Chapter 591: Chapter 342: Tracking
Within the three Corpse Refining Arrays, three completely charred corpses lay immobile.
Their master, Li Shiming, was Baili away, yet his face was adorned with a look of surprise.
The Golden Core Thunder Tribulation had passed, and although the three corpses appeared pitiable, significant changes were occurring within their bodies.
As their master, Li Shiming sensed that all three corpses were alive.
It seemed that the vast resources he had consumed had not been wasted, as he now had the power of three Silver Corpses.
One of the corpses twitched slightly, and as it moved, the charred exterior fell away, revealing the silver skin beneath.
The other two corpses also began to move, their bodies flickering with silver light.
Inside them, the Corpse Pill formed, becoming their new source of power.
They stood up, waved their hands over the ground to gather the materials used for the formation, and then soared into the air.
Flying had become an instinct for the Silver Corpses, and their speed had greatly increased.
Li Shiming was now certain that Patriarch Weng Zhao had no intention of returning. He gathered the formation beside him and flew to meet the three Silver Corpses.
He took the three Silver Corpses into the Corpse Refining Space where the three Silver Corpses could stabilize their realms.
He couldn’t stay here anymore. When Patriarch Weng Zhao had revealed his Nascent Soul Aura earlier, Li Shiming had also sensed that terrifying aura.
It seemed that the six major sects had already discovered Patriarch Weng Zhao’s whereabouts. Regardless of whether Patriarch Weng Zhao was still there, the six major sects would send cultivators to check.
Lotuses appeared beneath Li Shiming’s feet, and he vanished from the spot, reappearing within a shadow.
The “Charming Soul Concealing Secret Technique” activated, and he became invisible within the shadow, even the lotuses beneath his feet disappearing.
Remaining invisible within various shadows, he used “Step by Step Lotus” to follow the direction Patriarch Weng Zhao had left in.
He dared not get too close. He maintained a distance of several hundred Baili from Patriarch Weng Zhao, never once looking in his direction, and his mind was also empty, refusing to think about Patriarch Weng Zhao.
This time, Patriarch Weng Zhao flew a full ten thousand Baili before finding a temporary place to stay.
Instead of choosing a peak, he sat cross-legged within a Fourth Grade Plate Array he had set up on a flat ground, without even digging out a cave dwelling.
He did not immediately commence healing, not wanting to experience another interruption during the process.
Feeling the injuries within his body, he looked at his resources with some helplessness.
As a Nascent Soul Ancestor, he had prepared two Fourth-Grade Healing Spirit Pills for emergencies, never actually expecting to use them one day.
He was very confident in his strength. Even if he couldn’t defeat an opponent, a Nascent Soul Ancestor who wanted to flee would be unstoppable by anyone.
Yet this time, he was injured. After taking one Fourth-Grade Healing Spirit Pill, he thought his condition would improve.
But due to the healing process being disturbed, the effect of that Fourth-Grade Healing Spirit Pill was not as good as he had initially assessed, and now only one pill remained while his injuries were far from what a single Fourth-Grade Healing Spirit Pill could heal.
He needed Fourth-Grade healing resources, a safe environment with a Nascent Soul Level Spirit Vein, and an undisturbed retreat.
In the past, such requirements were easily met. As a Supreme Minister of Skywalk Trading Company, he had the authority to utilize some resources of the company, and Fourth-Grade resources were prioritized for him.
Now, such ordinary requirements had become a luxury.
Patriarch Weng Zhao waited for two hours, but found no signs of an attack, and he let out a sigh of relief.
He took the last Fourth-Grade Healing Spirit Pill, began to operate his Cultivation Technique to more quickly distribute the medicinal power throughout his body, and simultaneously mediated his Spiritual Power to heal the injuries.
Since there was no Nascent Soul Level Spirit Vein, he was using entirely the energy of the Fourth-Grade Healing Spirit Pill and his own Spiritual Power. Such healing actually weakened his own strength, but he had to do it to treat his injuries.
Li Shiming still stopped Baili away from Patriarch Weng Zhao, setting up the same arrangement again.
The three Iron Corpses were also of peak-level, Three-headed and Six-armed Iron Corpses. Holding three storage bags, they rushed to a position thirty Baili from Patriarch Weng Zhao.
The Iron Corpses took out cannons, adjusting the firing data calculated by their life-bound treasure, IBMz15.
The life-bound treasure IBMz15 created a dossier for Patriarch Weng Zhao, which contained all information about Patriarch Weng Zhao.
This information dated to the first time Patriarch Weng Zhao was surveilled, with all his behavior and gathered details recorded.
Particularly, the analysis of Patriarch Weng Zhao’s psychological activities was the most critical.
Because of this dossier, Li Shiming did not launch an attack immediately, but waited until the life-bound treasure IBMz15 indicated the optimal time to strike.
After Patriarch Weng Zhao had stopped for two hours, Li Shiming commanded the three Iron Corpses to bombard his location.
Patriarch Weng Zhao, who was in the middle of his healing process, still kept part of his awareness on the outside world.
He did this only because he was in an unsafe place.
To facilitate healing to the utmost, it would be best to devote all his attention to the process, achieving the best healing effect.
Not just for healing, but even during regular cultivation, a cultivator needs to focus completely. Any distraction would affect the cultivation results.
