Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1763 - 928: Wrath

A day later at the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate, the sky suddenly started to rain, and the rain extinguished some remaining embers on the ground.

Great Power Luo Yuan stood in the void, his gaze vacant, while many cultivators below continued searching through the ruins, hoping to find the buried cultivators and resources.

Great Power Luo Yuan did not enter his own grotto heaven; he needed to station himself here, as he was the backbone for the remaining cultivators of the Yuqing Sect.

The rain couldn’t touch him; his spiritual energy kept the rain at bay.

Suddenly, he became alert, sensing the pollution of radiation.

He looked up at the sky, where the dark clouds seemed like demons, pouring radioactive rain toward the earth.

He was suddenly shocked; if these radioactive rainwaters were to fall on the ground, wouldn’t the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate be forever affected by radioactive contamination?

In a flash, his figure appeared among the dark clouds, and with his hands, he tore the clouds apart like a knife slicing through, splitting them to the sides.

After the clouds parted, no sunlight fell through; above the clouds was thick dust, which was the true source of the radiation pollution.

Just as Great Power Luo Yuan was preparing to clear the dust, he felt the opposing force coming from the rules of heaven and earth.

As an inheritor of great ability, he could not stay away from the Inheritance Cave Heaven for long.

Since the explosion, he hadn’t returned to the grotto heaven, instead stabilizing people’s hearts outside.

Though he had stayed outside for quite some time, as long as he didn’t use his powers, he could remain a bit longer.

But once he used his full power, the Heaven and Earth Rules sensed him, and their opposition became even stronger.

If Great Power Luo Yuan forcibly used his powers further, he would suffer attacks from the Heaven and Earth Rules, which he was unwilling to endure.

Thinking about how the Yuqing Sect relied entirely on him, he had no choice but to let out a long sigh and in a flash returned to the grotto heaven.

With his suppression gone, the clouds regrouped, and the radioactive rain fell to the ground.

Master Ren Mu received an urgent piece of intelligence, the kind used only when a major event happened in the Cultivation World.

As he reviewed the urgent report, he grew increasingly alarmed and incredulous.

The main content of the report was that the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate had turned into ruins.

A cultivator from the Central State Commerce on the West Yan Continent saw with his own eyes the mushroom cloud rising from the Yuqing Sect, the very one that destroyed the sect’s mountain gate.

There were no further details on the destruction of the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate.

Though many intelligence operatives wanted to check the scene, none could get near the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate, as space barriers and the terrifying aura of great powers blocked them.

Intelligence personnel embedded within the Yuqing Sect also lost contact, and not just the Central State Commerce; other super forces received the same news.

It wasn’t surprising that the Yuqing Sect had intelligence personnel from other super forces within it, as all super forces were engaging in intelligence infiltration.

With enough price, through means like bribery, cultivation, coercion, and allure, one could always plant a spy within a super force.

As Master Ren Mu looked at the intelligence, a possibility occurred to him. Perhaps not just a possibility, he felt ninety percent sure that the destruction of the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate was Li Shiming’s doing.

Li Shiming had just received intelligence about the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate from him, and shortly thereafter, the gate was destroyed.

Though it was hard for Master Ren Mu to believe, since the event happened, Li Shiming was the only person he knew who had the capability and means to achieve such a feat.

Despite many cultivators holding grudges against the Yuqing Sect, only Li Shiming was likely to oppose a super force and seek revenge.

Master Ren Mu let out a long breath; when preparing the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate intelligence for Li Shiming, he used a small trick. The intelligence wasn’t obtained from the Central State Commerce’s intelligence department, but organized by himself while reviewing the data.

He didn’t worry about any cultivators noticing him; since suspicion wouldn’t fall on him, Li Shiming’s suspicion would appear smaller.

The Ten Thousand Beast Sect where Li Shiming belonged didn’t have such powerful intelligence capabilities to have information on the Yuqing Sect.

Even if the Yuqing Sect wanted to investigate, it would start from this point.

Just as Master Ren Mu felt uneasy, subsequent intelligence eased his mind: two days after the explosion, Li Shiming appeared at the Sun Concealing Sect on the Dongqi Continent.

Although Master Ren Mu still believed that the Yuqing Sect’s destruction was Li Shiming’s doing, he didn’t know what method Li Shiming used to travel from the West Yan Continent to the Dongqi Continent in just two days.

Unlike other cultivators, he knew Li Shiming well and knew he was a person who avoided unnecessary trouble. How could he possibly have appeared openly at the Sun Concealing Sect and met with several great cultivators?

He laughed; Li Shiming’s overt actions seemed unnecessary.

The incident at the Yuqing Sect shocked the entire Cultivation World.

Especially among various super forces, they became anxious and wary.

The Yuqing Sect’s defensive capabilities weren’t inferior to other super forces. If the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate couldn’t withstand the explosion, it meant other super forces’ gates couldn’t withstand the explosion’s destructive power either.
