Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1667: Chapter 880: Righteous Path

”We can’t escape, send out the signal for reinforcements, each of us request support from our sects, let’s unite and buy time for our own preservation!” Great Cultivator Shen Ze saw Li Shiming retrieving the spoils and looked towards them, transmitting to the two Righteous Path Great Cultivators.

They all witnessed the previous slaying of Great Cultivator Zongjing.

The White Bone of Great Cultivator Zongjing, which is the White Bone Technique of the Bone Sect, moved faster than a Peak Great Cultivator’s flying speed, yet even at that speed, it was easily caught up and slain by Li Shiming.

The three Righteous Path Great Cultivators, wounded as they were, had very little chance of escaping Li Shiming’s grasp using flying speed.

Rather than being slain one by one effortlessly by Li Shiming, it was more practical to unite together, defending against Li Shiming’s assault, while waiting for rescue.

Unlike Demon Cultivators, who cannot trust each other, they felt confident in their mutual trust, so they immediately stuck together after reaching an agreement.

The three Righteous Path Great Cultivators did not flee; instead, they gathered together, which took Li Shiming by surprise.

This made him less eager to launch an attack and instead observed the three Righteous Path Great Cultivators, while using the analyses from IBMz15 to decide the next move.

Great Cultivator Shen Ze released his treasured realm, a wave of water spread from it, enveloping the three Great Cultivators, forming a defensive shield.

Great Cultivator Liao Yi took out a chessboard, but one corner was broken, giving the chessboard a ragged appearance.

Due to experiences in the Divine Palace, this life treasure of his suffered damage, although life treasures can recover by absorbing energy within the body, the time had been too short for significant repair.

To enhance the defensive power of this damaged treasure, he took out two boxes of black and white chess pieces.

The chessboard flashed with light, manifesting a luminous chessboard illusion in the void, and then two boxes of black and white chess pieces fell onto the chessboard illusion.

As the chess pieces landed onto the chessboard illusion, a solid palace surrounded the three Righteous Path Great Cultivators, safeguarding them within.

Another Great Cultivator, Ji Chuan, released his Nascent Soul, which held a small scarlet flying sword, purple clouds swirling around the Nascent Soul’s body, while one force suppressed and another fiery force acted upon the scarlet flying sword.

The three Righteous Path Great Cultivators were prepared defensively, just waiting for Li Shiming’s attack to arrive.

”Such a waste!” Li Shiming shook his head as he looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard.

Each black and white chess piece was made of top quality Fourth Grade black and white jade, and these chess pieces weren’t crafted within the last few thousand years, based on his observations, they have been nurtured in some super formation for at least thousands of years.

Utilizing the formation energy of the super formation, these black and white chess pieces transformed into the highest quality formation bases, and they are the type that can change at will, serving as the basis for most formations.

Even in Li Shiming’s hands, he didn’t possess formation materials of such quality, even the hundred and eight Buddha Beads lacked this nurturing process over thousands of years.

For an Array Master, this gap greatly impacts the quality of the formations arranged.

If these black and white chess pieces were in Li Shiming’s hands, he could arrange a formation that could withstand a Peak Great Cultivator for a period of time.

If there was a powerful spirit vein, he could even arrange a formation rivaling the partial might of a super power’s great formation.

As for Great Cultivator Liao Yi’s array techniques, Li Shiming didn’t think highly of them.

Using the scans from IBMz15, especially since Great Cultivator Liao Yi arranged his formation during battle, the entire process unfolded before Li Shiming’s eyes, such techniques might hold against a cultivator of modest array knowledge.

But doing so before Li Shiming was like handing him the formation diagram directly.

IBMz15 analyzed the formation thoroughly, leaving no secrets in front of him.

Under the protection of the water curtain shield from the treasure mirror and the palace formed by the array, Great Cultivator Ji Chuan’s flying sword was poised to strike, an otherwise threatening attack.

Yet under Li Shiming’s ’Divine Sight’, Great Cultivator Liao Yi’s formation couldn’t block his view, and the water curtain shield was likewise pierced by ’Divine Sight’, which allowed him to see Great Cultivator Ji Chuan’s flying sword.

This flying sword held by Great Cultivator Ji Chuan was in a strange state, giving Li Shiming the sense of an arrow ready to unleash.

He was almost certain that once he attacked, if he revealed any flaw, Great Cultivator Ji Chuan would launch a flying sword attack.

Li Shiming coldly smiled, this time he activated forty brains; he didn’t plan to delay further.

Judging by the three Righteous Path Great Cultivators’ all-out defense, they were surely waiting for reinforcements.

Forty brains simultaneously performed ’Thunder Cloud Skill’, a spell for area-based lightning attacks, despite having a longer preparation time, in terms of both power and range, it is a top choice among Thunder Skills.

Great Cultivator Shen Ze mobilized the spiritual power within, continuously reinforcing the treasure mirror to strengthen the water curtain shield.

When he saw thunder clouds forming in the sky, he immediately recognized it as the Thunder Cultivator’s ’Thunder Cloud Skill’.

Thunder Cultivators typically have simplistic attack methods, single-target attacks are ’Thunder Fall Skill’, group attacks are ’Thunder Cloud Skill’, although there are other thunder skills, the majority of Thunder Cultivators normally use just these two skills which are sufficient.
