Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1413 - 753: Pursuit
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Li Yuanba’s stubborn resolve was at its peak; he knew the direction he was tracking was correct, and did not give up the pursuit despite failing to find the location where the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner left the space.
He kept deploying the ’Divine Foot Skill’, continuously executing space movement in the direction of pursuit.
At the same time, he constantly paid attention to the changes in space, believing that as long as there was a change in space just now, he would surely detect it.
It did not take long before his pursuit was blocked by a temple.
With a slight narrowing of his eyes, he felt the spatial fluctuations inside the temple.
Though this temple was protected by a large formation, his familiarity and sensitivity to spatial energy allowed him to detect strong spatial fluctuations.
Looking at the temple before him, he was almost certain that his target, the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner, was inside.
He also speculated on the means the opponent used, having seen similar descriptions in some space-related ancient texts.
Some beings who wield powerful spatial methods can set up a Space Acceptance Array, and with the activation of corresponding Space Talismans within its range, one can be transmitted directly to the Space Acceptance Array location.
Li Yuanba had been in the Cultivation World for quite some time, but he had never personally seen such a Space Acceptance Array.
In the Cultivation World, cultivators who truly master Space Divine Power are extremely rare.
Take the Divine Foot Skill, for example; strictly speaking, his ability to grasp it was entirely due to his own fortune, because the Beishu Continent was too secluded, and the Buddhist Sect there had the inheritance of Divine Foot Skill, which accidentally fell into his hands, allowing him the chance to learn it.
In other continents, even getting in touch with the Buddhist Sect is extremely difficult, let alone obtaining the inheritance of Divine Foot Skill from them.
"Little Lei Yin Temple!" he read out the temple’s name.
Upon seeing the name Little Lei Yin Temple, he recognized what kind of establishment this was.
Just from the name, Little Lei Yin Temple can be inferred to be related to Da Leiyin Temple, and in truth, this is indeed the case; in the Cultivation World, there is only one Da Leiyin Temple, and temples spread in other regions are called Little Lei Yin Temples.
It seemed that this time, the task target had quite a connection with the Little Lei Yin Temple, otherwise, they wouldn’t have the opportunity to be teleported to the Little Lei Yin Temple for protection.
"If this were Da Leiyin Temple, I would turn around and leave; but it’s merely Little Lei Yin Temple, daring to shelter the enemies of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!" Li Yuanba said in a deep voice.
His voice, transmitted through the Spiritual Power Pattern, could spread very far; presumably, his words would certainly reach inside Little Lei Yin Temple.
He awaited the response of Little Lei Yin Temple; if the other party handed over his mission target, he would take the mission target and not further trouble Little Lei Yin Temple.
But if Little Lei Yin Temple refused to hand over the mission target, he would personally take the mission target away.
"Amitabha, Little Lei Yin Temple is a place beyond worldly affairs, I kindly ask the benefactor not to disturb!" came a Buddhist chant, and from within Little Lei Yin Temple stepped forth a monk.
Li Yuanba’s gaze sharpened suddenly; he hadn’t expected such a small Little Lei Yin Temple would produce a Great Venerable.
He began to suspect whether this was a trap for him, deliberately using the mission target, the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner, to lead him here.
Without the slightest hesitation, he suppressed the Xingyi Sword—now a top-level Fourth Grade Magical Treasure—to float beside him, ’Chaos Sword Intent’ filled every space within the Xingyi Sword, faint ripples appeared in the void in front of Xingyi Sword.
Though ’Chaos Sword Intent’ can manifest various Sword Intents, the power of its own Sword Intent is most terrifying.
Li Yuanba immediately unleashed the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ developed by his main body, Li Shiming, and IBMz15 after ten years of research; he was prepared to face the Great Venerable head-on.
Great Venerable Hongfa was momentarily stunned at Li Yuanba’s reaction.
Despite having encountered many cultivators throughout his life, including numerous Sword Cultivators, he never expected that a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator would dare to draw his sword in response to the Great Venerable’s wards.
Did the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator before him believe he could face the Great Venerable’s wrath, or did he think the Great Venerable wouldn’t dare act against the Sword Cultivators of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion?
Great Venerable Hongfa did not recognize Li Yuanba, and in truth, this wasn’t a trap targeted at Li Yuanba.
The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner who fled here was an external intelligence chief of Da Leiyin Temple; though of secular status, they were also a secret member of Da Leiyin Temple.
The fleeing intelligence chief hadn’t had the chance to explain the situation yet, unexpectedly pursued by a Sword Cultivator.
Great Venerable Hongfa only came out intending to chase away the Sword Cultivator, believing that with his Great Venerable status, the Sword Cultivator, upon sighting him here, would turn around and leave.
Great Venerables are equivalent to Great Cultivators, the difference in titles merely distinct in the Buddhist Sect to differentiate the Buddhist Gate from other sects.
"Slash!" Li Yuanba shouted abruptly, his Xingyi Sword suddenly shot forward.
His shout had only just escaped his lips, the sound hadn’t yet reached Great Venerable Hongfa’s ears, and the Xingyi Sword had already struck Great Venerable Hongfa’s defense.
This strike triggered the hidden defensive shield on Great Venerable Hongfa, in the flickering of Buddha light, Great Venerable Hongfa seemed to stand within golden light, appearing sacred and solemn.
But the expression on his face did not maintain this sacred solemnity for long, suddenly shifting drastically.
With a swift wave of his hand, his arm motion transformed his kasaya into a shield, blocking in front of the Xingyi Sword.
"Tzzz!" With the sound of fabric tearing, Great Venerable Hongfa retreated somewhat embarrassedly into the protected range of Little Lei Yin Temple’s formation.
