Chapter 3922: Leaving Calmly
Li Shiming flew into a thunderous rage, and quickly set off in pursuit of Ling Han, wanting to blast Ling Han into smithereens.
Top-notch prodigies naturally mastered high-level movement techniques. When Li Shiming was Cauldron Forging Tier, his speed was probably only slightly inferior to Ling Han’s. Now that he had advanced into the Core Formation Tier, his speed naturally increased to another level, completely surpassing Ling Han.
He rapidly approached, and delivered a palm strike at Ling Han’s back.
Ling Han humphed as he unleashed his divine light of illusion. Li Shiming was instantly struck, and entered a dazed state.
However, a Core Formation Tier was far too powerful. If Ling Han attacked him at this moment, he would definitely instinctively counterattack. That would be far from good.
The divine light of illusion was not used like this.
Ling Han set his eyes on the other two young men. At present, he was still unable to kill the main culprit, so he would kill these two lackeys first.
What!
The other two young men were shocked. Why had their “Brother Li” suddenly become stupid and stopped attacking?
The two of them looked at each other, and hurriedly ran towards Li Shiming.
Ling Han was far too bizarre, and this caused them to feel a sense of apprehension.
However, when they neared Li Shiming, the fool-like Li Shiming suddenly moved. Shua! His hands shot toward one of them.
How could the two of them have imagined that Li Shiming would make a move on them? They were completely unguarded. Furthermore, Li Shiming was a Core Formation Tier cultivator, so even if they were prepared, so what?
What the f*ck!
Pa, pa! They were all mangled by Li Shiming’s palm strike.
Er, Ling Han rubbed his chin in thought. Why was he snatching away his business?
“You!” At this moment, Li Shiming suddenly came back to his senses. After all, the divine light of illusion had been activated by Ling Han, so its might had been greatly reduced. Thus, it had much less influence on Core Formation Tier cultivators.
Ling Han spread his hands, “This has nothing to do with me. You were the one who killed them.”
Li Shiming was furious. He naturally knew that he had fallen into Ling Han’s illusion, and that was why he had accidentally killed his own people. The problem was, he, a dignified Core Formation Tier, had actually fallen into the illusion of a Cauldron Forging Tier. How could he bring himself to complain?
If word of this got out, he would definitely be laughed at by others!
He suppressed his anger, and a strong killing intent rose up in him.
“Die!”
He charged over, and shot out a palm strike, intending to crush Ling Han into dust.
Ling Han hurriedly ran. At present, he was still no match for a Core Formation Tier cultivator, especially a prodigy like Li Shiming.
Li Shiming gave chase. His speed was even faster than Ling Han’s, and it wasn’t long before he caught up to him.
With a thought from Ling Han, the murderous aura surged out.
Li Shiming paused for a moment before immediately returning to normal. He continued to pursue Ling Han.
As expected, though the barrage of murderous aura was awesome, its effects on high-level cultivators was considerably inferior. This was more suitable for group battles. As long as one’s cultivation level was lower than his, no matter how many of them came, a murderous aura would be shot out, and they would be instantly struck.
“Mere tricks!” Li Shiming sneered. This only made him pause for a moment, and had almost no effect.
Ling Han smiled, and the divine light of illusion shot out once more.
Li Shiming instantly fell into a daze. He was lost in his illusion again.
He would seek this guy out for an accounting in the future.
Ling Han immediately dashed into the distance.
The natural and earthly energy on the island was extremely abundant, so the trees here grew astonishingly tall. Large trees that were several hundred meters tall could be seen everywhere, and even ordinary grass could grow to the height of a few people.
Ling Han searched around the island. There were many people here, and there were even more people rushing over. Battle after bloody battle broke out for the Celestial medicine.
Seven days passed, and Ling Han still did not find any trace of the celestial light. However, he was presently refining the Celestial Ginseng that he had previously plucked.
He did not touch the main ginseng, but merely ate some roots.
It couldn’t be helped. This was a True Self Tier-level Great Herb. If he directly ingested the main ginseng, the only result would be overdoing it and killing himself.
This was really a Great Herb. Even if it was just a few roots, they were extremely nutritious, allowing Ling Han’s cultivation level to advance rapidly.
He had already formed a leg for his eighth cauldron, and how long had it been since he had advanced into Eight Cauldrons?
At this rate, he would be able to reach the consummate level of Eight Cauldrons in a month’s time, at most, and break through to the Nine Cauldrons.
The island was filled with fierce battles. There were many Celestial medicines here, and they were all extremely valuable. They could easily make a Core Formation Tier or even a True Self Tier cultivator battle to the death. Additionally, everyone was also searching for the place where the Black Tortoise died.
A Divine Beast should have left behind quite a lot of good stuff.
Ling Han was in no hurry. It would be best if he could find the place of death of the Black Tortoise only after he advanced into Nine Cauldrons. In that way, his competitiveness would
be much stronger.
Geniuses and prodigies gathered here. Song Lan, Prosperous Heaven, Feng Jixing, and so on all arrived. Furthermore, quite a number of young prodigies had even broken through to the Core Formation Tier. This caused super geniuses like Feng Jixing and the other prodigies to be unable to keep up.
The competition became even more intense, and the outcome to be even more uncertain.
Ling Han kept a very low profile. He was just looking for celestial light, and digging the Celestial medicine here and there. Coincidentally, he also encountered divine substance. As time passed, his cultivation level was also increasing.
Another dozen over days later, a big piece of news came out.
-The place of death of the Black Tortoise had been found!
Instantly, everyone headed in that direction.
The Black Tortoise was the descendant of Xuanwu. Though it was not a real Divine Beast, it must have inherited the bloodline of the Divine Beast, and according to legends, the Black Tortoise Divine Beast had mastered the strongest defensive technique in the world.
Black Tortoise Earth Technique, close to invincible defense.
According to legends, when the creation of heaven and earth began, the Divine Beasts were first born. They were nurtured by the heaven and earth, and they were all Ancestral King-level
beings.
However, the Ancestral King’s lifespan wasn’t unlimited, so these Divine Beasts also died one after another. The heaven and earth weren’t as crazy anymore. Afterward, there was only one Ancestral King in each generation, invincible in the world.
If the Black Tortoise Earth Technique really existed here, then even an Imperial Clan would be moved, and Saints would also move, wanting to learn it.
Ling Han thought for a moment, but did not move out. Instead, he continued to circle around
outside.
At present, there were really too many cultivators of the Core Formation Tier here. Even the old monsters of the True Self Tier had been mobilized. Thus, his cultivation level of =mere Eight Cauldrons was too weak.
He wanted to first cultivate to Nine Cauldrons. This would increase his abilities by an additional bit. Then, if a fight really broke out, his chances of obtaining it would naturally be
much higher.
Of course, this was because he possessed a True Self Tier-level Great Herb, which allowed him
to quickly cultivate and forge the Celestial Cauldron.
If this was known to others, they would definitely scold him for being wasteful. This was a treasure that could greatly improve the cultivation level of a True Self Tier
cultivator. In fact, it could even help one break through the barrier to the next cultivation level. It was indescribably valuable, and now, it was actually used by a Cauldron Forging Tier cultivator to improve his cultivation level. Just how much of a waste was this?
However, how could Ling Han possibly care? His own strength was the true way to go. Everything else was useless.
His luck was not too bad. Though he did not find any more Great Herbs, there was still a considerable amount of divine substance.
Another dozen over days later, Ling Han finally reached the consummate level of Eight
Cauldrons.
Without waiting for him to begin breaking through, the island trembled violently. He
followed the tracks, and saw a large number of people running out of the cave, all of them
battered and exhausted.
Not long after, a colossal White Snake slithered out of the hole. With a twist, a few Core Formation Tier cultivators were instantly crushed into minced meat.
