Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1426: Chapter 759: Hell_2

Master Wu Ge is the Great Cultivator staying on Hell Island for Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. In recent years, because the space of Hell Cave Heaven is unstable, every superpower on the Central State Continent has a Great Cultivator stationed here.

“Li Yuanba pays respect to Master Wu!” Li Yuanba bowed and saluted.

Great Venerable Hongfa followed him, without speaking, indicating that Great Venerable Hongfa was subordinate to him.

Master Wu Ge was slightly surprised, although he had heard of Li Yuanba taking Great Venerable Hongfa as his servant, seeing it in person was still surprising.

It was clear that Great Venerable Hongfa did not have a sense of being chained, instead, there was a genuine followship.

“Great Venerable Hongfa, once inside the island, you’d better not make a noise. If there’s anything, use sound transmission. You don’t need to pay attention to others!” Master Wu Ge advised at last.

He led Li Yuanba and Great Venerable Hongfa down to Hell Island, and after passing through a formation shield, the scene changed dramatically.

From the outside, Hell Island seemed just a medium-sized island, but upon reaching it, one saw that beside Hell Island, there connected a land with no end in sight.

At present, in the area where the land connects with Hell Island, several Great Cultivators and a large number of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners were fighting.

The cultivators here were protected by formations, so they didn’t have to fight Hell creatures head-on, they just needed to unleash their strongest attacks under protection.

It was Li Yuanba’s first time seeing the Hell creatures he had heard so much about. These creatures varied in form; some had bull heads, some sheep heads, some horse heads, and some deer heads. Their heads were diverse, but there was one commonality: they had human-like bodies with hoof-shaped feet.

“Don’t look at how they can hold on now; we are using reserve formation energy. Once its consumption becomes too great, even the great formation guarding Hell Cave Heaven will be affected!” Master Wu Ge pointed to the battle site and said.

The formation was able to resist the attacks of Four-grade Mid-stage Hell Life; when Li Yuanba first saw it, he examined it with ‘Divine Eye’.

He found the formation connected the entirety of Hell Island and the outer great formation, now hearing Master Wu Ge’s explanation, understood the danger within.

The Array Master who set the great formation on Hell Island must have been a genius, using the great formation to encircle Hell Cave Heaven and extracting energy from it to sustain the formation’s operation.

At the same time, the formation guided all Hell creatures unexpectedly passing through Hell Cave Heaven to the area connecting with Hell Island, greatly facilitating the defense by cultivators.

As long as the great formation on Hell Island remains, guarding the sole area connecting with Hell Cave Heaven will prevent Hell creatures from escaping from Hell Cave Heaven.

However, now it’s the energy of Hell Island’s great formation being consumed, and if too much is consumed, unable to maintain the operation of the formation, Hell Cave Heaven without restraint will scatter Hell creatures into nearby waters.

If Hell creatures were truly to enter the ocean, it would be difficult to find and slay them, nor would there be enough cultivators to achieve this.

“Enough about these things, follow me!” Master Wu Ge remembered Li Yuanba’s early arrival this time, patting his head, said.

Hell Island was divided into two parts, one that seemed to be where ordinary cultivators lived, extremely simple, with mostly caves dug casually by the cultivators.

This area faced the connection channel between Hell Cave Heaven and Hell Island, and cultivators living here must fight Hell creatures to survive.

The area behind had a different condition, separated from the front area by formation barriers.

The rear area was well-planned, arranged with ponds, bridges, pavilions, gardens, and trees.

Upon entering the rear area, Li Yuanba immediately felt its spiritual energy was particularly abundant.

If not for the lingering radiation, this cultivation environment wouldn’t be worse than any superpower’s mountain gate.

However, standing in this environment, he discovered everything was polluted by radiation.

“This is my grotto; the formation is placed here!” Master Wu Ge led them to a grotto, pointed to the open space at the grotto entrance.

The open space in front of the grotto was protected by the grotto’s formation, and to Li Yuanba’s observation, this space was temporarily cleared, judging by the ground marks, the soil here was spirit soil.

That’s to say, Master Wu Ge temporarily flattened the spirit field for the location of the formation.

Li Yuanba nodded to Great Venerable Hongfa, and the Great Venerable immediately began setting up the formation.

Great Venerable Hongfa was already very experienced at setting the Space Acceptance Array; he had traveled to various continents in the past two years just for deploying Space Acceptance Arrays.

“Amitabha!” A Buddha’s name echoed, Li Yuanba saw a Great Venerable standing outside the grotto’s formation range, clasping hands in prayer towards them.

“Hongguang, this has nothing to do with you; we are busy here!” Master Wu Ge waved dismissively.

“Hongfa, it’s been a long time, don’t you recognize me?” Hongguang Venerable ignored Master Wu Ge and asked the busy Great Venerable Hongfa.

Great Venerable Hongfa only paused slightly and continued the setting up without looking at Hongguang Venerable, not even exchanging glances.

“Hongguang, are you planning to break the agreement?” Master Wu Ge’s eyes flashed brilliantly, and he asked in a deep voice.

“Master Wu, you’ve overthought it; this is an agreement set by the two masters, how dare I defy it? I was only momentarily reckless upon noticing an old acquaintance!” Hongguang Venerable smiled, hearing Master Wu Ge’s words, not wanting to escalate things.

He took a deep look at Great Venerable Hongfa, especially at the formation he was deploying.

Now the Space Acceptance Array, famous in the Cultivation World, confirmed to be set up by Great Venerable Hongfa.

Though Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion claimed the array was Li Yuanba’s creation, being a Great Venerable from Da Leiyin Temple, he knew well the array Da Leiyin Temple had researched for years.

He couldn’t believe that Li Yuanba at such a young age could surpass the research achievements of many Space Venerables from Da Leiyin Temple.

In his thoughts, it was highly likely Great Venerable Hongfa had made breakthroughs in spatial research, leading to this expansive coverage of the Space Acceptance Array.

He wanted to persuade Great Venerable Hongfa to return, which would bring the new Space Acceptance Array back to Da Leiyin Temple.

Unfortunately, from Great Venerable Hongfa’s reaction, he did not want to engage, not even via eye contact.

This left him unable to probe Great Venerable Hongfa’s true intentions and no means to convince him.

“You are Li Yuanba; I’ve heard of your reputation even here!” Hongguang Venerable turned his gaze onto Li Yuanba, speaking mildly.

His words sounded calm, but the malice within was clearly perceptible to Li Yuanba.

“I see Great Venerable Hongguang!” Li Yuanba wasn’t afraid of this Great Venerable, smiling as he bowed.

The strength of this Hongguang Venerable was rather ordinary, though not knowing his particular strengths, judging by the aura, it posed no threat to Li Yuanba.

Of course, this needed Li Yuanba to exert all his means with no reservation.

Otherwise, Li Yuanba’s only option was using his speed to flee, for this Great Venerable’s strength was not one Great Venerable Hongfa could destabilize merely with ‘Chaos Sword Intent’.

But even thus, Li Yuanba did not give much importance to Hongguang Venerable.

“Nascent Soul Middle Stage’s foremost person; it depends on your performance against the monsters of Hell Cave Heaven, do not disappoint!” Hongguang Venerable retained a false smile and said.
