Li Yuanba's stubborn mentality got the better of him. He knew that the direction he was tracking was correct, and he did not give up the pursuit just because he could not find the location where the middle Nascent Soul cultivator had left the space.
He continued to use the "So Close Yet So Far Away" technique, moving in the direction of the pursuit.
At the same time, he kept paying attention to the changes in space. He believed that as long as there was a change in space just now, he would be able to sense it.
It didn't take him long to track before he was blocked by a temple.
With his eyes focused slightly, he sensed the spatial fluctuations within the temple.
Although this temple was protected by a large formation, with his familiarity and perception of spatial energy, he still sensed strong spatial fluctuations.
He looked at the temple in front of him and was almost certain that his target, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, was inside the temple.
He also guessed the other party's method. He had seen similar descriptions in some books about space.
Some beings who have mastered powerful space means can set up a space receiving formation. As long as they are within the range of the space receiving formation and activate the corresponding space talisman, they can be directly teleported to the space receiving formation.
Li Yuanba has been in the world of immortal cultivation for quite some time, but he has never seen this kind of space-receiving formation with his own eyes.
In the world of immortal cultivation, cultivators who have truly mastered the magical powers of space are extremely rare.
Strictly speaking, the ability to travel through the air like the divine power was something he was able to master because of his own luck. That was because the Northern Shu continent was too closed, and the Buddhist sect there had inherited the divine power, which accidentally fell into his hands, giving him the opportunity to learn it.
In other continents, even wanting to contact the Buddhist sect is extremely difficult, let alone inheriting the divine power from the Buddhist sect.
"Xiao Leiyin Temple!" He read out the name of the temple.
After seeing the name of Xiao Leiyin Temple, he knew what it was.
From the name of Xiao Leiyin Temple, you can tell that it is related to Da Leiyin Temple. In fact, there is only one Da Leiyin Temple in the world of immortal cultivation, and the temples of Da Leiyin Temple in other areas are called Xiao Leiyin Temple.
It seems that the target of this mission is closely related to Xiao Leiyin Temple, otherwise it would be impossible to have the opportunity to be teleported to Xiao Leiyin Temple to save life.
“If this was the Big Leiyin Temple, I would turn around and leave, but it’s just a Small Leiyin Temple, and it actually dared to protect the enemies of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion!” Li Yuanba said in a deep voice.
His voice was emitted through spiritual power and could travel very far. I think his words would definitely be able to reach the Little Leiyin Temple.
He was waiting for a reply from Xiao Leiyin Temple. If the other party handed over his mission target, he would take the mission target away and no longer embarrass Xiao Leiyin Temple.
But if Xiao Leiyin Temple does not hand over the mission target, then he will take the mission target away personally.
"Amitabha, Xiao Leiyin Temple is a secluded place, please don't disturb it!" A monk walked out of Xiao Leiyin Temple while chanting the Buddha's name.
Li Yuanba's eyes suddenly became sharp. He did not expect that a great master would walk out of the small Leiyin Temple.
He began to wonder if this was a trap set for him, using the target of the mission, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, to intentionally lure him here.
Without any hesitation, he suppressed the fourth-grade top-level magic weapon Xing Yijian and suspended it beside him. The "Chaos Sword Intention" filled every bit of space within Xing Yijian, and faint ripples appeared in the void in front of Xing Yijian.
Although the 'Chaos Sword Intent' can transform into various sword intents, its own sword intent power is the most terrifying.
Li Yuanba immediately displayed the 'Chaos Sword Intent' which his original body Li Shiming and IBMz15 had spent ten years researching, preparing to fight head-on with the great master in front of him.
When Master Hongfa saw Li Yuanba's reaction, he was stunned.
Even though he had seen many cultivators in his life, including quite a few sword cultivators, he had never thought that a sword cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul would dare to draw his sword to respond when the Great Venerable told him to leave.
Did the swordsman in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul before him think that he could face the wrath of the Great Venerable, or did he think that the Great Venerable would not dare to attack the swordsman from the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion!
The Great Master Hongfa did not recognize Li Yuanba. In fact, this was not a trap set for Li Yuanba at all.
The cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage who escaped here is the external intelligence chief of the Great Leiyin Temple. Although he is a layman, he is also a secret member of the Great Leiyin Temple.
The intelligence chief who escaped had not yet had the chance to explain the situation when he was unexpectedly chased by a swordsman.
Great Venerable Hongfa then came out and wanted to drive away the sword cultivator, thinking that with his status as a great Venerable, the sword cultivator would turn around and leave when he saw him here.
The Great Venerable is equivalent to a great monk. The difference in titles is just the way Buddhism distinguishes Buddhism from other sects.
"Kill!" Li Yuanba shouted, and a sword suddenly flew out.
As soon as he shouted, before his voice reached the ears of Great Venerable Hongfa, Xing's sword had already hit the defense of Great Venerable Hongfa.
This sword activated the defensive shield hidden on the body of Great Venerable Hongfa. As the Buddha's light flashed, Great Venerable Hongfa seemed to be standing in the golden light, appearing sacred and solemn.
But the expression on his face did not remain sacred and solemn for long, and suddenly changed color.
He just waved his hand, and with the movement of his arm, the cassock on his body turned into a shield that blocked Xing Yijian.
"Swish!" Following the sound of clothes tearing, Great Venerable Hongfa retreated somewhat embarrassedly into the protection range of the formation of Xiao Leiyin Temple.
The formation of Xiao Leiyin Temple blocked the attack of Xing Yijian. Seeing this, Li Yuanba waved his hand and Xing Yijian flew back to his side.
In his battle with Great Venerable Hongfa, it was obvious that Great Venerable Hongfa suffered a great loss. His retreat into the protection of the formation of Xiao Leiyin Temple was tantamount to admitting defeat.
In fact, if Great Venerable Hongfa was really determined to fight, he could have taken out his magic weapon to deal with it instead of retreating.
"You are Li Yuanba!" The Great Master Hongfa had an extremely ugly expression on his face at this moment, which made him lose the bearing of a great monk and have a little more of the aura of a normal person.
At this point, how could Great Venerable Hongfa not know who the young swordsman in front of him was.
In recent years, Li Yuanba's reputation has been very high, especially his achievement of killing the great monk Ge Guang, which has solidified his position as the number one in the middle Nascent Soul stage.
This is the number one person in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in the world of immortal cultivation, and his reputation is recognized by all major superpowers.
The fact that the great Venerable Hongfa is sitting in the Little Leiyin Temple shows that he is not an important Venerable.
In fact, his combat power was not that strong, nor was he particularly good at fighting. His promotion to the Great Venerable was entirely due to luck.
This kind of thing happens frequently in the world of immortal cultivation. Most of the great cultivators among the independent cultivators are just extremely lucky.
One in ten chances to be promoted to a great monk, he was promoted successfully in one go and became a great monk. This kind of unreasonable luck often occurs when there is a huge base of monks.
However, those core monks, through a large amount of precious resources, increased the promotion rate to one-tenth, or even one-fifth, but still failed. There is simply no way to explain this.
After being promoted to the Great Venerable, Grand Venerable Hongfa's combat power was only average. Even after hundreds of years of training, he was only at the level of an ordinary great cultivator.
The ordinary great monks here refer to the great monks other than those from super powers, the kind of great monks who lack resources.
But in fact, Great Venerable Hongfa is able to obtain a lot of resources, and the Great Leiyin Temple will not give him less resources just because of his weakness.
He was also aware of his reputation, so he took the initiative to apply to be in charge of this small Leiyin Temple, and became the person in charge of this area far away from the Big Leiyin Temple.
This place is far away from the troubles in the Great Leiyin Temple, so he can practice and understand Buddhism in peace.
Although he is not good at fighting, he was born in the Great Leiyin Temple and has some vision.
The terrifying power of Li Yuanba's sword made him want to retreat, especially when he recognized Li Yuanba's identity, he directly withdrew from the battlefield.
"Master, are you planning to use the formation of this small Leiyin Temple to fight with me?" Li Yuanba did not expect that the Great Master Hongfa would do this. He was stunned and asked in a deep voice.
With one strike of his sword, Li Yuanba discovered that something was wrong with the Great Venerable Hongfa.
The combat power of Great Master Hongfa is really quite weak, probably only slightly stronger than Great Master Luo Pei, and that’s without Great Master Luo Pei using his magical Black Water Sword.
He was curious about how the Great Leiyin Temple could have such a great master. Even if he used all the resources, he should be able to create a relatively powerful combat force.
"Donor Li Yuanba, please don't go too far. You are provoking the Great Leiyin Temple!" The Great Master Hongfa was so angry that he said angrily.
However, he was standing within the formation of Xiao Leiyin Temple, so his words seemed a little lacking in confidence.
Li Yuanba felt a bit of a headache. How could there be such a great master? If the other party fought with him, he might be able to rely on the power of the "Chaos Sword Intent" to severely damage the great master Hongfa.
However, Great Venerable Hongfa was hiding inside the formation. Even if he could break the formation, he still had to prevent the attacks of Great Venerable Hongfa at the same time, which made him a little embarrassed.
Even though the Great Venerable Hongfa is indeed a little weak, it does not mean that the attack power of the Great Venerable Hongfa is really not threatening.
On the contrary, the attack of Great Master Hongfa was something Li Yuanba could not withstand. What Li Yuanba relied on were the two spiritual treasures and the "Chaos Sword Intention", which were the confidence to deal with powerful people at the level of great cultivators.
When the formation of Xiao Leiyin Temple offset Li Yuanba's attack and gave Great Venerable Hongfa the opportunity to attack him, he was in danger.
His defense cannot withstand the attack of Great Venerable Hongfa. No matter how weak the Great Venerable is, his attack is at the level of a great monk. His defense will be broken instantly by the attack of a great monk.
What he is good at is free-range fighting, and he uses various means to prevent the great monk from having any chance to attack.
He looked deeply at the Great Venerable Hongfa, and his figure disappeared from the spot. Then, under the gaze of the Great Venerable Hongfa, he continued to flash towards the distance.
When the Great Venerable Hongfa saw Li Yuanba leave, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When the great Venerable Hongfa returned to the temple, he saw the intelligence chief who had taken the secular name Bai Yong and the Buddhist name Mingfa.
Mingfa was dressed like an ordinary monk. Only a few venerable monks in the Great Leiyin Temple knew his Dharma name Mingfa. He usually went out under the identity of Bai Yong.
"Thank you, Venerable Hongfa!" Mingfa put his hands together and bowed to express his gratitude.
Mingfa looked respectful, but he didn't think so in his heart. He had the instinct of an intelligence officer and had just watched the meeting between Master Hongfa and Li Yuanba.
The Great Venerable Hongfa was forced back into the temple by Li Yuanba's sword. Mingfa was shocked by Li Yuanba's strength and felt helpless about the Great Venerable Hongfa's strength.
He knew that Great Venerable Hongfa was not good at fighting, but he never expected that his fighting power would be so weak.
"What are your plans?" Great Venerable Hongfa looked at Mingfa, who had caused him trouble, and asked.
He was planning to drive the guest away; he didn't want Mingfa to stay here any longer.
"I will stay here for one night and then leave!" Although Mingfa understood what Master Hongfa meant, he still wanted to stay one more night, so he said so.
If you leave at this time, you will definitely meet Li Yuanba.
He used a teleportation talisman to teleport back to Xiao Leiyin Temple, but even so, Li Yuanba still found this place in a very short time.
He didn't believe that Li Yuanba didn't have any secret method of tracking.
He planned to delay until tomorrow. He had already sent a message to the main temple. If Li Yuanba did not retreat today, he would face two great masters tomorrow.
"So be it!" Great Venerable Hongfa didn't have the courage to directly ask to expel Mingkong. After all, he was a member of the Great Leiyin Temple. If he really did that, he would have trouble explaining to the main temple.
Mingfa bowed and went to rest, leaving the great Venerable Hongfa alone with his eyes closed and chanting Buddhist scriptures.
Li Yuanba was also resting with his eyes closed. He did not waste any time while talking with the great master Hongfa outside the Xiao Leiyin Temple.
He used the 'Divine Eyes' to observe the formation of the Little Leiyin Temple and contacted IBMz15, who then analyzed and studied the formation.
The formation of the Small Leiyin Temple is almost the same as that of the large sects, but the Small Leiyin Temple does not have a cave space barrier, and its actual defense is far inferior to the mountain gate of the large sect.
It was precisely the lack of protection from the cave space barrier that gave Li Yuanba a way to deal with it.
Of course, he also took Great Venerable Hongfa into account. He had come into contact with many great monks, but it was extremely rare to find one who was so afraid of fighting as Great Venerable Hongfa.
But he also understood that this was the real world of cultivating immortals.
The monks he had met before were all great monks who were on missions outside, and these great monks were all combat-type great monks.
Except for the original body Li Shiming who met some great wandering cultivators while he was wandering outside, a large portion of the real great wandering cultivators rarely show up in public.
These weak great monks are also afraid that they will be targeted in cross-level battles by the core monks in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul of the super powers, which would become the cornerstone of the core monks' fame.
To be honest, if Great Venerable Hongfa had not taken in Li Yuanba's mission target, Li Yuanba would not have wanted to deal with Great Venerable Hongfa.
Of course, there was another reason. He wanted to take a look at the space receiving formation. The research significance of the space receiving formation was too great for him.
