Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1120: Chapter 606: Investigation_2

Li Shiming returned to the sect, but he didn’t touch any of the harvest in the spatial room, not even the ’Purple Thunder Plasma Liquid’ which was most beneficial to him, nor did he accept the inheritance of the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ spell.

Everything must be handled with caution, he planned to wait a while and observe the changes in situation before making a move.

More than three months later, a Fourth Grade Top Small Flying Boat appeared above the battlefield, and the boat went from supersonic speed to complete stillness, without any physical inertia.

Wang He flew out of the Fourth Grade Top Small Flying Boat and waved his hand to put the boat away.

For more than three months, he traveled from the West Yan Continent to the Dongqi Continent relying on the extreme speed of his Fourth Grade Top Small Flying Boat.

Traveling between the West Yan Continent and the Dongqi Continent requires passing through the Central State Continent, and under normal circumstances, a long-distance flying boat requires almost nine months to voyage from the Central State Continent to the Dongqi Continent.

The distance between the West Yan Continent and the Dongqi Continent is double that of the Central State Continent to the Dongqi Continent, yet Wang He took only slightly over three months to arrive.

Three months of full-speed navigation did not leave even a trace of fatigue on Wang He, who is in the Great Cultivator Realm.

His figure flickered and appeared on the battlefield. After three months, the battlefield had been repeatedly destroyed, with very few places on the ground retaining intact soil.

His Divine Sense spread out like a spider web, capturing every detail of the battlefield.

He first noticed the peculiarity in the soil; though more than three months had passed since a Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner of the White Emperor Sect cast a spell on the ground, there were still traces left from the enhancement.

”Turning mud into stone, that’s an Earth Element cultivator’s trick!” Wang He murmured to himself.

He almost instantly deduced the most likely attackers; the force that could be hostile to the Yuqing Sect and was known for its earth-based skills was none other than the White Emperor Sect.

Of course, he wouldn’t point fingers at the White Emperor Sect based on just these few clues.

Though in recent times he had been rushing to the Dongqi Continent, Yuqing Sect’s investigations had not ceased, mobilizing all available intelligence resources.

He has special methods of communication, allowing him to contact Yuqing Sect at regular intervals and receive investigation reports from them.

Although the deeds of the White Emperor Sect were secretive, traces would inevitably be left behind.

Through investigations, Yuqing Sect’s intelligence department discovered clues left by the White Emperor Sect around Wang Yuan, and with deliberate scrutiny, White Emperor Sect was listed as the primary suspect.

”Invisible Primordial Magnetism!” When Wang He discovered the dust forming eerie patterns under a rock on the ground, he clenched his teeth and said.

Once the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ spell was activated, it created a force field, affecting the dust that fell.

Ordinarily, such traces wouldn’t be preserved, but at the time, a rock fell on this spot during the battle, allowing the pattern formed by the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ force field to be preserved.

Using ordinary methods, the pattern under the rock couldn’t be detected, but under the Divine Sense of a Great Cultivator, no trace could escape.

With the appearance of the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ spell on the battlefield, the assault on Wang Yuan, and the theft of the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’, it was undoubtedly the work of the White Emperor Sect.

His Divine Sense continuously enveloped the area, meticulously analyzing every clue.

Although knowing it was the doing of the White Emperor Sect, many puzzling aspects left him perplexed.

According to the intelligence from Yuqing Sect, during the incident, no Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners from the White Emperor Sect had come to the Dongqi Continent, yet the battlefield showed signs of Wang Yuan using the ’Thunder Cloud Skill’ in his attacks.

In Wang He’s judgment, if Wang Yuan’s strength, supplemented by the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’, was involved, it would be impossible for a mere Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner to withstand Wang Yuan.

”It seems I must track the cultivators who were here!” Wang He thought to himself.

He took out a tracking treasure, collecting the detectable auras from the location.

In the days following, multiple forces in the area were invaded, and many Nascent Soul cultivators were forcibly taken away.

One day, Wang He gazed at the tracking treasure which still showed an aura, his brow furrowed even further.

During these days of investigation, none of the practitioners who had visited the battlefield revealed any findings; each suspected others had benefited, yet in truth, none of those he interrogated had found any Spiritual Objects.

Only one Nascent Soul cultivator remained, if there were no clues from this one, he would have to target the cultivators of the White Emperor Sect.

He was aware that his recent actions had been somewhat noticeable, and would soon be discovered by the major forces of the Dongqi Continent.

As a Great Cultivator coming to the Dongqi Continent, he would undoubtedly be watched by the native forces, making further operations challenging.

After a period of flight, he arrived at a mountain peak, the residence of the last Nascent Soul cultivator.

Though a long time had passed, using Yuqing Sect’s tracking treasure, the remaining aura from over three months ago could still accurately locate this practitioner.

Of course, the prerequisite was that this practitioner hadn’t traveled too far; beyond a certain range, tracking wouldn’t be possible.

Those eager to scavenge from the battlefield would naturally be nearby cultivators.

Wang He was about to act to break the large formation when his expression changed, his aura suddenly erupted.

The terrifying aura of a Great Cultivator enveloped the peak, and an equally intimidating aura rose from within the mountain, the interaction causing the void to emit crackling sounds.

”Yan Gao, so indeed it was the White Emperor Sect who assaulted Wang Yuan!” Murderous intent manifested in Wang He’s eyes as he recognized the owner of the aura.

”Wang He, if it was truly our White Emperor Sect who attacked Wang Yuan, you think I’d willingly show up here?” Yan Gao’s voice emanated from the mountain peak, his tone laden with helplessness.

Yan Gao was inside a cavern residence, beside the fallen Nascent Soul cultivator who was the owner of this place, and among those scavenging the battlefield.

The Nascent Soul cultivator’s body was bizarrely stiff, with stoney markings beneath the skin.

This was the result of torture by an Earth Element cultivator, indicating that the Nascent Soul cultivator’s end was far from pleasant.

Yan Gao was quite frustrated; originally, the plan was devised by the White Emperor Sect’s crafty members, investing vast human and material resources, but problems arose at the final stage.

The White Emperor Sect dispatched eight Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners, yet all contact was lost.

The sect first suspected that among the eight, there was a Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner who turned rogue and fled with the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’.

This was speculation, yet highly plausible.

The value of the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ was such that even a Great Cultivator would be tempted.

The ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’, though targeted at Thunder cultivators, if traded with a suitable force, the profit would vastly surpass the resources needed for an Nascent Soul cultivator to progress to the Great Cultivator Realm.

Furthermore, upon discovering anomalies, the White Emperor Sect promptly deployed Yan Gao; not only were eight Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners lost, but a ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ spell inheritance item was among them.

Though the odds of obtaining spell inheritance from an ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ item were slim, even within the White Emperor Sect, only once every few centuries a cultivator might accept the inheritance.

Yet the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ spell inheritance item was one of the sect’s most crucial foundations and must not remain outside, it must be retrieved at all costs.

The ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ spell is almost emblematic of the White Emperor Sect, widely acknowledged in the Cultivation World; if external sect cultivators were to use this spell, it would disgrace the White Emperor Sect immensely.
