The 'Devil Sound Lotus' cannot be blamed; it was Li Shiming who chose the wrong person to use his sonic power on.
If the 'Devil Sound Lotus' is used against cultivators from other sects, even if they are cultivators from the Demon Sect, the 'Devil Sound Lotus' will have a good effect.
However, due to the main practice of the Holy Ice Sect, it has a strong resistance to psychedelic minds.
In addition, Li Shiming's realm is still too low. If he has also reached the late stage of Qi Refining, the two late stage Qi Refining cultivators will definitely not be able to resist.
Just as he was thinking, a cold light appeared in front of him.
It was a transparent ice sword, which stopped half a meter in front of his eyes.
In front of him, a small spirit turtle shield appeared. The middle-grade spirit turtle shield naturally could not withstand the full-strength attack of the seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator, but it was the effect produced by the defensive formation of the spirit turtle shield.
However, this attack also caused the defensive formation of the Spirit Turtle Shield to tremble, thus offsetting the full power of the attack.
Li Shiming narrowed his eyes slightly, and shot out a spiritual jade sword that could not be detected by two late Qi Refining cultivators, and the target was the seventh Qi Refining cultivator.
At the same time, driven by the "Sword Control Technique", the Qingyuan Wooden Sword turned into a sword light and followed the Lingnian Jade Sword to shoot towards the Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator.
Speaking of the Qingyuan wooden sword, after Li Shiming got the spirit stone, he still wanted to buy a top-grade gold-attribute sword from the Yun's Trading Company. However, after looking at many top-grade gold-attribute swords, he was not satisfied with any of them.
The main reason was that the quality of the Qingyuan wooden sword was a bit high. When he exchanged it for those high-quality gold-attributed swords, it did not substantially improve the power of the "Sword Controlling Technique".
Taking into account the time required to refine a top-grade sword, he felt it was not cost-effective, so he is still using the Green Kite Wood Sword until now.
Another most important reason is that his vision is too high.
After seeing the magic weapons in Baili Jinyan's storage bracelet, even though he could not take them out and use them, he really looked down on ordinary high-grade magic weapons.
The Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator was very surprised to find that he could not break Li Shiming's defense with one attack. This was already a head-on fight.
In a head-on fight, his top-grade magic weapon was unable to break the defense of a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator. This should not have been the case even if the opponent was using a top-grade defensive magic weapon.
The Spirit Turtle Shield in front of Li Shiming was only a mid-grade magic weapon, which made him unable to understand where the problem lay.
In the world of cultivating immortals, magical instruments are indeed important, but realm is more important. Each level of realm will bring about a qualitative change in spiritual power, which will bring great improvements in both power and control of magical instruments.
With the spiritual power of the seventh level of Qi Refining and the control of top-grade magic tools, theoretically one can easily break the top-grade defensive magic tools of a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Just as he was considering attacking again, he felt a sharp pain in his head. It was not a physical pain, but a pain from the soul.
Since he had handed over the defense to the eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator, he himself had no defense at all at this time.
Besides, even if there is defense, the spiritual attack of the Spirit Jade Sword is beyond the scope of the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage and is an attack method that cannot be resisted.
That is to say, Li Shiming has not practiced the 'Ice Heart Jade Mind Technique' for long, otherwise this attack would have killed a Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator on the spot.
Spiritual thoughts are an important feature that distinguishes foundation-building cultivators from Qi-refining cultivators. This is an attack that is one large level higher, not to mention that even ordinary foundation-building cultivators do not have the ability to attack with spiritual thoughts.
The Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator opened his mouth and was about to scream when a beam of sword light pierced through his chest, stopping the scream in his stomach.
The cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining never imagined that the cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining would be killed instantly when fighting against Li Shiming at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
He was using elixirs to forcibly improve himself, and was able to barely withstand the attack of the bronze corpse's mid-grade magical weapon, the Gatling gun.
He wanted to escape, but Li Shiming's position was too perfect, blocking the entrance to the cave, leaving him no way to escape.
If you want to escape, then defeat the bronze corpse and Li Shiming in front of you.
"Let's die together!" A fierce look flashed in the eyes of the eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator, and he shouted loudly.
The spiritual energy in his body fluctuated violently and his body began to swell.
How could Li Shiming let him self-destruct? With his small body, he couldn't withstand the self-destruction of an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator.
He shot out a spiritual jade sword, and the madness in the eyes of the eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator seemed to be frozen when the spiritual jade sword hit his brain.
The top-grade magic shield in his hand was hit by multiple ice crystal bullets and was blown away because it lost the blessing of spiritual power in a short period of time.
The body of the eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator was exposed to the middle-grade Gatling weapon. In a moment, small holes appeared on his chest, and the most fatal one was the damage to his heart.
Li Shiming breathed a sigh of relief. He won the battle, but it was not as easy as he had imagined.
He used the Spiritual Jade Sword twice to injure the enemies. Since the enemies' realms were higher than his, the two uses of the Spiritual Jade Sword made him feel mentally exhausted.
Only then did he realize the risks of using the Spirit Jade Sword in battle. He was facing a Qi-refining cultivator who had no means of resisting spiritual attacks.
If the enemy has the means to resist spiritual thoughts, coupled with the gap in realm, he is afraid that his spirit will be seriously damaged.
Before the battle, he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the two late Qi Refining cultivators, and only realized this during the actual battle.
If it weren't for the mid-grade magic weapon that supported Lin's suppression, he wouldn't even have the chance to use spiritual attacks, which made him more affected by the realm gap on the battle.
Li Shiming stepped forward and performed the "Soul Controlling and Soul Separating Technique" on the two corpses. The two souls were sucked into the "Soul Controlling and Soul Separating Technique".
He then put away the two bodies and cleaned up the traces of battle in the cave.
The cave was protected by a formation and was not damaged. All he needed to do was to retrieve all the ice crystal bullets.
Of course, if the ice crystal bullets are left alone, they will slowly melt after some time as the internal spiritual power weakens.
He checked the cave again. In the storage room inside the cave, there were many fasting pills and some therapeutic pills.
In the other two rooms, spirit gathering arrays were set up, and the cost of these arrays alone was not small.
It can be seen that this stronghold is still very important, and he also determined which force's stronghold this is.
From their fighting styles, he recognized that the two late Qi Refining cultivators were from the Holy Ice Sect. Needless to say, this was the follow-up influence of Baili Jinyan.
Li Shiming did not touch the pills in the storage room, nor did he have any intention of dismantling the formation here.
Before designing the 'Thousand Miles Mutual Vision', he would never let go of anything here, as the materials used to set up the formation are very valuable.
His wealth is very different now. It’s not that he looks down on the wealth in front of him, but he has deeper ideas.
Li Shiming began to make arrangements in the cave, the most important of which was to fill the bottom of the cave with solid explosives made from nitroglycerin and a variety of chemical substances.
That is to say, because he had a source of raw materials that did not require any restrictions, he was able to create the most powerful explosives in this world that belonged to his previous life.
A full two tons of solid explosives were filled underground in the cave.
He also installed pinhole surveillance probes on the walls of the cave's hall.
Due to the nature of the cave, the signal from the pinhole surveillance probe cannot penetrate the thick stone walls.
This problem was easy to solve. He added several formation flags to the original formation of the cave, thus enabling the original formation to gain the function of transmitting information to the outside.
This is similar to the effect of the sect's large formation in transmitting information, but the one in the cave is a super simplified version, which can only transmit the information in the cave to a distance of 80 meters outside the cave.
He placed a relay receiver on the seabed outside the formation, and used long wires to extend the signal here to a distance of a thousand meters on the seabed.
Li Shiming, who had done everything, stayed in a small hole dug out from the reef on the seabed a thousand meters away, wearing a diving suit.
He decided to wait here for a few days. He prepared to go fishing, and his target was the foundation-building monk who had left.
Although he himself could not defeat the Foundation Establishment Monk, he did not believe that the two improved solid explosives could not kill the Foundation Establishment Monk who was confined in the cave.
If even two tons of explosives couldn't do this, then he would definitely not stay for even a moment and would turn around and go back to Eagle Island.
If Eagle's Beak Island is not safe enough, he will hide in Jiufeng.
With his current status in Duifeng, it is still possible for him to apply for a cave in Duifeng.
Li Shiming stayed in the sea. In the machine room, an oxygen generator was producing oxygen and sending it into his diving suit through a tube.
Theoretically, he could stay in the sea for almost unlimited time, with enough oxygen, and when he was hungry he could make spiritual rice in the engine room.
In fact, the methods used by the immortal world can also allow him to stay freely on the seabed, but considering that it will cause fluctuations in spiritual power, he still believes in technological means.
The methods used in the world of immortal cultivation are all aimed at those with fluctuations in spiritual energy, while they are very focused on the detection of ordinary things.
With nothing to do at the bottom of the sea, he began to think about the 'soul-controlling and soul-dividing technique'.
This time, he collected the souls of two Saint Ice Sect's late Qi Refining cultivators, which provided him with good materials for practicing the 'Soul Controlling and Soul Dividing Technique'.
The soul of a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining is the best soul material he can currently access.
To control the soul is to control the soul, but this soul does not refer to a single soul, but a soul generated through the "Soul Control and Soul Division Technique".
The raw material is the collected souls, which can be from cultivators or spirit beasts. The souls of ordinary creatures are too weak to become the material for the "Soul Controlling and Soul Dividing Technique".
Li Shiming used the "Soul Controlling and Soul Separation Technique" to allow the two collected late Qi Refining souls to begin to merge.
The soul is a very difficult substance to understand. Unless one uses soul-related secret techniques such as the "Soul Control and Soul Division Technique" or special magic tools, it is difficult for cultivators to truly perceive its existence.
The soul of a living organism after death has no relationship with the living organism anymore. It is just a mass of spiritual energy without any consciousness or thoughts from previous life.
Li Shiming didn't know what the souls of high-level cultivators were like. The two souls he collected were normally merged into one main soul according to the "Soul Controlling and Soul Dividing Technique".
This main spirit has a relatively solid energy body, and in his spiritual mind, it looks like a ball of energy.
That is to say, he had to collect the souls of two late Qi Refining cultivators in order to reach the minimum standard for using the 'Soul Controlling and Soul Dividing Technique'. Otherwise, he would need to let this main spirit continuously devour more souls of creatures before he could perform the subsequent 'Soul Dividing Technique'.
The biggest advantage of the 'Soul Control and Soul Dividing Technique' is reconnaissance. By dividing the main spirit into extremely weak energy, a split soul is formed. This split soul can be thousands of miles away from the main spirit. As long as it is not destroyed or the internal energy is dissipated, it can continue to reconnaissance.
When it comes to reconnaissance, it must have the ability to provide feedback.
The most powerful aspect of the 'Soul Controlling and Soul Separation Technique' is that the split soul can share vision and hearing with the main soul, and the owner of the main soul can share vision and hearing with the main soul.
In this way, no matter how far away the soul is, the master can share what the soul sees and hears.
The split soul is extremely weak, which makes it almost unable to protect itself. However, the way the split soul exists is that very few creatures can pose a threat to it, and even creatures that discover the split soul are extremely rare.
It is precisely because of the weakness of the split soul that even if the split soul is discovered by a powerful cultivator, its existence will be largely ignored.
This shows how precious the secret technique of 'Soul Controlling and Soul Separation' is. Among the three jade slips that are qualified to be collected by Baili Jinyan, each one is a top-level technique.
Li Shiming carefully separated a soul from the main spirit. The soul was very weak. If it were not for the main spirit's sensitivity, he would have found it difficult to detect the soul so close to him.
Especially in sea water, the presence of the split soul is even lower.
"It seems that part of the work of the surveillance probe can be done by the split soul in the future!" he thought to himself.
The soul was traveling through the sea. The flight of the energy body had nothing to do with matter, and there was no resistance at all in the water.
Li Shiming shared hearing and vision with the main spirit and looked at the sea water in front of the split soul. The ignorant sea fish swam past the split soul.
The split soul came to the surface of the sea. Through shared vision, he saw the sky and the faint island in the distance.
He did not let his soul leave the sea, but let it float on the sea, monitoring the direction of the island for him.
In this way, he had two perspectives to observe the island, one was the split soul, and the other was the pinhole probe in the cave.
He estimated the situation of the split soul and believed that it could probably last about ten days.
After the main spirit is divided, if the soul is not replenished, it will be impossible to divide into new souls.
Li Shiming couldn't help but think that there must be a main spirit with extremely high energy intensity beside Baili Jinyan. Unfortunately, the main spirit was a soul body and was completely destroyed with the sudden explosion.
Because he left so suddenly, neither Yin Shilan nor Ren Feier were able to contact him through his identity jade disc in the following two days.
Yin Shilan went directly to Eagle's Beak Island and found that the small mountain protection formation on Eagle's Beak Island was operating normally. She thought that Li Shiming might have entered some kind of enlightenment or retreat, and she felt relieved when she felt that Li Shiming was fine.
Ren Feier, who had traveled with Li Shiming, believed that nothing had happened to Li Shiming. She was calculating how much Li Shiming owed her and planned to settle the accounts with him after she could contact him.
