Patriarch Weng Zhao had a severe headache, a feeling he had rarely experienced since he began cultivating immortality.
He had lost his direction long ago, which was unimaginable for a cultivator, especially one in the Nascent Soul stage.
But it was normal for him at this time.
The only thing on his mind was getting rid of the pursuit from behind, and he didn't care where he went. As long as he didn't force his way into the large formation separating the righteous and evil forces, the rest of the places were the territory of the righteous forces, and they were all the same to him.
There are no friends anywhere, and anyone who is discovered will be an enemy.
Just as he was frowning, he sensed two Jindan monks appeared in front of him.
A fierce look flashed in Patriarch Weng Zhao's eyes. He discovered the identities of the two Jindan-stage cultivators. They were two Arhats. Arhat was the name given to Jindan-stage cultivators by the Buddhist sect, to distinguish them from the Taoist and Demonic sects.
He took out the jade map and checked the terrain, and found that he was about to approach the thousand-mile radius of Qianye Temple.
Needless to say, these two Arhats are the Arhats of Qianye Temple. Patriarch Weng Zhao guessed that the people following him were most likely monks from Qianye Temple, so he looked like that after seeing the Arhats of Qianye Temple.
He looked at the two Arhats and a thought flashed through his mind.
He didn't want to kill the two Arhats, but he also had no intention of letting them go.
His figure flashed and appeared beside the two arhats. Since this place was close to Qianye Temple, a distance of a thousand miles seemed very far, but if the venerables of Qianye Temple attacked, especially the venerable Huike who mastered the supernatural power of flying, they could arrive in a moment.
Therefore, Patriarch Weng Zhao only used the strength of the Jindan stage, but the secret techniques he mastered and other means besides the realm were far beyond the reach of two ordinary Arhats.
As soon as he appeared, the two fireballs in his hands hit the two Arhats. The two Arhats were hit by the fireballs before they could activate their defensive magic weapons.
The two Arhats only felt that their whole bodies were being burned by high temperatures. The golden elixirs in their bodies could not be mobilized and they could not move at all.
After Patriarch Weng Zhao took action, he knew the result. The two Arhats did not die, but their bodies were penetrated by his flames. Their life and death were just a matter of his thought.
He turned and walked away, but stopped five miles away from the two Arhats.
He hesitated slightly, but made up his mind.
He needed to lure the person who was tracking him to appear. If the other party was indeed from Chiba Temple, then the other party would definitely go to rescue the two Arhats.
Even if the other party was not from Chiba Temple, he had prepared a bigger bait for him.
He took out the fourth-grade formation plate, activated it, and sat inside the formation.
He slowly closed his eyes, and a little man jumped out from above his head. The little man was his Nascent Soul.
After the Nascent Soul appeared, it did not cause much change in the aura. This place was too close to Qianye Temple, and he did not want to lure out the venerable of Qianye Temple, so he used a secret method to hide the aura of the Nascent Soul.
In Yuanying's hand, he held a fiery red sword, which was his natal magic weapon.
His Nascent Soul is not a fake one. A real Nascent Soul can carry magic weapons. However, the magic weapons that the Nascent Soul can use depend on the realm of the cultivator.
With Patriarch Weng Zhao’s realm, his Nascent Soul can only carry his own magic weapon.
But this is enough. Holding the fourth-grade magical sword, with the speed of the Nascent Soul, he can easily kill it as long as he does not encounter the Nascent Soul ancestor. The most important thing is that he is confident that as long as the enemy gets close to a certain distance, the speed of the Nascent Soul can make the enemy have nowhere to escape.
In addition, if there is any movement in Qianye Temple, which is only a few miles away, the Nascent Soul can immediately return to the body, and he will have enough time to escape.
His second bait was himself, his original body. He left his original body here. If the fake infant monk came, his Nascent Soul holding the fourth-grade life-definition magic sword could attack from the side and he would definitely kill the fake infant monk on the spot.
No matter whether it is a fake infant cultivator or another pursuer, with the protection of the fourth-grade formation plate, there is no need to worry about any problems with the main body.
Patriarch Weng Zhao's Nascent Soul cast several spells at his original body, and the body's aura was also hidden.
The Nascent Soul passed through the fourth-grade formation and appeared between the two Arhats and the main body. Both the location of the two injured Arhats and the main body were only a little more than two miles away.
The trap has been set, and he knows that with the speed of the pursuers, they will arrive soon. Yuanying is like a hunter waiting for prey to fall into the trap.
Li Shiming had an aerial drone satellite system and saw clearly the actions of Patriarch Weng Zhao. The little Nascent Soul flew out of the formation, and he immediately understood what Patriarch Weng Zhao wanted to do.
He couldn't help but smile, as if his previous use of the life-saving talisman from Qianye Temple had caused some misunderstanding among Old Ancestor Weng Zhao.
He had two choices. One was to ignore Old Ancestor Weng Zhao. Old Ancestor Weng Zhao, whose Nascent Soul had left his body, would not be able to sustain this state for long.
When Patriarch Weng Zhao withdrew on his own, he continued to play the cat and mouse game with him.
Another option is to take some risks.
Now that Patriarch Weng Zhao's Nascent Soul has left his body, his original body has no protection at all.
Li Shiming had experience in dealing with this kind of situation. The last person who did this in front of him was Director Feng Yi. In his computer room, Director Feng Yi's fake infant body was still lying quietly.
"Done!" He gritted his teeth. The body of an old Yuanying ancestor was really a huge **.
Even if he doesn't use the Yuanying ancestor's body to transform it into his own combat power, just having a Yuanying ancestor's body for him to study can make his cultivation goals clearer.
The Nascent Soul stage is the ultimate goal of all cultivators, at least in the Northern Shu Continent.
Li Shiming admitted that he could not resist this bait. He also had something to rely on, and it was not just pure greed.
He changed direction and made a big detour to come to the side of Old Ancestor Weng Zhao's real body.
Thinking of how Patriarch Weng Zhao had severely injured two Arhats and set them as bait, Li Shiming changed into a hooded cloak that covered his entire body, including his head.
This cloak is a spiritual weapon that has the function of blocking divine detection.
This was originally a spiritual weapon designed by various auction houses in the world of immortal cultivation to protect the privacy of customers. Although it is just a spiritual weapon, after countless years of development, this type of spiritual weapon with a single function can be comparable to a magic weapon in terms of its effectiveness in preventing divine detection.
He then summoned three iron corpses and three cannons. This time the range of the cannons was set to fifty miles.
The shells were also extremely special, with a 'Thunder Cloud Talisman' placed inside the warhead.
Li Shiming didn't know whether the "Thunder Cloud Technique" could harm the Nascent Soul, but Patriarch Weng Zhao was seriously injured, and the "Thunder Cloud Technique" could at least harass the opponent.
He had already mastered the use of the Iron Corpse. It was because Elder Weng Zhao did not dare to get close to the Iron Corpse which might enter the promotion state and endure the golden elixir thunder tribulation at any time, so he did not have to worry about the Iron Corpse being destroyed.
Besides, now that he has found the best way to upgrade iron corpses to silver corpses, as long as he has time, he has the ability to train more silver corpses, so there is no need to regret the three iron corpses.
"Finally here!" Patriarch Weng Zhao's Nascent Soul sensed the incoming shells. The opponent's shells were not aimed at the main body, but at between the two Arhats and the main body, which was above the Nascent Soul's head.
He didn't know that Li Shiming wanted to save the two Arhats and used this method to block his real body.
Or maybe Li Shiming discovered the existence of Yuanying and intended to attack it in this way.
Just as he was thinking about it, the shells were approaching.
Then he sensed that the cannonball was different from the previous ones. When it approached the Nascent Soul, there was an obvious fluctuation of spiritual power within the cannonball.
The gathering of thunderclouds almost made him think that this was another Iron Corpse that was about to go through a thunder tribulation, but he soon discovered that this was a third-grade thunder spell, the 'Thunder Cloud Spell'.
The thunder triggered by the 'Thunder Cloud Technique' is completely different from the thunder of thunder tribulation.
The thunder of thunder tribulation is transformed by the rules of heaven and earth, while the thunder of "Thunder Cloud Technique" is ordinary thunder and lightning.
If Patriarch Weng Zhao's Nascent Soul had not been injured, he would not be afraid of this ordinary lightning, but he was indeed injured. After thinking about it, he flashed in the direction of the two injured Arhats.
This was the choice he made. He believed that Li Shiming's goal was most likely to save the two Arhats.
Besides, even if the judgment was wrong, the Nascent Soul could reach the distance of about five miles almost instantly.
Just when he reached the two injured Arhats, he sensed a slight fluctuation of spiritual power coming from the direction of his main body.
Originally, he shouldn't have discovered it until now. With his strength, even if the other party used some secret method to hide himself, he could still detect the other party from a farther distance.
However, the influence of the 'Thunder Cloud Technique' made his perception much worse. Being in the suppressed state, he was unable to achieve the perception of the Nascent Soul stage.
"I found you!" Patriarch Weng Zhao was not angry because he was deceived. Instead, there was a flash of excitement in his eyes.
He had been so frustrated during this period of time. Li Shiming was like a ghost hanging behind him, constantly causing him trouble, but he had been unable to find Li Shiming.
Now, Li Shiming finally showed up. Judging from perception, he is an early Jindan cultivator, not an iron corpse or a silver corpse.
"The divine power of walking on water, it's indeed the bald donkey from Qianye Temple!" Patriarch Weng Zhao then sensed the divine power of walking on water 'Lotus blooms with every step' used by Li Shiming.
A white lotus appeared next to the fourth-grade formation disk. Li Shiming's figure appeared at the same time as the white lotus appeared. His divine sense opened a channel on the formation of the fourth-grade formation disk.
According to Patriarch Weng Zhao's idea, this fourth-grade formation plate can at least stop Li Shiming for a period of time.
Even for the strongest formation master, it is not easy to break the fourth-grade formation.
But this does not include Li Shiming. His natal magic weapon, IBMz15, has unimaginable computing power, not to mention that this is an array plate, not a complete array arranged by the array master.
As soon as Li Shiming's spiritual thoughts came into contact with the formation, he grasped the spiritual power lines of the formation. He used the most brutal method to crack it, and forcibly used his spiritual thoughts to change the direction of the spiritual power lines of several formation nodes.
He had long known that Patriarch Weng Zhao had a fourth-grade formation disk. Patriarch Weng Zhao had set up a fourth-grade formation disk before. Although he did not get close to check it out, he was mentally prepared. Before approaching the formation, he activated the computing power of his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 to the maximum.
So in the end, he used 'Lotus Step by Step' to come to the fourth-grade formation plate, but his figure paused for a moment before he entered the formation.
As soon as Li Shiming entered the formation, he saw the real body of Patriarch Weng Zhao sitting motionless.
Because this Nascent Soul body was sealed by Patriarch Weng Zhao's own Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul's aura was suppressed inside its body.
So even though he was facing the Nascent Soul body this time, he was not suppressed to a certain extent by the False Infant body like he was the last time when he faced the False Infant body.
Perhaps Patriarch Weng Zhao did not seal the aura of the Nascent Soul body, and Li Shiming could have wasted a little more time here. In the current situation, Li Shiming's spiritual sense swept across the Nascent Soul body and put it into the computer room space.
Not only the Nascent Soul body, but also the fourth-grade formation plate was taken away.
After everything was done, his figure once again fled away under the support of the white lotus.
“No!” The Nascent Soul of Patriarch Weng Zhao let out a shrill cry.
There was a strong sense of regret in this cry. He should not have let his Nascent Soul leave his body. He had lost touch with his original body.
The moment he lost touch with his body, his mind went almost blank.
He couldn't imagine what kind of situation he would face after his Nascent Soul lost its body.
However, he quickly realized that the speed of the Nascent Soul was extremely fast. If he tried his best, he might still be able to catch up with the speed of 'Lotus Step by Step'.
But when he sensed Li Shiming's figure, he was stunned.
He knew about the ability to travel through the air, but Li Shiming's ability to travel through the air was very different from the one he knew.
The interval between each performance of the supernatural power of 'Lotus Blooms with Every Step' is extremely short.
But no matter how short the interval is, it should not be like the 'Lotus Step by Step' performed by Li Shiming in front of him, with no interval at all.
Li Shiming's figure was almost invisible. The time it took for him to flash every few hundred meters was too short. It was so short that if you didn't pay attention, you would not be able to see the moment when his figure appeared.
Patriarch Weng Zhao's Nascent Soul did not chase after him because it was simply unable to match such speed.
Moreover, after three breaths of time, a 'Thunder Cloud Spell' appeared on the pursuit route, and this 'Thunder Cloud Spell' seemed to have no need for preparation, and was continuously cast at a speed of three times per breath, blocking the route behind Li Shiming.
Even though Patriarch Weng Zhao's Nascent Soul has a secret method that can speed up the pursuit, he still needs to constantly fight against the "Thunder Cloud Technique".
This was Li Shiming's preparation. At this moment, the spiritual power of the five golden elixirs in his body was being consumed at an extremely fast rate.
He used his ten brains to perform the "Lotus Step by Step" skill at an almost extreme speed.
The one that consumed the most spiritual energy was the 'Thunder Cloud Technique'. He used thirty brains to activate the 'Thunder Cloud Technique' in sequence at a speed of once every one-third of a breath. In this way, except for the initial three breaths of preparation time, he could continue to activate the 'Thunder Cloud Technique'.
His spiritual power dropped almost straight down, but fortunately he was fast enough and soon escaped thousands miles away.
Through the drone satellite system, he saw that Patriarch Weng Zhao's Nascent Soul stayed where it was and did not chase him. He also saw that Qianye Temple was alarmed and some monks were rushing over.
