Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 1665 - 879: The Demonic Path
The three Righteous Path Great Cultivators ultimately let greed overshadow caution. They quickly reached a consensus to go together to seize the Heavenly Mechanism Treasure.
As they headed in the direction of the treasure’s aura, they saw three Devil Cultivators in a standoff with Li Shiming. They stayed afar, planning to let these two parties clash first, so it would be easier for them to obtain the Heavenly Mechanism Treasure.
They all had injuries, limiting the combat power they could exert.
In their current state, they couldn’t directly fight the three Peak Great Cultivators and Li Shiming. They were also aware of Li Shiming’s strength. Even if the three Peak Great Cultivators teamed up against him, they couldn’t defeat Li Shiming without a cost.
Once the three Devil Cultivators and Li Shiming decided the victor, they would have a chance to reap benefits despite their injuries.
The three Devil Cultivators suddenly appeared, forming a triangular encirclement around him, which surprised Li Shiming.
The Peak Great Cultivator level Devil Cultivators might not have the ability for space movement like the Divine Foot Skill, but they did have certain special techniques for short distances.
Like now, Li Shiming was waiting in place, ready to meet the Peak Great Cultivators who would explore together.
When he was outside the Divine Palace, he realized he wasn’t in the Cultivation World he knew.
He was above an ocean. While an ocean is much the same anywhere, the Spiritual Energy here was different from the Cultivation World he knew.
After reaching the Great Cultivator Realm, his sensitivity to Spiritual Energy increased significantly.
Spiritual Energy varies in density but also has its unique characteristics. Like the Spiritual Energy within a Grotto Heaven, dense or not, it’s different from that of another Grotto Heaven.
Just by carefully sensing it, Li Shiming noticed the difference in the Spiritual Energy here.
He knew he had come to an unknown land where cultivators lived. Considering he might stay here for up to twenty years, he needed to acquaint himself with some local cultivators to explore this world.
The six Peak Great Cultivators who fought alongside him in the Divine Palace were the best opportunities to get acquainted.
But he hadn’t anticipated the trouble his inadvertent explorations of the Divine Beast Garden and Heavenly Mechanism Garden had brought to the other six Peak Great Cultivators.
So when he wanted to make friends with other Peak Great Cultivators, three Devil Cultivators used a Secret Technique to encircle him.
The three Devil Cultivators hadn’t lost much combat power. Once appearing, they exerted their strongest combat power to the fullest.
Grandmaster Leng Hong wielded a treasured fan, waving it towards Li Shiming, sending a chilling gale towards him.
Great Cultivator Zongjing’s body separated again into white bones. This time, his fleshly body held a Bone Sword, and so did the white bones, which brandished the Bone Sword towards Li Shiming while the fleshly body wielded the Bone Sword to form a white mist barrier on this side.
Master Qiu Zhi took out a Jade Flute, stood in the void, and started playing it.
The chilling gale, sword-wielding white bones, and sound wave attack were attacks at a Peak Great Cultivator Level, attacking Li Shiming from three sides simultaneously.
As a Devil Cultivator’s ability, any of the three attacks landing on Li Shiming would have dire consequences.
There’s no way Li Shiming would let them hit him. However, even with his strong defensive power, he had to carefully handle the attacks from Peak Great Cultivators.
He chose ’So Close, Yet Worlds Apart’ and flashed out of the encirclement of the three great devil cultivators.
It’s laughable to encircle a Great Cultivator who mastered space movement.
Li Shiming reappeared, and with a wave of his hand, the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ combined with the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ unleashed fifteen ’Thunder Fall Skills’, each controlled by fifteen brains, targeting the three Devil Cultivators separately.
The three Devil Cultivators were quite surprised that Li Shiming escaped easily, and that it was through Space Divine Power.
Their mistake cost them the initiative, forcing them to go on the defensive against Li Shiming’s ’Thunder Fall Skill’.
The treasured fan waved continuously, creating gusts of chilling wind in front of Grandmaster Leng Hong.
The speed of Great Cultivator Zongjing’s white bones was terrifyingly swift. Initially pouncing on Li Shiming, they returned almost instantly after he vanished and reappeared, shielding against the ’Thunder Fall Skill’.
Master Qiu Zhi’s defense was somewhat normal. He took out a silk scarf, which flew above his head to block the ’Thunder Fall Skill’.
Li Shiming was secretly startled. He had already noticed three Righteous Path Great Cultivators in the distance, and even after leveraging fifteen brains for the attack, he couldn’t gain much advantage.
Little did he know, these powerful sects’ Peak Great Cultivators had long mastered methods to counter Thunder Cultivators or other formidable classes.
These were the distilled experiences of countless years from the sect elders, coupled with the fact that any cultivator who reached the Peak Great Cultivator level had rich combat experience, including battling Thunder Cultivators.
Li Shiming didn’t plan to delay any further. Once the six Peak Great Cultivators joined forces, he would have to flee.
He didn’t have many techniques left to use at this moment, especially without exposing the existence of his spiritual treasure.
Truly, if he exposed the existence of the Spiritual Jade Spring Eye in such an unfamiliar place, he would have to spend the next twenty years hiding in the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven.
