1206: Chapter 1206: Madam Linghu Overwheld with Surprises 1206: Chapter 1206: Madam Linghu Overwheld with Surprises Fang Bai embarked on a sea journey from Tiansheng Continent to Shenwu Continent.
Along the way, he had beco well-acquainted with Wu Rongshan and could not bear to watch him fall to Madam Linghu.
Thus, at the critical mont, he shouted out loud.
The strength of a Half-Step Innate Expert far surpassed that of a Cosmic Level Expert at perfection.
Although Fang Bai was capable of slaying Cosmic Level Experts at perfection, he had no confidence in contending against a Half-Step Innate Expert.
Therefore, after that roar, Fang Bai imdiately fled.
Before leaving, he deliberately provoked Madam Linghu, aiming to draw her pursuit onto himself, and thereby creating a sliver of a chance for Wu Rongshan.
As for whether he could escape death, that depended on Wu Rongshan’s own fortune.
Fang Bai moved like lightning; upon touching the ground, he turned into a shadow and was a kiloter away in an instant.
“Who is this brat daring to disrupt my cultivation?
You’re truly courting death!”
A woman’s furious shout suddenly rang by his ear; when the shout began, it was still atop the thousand-zhang high Immortal Mist Peak, but by the ti it had ceased, it had already reached the foot of the peak, the speed of which was astonishingly fast.
Fang Bai sensed a Martial Artist Aura rapidly approaching from behind and knew that Madam Linghu was catching up, with the distance between them quickly closing.
“It seems like I’ll have to go through a tough battle today if I want to break free.”
Fang Bai was self-aware.
He knew that with his current Cultivation Level, even if he exerted his full strength, he was no match for Madam Linghu, who possessed the Half-Step Innate Realm.
Escaping from her pursuit would not be easy.
Immortal Mist Peak was situated at the center of Misty Island, dozens of miles away from the seaside.
Previously, such a distance ant nothing to Fang Bai, but now with an infuriated, murderous Madam Linghu in pursuit, these dozens of miles felt incredibly long, as if he wished to reach the seashore imdiately.
Once he reached the seaside and leapt into the sea, then circulating the Water Elent Qi, Fang Bai could rge with the seawater and escape far away beneath the surface like a fish.
At that point, Madam Linghu would have no way to deal with him.
Although Madam Linghu was powerful, as a Wood Elent Martial Artist, she could use Wood Elent Qi to enhance her strength on land lush with vegetation.
However, in the sea surrounded by Water Elent Qi, her strength would be greatly limited, rendering her unable to exert even half of her full power.
It thus beca significantly harder for her to kill Fang Bai, who would be like a fish in water.
Therefore, the journey from Immortal Mist Peak to the seaside beca crucial for Fang Bai’s safe escape.
As long as Madam Linghu did not intercept him, Fang Bai had a chance to escape unscathed.
However, seeing Madam Linghu’s alarmingly fast speed in pursuit, instantly closing in, Fang Bai bitterly smiled, knowing that the situation wasn’t optimistic.
He could only fully circulate Wind Essence Qi and continue to dash forward, using the Dragon Soaring to the Heavens Technique.
Fang Bai had thousands of movent techniques stored in his mind, many of which were far more exquisite than the Dragon Soaring to the Heavens.
However, those techniques required more robust Essence Energy to sustain, and the current Fang Bai was unable to perform them.
The Dragon Soaring to the Heavens was the fastest technique he could execute at the mont and matched his current power level the best.
Fang Bai inwardly groaned, unbeknownst to him that Madam Linghu, who was closely pursuing him, was both surprised and delighted.
She was surprised that this escaping man appeared quite young, yet his strength was formidable, comparable to several of her subordinates in the Misty Island hierarchy with Universe Level power.
She was delighted because not only was the man a male, but the pure Essence Energy emanating from him indicated that he was one of the rare Innate Spiritual Roots among Martial Artists.
If she could perform the Evil Cultivation Technique and dual cultivate with him, it would yield doubly effective results.
To expedite the elevation of her own realm and cultivation level, Madam Linghu previously had her subordinates on Misty Island secretly watch passing martial artists.
If they spotted one with outstanding talent, they would capture them and bring them to the grand hall at the peak of Immortal Mist Peak, where they would forcefully engage in dual cultivation with her.
In recent years, Madam Linghu changed her strategy and began openly recruiting martial artists from Misty Island under the guise of a selection test for strength and talent.
This approach uncovered many martial artists with exceptional talent, whom Madam Linghu then ensnared using her evil techniques, making them willingly engage in dual cultivation with her.
The previous approach involved Madam Linghu coercing others into dual cultivation, but now they consented willingly, which naturally resulted in much more effective outcos.
However, what troubled Madam Linghu was that she most eagerly anticipated dual cultivating with martial artists possessing Innate Spiritual Roots.
These individuals, however, were exceedingly rare, one in a million, and finding them was no easy task.
With no other choice, Madam Linghu settled for the next best thing.
Among the martial artists passing through Misty Island, any decently talented and relatively handso man would be monitored by her subordinates, and any particularly outstanding ones would be reported to her.
Today, a subordinate reported that a ship from Weixiang Nation of Tiansheng Continent passing by Misty Island had several male martial artists on board with extraordinary talent, who might possess Innate Spiritual Roots.
Especially among them was a young, handso martial artist with considerable strength, who might also be an alchemist with both Wood and Fire Innate Spiritual Roots.
Overjoyed by the news, Madam Linghu knew that if it were true, utilizing those with Innate Spiritual Roots for cultivation would be akin to consuming high-rank Spirit Pills, potentially allowing her to blast through her bottleneck and achieve the dreamt-of Innate Realm.
Millions of martial artists in this world believe that the Universe Level is the peak of Martial Dao, where one not only reigns supre in the True Martial Realm but also adds decades to their lifespan.
However, the vast majority of martial artists are unaware that beyond the Universe Level in the Martial Dao Realm lies the Innate.
Innate Experts will manifest Divine Sense, undergoing a qualitative leap in strength and completely overpowering Universe Level Experts.
Madam Linghu herself was exceptionally talented and had been a Universe Level Expert decades ago.
She had fallen in love with an Innate Martial Artist, who thoroughly guided her, leading to rapid progress in her strength and elevating her to a Half-Step Innate Expert.
Later on, Madam Linghu accidentally obtained an Evil Cultivation Technique that advanced one’s rank through absorbing the Essence Energy of male martial artists.
She beca addicted to it and could not extricate herself.
The Innate Expert who loved Madam Linghu tried to dissuade her ti and again but eventually left her in a rage.
From love to hate, Madam Linghu’s personality dramatically changed.
She cultivated the evil technique even more fanatically, aiming to reach the Innate Realm and then seek vengeance on the Innate Expert who abandoned her.
But achieving the Innate Realm is easier said than done.
Despite decades of arduous cultivation and an incalculable amount of Cultivation Resources spent, Madam Linghu was always just a half-step away from the Innate Realm.
Madam Linghu knew that her inability to break through wasn’t due to a lack of talent but rather the low grade of the Cultivation Resources she used.
Therefore, she dispatched nurous subordinates to every corner of the True Martial Realm to gather high-grade resources.
Concurrently, she used the evil technique to dual cultivate with martial artists of extraordinary talent, hoping to leverage their Essence Energy for her advancent.
However, recently, there have been few martial artists with exceptional talent passing through Misty Island.
Out of desperation, Madam Linghu was not discerning in her choices, not even sparing soone like Wu Rongshan, whose talent was only diocre.
As for the few martial artists reported by her subordinates who might have Innate Spiritual Roots, Madam Linghu planned to recuperate tonight and at her peak strength, subdue them thereafter.
