Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1243: Chapter 668: Great Cultivator

As Li Shiming approached Anyu Island, he sensed an anomaly.

With his keen sense of smell, he could detect faint traces of a bloody scent.

This bloody scent carried the unique aura of a cultivator’s blood. Smelling the blood of human cultivators near Anyu Island, especially over the ocean, how much of their blood must there be to reach such an intensity!

He immediately became alert as Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng’s Water Thunder Nascent Soul exhibited ’Divine Eye’ and ’Telepathy’. ’Divine Eye’ allowed Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng to observe distant areas, while ’Telepathy’ let him sense any abnormal spiritual fluctuations nearby.

Under the effect of ’Divine Eye’, he saw Anyu Island.

At this moment, Anyu Island no longer resembled a gathering place for human cultivators. The main peak of the three peaks had snapped in half, and the once-bustling streets had turned into ruins.

”What happened?” Li Shiming wondered as he cautiously flew toward Anyu Island.

As he got closer, he saw more detail. Judging by the large amount of blood left on the ground, it’s likely that the loose cultivators on Anyu Island had fallen.

He sensed some familiar auras—it was the aura of dragon beasts.

When the dragon beasts launched their final massacre on Anyu Island, they exerted their full power without any reservation, leaving behind abundant traces of their aura.

Li Shiming was extremely familiar with the dragon beast’s aura, as he had ventured deep into a dragon beast’s lair.

He understood that Anyu Island had been attacked by a dragon beast clan, and it might have something to do with him.

Of course, the dire situation on Anyu Island didn’t cause him much unease. The loose cultivators living on Anyu Island had to face attacks from spirit beasts, so they should already be mentally prepared for being slaughtered by them.

Moreover, he hadn’t intentionally led the dragon beast clan here; he hadn’t even left any trace of his aura near the dragon beast’s lair.

The ’Hidden Phoenix Jade Talisman’ completely concealed Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng’s aura, leaving no leak whatsoever. He couldn’t believe the dragon beast clan could find Anyu Island through him.

In fact, that was the case. After Anyu Island was destroyed, Doruson still hid in his cave dwelling, thinking about the chaos outside, hoping the dragon beasts might not find him.

But Doruson was wrong; the Dragon Beast Clan Chief had long since locked onto him.

The breaking of the mountain peak was due to an attack by the Dragon Beast Clan Chief, and ultimately, Doruson couldn’t escape and was suppressed by the clan chief’s aura.

Afterward, Doruson was subjected to extremely cruel torture as the Dragon Beast Clan Chief pressured him for information about the cultivator who stole treasures from the dragon beast’s lair.

But clearly, the Dragon Beast Clan Chief was disappointed. Doruson knew no more about Li Shiming than the Dragon Beast Clan Chief did.

Doruson only knew Li Shiming’s residence was on Anyu Island, but he knew nothing else.

Since Li Shiming had just arrived at Anyu Island, he rented a cave dwelling and didn’t make any friends, so there was no way to gather information on him.

The most crucial point was that Li Shiming, outside, was Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng. He had altered Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng’s appearance, and after using the ’Hidden Phoenix Jade Talisman’ to conceal his aura, even cultivators most familiar with Zhao Qingfeng wouldn’t recognize him as Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng.

Doruson’s fate was predictable, sharing it with the entire Anyu Island’s cultivators.

The dragon beast clan launched a frenzied revenge attack, possessing greater strength and a numerical advantage.

In the end, only two Great Cultivators and a few Nascent Soul Cultivators with no physical bodies truly escaped Anyu Island; the rest, whether Nascent Soul Cultivators or lower-level cultivators, were all torn to pieces and devoured by the dragon beasts.

Only after venting their rage did the dragon beast clan leave Anyu Island.

The dragon beasts had wisdom, and such an assault on a human cultivator gathering place would undoubtedly lead to a counterattack by human cultivators.

The Dragon Beast Clan Chief needed to lead the dragon beast clan back to the deep sea for a time. Naturally, he was unwilling to let things end this way, but since he couldn’t find the treasure thief Li Shiming, there was nothing more he could do despite his dissatisfaction.

The Cultivation World was simply too vast; finding a single Nascent Soul Cultivator was no easy task.

Li Shiming stood above Anyu Island, looking down at the shattered ruins, his Divine Sense sweeping over every inch.

Suddenly, he stopped, his figure descending swiftly.

The Water Thunder Nascent Soul executed ’Distance in a Blink’, making his flying figure vanish, only to reappear inside a cave dwelling within the broken mountain.

Most of the cave dwelling was destroyed, but during the Divine Sense scan, his personal treasure IBMz15 detected something peculiar.

This body was Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng, but the Water Thunder Nascent Soul could borrow the IBMz15’s ability to analyze all the information scanned by the Divine Sense.

The cave dwelling was extensively damaged, and at a nondescript wall, he paused.

His hand gently tapped a few locations, and the seemingly ordinary wall shimmered with the glow of a formation. The glow then flickered, revealing a portal on the wall.

He pushed open the door covered with formation symbols, sensing a cultivator inside, a Great Cultivator at that.

However, this Great Cultivator’s face was like golden paper, with a faint black mist obscuring it intermittently.

”This is a Qi deviation!” Li Shiming immediately recognized what had happened.
