Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1943 - 1018: The Meeting

The lightning released by Li Shiming continuously struck the energy shield of Wen Chao Great Power.

Although the target of the lightning attack was Wen Chao Great Power, occasionally some lightning would splash aside, and any object within the Feiyu Sect’s mountain gate could not withstand the power of this lightning.

Soon, the inside of the Feiyu Sect’s mountain gate became dilapidated, with many buildings reduced to charred remains.

Wen Chao Great Power couldn’t care less about these, or rather, being in the joint formation formed by the ’Beidou Formation Map’ and the ’Nine Heavens Star Constellation Array Diagram’, he couldn’t sense the scene of the mountain gate being attacked.

He could only continuously draw energy from the Grotto Heaven to resist the ongoing lightning attacks.

"When will you arrive?" Wen Chao Great Power reluctantly maintained his stance, thinking secretly.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to contact other Great Powers of the Central State Continent, but being within the joint formation, he couldn’t even locate the position of the Communication Array, let alone contact the outside world.

Under normal circumstances, Great Powers are mostly in their Inheritance Cave Heaven, requiring special Communication Arrays to establish contact.

Li Shiming was in an excellent mood. Even though he had slain Great Power Avatars and Great Powers before, he never had the power to crush them head-on; it was always achieved through various external means.

Now, it’s different. He didn’t need to summon a Spiritual Pet, nor use special means; just relying on Thunder Skill, he could suppress Wen Chao Great Power.

Under his lightning attack, Wen Chao Great Power couldn’t even counterattack.

"The Great Power Avatar is coming!" Li Shiming suddenly sensed something and looked in a direction.

He didn’t stop his lightning attack but with a slight move of his mind, a phantom avatar appeared by his side.

He then summoned one hundred and eight ’Eternal Water Bears’, forming armor to equip the phantom avatar.

On the phantom avatar, he left the ’Space Rules’ and ’Thunder Rules’, and gave him the spiritual treasure ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ made from fourth-grade materials previously.

He himself used the fifth-grade spiritual treasure ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ obtained from the Yuqing Sect Great Power, which was also for temporary use.

The phantom avatar performed a space movement, its figure disappearing beside the main body.

"Li Shizhen greets Sword Elder!" The phantom avatar appeared a thousand miles outside the Feiyu Sect’s mountain gate and also saw the first arriving Great Power Avatar, stepping forward to salute.

"Hiss!" Sword Elder’s avatar couldn’t help but gasp upon seeing the phantom avatar.

Although it was Li Shiming’s phantom avatar in front of him, from the aura on the phantom avatar, he could deduce that Li Shiming’s realm was that of a Great Power, and the phantom avatar before him was a Great Power Avatar.

Even though he knew Li Shiming’s talent was astonishing, and on par with Li Yuanba as a prodigy of the same era, he hadn’t expected Li Shiming to actually ascend to become a Great Power.

Thinking about the previous discussions among several Great Powers, they all believed that Li Shiming would never ascend to become a Great Power but would instead die from going mad.

Sword Elder’s avatar couldn’t help but shake his head; all the Great Powers were wrong, and spectacularly so.

Li Shiming’s talent was far beyond the expectations of all the Great Powers.

"So it’s Mr. Li, congratulations on your ascension to the Mahayana Realm!" Sword Elder’s avatar regained composure, smiled, and returned the salute, then asked, "Could you stop the attack on Feiyu Sect, Mr. Li?"

"Sword Elder, it’s not that I’m not giving you face, but Feiyu Sect almost killed my mentor and wanted to take over my sect, Ten Thousand Beast Sect. If I hadn’t returned in time, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and my mentor would have been annihilated by Feiyu Sect!" The phantom avatar replied with a wry smile.

Sword Elder paused upon hearing this, understanding the enormity of this enmity.

In the Cultivation World, the relationship between mentors and apprentices is the closest; avenging a mentor is nearly equivalent to avenging a father, and the same applies to sects.

Feiyu Sect’s actions justified Li Shiming’s retaliation, but the problem was that the major superpowers of the Central State Continent were allies in the external realm, leaving Sword Elder conflicted on whether to intervene.

It’s important to know that the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and Ten Thousand Beast Sect are also allies, and Ten Thousand Beast Sect has deep ties with the Central State Continent. Luanyang Palace is also an ally of Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and with certain business collaborations in the Central State Continent, Ten Thousand Beast Sect was considered the best partner of the Central State Continent before the matter with Feiyu Sect.

Due to the alliance between Ten Thousand Beast Sect and Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, Sword Elder couldn’t deem Li Shiming an outsider, and the joint external agreement of the Central State Continent superpowers only targeted outsiders.

"How far do you wish to go?" Sword Elder considered and asked.

"It’s enough to kill Wen Chao; I didn’t intend to annihilate Feiyu Sect!" The phantom avatar replied in a deep voice.

"Mr. Li, Feiyu Sect also has free Great Powers, and besides, every superpower is a cornerstone of the Cultivation World. Now that you’re in the Mahayana Realm, Ten Thousand Beast Sect will naturally ascend to a superpower, and some of the Cultivation World’s secrets will also be open to you.

Why not stop the attack on Wen Chao, let me explain the secrets of the Cultivation World to you, and then you decide!" Sword Elder advised.

"Sword Elder, you’re too late!" The phantom avatar paused slightly at the words, then shook his head helplessly.

Sword Elder understood the meaning behind the phantom avatar’s words, sighing heavily.

He had known Wen Chao Great Power for nearly two thousand years, but hadn’t expected Wen Chao Great Power to fall first.

On the other side, when Sword Elder appeared, Li Shiming knew his time was limited and needed to make a decision.

In fact, from the beginning of the battle, he hadn’t fought with full strength; he needed a large amount of combat to test his combat power.
