Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 576 - 334: Impact_2

Other Golden Core Elders of the Shushan Sect needed to line up and wait, but Li Yuanba’s channel could jump the queue. Almost as soon as the alchemy materials were provided, a Third Grade Advanced Spirit Pill would be delivered within a week.

This kind of interest relationship is more secure than simple friendship and is less likely to be betrayed.

Even if someone betrayed Li Yuanba, it would only deepen the suspicion, but the benefits they received outweighed what they lost.

The impact of this incident lasted for an entire month before it gradually began to subside.

However, just as the influence had just started to wane, another piece of news reheated the issue of the attack on Qianye Temple.

Rumors emerged from an unknown source that Venerable Huijing was seriously injured in the attack.

The source of this information was untraceable, but given the involvement of a Nascent Soul Ancestor, it was almost impossible to be false.

No one dared to spread rumors about a Nascent Soul Ancestor, especially not against one from a major sect.

After the news spread, Qianye Temple didn’t come forward to refute it, which further confirmed the authenticity of the news.

Following this news, Li Yuanba, who had been under the suspicion of many, was no longer doubted.

No cultivator believed that Li Yuanba could injure Venerable Huijing; instead, Ancestor Lu became the prime suspect.

Ancestor Lu, such an old devil, had just fought with Venerable Huijing and immediately plotted his revenge. This was all too common.

Ancestor Lu paid no attention to the rumors outside. In fact, as the investigation into the attack on Qianye Temple deepened, the six major sects realized there was a great deal of chance involved in the attack.

The actual power of the rocket was only three casts of "Thunder Cloud Skill," plus a sheet of fiery rain.

The area that was attacked just happened to be the residence of ordinary monks from Qianye Temple. Combined with the fact that Qianye Temple had never anticipated an attack within the temple and was completely unprepared, it allowed the rocket to achieve such results.

If the rocket were to strike again, regardless of which major sect’s gates it attacked,

the prepared sect would activate the power of the Sect Formation to intercept it as the rocket approached.

The Sect Protection Array isn’t just for defense; under the control of an Array Master, it can launch attacks as well.

Of course, the peace at the gate had lasted too long, to the point of thousands of years, which caused the Array Masters guarding the Sect Protection Array to lose their vigilance.

But the biggest loss to Qianye Temple was not from the rocket, or at least not directly from it; instead, it was due to the sudden onslaught of spiritual demons within Venerable Huijing.

Compared to Venerable Huijing’s spiritual demons, which only destroyed an already damaged area, the losses caused by Nascent Soul Ancestors under the influence of spiritual demons in history were much greater.

Li Shiming stared blankly at the intelligence sent by the Beishu Trading Company, which included the latest news about the attack on Qianye Temple.

He seldom got involved in the sect’s internal affairs, so the details of the Qianye Temple attack gathered by the sect were not communicated to him.

However, the intelligence system of the Beishu Trading Company was no less formidable than that of the six major sects. As an important Guest Elder of the Beishu Trading Company, he would receive intelligence on major incidents on the Beishu Continent periodically.

When Li Shiming saw that Venerable Huijing was beset by spiritual demons, he didn’t need to look further to guess that it was related to his alter ego, Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba, through the use of drones, had discovered two of Venerable Huijing’s Great Arhat Disciples, which Ancestor Lu had eliminated.

Out of anger, Venerable Huijing personally sought out Ancestor Lu for a battle. It was likely during that time that Venerable Huijing had sown the seeds of spiritual demons.

The rocket attack on Qianye Temple was the catalyst for Venerable Huijing’s spiritual demons.

Suddenly, Li Shiming burst into loud laughter, and at the same time, his alter ego Li Yuanba in his Cultivation Room also began to laugh heartily.

Having long endured the bullying of Qianye Temple, learning that Qianye Temple suffered revenge beyond their imagination lifted their spirits immensely, leaving them feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Both experienced a slight improvement in their realms. If they weren’t so far from the Golden Core Early Stage Peak, they would wonder if they could directly break through to the Golden Core Middle Stage with their current state of euphoria.

Li Shiming smiled for a while; he used his life-bound magical artifact, the IBMz15, to call up an image.

One part of his brain had always been focusing on this image, which showed the exact location where Patriarch Weng Zhao was hiding.

It wasn’t just Patriarch Weng Zhao— that place was also an important stronghold of the Skywalk Trading Company.

At this moment, Patriarch Weng Zhao was coming out of the stronghold. The reason Li Shiming recognized him at a glance was thanks to the unmanned satellite system’s camera, which boasts incredibly high-resolution capabilities, enough to identify someone based on their posture.

Of course, this was predicated on having collected that person’s posture beforehand.

Patriarch Weng Zhao was still flying at the speed of a Golden Core cultivator, which seemed to indicate he was still hiding his true strength.

Li Shiming’s brain quickly worked to infer potential destinations based on the direction in which Patriarch Weng Zhao was travelling.

Whoever could prompt Patriarch Weng Zhao to take action personally surely wouldn’t be a nobody.

Given that Patriarch Weng Zhao wasn’t aware he was being watched, his direction of travel would be inherently related to his objective.

After some deliberation, Li Shiming spotted a familiar name in that direction.

Ten Thousand Buddha Temple— this was a Buddhist power on the Beishu Continent, considered above average among the Buddhist sects.

But the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple didn’t exist merely in one location. As far as he knew, when he was originally on Sky Sea Island, there was a Ten Thousand Buddha Temple on the island, which was said to have ways to communicate with the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple on the Beishu Continent.

He became interested in this Ten Thousand Buddha Temple; after all, even the six major sects hadn’t established branches on other islands or continents, but the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple had done so.

Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple only existed in two locations, the Beishu Continent and Sky Sea Island. Or could there be other Ten Thousand Buddha Temples on other continents?

In any case, on the path that Patriarch Weng Zhao was taking, the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple was the only target that Li Shiming suspected.

After pondering for a moment, Li Shiming took out his Identity Jade Disc to send a message to his master, Elder Su.

The message content informed his master that he had received intelligence about a Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Skywalk Trading Company from a cultivator who owed him a favor, stating that this Nascent Soul Ancestor had appeared near the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

Elder Su didn’t doubt his disciple’s message. His disciple now had a larger network in the Beishu Continent than he did, whether it was the Golden Core Elders of the major sects or the Golden Core cultivators among the smaller sects and the Loose Cultivators.

Li Shiming’s relationship with those Golden Core cultivators was not an equal one; it was those Golden Core cultivators who were actively currying favor with Li Shiming.

The news of Li Shiming’s encounter with a Nascent Soul Ancestor attack had spread in the Cultivation World, mainly derived from the discussion of Li Shiming’s great fortune, with the Nascent Soul Ancestor attack serving as proof of Li Shiming’s profound luck.

If there truly was a cultivator who had discovered the whereabouts of the Skywalk Trading Company’s Nascent Soul Ancestor, they might indeed convey the message to Li Shiming to curry favor with him.

Before long, Li Shiming saw through the unmanned satellite system that Elder Zuo had flown out of the sect gate.

Elder Zuo’s departure didn’t provoke spatial fluctuations around him like the last time; the images transmitted by the unmanned satellite system showed a clear view of Elder Zuo.

Elder Zuo had concealed his aura, which suggested he believed the intelligence provided by Li Shiming.

Li Shiming didn’t stay at the sect anymore. Though he couldn’t partake in the battle against a Nascent Soul Ancestor, he could still bring some trouble to Patriarch Weng Zhao.

"Shiming is already a Golden Core cultivator; let him be," Elder Su murmured to himself when Li Shiming left the sect gate, having received the news from the Sect Formation. He didn’t try to stop his disciple; instead, he just shook his head and sighed lightly.

In the previous battle where Li Shiming clashed with twelve Golden Core cultivators, even though Li Shiming didn’t report it, four Flying Boats and the Formation traces on them were found at the scene afterward.

This meant that at least four Golden Core cultivators had been involved in that battle, and since the Flying Boats were left behind, those Golden Core cultivators were presumably killed by Li Shiming.

Li Shiming’s combat prowess was thus proven, and Elder Su didn’t want to overly restrict his disciple’s development.

While fortune comes with dangers, it also holds great potential to bring Li Shiming benefits. Looking at the achievements of Li Shiming now, isn’t it also a result of his abundant fortune?
