Cultivation is just so scientific!

Li Shiming gloomily put away one hundred and ninety-one 'Flowing Light Star Meteor' flying swords, feeling like he was using a cannon to kill mosquitoes.

Yet, if he were to encounter enemies again in the future, he would willingly use all one hundred and ninety-one 'Flowing Light Star Meteor' to annihilate them, believing this is how a Sword Cultivator should act.

Other Sword Cultivators refine one flying sword to break ten thousand techniques with one strike, but they cannot do what Li Shiming does, empowering each flying sword with the might of a single flying sword treasure.

"Heaven and Earth Net Restriction, such a grand name. Perfect opportunity to experience it!" Li Shiming's eyes gleamed, observing the traces of the Formation around him with 'Divine Vision'.

He took a step forward, activating 'Distant Horizon at Hand', appearing where the Great Elder had discreetly placed the Array Plate.

Only with his 'Divine Vision' could he detect the Great Elder's extremely subtle actions. Once the Heaven and Earth Net Restriction was activated, the Array Plate naturally became hidden.

But this had no effect on Li Shiming. He lightly tapped the invisible ground, and the Heaven and Earth Net Restriction around him disappeared, revealing an Array Plate on the ground.

He picked up the Array Plate without a closer look and immediately stored it, then removed the Mustard Seed Rings from three corpses and stored them in his spatial items, subsequently into the cabin space.

The fall of three Great Elders also led to the death of three dragon spirit beasts.

The higher the Contract Secret Method, the more intimate the bond between owner and Spiritual Pet, making the backlash of death more severe.

The death of a Spiritual Pet wounds the owner's spirit, while the owner's death causes the Spiritual Pet's soul to be contractually consumed and destroyed.

He could sense the Illusion Spirit Jiao's interest in the corpses of the three dragon spirit beasts, as the Illusion Spirit Jiao transformed into a bracelet on his arm.

The Illusion Spirit Jiao had not participated in the battle as it simply couldn't arrive in time; the battle was over with just one strike from start to finish.

He did not immediately give the three dragon spirit beast corpses to the Illusion Spirit Jiao, but instead, he summoned the fire attribute Golden Core within him, emitted a flame, destroying all traces of the battle and Heavenly Tribulation, before heading far away.

He used 'Distant Horizon at Hand' to arrive a thousand miles away from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's mountain gate, then switched to Thunder Escape for flying.

"Master Li, I'm glad you're okay!" At the peak outside his cave dwelling, Li Shiming saw Master Jiang Hong, who was delighted to see Li Shiming unharmed.

"Master Jiang, I appreciate your concern!" Li Shiming felt Master Jiang Hong's care and bowed to him.

"Did you encounter any trouble?" Master Jiang Hong did not ask why Li Shiming left the sect, respecting the Cultivator's privacy, and instead inquired about his experience outside.

Within the sect, matters are systematically gathered and reported by the Phoenix faction's intelligence system, which pays considerable attention to Li Shiming.

Master Jiang Hong had already told him that news of occurrences involving Li Shiming would be sent to him.

Li Shiming left the sect, and three Great Elders followed suit, although one after another. Anyone attentive within the sect would find this unusual.

Although there were many Great Elders within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, to have four Great Elders, including Li Shiming, leaving in such a short period was highly unusual.

Especially since the latter three Great Elders were of the dragon lineage and had formidable combat strength, it wasn't hard to guess who they were targeting.

By the time Master Jiang Hong received the news, several two hours had passed. As an Alchemy Master, he was exceedingly busy; to even see the news within a single two hours was rare.

He was extremely anxious, planning to send someone to search for Li Shiming, but realized Li Shiming had safely returned.

"I did not encounter any trouble. Among those at the same stage, I have not seen any flying Secret Technique faster than Thunder Escape!" Li Shiming confidently stated.

"That's good to hear!" Master Jiang Hong said with a smile.

Indeed, Thunder Cultivator's Thunder Escape ranks high among flying Secret Techniques, suggesting the three Great Elders did not catch up with Li Shiming.

Master Jiang Hong did not think Li Shiming could take on three Great Elders alone, like other Cultivators, regardless of Li Shiming's origin, from all indications his background could not surpass the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

While Master Jiang Hong acknowledged Li Shiming's alchemy skills, his strength was a different matter.

There are distinctions in power among Great Elders. The Ten Thousand Beast Sect's Great Elders have superior strength compared to those from other major sects, let alone Li Shiming, whose background is humble.

"I had a reason I had to go out, but I will try to reduce my outings in the future!" Li Shiming thought for a moment and then explained.

"Alright, you are a distinguished Alchemy Master; avoid competing with other Cultivators recklessly. Everything can wait until you've advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage!" Master Jiang Hong nodded with satisfaction.

Master Jiang Hong left, and Li Shiming returned to his cave dwelling.

In another cave dwelling on a Floating Mountain, Elder Chen Zhou coldly stared at the three shattered jade plates before him. These were the Life Jade Plates of three Great Elders he had dispatched.

Not long ago, the three Life Jade Plates shattered simultaneously.

The simultaneous shattering of the three Life Jade Plates indicated the simultaneous demise of the three Great Elders.

"Was it Li Shizhen's doing?" Elder Chen Zhou muttered, instantly shaking his head in disbelief.

If the three Great Elders had fallen one by one, instead of all at once, it might suggest Li Shiming's power exceeded his expectations, using formidable strength to kill the three Great Elders.
