Chapter 619: Chapter 356: Arrangements
Li Shiming sensed the prestige of ‘Galaxy Peak’ and couldn’t help but reveal a curious expression on his face.
He discovered that using Earth Evil Power to activate ‘Galaxy Peak’ resulted in at least 50% more power than ‘Galaxy Peak’ was supposed to exert.
Earth Evil Power combined with a mountain peak type magical treasure had such an enhancement.
Of course, the mountain peak type magical treasures also demanded a great deal of spiritual power, and with the difficult replenishment of Earth Evil Power, it would be hard for cultivators of the Earth Evil Sect to use mountain peak type magical treasures as a regular method.
Utilizing a mountain peak type magical treasure once would consume a lot of Earth Evil Power from the body.
This consumption of Earth Evil Power was determined by the amount of power one wished to exert using the mountain peak type magical treasure, but even the least amount of consumption was significantly large compared to other treasures.
As for why that Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator didn’t use ‘Galaxy Peak’ before, that was because Li Shiming simply didn’t give him the chance.
“What a pity!” Li Shiming murmured to himself.
He thought of the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure. If not for the fact that his clone, Li Yuanba, was of the metal attribute, he would have tried to capture a Golden Core cultivator from the Earth Evil Sect who practiced the ‘Earth Evil Demon Skill’ for Li Yuanba, so that Li Yuanba could also cultivate the ‘Earth Evil Demon Skill’.
If Earth Evil Power strengthened the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure, then the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure could probably suppress a Great Elder level Golden Core cultivator with one strike, truly achieving invincibility at the Golden Core stage.
Li Shiming didn’t wait for ‘Galaxy Peak’ to fall and recalled ‘Galaxy Peak’. Though he could recover Earth Evil Power on his own, he could not afford to waste too much.
His divine thought swept through the Meteor Ink Boat and found that Ren Fei’er had fallen asleep at some point.
Ren Fei’er had suffered much these days. Since entering the Earth Evil Sect, she had not had a peaceful day and was always in a state of fatigue, not to mention the recent escape from being hunted.
No sooner had she settled down and checked the spoils Li Shiming had given her than she got excited for a while and then could no longer support herself and fell asleep.
Li Shiming smiled, flicked a bit of spiritual power onto Ren Fei’er’s body, allowing her to sleep a bit longer.
He waved his hand, and Ren Fei’er was taken into the cabin space.
This was the second time he had taken Ren Fei’er into the cabin space. Apart from Ren Fei’er and except for Li Yuanba, who was part of himself and thus considered one person, no other living person had been able to enter the cabin space.
Without the burden of Ren Fei’er, he put away the Meteor Ink Boat.
With no more reservations, he deployed the ‘Charming Soul Concealing Secret Technique’, used ‘Step by Step Lotus’ to travel invisibly through various shadows, greatly increasing his speed.
Deeper into the belly of the Earth Evil Sect, he found that the further inward he went, the less the land veins were damaged.
It made sense—if the Earth Evil Sect completely neglected their territory, it would become a dead land.
Perhaps cultivators could survive in such an environment, but mortals definitely could not.
Without mortals as a foundation, how could the Earth Evil Sect continue to exist?
Golden Core cultivators could live for five hundred years, Nascent Soul cultivators even longer, but no matter how long one lived, everyone must die someday. As one generation of Golden Core and Nascent Soul passed away, a new generation of cultivators needed to replenish them.
The source of these cultivators were mortals. Mortals might seem weak, but they were the foundation of the Cultivation World.
Li Shiming estimated the distance; they were already very far from the checkpoint.
He took out a drone, which started operating and thus activated the formation. The spiritual power fluctuations of the drone became extremely subtle, and it also entered an invisible state.
Ten drones flew high into the sky, positioned at different locations, covering the entire territory of the Earth Evil Sect.
When the drones reached a predetermined altitude, one of them successfully connected to the Righteous Path’s drone satellite system. Subsequently, the other nine drones linked with this one drone and joined the drone satellite system.
Only then could he consider the mission fulfilled. He turned around and flew towards the direction of the checkpoint.
As he was about to approach within a thousand leagues of the checkpoint, he stopped.
Because the position from which he launched the drones was the closest to the checkpoint, the drone satellite system first covered the checkpoint area.
His life-bound treasure, IBMz15, through the drone satellite system, detected a figure at the checkpoint, which forced him to stop.
The figure’s face was unclear, even the imagery around their vicinity was blurred.
Considering that the camera systems of the drones had been upgraded to a very high level, the blurriness could only mean one thing—this figure was a Nascent Soul Ancestor.
Li Shiming had previously used drones to surveil a Nascent Soul Ancestor. During that great battle of Nascent Soul Ancestors, the imagery of a Nascent Soul Ancestor in the drone satellite system looked just like this.
It seemed that the force field around a Nascent Soul Ancestor was affected.
Li Shiming was not rash enough to proceed knowing there was a Nascent Soul Ancestor ahead.
Without a second thought, he turned and went in the opposite direction, staying away from the checkpoint.
The Nascent Soul Ancestor wouldn’t stay at the checkpoint forever. Once it was safe, he would leave.
During this time, he could perhaps take a good tour around the territory of the Earth Evil Sect. He took out a Spirit Pill and fed it to Ren Fei’er, who had passed out. This top-grade second-grade Spirit Pill would allow Ren Fei’er to go half a month without eating and slowly strengthen her body.
