Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1671 - 882: Jade Pearl

Li Shiming departed from the ocean floor aboard a Fourth Grade Upper Stage Flying Boat called the ’Chasing Wind Dragon Boat’.

Since he revealed the aura of a Sword Cultivator, during his time in the Divine Palace alongside the six Peak Great Cultivators, he had never revealed any abilities beyond those of a Thunder Cultivator.

While employing the ’Traceless Illusion Sword’ to kill Grandmaster Leng Hong, Master Qiu Zhi barely sensed anything and remained unaware that Li Shiming was a Sword Cultivator as well.

A key factor aiding his concealed identity lies in the exceptional nature of the ’Heavenly Human Technique’, which transforms ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ into flawless Gold Element Spiritual Power typical of a Sword Cultivator.

Within the Cultivation World, every cultivator’s aura carries a distinct quality, blending seamlessly with their practiced cultivation technique to create a signature identifiable aura.

Indeed, countless cultivators across the Cultivation World can recognize fellow cultivators solely by their aura, without glancing at their faces.

Li Shiming stands out as a rare exception. Earlier, he had shifted ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ into Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power, posing as a Thunder Cultivator.

Currently, by shifting ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ into the Gold Element Spiritual Power from the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’, and deliberately releasing ’Chaos Sword Intent’, all would perceive him as a true Sword Cultivator.

This enabled him to merge seamlessly with the sea-searching cultivators. Some rode flying boats, others utilized various flying artifacts.

These cultivators hardly got along; clashes erupted frequently.

In the midst of such turmoil, Li Shiming grasped the opportunity to slip into the group of searching cultivators, posing as just another unremarkable Great Cultivator.

The ’Chasing Wind Dragon Boat’ appeared rather showy, yet Li Shiming believed that even the most dazzling Fourth Grade Upper Stage Quality Flying Boat remained quite ordinary.

He directed it toward the closest archipelago in the ’Cloud Island Sea’ as shown on the map.

The ’Chasing Wind Dragon Boat’ moved at a moderate pace; like fellow cultivators, he scanned the area while flying low. Though some probed his presence and detected his Sword Cultivator aura, they took no further steps.

Disciples from the sects of those six Peak Great Cultivators wouldn’t dare provoke a Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator without cause.

From the fleeing Master Qiu Zhi, they knew Li Shiming as a Thunder Cultivator, with his aura already featured in warrants circulated widely among cultivators.

As a result, hordes of cultivators arrived, including many at merely Nascent Soul Middle Stage, drawn by the enticing rewards.

Master Qiu Zhi reported that Li Shiming had instantly killed two Demon Cultivators, and the deaths of three Righteous Path Great Cultivators were probably linked to him too.

The five Peak Great Cultivators possessed fortunes beyond imagination—not just their personal Spiritual Objects, but also the valuable Great Cultivator resources they extracted from the Divine Palace.

Should any Nascent Soul Cultivator acquire those Great Cultivator resources, their path to Peak Great Cultivator would be smooth, and they could amass incredible legacies for their descendants.

News of warrants from multiple sects drew even ineligible cultivators to these waters, alongside those eager to claim the Divine Palace’s Great Cultivator resources—all hunting for Li Shiming.

Regrettably, despite their numbers, none noticed Li Shiming slipping away right among them.

Li Shiming traveled quite relaxedly, lounging in the ’Chasing Wind Dragon Boat’, enjoying Spiritual Tea as he watched cultivators fly by.

By sensing their auras, he gauged the overall caliber of cultivators in the ’Cloud Island Sea’.

As fewer cultivators appeared around the ’Chasing Wind Dragon Boat’, signaling his exit from crowded zones, he ramped up the spiritual power input, greatly accelerating its velocity.

Several days later, once IBMz15 lost connection to the drone satellite, monitoring the Divine Palace area became impossible.

The ’Cloud Island Sea’ spanned an enormous area, and his onboard drones fell short of blanketing the whole region.

Besides, his time in the ’Cloud Island Sea’ wouldn’t surpass twenty years; even with ample drones, completing full surveillance would coincide with his departure.

Hence, he had no intention of setting up a drone satellite network across the ’Cloud Island Sea’, opting instead for occasional drone satellite launches for scouting.

At last, he reached the ’Yuzhu Islands’, a sea cluster that stunned him even from afar.

Approaching nearer, he ceased using ’Divine Eyesight’ and relied solely on normal vision to behold the sight.

The map depicted the ’Yuzhu Islands’ as thirty-six nearly identical round islands arranged into a natural great formation.

Spotting the ’Yuzhu Islands’ on the map had shocked him initially—thirty-six round islands in a natural great formation defied odds, yet here they were.

Such occurrences weren’t unique in the ’Cloud Island Sea’; numerous island groups formed natural formations similarly.

Nevertheless, witnessing the ’Yuzhu Islands’ firsthand filled him with awe once more.

Every island of the ’Yuzhu Islands’ was enveloped in clouds and fog, revealing hollow interiors hidden below the mist.
