He stepped into the gap of the space barrier and once again used âStride to Heavenâ, appearing outside the Taichu Sectâs mountain gate.
Due to Li Shimingâs attack on the White Emperor Sectâs base, the Taichu Sect has been on high alert.
When the space barrier was attacked, the Taichu Sectâs high-level members immediately received the alarm and learned from the feedback of the space barrier that the intruder was a Thunder Cultivator.
The Taichu Sect currently has six Great Cultivators within the sect, and with the addition of the Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect, they have a total of seven Great Cultivators.
The six Great Cultivators are the entire foundation of the Taichu Sect, and at a time like this, there is no room for any concealment.
After Li Shimingâs previous attack on the White Emperor Sectâs base, the Taichu Sect awakened all the closed-door Great Cultivators to prevent Li Shimingâs assault.
"How could he be so bold?" Qi the Great Cultivator said in a deep voice.
Even now, he couldnât believe Li Shiming would have such audacity.
Years ago, when Li Shiming came to Taichu Sect, he listened to his teachings, and back then, he even provided guidance to Li Shiming.
Who would have thought that after only a few years, the relationship between both sides would have deteriorated to this point, becoming enemies.
And that once weak cultivator has now become the nemesis of the Taichu Sect.
"Never underestimate him. Itâs unknown if he brought Master Pei this time, that Master Pei destroyed the Fuliu Sect back then, so be cautious of Master Peiâs methods of infiltration and sabotage!" The Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect reminded aloud.
Now, he and the Taichu Sect are in a relationship of shared survival or destruction; only if the Taichu Sect withstands Li Shimingâs attack can he survive.
As long as the Taichu Sect can resist Li Shimingâs attack, he has already contacted the White Emperor Sect, and Yan Gao Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect is on his way.
But even if Yan Gao Great Cultivator rushes at full speed, it will take nearly a month.
"We have already sealed the mountain gate, and even sect cultivators are not allowed to enter or exit!" Qi the Great Cultivator, having studied the intel on Li Shiming and Great Cultivator Luo Pei, had long prepared precautions.
The seven Great Cultivators, speaking as they moved, hurried to the core of the Taichu Sect Formation, where they could better utilize the formationâs power.
They hadnât expected that just as they arrived at their positions, they discovered Li Shiming already standing in the void outside the mountain gate, waiting for them.
They had flown from the sect to the formationâs core, a very short distance, and due to recent precautions against Li Shimingâs surprise attack, all the Great Cultivators were on standby, ready to act immediately given any situation.
But even so, the seven Great Cultivators were still slower than Li Shiming.
"Li Shizhen greets Qi the Great Cultivator!" When Li Shiming saw Qi the Great Cultivator, he didnât show any disrespect due to the sectâs hostile relations and bowed to Qi the Great Cultivator.
He performed a discipleâs salute, showing gratitude for Qi the Great Cultivatorâs teachings back then.
"Li Shizhen, when you listened to my teachings back then, I also gained the benefit of receiving back, so there are no favors between you and me!" Qi the Great Cultivator sighed deeply and waved his hand.
Qi the Great Cultivator deeply understood that the sentiments of the past were worthless in the face of the enmity between the two great sects.
Neither he nor Li Shiming could abandon the sectâs hatred for the sake of the past teachings.
"Qi the Great Cultivator, you can still leave now, take your factionâs cultivators far from the Dongqi Continent!" Li Shiming said in a deep voice.
"Senior Brother, this is an opportunity, take the sectâs seeds and leave!" Upon hearing Li Shimingâs words, Qi the Great Cultivator hadnât answered yet when a Great Cultivator beside him softly advised.
Among the Great Cultivators present, apart from the White Emperor Sectâs Great Cultivator wanting Qi the Great Cultivator to stay, the remaining Great Cultivators all began to persuade Qi the Great Cultivator, hoping he would take the sectâs seeds away.
The attack by Li Shiming came too quickly, and the Taichu Sect hadnât had time to execute any backup plans.
Once the sect is destroyed this time, there wonât even be a chance to rebuild Taichu Sect.
"No need to persuade, I grew up in the sect, and I swear to live and die with the sect!" Qi the Great Cultivator replied with a resolute voice.
His words were not only a reply to the fellow sect Great Cultivators but also a response to Li Shiming.
Li Shiming slowly gathered his emotions, with no trace of emotion left in his eyes, and the lightning aura around him surged.
The aura of âYuqing Thunder Scriptureâ transformed by âHeavenly Human Techniqueâ was much stronger than the aura cultivated by Great Cultivators of the same realm, immediately creating pressure for the seven Great Cultivators of the Taichu Sect.
"How is it possible, he hasnât been cultivating for long, how can he have such an aura? Even among the Yuqing Sectâs Great Cultivators, only one or two can surpass him!" The Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect muttered to himself.
He was too familiar with the Yuqing Sect, and as soon as he sensed Li Shimingâs âYuqing Thunder Scriptureâ aura, he recognized it.
But Li Shimingâs age was there for all to see, barely over a hundred years old; even if Li Shiming were born a Great Cultivator, heâd only have a little over a hundred years of cultivation.
In the realm of Great Cultivators, a little over a hundred years of cultivation is considered the weakest existence.
But the âYuqing Thunder Scriptureâ aura revealed by Li Shiming absolutely exceeded that of a Great Cultivator with five hundred years of cultivation, and vaguely, he sensed a more violent power contained within Li Shimingâs lightning aura.
"Engage him more in conversation, delay for a bit, our cultivators havenât all entered the formation yet!" At this time, a Great Cultivator reminded.
"Li Shizhen, you attacked the White Emperor Sectâs base, killed two of my senior brothers, and slaughtered nearly a hundred fellow sect members, are you ready for the White Emperor Sectâs revenge?" The Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect said loudly.
Li Shiming glanced at the White Emperor Sectâs Great Cultivator, with his âGod Eyeâ activated, his life-bound treasure IBMz15 had thoroughly studied the Taichu Sect formation, leaving no more secrets for him; he could sense the formation was continuously strengthening.
No words needed, the Taichu Sectâs cultivators were entering the formation, reinforcing it with a large amount of spiritual power, thus making the formation more powerful.
"For the White Emperor Sectâs revenge, let Yan Gao come to me, I will give him a fair fight!" Li Shiming pretended not to know about the Taichu Sect formation situation, he said nonchalantly.
The Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect was shocked, not expecting Li Shiming to say this.
He couldnât believe that Li Shiming hadnât heard of Yan Gao Great Cultivatorâs reputation. Not to mention Yan Gao Great Cultivatorâs achievements on the Dongqi Continent, even on the Central State Continent, Yan Gao Great Cultivator is one of the few peak Great Cultivators who frequently carry out missions and is highly renowned.
Momentarily, he had the thought of immediately reporting Li Shimingâs words to the White Emperor Sect, to have Yan Gao Great Cultivator delay coming to the Dongqi Continent. Unfortunately, he didnât have the time to go to the Communication Array now.
Even if he had the chance to contact the White Emperor Sect, itâs likely that Yan Gao Great Cultivator, who was in the ocean, would be hard-pressed to receive the White Emperor Sectâs message; he would need to reach the Dongqi Continent and use the Communication Array to connect with the White Emperor Sect on the West Yan Continent.
"I forget, you donât have the chance to contact the White Emperor Sect, Iâll send a message to the White Emperor Sect myself!" Li Shiming chuckled lightly and said.
"Li Shizhen, you are underestimating the White Emperor Sect, you will pay for this!" The White Emperor Sectâs Great Cultivator felt insulted and roared loudly.
Through this method, he was also venting his emotions; he always felt that this conflict with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect might be a big trouble for the White Emperor Sect.
"Alright, all cultivators have entered their designated positions, the formation is in its optimal state!" The Great Cultivator from the Taichu Sect said softly before.
A few Great Cultivators felt triumphant, believing they had outwitted Li Shiming.
"Li Shizhen probably allowed us to prepare deliberately, just like the time at the White Emperor Sect base!" At this moment, Master Qiao shook his head with a wry smile.
Since Li Shiming arrived before the Taichu Sectâs Great Cultivators and gave up the best opportunity to strike first, waiting for all seven Great Cultivators to arrive and even conversed with them, it was evident that Li Shiming intended to let Taichu Sect be fully prepared before the battle.
