Ancestor Lu sensed the arrival of Venerable Huijing and, of course, went to meet him immediately.

Venerable Huijing normally wouldn’t act so irrationally. Being a Venerable who had practiced Buddhism for hundreds of years, the two Great Arhats were his proudest disciples, the bearers of his mantle throughout these centuries.

Their complete loss here meant the destruction of his centuries of effort, something no one could remain indifferent to.

However, when Venerable Huijing confronted Ancestor Lu in the Thirty-Three Heavens, calmness soon returned to his mind.

If the conflict were to escalate to the level of Nascent Soul, especially initiated by Qianye Temple’s provocation, it was plausible that the other two major Sects of the Righteous Path might not intervene immediately. Merely the time spent in disputes could result in debilitating damage for both Qianye Temple and the Senluo Sect.

Although Qianye Temple’s relationship with the two major Righteous Path Sects was allied, they had to consider the issue of cultivation resources; in case Qianye Temple’s losses were too significant, the other two Sects would undoubtedly vie for its resources.

Alliances require power to sustain; Qianye Temple must at least not engage in a war at the Nascent Soul level with the Senluo Sect alone.

Not to mention, this action by Venerable Huijing wasn’t sanctioned by Qianye Temple. While he wielded significant influence in the temple, other Venerables existed, and it was hard to say whether they would support his actions.

In the end, though Venerable Huijing’s thunder was loud, the rain was slight; after exchanging a move with Ancestor Lu, he ceased fighting.

Furthermore, being in the wrong, Venerable Huijing found himself at a loss for words against Ancestor Lu.

The pride within Li Yuanba crumbled after witnessing several events; he could no longer muster it.

From encountering the aftermath of a battle between two Nascent Souls at sea to the strike by Ancestor Lu’s Golden Corpse, and finally the oppressive aura from the standoff between two Nascent Soul Ancestors in the Thirty-Three Heavens, all forced Li Yuanba to confront his own insignificance anew.

Not long after returning to Jieshan City, Jiang Pu, Zhen Cheng, and Shi Can, three Golden Core Elders of the Senluo Sect at Jieshan Mountain Pass, sent messages inquiring about what had happened.

Initially, Li Yuanba sent out a request for assistance to his Sect; then, the oppressive presence of a Nascent Soul Ancestor ensued. Naturally, the first thought of the three Golden Core Elders was that something had occurred near Li Yuanba, attracting a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Likewise, Ying Hou, Xin Tong, and Mu Peng, three Golden Core Elders from Righteous Path at the Jieshan Mountain Pass, also sent their regards.

They too had sensed the standoff between the two great Nascent Souls in the sky.

Li Yuanba thanked each of them for their concern, and tactfully described today’s events, mentioning only that he had been attacked but fortunately rescued by the timely appearance of his Master Ancestor.

After hearing of the involvement of Li Yuanba’s Master Ancestor, the six Golden Core Elders from both the righteous and demonic paths refrained from further inquiries; they knew who Ancestor Lu was, a cornerstone of the Senluo Sect, held in high esteem.

They couldn’t help but envy Li Yuanba; having a Nascent Soul Ancestor as a Master Ancestor was one thing, but having one readily act on his behalf was quite another.

Among them, some also had Nascent Soul Ancestors as Master Ancestors, yet they could hardly even meet their faces, let alone request their intervention.

With the matter regarding Li Yuanba concluded, on the other side, Li Shiming, who seldom left the Sect, did not head back right away but instead took out his magical artifact, the Meteor Ink Boat, and sat inside the Flying Boat Magical Treasure, flying at a moderate pace.

Since obtaining and consecrating the Meteor Ink Boat as his magical artifact, this was his first time using it.

The greatest advantage of the Meteor Ink Boat was its strong defensive power, followed by its speed.

If Li Shiming were to use his own Spiritual Power, he could enable the Meteor Ink Boat to defend against attacks from cultivators of the same rank. This made it not just a defensive magical artifact but one that, even under attack, could maintain a certain speed.

Sitting inside the Meteor Ink Boat, he could still utilize attack magical artifacts or cast spells; as long as his internal spiritual power was sufficient, he need not consider defense and could focus entirely on attacking until the Meteor Ink Boat was breached.

Thus, this type of Flying Boat Magical Treasure was extremely precious, more complicated to produce than ordinary magical artifacts, requiring many specialized master craftsmen to work together for its creation.

His Meteor Ink Boat, a high-grade magical treasure, was only possible because the original owner, Elder Lv, was a powerful elder of the Senluo Sect, capable of affording such a luxury.

As the Meteor Ink Boat flew through the air, it needed no identification, and no cultivator dared to intercept; any Golden Core cultivator who owned a Flying Boat Magical Treasure was not to be trifled with.
