Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1811 - 952: Discovery

Li Yuanba made his way back to the West Yan Continent. Initially, his intention wasn't to visit this land, a conscious effort to avoid the notice of Great Power Luo Yuan from the Yuqing Sect.

However, the objective of a recently accepted pursuit mission had shifted its coordinates to the West Yan Continent.

Furthermore, intel gathered from various channels indicated that Great Power Luo Yuan hadn't been seen at the Yuqing Sect's mountain gate for quite some time.

The Yuqing Sect's disciple count at their mountain gate, once exceeding two thousand, had dwindled over the years to a mere three hundred, struggling to survive under the leadership of Sect Master Gu Ran.

This dwindling presence instilled a sense of confidence in Li Yuanba; he genuinely believed he couldn't be so unlucky as to be detected by Great Power Luo Yuan.

He was unable to accept missions involving the super powers of the Central State Continent, a restriction that significantly limited his mission choices.

He was unwilling to abandon this particular mission. A Great Cultivator from a prominent sect had been responsible for the demise of three Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion during a skirmish, an act that prompted the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion to issue a high-priority mission.

Perched on the back of the Golden Winged Dapeng, Li Yuanba's gaze landed on the distant West Yan Continent.

Following several precise spatial jumps by the Golden Winged Dapeng, he materialized above the West Yan Continent.

He produced a spiritual artifact, resembling a mobile phone, which functioned as a communication device for unmanned drone satellites.

He hadn't been idle in the intervening years.

In strategically important regions, he had meticulously deployed these unmanned drone satellites.

A single unmanned drone satellite, if undisturbed, possessed the capability to operate for over a century.

Nevertheless, the surveillance capacity of these unmanned drone satellites was not particularly potent; it merely capitalized on the informational disadvantages, as cultivators remained oblivious to their existence, thus enabling covert observation.

The most straightforward method to elude detection by unmanned drone satellites involved a minor technique to render oneself invisible and mask one's thermal signature, thereby preventing any discovery.

Fortunately, up to this point, the cultivation world remained unaware of Li Shiming and Li Yuanba's sophisticated unmanned drone satellite network, nor possessed the means to effectively counter it.

Li Yuanba initiated his reconnaissance over the West Yan Continent using the unmanned drone satellite system, focusing on assessing the immediate vicinity of the Great Cultivator.

He detected no anomalies in the Great Cultivator's surroundings, significantly bolstering his confidence that the situation was not a meticulously laid trap.

One couldn't fault his inherent caution; ever since the Great Powers from the super forces of the Central State Continent collectively agreed to withdraw from his competitive pursuits, his notoriety had only amplified.

His renown was acknowledged by numerous Great Powers, who recognized his capacity to influence the delicate equilibrium among the super forces.

Consequently, if opportunities arose, external continent super powers would not hesitate to eliminate him, thereby preventing the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion from accumulating excessive might.

Li Yuanba gently stroked the Golden Winged Dapeng, establishing a mental connection, and the magnificent bird comprehended his intentions.

The Golden Winged Dapeng immediately altered its trajectory, ascending into the vast expanse of the sky, and executed continuous spatial leaps, hurtling towards the precise location of the targeted Great Cultivator.

Lin Nian arrived on the West Yan Continent and sought sanctuary with a major power, the Thousand Bird Sect.

He shared a profound bond of friendship, bordering on brotherhood, with a Great Cultivator within the Thousand Bird Sect, which was the primary reason for his acceptance by the sect.

After integrating into the Thousand Bird Sect, he made infrequent appearances, rarely revealing his presence.

His reclusiveness stemmed from a single imperative: to avoid revealing his current location, as he was actively being pursued by the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

His journey to the West Yan Continent had been undertaken under the guidance of a venerable sage.

The West Yan Continent was known as a region where the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion's influence was notably diminished. It was home to the White Emperor Sect, whose unique 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism' ability served as a formidable countermeasure against Sword Cultivators, thus discouraging their presence in this continent.

Despite a previous defeat in a conflict against the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, the White Emperor Sect's 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism' remained a significant deterrent for Sword Cultivators.

Given the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion's current aggressive momentum, Lin Nian recognized the critical necessity of finding a locale with minimal Sword Cultivator presence to evade their relentless pursuit.

The Thousand Bird Sect did not possess a Grotto Heaven. Its ascendance to the status of a major sect was attributed to the emergence of a particularly capable Great Cultivator.

Since Lin Nian's induction into the Thousand Bird Sect, the sect's overall strength had seen a considerable augmentation, enabling them to secure a greater share of resources in recent times.

Today, an unsettling wave of unease washed over Lin Nian as he emerged from his cave dwelling, his gaze sweeping his surroundings in an attempt to pinpoint the source of his disquiet.

The reason soon became apparent; outside the Thousand Bird Sect's mountain gate, a Sword Light from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion materialized in the sky. It remained fixed, seemingly solidified, rather than fading away.

"Mr. Lin, has it come for you?" Cultivator Chu, detecting the Jian Family Sword Light, emerged from his dwelling. Upon seeing Lin Nian, he made a deduction and posed the question.

Lin Nian had joined the Thousand Bird Sect without disclosing his offense against Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Naturally, Cultivator Chu also grasped that Lin Nian would only have joined the Thousand Bird Sect if he had Courted significant trouble.

He never imagined Lin Nian would actually provoke Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

In the present cultivation world, if one were to name the most formidable super force, most cultivators would likely utter the name Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

While ordinary cultivators can't fully gauge the might of a Great Power, they can certainly assess the strength of a Peak Great Cultivator.

With achievements in slaying half-step Great Powers, Li Yuanba, a Peak Great Cultivator, established Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion's unmatched status among Great Cultivators.

"I apologize, Brother Chu. I did not anticipate they would arrive so swiftly!" Lin Nian replied with a rueful smile, shaking his head.

"Mr. Lin, you ought to depart from the Thousand Bird Sect. We simply cannot afford to provoke Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!" Cultivator Chu stated, his tone one of helplessness.
