Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1321 - 707: Campaign

The turmoil ignited by Great Cultivator Luo Pei within the Fuliu Sect was of such magnitude that the Sect found it impossible to suppress the news, no matter how hard they tried.

Numerous spies from external Sects were embedded deep within the Fuliu Sect. Had Great Cultivator Mao Jing or Great Cultivator Hu Shiming managed to return to their headquarters in time, they might have been able to contain the reports.

Unfortunately, both Great Cultivators were positioned far away during the crisis and could not make it back. Meanwhile, the Fuliu Sect had descended into absolute chaos following the invasion by Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

Consequently, details regarding the Fuliu Sect's devastating losses leaked out. Several Nascent Soul Cultivators who had entered the Yimu Cave Heaven to investigate discovered that the Divine Tree, the Treasure Pavilion, and the Book Collection Pavilion had all vanished.

Originally, the Fuliu Sect had established a firm alliance based on its status as a great power. However, with the loss of their core "Innate Wood" Divine Skills inheritance, the foundations of this alliance became incredibly fragile.

Li Shiming had not anticipated that his strike against the Fuliu Sect would trigger such a massive chain reaction, potentially reducing a Sect with a ten-thousand-year history to mere dust.

He was only certain of one thing: Great Cultivator Luo Pei was now the target of immense scrutiny. Almost the entire Central State Continent and the broader Cultivation world were aware that Great Cultivator Luo Pei had plundered the Fuliu Sect’s "Innate Wood" Divine Skills, their Treasure Pavilion, and their Book Collection Pavilion directly from their mountain gate.

If these three Spiritual Objects had been seized by a superpower or a major organization, few Cultivators would have dared to covet them.

The issue was that these treasures were currently held by Great Cultivator Luo Pei, who was merely an Independent Cultivator.

While Great Cultivators are undeniably formidable, and making an enemy of such a reckless individual is generally considered foolish, there is always a tipping point.

The value of the "Innate Wood" Divine Skills, the Treasure Pavilion, and the Book Collection Pavilion was high enough to tempt any power into taking action, provided the reward outweighed the risk of opposing him.

This did not imply that these organizations would recklessly provoke Great Cultivator Luo Pei. Instead, they would wait for a guaranteed opportunity to capture him in a single, decisive blow.

Through his recent display of power, Great Cultivator Luo Pei had ensured that every major force understood just how terrifying he could be.

Li Shiming received updates regarding Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s status through his incarnation, Li Yuanba. He had no intention of letting Great Cultivator Luo Pei resurface anytime soon.

He went as far as summoning Great Cultivator Luo Pei into the "Heavenly Human Dao" hall located within the Zhai Ge Great Ability Cave Heaven, causing him to vanish from the Cultivation world entirely.

Even if a powerful entity utilized supreme tracking methods to locate the temporary cave on the island, they would find nothing but an empty shell.

Li Shiming entered a state of silence, beginning a period of total seclusion. All five of his Nascent Souls returned to his body as he focused on enhancing the "Traceless Illusion Sword."

Meanwhile, at the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, a new assignment was issued after several months passed without any sign of Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

When Li Yuanba reviewed the details of the task, he couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

The latest mission from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion was to resume the offensive against the White Emperor Sect.

The White Emperor Sect had already retreated to West Yan. Until they resolved the looming threat of Great Cultivator Luo Pei, it was highly unlikely they would risk sending any Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators back to the Central State Continent.

Recognizing this opening, the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion ordered its members to the West Yan Continent to hunt down White Emperor Sect Cultivators.

Although the conflict remained at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage level, the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion dispatched numerous Sword Cultivators aboard several long-distance flying boats toward West Yan.

These Sword Cultivators were tasked with establishing multiple outposts on the Beiyan Continent. These bases would serve as hubs for accepting missions and as strategic points to suppress the Great Cultivators of the White Emperor Sect.

The strategy currently employed by the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion was a mirror image of the White Emperor Sect’s previous tactics.

In the past, the White Emperor Sect could stand against the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion because their "Invisible Primordial Magnetism" Divine Skills allowed them to counter Sword Cultivators.

However, Li Yuanba had slain several practitioners of those magnetism skills, and Great Cultivator Luo Pei had wiped out over a hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators. These heavy casualties left the White Emperor Sect far weaker than the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage level.

The Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had previously been wary of the unpredictable Great Cultivator Luo Pei, fearing their members might be caught in his path of vengeance.

Now that Great Cultivator Luo Pei had gone into hiding, the Pavilion had no intention of letting the White Emperor Sect recover. Pressing the advantage was the standard way of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Indeed, the Pavilion’s battle lines were now drawn right at the gates of the White Emperor Sect on the West Yan Continent.

Li Yuanba accepted the assignment and headed to the designated staging area.

Upon arrival, he saw over four hundred Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators gathered, including more than fifty who were at the Mid-Stage.

He realized that this group did not even represent half of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s total military strength.

Even while launching a campaign on the West Yan Continent, the Pavilion maintained enough Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators at home to keep the other forces of the Central State Continent in check.

"Senior Wu!" Li Yuanba called out in surprise as he spotted a familiar face.
