Cultivation is just so scientific!

Elder Yin walked into Li Shiming's cave dwelling with a faint smile on his face.

Li Shiming placed a cup of Spiritual Tea in front of Elder Yin. Since he did not cultivate Spirit Fruits, he could only serve Spiritual Tea to his guests.

"Shiming, please sit down," Elder Yin said, waving his hand.

Li Shiming sat opposite Elder Yin, his demeanor very respectful.

"The last time I sent you to participate in the contest with Beishu, I was unaware. Otherwise, I would never have let you join such a duel. Those old fellows didn't send their own descendants; why should you participate!" Elder Yin began by explaining.

His words warmed Li Shiming's heart. No matter what, Elder Yin was a Golden Core Elder, and explaining himself was an attitude that regarded Li Shiming as a true junior.

Li Shiming sensed a feeling of inclusiveness from Elder Yin, unlike the slight repulsion during their previous meetings. In this regard, Li Shiming was extremely sensitive.

"Before you participated in the Beishu contest, I had left the sect to find Lan'er's teacher. I recently got in touch with Lan'er's teacher, and there are some matters I need to clarify with you!" Elder Yin said solemnly.

Li Shiming straightened up, his eyes fixed on Elder Yin, understanding that this must be of great importance, or else Elder Yin would not have come in person.

"I have received more intelligence about Beishu from Lan'er's teacher. To be honest with you, all the cultivators that came from Beishu are waiting; the Beishu Mingxin Sect has a False Infant presence. Currently, the False Infant Ancestor is still in Beishu fighting against the Senluo Sect, buying time for the sect to safely withdraw.

If the False Infant Ancestor falls, the Beishu Mingxin Sect's invasion of the Seven Sects will be interrupted, and Mingxin Sect will definitely not initiate a war they cannot win.

Once the False Infant Ancestor arrives, the Seven Sects will not resist, either the sect will dissolve, or they must find a new location!" Elder Yin said with a grave tone. Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire

Li Shiming was startled, not having expected Elder Yin to specifically come to him with this information, to know such news, let alone he, even the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the sect probably did not qualify to know.

"Is the False Infant Ancestor very strong?" he asked, somewhat puzzled.

"A False Infant uses a special Secret Technique to forcibly break through from Golden Core to Infant, without any space for further growth and a much shorter lifespan than Nascent Soul Cultivators. Therefore, it can't be considered a true Nascent Soul Cultivator, but in terms of strength, it's only slightly weaker than a true Nascent Soul Cultivator but far stronger than us Golden Cores, similar to the gap between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement," Elder Yin explained.

Now Li Shiming truly understood the strength of a False Infant. No wonder the Golden Core Elders of the Seven Sects would instantly give up fighting.

"Don't think we don't want to resist; it's just meaningless. The might of a False Infant Cultivator isn't something the Seven Sects can withstand. Currently, both the Seven Sects and the Mingxin Sect are waiting for the final outcome.

The sect also has some plans for potential cultivators, planning to send some potential cultivators early to another location that's across the sea from here, which has a good spirit vein. There, they can still hold on for a period," Elder Yin said, looking at Li Shiming.

"Uncle Yin, I don't want to go there!" Li Shiming shook his head. He didn't have much sense of belonging to the sect, especially now that the sect's help in his cultivation was diminishing.

After losing the protection of the sect for a long period, the Heavenly Sea Sect was somewhat optional for him.

This was under the condition that he had a main cultivation technique; he also had a considerable accumulation of Spirit Stones, which meant he could live comfortably throughout the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Of course, he still needed the sect when he wanted to advance to the higher Golden Core Stage; without the sect's support, he probably couldn't even access third-grade materials.

But he believed that once the Heavenly Sea Sect lost its headquarters, it could no longer sustain the cultivation expenditures for Golden Cores.

Furthermore, moving to another location was not risk-free. Once the Mingxin Sect completely controlled this region, how could it tolerate the presence of any other forces?

"If it weren't for the strength you demonstrated in the previous contest, I would have considered including you in the relocation plan. Now, I am giving you another option!" Elder Yin said with a helpless smile.

He knew that Li Shiming had issues with some factions within the sect, the internal power struggle in the sect diminished Li Shiming's sense of belonging to the sect.

Li Shiming's choice did not surprise him; even as a Golden Core Elder of the sect, he was powerless against the internal factions' struggles.

But all this became irrelevant. Once they really had to evacuate, those factions would immediately crumble, not worth mentioning.

"Please speak, Uncle Yin!" Li Shiming said, knowing that Elder Yin was about to reveal the main focus of this meeting.

"Lan'er's teacher is a Golden Core Array Master from the Thousand Illusion Sect of Beishu. She came here for a treasure in Beihai. Due to the invasion by the Mingxin Sect, she does not wish to get involved in the conflicts, so her intention is to take Lan'er to join the Thousand Illusion Sect..." Elder Yin paused upon seeing Li Shiming's expression change.

Li Shiming felt a deep conflict within. It was good news that Shilan had a better future ahead.

However, if Shilan went to Beishu, he might never see her again, and that was something he could not accept.

"With your three Spirit Roots, even as an Intermediate Array Master, you cannot meet the conditions to join the Thousand Illusion Sect. However, your understanding of Sword Intent has given you a chance. As long as Lan'er's teacher agrees, you can become an ordinary disciple of the Thousand Illusion Sect!" Elder Yin continued.
