Cultivation is just so scientific! - Chapter 771 - 432 Discovery

Chapter 771: Chapter 432 Discovery

“Has it been verified?” Elder Jin Kai and Ancestor Ren Xun stared at Elder You Xia in front of them, asking somewhat excitedly.

On the barren land of the Beishu Continent, ten years had already passed, and the two Nascent Soul Ancestors were not living comfortably, being watched daily by eight Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners, only able to stay on Yongle Island.

They had given a timeframe of twenty years, if, within twenty years, extensive manpower and resources were invested, but the Grotto Heaven left by Great Power Zhai Ge was not found, then they would leave the Beishu Continent.

The matter of Great Power Zhai Ge’s Grotto Heaven was merely speculative. Spending twenty years was bearable, any longer would have been too costly a loss.

Who knew that just ten years in, there was already news. The two Nascent Soul Ancestors suppressed the turmoil in their hearts; over the years, there had been many times good news turned out disappointing in the end.

Elder You Xia was also flushed with excitement. The Beishu Continent was incredibly peculiar. The Sword Cultivation Great Elder and the Body Refining Great Elder had both perished on the Beishu Continent, and Skywalk Trading Company had assigned him the task of managing operations.

Even on other continents, the Sword Cultivation Great Elder and the Body Refining Great Elder were the strongest existences in the Golden Core Stage without the intervention of a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Even though Skywalk Trading Company was entrenched and significant, it had to protect Elder You Xia after consecutively losing two top Great Elders.

His main job now was managing the intelligence gathering efforts in search of the Grotto Heaven.

“Someone has already been sent to verify it; the spatial fluctuations there are extremely powerful, far beyond any mere ruins!” Elder You Xia confidently answered.

This time, even if he gained nothing from the Grotto Heaven, he could still receive more resources to advance to the Nascent Soul stage from Skywalk Trading Company, thereby increasing his chances of advancement.

Upon receiving this intelligence, he dispatched his most reliable subordinates.

He initially planned to go himself, but previously, Great Elder Sun Ao had perished during an exploration, and Skywalk Trading Company suspected that some powerful being had targeted them, specifically aiming at their Great Elders.

Elder Jin Kai nodded; his gaze landed straight ahead, where, less than a thousand miles away, was the base of the eight Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners.

Although not using any scouting spells, he could still sense the presence of the eight Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners.

“We are preparing to go!” Elder Jin Kai turned his head and ordered Ancestor Ren Xun.

“Following Elder Jin’s command!” Ancestor Ren Xun bowed his head in response.

Elder Jin Kai and Ancestor Ren Xun each took out a wooden puppet, casting a spell toward the puppets before them, imbuing a faint aura into the wooden beings.

At the same time, the two Nascent Soul Ancestors activated a Secret Technique, concealing their own aura.

The two wooden puppets beared an aura identical to that of the two Nascent Soul Ancestors; of course, if one were close enough, it was still possible to distinguish them, but at nearly a thousand miles away, without using a Secret Technique for detection, it was impossible to discern a difference.

Neither Beishu Continent nor Skywalk Trading Company would use a Secret Technique to investigate each other without preparing for a massive Nascent Soul Stage battle—this had been an unspoken agreement over the past ten years.

“You Xia, you should come along as well!” Elder Jin Kai glanced at Elder You Xia again and said after some thought.

“Yes, Ancestor!” Elder You Xia’s eyes flashed with ecstasy as he bowed in response.

Letting one Nascent Soul Middle Stage and one Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner stay in Beishu Continent for ten years involved a huge expenditure of second and third grade resources to bribe local cultivators.

Not to mention, Skywalk Trading Company had also lost a Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner skilled in offensive Divine Skills and a False Infant Cultivator in this region previously.

All these efforts were merely for the Grotto Heaven left by Great Power Zhai Ge, indicating the importance of this Grotto Heaven and illustrating the substantial price Skywalk Trading Company was willing to pay.

Elder You Xia understood that Elder Jin Kai was willing to bring him along because of his diligent work performance over the years.

Elder Jin Kai took out a small shuttle-shaped Flying Boat, which hovered in front of him and quickly enlarged until it was big enough to accommodate three people before stopping.

He stepped in first, followed by Ancestor Ren Xun, with Elder You Xia trailing behind them.

The surface of the shuttle-shaped Flying Boat shimmered with light; after flying out of Yongle Island, it plunged into the sea.

Throughout this process, the energy fluctuations shown by the Flying Boat were extremely weak, even weaker than the aura emitted by a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator.

Once the Flying Boat entered the sea, it immediately merged with the water, becoming indistinguishable as if a drop of water had fallen into the ocean, masking the existence of the Flying Boat completely.

Li Yuanba woke from his cultivation, situated at Elder Sword’s mountain. After stepping out of his temporary cave abode, he sensed something amiss.

Even though he could detect Elder Sword’s presence in the main cave above the mountain,

He sensed something different. Since Elder Sword had not been a Nascent Soul for long, his aura was not very stable. Unless Elder Sword had made substantial progress recently, his aura should not have felt as stable as it did today, almost to the point of being stagnant.

Only because he was inside the grand array on the mountain and was particularly familiar with Elder Sword’s aura could he notice this subtle anomaly.

“Has the master gone out?” he speculated internally.

He immediately contacted his original self, Li Shiming, who had a brain constantly monitoring the situation near Yongle Battlefield through the satellite drone system.
