Chapter 552: Chapter 322: The eting_2

Li Shiming took out a wooden table from his Space Ring and poured so prepared Third Grade Spiritual Tea. Li Yuanba sat across from him, removed his mask, and picked up a cup of the tea.

“eting again, we both have ford Golden Cores, and you, fellow, have four more than I do!” Li Yuanba said after taking a sip of the tea and setting down the cup.

“Only three more,” Li Shiming imdiately corrected.

Li Shiming and Li Yuanba, although being the body and avatar of the sa person, had relatively independent thinking capabilities, which was why such a dialogue could take place between them.

Li Yuanba chuckled as he sensed the information transmitted by his body, Li Shiming.

“Indeed, it’s three!” he nodded in agreent.

His Taiji Dao Body possessed both the Supre Yang Body of humans and the Yin Body of Corpse Refining. The human Supre Yang Body had one Sword Cultivation Golden Core, and the Corpse Refining Yin Body had one Corpse Pill. However, the Sword Cultivation Golden Core and the Corpse Pill would not exist at the sa ti; they would only appear when he switched between the body and avatar.

The two sat opposite each other, earnestly finished their cups of Spiritual Tea.

Li Shiming placed a storage bag on the table, and Li Yuanba also took out a storage bag and placed it on the table soon after.

The two exchanged smiles and picked up the other’s storage bag.

“You should also take this Suru Mustard Seed Array Plate. I face danger less often, and with my current Array Mastery, I can unleash power equal to the Suru Mustard Seed Array Plate even with Third Grade Array Flags!” Li Shiming said, pointing at the ‘Suru Mustard Seed Array Plate’ on the ground.

This was sothing he had long considered. The fourth-grade ‘Suru Mustard Seed Array Plate’ was the strongest defensive asure he had.

If he had not beco an Array Master, perhaps he would have kept the fourth-grade ‘Suru Mustard Seed Array Plate’ with him for protection.

But now he was an Array Master, and with the presence of his Lifebound treasure IBMz15, his strength in the field of Array formations was such that few Cultivators in this world could match him.

“Take care, fellow!” said Li Shiming as white lotuses appeared under his feet, and then his figure vanished from sight.

Li Shiming had practiced the Charming Soul Concealing Secret Technique, which allowed him to use shadows to beco invisible and perform ‘Step by Step Lotus’ within the range of his Divine Thought, even in broad daylight.

In this respect, Li Yuanba, as a Sword Cultivation Golden Core, had a much less versatile Cultivation Technique.

But as for the strength of Li Yuanba’s Lifebound Flying Sword, if Li Shiming had to face him in direct combat, it’s really hard to say who would win and who would lose.

With a wave of his hand, Li Yuanba collected the ‘Suru Mustard Seed Array Plate’ from the ground.

Although the ‘Suru Mustard Seed Array Plate’ had been refined by his body, Li Shiming, due to the intrinsic connection between the body and the avatar, Li Yuanba could directly use it without needing to refine it.

Li Yuanba glanced at the ti; his eting with his body, Li Shiming, had taken just one hour, most of which was spent sitting quietly and sipping tea.

He didn’t stay long within the territories of the Righteous powers, rembering the not insignificant troubles he had with Qianye Temple.

Fortunately, since the ti he realized he was being probed by Qianye Temple’s ‘Fate Communication’, broke its effect with Sword Intent, the temple seed to have understood that tracking him through ‘Fate Communication’ was futile and appeared to have stopped pursuing him.

He sotis felt lucky that there was no Arhat from Qianye Temple stationed at the Righteous Gate of Jieshan Mountain Pass; otherwise, whether he could have secured a safe passage like he did now would be questionable.

He might have to be cautious every day, fearing the various tactics of Qianye Temple and not daring to expose himself outside of the Great Formation.

A sense of warning arose in his heart as he approached the Righteous Gate.

Cultivators usually have so premonition of danger, and the stronger their spirit, the more accurate this premonition becos.

He felt puzzled. With his understanding of Ying Hou, Xin Tong, and Mu Peng, the three Guardian Golden Core Elders, they didn’t seem like the kind who would betray him.

They were the Elders of a large sect at the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm. Although their agreent with Li Shiming was made in private, given their character, it was unlikely that they would tear up the agreent without reason.

Li Yuanba activated the “Sky Concealing Secret Technique,” which allowed him to remain undetected by the Righteous Gate’s Formations. He entered the range of the Righteous Path Formation.

Just then, a communicator within his Space Ring responded.

This communicator was the one he used to contact Ying Hou, and it was not employing the communication formations of the major sects but rather the Beishu Trading Company’s communication formation.

The benefit of this communicator was that as long as one was within the six great sects or the less remote areas of the Beishu Continent, it was possible to make contact with others through this communicator.

His Divine Thought swept over the communicator, and a ssage was received.

“Mr. Li, two Great Arhats from Qianye Temple have arrived. We will open the pathway at the fifth subsidiary formation for you. Return through it as quickly as possible!”

“What you think about cos to pass,” muttered Li Yuanba with a shake of his head.

No sooner had he thought of Qianye Temple than two of its Great Arhats had arrived.

Great Arhat, this was a term of respect for those whose strength had reached the late-stage peak of the Arhat Realm, corresponding to the revered title of Great Elder for those at the late-stage peak of the Golden Core Realm.

In any major sect, there were very few cultivators at the peak of the late Golden Core Realm. These were Nascent Soul seeds, the most important foundation of a sect.

Such beings, unless they no longer hoped to advance due to lifespan issues, would deal with so sect affairs; otherwise, they would be focused on cultivating in seclusion.

Just like Li Yuanba’s master, Elder Jian, who was actually a Great Elder, it’s just that Elder Jian’s own na had such great fa that he did not need to use the title of Great Elder to enhance his status.

The Great Arhats of Qianye Temple, their strength was not much inferior to Elder Jian. Given Qianye Temple’s foundation, it was even possible they were hiding a Great Arhat with strength comparable to Elder Jian.

This was entirely possible, as the depth of Qianye Temple’s foundation, especially in terms of cultivation techniques, was among the upper ranks of the six great sects.

Even if Li Yuanba had the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure, he had no confidence in battling a Great Arhat, let alone two Great Arhats.

Qianye Temple took him so seriously that they sent two Great Arhats to deal with him, a cultivator who had just advanced to the Golden Core.

In fact, he had misjudged Qianye Temple’s level of interest in him. If it weren’t for the six great sects’ recent involvent in the matter of Skywalk Trading Company, requiring the presence of strong Nascent Soul Ancestors from each major sect to stand guard, perhaps a Venerable would have co for him at this ti.

Because the Supervisor of the False Infant Sealing Instrunt from the Skywalk Trading Company had gone missing and had not yet been found.

Senluo Sect had spread rumors of a Nascent Soul Ancestor from the Skywalk Trading Company once appearing near the Beishu Continent, which made each major sect have no choice but to call upon the Nascent Soul Ancestors to stand guard.

Every major sect had several Nascent Soul Ancestors. In normal tis, Nascent Soul Ancestors were often in seclusion or acting independently; even though the sect might have Nascent Soul Ancestors, to have one actively take charge might require waiting many days in advance for an Ancestor to erge.

Of course, in case of an ergency, a Nascent Soul Ancestor could also be summoned forthwith, but that would only happen if the sect faced an existential crisis, or else one could expect the Nascent Soul Ancestor’s fury.

So, knowing that there was a potential threat from a False Infant and possibly a Nascent Soul, the major sects naturally called forth the Nascent Soul Ancestors in advance.

The six great sects were also aware that rely relying on the Fourth-grade Sea Beasts in the sea to block a Nascent Soul Ancestor was almost impossible.

If the Fourth-grade Sea Beasts could block a Nascent Soul Ancestor once, it was already quite comndable. It served as an advance warning to the major sects about the situation, which was also the reason for the alliance between the major sects and the Fourth-grade Sea Beasts.

Under the current circumstances, the six great sects could not guarantee whether the Nascent Soul Ancestor had already entered the interior of the Beishu Continent.

If that Nascent Soul Ancestor did not enter the range monitored by the various Formations and employed a concealing secret technique, it was indeed impossible to definitely detect the Ancestor’s whereabouts.

The Fourth-grade Sea Beasts managing to block a Nascent Soul Ancestor once was quite an achievent, equivalent to providing the major sects with a prior alert, which was also the reason for their alliance with the Fourth-grade Sea Beasts.
