Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1774 - 933: The Scheme (Part 2)

Although he didn’t attain the status of a Great Cultivator while desperately fleeing for his life like Master Cui Cheng, he was nevertheless a part of the backdrop that facilitated Li Yuanba’s ascent to prominence.

Whether for the benefit of the Beidou Sect or for his own personal reasons, his desire was for Li Yuanba’s demise.

However, Li Yuanba’s formidable combat power had instilled a deep terror in him, an unforgettable dread that lingered.

"Since all of you could arrive here, it signifies you have received the sanction of your respective sects. I refuse to believe that with the combined might of our five families, we cannot eliminate a single Li Yuanba!" Great Cultivator Cui Cheng proclaimed loudly, a flicker of resolve igniting in his eyes.

He harbored a regret that the task of eliminating Li Yuanba could not involve the divine avatars of the powerful beings, and was strictly confined to conflicts between cultivators of equivalent standing.

These were the established protocols among the paramount powers; no one dared to transgress them.

Therefore, to confront Li Yuanba, the collaboration of the five families present was deemed essential to ensure Li Yuanba stood no chance.

Previous endeavors against Li Yuanba had met with failure, which provided them with invaluable insights for the forthcoming operation.

"The Guiyuan Sect pledges full cooperation; our sole objective is Li Yuanba’s death!" the representative from Guiyuan Sect declared. They were not a Peak Great Cultivator, as currently, no Peak Great Cultivator remained within their ranks.

The animosity between Guiyuan Sect and Li Yuanba had remained unresolved, particularly after a prominent figure from Guiyuan Sect suffered humiliation at Li Yuanba’s hands.

This time, they had been granted the authority to deploy the entirety of Guiyuan Sect’s resources to aid the other families in dispatching Li Yuanba.

"Da Leiyin Temple also offers its complete cooperation!" Great Venerable Ming Hai affirmed.

"Feiyu Sect will also fully cooperate!" added Great Cultivator Le.

Some words require no elaboration. The individuals gathered here were convened to orchestrate a unified effort. Regarding the matter of dealing with Li Yuanba, each sect had already finalized their respective decisions prior to this assembly.

In a mere span of several decades, Li Yuanba had rapidly advanced from a novice Great Cultivator to a formidable Peak Great Cultivator.

His combat prowess constituted a threat to the established interests of the superpowers across the Central State Continent. Considering Li Yuanba’s youth, even without further advancement, he possessed the potential to suppress the Peak Great Cultivators of these superpowers for millennia.

No superpower could countenance such a scenario. The implications for their vested interests were simply too substantial to be disregarded.

Should they consistently find themselves suppressed by the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion during contests of power and influence, the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion would inevitably grow even more formidable.

The Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had consistently maintained a resolute stance in its operations. If its strength were to increase further, the combined forces of the superpowers might find themselves incapable ofsubduing it.

"Very well, identifying an opportunity to deal with Li Yuanba will not be difficult. He is presently engaged in assignments across various locations. Establishing an ambush could lead to his capture.

However, to ensure his demise, a greater number of Great Cultivators will be required. Apart from myself, the Infinite Sect will also contribute five Great Cultivators!" Master Cui Cheng announced, propelling the meeting's agenda forward after witnessing the pledges from the other Great Cultivators, and presented the Infinite Sect’s decision.

"The Beidou Sect will also contribute, in addition to myself, five Great Cultivators, and a top-tier Grade Four Formation!" declared Great Cultivator Yu Chao of the Beidou Sect.

Subsequently, both Feiyu Sect and Da Leiyin Temple vocalized their commitments, each agreeing to dispatch a Peak Great Cultivator, accompanied by five cultivators whose prowess was second only to that of a Peak Great Cultivator.

This demonstrated the highest level of commitment the superpowers were prepared to offer. It could be asserted that, in their strategy to neutralize Li Yuanba, they had assembled an optimal contingent.

The attention of the four Great Cultivators shifted towards Guiyuan Sect, aware of their limitation in Peak Great Cultivators, and they awaited with anticipation to observe the strength Guiyuan Sect intended to deploy.

"Esteemed sirs, I contend that the forces you have outlined are insufficient!" The words spoken by the Great Cultivator of Guiyuan Sect took the other four Great Cultivators by surprise.

"This is still not enough? Even if Li Yuanba possessed three heads and six arms, he could not withstand such a multitude of Great Cultivators simultaneously. With the cooperative deployment of the Beidou Sect’s formation, it would not just be one Li Yuanba slain, but potentially several more," Master Cui Cheng stated, shaking his head.

"To be candid, if the objective is to eliminate Li Yuanba, resorting to extraordinary measures is imperative. I believe each of your families possesses unique, powerful artifacts!" The Great Cultivator from Guiyuan Sect directed his gaze towards the other four Great Cultivators and spoke with solemnity.

"How could such a thing be possible? What justification do we have for deploying artifacts of such magnitude from our respective Sects?" Master Cui Cheng comprehended his implication and shook his head in disagreement.

The other three individuals present also vigorously shook their heads. They understood that possessing the specialized artifacts mentioned by the Great Cultivator from Guiyuan Sect would dramatically enhance their capabilities when confronting Li Xiongba.

However, requisitioning such unique artifacts from within a sect is far from simple. Items potent enough to contend with Peak Great Cultivators are typically under the stringent control of the most powerful figures. Unless a compelling reason is presented, gaining the sect's approval for their release is extraordinarily difficult.

"Isn't Li Yuanba's ascent from an initial Great Cultivator to a Peak Great Cultivator in less than sixty years sufficient justification?" the Great Cultivator from Guiyuan Sect inquired calmly.

A profound silence immediately enveloped the room, and the gazes of the assembled Great Cultivators began to shift and ponder.

While some cultivators had indeed taken note of Li Yuanba's remarkably swift cultivation progression, such rapid advancements were not entirely unprecedented. The world of Cultivation has always seen its share of exceptionally fortunate individuals who, through sheer luck and circumstance, achieve meteoric ascents.

According to the intelligence gathered by their respective sects, Li Yuanba had remained within the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, immersed in solitary cultivation. In under six decades, he had successfully advanced from the initial Great Cultivator stage to the formidable Peak Great Cultivator Realm.

Even if the Great Cultivator from Guiyuan Sect had not voiced it, the underlying reasons for challenging Li Yuanba this time also involved investigating the secrets behind his rapid progress. Ultimately, exploring these secrets served their own interests.

The Great Cultivators present had deliberately refrained from mentioning this until prompted by their counterpart from Guiyuan Sect, recognizing the necessity of formally presenting this matter to their own sects to secure the utmost level of support.

"What specific plans does Guiyuan Sect propose?" Master Cui Cheng directed his question to the Guiyuan Sect's Great Cultivator.

"Guiyuan Sect will commit seven Great Cultivators to this endeavor and will also provide the 'Heart Inquiry Rope' to aid everyone in unraveling Li Yuanba's hidden secrets!" the Great Cultivator from Guiyuan Sect replied with a confident smile.

In truth, Guiyuan Sect dispatching an additional Great Cultivator was a strategic move, as two Great Cultivators couldn't truly match the combat prowess of a single Peak Great Cultivator. However, the inclusion of the 'Heart Inquiry Rope,' a truly peculiar artifact, absolved the other four Great Cultivators from demanding further assistance from Guiyuan Sect.

With the 'Heart Inquiry Rope' at their disposal, if Li Yuanba were to be captured alive, they could extract the secret behind his astonishing surge in power directly from him.

The four Great Cultivators exchanged meaningful glances, retrieving their communication devices to initiate contact with their respective sects.

A faint smile played on the lips of Guiyuan Sect’s Great Cultivator; he understood that without a little external pressure, these individuals would not fully commit to such a perilous undertaking.

He was keenly aware that only one opportune moment existed to confront Li Yuanba. Once Li Yuanba was adequately prepared, it would not be them challenging him, but rather Li Yuanba relentlessly pursuing and troubling them.

Considering Li Yuanba's immense combat capabilities, in a one-on-one confrontation, none of the Great Cultivators present from the major powers would stand a chance against him.

Under the onslaught of Li Yuanba's overwhelming power, even well-prepared survival methods might prove insufficient to trigger.

After a brief interval, the four Great Cultivators concluded their communications, turning to the Great Cultivator from Guiyuan Sect with satisfied smiles.

"Infinite Sect agrees to deploy the 'Infinite Fire Peak' for this operation!" Master Cui Cheng announced first.

"Beidou Sect will contribute the 'Beidou Formation Map' to this vital mission!" Great Cultivator Yu Chao added.

"In our engagement with Li Yuanba, I shall personally bring forth the 'Thunder Sound Bell'!" Great Venerable Ming Hai declared, his hands clasped in a meditative gesture.

"Feiyu Sect will lend the power of the 'Eye of the Storm' to this cause!" concluded Great Cultivator Le.

The five Great Cultivators assembled were struck with expressions of profound astonishment. Regardless of the operation's ultimate outcome, this confrontation with Li Yuanba was destined to be etched into the annals of history.

The deployment of five such extraordinary treasures and artifacts in a single engagement was an event of unprecedented magnitude, unheard of even throughout the history of the Immortal World.

"Even should Li Yuanba fall, his name will be immortalized in the records. He will meet a death of great honor," Master Cui Cheng uttered with a sigh.
