Li Shiming did not know what happened next at Qianye Temple, and he was unable to find out the situation at the scene after the rocket exploded.
However, the strategic plan was executed perfectly, and the natal magic weapon IBMz15 had already simulated the results of the battle.
But he never expected that his victory would be greater than he imagined and greater than the simulation of his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15.
The perfect Buddhist flower formation of Qianye Temple lost a corner.
That corner's defense was first broken by three 'Thunder Cloud Techniques', and then a fire was ignited by thermite.
Venerable Hui Jing tried to put out the fire, but his inner demon erupted and caused further damage, completely destroying all the buildings in that corner. Even few monks there survived.
Compared with the destruction that triggered the inner demon of Venerable Hui Jing, the damage done by Li Shiming was nothing.
I guess Li Shiming didn't expect that a rocket of not much value could actually injure a venerable.
Your Excellency, that is an existence of the same level as the Nascent Soul Patriarch among Buddhist cultivators. If one wants to directly harm such an existence, one must be a Nascent Soul Patriarch of the same realm.
With the way frictions between Nascent Soul ancestors are resolved, it is almost impossible for a Nascent Soul ancestor of this level to get hurt.
However, the most troublesome injury to Venerable Hui Jing was caused by his inner demon.
Even though Venerable Hui Jing's inner demon was suppressed by the four Arhats who specialized in Buddhist philosophy, it was only suppressed. If the inner demon was so easy to eliminate, it would not have frightened the cultivators so much.
It can be said that for a long time in the future, Venerable Hui Jing will not be able to take any action. He must go into seclusion immediately. And not an ordinary seclusion, but he needs to go into seclusion with four full-time arhats.
This period of time may be several years, perhaps decades, or even hundreds of years. The inner demon is invisible and intangible, and once it is formed, it is difficult to expel it.
If the inner demon happens to coincide with the heavenly demon when it appears, and if the heavenly demon invades the mind, the trouble will be many times greater.
The attack on Chiba Temple could not be concealed.
The fire rain from the thermite and the terrifying thunderclouds formed by the 'Thundercloud Technique' could be clearly seen even from hundreds of miles away.
In addition, there are always some spies from other sects within each major sect. They may not be professional intelligence personnel, but they are channels for selling intelligence.
Soon after Qianye Temple was attacked, the other five major sects knew about it, and later even some major forces knew about it.
In the following few days, the news continued to spread. Although not every cultivator knew about it, all cultivators who had connections with medium-sized or larger sects knew what had happened in Qianye Temple.
Of course, there are many kinds of rumors. Some cultivators even said that Qianye Temple was attacked by an Yuanying ancestor himself.
This argument was taken as fact by many cultivators, because not long ago there were rumors that a Nascent Soul ancestor from a force outside the continent had appeared in the Northern Shu continent. Combined with the attack on Qianye Temple, the connection between the two would inevitably lead the cultivators to make such a judgment.
However, not many monks believed the true situation.
A strange flying creature created by a mortal flew to Qianye Temple from a distant place, broke through the Qianye Temple's protective formation, and turned into a sea of thunder and fire to attack Qianye Temple.
Any monk with a normal brain would laugh and accuse the messenger of joking after hearing this rumor, because it is impossible for this to happen.
But those in the six major sects knew that the rumor was true, and after several days of investigation, they also discovered the origin of the rocket.
The rocket flew out from the Ten Thousand Mountains, breaking through the two great formations of good and evil in succession, and attacked Qianye Temple from a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles.
The fact that Qianye Temple attacked Li Yuanba several months ago was no secret within the six major sects. Because of Li Yuanba, Patriarch Lu and Venerable Hui Jing had even fought each other once.
At first, no one suspected Li Yuanba, but as the investigation deepened, someone discovered that on the day the rocket appeared, Li Yuanba left Jieshan Town alone.
There are many monks in the Shiwan Mountains who have grudges against Qianye Temple, but not many of them are capable of launching such an attack.
Theoretically, Li Yuanba did not have such ability, but who could have come into contact with the great formation on the boundary mountain between the righteous and the evil sides, and he also demonstrated a good level of formation skills.
He became one of the suspects. If it weren't for the presence of Patriarch Lu in the Senluo Sect, he might have been called back to the sect for questioning by now.
The questions from Senluo Sect were not ordinary questions. Senluo Sect used the large formation within the sect to call upon a trace of the power of the devil to test one's conscience. No one could lie in front of it.
However, the stronger the strength, the greater the risk of attracting the power of the devil. If Li Yuanba was a Jindan cultivator with no foundation, he might have already conducted a self-examination of the devil.
But even so, in recent times, both the three Jindan elders at the Jieshan checkpoint of the Senluo Sect and the three Jindan elders on the righteous side have been looking at Li Yuanba with strange eyes.
There is a deep fear in that. The better the relationship with Li Yuanba, the more he feels that this matter is related to Li Yuanba.
The cultivator's feeling was extremely accurate. If the six Jindan elders had not been linked to Li Yuanba by interests, they might have reported their suspicions long ago.
The reason they didn't do that was because Li Yuanba gave too much. Through Li Yuanba's channels, they could ask Master Li Shiming to make the elixir.
Not to mention the Jindan elders of the Senluo Sect, even the Jindan elders on the righteous side who came from the Shushan Sect could not ask Master Li to make pills at any time. In the Shushan Sect, only the Jindan cultivators of Elder Su's lineage had this treatment.
The other Jindan elders of Shushan Sect all need to wait in line, but Li Yuanba's channel allows him to jump the queue. Almost as long as he provides the alchemy materials, a third-grade high-level elixir will be delivered within a week.
This kind of interest relationship is more solid than simple friendship and less likely to be betrayed.
Even if they betrayed Li Yuanba, it would only deepen the suspicion, and they would gain more than they lost.
It took a full month for the impact of this incident to gradually subside.
But just as the impact had subsided, another piece of news heated up the incident of the attack on Chiba Temple again.
News came from somewhere that Venerable Hui Jing was seriously injured in the attack.
The source of this news is untraceable, but since the matter involves the level of the Nascent Soul Ancestor, it is almost impossible that it is false.
Because no one dared to spread rumors about the Yuanying ancestor, especially a Yuanying ancestor from a big sect.
After the news came out, Qianye Temple did not come out to refute the rumor, which further confirmed the authenticity of the news.
After this news came out, Li Yuanba, who was originally suspected by many people, was no longer doubted by anyone.
No cultivator believed that Li Yuanba could injure Venerable Hui Jing, and instead, Patriarch Lu became the biggest suspect.
It is only too normal for an old devil like Patriarch Lu to think of ways to take revenge right after he had a fight with Venerable Hui Jing.
Patriarch Lu ignored the rumors outside. In fact, as the investigation into the Qianye Temple attack deepened, the six major sects all discovered that the attack was largely accidental.
The actual power of the rocket is just three "Thunder Cloud Spells" plus a rain of fire.
The place that was attacked happened to be the residence of an ordinary monk of Chiba Temple. In addition, Chiba Temple had never expected that there would be an attack in the temple and was not prepared at all, which led to the rocket causing such results.
If Rocket were to strike again, it would attack the gate of any major sect.
Large sects that are well prepared will mobilize the power of formations to forcibly intercept rockets when they approach.
The sect protection formation does not only have defensive capabilities, but can also actively attack under the control of the formation master.
Of course, the mountain gate had been peaceful for too long, nearly tens of thousands of years, which had caused the mages on duty at the mountain gate's protective formation to lose their vigilance.
The biggest loss to Chiba Temple did not come from the rockets, or not directly from the rockets, but from the sudden mental demon of Venerable Hui Jing.
Compared to Venerable Hui Jing's inner demon which only destroyed an already damaged area, in history, the losses caused to Nascent Soul ancestors by their inner demons far exceeded that of Venerable Hui Jing.
Li Shiming stared blankly at the information sent by Beishu Trading Company, which included the latest news about the attack on Qianye Temple.
He seldom participated in the sect's internal affairs, so the sect's knowledge of the attack on Chiba Temple was not reported to him.
However, the intelligence system of Beishu Trading Company is no worse than that of the six major sects. As an important guest of Beishu Trading Company, Beishu Trading Company will proactively send intelligence on major events in Beishu Continent every once in a while.
When Li Shiming saw that Venerable Hui Jing had an inner demon, he didn't need to look too much to guess that Venerable Hui Jing's inner demon was related to his clone Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba used a drone to discover the two great arhat disciples of Venerable Hui Jing, who were killed by Patriarch Lu.
For this reason, Venerable Hui Jing was so angry that he went to find Patriarch Lu in person, and the two sides fought. It is estimated that it was at that time that Venerable Hui Jing had already planted the seeds of the devil in his heart.
The rocket attack on Chiba Temple was the catalyst for the inner demons of Venerable Hui Jing.
Li Shiming suddenly burst into laughter. At the same time, his clone Li Yuanba also burst into laughter in his own training room.
They had been bullied by Chiba Temple all along, but after learning that Chiba Temple had suffered revenge far beyond their imagination, their mood improved and they felt refreshed.
Even the realm of the two of them had a small improvement. If they were not still some distance away from the peak of the early Jindan stage, they all doubted that they could directly break through to the middle Jindan stage with their current state.
Li Shiming smiled for a while, and then he called up a picture through his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15.
One part of his brain has been focusing on this picture, and one part of the picture is exactly where the old ancestor Weng Zhao is hiding.
It is not only the home of ancestor Weng Zhao, but it is also an important stronghold of Tianxing Trading Company.
At this time, Patriarch Weng Zhao was just coming out of that stronghold. The reason why he was recognized at a glance was that the current drone satellite system has a very high pixel camera and can already identify his identity by his posture.
Of course, this has a prerequisite, that is, this person's posture has been collected before.
Patriarch Weng Zhao is still flying at the speed of a Jindan stage cultivator, and it seems that he is still hiding his strength.
Li Shiming's brain quickly determined where Elder Weng Zhao might be going based on his direction of travel.
The person who could make Patriarch Weng Zhao come out personally should not be an unknown person.
Since Patriarch Weng Zhao was unaware that he was being monitored, the direction in which he was moving must be related to his target.
After some judgment, Li Shiming saw a familiar name in this direction.
The Wanfo Temple is a Buddhist sect that is considered to be above average in the Northern Shu Continent.
But there is not only one Wanfo Temple. As far as he knows, there was already a Wanfo Temple on Tianhai Island when he was on the island. At that time, he heard that the Wanfo Temple on Tianhai Island had the means to communicate with other continents, and the contact object was the Wanfo Temple on Beishu Continent.
He became interested in the Wanfo Temple. You know, even the six major sects did not establish branches on islands or continents in other places, but the Wanfo Temple could.
In addition, the Wanfo Temple only exists in Beishu Continent and Tianhai Island, or are there Wanfo Temples in other continents?
Anyway, in the direction of Patriarch Weng Zhao's movement, Wanfo Temple was the only target suspected by Li Shiming.
Li Shiming thought about it, took out his identity jade disc, and sent a message to his master, Elder Su.
The content of the message was to inform the master that he had obtained information about the Yuanying ancestor of Tianxing Trading Company from a cultivator who had received his favor, and that the Yuanying ancestor had appeared in Wanfo Temple.
Elder Su did not doubt the news about his disciple. His disciple now had a larger network of relationships in the Northern Shu Continent than he did. Whether it was the Jindan elders of the major sects, or the Jindan cultivators in the small and medium-sized sects and among the independent cultivators, all had relationships with his disciple.
The relationship between Li Shiming and those Jindan cultivators was not equal. Those Jindan cultivators were actively trying to curry favor with Li Shiming.
The news that Li Shiming had been attacked by the Yuanying Patriarch had also spread in the world of immortal cultivation. This was mainly due to the saying about Li Shiming's good fortune, and the attack by the Yuanying Patriarch was only a proof of how good Li Shiming's fortune was.
If there really was a cultivator who discovered the whereabouts of the Yuanying ancestor of Tianxing Trading Company, he might really tell him the news in order to please Li Shiming.
Not long after, Li Shiming saw Ancestor Zuo flying out of the mountain gate through the drone satellite system.
Ancestor Zuo's trip did not cause fluctuations in the surrounding space like his last time. From the images transmitted from the drone satellite system, Ancestor Zuo's figure could be clearly seen.
Patriarch Zuo restrained his own aura, and it seemed that he believed Li Shiming's information.
Li Shiming did not stay in the sect any longer. Although he could not participate in the battle of the Yuanying ancestor, he could bring some trouble to the ancestor Weng Zhao.
"Shiming is a Jindan cultivator after all, let him go!" Elder Su received the news from the sect's formation when Li Shiming left the mountain gate. He did not try to stop him, but just shook his head and sighed.
Although Li Shiming did not report the last battle he had with the twelve Jindan cultivators, four flying boats and traces of formations on the flying boats were found at the scene afterwards.
That is to say, at least four Jindan monks participated in that battle, and the flying boat was left behind, so the Jindan monks were naturally killed by Li Shiming.
Li Shiming's fighting ability was proven by this, and Elder Su did not want to restrict Li Shiming's development too much.
Although good fortune has dangers, it is also very likely to bring benefits to Li Shiming. Look at Li Shiming's current achievements, which are also the result of good fortune.
