Big Data Cultivation

Luo Shiqi felt extremely unbalanced, since when did the Wei Family’s True Sage dare to hover around my family’s gate?

However, what Luo Yuanwu saw was that Feng Jun had already pulled together two True Sages, and this potential capability was truly frightening.

Thus, he summoned Luo Zhuanhe, "Have you understood the identities of the big bosses opposite us?"

"Understood," Luo Zhuanhe nodded with a pale face, he finally knew why all the elders in the clan had come—two True Sages had arrived outside, wanting to investigate the culprits. Without the elders present, he really didn’t know how to handle it.

Actually, even now, he doesn’t know how to handle it, "I’ve already notified them, and we’re working hard to gather recent information."

"It’s not just working hard, it’s a must," Luo Yuanwu furrowed his brow, expressing displeasure, "If you can’t do it, I’ll replace your job... do you think changing jobs would be better?"

He is a high-level figure in the Luo family, and he understands the sentiments within the clan—the post guarding Xin Mo is a tough job, everyone is eager for a change.

However, Luo Zhuanhe absolutely does not dare to underestimate this issue, he really doesn’t want to stay in Xin Mo, but he understands even more that some places are a hundred times worse than Xin Mo.

Wei Sancai, after bickering with Luo Shiqi for a while, also began to sense this space. Although he knew Han Hai found nothing, he did not give up on verification. Even though Han Hai’s reputation precedes him, Wei had the confidence of an experienced True Sage.

Seeing him operate in such a manner, Luo Shiqi also began to sense. Previously, he hadn’t acted, not only because he trusted Han Hai’s strength, but more importantly, he truly didn’t know what insider information might be uncovered.

To put it bluntly, the Luo family had a significant influence in this plate, and in case anything detrimental to them was uncovered, how should it be handled?

It was only because the old nuisance Wei Sancai took action that he made this decision: regardless of what can be uncovered, he couldn’t be smaller in courage compared to the opponent.

Wei Sancai dared to venture and explore, of course for a reason. Originally, he descended with three true immortals from the Wei family, but didn’t reveal himself—three true immortals protecting a domain protection formation were already enough. He followed just to experience the Space Annihilation Technique.

Wei Sancai has lived for over 4,000 years, which is precisely why the outside world has spread news of his death.

An Emergence Stage lifespan is 6,000 years, but frequent injuries might greatly shorten it—injuries causing suffering at this stage are rare, often involving causality and rules, which aren’t comparable to injuries at Golden Core or Nascent Soul stages.

Wei Sancai, unfortunately, suffered more than one injury, which many people outside know. However, others didn’t know he had fortuitous encounters; despite being injured, his foundation wasn’t damaged.

Under these circumstances, the Wei family hid him away to feign death. If any forces harbored improper intentions towards the Wei family, they could have more options, whether he appeared publicly or acted clandestinely.

In reality, the publicly known Emergence Stage Wei Youhui of the Wei family also had notably robust combat strength, having such a standard-bearer was enough; any more, and it would be unseemly.

Wei Sancai descended to Kunhao purely for the Space Annihilation Technique, as he was always researching rules related to space, and such technique was quite rare. His goal was to sense those rules, potentially aiding his path.

When the four members of the Wei family reached White Pebble Beach, Feng Jun happened to be in Tianqin, with the three true immortals waiting directly, while Wei Sancai focused on sensing the Space Annihilation Technique—the technique had already vanished, but the involved rules wouldn’t swiftly disappear completely.

Indeed, he managed to catch a trace of shifting rules, an ability even Han Hai True Sage lacked—though Han Hai was powerful enough, every cultivator had their own strengths, which need not be elaborated further.

After sensing, Wei Sancai did gain insights, although not very substantial, he was quite content. At his cultivation level, any even slight opportunity for advancement was exceptionally precious.

He was savoring the moment when Feng Jun returned, allowing him to observe the individual.

Feng Jun noticed the Wei family indeed brought a formation, feeling quite thankful, without saying something dismissive like "not needed," but instead remarked that White Pebble Beach had considerable Domain Care, and he would temporarily keep the formation.

Naturally, he was only borrowing it and stated a term of as little as half a year to as much as ten years, and once the culprit was identified, he would return the formation.

The Wei family also originally intended to lend it, but Feng Jun insisted on paying rent, to which the three true immortals of the Wei family wouldn’t agree.

Feng Jun’s offer was merely waiving the commission from the Wei family’s juniors’ harvests in the void, but the true immortals refused—they loaned the formation intending to build rapport with Feng Jun, not for profit.

Issues that Spirit Stones could resolve were of little interest to the Wei family; the most costly are free gestures.

After a bit of debate between the two sides, Feng Jun proactively suggested, claiming progress in investigations in Tianqin, though not overly optimistic. Should the period exceed a decade, he’d like to rent further, prompting potential further negotiations for them—it would be awkward to ask for more borrowed time if it were free now.

The Wei family’s true immortals were a bit curious: We heard you already found clues, given your and Han Hai True Sage’s strength, you couldn’t pursue further?

Feng Jun didn’t mind detailing the situation of the Xin Mo plate, including the Six Pillar Sky Deceiving Formation, openly discussing matters without fearing alarming the snake, with hopes of unexpected gains—actively involving the masses was key.

Upon hearing this, Wei Sancai couldn’t help but reveal himself.

First, he stated that the formation was borrowed for free, then added, "I know a bit about the Six Pillar Sky Deceiving Formation. If you take me to the Xin Mo Plate, in case of a battle, I can offer some combat strength."

Faced with the eager True Sage, Feng Jun found it hard to refuse and had to bring Wei Sancai and a True Immortal to Xin Mo.

Wei Sancai had lived long enough to know a bit about the Six Pillar Formation, though it was merely superficial.

What he cared more about was how the Space Annihilation Technique was unleashed.

After roughly two hours of deduction, he stopped and sighed, "Such a grand gesture... it feels like using up a True Treasure to unleash the space annihilation attack."

"Using up a True Treasure?" Han Hai True Sage looked at him in surprise, "How did Fellow Daoist Sancai deduce that?"

At this moment, Luo Shiqi also opened his eyes slowly, a hint of surprise flickering in them. He turned to look at Luo Yuanwu, finding that this Nascent Soul Middle Phase cultivator was also deducing, leading him to smile wryly and shake his head.

"This... intuition, I guess," Wei Sancai answered, brows furrowed, "As you all know, the Tao follows nature. I have a deep understanding of space rules. This cross-realm attack has a resemblance to Fellow Daoist Angler’s Fish Basket, with a spatial stacking effect..."

He explained for quite a while, roughly outlining his thinking, unafraid that listeners might learn his rules.

Understanding rules isn’t that easy, but his explanation offered a similar enlightenment effect, letting others draw parallels.

Even Han Hai True Sage sensed insight, the white mist significantly thickened, developing a strange rhythm.

"Hmm?" Wei Sancai observed his reaction, eyebrows slightly raised, "Interesting, can someone gain insights this way? But... wait, is this possible?"

Both ended up resonating due to the other’s reaction—essentially the benefit of sharing insights.

Feng Jun was somewhat dazed too. With his cultivation level, he couldn’t perceive the profound rules, yet felt inexplicably touched—akin to what others call "epiphany." Although he lacked qualifications, epiphany isn’t necessarily tied to one’s cultivation level.

The True Immortal from the Wei Family noticed what was happening but regretfully gained nothing and could only watch enviously, while striving to blend in.

Luo Shiqi also recognized the situation but was in disarray mentally, unable to calm down, thus merely watching them, his eyes constantly shifting.

After an unknown duration, someone beside him let out a soft breath; it was Luo Yuanwu, finished with his deduction, slowly opening his eyes that held a trace of... puzzlement?

A couple of seconds later, his gaze cleared and refocused, turning to Luo Shiqi, "Grand Elder..."

"No rush," Luo Shiqi transmitted a thought, then spoke softly, "The two True Sages and Mountain Master Feng are in the process of enlightenment; everyone step back a bit, and help protect them."

Although the three weren’t deeply immersed in enlightenment such that external forces would trigger immediate reactions, having guardians allowed their enlightenment to last longer—a gesture of goodwill.

The Luo Family members moved a distance away, while Luo Shiqi transmitted another thought to Luo Yuanwu, "What do you want to say?"

"I want to say..." Luo Yuanwu also replied via thought, his fluctuations likely detectable by the two True Sages, but it would be reasonable to assume that the Luo Family members were using thoughts to avoid influencing the True Sages.

After some hesitation, Luo Yuanwu expressed his thought, "I believe... the Six Pillar Sky Deceiving Formation... might actually be left by our Luo family ancestors."

"Hmm?" Luo Shiqi didn’t reprimand him, asking with interest instead, "What makes you feel that way?"

"Bloodline, perhaps," Luo Yuanwu answered uncertainly, "After some deduction, I felt an odd emotional fluctuation somewhere between joy and sorrow, sensing a connection with our family... Though it might be my lacking ability leading to erroneous perception."

Luo Shiqi remained silent for quite a while before letting out a soft sigh, "Well, you’re undoubtedly the most potential-laden descendant of the Luo family... that feeling you have, I experience it too."

"What?" Luo Yuanwu was so startled he almost spoke aloud, "If that’s truly the case, then what should we do?"

At this moment, he felt the Luo family was deeply wronged, convinced the clan had never known it had an ancient formation left behind here.
