Only when you are at the sea can you realize how big the world is.

Li Shiming stood above the sea, with no landmarks around him. If it weren't for the IBMz15 to plan his direction, he would not be able to find the location marked on the ancient map with just his eyes.

He was very excited, as many cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation would go on adventures to various places.

This is related to the existence of a large number of unknown relics in the world of immortal cultivation. Given the huge number of cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, many caves left behind by cultivators who died of injuries or old age will become targets of exploration.

Li Shiming and his clone Li Yuanba had only explored the abandoned residence of a cultivator once, and they gained a lot from that trip. Of course, it was also extremely dangerous.

This time, Li Shiming's exploration of the ruins of the Wuqi Sect was his second exploration mission in the true sense.

He stopped the sword light. According to the comparison results of IBMz15, this place should be the location of Wuqi Sect on the ancient map.

Looking at the sea all around him, he couldn't help but sigh at the changes in the world.

He cast a spiritual shield on himself and entered the sea.

This place is about three hundred miles away from the sea. The visibility of the sea water is very good. One can see about tens of meters away in the sea. His spiritual sense can explore farther.

After a while, he landed on the bottom of the sea.

What disappointed him was that he didn't see anything eye-catching on this piece of seabed.

His spiritual sense swept downwards, and the mud on the seabed greatly reduced the scanning distance of his spiritual sense.

His divine sense could only penetrate about fifty meters of seabed mud at most, and it was powerless any further.

He was not in a hurry. He just moved slowly on the seabed and explored with his divine sense.

A sudden heart palpitation appeared, and Li Shiming almost instinctively used the 'Lotus Step by Step'. A white lotus appeared under his feet, and another white lotus appeared a hundred meters away.

A slender poisonous snake opened its mouth from the mud on the seabed, revealing its four venomous fangs. It seemed to bite Li Shiming, but in fact it only bit his shadow.

Li Shiming's hair stood up all over his body. He had always been wary of the seabed, otherwise he would not have been able to escape the attack of this poisonous snake.

The poisonous snake is a spiritual beast close to the level of a great demon. What's more terrifying is that if the poisonous snake hadn't opened its mouth and attacked him, he would not have noticed the existence of the poisonous snake.

Li Shiming had been keeping his spiritual thoughts outward all the time. In this situation, it was unimaginable that the poisonous snake could actually approach him silently.

He had heard that the sea was the most dangerous place. The reason why he dared to come here was because it was not far from the sea and was in the near-shore area.

The poisonous snake did not give up after failing to hit the target. It drew a line in the water and chased after Li Shiming.

Li Shiming is not good at underwater combat, or in other words, unless a monk specializes in underwater combat, normal monks will be restricted in underwater combat.

Whether using spells or magical tools, they will be affected by the sea water.

Especially spiritual power such as fire attribute will be greatly suppressed.

The resistance in the water will also slow down the speed of the magic weapon, and you need to adapt to these before you can fight freely.

Even when moving in the sea, it will still be affected by the resistance of the sea water and cannot reach one-third of the speed in the air.

Li Shiming doesn't have to worry about this. With 'Lotus Steps', he doesn't need to consider the movement between the two white lotuses. He can teleport directly between the two white lotuses.

Seeing the poisonous snake coming, Li Shiming chose to use the water-attributed lightning spiritual power and sent out a "lightning strike".

After releasing the 'Lightning Strike Technique', countless electric currents formed in the sea water in front of him. He quickly dodged far away, not wanting to be affected by the 'Lightning Strike Technique' he released.

When he used 'Lotus Step by Step' to appear a hundred meters away, he was surprised to find that the poisonous snake beast had disappeared.

He was 100% sure that the venomous snake was not killed by the 'Lightning Strike Technique'. Not to mention that the power of the 'Lightning Strike Technique' was dispersed by the sea water, even if the 'Lightning Strike Technique' hit the venomous snake spirit beast, it would not be able to kill a spirit beast close to the big demon with one strike.

"Sly guy!" Li Shiming activated the 'Thick Earth Shield Bead' with a grim look, and put up a powerful defense for his body.

The 'Thick Earth Shield Bead' is a trophy obtained by the clone Li Yuanba when he killed a true disciple of a certain sect. Its defensive effect is very strong. The only drawback is that it needs to be charged in advance with earth-attributed spiritual power.

With the protection of the 'Thick Earth Shield Bead', he felt much more at ease.

Due to the brief contact just now, the silt on the seabed was stirred up, causing visibility in the sea to be affected by the flying mud and sand, and the visible distance was greatly reduced.

In addition, he had just discovered that the poisonous snake spirit beast could not be sensed by divine consciousness, which made him even more cautious.

He did not take out the flying sword, because its speed at the bottom of the sea was not as fast as that of the poisonous snake beast.

He sensed a slight ripple in the sea water beside him, and a white lotus appeared in the distance. He appeared on the white lotus, and his original position was bitten by a poisonous snake spirit beast.

"It's the Absolute Spirit Shape-shifting Snake!" After dodging the attack again, Li Shiming determined the species of the venomous snake.

The Shushan Sect had a lot of miscellaneous books, and he read quite a few of them. It would be better to say that he scanned a large number of books into the hard drive of IBMz15.

Just now, IBMz15 found a similar description of the appearance and fighting style of the venomous snake beast after a short contact.

'Jueling Huanxing Snake' is an ancient poisonous snake spirit beast. The information about Jueling Huanxing Snake is recorded in a jade slip found by the sect from some ancient ruins.

The skin of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' can block the detection of spiritual power. Spiritual thoughts, divine thoughts, etc. cannot sense the existence of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake'.

The 'Absolute Spirit Shapeshifting Snake' also has a shapeshifting ability that allows it to blend in with the environment, similar to the ability of invisibility.

The combination of the two abilities makes him the most terrifying surprise assassin.

Although the jade slip did not specify how powerful the poison of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' was, it ranked its threat level higher than many well-known poisonous creatures. One can imagine how terrifying the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' was.

Fortunately, this 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' is only close to being a great demon. If it really reaches the level of a great demon, Li Shiming would be in real danger.

After knowing the characteristics of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake', Li Shiming's eyes lit up. The threat of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' to him was limited, but the appearance of a poisonous snake spirit beast that only existed in ancient times meant that there was still something left over from ancient times here for the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' to live in.

Of course, before exploring, he needs to get rid of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' first, otherwise he will still be in some danger with the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake's' strange attack methods.

There were flashes of lightning on his body, and this time he released a group of mines.

The mine group is the application method of the mine spiritual power in the "Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art". The release of the mine group can become a trigger-type attack method.

The mine group will release water-attributed lightning in the surrounding area when touched by external force or controlled by Li Shiming.

You should know that Li Shiming's realm at this time is the late stage of foundation building. The "Five Elements Air Gathering Array" in the Spirit Lake has allowed his spiritual power to reach the peak power of the late stage of foundation building. The power of the torpedo group he unleashed is considered the ultimate magic power of the foundation building period.

Li Shiming couldn't find the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake', and he didn't stay in one place for too long. He kept performing 'Lotus Blossoms at Every Step', which kept flashing in the sea within a certain range.

Every time he appeared, he would release multiple mine groups, and soon he would leave a large number of mine groups in this area.

The mine groups that seem to be released randomly are actually based on a formation. Each mine group is equivalent to a formation flag. However, due to the single energy of the mine groups, the power of this formation is not great.

Li Shiming appeared in the center of the formation, standing on a white lotus, with twelve white lotuses scattered around him in all directions.

He waited quietly, and the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' didn't make him wait for long.

The 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' may have great confidence in its own attack capabilities. Although Li Shiming deployed a large number of mines, they did not affect the attack of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake'.

Still near Li Shiming's side, without revealing any energy, suddenly the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' appeared and bit Li Shiming.

This time Li Shiming did not dodge, he used the 'Thick Earth Shield Bead' to block the attack.

He truly realized the poison of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake'. The 'Thick Earth Shield Bead' was a rare treasure, but after being bitten by the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake', a gap was corroded on the earth-attributed spiritual shield, and it was still expanding rapidly.

The power of a bite from the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' can even be compared to the full force of a half-step golden elixir.

If it weren't for the 'Thick Earth Shield Bead', Li Shiming might have trapped himself with the trap he set.

He took action immediately, and with a thought, all the mine clusters were activated. Within a radius of about 200 meters with him as the center, a water-attributed lightning was formed, which was filled entirely by mine clusters.

And at the moment when the mine group was activated, the formation he had set up was fully effective.

Of course, due to the time it takes to activate the mine group, this formation can only last for two breaths at most.

After the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' missed its first attack, it immediately entered into stealth mode and disappeared from Li Shiming's mind. It is believed that when the 'Thick Earth Shield Bead' is corroded to the point of losing its defensive effect, the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' will appear again and deal a fatal blow to Li Shiming.

At this time, the water-attributed lightning of the mine group exploded, causing the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' to be caught in countless lightning attacks all of a sudden.

With the defense and speed of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake', it can withstand lightning attacks and rush out from a distance of 200 meters in an instant.

However, when the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' wanted to rush out of the range of the water-attributed lightning, it found that no matter how it rushed, it was still within the range of the lightning.

The water-attributed lightning made it impossible for the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' to remain hidden, and it appeared about sixty meters away from Li Shiming.

A white lotus appeared next to the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake', and at the same time, Li Shiming's figure appeared on the white lotus. The third-grade sword master brought his unparalleled strength and sword intent, and slashed at the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' with all his strength.

Li Shiming had been accumulating strength for this attack for a long time and arranged such a large battle just for this final blow.

The third-grade sword foundation slashed at the seven-inch point of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake'. How strong is Li Shiming's close combat ability? The Immaculate Taoist Body plus the two body-refining exercises, plus the third-grade sword foundation and sword intent, it can be said that this attack definitely reached the power of a full-strength attack of a half-step golden elixir.

No matter what, the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' is only close to being a big demon, not a real big demon.

The third-grade sword base cut the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' almost in half at the seven-inch point, and the sword body was stuck at the seven-inch point.

The 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' struggled frantically, trying to get rid of the three-grade sword base that was seven inches away from it.

"Die!" Li Shiming's left hand was empty. With a loud shout, he grabbed the head of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' with his left hand and blocked the mouth of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' with his hand, preventing it from using its fangs.

He exerted force with his right hand, trying to use the third-grade sword to cut off the seven inches of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake'.

The body of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' bent and whipped him continuously, but he let it whip him without changing his expression.

Although the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' lashed desperately, and each blow was as powerful as a heavy blow from a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, this level of attack was simply unable to break Li Shiming's defense, let alone hurt him.

It can be said that at this moment, he is a humanoid ferocious beast, a spiritual beast with physical fitness close to that of a big demon.

If the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' could speak at this moment, it would probably wonder who the real spiritual beast is. Since when could the body of a human cultivator compete with a spiritual beast of the same level and even gain the upper hand?

Li Shiming was also extremely shocked by the defensive power of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake'. The power of the third-grade sword in his hand was so strong that it was his most powerful means of attack at present, but even so, it was still extremely strenuous.

The two sides continued fighting for about ten breaths, and the third-grade sword base finally cut open the seven inches of the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake'.

The 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' was broken into two pieces, its body twitching constantly, its head in his left hand with its mouth wide open, its vitality extremely strong.

But up to now, the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' has been a complete failure.

After waiting for a while, the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' died, and he collected its body.

The corpse of the 'Absolute Spiritual Shapeshifting Snake' is a good thing, and its snake skin may be able to be made into a special spiritual weapon.

Li Shiming put away the Thick Earth Shield Bead. During this period of time, the earth attribute spiritual power in the Thick Earth Shield Bead was almost exhausted, and was completely corroded by the poison of the Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake.

He ignored the 'Thick Earth Shield Bead' and focused his attention on the seabed again.

This time he did not do as before, but used his spiritual power and mind to dig at the bottom of the sea.

He dug up a large amount of silt, put it into a storage bag, and then discharged it to a distant place.

He spent a whole day on this work, digging the silt in an area more than thirty meters down.

Slowly, the secrets hidden under the mud began to be exposed in his mind. He sensed blocks of artificially excavated rocks, which were the stones for building structures.
