Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1020: Chapter 556: Discovery (Part 2)

The two Great Cultivators were engaged in close combat, unleashing a full-force strike that gathered the abilities of their Spiritual Pets. Although twelve ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ blocked part of it, the remaining power shattered Great Cultivator Zhao’s Nascent Soul Dharma Form.

”Pursue!” How could the two Great Cultivators let Great Cultivator Zhao escape so easily? They followed closely behind in pursuit.

The twelve ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ enveloped Great Cultivator Zhao and suddenly plunged into the sea. Once in the water, they performed Water Escape, and countless water escape trails scattered in the ocean.

Each Water Escape trail seemed as if Great Cultivator Zhao himself was within. This life-preserving Secret Technique left Grandmaster Hu and Master Ding momentarily stunned. By the time they used Divine Sense to discern Great Cultivator Zhao’s escape direction, it was too late.

”Damn it, had it been on land, Zhao Qingfeng would have been dead!” Master Ding said in frustration.

Such a great opportunity to defeat Zhao, even while fighting two against one, they still couldn’t manage to capture Great Cultivator Zhao.

”It’s actually quite impressive that we heavily injured Zhao Qingfeng. Zhao Qingfeng won’t recover without three hundred years of hard cultivation, and he won’t be able to partake in future battles!” Grandmaster Hu said with a smile.

Leaving behind a Great Cultivator is not so easy. Even with the two Great Cultivators giving their all, they only managed to severely injure their opponent.

Every Great Cultivator has their unique encounters, and many life-preserving methods.

Had it not been for Gu Feng Sect’s lack of understanding of Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s techniques, allowing the two Great Cultivators to successfully launch a surprise attack using the Spiritual Pet fusion Secret Technique, the battle might not have ended so easily in victory.

”Those ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ are truly terrifying. I wonder how many ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ Gu Feng Sect actually has?” Master Ding wondered about the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects,’ expressing amazement.

Although the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ didn’t display much capability during the battle, it was vital to consider that they were up against the Great Cultivators of Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Ten Thousand Beast Sect has detailed records on the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects,’ and upon seeing them, the two Great Cultivators had ways to counter them.

If one didn’t understand the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ and allowed them close for an attack, the trouble would be considerable.

Even so, the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ defensive power blocked most of their attacks; otherwise, the two Great Cultivators executing full force surprise strikes at close range would have left Great Cultivator Zhao without the strength to escape.

”Cultivating the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ must be challenging; Zhao Qingfeng has only twelve!” Grandmaster Hu shook his head and remarked.

”Return now; this time we have suppressed Gu Feng Sect’s arrogance. They should behave for a while!” Master Ding said in a deep voice.

The two Great Cultivators returned to the location of Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s fellow cultivators and put away their Spiritual Pets.

The cultivators congratulated the two Great Cultivators as they led them to a significant victory, most importantly without any losses.

”Double rewards for the participating cultivators in this mission!” Master Ding and Grandmaster Hu exchanged views; then Master Ding loudly announced.

The cultivators cheered; the ’War Decree’ rewards were already generous, and doubling them excited everyone.

”Sect mandates a pursuit order, killing Gu Feng Sect’s cultivators earns contribution points!” Master Ding continued to announce.

Li Shiming also saw the new task in his Identity Jade Disc; the mission to hunt Gu Feng Sect’s cultivators was marked prominently.

It’s an opportunity to strike Gu Feng Sect heavily while their overall strength declines, causing them more losses.

The events on Purple Leaf Island haven’t spread widely; many Gu Feng Sect cultivators aren’t even aware of the situation. This information gap is the perfect time to amplify their victory.

The Nascent Soul Cultivators that came this time began forming teams and taking pursuit tasks, directly leaving the group.

”Shizhen, you shouldn’t take pursuit tasks, quickly return to the sect!” Grandmaster Hu instructed Li Shiming.

Although Gu Feng Sect suffered severe losses, they were not without the ability to retaliate.

Gu Feng Sect still has a Great Cultivator, besides, there are quite a few Nascent Soul Cultivators from Gu Feng Sect. The two Great Cultivators have to stay in the area to prevent any action from Gu Feng Sect’s Great Cultivator.

Even twenty-one War Flying Boats will follow the two Great Cultivators to act together, offering support to sect cultivators in battle against Gu Feng Sect.

”I will head back to the sect now!” Li Shiming indeed did not wish to participate in combat; this experience showed him his own insignificance.

He originally thought that having the power to suppress ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners would give him self-preservation, but today he realized that even a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator lacks self-preservation abilities in front of Great Cultivators.

He bid farewell to his mentor and flew towards the land.

His inherited magical artifact IBMz15 continuously replayed the recent battle scene, analyzing the confrontation process, hoping to gain some insight.

Li Shiming wasn’t in a hurry; he flew leisurely while viewing IBMz15’s analysis process.

This sea area is extremely safe, being the rear of Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s battle line; flying over the sea to the land would be even safer.

”Huh!” His ’Divine Eye Skill’ spotted a silver dot on the mountain slope over two thousand miles away.

Ordinary cultivators, even with ’Divine Eye Skill,’ wouldn’t pay much attention upon seeing a flashed and disappeared silver spot.

But Li Shiming was different; he retrieved the IBMz15 recorded footage to replay.

All scenes he observed through ’Divine Eye Skill’ get recorded as temporary video files by IBMz15.

These scenes are kept for ten days, and after ten days, they are replaced automatically with new scenes.

It’s not that he didn’t want to preserve videos for longer, but IBMz15 had numerous tasks, occupying a large storage space. Keeping ten days of footage doesn’t affect IBMz15’s storage usage.

He extracted the recorded silver dot from IBMz15’s temporary video files and started zooming in.

When Li Shiming saw the silver dot, he had an inexplicable feeling; upon seeing the zoomed-in image, he understood where that feeling came from.

Because the silver dot turned out to be a ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect,’ the very same belonging to Great Cultivator Zhao.

”Why is the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect’ here?” He was incredibly surprised.

According to Grandmaster Hu, Great Cultivator Zhao Qingfeng’s injuries were very severe, requiring at least three hundred years to recover.

Normally, Great Cultivator Zhao should immediately seek another Gu Feng Sect’s Great Cultivator for protection, ensuring he returns to the sect.

The sect of Gu Feng Sect is located in South Zhao Continent, across a perilous ocean, and an injured Great Cultivator Zhao couldn’t cross the ocean alone.

Li Shiming delved into contemplation, considering whether to report the discovery to the sect.

”Why not probe a little first?” He hesitated for a moment, then had an idea.

He wasn’t going to recklessly approach the mountain peak; instead, he stayed three hundred miles away.

He may not know the maximum attack range of a Great Cultivator but was sure the distance was safe.

With his ’Divine Eye Skill,’ the drone satellite system had increased focus on this area. If Great Cultivator Zhao appears, he would surely be able to detect it first-hand.

Using his Divine Foot Skill, with ’A Moment In Miles,’ as long as there’s enough distance, he can completely escape from the hands of a Great Cultivator.

From a Mustard Seed Ring in the engine room space, he took out a product of his previous research and made some modifications before taking it out.

This was a tracked robot, without using any cultivation techniques, solely relying on past life technology.

The tracked robot was carried by a drone towards the mountain peak.

As it neared the peak, the drone set the tracked robot down, and it landed at the foot of the mountain.
