Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1646 - 869: Teleportation_2

Regrettably, it confronts a Great Power Avatar that unleashes Cave Heaven Power in its assault, utterly beyond the endurance of the unmastered ’Ruyi Zhenyue Peak’.

The iceberg imprisoning Great Power Luo Yuan’s avatar shatters once the Thunder Rule Origin bursts forth.

Great Power Luo Yuan’s avatar soars out, wearing a malevolent grin as it charges toward Li Shiming.

Fury truly grips him; Li Shiming made him forfeit the Thunder Rule Origin, which he had reserved for critical moments as his ultimate contingency, and its actual depletion infuriates him deeply.

Though Li Shiming’s body lies numb, his mind remains mostly intact.

Witnessing Great Power Luo Yuan’s avatar draw near, he realizes capture by it would bring unthinkable doom.

Li Shiming recalls a certain treasure, just as his innate magic tool IBMz15 prompts him about this very artifact.

This was the teleportation ring seized from Half-step Great Power Yang Xing, which he had long investigated to uncover the destination of its internal coordinates.

Despite exhaustive analysis and cross-referencing, he failed to pinpoint the location linked by the spatial coordinates in the teleportation ring.

Yet through extended study, he concluded the teleportation ring boasted exceptional quality, an extraordinarily rare exotic treasure.

The spatial translocation it enabled surpassed anything he had ever examined in depth.

In this dire crisis, he casts aside concerns over potential hazards at the teleportation ring’s endpoint.

Half-step Great Power Yang Xing carried the teleportation ring personally, suggesting he had activated it before and survived the journey.

Li Shiming refuses to believe Half-step Great Power Yang Xing ignored the urge to test the teleportation ring.

He himself had intended to experiment with it once his cultivation advanced further.

To reach Half-step Great Power, Yang Xing undoubtedly enjoyed singular opportunities, and Li Shiming suspects the teleportation ring’s coordinates tied to one of Yang Xing’s fateful boons.

With no alternatives left, Li Shiming resolves to activate the teleportation ring.

His Divine Sense gently probes the teleportation ring on his finger, igniting the spatial coordinates embedded inside.

Spatial Energy erupts explosively from the teleportation ring, shrouding his form before compressing space around him, causing his body to vanish completely.

Detecting the spatial energy surge, Great Power Luo Yuan attempts to amplify his command over the Thunder Rule Origin to halt the activation, yet the effort proves utterly in vain.

He reaches the site of Li Shiming’s disappearance, extending a translucent palm to probe the empty spot left behind.

"Ancient space transference, the secrets on you are abundant!" he murmurs after a prolonged silence.

He remains unaware that this ancient space transference belonged not to Li Shiming’s secrets, but to Yuqing Sect’s Half-step Great Power Yang Xing.

Even the coveted Thunder Beast had been Yang Xing’s hidden asset.

Great Power Luo Yuan hovers motionless in the void, his mind clearing only after half an hour passes.

He senses Li Shiming is destined to emerge as his major threat.

Still, helplessness overwhelms him as he gazes at the vanishing point of Li Shiming.

This ancient space transference defies tracing, even if his true Great Power self were present.

He must simply await Li Shiming’s eventual return, until Yuqing Sect locates him once more.

Great Power Luo Yuan harbors no desire to confront Ten Thousand Beast Sect directly; he leaves that to Yuqing Sect’s cultivators.

Until Li Shiming resurfaces, he refrains from wiping out Ten Thousand Beast Sect or harming Li Shiming’s Daoist couple.

Should he eradicate Ten Thousand Beast Sect and eliminate Li Shiming’s Daoist couple, the unbound Li Shiming would prove even more elusive.

Concerning seizing Li Shiming’s Daoist couple for leverage, such an act would tarnish a Great Power’s esteemed name.

Eyeing his translucent form, he notes the severe energy drain within, compelling his retreat.

He cannot risk the avatar’s destruction, as it harbors shards of his soul.

Within a chamber of Fengqi Palace on Central State Continent, Li Shiming’s ’phantom doppelgänger’ remains statue-still, bereft of its former liveliness.

Yin Shilan converses with the ’phantom doppelgänger,’ recounting recent happenings—her cherished routine.

Though just an avatar, the ’phantom doppelgänger’ carries a fragment of Li Shiming’s soul, transmitting Yin Shilan’s words to the primary body while its responses stem from the main body’s control.

All unfolds as though Li Shiming himself were present, save for the absence of his corporeal form.

Yet today, unprecedentedly, the ’phantom doppelgänger’s expression shifts dramatically.

"Phantom, what’s wrong?" Yin Shilan questions upon spotting the irregularity.

‘Phantom’ serves as her name for the ’phantom doppelgänger,’ its persistent translucency helping her distinguish it from the true body.

Her question yields no reply; the ’phantom doppelgänger’ stays entranced and silent.

Anxiety grips her heart; her extensive studies in Luanyang Palace have schooled her as a core cultivator of a superpower, granting profound insight into energy avatars.

Such a condition in the ’phantom doppelgänger’ signals grave trouble for Li Shiming’s main body, impacting the avatar.

She refrains from contacting the ’phantom doppelgänger,’ merely observing it anxiously while awaiting revival.

Dissolution of the avatar terrifies her, for that would herald the main body’s demise.

Fortune smiles; the dreaded dissipation never transpires. After a spell of stupor, the ’phantom doppelgänger’s eyes sparkle with renewed vigor.

"What happened to Shiming?" Yin Shilan presses once more.

The ’phantom doppelgänger’s persistence confirms Li Shiming endures.

Nevertheless, this anomalous state bespeaks a monumental event—nothing lesser could provoke it.

"Lan’er, I’ve encountered a foe, triggered a long-range teleportation, everything is fine, but can’t return shortly, you should stay in Luanyang Palace, and not return to Ten Thousand Beast Sect!" the ’phantom doppelgänger’ declares.

No falsehoods for Yin Shilan; as his Daoist couple, she forms an inseparable part of his existence.

"I’ll stay at Luanyang Palace, but what about Ten Thousand Beast Sect?" Yin Shilan prioritizes not her own safety, but Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s welfare.

She grasps Li Shiming’s deep attachment to Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

His decision to align with Ten Thousand Beast Sect over Beishu Sect underscores his stronger bond there.

Beishu Sect offered only treachery and enmity toward Li Shiming, yet despite that, he repaid enmity with benevolence, bestowing immense resources and commerce paths.

This exhausts his lingering ties to Beishu Sect; he desires no further association.

As Li Shiming’s Daoist couple, Yin Shilan comprehends fully—Ten Thousand Beast Sect stands as his ultimate refuge.

"I will send two Late-stage Golden Corpses back to Ten Thousand Beast Sect. With them, nothing will happen!" the ’phantom doppelgänger’ vows.

Late-stage Golden Corpses exhibit notable intelligence, adept at managing numerous affairs autonomously.

Furthermore, despite Li Shiming’s distant relocation, soul links allow him to connect with his Spiritual Pet and bound artifacts, enabling cerebral oversight of the Late-stage Golden Corpses when needed.

Dispatching two Late-stage Golden Corpses to Ten Thousand Beast Sect ensures Li Shiming remains apprised of developments there.

Yin Shilan, secure in Luanyang Palace, cares little for the presence or absence of two extra Late-stage Golden Corpses; her safety there eclipses Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s.

At minimum, until Li Shiming’s main body returns, she ought to remain in Luanyang Palace.
