Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 2076: Chapter 1084: Found_2

Li Shiming sent a command to the ’Golden Winged Dapeng’, making it quiet down a bit.

There was no way Li Shiming would let the ’Golden Winged Dapeng’ break through to fifth-grade in this state; when facing the Heavenly Tribulation it was best for it to behave honestly, so as to avoid any accidents.

He took out the spirit treasure ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ from his body, then used the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ to augment it, casting the ’Thunder Resistance Secret Method’ to boost the ’Golden Winged Dapeng’s’ resistance to thunder.

Then several ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills were added onto the ’Golden Winged Dapeng’, ensuring the ’Golden Winged Dapeng’s’ recovery ability while crossing the Heavenly Tribulation.

As for the success rate of the ’Golden Winged Dapeng’ crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, he was very confident.

With him, this top-tier Thunder Cultivation Great Power, at the side, and IBMz15 helping with analysis, the ’Golden Winged Dapeng’s’ tribulation crossing was very safe.

If things really went south, he could send the ’Golden Winged Dapeng’ into the Grotto Heaven.

It was just that if he did that, even if the tribulation failed, the difficulty of the next Heavenly Tribulation would increase, making it even harder to get through.

Thunderclouds gathered in the sky; Li Shiming glanced at them and stopped worrying about the ’Golden Winged Dapeng’.

He summoned Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon; these were his two Fifth Grade Spirit Pets, and their combat power was not weak. They each occupied one direction to prevent anyone from approaching this area.

Great Power Lu Wei returned to the Immortal Alliance, growing angrier the more he thought.

Since he couldn’t get Li Shiming’s whereabouts from Li Yuanba, he considered another method.

It was just that this method was extremely rarely used by the Immortal Alliance, because once used it would arouse dissatisfaction among the Alliance’s loose members.

The Identity Jade Disc could be located; as long as one was within the Falling Immortal Formation, the Immortal Alliance’s upper echelon had the authority to locate a Great Power’s position through the Identity Jade Disc.

They could even check the past movement trajectory of a Great Power within the Falling Immortal Formation. If a Great Power really discovered this, it would have a very negative impact on the Immortal Alliance.

Great Power Lu Wei flew toward a mountain peak in the east of the Immortal Alliance; that was where his faction was based.

On the surface the whole Immortal Alliance was a unified whole, but in reality it was divided into four factions—east, west, south, and north—each managed by a Great Immortal Envoy.

The one Great Power Lu Wei came here to find was precisely the Great Immortal Envoy of the East Immortal Alliance; only a Great Immortal Envoy had the authority to locate Identity Jade Discs.

Things went very smoothly; this matter was originally a task arranged by that Great Immortal Envoy. It was just that Great Power Lu Wei did not obtain Li Shiming’s precise location, because Li Shiming seemed not to be within the range of the Falling Immortal Formation.

Luckily Great Power Lu Wei obtained Li Shiming’s movement trajectory; it looked like Li Shiming had gone toward the border of the Immortal Domain.

Li Shiming could not enter the Divine Domain, so his position should be in that border area outside the range of the Falling Immortal Formation.

After getting information on Li Shiming, Great Power Lu Wei immediately used teleportation to reach the nearest Immortal Residence, then headed from the Immortal Residence to the last point on Li Shiming’s movement trajectory.

When he was still quite far from that area, Great Power Lu Wei sensed the aura of a Heavenly Tribulation.

With his cultivation, he immediately judged that this Heavenly Tribulation was a fifth-grade tribulation of a Spiritual Pet.

In this area, anyone daring to let a Spiritual Pet cross a Heavenly Tribulation—aside from Li Shiming—he couldn’t think of anyone else who would have such guts.

He had also obtained quite a bit of intelligence on Li Shiming through some channels, learning Li Shiming’s general information in the Central State.

Li Shiming came from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect specialized in nurturing Spiritual Pets; and ahead was precisely the point where Li Shiming’s movement trajectory disappeared.

Connecting these points, who else could be the Great Power letting a Spiritual Pet break through to fifth-grade but Li Shiming?

”Talk about effortless gains!” Great Power Lu Wei’s face showed a smile.

He had originally been thinking that if Li Shiming dared to come here, he definitely had some kind of concealment method.

Trying to find the hidden Li Shiming might take some effort.

He hadn’t expected that he’d just arrived and already had a harvest.

He approached the Heavenly Tribulation; the closer he got, the more certain he was that it was Li Shiming.

Li Shiming’s aura existed within the Identity Jade Disc and was backed up in the Immortal Alliance. Great Power Lu Wei had sensed it in advance; now, upon discovering the aura of the Great Power ahead, he was sure he hadn’t mistaken him.

Li Shiming was watching a ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect’ cross its Heavenly Tribulation; this was the third ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect’ to undergo tribulation.

Previously the ’Golden Winged Dapeng’, the ’Thunder Beast’, and three ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ had all successfully crossed their tribulations, advancing to Fifth Grade Spirit Pets.

He had collected the tribulation-successful Spiritual Pets back into the ’Ancient Spirit Beast Breeding Ground’. Although these Spiritual Pets had already advanced to fifth-grade, they still needed some time to stabilize their strength.

With the large number of spirit beasts in the ’Ancient Spirit Beast Breeding Ground’ serving as food, the Fifth Grade Spirit Pets could quickly get through this stabilization period.

Suddenly he sensed the fluctuation of Spatial Energy; he activated ’Divine Eyes’ and looked toward the location of the Spatial Energy fluctuation.

He saw an unexpected Great Power—it was Great Power Lu Wei.

That Great Power Lu Wei could find him was absolutely something he had never imagined.

He could be one hundred percent certain that it was impossible for his position to have been exposed.

”Was it drawn by the Heavenly Tribulation?” He thought of this possibility.

But that would be too coincidental; he had to know that his current position was in a border area, outside the range of the Falling Immortal Formation and impossible for the Formation to detect.

Nor was there any Immortal Residence too close nearby; the location he chose to conceal himself had been calculated.

Because earlier he needed to let the fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’ come and go, he couldn’t let other Great Powers notice, so he had chosen this place.

If it were some other Great Power who found this place, he wouldn’t be surprised.

Maybe they just happened to be nearby; sensing the Heavenly Tribulation here and coming to take a look would be very normal.

But Great Power Lu Wei appearing here was absolutely abnormal; Great Power Lu Wei had nearly attacked Li Yuanba in order to find him.

As Li Shiming’s mind stirred, he handed this problem over to IBMz15.

IBMz15 took only a single breath of time to give the most probable answer—that it was the Immortal Alliance’s ’Identity Jade Disc’.

The Identity Jade Disc was an identification proof used by all forces in the Cultivation World, which made the technology for manufacturing Identity Jade Discs extremely advanced.

In order to make Identity Jade Discs impossible to forge and their internal data impossible to breach, all forces had continuously conducted research over long ages, achieving many results.

And as the strongest cultivation force, the Immortal Alliance naturally had its own Identity Jade Disc technology; making Identity Jade Discs reveal a Great Power’s position without the Great Power’s knowledge was not hard to accomplish.

Anyway, as long as a Great Power’s Identity Jade Disc was within the Falling Immortal Formation, it needed to exchange data with the Formation. This left the possibility for the Immortal Alliance to record the Identity Jade Disc’s position.

”Damn it!” Li Shiming shook his head and cursed softly.

He wasn’t just cursing the Immortal Alliance, but also himself.

The Immortal Alliance really was loathsome, actually using the Identity Jade Disc to locate him.

He had to remember the Immortal Alliance was only a loose organization; a so-called loose organization should not place any restraints on its members, much less locate members’ positions.

Even in ordinary forces, members’ positions were extremely private matters; unless a member committed some major crime, their position would never be located.

The reason he was cursing himself was that he blamed himself for losing his vigilance; he should long ago have thought of the fact that Identity Jade Discs could be used for location.

Back in the Central State, he had already run into a case of being located through an Identity Jade Disc.

At this moment the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect’ was undergoing the fourth Heavenly Thunder, and Great Power Lu Wei was already approaching Li Shiming.

”Stop there, my Spiritual Pet is crossing its tribulation, it must not be disturbed!” Li Shiming warned in a deep voice.

”I just want to talk with you a bit; it won’t affect your Spiritual Pet’s tribulation crossing!” There was no way Great Power Lu Wei would let go of this chance; he continued to approach while speaking.

As long as Li Shiming cared about his own Spiritual Pet, he would not flee; that way Great Power Lu Wei could have a close conversation with him.

If Li Shiming went against his wishes, he could even unleash realm suppression and forcibly take Li Shiming back.

Anyway, there were no other Great Powers nearby; even if he forcibly took Li Shiming back, no other Great Power would discover it. There was not even any way to use Identity Jade Discs here; it was, of course, the pit Li Shiming had dug for himself.
