Chapter 570 - 331: Return_2
Li Shiming had never anticipated that he would encounter trouble once again, and this time it was from a Nascent Soul Ancestor, different from the previous Venerable from Qianye Temple, but an adversarial Nascent Soul Ancestor.
Like the time Li Shiming encountered the Venerable from Qianye Temple, it was impossible for that Venerable to truly harm Li Shiming since Qianye Temple would not engage in actions that could affect the relationships between the two major sects; at most, the threat could be considered a scare.
But this time was different. The messages relayed by Li Shiming, coupled with what Elder Zuo discovered after heading to the battle site, all indicated that a Nascent Soul Ancestor who had concealed their aura had been present there.
Though Patriarch Weng Zhao’s secret technique for concealing his aura was extremely effective, it could not escape detection by another Nascent Soul Ancestor of the same rank.
Even when Elder Zuo was within a certain range of Patriarch Weng Zhao, the two Nascent Soul Ancestors could sense each other, and their understanding of the Heaven and Earth Rules allowed them to manipulate the might of heaven and earth within a certain area.
When two Nascent Soul Ancestors were present within this range, a contention for the might of heaven and earth would occur.
Having arrived at the location where Patriarch Weng Zhao had stayed for a while, Elder Zuo was even more certain of Patriarch Weng Zhao’s identity as a Nascent Soul Ancestor from the aura he had left behind.
Thus, the Sect Protection Array of the Shushan Sect was activated, and not just the Shushan Sect, but all the major sects and the forces affiliated with them received notification from the Shushan Sect, and various response measures were initiated.
"Master, I have caused you worry!" Li Shiming replied, feeling embarrassed.
Elder Su found it hard to say much, and couldn’t express his desire to have Li Shiming stay within the sect.
If Li Shiming, already a Golden Core cultivator, continued to stay confined to the sect without venturing out, he might never have a chance to ascend to the Nascent Soul Stage.
The state of mind is crucial for cultivators, especially the higher-rank cultivators.
