Two hundred miles is a very short distance for a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. With the use of secret techniques, he can reach the destination in a dozen breaths.
Li Shiming, who was sitting in the flying boat, saw a Northern Shu Jindan middle-stage cultivator rushing towards him in the form of a rainbow light.
He also saw the huge illusory figure that Uncle Master Song transformed into at the last moment a moment ago. Although Uncle Master Song had done some wrong things to him, the hatred was gone after the person died. He looked at Uncle Master Song who turned into nothingness, and felt relieved.
He smiled faintly at the mid-stage Jindan cultivator who was chasing after him.
He was extremely confident in the rocket he made. If it was a rocket from his previous life, it might really be caught up by a Jindan cultivator at the moment of launch.
But this rocket is different. It greatly reduces air resistance and does not need to worry about temperature limitations of materials. It only needs to maximize the combustion effect of liquid hydrogen to achieve the maximum thrust that could only be achieved in theory in the past.
At first the speed of the rocket was not very fast, but after a few breaths, it became faster and faster under the powerful propulsion.
The speed of the rocket, which was still in the process of climbing, exceeded that of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator.
When the rocket reached an altitude of 10,000 meters and flew horizontally, its speed had reached Mach 7.
A cultivator in the middle Jindan stage stood a hundred miles away from Yingzui Island, staring blankly at the light spot in the sky, which was moving farther and farther away at a speed that he could hardly imagine.
Not to mention chasing after her, he didn't even have the courage to do so now.
If someone told him that he was chasing a Nascent Soul ancestor just now, he would believe it.
Because even Patriarch Zang could not reach that speed, he could not imagine that there would be a cultivator with strength lower than the Nascent Soul stage who could reach such a speed.
Not to mention the mid-stage Jindan cultivator, even Patriarch Zang was frowning as he watched the rapidly disappearing rocket. Although he did not sense any strong aura, the speed still made him slightly shocked.
In addition, the height of the rocket is infinitely close to the Thirty-Third Heaven. For a cultivator without strength, getting close to the Thirty-Third Heaven is seeking death.
This made Patriarch Zang look worried. It was obvious that the Tianhai Sect had a secret, but he hoped that it wouldn't cause too much trouble in the future.
Li Shiming had no idea what the monks of Mingxin Sect in Northern Shu were thinking. At this moment, all his attention was focused on the dashboard.
This dashboard displays the speed, altitude, fuel, and other monitoring data of the rocket. The speed at this moment has reached a level that makes him a little worried.
Originally, according to the rocket design drawings from his previous life, the maximum speed that this rocket engine could reach was only Mach 7.
But at this time, due to the combination of technologies from the two worlds, the actual speed of the rocket has reached Mach 10.
At this speed, the magic circle that separates the air on the flying boat consumes a lot of spiritual energy. If it weren't for the flying boat helping to reduce the air resistance in front, the friction between the entire rocket and the air at this speed would probably produce a high temperature that he couldn't bear.
He carefully extended his spiritual consciousness out of the rocket. His spiritual consciousness replaced his eyes, allowing him to see the situation below.
He saw the Seven Star Island, which was as small as an ant. It took him only twenty minutes to reach the Seven Star Island from the sect. Normally, this distance would take several hours, and that was with an extremely fast flying instrument like a flying boat.
The rocket was flying over the sea, and soon there were no reference objects on the sea surface, as if there was only sea water between heaven and earth.
Li Shiming had already found the right direction, so he didn't have to worry about flying in the wrong direction.
The only problem is that the map of this world is too non-standard. Although I have a map of the North Sea in my hand, there is no accurate data on the actual distance.
He didn't know whether the rocket had enough fuel to pass through the North Sea, but he only needed to pass through the most dangerous central area. Even if he was farther away from the coast of Beishu, it would be relatively safe.
After more than five hours of sailing, just when he thought there would be no trouble at this altitude, he sensed a terrifying breath.
A huge shadow appeared in the sea ahead. The shadow was covered with black hair and had a body structure similar to that of humans, but he was 100% sure that it was definitely not a human.
The aura it exuded carried a kind of ferocity unique to sea beasts.
Li Shiming had never heard of the Nascent Soul Dharma Image, otherwise he would immediately know what this phantom was.
It was also his bad luck. If his speed was not so fast and he was flying at an altitude of ten thousand meters, he would not have been noticed by this sea beast with the strength of a Nascent Soul.
Who said that the rocket was extremely eye-catching in terms of both speed and noise, making the sea beasts with Nascent Soul strength feel threatened.
Powerful sea beasts all have a sense of territory. If another powerful being passes through their territory, it will be considered an invasion, which is a provocation to the powerful sea beast.
Since it was a provocation, the sea beast with Nascent Soul strength naturally needed to respond, and the Nascent Soul's Dharma image transformed into a giant standing tall.
The giant slapped the rocket with one hand. No matter how fast the rocket was, it could not escape the blocking attack of a Yuanying strength.
Fortunately, the sea beast with the strength of the Nascent Soul treated Rocket as an equal existence and did not use divine thoughts to attack the weak. Otherwise, there would be no need for the physical attack of the Nascent Soul Dharma Image, and a divine thought would be enough to completely eliminate Rocket.
Li Shiming's scalp tingled. After sensing the terrifying aura, his body was suppressed by the difference in realm.
The only thing that could move was his spiritual mind. He knew that this was a life-and-death situation, so he immediately activated a formation on the flying boat.
The formation was activated, and a ray of light enveloped the rocket. The function of this formation was to make the materials connected by the formation lose weight.
The rocket body has lost its weight, but its powerful propulsion force remains unchanged, so it will inevitably achieve a faster speed.
It was this tiny difference in speed that caused the huge hand to pass behind the rocket and not hit it.
At the speed of a rocket, if a sea beast with Nascent Soul strength finds that it has missed the target, it must pursue with its original body if it wants to attack again. If the Nascent Soul Dharma Image attacks again, it will be beyond the attack range of the Dharma Image.
Li Shiming silently counted "3, 2, 1" in his heart. When he counted down to 1, he stopped the flying boat's weightlessness formation.
However, as the speed of the rocket increased, even if its weight was restored, it would still take some distance for the speed to slow down again. With this distance, he had already escaped the attack range of the sea beast with Nascent Soul strength.
The Yuanying Sea Beast did not pursue. It was obvious that the enemy did not want to stay in its territory. In addition, looking at the direction of the rocket's flight, that was the direction of human land, so the Yuanying Sea Beast did not want to get too close.
Land is a forbidden zone for sea beasts. Even Yuanying sea beasts do not want to get close to land.
In this world, humans are the most powerful race. Other life forms, even if they have developed intelligence and powerful strength, are just powerful individuals.
Li Shiming observed the dashboard and saw that all the rocket data were normal, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
The body of the rocket is made of ordinary metal. Although it has been enchanted, the effect of the solid rune cannot turn ordinary metal into a spiritual object. It only strengthens the metal's resistance and hardness.
The flying boat's weightless formation requires spiritual materials to support it. He has experimented with ordinary metals and found that it can only last for three seconds at most. If it lasts longer than that, the ordinary metal will collapse.
It's not that he hadn't thought about using spiritual materials, such as the metal used in the worst and lowest-grade magical instruments, to make the rocket's body.
But the amount of metal needed to make the rocket body was so much that even if he had so many spirit stones to buy them, he would not be able to find a seller who could sell so much spiritual metal.
You should know that the mining rights of most spiritual mines belong to the seven major sects, and the annual output is very limited.
Although he had some small privileges when he was in Tianhai Sect, he still relied on Yin Shilan's relationship. He was unable to obtain large amounts of spiritual metals that were extremely critical to the sect.
He looked into the distance with lingering fear, then asked IBMz15 to mark it. When he had enough strength, he would come back to cause trouble for this Nascent Soul sea beast.
Of course, he currently doesn’t know the true strength of this sea beast. If he knew that this sea beast had the strength of a Nascent Soul, it is hard to say whether he would still bear grudge.
The flying boat was still flying at an altitude of ten thousand meters. The fuel level on the dashboard was almost running out, but there was still no land in sight.
He sighed helplessly. It seemed that he still had some misunderstanding about this world.
This planet seems to have an environment similar to that of Earth, but its surface area must be much larger. This is the conclusion reached through calculation and analysis by IBM z15 at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
He calculated the possible width of the North Sea based on the size of the Earth, but the rocket dropped him above the sea.
The last bit of liquid hydrogen was consumed, the rocket's engine shut down, and it fell downward.
Li Shiming swept his spiritual thoughts over and put the rocket into the ring with the largest storage space.
This rocket can be used again after being refilled with liquid hydrogen. At least until he makes a better rocket, this rocket is still his fastest means of transportation after some repairs.
He took out the jade flying boat. This was the second one given to him by the monks of the Holy Ice Sect. He gave the first one to Ren Feier.
The jade flying boat was chosen because it has better concealment when flying above the sea. The jade flying boat with transparent effect can create a certain stealth effect at a long distance.
Li Shiming did not change direction. Although the map in his hand was temporarily useless and he could not locate his position, as long as the direction was correct, he would be able to find land.
It is because he is ignorant and fearless that he can do such a bold thing.
If he truly understood the dangers of the North Sea, he probably would not have dared to fly across the North Sea alone with his strength in the Qi Refining Stage.
In the next few days, he realized how dangerous the North Sea was. Every few hours, he would be attacked by sea beasts.
However, his luck was pretty good, and he did not encounter any sea beasts with foundation-building strength. As a result, his sailing speed was only affected by the sea beasts, and he did not have any other troubles.
Seven days later, he finally saw a hint of land from where the sea and the sky met.
He couldn't help but let go of the worry that had been hanging in the air. For seven days, he hadn't seen any target objects at all. What made him even more worried was that he hadn't even encountered an island, which almost made him think that he was sailing towards the deep sea.
If IBM z15 hadn't provided a clear direction, he wouldn't have been able to persist for so long.
As a monk, he does not have to worry about food, but being on the ocean, the scenery is exactly the same every day, and there is no hope. This is a great test for his psychology.
Li Shiming lowered the jade flying boat below the sea surface and moved forward in the water. Due to the transparency of the jade flying boat, this was equivalent to another form of invisibility.
In areas close to the land, there is no need to worry about trouble from powerful sea beasts.
If his judgment was correct, the Northern Shu Continent should be ahead.
The reason why he was willing to come to the Northern Shu Continent, besides his relationship with Yin Shilan, was also because he wanted to become stronger.
After he saw the Seven Star Island and how Yun Xingyi, a Jindan sword cultivator from Northern Shu, broke through the Seven Star Island formation alone and made the Seven Sects feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, he began to doubt the strength of the Seven Sects.
Although they are both Jindan, Yun Xingyi, a Jindan sword cultivator from Northern Shu, is so powerful. Especially combined with what the Jindan from Qixing Island who participated in the battle with Yun Xingyi said, Li Shiming confirmed the gap between the Seven Sects and Northern Shu.
And who is Yun Xingyi? He is a stray dog who was forced to leave Beishu. Such a Jindan cultivator is considered invincible by the Jindan masters of the seven sects.
In addition, among the huge Tianhai Sect, the martial arts that Li Shiming had seen and heard of, there was no martial arts that could compare to the two martial arts he obtained from Yun Xingyi.
This made Li Shiming realize that there was no hope for him to stay in the Seven Sects. Even if there was no invasion by the Northern Shu cultivators, he could at most reach the strength level of Elder Yin in the Tianhai Sect.
This was determined by the resources of Tianhai Island, and also because the seven sects themselves did not have enough foundation to cultivate Nascent Soul cultivators. Even late Golden Core cultivators rarely appeared.
To Li Shiming's surprise, he reached the shore without any trouble. The Northern Shu Continent did not have any defense against the ocean and seemed to not care about the existence of sea beasts at all.
What kind of confidence does it take to have such confidence?
You should know that on Tianhai Island, the seven sects took great pains to set up two lines of defense for the sea beasts.
The Seven Star Island is the first line of defense, which is designed to prevent Jindan-stage sea beasts from approaching.
After that, the seven sects were responsible for the respective sea lines, and they were responsible for stopping the sea beasts in the Foundation Establishment Stage and those that were too numerous in number. The remaining sea beasts in the Qi Refining Stage were dealt with by the Qi Refining monks of the sects.
These layers of defense prevented the threat of sea beasts to Tianhai Island and also became the main source of low-level resources for various sects.
The flying boat flew out of the sea and landed on the beach near the shore.
Li Shiming jumped out of the flying boat, stepped on the ground with his feet, and felt that the world became real.
After living at sea for so many days, he missed land very much.
He casually put away the jade flying boat, thought for a moment, and changed all his clothes into a low-grade robe. He even put his storage bracelet into the machine room.
He wanted to make himself look like a poor Qi-refining cultivator, a casual cultivator.
