Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1130: Chapter 611: Investigation (Part 2)

”Alright, but please keep what you’ve seen confidential!” Master Ba Run consulted with the great cultivators of his sect and finally said helplessly.

With the testimony of the three major sects, there was no need to worry about Master Yan Gao and Master Wang He taking the opportunity of entering the sect to massacre the Sun Concealing Sect.

Master Ba Run led Master Yan Gao and Master Wang He into the mountain gate of the Sun Concealing Sect and soon brought them out again.

Master Yan Gao and Master Wang He did not look pleased. They both used their secret techniques to respectively sense the aura of the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ inheritance and the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’.

Based on their guesses, these two treasures would only be shielded within a Grotto Heaven.

The Grotto Heavens of the Sun Concealing Sect had been thoroughly investigated by them, and they did not sense any aura.

This was the point where their clues were cut off, which was their most promising lead to finding out the truth.

”Sun Concealing Sect needs to cooperate with our investigation. The ’Thunder Protection Jade Token’ appeared outside the Sun Concealing Sect’s mountain gate, and that’s still within the Sun Concealing Sect’s sphere of influence!” Master Yan Gao finally said.

Even though the great cultivators of the Sun Concealing Sect felt humiliated, being searched in their own home, they still had to assist the other party.

But the other party’s strength was simply too great; as long as there was no threat to the sect’s safety, the great cultivators of the Sun Concealing Sect were prepared to cooperate.

Additionally, although the three major sects didn’t take action, the Sun Concealing Sect had to remember this favor.

A conflict that almost developed into a major event on the Dongqi Continent ended in this manner.

However, the influence of this matter did not end. The Sun Concealing Sect dropped to the last among the four major local sects because of this incident, losing opportunities in the fight for many resources.

The Sun Concealing Sect required a long time to quietly lick its wounds. They couldn’t even take revenge, as neither the Yuqing Sect nor the White Emperor Sect were sects they could contend with alone.

Instead, they intensified their efforts, using the full strength of the sect to investigate the matter of the ’Thunder Protection Jade Token’.

They couldn’t provoke the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect, but they could certainly deal with the cultivator who placed the ’Thunder Protection Jade Token’ outside the Sun Concealing Sect’s mountain gate.

Unfortunately, this was the doing of the Illusion Spirit Dragon. Due to its talent ability, since there was no battle, the Illusion Spirit Dragon didn’t leave any aura at the scene and was invisible the entire time.

Li Shiming quietly stayed in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, inwardly lamenting that it would have been a delight if the mountain gate of the Sun Concealing Sect had been breached.

He learned from Yue Shan that the ’Thunder Protection Jade Token’ ended up in Mu Jing’s possession, and he couldn’t help but shake his head at Mu Jing’s misfortune.

He never intended to harm Mu Jing, as any Sun Concealing Sect cultivator discovering the ’Thunder Protection Jade Token’ and bringing it into the Sun Concealing Sect would have achieved his purpose.

Unexpectedly, the one who got the ’Thunder Protection Jade Token’ was his enemy Mu Jing. Since Mu Jing had always been hidden inside the Sun Concealing Sect, even if he wanted to find Mu Jing, he had no way. This opportunity served as a chance to exact his revenge.

The latest news about Mu Jing was that he had become a living dead, but the Sun Concealing Sect did not spare him and detained him; how they tortured him was unknown.

Just considering the means of the Demon Sect, for a cultivator who harbored deep resentment, they would likely stop at nothing.

Master Yan Gao and Master Wang He conducted their investigation on the Dongqi Continent with an increasingly high profile, and even Lianhua Temple among the four major sects wasn’t spared and was asked to participate in the investigation.

The prestige of the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect caused even some cross-continent forces in the Dongqi Continent to join the investigation.

Unfortunately, no matter how thorough the investigation was, the truth about the ’Thunder Protection Jade Token’ appearing outside the Sun Concealing Sect’s mountain gate was never uncovered.

It should be noted that with so many forces mobilized, especially the full investigation effort by the Sun Concealing Sect, every practitioner who appeared outside the Sun Concealing Sect that day was tracked down.

These practitioners were interrogated, and although Soul Search wasn’t used, they underwent secret technique questioning and were only released once proven unrelated to the ’Thunder Protection Jade Token’.

After a year of investigation, Master Yan Gao and Master Wang He thanked the forces involved in the investigation and quietly left the Dongqi Continent.

They couldn’t spend all their time in the Dongqi Continent. They had done everything possible in the investigation, but such an extended period without progress meant that the more time passed, the less likely their efforts would bear fruit.

They had no choice but to give up. Of course, giving up didn’t mean they would stop investigating the deaths of Wang Yuan, Song Yu, and the other seven Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners of the White Emperor Sect altogether; other cultivators would take over.

They couldn’t keep two great cultivators stationed in the Dongqi Continent, as these two were extremely important even within the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect.

Li Shiming, upon learning that Master Yan Gao and Master Wang He left, especially when Master Wang He left the Dongqi Continent, let out a long sigh of relief.

He spent the entire year in closed cultivation within a cave abode of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, even receiving spiritual medicine and Spirit Pills through the Heavenly Ghost controlling the living dead.

With the ’Purple Thunder Plasma Liquid’, a treasure for Thunder Cultivators nearby, he was eager but never used it, longing for the right moment.

His cultivation speed was extremely slow. At this rate, it might take several decades to reach the Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak.

This is despite his continuous supply of Fourth Grade Cultivation Assistance Spirit Pills, all of which were of High Grade Fourth-Grade quality.

Li Shiming thought his cultivation speed was slow, but it was already unimaginable for other Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners.

Moreover, he hadn’t even looked at the cultivation insights left by Wang Yuan, exercising caution to the utmost.

He couldn’t be blamed for being too cautious, as the problems he faced this time were far beyond anything before.

The more he learned about the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect, the more cautious he became, knowing these superpowers had formidable beings within them.

Actually, what Li Shiming was even more eager for was the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Skill.

The ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Skill was excessively domineering, almost a nemesis for Sword Cultivators, rendering most practitioners’ magical weapons useless.

And the inheritance of the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Skill was in his hands, waiting for the right opportunity to receive it.

After waiting for over a year, upon the departure of the two great cultivators from the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect, he felt the time was right.

He didn’t take the stone ring out of the room’s space; Earth Thunder Nascent Soul flew out from his head, and he sent it into the room’s space.

The Earth Thunder Nascent Soul held the stone ring, and his consciousness entered into the stone ring.

Although it was the consciousness of the Earth Thunder Nascent Soul entering the stone ring, in anticipation of unexpected situations, he mobilized almost all his spare brainpower, ready to respond at any moment.

He chose the Earth Thunder Nascent Soul because the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Skill is an Earth Element Divine Power, matching the attributes of the Earth Thunder Nascent Soul.

As his consciousness entered the stone ring, he immediately sensed countless lines, which changed in a pattern.

These lines were the test for receiving the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Skill; recognizing the pattern of these lines was crucial for moving on to the next test.

Normally, when a cultivator encounters this test, they need to memorize each line first, then track the trajectory of each line and summarize the movement patterns in their mind.

Once all the movement patterns are completely recorded in the mind, the pattern of the lines can be understood.

This test, while seemingly simple, actually tests a cultivator’s spirit. Without an extremely strong spirit and ultimate control over it, it’s impossible to use the spirit to record vast amounts of data and analyze it.

Even with sufficient spirit strength and meeting other conditions, passing this test still requires incredibly long periods.

The fastest practitioner in the White Emperor Sect took thirty years to pass the first test, and the slowest took several hundred years.

But for Li Shiming, this test was a breeze.

His natal treasure, IBMz15, not only recorded and analyzed the movement of the lines, but also derived the formulas for their movement, which is a deeper understanding than simply summarizing the patterns, taking only one hundred and thirty-five hours.
