Cultivation is just so scientific!

Two years had passed in the blink of an eye, and throughout this time, friction between the righteous and demonic forces on the Beishu Continent continued unabated.

Fortunately, it hadn't sparked a major conflict. The biggest disturbance over these two years had been when two Arhats from Qianye Temple ventured deep into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains of the Senluo Sect, who discovered and pursued them.

The two Arhats from Qianye Temple possessed a special secret technique, which allowed them to successfully evade the large-scale pursuit launched by the Senluo Sect.

Of course, this was also related to the unique geographical environment of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. It wasn't dominated by the Senluo Sect or, rather, by human Cultivators alone; there resided equally powerful spirit beast clans.

Once the two Arhats ventured into the territory of the spirit beasts in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, the Senluo Sect could no longer track them.

Since then, the two Arhats from Qianye Temple seemed to have vanished, leading the Senluo Sect to suspect that they might have fallen to the spirit beasts in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

Upon learning the Arhats appeared in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, Li Shiming speculated about their intentions.

However, Yuan Ba's clone had been invisible on Sword Holding Peak, so even if the two Arhats truly came for Yuan Ba, their efforts were futile.

In the second year, Yuan Ba, after choosing three tasks, didn't immediately accept them but stealthily left his sect. He accepted the tasks only after reaching the vicinity of his targets and quickly completed them, thus swiftly concluding his second year's assignments.

For the rest of the time, Yuan Ba never left Sword Holding Peak again.
