Li Shiming left the seabed, riding a Fourth Grade Upper Stage Flying Boat named the âChasing Wind Dragon Boatâ.
Because he displayed the aura of a Sword Cultivator, while in the Divine Palace with the six Peak Great Cultivators, he never showcased any power other than that of a Thunder Cultivator.
When he used the âTraceless Illusion Swordâ to slay Grandmaster Leng Hong, Master Qiu Zhi perceived very little, not knowing that Li Shiming was also a Sword Cultivator.
Another crucial support for his hidden identity is the uniqueness of the âHeavenly Human Techniqueâ, which converts âChaotic Spiritual Powerâ into the Gold Element Spiritual Power of a Sword Cultivator without a single flaw.
In the Cultivation World, the aura of any cultivator possesses uniqueness, fusing with the cultivation technique practiced to form that cultivatorâs unique identifiable aura.
In fact, many cultivators in the Cultivation World donât need to look at appearances; they can identify other cultivators based on their aura alone.
However, Li Shiming is an exception. Previously, by converting âChaotic Spiritual Powerâ into Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power, he became a Thunder Cultivator.
Now heâs converting âChaotic Spiritual Powerâ into the Gold Element Spiritual Power of the âSky-Surging Sword Intent Techniqueâ, coupled with the intentional leakage of âChaos Sword Intentâ, everyone would certainly regard him as a genuine Sword Cultivator.
This allowed him to blend in with the cultivators searching across the sea. Some of these cultivators were riding flying boats, while others used different flying tools.
The cultivators do not coexist peacefully; skirmishes occur from time to time.
Amidst this chaos, Li Shiming seized the chance to join the searching cultivators and become an inconspicuous Great Cultivator among them.
The âChasing Wind Dragon Boatâ was indeed somewhat ostentatious, but in Li Shimingâs view, no matter how flashy a Fourth Grade Upper Stage Quality Flying Boat was, it was still limited.
He set course for the nearest archipelago of the âCloud Island Seaâ as indicated on the map.
The speed of the âChasing Wind Dragon Boatâ wasnât particularly fast; just like other cultivators, he was searching while flying. Although some cultivators probed him and discovered him to be a Sword Cultivator, they made no further actions.
Even the disciples from the sects of the six Peak Great Cultivators wouldnât casually trouble a Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator.
They had learned from the escaped Master Qiu Zhi that Li Shiming was a Thunder Cultivator, and his aura had already been made into a warrant, distributed to many cultivators.
Thus, numerous cultivators came, many only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, all lured by the potential rewards.
According to Master Qiu Zhi, Li Shiming had slain two Demon Cultivators on the spot, and the fall of three Righteous Path Great Cultivators was highly likely also related to Li Shiming.
The hands of the five Peak Great Cultivators held unimaginable wealth, not to mention the Spiritual Objects originally belonging to them, but also the Great Cultivator resources they brought out from the Divine Palace.
Any Nascent Soul Cultivator, upon obtaining these Great Cultivator resources, would be unhindered in their ascent to Peak Great Cultivator, and could even leave unimaginable assets for posterity.
Upon learning that several sects issued warrants, even cultivators not eligible for those warrants came to this sea, along with those ready to seize the Great Cultivator resources taken from the Divine Palaceâall involved in seeking out Li Shiming.
Yet, unfortunately, so many cultivators hadnât realized that Li Shiming was right under their noses, leaving calmly.
Li Shiming was indeed very leisurely, sitting in the âChasing Wind Dragon Boatâ, sipping Spiritual Tea while observing the passing cultivators.
From the auras of these cultivators, he assessed the quality of the cultivators in the âCloud Island Seaâ.
As the âChasing Wind Dragon Boatâ encountered fewer and fewer cultivators, he knew he was leaving the area where cultivators congregated and increased the spiritual power supply to the âChasing Wind Dragon Boatâ, significantly boosting its speed.
After a few days, when the IBMz15 could no longer connect to the drone satellite, he lost the ability to monitor the Divine Palace region.
The expanse of the âCloud Island Seaâ was simply too vast, and the drones he carried werenât enough to cover the entire âCloud Island Seaâ.
Moreover, his stay in the âCloud Island Seaâ would not exceed twenty years, so even if he had enough drones, by the time he established a comprehensive surveillance system over the entire âCloud Island Seaâ, it would be about time for him to leave.
Therefore, he didnât plan to establish a drone satellite system in the âCloud Island Seaâ, at most deploying a drone satellite as needed for reconnaissance.
Finally, one day he arrived at the âYuzhu Islandsâ, a region in the sea, and was astonished even from a distance.
As he drew closer, he switched from using the âDivine Eyesightâ to just using his eyes to view the scene.
On the map, the âYuzhu Islandsâ were composed of thirty-six circular islands of roughly the same size, configured in a natural great formation.
The first sight of the âYuzhu Islandsâ on the map had already shocked him onceâwith thirty-six circular islands forming a natural great formation, such a probability was exceedingly low, yet the âYuzhu Islandsâ had it.
And in the âCloud Island Seaâ, this was not singularâmany islands exhibited this phenomenon, with multiple islands forming formations.
But seeing the âYuzhu Islandsâ in person, he was once again struck with disbelief.
Each island in the âYuzhu Islandsâ was surrounded by clouds and mist, and beneath the mist, they were actually hollow.
