"Huh!" Old Ancestor Zuo suddenly stopped his actions and looked into the distance.
The other Nascent Soul ancestors, except Ancestor Jian, all looked in the same direction as if they had received some news.
"It seems we are in trouble. Wuwei, you stay and we will go and take a look!" Patriarch Lu turned to Patriarch Jian and said in a deep voice.
At this moment, the six Nascent Soul ancestors from the six major sects and the ancestor Ling Xueling from the Beishu Trading Company all stood up.
Regardless of whether there are any conflicts between them, they are allies when faced with major events.
"Venerable Huike, thank you for your help!" Patriarch Lu nodded to Venerable Huike and said.
The six Nascent Soul ancestors surrounded Venerable Huike and mobilized part of their spiritual power to connect to Venerable Huike.
Venerable Huike activated his supernatural power and took a step forward. This step used the 'A World Away' technique and he was able to cover a distance of five miles in one step, and he was moving with the six Nascent Soul ancestors.
Li Shiming sensed it most clearly. Just now, the auras of the seven Nascent Soul ancestors merged into one and became a whole. This allowed Venerable Huike to use "A World Away Within Reach" to the strongest effect that exceeded what he could produce on his own.
The figures of the seven Nascent Soul ancestors disappeared in front of the cultivators at an extremely fast speed. Even Li Shiming, who possessed the divine eye, could only see a distance of a thousand miles at most. The seven Nascent Soul ancestors exceeded this range of a thousand miles in no time.
Li Shiming didn't know what was going on. He mobilized the drone satellite system and observed the direction in which the seven Nascent Soul ancestors were moving.
Nothing was found in this direction, at least nothing unusual occurred all the way to the coast.
Then the most likely possibility is that some accident occurred at sea, forcing the seven Nascent Soul ancestors to go together to deal with it.
"Master, do you know what happened?" His heart moved slightly, and through the relationship between his clone Li Yuanba and Patriarch Jian, he asked Li Yuanba to transmit the message to Patriarch Jian.
Patriarch Zuo did not say anything when he left, which shows how urgent the matter was. Or even if Patriarch Zuo told Li Shiming what happened, it would be of no help and might even cause some trouble.
But no matter what happened, Li Shiming wanted to know the reason. This feeling of being out of control made him feel very uncomfortable.
"I have just become a Nascent Soul cultivator, and have not yet truly integrated into the Nascent Soul system of the Northern Shu Continent. They did not tell me the reason, but I can sense that a terrifying aura belonging to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is approaching the Northern Shu Continent!" Ancestor Jian did not hide anything from Li Yuanba, and answered Li Yuanba's question using voice transmission.
Li Yuanba was stunned after hearing this. Ever since he came to the Northern Shu Continent and met the Nascent Soul Patriarch, he had never heard that the Nascent Soul Patriarch was divided into the initial, intermediate and late stages.
He also knew that there must be realm divisions in the Nascent Soul stage, but for some reason the Nascent Soul ancestors of the Northern Shu Continent seemed to be in the same realm, without any division, and the status of every Nascent Soul ancestor was equal.
Just like Ancestor Jian, although he had just become a Nascent Soul Ancestor, all the Nascent Soul Ancestors treated him as a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same level after accepting him.
This is different from the Jindan stage. The status of a cultivator who has just been promoted to the Jindan stage is much lower than that of a cultivator in the middle and late Jindan stage.
"Is there no cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in the Northern Shu Continent?" Li Yuanba seized the opportunity to ask.
"Actually, I should have told you now. I will explain it to you in detail after I have settled these monks!" Patriarch Jian said with a smile.
The party was over, the Nascent Soul ancestors left, and the remaining Jindan cultivators were sent away by the Jindan cultivators sent by the Senluo Sect.
For example, the Great Elder Lan Hongxi of the Yin Yang Sect and the Great Elder Mo Bao of the Disha Sect needed to be informed and handed over in advance by the Senluo Sect and the three major righteous sects to avoid accidents when the two men passed through the righteous sect's sphere of influence on their return.
Of course, as long as Patriarch Jian gives the order for these matters, the elders of the sect will take over and handle them.
Li Shiming did not stay in Senluo Sect for long, and left with his senior sister Ye Jingxian and great elder Wei Xi.
If something big happens, it is safer to stay in the mountain gate of Shushan Sect.
Back at Chongxiao Peak, Patriarch Jian looked slightly worried and pointed to the chair opposite him, asking Li Yuanba to sit down.
Li Yuanba poured a cup of spiritual tea for Master Jian and then sat down.
"Yuanba, you are already in the middle stage of the Golden Core. With your talent, your hope of being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage is very great. You also need to consider the future." Patriarch Jian said to Li Yuanba after taking a sip of the spiritual tea.
Li Yuanba sat in his real body. He knew what the Sword Ancestor was going to say next, which was probably very important to him.
“You asked about the middle Nascent Soul stage before. I can tell you clearly that there are currently no middle Nascent Soul cultivators in the Northern Shu Continent. The strongest is only close to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. Even in the history of the Northern Shu Continent, there are only less than a handful of people who have been able to advance to the middle Nascent Soul stage.” Patriarch Jian said slowly.
"Master, I don't understand. Although the skills in the sect are not as good as the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky', it should not be a problem to cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage. Why does this happen?" Li Yuanba asked puzzledly.
"It's very simple, because of the resources. The quality of the fourth-grade resources in the Northern Shu Continent is not enough to support the early Nascent Soul cultivators to advance to the middle stage. Only those who are extremely talented can break through the shackles by relying on limited resources.
A normal cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage has a lifespan of a thousand years, but after deducting the lifespan consumed before that, the actual time left for the cultivator to practice is only five to six hundred years.
I have a very average talent. I am 435 years old this year, and I still have more than 500 years to live after I advance to the Nascent Soul stage. "At this point, Patriarch Jian showed a helpless smile on his face.
Patriarch Jian thought that compared with his predecessors in Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, he took too much time to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
But this does not mean that his talent is poor, but because he is in the Northern Shu Continent, his resources cannot be compared with those of the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
“Nascent Soul, perhaps with your talent, you can advance to Nascent Soul at the age of 200. Then you will have 800 years to practice in the early Nascent Soul stage, allowing you to advance to the middle Nascent Soul stage before your lifespan is exhausted. But this will also consume all your potential, making it impossible for you to make any further progress. The resources of the Northern Shu Continent will no longer allow you to make any further progress!” he continued.
"Master, do you mean that after I am promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, I should also leave the Northern Shu Continent?" Li Yuanba guessed what Ancestor Jian meant.
"This decision should be made by you. If there hadn't been a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator approaching you today, I wouldn't have told you all this. Perhaps if you achieved Nascent Soul in the Northern Shu Continent, you could live a stable life. On the contrary, if you leave the Northern Shu Continent, you will encounter many dangers." Patriarch Jian waved his hand and said.
Patriarch Jian originally planned to tell Li Yuanba all this when he left the Northern Shu Continent, but the arrival of powerful foreign enemies made him feel the urgency of time, and he needed to tell Li Yuanba some important things in advance.
Li Yuanba looked thoughtful. If he wanted to leave the Northern Shu continent, he would not leave alone. If he left, he would leave with his original body, Li Shiming.
To be honest, he and Li Shiming have truly taken root in the Northern Shu Continent. Although they belong to the righteous and evil sects respectively, their status has reached an extremely high level.
There are few people who can bully them in the Northern Shu Continent, and as their strength increases, once they are promoted to the Nascent Soul Stage, they will have no problem running rampant in the Northern Shu Continent with their means.
But we learned from Patriarch Jian that no matter how talented the two of them are, the resources of the Northern Shu Continent are capped here, and their best is only the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
After learning that Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion had an ancestor who had ascended to heaven, Li Shiming had already set his sights on ascension. He wanted to see a higher world and he did not want to decay with the grass and trees.
"Master, after I am promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, I will make the same choice as you. I will also be a disciple of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, and I will return to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion!" Li Yuanba just thought for a moment, communicated with his original body Li Shiming, and made the decision.
When he became a disciple of Patriarch Jian, he also entered Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion at the same time. He was also a disciple of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
“Okay, after you are promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, you will be able to find the map of departure from the scroll. According to that map, you will be able to find the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion. I will then wait for you at the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion!” said Patriarch Jian with a smile.
"Master, if your natal flying sword cannot be upgraded, do you need to reconsider changing it to a fourth-grade flying sword first?" Li Yuanba thought of the arrival of a powerful enemy in the middle Nascent Soul stage, and he suggested.
He had already thought it through. If Patriarch Jian really had this idea and Senluo Sect did not have a suitable fourth-grade flying sword, he would first take a fourth-grade flying sword from his main body.
He is different from pure sword cultivators like Jian Laozu. In addition to his natal flying sword, he also has a Wanjianfeng magic weapon, a silver corpse, and a third-grade sword base as a melee magic weapon.
"You don't need to think about this matter. Our sect already has a fourth-grade flying sword, but I guess there's no need for me to refine a new fourth-grade flying sword!" Ancestor Jian said with a faint smile.
"Master, have you found the upgrade materials?" Li Yuanba understood what was meant and asked happily.
He didn't know where the Sword Patriarch's confidence came from. In the previous transactions with the Nascent Soul Patriarch, there was no information about this at all.
"A powerful enemy has come to the Northern Shu Continent. Other sects will consider finding upgrade materials for me first!" Patriarch Jian said with a smile.
He is a sword cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. As long as he can truly exert his combat power, although he may not be able to defeat a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, he can play a huge role in the battle.
On the way, Li Shiming shared the conversation between Master Jian and Li Yuanba, his brows furrowed.
The drone satellite system did not cover the area in the sea, which made him unable to understand the situation of the seven Nascent Soul ancestors. He was worried that once the seven Nascent Soul ancestors were defeated, his peaceful time of cultivation would no longer exist.
Even though he has a noble status now, as a master of alchemy and the disciple of the Shushan Sect's Nascent Soul Patriarch, these will not be of much use when a crisis comes, and he will instead become the first target of attack.
Venerable Huike used the "A World Away" to speed up his journey and intercepted a giant airship approaching the Northern Shu continent in the sea.
"It's Tianxing Trading Company!" When Patriarch Lu saw the mark on the giant airship, he used spiritual power to transmit the message.
Without his reminder, all the Nascent Soul ancestors had discovered this.
Tianxing Trading Company is the force they value the most. It is precisely because of Tianxing Trading Company that each of the six major sects has a Nascent Soul ancestor who cannot go into seclusion.
However, the Nascent Soul Patriarch of Tianxing Trading Company disappeared, which made it impossible for the Nascent Soul Patriarchs of the six major sects to retreat in peace.
As long as it involves the Nascent Soul Ancestor, there is no small matter.
But they never imagined that Tianxing Trading Company actually had a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
"There is only one in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and I didn't sense that one!" Ancestor Lan Weiyan transmitted the message.
Her cultivation is not the strongest among all the Yuanying ancestors, but her mental power is the highest. Coupled with her special mental secret techniques, she can perceive more situations than other Yuanying ancestors.
"Could it be that that person died after being injured?" Old Ancestor Zuo guessed.
"No matter what, when this mid-Nascent Soul cultivator asks us, we will just say we don't know. We really don't know!" Patriarch Lu continued.
They did not want to go to war with the cultivators in the middle Nascent Soul stage. The reason they were able to preside over the affairs without seclusion was because they were still relatively young.
But a war at the Nascent Soul Patriarch level, especially a war with a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Patriarch, would be extremely exhausting for them and might even greatly shorten their lifespan.
In addition, the most important point is that they had a battle with the ancestor Weng Zhao.
Despite being at an absolute disadvantage, Patriarch Weng Zhao was still able to break through the siege and escape. His strength and means made them realize how powerful the Yuanying Patriarch of Tianxing Trading Company was.
The one in front of him is at a higher level than Old Ancestor Weng Zhao, so there is no need to say more about his strength.
If there really were a battle, perhaps one of the seven Nascent Soul ancestors present would die.
"There is such a big scene in the Northern Shu Continent. I just approached and so many Nascent Souls came?" A voice came from the giant airship, and then a person appeared at the bow of the giant ship.
"My name is Lu Gong. We happened to be holding a party and sensed the presence of a senior, so we came to greet him. May I know which senior from Tianxing Trading Company you are?" Patriarch Lu bowed and saluted.
In the Nascent Soul stage, each realm is vastly different, and it is normal for the early stage to call the middle stage a senior.
Patriarch Lu’s attitude was respectful, and he also wanted to find out what this middle-Nascent Soul cultivator wanted to do.
The mid-Nascent Soul cultivator intentionally revealed his mid-Nascent Soul aura, which meant he wanted to have a formal contact, rather than choosing to forcefully fly into the Northern Shu Continent. This showed that the other party was not necessarily planning to start a war.
"Jin Kai from Tianxing Trading Company, I came to Beishu Continent for two things this time. One is to rebuild Tianxing Trading Company, and the other is that Feng Yi and Weng Zhao have not been in contact for a long time. I came here specifically to find their whereabouts!" Ancestor Jin Kai said lightly.
As he spoke, he exuded a strong aura, and at the same time he was paying attention to the expressions of the seven Nascent Soul ancestors.
He practiced a secret technique that allowed him to sense the emotional changes of monks who were weaker than him, and thus make some judgments about the situation.
