Big Data Cultivation

Chapter 2578: Chapter 2570: Demonic Qi

Ge Xilai’s eldest son unlocked the obsidian, and the news instantly transferred into his mind. After a moment’s pause, he burst into tears.

Master Liu was more worried, saying, "I can assure you this piece of obsidian was left by Master Xi Lai..."

To repay kindness, he was willing to pay the price of becoming an idiot, "If any of you still doubt me, then... I’m willing to accept soul-searching!"

However, upon hearing this, several people snorted, and Can Sheng the True Immortal directly remarked, "Such a trivial matter requires soul-searching? Ha... typical of a loose cultivator without inheritance."

Master Liu naturally didn’t mind the mockery, avoiding soul-searching was obviously better, and being ridiculed a bit was nothing.

In fact, Qian Zhong, Yi Jue, Han Hai, Wei Sancai, and Feng Jun instantly confirmed that this obsidian was indeed left by Ge Xilai. Hence, the related information should also be true.

Yi Jue paid no heed to such trivial matters but directly stated, "There’s no time to waste. Quickly, go capture that bear family bastard."

The others also understood the urgency, exchanged glances, and rapidly flashed towards the transmission array.

Despite their haste, they were still a step too late. By the time they reached the location of that bear family’s Nascent Soul practitioner, the place was already destroyed — not just abandoned, but the entire vast estate had been completely obliterated, leaving only a large crater.

Above the crater, a significant amount of demonic aura was still lingering, and upon seeing this scene from afar, everyone halted.

"It truly might be an ancient family," Han Hai True Sage frowned slightly, "Raising a heavenly demon, using it to disrupt aura at a crucial moment, preventing backtracking—truly resorting to any means necessary."

Hearing this, Qian Zhong couldn’t help but snort softly, "I was reluctant to say anything, but you had to nitpick. Even sect practitioners use such methods!"

Han Hai True Sage replied dismissively, "The sect has already discussed openly prohibiting this technique, and naturally would abide by it."

"Ha," Qian Zhong and Wei Sancai snorted in unison, clearly unimpressed—who doesn’t know about sect affairs?

Nonetheless, neither of them said anything more, so Han Hai True Sage also fell silent.

Feng Jun deduced for a moment and spoke solemnly, "There’s not much danger in the crater, but the demonic aura needs clearing."

Qian Zhong and the two Great Sages remained silent. Clearing demonic aura was trivial for them, but if they acted, their own aura would become part of the interference sources in tracing the aura.

Yi Jue turned to Feng Jun with a glance, "Will my aura interfere when you’re deducing?"

"No," Feng Jun shook his head, his technique essentially simulates time-space backtracking, but he preferred she didn’t act, "If you use techniques, it would be too wasteful of spiritual energy, wouldn’t it?"

"She should be the one to act," Wei Sancai spoke gravely, "She hasn’t reached Emergence Stage yet, so her aura is relatively weak. It shouldn’t overly affect True Sage’s deduction. If True Sage clears the demonic aura, deduction becomes harder."

Qian Zhong glanced at Feng Jun, "If your deduction involves time-space rules, I’m able to take action."

"Let me handle this," Yi Jue raised her hand without hesitation, pointing forward, "Si Ganlin!"

Instantly, dark clouds rolled in overhead. But before they could converge, countless raindrops descended from the sky, falling upon the demonic aura, rapidly transforming into billowing white mist, within which faint lamentations could be heard.

"Truly... vicious!" A practitioner watching nearby couldn’t help but gasp, "With demonic aura this dense, how long would it take us to clear it?"

On the Tianqin Plane, demonic aura can’t naturally exist long-term, but such dense demonic aura would take thirty to fifty years to naturally dissipate—requiring careful guarding to prevent people from entering.

As for attracting those with ulterior motives or drawing heavenly demons, though the probability is small, these issues objectively exist, presenting a huge hassle.

Now, someone cleared the demonic aura, which is certainly a good thing, but one shouldn’t ignore the maliciousness of those who summoned the demonic aura.

Clearing this demonic aura took about ten minutes, as the crater was approximately Bai Li in radius, not very large. Yi Jue used divine skills on Tianqin without the interference of rules, so she didn’t need to consider the Rain Prayer Array.

After clearing the demonic aura, Yi Jue retracted her hand, and soon the rain ceased. The dark clouds lingered but that was irrelevant. The group rapidly flashed above the crater, once more beginning deduction.

Half an hour later, Han Hai True Sage spoke first, "They tore open space to escape. That’s all I can deduce."

It’s not that he doubted his own deducing ability; he believed none of the others could deduce more.

Yi Jue nodded at this, "That’s indeed the case. Also, prior circumstances can’t be deduced."

Qian Zhong nodded slightly, "The last person who left scrambled prior auras and personally unleashed heavenly demons—unable to glean previous information... at least a secret technique of Emergence Stage."

After analyzing, everyone turned to Feng Jun, awaiting his opinion.

Feng Jun took out an obsidian, carving a figure on it—his illustration skill was terrible, so he used Divine Sense to etch on the obsidian. "The last person who left looked like this... appears to be Nascent Soul High Stage."

Due to the time-space rule’s backtracking, he could observe the person, ascertain cultivation level, but couldn’t learn the real name.

Qian Zhong unceremoniously uncovered the obsidian, sensed it, then asked in puzzlement, "Has this face been concealed?"

The person’s features were too clear, which made the investigation relatively easy, hence her inquiry.

"Perhaps it has been concealed," Feng Jun wasn’t sure about this, but he stated, "However, the portrait I drew depicts the real face."

"Does the deduction involve the ability to dispel illusions?" Han Hai True Sage couldn’t help but glance at him, his eyes showing some astonishment.

Qian Zhong’s gaze also turned cautious as she looked at him, after all, the Yao Family was renowned for concealing their presence.

Yi Jue wasn’t thinking as much, "Can you deduce anything else besides that?"

"I can’t deduce more," Feng Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The Heavenly Demon’s method truly is a stroke of genius; concealing presence is indeed effective."

Then he looked at Qian Zhong, "After the space was torn, where did he go? I couldn’t track him down, how about you, Qian Zhong elder?"

Qian Zhong furrowed her brows, "Can you point out exactly where the space was torn open?"

Feng Jun raised his hand and released a white mist, enveloping a small area, "Right there."

Han Hai and Qian Zhong worked simultaneously, each grabbing a swirl of white mist, squinting their eyes to feel it carefully.

What they grabbed wasn’t the white mist Feng Jun released, but the rules of the space there, determining where the other party went by sensing the changes in the rules.

After sensing for about five minutes, the two of them almost simultaneously opened their eyes, exchanged a glance, and shook their heads.

They said nothing, but everyone already knew that tracking the other’s trajectory had failed.

Wei Sancai originally didn’t plan to make a move, knowing he was slightly weaker in this aspect, but seeing the two remain silent, he couldn’t resist also reaching out to grasp a swirl of white mist, squinting to sense it.

The next moment, however, he opened his eyes in astonishment, "Such chaotic rules... how did you endure this, was it Free Wander Teleportation?"

Free Wander Teleportation sounds nice, but strictly speaking, it should be called "Random Teleportation," more bluntly put it’s random teleportation escapes.

After tearing through space, not anchoring to one place but opting for random teleportation is rather irresponsible, but whoever wants to deduce the direction of the escape will find the difficulty significantly increased.

Han Hai True Sage shook his head, very confidently stating, "It wasn’t Free Wander Teleportation. If he dared use Free Wander, and his whereabouts somehow fell into people’s eyes, is Seven Gates Eighteen Paths just decoration?"

Random Teleportation is very advantageous for evading deducing, but the user also doesn’t know where they’ve teleported to; if seen by others, their whereabouts would still be exposed, right? Therefore, Han Hai True Sage believes the other party wouldn’t dare use Free Wander Teleportation.

Wei Sancai was dumbfounded upon hearing this, "Then what method did this bastard use after tearing through space?"

"It was Free Wander Teleportation," Qian Zhong gave a different answer, and even provided a reason, "Limited-range Free Wander Teleportation."

"Wow," Wei Sancai immediately understood the meaning, his eyes widening, "Can it be used like this?"

"I’ve heard people say that someone might be able to use this method," Qian Zhong calmly stated, "This also counts as a clue, right?"

"Who would use space like this?" Wei Sancai couldn’t help but shake his head vehemently, knowing he specializes in space, "Elder, you wouldn’t be spreading misinformation, would you?"

Qian Zhong gave him a sidelong glance, dismissively shook her head, "Less experience allows for more questions, don’t casually negate things."

"You’re saying I’m inexperienced?" Wei Sancai’s eyes widened, "I’m in the Emergence Stage, having studied space for so many years."

Qian Zhong looked at him faintly, "Above Emergence Stage, there is still Divine Spirit, Fusion Stage, and Tribulation Transcending Stage."

Wei Sancai was momentarily speechless after hearing this, but since the Wei Family and Yao Family are closely related, he didn’t take this argument to heart. After regaining his composure, he spoke solemnly, "Then whose claim is this? Can you give a hint?"

Qian Zhong pondered for a moment before answering, "It’s not just one family, why not ask Han Hai Fellow Daoist."

Han Hai True Sage shook his head, changing the topic, "I plan to offer a reward for this portrait at Xuanshui Sect, would you like to join?"

Yi Jue very straightforwardly stated, "Spirit Plant Dao will also offer a reward."

Upon saying this, she glanced at Feng Jun and added, "Five slots for entering the void, might as well use them."

Feng Jun couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, wondering if she didn’t want to take advantage of him, or was she still harboring grievances?

Wei Sancai’s eyes lit up upon hearing that, but then he was stunned, finally sighing reluctantly, "Our Wei Family doesn’t have many disciples entering the small world, it seems this reward has no fate with our Wei Family."

However, although he spoke like this, looking at his unwilling eyes, it was clear he might not give up easily.
