Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 156 - 124 Tracking_2
Chapter 156: Chapter 124 Tracking_2
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator was none other than Wei Yun, and he was here waiting for the report of two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
But unexpectedly, the two cultivators failed their mission, and knowing that the Array Breaking Talisman was ineffective, Wei Yun understood that he must report this matter to his master.
Although he might get punished by the master, the trouble of concealing this issue was even greater.
As for the two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, he couldn’t care about them anymore, whether they were dead or alive would be up to his master’s decision.
Li Shiming wanted to leave, but felt somewhat reluctant; he was growing more and more curious, just who was this force that targeted him?
Was it the Xuanming Sect? Or had he been exposed somewhere recently and caught the attention of the Holy Ice Sect?
Or perhaps some faction within the sect wanted to grab wealth, knowing that he had a large amount of Spirit Stones on hand?
In truth, his affairs were quite numerous; he had killed Baili Jin Yan, the genius of the Holy Ice Sect, repelled the cultivators of the Xuanming Sect in Nanshan Country, and then caused a ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View’ incident within the Sky Sea Sect, obtaining a huge amount of Spirit Stones.
Any one of these incidents was enough for the various powers to make a move against him, and he needed to determine specifically which faction wanted to deal with him.
Moreover, based on his assessment of the island, there were no spiritual veins, meaning the island couldn’t possibly support the cultivation needs of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, let alone those at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
So, the probability of another Foundation Establishment Cultivator being present after one had left was extremely low.
The Formation on the small island was quite ingenious, but after analyzing with the IBM z15, a pattern in the Spiritual Power flow was still detected.
Li Shiming’s Spiritual Thought successfully infiltrated the Formation, and entering through a hidden entrance concealed by the Formation, he found himself inside a cave dwelling.
Inside the cave dwelling, sat two cultivators with grim faces, sitting in meditation across from each other, seemingly waiting for judgment.
They were indeed awaiting judgment; despite the unintentional mistake, they had indeed deceived Elder Baili.
And their attempt to rectify the mistake had failed, leaving them to face Elder Baili’s disposition.
Li Shiming re-assessed their realms, just as he had observed before, one was a Qi Refining Seventh Level and the other, a Qi Refining Eighth Layer.
He didn’t find the presence of other cultivators, and there were other rooms inside the cave dwelling, but no auras emanated from them.

Spiritual Thought was extremely sensitive to auras, at this range, unless someone used a Secret Technique to intentionally conceal themselves, they would be detected by Spiritual Thought.
This made him less hesitant, he wanted to test whether the Mid Grade Magical Artifact Gatling, made from ten thousand Spirit Stones, could really suppress a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.
The two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in front of him were the perfect test subjects, and coincidentally, another one of his plans also required the corpses of two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
Without further hesitation, Li Shiming operated on the Spiritual Power circuits of the Formation and opened an entrance through which he could enter.
The two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators were alerted, and both looked towards the direction of the entrance, thinking it was cultivators from the Holy Ice Sect arriving.
No wonder they were not vigilant, this place had special Formations set up by the Holy Ice Sect for protection, and with sufficient concealment, it was intended as a long-term stronghold.
Those who could enter freely from outside the Formation were naturally the cultivators of the Holy Ice Sect who were given the authority to control the Formation.
They saw a copper corpse holding a peculiar six-barreled Mid Grade Magical Artifact in its left hand.
“Enemy attack!” Both late-stage Qi Refining cultivators realized what was happening and cried out in unison.
The two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators were accustomed to completing missions together, and their coordination was extremely tacit.
The Qi Refining Seventh Level cultivator activated a top-grade shield Magic Artifact in front of him, while the Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivator’s hands flickered with cold ice energy, preparing to launch a transparent ice sword.
They reacted quickly, but the assault of the copper corpse was just as rapid.
As the copper corpse pulled the trigger, the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling fired ice crystal bullets, with 30 ice crystal bullets per second, each carrying the attack power equivalent to that of a Qi Refining Seventh Level cultivator.
The attack of the ice crystal bullets carried both the ice attribute of the bullets themselves and a strong physical impact.
“Help me!” the Qi Refining Seventh Level Cultivator cried out for help.
Just as the ice crystal bullets from the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling hit the top-grade magic shield, the Qi Refining Seventh Level Cultivator felt the strain.
He could block any one of the ice crystal bullet attacks.
But the problem was that the speed of the attack was beyond his imagination, as if thirty Qi Refining Seventh Level Cultivators were simultaneously casting ice spells against him.
In less than a second, he felt that the top-grade magic shield could not hold up any longer, and his frantic infusion of Spiritual Power was futile.
The Qi Refining Eighth Layer Cultivator immediately gave up attacking, and without defense, was he supposed to compete with the copper corpse in defensive power?
Even if he injured the copper corpse, he and his companion would be done for as well.
He pressed his hand to the top-grade magic shield, injecting even purer Spiritual Power, instantly boosting the shield’s defensive power by a layer.
What weighed heavily on their hearts was that the copper corpse’s attack maintained a steady frequency, and if this continued, their Spiritual Power was feared to be excessively depleted.
However, they didn’t believe that a copper corpse could maintain this kind of attack for a long time, it was already a miracle that it could burst out with this intensity in a short period.
They didn’t know that the true source of the terrifying high-frequency attack was not the copper corpse, but rather the unimpressive Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling in the hands of the copper corpse.
For a Cultivator, the power of a Magic Artifact is judged by its grade.
Mid-grade magic weapons are stronger than low-grade ones, and top-grade are stronger than mid-grade—this is a recognition etched in every Cultivator’s mind.
Li Shiming slowly entered the cave dwelling, dissatisfied with the performance of the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling.
Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that he had encountered elite Qi Refining disciples of the Holy Ice Sect, for the means of sect cultivators far exceeded those of Loose Cultivators, especially those elite disciples from the sects, who had all experienced life-and-death struggles.
The two late-stage Qi Refining Cultivators saw Li Shiming’s figure. This time, to make up for their previous mistake, they had carefully examined Li Shiming’s portrait and recognized him instantly.
But at this moment, they had no spare energy to question anything, as they were fully resisting the storm-like attack from the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling.
“It seems the firepower is still insufficient,” Li Shiming muttered to himself.
Do not be misled; though the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling was suppressing the two late-stage Qi Refining Cultivators, they were definitely not at their limit and still had the strength to fight back.
Li Shiming opened his mouth, and the ‘Devil Sound Lotus’ activated, with IBMz15 emitting the ‘Life-taking Buddhist Chant.’
Compared with the first time he used the ‘Life-taking Buddhist Chant’ on the ten Han Family Qi Refining Middle Stage Cultivators, this time the chant activated through the ‘Devil Sound Lotus’ was many times more powerful.
In the ‘Life-taking Buddhist Chant,’ the Buddhist essence was amplified to showcase the Buddha’s magnificence and compassion, while the demonic essence magnified the ugliness of the world. The coexistence of Buddha and demon drastically elevated each other’s powers to the extreme.
The expressions on the faces of the two late-stage Qi Refining Cultivators changed with the ‘Life-taking Buddhist Chant,’ seeming to fall into the music of the chant at any moment.
Once their minds were controlled by the ‘Life-taking Buddhist Chant,’ they would no longer have the spare energy to control the top-grade magic shield to resist the attack from the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling.
“Ice Meditation Calming Spirit!” the Qi Refining Eighth Layer Cultivator roared, a jade vial appearing in his hand. Without even looking, he poured the Elixir Pills into his mouth, and immediately the cold aura around him surged, his eyes clearing once again.
“I’ll hold them off for a moment, you kill him!” he instructed his companion through a spiritual transmission.
The Qi Refining Seventh Level Cultivator understood this was their last chance; the copper corpse was clearly Li Shiming’s. As long as they killed Li Shiming, they could resolve the current crisis.
Plus, by killing Li Shiming, they could also provide an explanation to Elder Baili.
At this point, Li Shiming was also helpless. He and IBMz15 had spent a lot of time fusing the ‘Devil’s Sound in the Ear (Fake)’ with the ‘Oral Lotus’—one demonic, one Buddhist, two sound wave techniques—into one, thinking the combined ‘Devil Sound Lotus’ would be incredibly powerful.
But the two late-stage Qi Refining Cultivators before him had severely slapped the faces of both him and IBMz15, well, if IBMz15 had a face, that is.
