Luo Yuanda stood quietly on the top of the mountain. It was a rare occasion for him to step out of his Yuqing Cave and use his real body to watch the gate of Yuqing Sect.
In recent years, he has witnessed the decline of the Yuqing Sect.
As a powerful man with a long life, he does not care about the temporary rise and fall of Yuqing Sect.
Even if the Yuqing Sect declines for a period of time, as long as it recovers after hundreds of years and has enough great monks, the territories and resource points that were originally robbed will be returned.
The Yuqing Sect has existed for more than ten thousand years, so how could it be so easy to perish?
The only thing that Luo Yuan cares about is Li Shiming, and as Li Shiming's strength increases and his abilities continue to be revealed, his worries grow.
How could he not see that a cultivator with such talent as Li Shiming would be fine if he did not advance to the level of a great master? But if he really did advance to the level of a great master, it would bring great harm to the Yuqing Sect.
Judging from the talent Li Shiming has shown so far, the probability of Li Shiming being promoted to a powerful person is very high.
Although Master Luo Yuan did not know what kind of opportunity Li Shiming had obtained, he could be sure of one thing, that is, the martial arts practiced by Li Shiming must be a top-notch martial arts.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Shiming, who came from a large sect, to have his current combat power.
Li Shiming, with his status as a top great cultivator, suppressed all the great cultivators in the entire world of immortal cultivation. This reputation was built on the corpses of many top great cultivators.
Among them was the great monk Wang He from the Yuqing Sect. It was because of his continuous killing of many top monks that Li Shiming established his reputation for being extremely powerful and enabled the Wanshou Sect to easily occupy the entire Dongqi Continent.
Luo Yuanda thought of a previous incident when he sent his clone to capture Li Shiming. At that time, Li Shiming used a strange space jump to escape.
He didn't believe that Li Shiming could still display that strange space jumping ability, but he couldn't send another clone to capture Li Shiming.
Thinking of this, he was also very helpless. Li Shiming's unparalleled alchemy ability made many super powers choose to protect Li Shiming. Many powerful people contacted him directly, and all of them did not allow him to break the rules and go to Dongqi Continent.
Luo Yuan suddenly felt something in his heart, and his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
Then he appeared in a small cave, which had a faint aura of death.
"Ancestor Luo!" An old voice came from the mouth of a cultivator floating in the cave.
The great master Luo Yuan looked at the half-step great master named Lian Lei, and a look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
He vaguely remembered how full of energy and ambition Lian Lei had been before he went into seclusion, thinking about becoming the new great man of Yuqing Sect.
But after more than two thousand years of seclusion, Lian Lei in front of him looked haggard, and he could even feel that Lian Lei's life was coming to an end.
"Lian Lei, you still haven't taken this step!" Luo Yuan shook his head and said.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you!" Lian Lei said in a deep voice with a bitter smile.
"You still have two years to live. What are your wishes or plans?" Luo Yuanda asked.
As for Lian Lei's lifespan, both he and Lian Lei himself knew it very well, and there was no need to be shy about it.
"How can I have any wishes? The monks I knew have long turned into dry bones!" Lian Lei was not afraid of death, he said lightly.
"In that case, the sect needs your help with something." Great Monk Luo Yuan said after thinking for a while.
He took out a jade slip and threw it to Lian Lei.
Lian Lei was slightly startled. Although he was a half-step great power, in his memory, the Yuqing Sect was such a powerful super force that a half-step great power would never get involved in the affairs of the outside world.
When he saw the contents of the jade slip in his hand, his eyes widened, and his originally desperate mood was stirred up again by the contents of the jade slip.
"Ancestor, this Li Shizhen can actually kill the half-step great power Yang Xing, how is this possible?" He asked in surprise when he saw one of the passages.
You can't blame him for being shocked. As a half-step great power, he knew the power caused by the attack of a half-step great power.
He didn't expect that in order to deal with Li Shiming, the great master Luo Yuan dispatched great monks, peak great monks, half-step great masters, and even the great master's clones, but still failed to solve the problem of Li Shiming.
"I have analyzed Yang Xing's situation. It should be Yang Xing's own problem. I have personally come into contact with Li Shizhen and sensed his combat power. Even if he exerts his full combat power, he will not be able to kill Yang Xing!" Luo Yuan thought for a moment and replied.
The reason why he needed to think about it was that he was comparing Li Shiming's combat power. The combat power that Li Shiming had shown at the time was beyond his imagination.
However, Li Shiming was only in the middle stage of the great cultivator at that time. Even if he used his full strength in thunder magic, he would not be able to hurt Yang Xing. He was sure of this.
Then there is only one possibility for Yang Xing's death, that is, there is something wrong with Yang Xing himself.
Yang Xing is different from Lian Lei. Yang Xing has just entered the stage of half-step great power and has not yet been able to stabilize his own state. Although he can take action at this time, the instability of his own state also poses many hidden dangers.
"I understand. Let a cultivator take my cave to Dongqi Continent. I will capture Li Shizhen and bring him back alive!" Lian Lei said after putting down the jade slip.
The current decline of Yuqing Sect is caused by Li Shiming.
Li Shiming has information about Luo Yuan's most valuable treasure, the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', so it would be best to capture him alive.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Luo Yuan said with a long sigh.
Asking a half-step great master who is about to die to take action, if such a thing had not happened to happen, he would never have proposed it.
"The sect has trained me, and I should give back to the sect. This is my final return!" Lian Lei said with a calm smile.
Three days later, Su Tong, a great monk from Yuqing Sect, quietly left Yuqing Sect. He concealed his identity, bought a ticket for Zhongzhou Trading Company's long-distance flying boat, and borrowed the Zhongzhou Trading Company's long-distance flying boat to leave Xiyan Continent.
Li Shiming's phantom clone was currently sitting in the Baolian Hall of the Tianren Cave Heaven, using the environment in which the original Li Shiming was practicing.
After a period of adjustment, the phantom clone of the Nascent Soul and the energy body are undergoing strange changes.
When Li Shiming discovered this, he let his phantom clone enter the Baolian Hall, using the most abundant spiritual environment of the Baolian Hall to provide more energy support for the changes of the phantom clone.
The body of the phantom clone sitting there felt completely like a real physical body, without the sense of nothingness of the previous energy body.
Since the Nascent Soul entered the body, this Nascent Soul not only provided spiritual support for the phantom clone, but also gave birth to a special energy.
This energy nourishes the body of the phantom clone, causing this completely energized body to undergo substantial changes.
This was a change that had never appeared in any classics. Li Shiming had long known that the Nascent Soul promoted the strengthening of the physical body, but it was the first time he had discovered that the energy of the phantom clone could be transformed into a real physical body.
As the Nascent Soul in the phantom's body absorbed the spiritual energy around it, more and more special energy nourished this body.
The materialized body also has a problem that it did not have before. That is, before, it could transform the body into a robe through energy, but now it is no longer possible to transform the body into a robe, because the body has almost the characteristics of a monk's physical body.
For this purpose, Li Shiming found a top-grade fourth-grade robe for his phantom clone to avoid the embarrassment of having no clothes to wear.
The phantom clone opened his eyes, stood up, took out a flying sword from the soul crystal ring, and used the flying sword to cut a line on his arm.
There was a thin wound on his arm, and blood was oozing out of the wound.
He got some blood on his hands and scanned the blood with his spiritual sense. This blood, produced by the transformation of the body through the special energy of the Nascent Soul, contained the energy of a peak great cultivator.
But he was 100% sure that this blood was completely different from his original body's blood, and it was not even the blood he should have.
According to IBMz15's analysis, this blood is the blood of Great Monk Hua Ying, and even his entire body is transformed from the flesh and blood of Great Monk Hua Ying.
If the face of the phantom clone had not been solidified on the appearance of the original body Li Shiming, perhaps at this time even his face would have been that of the great monk Hua Ying.
"What a wonderful change!" Li Shiming exclaimed in amazement.
Although the changes in this body were beyond his expectations, the clone becoming a real body brought him more benefits.
You must know that once this clone becomes a real physical body, a physical body with a Nascent Soul, it will directly become a peak great cultivator.
At least while the clone Li Yuanba is still in seclusion for cultivation, this phantom clone can do many things on his behalf.
"Huan, why do I feel like you have changed?" Yin Shilan saw the phantom clone, and she recognized it at a glance as the phantom clone, not Li Shiming's real body.
"Lan'er, how did you recognize it?" Li Shiming was a little surprised. Ever since the phantom clone had a physical body, he thought that there was not much difference between the phantom clone and the original body in appearance, but Yin Shilan recognized it at a glance.
"Shiming has an aura close to the nature of heaven and earth, but Huan doesn't have that. It's just that this time when I saw Huan, I felt that Huan had a hint of water aura, just like a real cultivator!" Yin Shilan replied with some confusion.
Li Shiming couldn't help but praise Yin Shilan's perception, but considering that Yin Shilan was probably the person who knew him best in the entire cultivation world, it was normal for Yin Shilan to discover the difference between the phantom clone and the real Li Shiming.
As for the hint of water aura on the phantom clone's body, it was probably the aura of the physical body of the great monk Hua Ying, who was transformed from his Nascent Soul stage.
Great Monk Hua Ying is a great monk of the water element, and the enhanced physical energy generated by his Nascent Soul is naturally of the water element.
In order to verify this idea, Li Shiming asked the phantom clone to contact his master, Master Hu, and several other great monks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. These great monks, including Master Hu, did not discover the true identity of the phantom clone.
Perhaps it was because of the phantom clone's idle behavior that Master Hu found an opportunity.
Master Hu asked his phantom clone to check various places in the Dongqi Continent. With Li Shiming's presence, it was enough to suppress all the monks with ulterior motives.
The three current branches are the original mountain gates of the three major sects.
Some cultivators who originally belonged to the three major sects were incorporated into the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Although this allowed the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to develop in a short period of time, it also brought some hidden dangers.
In the past, Li Shiming would never get involved in such affairs. In his opinion, these affairs of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were all trivial matters.
As long as his own strength is sufficient, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will not be in any major trouble.
But now it is different. The phantom clone can completely replace the original body, and even the top leaders of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect believe that the phantom clone is his original body. So to let the clone do things, he only needs to separate one brain from the 191 brains to control the phantom clone.
Great monk Su Tong came to the Dongqi Continent, and the Yuqing Sect prepared for him the identity of a great monk who was a casual cultivator.
This person does exist, but this great independent cultivator is actually a member of Yuqing Sect's peripheral forces.
After getting off the Zhongzhou Trading Company's long-distance flying boat, he did not attract much attention due to the good relationship between Zhongzhou Trading Company and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
Of course, this is also related to the shortage of manpower in the Wanshou Sect, especially the lack of great monks, which makes it impossible for the Wanshou Sect to do everything after occupying the Dongqi Continent.
Managing the Dongqi Continent is a long process. It may take hundreds of years of management to truly control the Dongqi Continent and integrate the Wanshou Beast with the Dongqi Continent.
Great Monk Su Tong took out a contact card. There was a contact person on the card. This was an intelligence point left here by the Yuqing Sect, and it was also the only intelligence point left.
Soon, he obtained some information from the contact card, and one piece of information made his eyes light up.
Li Shizhen will go to the Yanri branch sect with Master Hu, and has also invited some small and medium-sized forces near the Yanri branch sect to meet at the Yanri branch sect.
Great Monk Su Tong felt that everything was going extremely smoothly, and even God was helping him.
You should know that before coming, he had read Li Shiming's information and knew that Li Shiming was an extremely rare cultivator.
He had thought of several ways to meet Li Shiming, but it was hard to say whether they would be successful.
It is said that when Guiyuan Sect met Li Shiming, they only met Li Shiming's clone, not to mention ordinary great monks.
"You brought this upon yourself!" Great Monk Su Tong muttered to himself.
He immediately set off and flew towards the Wanshou Sect's Yanri branch. He needed to be prepared before Li Shizhen arrived at the Yanri branch.
In fact, as soon as he appeared in the Dongqi Continent, he was discovered by the drone satellite system.
However, Li Shiming no longer needed the vigilance of ordinary great monks, so even if the drone satellite system discovered the newly appeared great monk, it did not issue a warning.
This cannot be blamed on Li Shiming. Not to mention ordinary great cultivators, even the top great cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation are no match for Li Shiming. Apart from the powerful ones, there are almost no enemies that he really needs to pay attention to.
Most of Li Shiming's brain was used to comprehend the realm, and more than 90% of the computing power of IBMz15 was used to analyze the "Spiritual Tablet".
