In Luanfeng Palace, on the second floor of Fengqi Hall, Yin Shilan looked at Li Shiming's 'phantom clone' with great concern.
Although the phantom clone made it clear that the original body was fine, Yin Shilan still kept an eye on the phantom clone whenever he had time, not only to inquire about Li Shiming's situation, but also because he was afraid that the phantom clone would disappear if he couldn't see it for a moment.
Although she didn't express her worry verbally, Li Shiming could still see it in her eyes.
Her worries deepened as she learned more about the world of immortal cultivation. After she learned how powerful Li Shiming was, she became deeply worried about the cultivator who could force Li Shiming to flee for his life.
Even the most powerful and peak cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage in the world of immortal cultivation was killed by Li Shiming in a two-on-one situation.
One can imagine how powerful the cultivator who was able to force Li Shiming away was. She even doubted whether the cultivator was the powerful person she had heard about in the rumors.
After joining the Luanfeng Palace, Yin Shilan learned from her master that the most powerful person in the Luanfeng Palace was a great master. It was because of the existence of this great master that the Luanfeng Palace became a super power and occupied enough resources for all the female practitioners in the Luanfeng Palace to practice.
Although Li Shiming disappeared and only his phantom clone remained, the attitude of Luanfeng Palace towards Yin Shilan did not change at all. Instead, they paid more attention to her.
This is not unrelated to the fact that Li Shiming successfully escaped from the hands of a powerful man. As long as Li Shiming does not die, Luanfeng Palace will still treat Yin Shilan as the most core cultivator.
The phantom clone was currently looking at the intelligence from the Dongqi Continent, which was collected for him by the Luanfeng Palace.
Although Li Shiming announced to the outside world that he was practicing in seclusion, some news still reached the ears of various forces in the Dongqi Continent, and some forces that were unwilling to be left out began to stir.
As soon as he saw the information, he realized that there must be some super power behind this.
Without the super power pushing behind the scenes, it would be impossible for the forces on Dongqi Continent to know about Li Shiming's escape from the continent.
It is even more impossible that any force would dare to attack the Wanshou Sect, which has the support of the Luanfeng Palace. The Luanfeng Palace has three great monks stationed in the Wanshou Sect.
He shook his head and didn't care about the small moves of those forces in Dongqi Continent. He sent the two late-stage golden corpses back to the Wanshou Sect.
The two late-stage golden corpses are able to be controlled by Li Shiming. With their powerful equipment, they can be easily defeated even if several peak monks come.
He was actually happy to see the instability in the Dongqi Continent. Let it be chaos. The Wanshou Sect only occupied three quarters of the Dongqi Continent. He only needed to wait for the rest of the forces to get involved. Then he could wipe out these forces in one fell swoop and bring all the territory of the Dongqi Continent under his control.
The Lotus Temple and the Yanri Sect were both influenced by super powers, but because Li Shiming was too powerful, they were forced to retreat to a small area under the powerful attack.
Judging from the intelligence, these two major sects are the most active.
The phantom clone had a faint smile on his face. He was almost certain that the supporters behind the Lotus Temple and the Yanri Sect must have the shadow of the Yuqing Sect and the Baidi Sect.
"It looks like there's going to be some trouble for the Yuqing Sect, and the Baidi Sect can't sit idle either!" the phantom clone thought.
"Huan, is there any good news?" Yin Shilan, who had been staring at the phantom clone, saw the smile on the phantom clone's face and she asked hurriedly.
The answers given to her by the phantom clone were always vague. In fact, it was not that Li Shiming did not want to make it clear, but that Li Shiming himself did not know whether Yundao Sea was the same world as Zhongzhou Continent or in another world.
Talking too much would make Yin Shilan even more worried. In addition, if Yundao Sea and Zhongzhou Continent were the same world, and the powerful people here also knew about Yundao Sea, it was possible that Luo Yuan from Yuqing Sect would chase him to Yundao Sea.
Li Shiming remembered that the teleportation ring was obtained from Yang Xing, a half-step great master of Yuqing Sect.
"It's good news. The original body has found a safe place and started to retreat. He will be back in about thirty years!" The phantom clone was embarrassed to say what he had thought before, so he answered Yin Shilan's question.
"Then I feel relieved!" Yin Shilan's face relaxed when she heard that Li Shiming had started to retreat.
During her time with Li Shiming, she witnessed Li Shiming's ability to cause trouble.
Li Shiming, who was at the level of a great cultivator, had attracted many powerful enemies in the world of immortal cultivation.
If Li Shiming fled to other places, he could still cause trouble. She was worried about how Li Shiming could come back alive.
Her worries were right. As soon as Li Shiming arrived at Yundao Sea, he offended all six super powers in Yundao Sea and even killed a half-step great power.
If Li Shiming had not chosen to go into seclusion, the Yundao Sea would probably not be so peaceful.
In the Dongqi Continent, the Lotus Temple and the Yanri Sect have been shrinking their power in recent years. They have lost a large amount of territory, and the resources they harvest each year are not enough to maintain the consumption of their current disciples.
The two major sects still have some accumulation, and the lack of resources is made up by the accumulation of previous years.
But such a thing cannot be carried out for a long time, and the two major sects also know this.
And just at the most difficult time, a superpower extended an olive branch to them.
The super powers that emerged included Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect, and there were also some super forces that supported them secretly, which were only known to the great monks of the two major sects.
After getting support, Lianhua Temple and Yanri Sect began to take action. Although they gave up a lot of territory, the intelligence forces they had previously deployed did not disappear.
Because the Wanshou Sect, with the strength of a large sect, forcibly swallowed up a sphere of influence that exceeded its own size, it was impossible for the Wanshou Sect to fully control the territory it occupied.
The expansion of the Myriad Beasts Sect not only squeezed the living environment of the Lotus Temple and the Yanri Sect, but also put some small and medium-sized sects on the brink of life and death.
When Lianhua Temple and Yanri Sect expressed their attitude of supporting small and medium-sized sects, these small and medium-sized sects also joined the action against Wanshou Sect.
Several months passed, and several great monks from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect sat together, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
"Brother Hu, the situation has been very wrong recently. There have been many attacks in the area I control, and the sect has suffered heavy losses there!" said Master Chai with a grim expression.
Master Hu looked at Master Chai's somewhat unstable aura and realized that Master Chai had been working hard in recent times.
"Let the Intelligence Department investigate what force did this. It seems we were too merciful in the beginning!" Monk Ding said bitterly.
Thinking about the instability that occurred in the Dongqi Continent not long after Li Shiming left, Master Ding felt his own incompetence.
The current situation of Dongqi Continent was created by Li Shiming. At the beginning, they allowed Lianhua Temple and Yanri Sect to survive because they did not want Dongqi Continent to lose too many powerful cultivators.
Originally, I thought that Li Shiming could suppress the Dongqi Continent for at least a thousand years. It wouldn't even take a thousand years, just a hundred years. By the time the Wanshou Sect had trained a few great monks, it would be enough to completely consolidate the territory occupied by the Wanshou Sect.
But no one expected that Li Shiming would have to leave Dongqi Continent in just such a short period of time, causing the forces that had not been completely suppressed at the beginning to show signs of rebounding.
"First withdraw the important resources back to the sect and guard the Taichu branch. As long as both the sect and the Taichu branch are fine, there is no need to worry about the rest!" Monk Hu waved his hand lightly and said.
In the Wanshou Sect, he was the only one who knew the backup plan left by Li Shiming. The two late-stage golden corpses were hidden in Li Shiming's cave.
The two late-stage golden corpses are terrifying existences that can fight against the peak great monks alone. With such powerful combat power in hand, the small actions of those forces are nothing but scabies to the great monk Hu.
As long as the super powers in the world of immortal cultivation do not intervene directly, he is not afraid of the actions of these forces at all.
"Shouldn't we fight back?" Master Ding was displeased when he heard this and asked loudly.
The Wanshou Sect became the largest sect in the Dongqi Continent, which gave him great confidence and made him look down on his former equal enemies. He believed that the best way to deal with the enemies was to fight back.
"Let them make trouble first. If they don't, how can we eradicate them from the root!" Monk Hu said lightly.
Several great monks looked at Great Monk Hu and began to guess the meaning of Great Monk Hu's words.
There is a mountain in Zhongzhou named Yuqing Mountain, which is the branch of Yuqing Sect in Zhongzhou.
Although it is called a branch sect, it is actually more like a base and does not have the function of a real branch sect.
It is impossible for the superpowers in Zhongzhou to allow the branch of Yuqing Sect to recruit disciples in Zhongzhou and pass on their skills here.
The Yuqing branch sect is mainly used to receive Yuqing sect's thunder cultivators who come to Zhongzhou continent and provide them with intelligence and other support.
Due to the fact that the strength of Yuqing Sect had greatly declined before, the Yuqing branch sect in Zhongzhou Continent became more important.
The Yuqing Sect sent out many great monks to privately contact the super powers in the Zhongzhou Continent through the Yuqing branch.
Even if the Yuqing Sect is now severely weakened, if such a superpower stands on one side, it will greatly enhance the strength of the superpower.
There has never been any real hatred in the world of immortal cultivation. Interests are the most important.
The Yuqing Sect's strength has declined and it will take at least a hundred years to recover. This meets the conditions for many superpowers to win it over, and the Yuqing Sect will not become powerful in a short period of time because of the winning over.
At this time, Li Yuanba was standing a hundred miles away from the Yuqing branch of the Zhongzhou mainland, observing the situation of the Yuqing branch.
He asked the Intelligence Department of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion to pay attention to Yuqing Sect, and the Intelligence Department handed over all the relevant information about Yuqing Sect to him.
He originally planned to go to the ocean to rob the Yuqing Sect's long-distance flying boat. You know, a long-distance flying boat is the lifeline of a force and one of its main sources of income.
When Yuqing Sect needs resources the most, robbing Yuqing Sect's long-distance flying boat would make Yuqing Sect's resource situation even worse.
But when he saw a piece of information, he changed his initial idea.
The intelligence mentioned that three great monks from the Yuqing Sect came to the Zhongzhou Continent from the Xiyan Continent.
According to the comparison of previous intelligence, these three great monks should be carrying out the mission of communicating with certain super powers.
The Intelligence Department also specifically stated that the gifts given by Yuqing Sect when communicating with certain super powers were extremely precious resources.
Li Yuanba did not care about the extremely precious resources. He was thinking about the three great monks. In addition, there was a great monk left behind in the Yuqing branch sect, which meant that there were four great monks in the Yuqing sect.
He believed that even if the Yuqing Sect had a great cause and had trained a large number of great monks, if four more great monks died, the Yuqing Sect would be powerless to do anything.
So he came, and his target was the four great thunder cultivators.
I'm afraid not many cultivators would believe that a newly promoted sword cultivator had set his sights on the four veteran thunder cultivators.
Moreover, the four great sword cultivators were still in the large formation. Although the formation of the Yuqing branch sect was far inferior to that of a real super power, it at least had the power of a large sect's formation.
Li Yuanba called upon his own life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 in his mind. He observed the formation in the distance through his 'Divine Eyes' and transmitted the observed data to IBMz15.
After analysis by IBMz15, the detailed information of this formation was transmitted into his mind.
He checked the detailed information of the formation, and his 'Divine Eyes' focused on a place in the formation, which was a special node where a short loophole would appear when energy flowed back.
This phenomenon is not a shortcoming of the formation. It is very normal. The shield formed by energy relies on the operation of the formation nodes, and there will always be nodes where energy flows back.
During the energy reflux, a small area without energy will appear, but this area is very small and exists for a very short time.
Not to mention whether there is any formation master who can accurately find the loophole in the energy reflux of this formation. Even if he can really find this loophole in the energy reflux, the cultivator will not be able to make effective use of it in such a short time.
But Li Yuanba is different. He has the computing power of IBM z15, which allows him to accurately know the timing of the energy reflux loophole, and "arrive in one fell swoop" also allows him to appear directly inside the formation from a hundred miles away.
By passing through the energy backflow loophole, you will not be restricted by the formation that isolates the space.
Li Yuanba's figure flashed and disappeared a hundred miles away, and then his figure appeared in the formation.
As soon as he entered the formation, he used "A World Away" again. This time, the space he used was to move to the core of the formation.
When his figure appeared inside the formation, the formation began to scan his identity.
He doesn't have much time left. As long as the formation discovers a cultivator with a questionable identity appearing inside, it will immediately sound the alarm, and his infiltration plan will fail.
By then, even if he could defeat the four great thunder cultivators, it would be difficult to keep all four of them.
