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 proposed by the superpower squad from the other continent, since over those fifteen days, their group endured devastating casualties—almost 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 squad had merely sacrificed three cultivators, suffering no further harm.

In a mission of this magnitude, clashing every day against fourth-grade Hell creatures in the mid-to-late stages, yet incurring only such light damages across fifteen days, naturally sparked the other continent’s team to seek answers.

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

To the cultivators of the other continent’s teams, the Central State Continent’s squad appeared bursting with vigor, every member radiating lively spirit and fierce eagerness for combat.

On the flip side, Central State Continent’s cultivators viewed the other continent’s team as utterly drained, with every fighter worn out in body and soul.

Right at the heart of their formation stood a cluster of the gravely hurt, more than thirty cultivators in dire straits, four Great Cultivators included.

"Is the situation this dire?" Great Cultivator Lou eyed the wretched state of the other continent’s team and murmured softly, unable to hold back.

Even though the Great Cultivators from the other continent’s teams received prior cautions, certain issues couldn’t simply be averted through mere alerts.

During endless fights, unexpected mishaps are bound to happen.

The Central State Continent’s team, equipped with the ’Space Acceptance Array’ for swift retreats to Hell Island, still forfeited three cultivators to a sudden accident—imagine then the even more vulnerable other continent’s team cultivators.

Those from the other continent lacked the five mid-stage Golden Corpses, boasting tremendous defenses and utter disregard for death to shield the front lines, and they also missed Li Yuanba’s ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills for on-the-spot aid.

Even relying on healing Spirit Pills, the best they could do was steady a cultivator’s wounds; true recovery demanded pulling back to secure ground for extended recuperation.

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

With the teams now interacting, Li Yuanba’s restorative techniques couldn’t stay concealed.

Before the Great Cultivators of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had a chance to respond, that Great Cultivator’s eyes locked onto Li Yuanba.

He knew who Li Yuanba was; Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect had pursued him relentlessly for ages, making Li Yuanba’s presence well-known to anyone familiar with the bounty posters.

"Please move the wounded cultivators from Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect aside; the rest will receive treatment!" Great Cultivator Lou declared firmly.

Even in Hell Cave Heaven, where all cultivators stood as comrades and old feuds shouldn’t interfere, this kind of targeted treatment didn’t qualify under those guidelines.

Cultivators always settled scores decisively and would never permit Li Yuanba to mend the wounds of Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect’s injured when deep-seated hostilities lingered.

To shield Li Yuanba from potential harm, Great Cultivator Lou issued this demand.

The moment Great Cultivator Lou spoke, one among the four hurt Great Cultivators wore an especially dark scowl; the crackling thunder aura around him revealed him as a Yuqing Sect Great Cultivator.

The superpowers avoided blatantly isolating the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect’s injured, as it would draw too much notice.

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

They shifted everyone but the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect’s wounded toward Li Yuanba, abandoning those two groups behind.

Truth be told, Li Yuanba had already checked out the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect cultivators, noting that none of the Great Cultivators joining from either sect this round were faces he knew.

It made sense, given how perilous operations like purging Hell Cave Heaven truly were—they typically held back their mightiest Great Cultivators, favoring instead those skilled in countering Hell creatures, focusing on solid mid-to-high battle prowess.

Sending the frailest Great Cultivators risked needless deaths, while holding back the elite preserved their role in a superpower’s territorial might.

Should a top Great Cultivator perish—or even just endure grave injury—the blow to the superpower’s standing would be immense.

Every superpower meticulously picked two Great Cultivators, ensuring they complemented each other, effectively curbed Hell creatures, and minimized fallout for their own faction.

Without Great Cultivator Lou stepping in for Li Yuanba, he’d have no qualms about treating the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect’s wounded, since none bore personal vendettas against him.

Naturally, should real clashes erupt, he’d strike down the cultivators from those two sects without a second thought.

Li Yuanba began by applying a single ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skill to each of the three injured Great Cultivators. Though just one use per person, their conditions noticeably brightened right away.

Moreover, the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skill’s power started to unfold steadily, mending the three Great Cultivators’ wounds bit by bit as time passed.
