It’s uncertain if Master Ren Mu and Master Yan Gao have ever engaged in a battle, but their combat capabilities should be quite comparable.
As peak Great Cultivators of superpowers, even if there are so differences in strength, the gap between them wouldn’t be significant.
Li Shiming previously thought that after hearing of his victory over Master Ren Mu, Master Yan Gao would not co to Dongqi Continent to trouble him.
Although he had a deep grudge with the White Emperor Sect, if his strength were formidable enough, the White Emperor Sect would tacitly accept the situation.
It’s essential to know that the reason Li Shiming killed three Great Cultivators of the White Emperor Sect was because the sect initiated an attack against the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Li Shiming’s actions were justified, aligning with the rules of the Cultivation World.
He hadn’t expected that Master Yan Gao of the White Emperor Sect still ca. He needed to be cautious about any potential sches from Master Yan Gao.
Since his strength had already been exposed, Master Yan Gao daring to co showed he believed he had the power to annihilate him.
Fortunately, over ti, the drone satellite system covering Dongqi Continent was re-established, with even the near seas under satellite surveillance.
His natal treasure, the IBMz15, was tasked with monitoring the surveillance data from this drone satellite system constantly.
With his experience, even the most cautious cultivator would not conceal their aura when traveling over the ocean.
On the ocean, one must reveal their aura to intimidate potential spirit beast attacks and deter other cultivators with ill intentions.
Additionally, it’s unnecessary to conceal oneself on the ocean; if one truly wants to hide their actions, they should do so upon reaching the continent.
On the third day, Li Shiming received a warning from his natal treasure, the IBMz15. The surveillance footage showed two powerful, indistinct auras swiftly moving over the ocean.
"Two peak Great Cultivators, they are indeed well-prepared!" Li Shiming thought to himself, murmuring.
Peak Great Cultivators are not commonplace. Even among superpowers, active peak Great Cultivators are rare. So superpowers might have more than one peak Great Cultivator, but those are often in secluded cultivation.
Li Shiming wasn’t sure if the two arriving peak Great Cultivators were both from the White Emperor Sect, but one thing was certain: Master Yan Gao would be among them.
At this point in ti, aside from the White Emperor Sect, no other power would dispatch a peak Great Cultivator to Dongqi Continent.
Li Shiming sent a ssage to Grandmaster Hu, informing him of his brief departure.
Despite his elevated status within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he still showed sufficient respect to Grandmaster Hu, ensuring to notify him of any matters in advance.
Grandmaster Hu was unaware of his intentions and, upon receiving the ssage, paid no mind, believing no one could harm him given his displayed combat prowess.
Within Dongqi Continent, Li Shiming’s strength was unrivaled, surpassing that of major sects or even the local branches of superpowers.
Upon leaving, Li Shiming took away Great Cultivator Luo Pei. Though Luo Pei’s combat strength couldn’t intervene in that level of battle, the Heavenly Ghost was an extrely crucial force supplent. At critical monts, its presence was vital, so he naturally kept it by his side.
"What a pity!" he thought to himself, regretting that if he could have crafted five ’Thunderous Mysterious Bows,’ it would have had a significant impact in this battle.
Currently, he only possessed one ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow,’ whose power, in his present view, was diocre, falling short of his expectations, so he didn’t consider deploying it for use by the late-stage Golden Corpse.
Two small flying boats flew from a coastline onto the land of Dongqi Continent, with two Great Cultivators disembarking and then storing away the flying boats.
They did not move imdiately but instead tossed out an array plate, which upon landing, ford a Concealing Array.
The two Great Cultivators entered the Concealing Array, took out communication tokens, and began contacting their intelligence personnel stationed in Dongqi Continent to gather the latest intelligence.
One of the arriving Great Cultivators was indeed Master Yan Gao, and the other was Li Shiming’s old acquaintance, Master Wang He.
Li Shiming probably didn’t expect that the White Emperor Sect had collaborated with the Yuqing Sect, and the dispatched two peak Great Cultivators.
The two peak Great Cultivators had collaborated multiple tis before, boasting a seamless synergy.
"Brother Wang, who would’ve thought that we might one day join forces against a single Great Cultivator!" Master Yan Gao chuckled while shaking his head.
His initial plan was to co to Dongqi Continent alone, but due to so matters, the journey was delayed.
During this ti, he learned that Li Shiming had fairly won a battle against Master Ren Mu on Dongqi Continent.
Upon receiving this intelligence, the White Emperor Sect imdiately chose to collaborate with the Yuqing Sect, which had even bigger conflicts with Li Shiming than they did.
The Yuqing Sect was aware that Li Shiming possessed the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl,’ an invaluable treasure. If it weren’t for Li Shiming secluding himself afterward, the Yuqing Sect might have dispatched Master Wang He to capture Li Shiming.
When the White Emperor Sect reached out to the Yuqing Sect, the Yuqing Sect already harbored intentions against Li Shiming, leading to the decision to mobilize two peak Great Cultivators.
As for deploying other Great Cultivators, after consideration by the two superpowers, the plan was rejected.
According to the information returned, Li Shiming’s cultivation of the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’ made it possible for him to easily slay ordinary Great Cultivators post-advancent. Sending weaker Great Cultivators would likely lead to their demise.
The critical point was that the White Emperor Sect could no longer afford the loss of another Great Cultivator, as even the Yuqing Sect had suffered significant losses of Great Cultivators over the years.
In reality, the Yuqing Sect understood the reason behind Li Shiming’s formidable combat strength lay with the enhancent from the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl,’ which could almost elevate a Thunder Cultivator’s power by an entire major tier.
Although the Great Cultivator realm is rather unique, heavily influenced by rules, an early-stage Thunder Cultivator with the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ could certainly rival a peak Great Cultivator’s power.
"Brother Yan, do not underestimate Li Shizhen; his combat power is nearly on par with ours!" Master Wang He solemnly cautioned.
This ti, he was assigned the grand task of retrieving the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ and was determined not to fail again.
"I see, Li Shizhen cultivates the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’; it seems you’re aware of the reasons behind his sudden surge in power!" Master Yan Gao’s eyes flickered as he spoke thoughtfully.
During this ti, Master Yan Gao had also learned that the Yuqing Sect likely lost an extrely important treasure, though they kept its identity well-concealed.
Li Shiming’s rapid rise forced Master Yan Gao to suspect that this treasure was the source of Li Shiming’s sudden boost in strength.
"Li Shizhen is a genius Thunder Cultivator, with an exceptionally monstrous talent, unmatched in Yuqing Sect for millennia!" Master Wang He shook his head.
He was reluctant to ntion the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl,’ but he was sure it didn’t enhance a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner’s chance of advancing to a Great Cultivator.
Moreover, during cultivation, the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’s’ augntative effect was sowhat limited, primarily being a support treasure for attacks, with diocre effects in other areas.
In other words, Li Shiming’s swift advancent to the Great Cultivator Realm had no connection to possessing the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl.’
The only connection was that Li Shiming’s Great Cultivator realm combat strength was amplified by the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl,’ enabling him to slay multiple Great Cultivators.
Of course, this was solely Master Wang He’s assessnt; he hadn’t considered that Thunder Cultivation was rely one of Li Shiming’s many techniques. Li Shiming’s Sword Cultivator prowess was equally strong, and the strength enhancent from the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ wasn’t sothing he could fathom.
