Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 587 - 340: Trap

Li Shiming sat cross-legged inside a mountain peak about fifty miles away from the secret base of Skywalk Trading Company; it was a temporary cave dwelling he had dug out.

One hundred and eight third-grade array flags were set by him within the cave dwelling, concealing its aura.

At the moment, he was watching a live broadcast, featuring the grand battle of seven Nascent Soul Ancestors.

He witnessed the fate of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, a force that had some reputation on the Beishu Continent.

Compared to the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple on the Sky Sea Island, the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple of the Beishu Continent was significantly more powerful, not to mention the difference in size of the land they occupied.

Although there was no Venerable in the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, there were many cultivators.

Even such a force was no match in front of a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Li Shiming didn’t need to think too much, just by seeing that no cultivators were able to leave the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple from the start of the battle, and how the fire consumed the entire temple at an unimaginable speed, he could conclude that the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple had been annihilated. freeweɓnovel.cøm

During this process, aside from Patriarch Weng Zhao, no other Nascent Soul Ancestors had actually made a move against the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple; nevertheless, such a powerful force was utterly eradicated.

"This is the might of the Nascent Soul!" Although Li Shiming was not at the scene, through the drone satellite live broadcast, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

The subsequent battle was incredibly fast, the energy reactions too severe, the drone satellites couldn’t allow him to see the details of the battle.

He only knew that the six Nascent Soul Ancestors had failed to stop Patriarch Weng Zhao’s escape, which made Li Shiming scoff at the abilities of the Beishu Continent’s six Nascent Soul Ancestors.

Of course, this disdain he only showed when he was alone; he wouldn’t dare express it in front of another person.

The status of Nascent Soul Ancestors in the Beishu Continent was immensely high, elevated almost to the level of myth.

Next, he watched Patriarch Weng Zhao successfully evade Venerable Huike’s pursuit and escape far away under the helpless watch of the six Nascent Soul Ancestors.

However, as long as Patriarch Weng Zhao remained within the righteous forces’ reach, he couldn’t escape Li Shiming’s tracking.

He was already considering spreading the drone satellite system across the entire Beishu Continent in the future.

The Ten Thousand Great Mountains were somewhat manageable, but the territories of the other two Demon Sects required his personal attendance, and with great formations in place, he needed to deliver the drone satellites himself for deployment.

Patriarch Weng Zhao’s Nascent Soul returned to his body, his complexion pale, and even his figure had thinned.

The reason he looked thinner was due to internal injuries, as he had used a considerable amount of his energy to suppress his condition.

Even though he had sustained serious injuries, his face was filled with a triumphant expression.

The faces of the six Nascent Soul Ancestors must have been extremely unsightly; they almost had him trapped in a deadly siege while he was off guard, but he had managed to break free.

Even though he had paid a significant price, managing to escape from the encirclement of six Nascent Soul Ancestors was enough to make him a legend among the Nascent Soul Ancestors.

He took out a jade scroll, which contained the map of the Beishu Continent.

Having escaped in haste earlier, he had lost his sense of direction; he found his location on the map and chose a direction to fly again.

His choice was naturally that secret base; he needed to enter seclusion to heal, and only there he could find the Nascent Soul Level Spirit Vein needed for his recovery.

Without a Nascent Soul Level Spirit Vein, merely relying on healing Spirit Pills, his injuries could not heal quickly.

Being on the Beishu Continent, after this battle, the six major sects would certainly search frantically for the remaining forces of Skywalk Trading Company.

Although he was at the Nascent Soul Stage, having gone through this great battle, his injuries were quite severe and would take a long time to recuperate; any forced action would worsen his condition.

He flew very cautiously, suppressing his cultivation base but by using some secret techniques, he was still able to detect the traces of other cultivators in advance.

He actively avoided any encounters with other cultivators along the way.

Thus, he reached the secret base uneventfully and entered the valley by activating the formation.

Upon entering the hall, he immediately sensed something was amiss.

There were no cultivators in the hall; it was possible that they were elsewhere and not here, but the spiritual energy inside the cave dwelling was abnormally weak.

When he sensed the cave dwelling’s conditions, he found that not a single cultivator was detectable within the areas he could sense.

"Has something happened here?" He quickly thought of leaving as soon as he realized something was wrong.

But as he tried to leave, he found that the formation, which had been normal just moments ago, had shifted to a different sort.

Of course, he could easily break through the formation here with a single strike.

Li Shiming had never intended to use the cave dwelling’s formation to trap a Nascent Soul Ancestor like Patriarch Weng Zhao; he merely wanted to delay him for a brief moment.

As soon as Patriarch Weng Zhao entered the cave dwelling, Li Shiming had seen him through surveillance cameras and activated the explosives he had set up.

Li Shiming wanted to give Patriarch Weng Zhao a surprise and also see if explosives were truly ineffective against a Nascent Soul Ancestor. The expansive cave dwelling, areas concealed by the formation, underground, above, and behind the four walls, any possible place to store explosives, were completely filled with explosives by him.

This time, he had prepared high-explosive TNT; the cave dwelling was insanely filled with over two hundred tons of TNT explosives.
