Li Yuanba activated ’Divine Insight’ and connected to his life’s treasure, the IBMz15.
’Divine Insight’ observed the surroundings; although the Golden Core was restricted, what ’Divine Insight’ required was spirit, which couldn’t be restricted.
The IBMz15 analyzed the data provided by ’Divine Insight’ and quickly gave conclusions about the four walls of the cell and the formation here.
This gave Li Yuanba a bit of confidence, as he usually did not pay attention to such places.
Although the formation of Black Mountain is extremely complex, having been strengthened over countless years, even ordinary Array Masters are at a loss.
But with the IBMz15’s analysis, the formation’s weaknesses were found, and as long as he could restore his Spiritual Power Pattern, he could break the formation.
Regarding the restriction within his body, after repeated checking, he found it was not easy to break.
The prohibition laid down by Elder Li was due to Li Yuanba’s reputation, and it was done with the full capability of a Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner.
To break the prohibition, Li Yuanba would need the help of a Nascent Soul Cultivator; otherwise, it would be impossible.
He thought while resting with closed eyes; even if there was a way, he couldn’t act immediately.
He had a feeling that someone was watching him all the time.
In the Thousand Illusion Sect, Ancestor Ge Yuqing looked at Yin Shilan, who was tearful. Knowing Li Shiming was in trouble, Yin Shilan came pleading for the master’s help.
"Shilan, don’t worry too much, those petty old men don’t realize the value of an Alchemy Master like Master Li compared to an unknown inheritance.
Even if Master Li obtained the inheritance, it’s his fortune, and with such fortune, they’ll regret it later," Ancestor Ge comforted Yin Shilan with a wave of her hand.
She saw clearly that the Nascent Soul Ancestors were blinded by the Cave Heaven Inheritance.
Even if Li Shiming truly obtained the Cave Heaven Inheritance and they captured him, do they truly believe they could keep it on the Beishu Continent?
Look at the Skywalk Trading Company and the Heavenly Inquiry Sect; just two Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners have made it difficult for the Beishu Continent to cope.
Not to mention the support from Skywalk Trading Company and Heavenly Inquiry Sect, merely the collaboration of two Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners could prevent the Beishu Continent from securing the Cave Heaven Inheritance.
"Master, will Shiming be alright?" Yin Shilan, somewhat soothed by the words, asked.
"Master Li is so shrewd; when Ancestor Luo from Heavenly Inquiry Sect ambushed the Shushan Sect, Master Li had already escaped in advance. With such vigilance, how could other cultivators find him?" Ancestor Ge said with a smile.
Yin Shilan felt more at ease upon hearing this.
"For the time being, stay here with me, and I will offer you some guidance," Ancestor Ge thought for a moment and said.
Guiding a disciple was one thing, but the most important was to protect Yin Shilan.
Previously, other sects’ Nascent Soul Ancestors approached her, hoping to use Yin Shilan to trace Li Shiming. However, she blocked them, claiming Yin Shilan knew nothing.
The Thousand Illusion Sect is of the Righteous Path, and she owed a favor to Li Shiming, she had no face to do such a thing.
Most importantly, Yin Shilan was her formally accepted disciple; she would not sell out her disciple.
"Yes, Master!" Yin Shilan, unaware of the reasons, only complied with her master’s words.
After Ancestor Ge arranged a temporary cave abode for her and settled things, news reached her that Li Yuanba had been imprisoned.
"Has the Senluo Sect gone mad?" She shook her head in disbelief.
She had heard of Li Yuanba’s renown; the foremost Golden Core in Beishu Continent, subduing all Golden Cores from the Skywalk Trading Company single-handedly.
Such a gifted disciple, with the highest hopes of achieving Nascent Soul, was being treated this way.
Not just Ancestor Ge, even within the Senluo Sect, there were many differing opinions about Li Yuanba’s imprisonment, but it was the order of a Nascent Soul Ancestor; no other cultivator could change it.
Li Yuanba was imprisoned under the pretext of associating with the Righteous Path’s Li Shiming.
This reason made cultivators who heard of it shake their heads; before, which cultivator in Beishu Continent didn’t want to associate with Li Shiming, especially when the righteous and demonic paths had allied, how could such an association lead to guilt?
Rumors even emerged from the Senluo Sect that Li Yuanba would have his cultivation abolished and be cast into the abyss behind Black Mountain in two months.
The Senluo Sect’s Black Mountain Abyss was an absolute deathtrap, filled with ghosts and zombies, and with one’s cultivation abolished, entering it meant certain death.
This message was intentionally spread by the Senluo Sect to attract Li Shiming to rescue his friend.
Moreover, to lure Li Shiming out, the six major sects announced that thirty days hence, they would hold an important discussion with the Skywalk Trading Company and Heavenly Inquiry Sect, attended by Nascent Soul Ancestors.
Combining the two pieces of news gave Li Shiming an opportunity to rescue; with no Nascent Soul Ancestors at the Senluo Sect’s gates, if Li Yuanba’s bond with Li Shiming was deep enough, Li Shiming would come to his aid.
The reason Elder Li believed Li Shiming would definitely come to rescue Li Yuanba was Li Yuanba’s usual carelessness, revealing too much about their association.
Especially when Elder Sword left, he obtained a Fourth Grade Healing High-level Spirit Pill, which was exchanged using the Golden Corpse Core by Li Yuanba from Li Shiming.
Although this news didn’t seem significant, as Li Yuanba was a disciple of Elder Sword, and Elder Sword was a disciple of Ancestor Lu, the matter wasn’t kept secret at the time; rather, it evidenced Li Yuanba’s filial piety towards his master.
