Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1455 - 774: Reunion

On the fifteenth day after splitting up to eliminate Hell creatures, the two teams came together once more.

The reunion had been initiated by the superpower team from the other continent, since over those fifteen days, their group endured devastating casualties, nearly a hundred cultivators either wounded or slain, among them four Great Cultivators left in critical condition.

From what they knew, the Central State Continent’s team had merely lost three cultivators, with everyone else unscathed.

Facing such an intense mission and relentless combat, battling fourth-grade mid-to-late-stage Hell creatures every day, yet incurring only these light losses across fifteen days, naturally sparked the other continent’s team to seek answers.

As the two groups encountered each other, they sized one another up closely.

To the cultivators of the other continent’s teams, the Central State Continent’s group appeared bursting with vigor, every cultivator radiating robust energy and fierce battle spirit.

On the flip side, Central State Continent’s cultivators viewed the other continent’s team as utterly drained, each member worn out in body and spirit.

Right at the heart of their formation stood a cluster of injuries, holding more than thirty gravely hurt cultivators, four of whom were Great Cultivators.

"Is the situation this dire?" Great Cultivator Lou eyed the pitiful state of the other continent’s team and murmured softly despite himself.

Even though the Great Cultivators from the other continent’s teams received prior warnings, certain issues couldn't be fixed just through cautions alone.

During nonstop fights, unexpected mishaps are bound to happen.

Not even the Central State Continent’s team, equipped with the 'Space Acceptance Array' for quick escapes back to Hell Island, escaped without losing three cultivators to a sudden accident—imagine the even riskier position of the other continent’s team.

The cultivators from the other continent lacked those five mid-stage Golden Corpses boasting tremendous defense and zero fear of death to shield the front lines, and they also missed out on Li Yuanba’s 'Innate Wood' Divine Skills for swift aid.

With healing Spirit Pills in hand, the best they could do was steady a cultivator’s wounds; true recovery demanded pulling back to secure ground for extended recovery time.

"Who is Mr. Li Yuanba? Please, heal our cultivators!" A Great Cultivator from the opposite side scanned the Central State Continent’s cultivators and called out with clear urgency.

Once the teams connected, Li Yuanba’s unique healing techniques became impossible to conceal.

The Great Cultivators of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion hadn’t even responded yet when that Great Cultivator’s eyes locked onto Li Yuanba.

He’d identified Li Yuanba right away; Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect had pursued him relentlessly for ages, making Li Yuanba’s aura well-known to anyone familiar with the bounty posters.

"Please set aside the wounded cultivators from Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect; we'll treat everyone else!" Great Cultivator Lou declared gravely.

While in Hell Cave Heaven, every cultivator counted as an ally and old feuds should stay buried, picking and choosing who to heal didn’t qualify under those guidelines.

Cultivators always kept their vendettas straight and would never let Li Yuanba mend the wounds of Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect’s injured when deep hatreds lingered.

To shield Li Yuanba from potential harm, Great Cultivator Lou stepped in with this demand.

No sooner had Great Cultivator Lou spoken than one of the four injured Great Cultivators wore a deeply sour look, his booming thunderous aura revealing him as a Great Cultivator from Yuqing Sect.

The superpowers avoided blatantly isolating the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect’s wounded, since that would draw too much notice.

Even if the final toll stayed unchanged, this approach painted a marginally less harsh image.

They shifted over all the injured except those from Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect to Li Yuanba’s position, isolating the ones from the two sects.

Truth be told, Li Yuanba had already scanned the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect cultivators, noting that none of the Great Cultivators joining from either sect this round seemed familiar to him.

It came as no shock, given how perilous operations like purging Hell Cave Heaven proved, prompting sects to avoid sending their top Great Cultivators and favoring instead those skilled at countering Hell creatures, focusing on solid mid-to-high fighting prowess.

Skipping the feeblest Great Cultivators cut down on death risks, while holding back the mightiest preserved their role in a superpower’s territorial intimidation.

Should a peak Great Cultivator perish—or even just end up badly maimed—it would strike a heavy blow to the superpower’s vital stakes.

Every superpower picks its pair of Great Cultivators with precision, aiming for mutual support, effective control over Hell creatures, and minimal fallout for their own forces.

Without Great Cultivator Lou’s intervention for Li Yuanba, he’d have no qualms treating the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect wounded, since none carried personal beef with him.

Naturally, should real clashes erupt, he’d show no mercy in cutting down the cultivators of those two sects.

Li Yuanba began by applying a single 'Innate Wood' Divine Skill to each of the three hurt Great Cultivators. Though just one per person, their conditions showed clear improvement right away.

Moreover, the 'Innate Wood' Divine Skill’s power started to spread slowly, steadily mending the three Great Cultivators’ wounds as time passed.
