Cultivation is just so scientific!

Other Formations would only increase the risk of being discovered. Concealing Array is the least likely to be detected.

Additionally, Great Cultivator Zhao is extremely proud. When he initially constructed this secret refuge, he did not consider defense at all, as long as the secret refuge remained undiscovered.

When he was injured and arrived here, he did not add any other Formations.

Li Shiming saw a human figure in the outline of the refuge through the internal structure map of IBMz15.

Although the human figure was very blurry, after IBMz15 enhanced the data, it accurately marked the position of this human figure.

"Is that Great Cultivator Zhao?" Li Shiming's eyes flickered with light, a heavily injured Great Cultivator, he had some unconventional ideas.

Rather than sending the news of Great Cultivator Zhao back to the sect, he might as well try something himself.

The sect's reward was just some contribution points, Li Shiming just needed to work a bit harder to quickly earn a lot of contribution points.

Yet trying to resolve it himself, even if there's only a one percent chance, if successful, the gains would be immense.

Of course, all attempts are based on ensuring his own safety first.

He did not intend to attack close up, as he does not believe his attack range of three kilometers could exceed Great Cultivator Zhao's.

With his Nascent Soul Early Stage realm, approaching Great Cultivator Zhao might result in him losing his combat ability without Great Cultivator Zhao even needing to strike, just from a realm suppression.

"Great Cultivator Zhao, prepare for a big surprise!" Li Shiming quietly watched the distant mountain peaks from three hundred Baili away and said.

He summoned the Fourth Grade Xuanjia Puppet, which retrieved an electromagnetic cannon, a twenty-meter electromagnetic cannon mounted on the shoulder of the Fourth Grade Xuanjia Puppet.

Li Shiming did not just let the Fourth Grade Xuanjia Puppet charge itself; he took out the Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer and cast a lightning strike on the electromagnetic cannon's lightning runes.

His life-bound magical tool IBMz15 calculated precisely, determining the electromagnetic cannon's maximum lightning load. The Fourth Grade Xuanjia Puppet's inherent energy could not achieve the electromagnetic cannon's maximum lightning capacity.

He used the Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer to supplement the lightning, filling the electromagnetic cannon's lightning to its maximum capacity.

With a three-hundred Baili aim, even a micron deviation would significantly affect the final precision.

Fortunately, with the assistance of his life-bound magical tool IBMz15, Li Shiming continuously fine-tuned the electromagnetic cannon through his connection with the Fourth Grade Xuanjia Puppet.

The Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure was placed into the electromagnetic cannon, and terrifying lightning flashed over the cannon's body.

If it weren't for the three hundred Baili distance from Great Cultivator Zhao, the Spiritual Power Pattern fluctuations might have been detected by Great Cultivator Zhao.

"Fire!" With Li Shiming's command, the Fourth Grade Xuanjia Puppet activated the electromagnetic cannon.

The Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure shot out, traversing the three hundred Baili distance in an instant, still within the electromagnetic cannon's effective attack range.

Over three hundred Baili, the Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure maintained its fastest attack speed, not yet reaching the decay state.

The Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure struck the mountain rock, as such ordinary rock could not withstand the impact of the Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure at all.

Even the speed of the Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure was barely affected, as it bored a hole through the rock.

The power of an attack with the electromagnetic cannon paired with the Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure could penetrate entirely through such a mountain peak, provided there were no cultivation defense measures inside.

When the Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure struck the mountain wall, Great Cultivator Zhao sensed it.

He released his Divine Sense to investigate what exactly it was. He was practicing cultivation and getting out of it would take some time.

However, before his Divine Sense could detect the Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure, it had already passed through the mountain wall.

The Concealing Array in the refuge had no defensive power, which is why the attack of the Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure hardly decayed.

From the time the electromagnetic cannon started its attack three hundred Baili away to striking the target, it was merely an instant.

Particularly from the moment Great Cultivator Zhao detected the attack, the time was even shorter.

Great Cultivator Zhao couldn't even summon the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects' before the Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure struck his body.

With a 'boom', his body was blasted away, heavily crashing into the mountain wall of the refuge.

"Wah," he spat a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion pale as gold paper.

In his body, the Nascent Soul's cultivation was forcibly interrupted without being able to cease.

The spiritual power circulating inside the Nascent Soul went out of control, chaotically crashing within the Nascent Soul.

If it were a normal time, spiritual power chaotically crashing within the Nascent Soul would at most cause minor injury.

However, now his Nascent Soul had multiple wounds inside, with energies left by Grandmaster Hu and Master Ding within these wounds.

Spiritual power crashing into one wound instantly triggered an energy eruption from within the wound. The spiritual power that was subduing the injury was also affected, unable to suppress the energy inside this wound.

The energy eruption inside this wound made the spiritual power within the Nascent Soul even more chaotic.

Spiritual power within the Nascent Soul collided with another wound, similarly triggering an energy eruption within the wound.

Great Cultivator Zhao sensed the worsening wounds within the Nascent Soul and shouted, utilizing a Secret Technique to forcibly seal the spiritual power within the Nascent Soul.

This made him lose control over the Nascent Soul's spiritual power. This Secret Technique could not heal the wounds, only suppress them for a period.

His mind was very clear; he could perceive that the power of the recent attack just exceeded the Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak, not even reaching Nascent Soul Middle Stage power.

An attack like this should not have been the chase of a Great Cultivator but an assault by a Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner.

He only needed to rely on his physical body and spirit to approach that practitioner and could easily kill that practitioner.

The gap between a Great Cultivator and a Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner is enormous, to an unimaginable extent for a Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner.

Great Cultivator Zhao believed some Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner accidentally discovered his tracks, thinking to take advantage, intending to kill and seize treasures while he was wounded.

Such facts are too common, occurring daily in the Cultivation World.

If the two great cultivators from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect were here, they would not bother with a Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak attack, but directly charge at the refuge.

With his heavy injuries, he had no power to confront any one of the two great cultivators.

Thinking in his heart, his body lay on the ground, trying to lure out the practitioner who just launched the attack.

Suddenly, the Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure fallen on the ground flashed and disappeared. Great Cultivator Zhao's Divine Sense detected the disappearance of the Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure, understanding this was the effect of the auto-return rune.

Yet, he did not realize the seriousness of the Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure's return, maintaining his defeated appearance, waiting for the enemy to appear.

The electromagnetic cannon on the shoulder of the Fourth Grade Xuanjia Puppet glowed briefly, and Li Shiming sensed the return of the Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure.

He did not immediately fire a second shot but instead redeployed the tracked robot to conduct an ultrasonic scan of the mountain interior.

This time, the scan was clearer, the Concealing Array of the refuge was breached, and Great Cultivator Zhao's figure was more evidently marked.

Even without IBMz15 enhancing the data, Great Cultivator Zhao's figure position could be accurately detected.

Once again, the Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer in Li Shiming's hand flashed with lightning, he pointed at the electromagnetic cannon on the Fourth Grade Xuanjia Puppet's shoulder, and lightning entered the electromagnetic cannon.

The electromagnetic cannon was also recharged by this time, and with the additional lightning, the electromagnetic cannon was once again fired at maximum power.

The Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure traversed the three hundred Baili distance, pierced through the mountain wall, and into the refuge.

This time, Great Cultivator Zhao managed to summon the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects,' but he did not summon all twelve 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects,' as he could not control them all given his severely injured condition.

Such fierce Ancient Spirit Worms, even contracted with the secret technique of the Gu Feng Sect, posed some risks of backlash.

Especially now, with his severe injuries, the possibility of a 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect' backlash increased significantly, so he dared not summon them all.
