Chapter 162.2
Li Tianyan nibbled on Cheng Qi’s neck a few times, eliciting a muffled groan, before capturing Cheng Qi’s soft red lips with his own.
As soon as their lips touched, it was like thunder from the sky igniting fire on the earth, spiralling out of control. In the dim red gauze curtain, two blurry figures intertwined, and uncontrollable gasps escaped, making them both blush and their hearts race.
Once the impulse subsided, Li Tianyan felt deeply inadequate about this feeling of physical integration alone.
Now that he had cultivated to the Core Formation stage, he dared not be as wanton as before. He attempted to send a trace of true spiritual energy into Cheng Qi’s body while they moved together.
At first, Cheng Qi felt a bit uncomfortable. Li Tianyan wanted to stop, but Cheng Qi was unwilling and instead controlled the true spiritual energy to flow around them.
Seeing him like this, Li Tianyan did not stop him. Gradually, Li Tianyan’s true spiritual energy began to be accepted by Cheng Qi.
Not only did their energies merge, but the flames within them also flowed and intertwined, splitting into two and disappearing into their respective Dantians.
With this advancement, the Yin flame aura in Li Tianyan’s Dantian improved significantly. Meanwhile, Cheng Qi’s Yin fire also began to reach its potential.
The two remained in the room for another two days. When Li Tianyan finally got out of bed, the first thing he did was count the remaining high-grade spiritual stones on his body.
After using the high-grade spiritual stones this time, the low-grade spiritual stones were tasteless to absorb and were obviously useless. The middle-grade spiritual stones were scarce in Hengwu Continent, let alone the high-grade ones.
However, Li Tianyan used to enjoy collecting items, but there weren’t many high-grade spiritual stones in this continent. He usually consumed hundreds of them at a time, he had to leave some for Cheng Qi to use when forming core.
It seemed that once Cheng Qi formed the core, they would have to leave quickly and go to other continents.
.
In the dungeon of the Tianfan Immortal Sect’s Punishment Hall, several core formation elders waited outside a secret room.
“I don’t know if Tianyan can unlock the restriction,” Su Yu said, removing the smile he usually wore. He frowned slightly, speaking hesitantly.
The restriction seemed unusual, and breaking it forcibly would be dangerous.
“If even he can’t do it, I’m afraid no one in Hengwu Continent can solve it,” Xuan Zhen said, pacing back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back.
After so long, there was still no trace of the Shura Sect. Their nest was likely in another world, and if they could determine its location from this person, it would save them a lot of time.
Now that the war had ceased, many evil sects had taken the opportunity to escape. However, as long as the Shura Sect remained, no one dared to act rashly, fearing they might fall victim to the sect’s evil plans.
“The dignified Immortal Path has been toyed with by an evil sect to this extent. It’s truly infuriating. When we find the nest of the Shura Sect, we must crush these evil demons to ashes,” Elder Yan Si said through gritted teeth.
In the secret room, Tian Min watched anxiously as Li Tianyan searched for the soul of the captured core formation evil cultivator, afraid to disturb him.
When Li Tianyan finally stopped, Cheng Qi took the lead in asking, “Young master, have you found anything?”
“Yes,” Li Tianyan nodded. As he had suspected, the Shura Sect was indeed located on the Shura battlefield. The space rift that led to the Shura battlefield was in the South China Sea.
“You mean in the sea?” Tian Min asked, his surprise evident. No wonder the Shura Sect was so hidden.
Li Tianyan nodded and explained, “This Shura battlefield should have been attached to other continents. After being discovered by a Nascent Soul evil cultivator, it was used to study puppetry. When the evil cultivator died, his puppets and their inheritance remained in the Shura battlefield.”
“Later, the Shura battlefield detached from the plate it had originally been attached to, bordering Hengwu Continent. A crack in the space appeared, leading to strange phenomena in the sea, which were seen by a passing evil cultivator. Upon discovering the Shura battlefield, he inherited everything within.”
“I see,” Tian Min nodded, finally understanding why the Shura Sect’s members had a method to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
“After this person inherited the legacy of a group of puppets and the Nascent Soul evil cultivator, he began to plan for his own rise. Among the many evil sects, he selected a group of young Foundation Establishment evil cultivators, trained them as his confidants, and established the Shura Sect.”
“In the Shura Sect now, there are 800 Foundation Establishment evil cultivators, over 300 of whom are at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, along with thirteen core formation cultivators. In addition to the leader of the Shura Sect, who is at the peak of the Core Formation stage, there are two others in the late Core Formation stage.”
Li Tianyan paused briefly before continuing, “However, this sect leader is gifted in spiritual power and can control puppets beyond his level. Furthermore, there is a Nascent Soul puppet in the Shura battlefield, which has a peak level too.”
“A Nascent Soul puppet?” Tian Min couldn’t help but be surprised. Among the core formation cultivators from several major sects, the highest cultivation level reached was only the late Core Formation stage. Dealing with a peak evil cultivator was already challenging enough, but now they had to contend with a Nascent Soul puppet as well.
“That’s right,” Li Tianyan shrugged.
The other core formation elders were all shocked by the mention of the Nascent Soul puppet. Nonetheless, the Shura Sect had to be eradicated.
The entrance to the Shura Sect was in the South China Sea. After the core formation elders from other regions received the news, they were all summoned to the Tianfan Immortal Sect to discuss matters together.
