Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1583: Chapter 838: Relocation

The grand mountain gate of the Shushan Sect floated in the air, moving next to the Thousand Illusion Sect. Without the need for any other cultivator’s guidance, five late-stage Golden Corpses autonomously directed the Shushan Sect’s mountain gate to the ground.

During the descent, the five late-stage Golden Corpses simultaneously extended a hand downward.

The ground below was pressed into a unique depression by the terrifying force, which coincidentally matched the base of the giant pentagonal land of the Shushan Sect’s mountain gate.

The five late-stage Golden Corpses carefully placed the enormous pentagonal land of the Shushan Sect’s mountain gate, as if it had always belonged there.

Even having witnessed the terrifying mountain-moving power of the late-stage Golden Corpses, seeing their precise control over such force gave all surrounding cultivators a clearer understanding of the power of Great Cultivators.

”The arrangements for the Shushan Sect’s side are complete, I need to attend to other sects now!” Patriarch Ge said farewell to Fan Ancestor and Elder Zuo.

She was very busy. Although she didn’t need to move residences personally, she was responsible for communication and command.

She understood that although she was said to be in charge, the true decisions came from the five seniors.

Where the Shushan Sect’s mountain gate was placed, she had still been considering where it would be most reasonable during the journey, ensuring no complaints from other merged sects.

But before her decision, the five seniors had already chosen a spot and placed the Shushan Sect’s mountain gate there. She couldn’t believe it wasn’t Li Shiming’s idea.

Li Shiming emerged from the Great Power Palace where Yin Shilan was in seclusion. Seizing the end of Yin Shilan’s cultivation session, he had delivered third-grade Spirit Pills and Spiritual Tea, and performed the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill for her.

Though only a few days had passed in seclusion, Yin Shilan’s body had made significant recovery under his meticulous adjustments.

He blinked and appeared above the Shushan Sect’s mountain gate, gazing at the mountain gate below, feeling deeply moved.

Previously, he had viewed through the minds affixed to the five late-stage Golden Corpses; seeing it firsthand was a completely different experience.

He was thoroughly familiar with every part of the Shushan Sect and had also located his original mountain peak.

Due to the Shushan Sect’s mountain gate relocation, the original formation had long been shut down, allowing him to directly scan the mountain peak with his divine sense.

He found his original cave dwelling closed, everything inside preserved as it was, except for a thick layer of dust.

The spirit field on the mountain was still being tended to, originally managed by three attendants during his time.

A century had passed, and without his protection, he wondered about the fate of his three attendants.

”Senior Li, I will soon retreat into seclusion as agreed. I will no longer oversee Shushan Sect’s matters; everything about Shushan Sect will be the Sect Master’s responsibility!” Fan Ancestor and Elder Zuo flew before Li Shiming, bowing.

Li Shiming looked up and saw Elder Su following the two Nascent Soul cultivators.

”Master, it’s been a century, why have you aged so much?” Li Shiming ignored the two Nascent Soul Ancestors and went to Elder Su’s side, astonished.

When he left then, Elder Su had just recently advanced to late-stage Golden Core, still full of vigor, but now seemed utterly exhausted and aged.

Upon hearing Li Shiming refer to Elder Su as Master, Fan Ancestor and Elder Zuo exchanged glances, a flash of excitement in the eyes of the Nascent Soul Ancestors.

The life-and-death seclusion was of no concern; their life span was limited. Resolving the resentment between them and Li Shiming through it was a highly favorable matter.

Their only worry was the Shushan Sect. With the unification of seven sects, Shushan Sect became a branch. Without some background support, the inheritance of Shushan Sect might be cut off.

But with Li Shiming acknowledging Elder Su as his master, with Elder Su now being the Sect Master of Shushan Sect, it was impossible for Shushan Sect to be mistreated.

”Shiming, back then, I wronged you, the sect wronged you!” Elder Su, overwhelmed by Li Shiming’s genuine concern, grasped Li Shiming’s hand with teary eyes, repeatedly apologizing.

”Master, let past matters cease to exist, let bygones be bygones; you won’t blame me for the sect unification, letting your Sect Master become the master of a branch, will you?” Li Shiming, not wanting to distress Master Elder Su further, cheerfully waved it off.

”You have your thoughts, but the inheritance of Shushan Sect...I hope you can preserve it!” Elder Su, though with much to say, could only manage that one sentence.

”Master, don’t worry about this; after the unification of the seven sects, all inheritances will be preserved, and the future of the Beishu Continent will only grow stronger!” Li Shiming said, smiling.

Elder Su laughed; he believed his disciple wouldn’t deceive him.

”Shiming, on behalf of the Shushan Sect, I hand over the Mountain Gate Formation, the sect inheritance, and the treasury to you!” Elder Su handed a jade token to Li Shiming.

This jade token was the Shushan Sect Master Token, which could control all crucial aspects of the Shushan Sect.

Handing over this Sect Master Token was equivalent to entrusting the Shushan Sect’s mountain gate to Li Shiming.

”Master, the Great Formation after the unification of the seven sects needs modification; I already have ideas. As for the sect inheritance and treasury, you will still oversee them. If I have any requests, I’ll reach out to you!” Li Shiming stated as he accepted the Sect Master Token.

He genuinely had little interest in what Shushan Sect possessed.

Having just examined his master’s body, his master’s life span was at most fifty years, and with his master’s current condition, there was no hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage.
