Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1477: 785: Compass
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Li Yuanba had successfully addressed the spatial rift issue. Master Wang He kept watch over the spatial rift, as the remaining Great Cultivators stayed close by, eliminating the incoming Hell Creatures together with every Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner.
Li Yuanba found himself with a moment of leisure. Since Master Wang He had signed the peace treaty on behalf of the Yuqing Sect with him, he felt no more concern for his personal safety.
Truth be told, even if the Yuqing Sect desired to cause him issues, Master Wang He lacked the spare moments for such actions at present.
Li Yuanba intended to do some scouting. During his journey from the tower to this spot, he realized that the spatial rift wasn't positioned at the heart of the massive Formation.
The other Great Cultivators lacked his expertise in Formations and didn't possess the immense computational capabilities of the IBMz15. In the vast expanse of the Formation surrounding the tower, those Great Cultivators couldn't pinpoint its exact central location.
He aimed to inspect that central spot, which truly served as the vital core of the Hell Cave Heaven, and maybe uncover some hidden insights there.
None of the Great Cultivators or Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners called on him to participate in the fighting.
His efforts in this operation had earned him extra leeway to act independently.
The cultivators saw no need for him to push himself further; his contributions had already been substantial.
Li Yuanba triggered the ‘God Eye’, and free from the spatial rift's disruptions, his energy perception sharpened dramatically.
Thanks to the earlier clash, a horde of Hell Creatures had swarmed toward the spatial rift, leaving fewer threats scattered in other areas now.
Provided he stayed alert, he faced no real dangers.
The nearer he drew to the Hell Cave Heaven's core area, the more distinctly the ‘God Eye’ revealed the Array Spiritual Power lines, confirming the precision of the IBMz15’s computations.
At last, he reached the Hell Cave Heaven's core zone, a place devoid of any structures, featuring just a modest hillock.
“Found it!” Li Yuanba grinned.
Though the hillock appeared unremarkable, he detected how the Array Spiritual Power lines from all directions gathered inside it.
Furthermore, the hillock drew in radiation energy, a fact clear from the flow direction of that radiation energy.
Right as he prepared to scrutinize the hillock, a sudden heaviness weighed down his body.
“Gravity field!” He immediately grasped what had befallen him.
It was rather ironic; he had wielded gravity fields against foes in combat, yet never imagined a Cultivator might turn one back on him someday.
The moment the gravity field materialized, three Great Cultivators burst forth from three sides, hurling three Mountain Peak Treasures straight at him.
A fiercer gravity field radiated from those three Mountain Peak Treasures, layering atop the original to form four gravity fields in total, which pinned Li Yuanba down and almost froze his motions.
Luckily, his Divine Sense remained active. In an instant thought, ‘Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ shot out from his Nascent Soul.
At the same time, an even stronger gravity field surged outward across a thousand-meter radius, pulling the three Great Cultivators into its grasp.
Even the three Great Cultivators' Mountain Peak Treasures suffered the effect, and the abrupt added burden derailed their assault on Li Yuanba.
The three Mountain Peak Treasures crashed to the ground some distance away from Li Yuanba, missing their mark entirely.
With scant control over his form restored at last, Li Yuanba didn't hesitate and unleashed Sword Escape, his figure morphing into a beam of sword light as he sped away into the distance.
He knew exactly who those three Great Cultivators were. Engaging them in battle might let him take down one or two, but being so near the spatial rift, unleashing his full might would force him to reveal his Spiritual Power Pattern.
Instead of endangering his Spiritual Power Pattern's secrecy just to eliminate adversaries, withdrawal made more sense, especially since he could identify the three Great Cultivators and plot vengeance for a future chance.
Those three Great Cultivators hailed from the White Emperor Sect. He had fixated too much on Master Wang He from the Yuqing Sect, overlooking the White Emperor Sect's potential moves.
Against the Yuqing Sect, the White Emperor Sect's three Great Cultivators ranked merely as ordinary fighters, nowhere near the prowess of the peak-level Great Cultivator Master Wang He. They had faded into the background amid Master Wang He’s dazzling display.
Li Yuanba hadn't anticipated the White Emperor Sect's three Great Cultivators ambushing him right then.
This happened during the cultivators' utmost state of ease.
The Formation had sealed the spatial rift, cutting off the Hell Creatures' influx from the Hell Cave Heaven, and the prolonged conflict was drawing to a close with the major operation almost finished.
Even the ever-cautious Li Yuanba had slightly lowered his defenses.
As sword light, Li Yuanba broke free from the three Great Cultivators' surround. With a flick of his hand, ‘Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ dissolved into energy and returned to his body.
“White Emperor Sect, just you wait!” He bellowed in fury, vanishing from view.
The White Emperor Sect's three Great Cultivators shared looks. For this ambush, they had coordinated a flawless setup, or so they believed.
They had observed Li Yuanba’s prior fights and knew for sure: Li Yuanba held offensive might on par with a Great Cultivator, yet his defenses lingered at Nascent Soul Middle Stage standards.
This showed in how Li Yuanba called upon five Mid-stage Golden Corpses for protection amid his battles.
“What should we do?” one Great Cultivator inquired.
“What else can we do? Let’s hurry back and link up with the other cultivators. No matter Li Yuanba’s attack strength, he can’t hold off the combined force of all these cultivators!” another Great Cultivator replied with a helpless shake of his head.
