Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 207: Chapter 150 Counterattack (Added for book friend 171021102948988)

The Ten Thousand Buddha Sect’s purification, the Xuanming Sect’s poison, and the Demon Spirit Sect’s curse were inherently incompatible attributes, yet the Golden Cores of the seven major sects had guarded Seven Star Island for many years and were extremely familiar with each other’s capabilities.

To reduce losses as much as possible, based on their different characteristics, they had devised a combined technique.

This combined technique was originally meant to combat Golden Core sea beasts; when a sea beast reached the Golden Core stage, its destructive power was extremely terrifying, not something any Golden Core cultivator could face alone.

At the same time, the defensive power of the Golden Core sea beasts was astonishing; spirit beasts naturally exceed cultivators in defensive power, and the Golden Core sea beasts were no exception.

In the combined technique of the seven great sects, besides the Sky Sea Sect, Jinghong Sect, Shuiyun Sect, and Holy Ice Sect launching their strongest attacks with various attributes, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect’s purification would first resolve the enemy’s resistance to poison and curse.

Afterward, the Xuanming Sect’s poison and the Demon Spirit Sect’s curse would cause even greater destruction, and the continued effect of purification from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect would dissolve the enemy’s resistance, enhancing the effect of the poison and curse.

Yun Xingyi was very unlucky to be struck by this combined technique, meant for Golden Core sea beasts, and his body was continuously tormented by the poison and curse after his escape.

If he weren’t at his wit’s end, he would not have considered the matter of body seizing.

The Guiyi Sword lay in front of Li Shiming’s chest; as the energy from the Guiyi Sword continuously entered his body, he felt less and less estranged from it.

What he didn’t know was that this was a kind of transference secret technique, transferring the recognition of one’s lifebound treasure to another body.

A lifebound treasure has much more power than an ordinary treasure, but it also has a characteristic: once the lifebound treasure leaves its original owner, its power will greatly diminish, losing almost half of its force.

For someone like Yun Xingyi engaging in body seizing, although his soul hadn’t changed, he still allowed his lifebound treasure to accept control of this new body to reduce the time needed for the body to adapt and for self-preservation immediately after the seizing.

He was nearly at the end of his tether at this moment, but compared to after the body seizing, his strength was still far beyond what it would be post-seizure.

Therefore, before the body seizing, he had to prepare everything as perfectly as possible.

Getting the lifebound Guiyi Sword to merge with this body was a crucial step; in case he hadn’t recovered his strength after the seizing, he could still call upon some of the Guiyi Sword’s power, enough to have some means for self-preservation.

“This is the Sword Bone, two hundred years of time condensed into this bone; of course, it must be transferred to the new body!” As Yun Xingyi spoke, his right thumb turned into a sharp qi, and a section of bone burst out.

Li Shiming had no idea what a Sword Bone was, but he watched as Yun Xingyi placed that section of bone on his right thumb.

A tearing sensation came from his right hand, and the bone merged into his thumb, replacing the original one.

“I’m ready to begin. What a pity for this body that I’ve cultivated for three hundred years. Those seven Golden Cores, I will kill them one by one, and their sects will be annihilated by my hands as well!” At this point, Yun Xingyi still expressed some reluctance.

Reaching the Golden Core Stage, the dangers and difficulties one encounters are unimaginable.

Giving up one’s original body is a difficult choice, even though he knew there was no other option, he still held reluctance.

“Kid, you’ve always been very calm; I really admire you, truly, even if I were in such a situation, it would be hard to maintain your composure,” Yun Xingyi suddenly laughed out loud.

Li Shiming’s heart startled; had Yun Xingyi perceived something amiss?

“I don’t care what kind of backup plan you have, but you’re going to be disappointed. I’ve encountered countless cunning adversaries, all of them deemed unparalleled in scheming, but in the end, they all fell at my hands. Let me tell you something, never underestimate any cultivator who has lived over three hundred years!” Yun Xingyi said with a laugh as he spat out a golden bead covered in cracks.

When the golden bead fell onto Li Shiming, he felt an even stronger sense of oppression, to the point it slowed his very thoughts.

“With the Golden Core suppressing you, let’s see what you can do!” Yun Xingyi continued talking to himself.

From the moment he captured Li Shiming, Yun Xingyi had noticed something special about him.

Even after learning he was going to be subjected to body seizing, Li Shiming’s reaction was very placid.

The only possibility was that Li Shiming had some sort of countermeasure, capable of striking back when his guard was down.

And when would his guard be down? It would be during the process of body seizing, when his soul needed to transition, and there would be a moment when he would let go of his control over Li Shiming.

Of course, Yun Xingyi had other methods of controlling Li Shiming, such as Formations, but when examining Li Shiming, he discovered Li Shiming’s Formation Array Starlight Sea.

Using a Formation to bind a High-level Array Master was extremely dangerous. Yun Xingyi still regretted the already perfected and smoothly operating Array Formation Starlight Sea; after the seizing, there was basically no hope of keeping the Starlight Sea intact.

To control Li Shiming with absolute certainty, Yun Xingyi chose the Golden Core, his most reliable tool.

The presence of the Golden Core, let alone a Qi Refining cultivator like Li Shiming, could completely suppress even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, leaving them unable to resist.

Yun Xingyi took off all the clothes from his body, then stripped Li Shiming as well. He took out a pen made from some unknown material, dipped it in his own blood, and began to draw numerous runes on his body.
