Chapter 1150: Chapter 621: Thunderclap (Part 2)
He could only draw one-third of the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow,’ but in the hands of Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng, it was effortlessly drawn fully.
After drawing the bow fully, Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng maintained the bow-pulling posture, and at this time, the thirty million energy storage arrays of the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ frantically transformed power into energy, and as Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng maintained it, continuous power kept being input into the bow, transformed into energy.
Li Shiming judged that within ten breaths, the thirty million energy storage arrays inside the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ could be filled with energy.
He shook his head; if he were to charge it himself, he feared that even pulling for a whole day couldn’t fill the thirty million energy storage arrays with energy.
This is not about storing energy proportionately according to how much the bow is drawn, but storing energy based on the magnitude of the power.
There was an unbridgeable chasm between his power and that of Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng.
After Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng drew the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ for more than ten breaths, he couldn’t increase the energy storage in the bow any further.
Li Shiming intentionally let Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng hold it for a hundred breaths longer, realizing that Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng hadn’t reached his limit at all; he couldn’t even detect the strength limit of Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng.
The energy arrows formed on the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ reached the fourth-grade high-stage level, which was the design limit of the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow.’
The terrifying power of Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng allowed the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ in his hands to reach full design capacity.
"Release!" Li Shiming commanded the Heavenly Ghost.
Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng released the bowstring, and with a space-shattering bow sound, arrows shot forth, almost beyond ’Divine Eye’ observation.
Li Shiming had previously thought that in the Cultivation World, there might be no methods comparable to the ’railgun’ in terms of shooting speed with the Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasure, but he found himself wrong.
The arrow shot out from the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ under the ten breath charge of Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng reached a speed comparable to that of a ’railgun.’
The arrow released from the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ only began to enter the speed decline phase after flying two hundred miles.
Though the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ couldn’t compare to the ’railgun’ in attack range, it far surpassed the ’railgun’ in terms of power.
The arrows flew out, leaving a faint space-breaking trail within two hundred miles of space.
Li Shiming, feeling the arrow’s power, could only sense his scalp tingling, fearing that facing such an attack, even dodging seemed impossible, and he’d be shot dead on the spot.
It’s unimaginable, the Great Cultivator Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng combined with the Fourth Grade Top-level Artifact Tribulation Treasure ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow,’ achieving such power.
He did not know whether the power of ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ could threaten the Great Cultivator, as he couldn’t accurately judge the combat prowess of a Great Cultivator, but he could be certain that if the enemy was a Great Cultivator with similar powers to Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng, even body defense alone could absolutely not withstand the arrow shot from the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow.’
Li Shiming was quite pleased, having gained another method to enhance his combat power, not just a slight enhancement, but an extreme one.
He was one hundred percent sure that among Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, there’s likely no one who could withstand an arrow shot by Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng using the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow.’
His design of the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ may have originated from the ’Sun Shooting Technique,’ yet in artifact refining design, it exceeded the expected power of the bow-type magical treasure recorded in the ’Sun Shooting Technique.’
The ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ transformed the power of Great Cultivator Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng into long-range attacks, even fully converting Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng’s power into long-range attacks.
In other words, a full power shot of the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ was equivalent to Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng’s close-range full power strike, or rather, it should be the full power strike effect of Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng using his life-bound treasure, ’Mystic Ice Divine Whip.’
These were Li Shiming’s estimations, primarily because the power of the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ currently surpassed the scope he could accurately judge at his realm.
He stored Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng away; presently, Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng possessed two treasures, one being the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow,’ and the other the ’Mystic Ice Divine Whip,’ both far and near were comprehensive.
Li Shiming activated the invisibility effect of the ’Chameleon Cloak,’ casting ’At Arm’s Length, Worlds Apart’ to return to the sect.
After advancing a certain distance, he sensed the aura of four Thunder Cultivators, which surprised him.
He concealed his aura, unnoticed by the four Thunder Cultivators.
Mainly, the four Thunder Cultivators were not concealing their aura at all, thus allowing him to sense it from afar.
Li Shiming, through ’Divine Eye,’ observed the four Thunder Cultivators; merely from their aura, he discovered all four Thunder Cultivators were practicing the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture.’
Further observation through ’Divine Eye’ revealed that the treasures possessed by the four Thunder Cultivators bore the ’Yuqing Sect’ mark.
"Strange, why are there so many Thunder Cultivators from Yuqing Sect?" he wondered bemusedly.
He knew that Yuqing Sect was far away in West Yan Continent, and Thunder Cultivators of Yuqing Sect seldom appeared in Dongqi Continent.
The last time he saw Thunder Cultivators from Yuqing Sect arrive in Dongqi Continent was when Yuqing Sect’s Wang Yuan was besieged by practitioners from White Emperor Sect, leading Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect to dispatch two Great Cultivators to investigate the matter.
After more than a year of investigation by the two Great Cultivators, they didn’t gain any results and left.
Afterward, Yuqing Sect dispatched a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator to Dongqi Continent, a matter Li Shiming learned from the sect’s intelligence.
Li Shiming had been monitoring the news between Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect; the intelligence system of Ten Thousand Beast Sect hadn’t detected any more Yuqing Sect Nascent Soul Cultivators arriving in Dongqi Continent.
He furrowed his brows slightly, sensing that trouble might be onset.
He knew the preciousness of the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl,’ capable of enhancing by a minor realm, even he, a Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner, couldn’t wield even a hundredth of the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’s’ power.
Li Shiming suspected that the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ might have enhancement effects for Mahayana realm powerhouse alike.
If that were the case, Yuqing Sect’s dispatch of numerous Thunder Cultivators to Dongqi Continent wouldn’t be a strange affair.
Yet, the investigation approach of Yuqing Sect requires deliberation. If the four Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators he’s seen are the entirety, it would suggest Yuqing Sect’s heightened investigative efforts.
If the four Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators are merely part of it, then Yuqing Sect’s mobilized force indicates intentions beyond investigation.
Li Shiming mused inwardly, commanding his life-bound treasure IBMz15 to instruct the Drone Satellite System to keep surveillance on these four Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators, consistently monitoring their whereabouts.
Without alarming the four Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators, he quietly left.
Additionally, he took out his Identity Jade Disc, reporting this discovery to his master, Grandmaster Hu.
If Yuqing Sect were truly initiating any actions, it was best for Ten Thousand Beast Sect to be forewarned.
"Shizhen, you’ve gone out?" Grandmaster Hu responded with a query.
"Yes, Master, I am returning to the sect!" he replied via the Identity Jade Disc.
"Do not linger outside, the four Yuqing Sect Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators you reported are only part of the Yuqing Sect’s dispatched Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators to Dongqi Continent. According to intelligence from various sources, Yuqing Sect has already dispatched at least thirty Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators to Dongqi Continent.
Ten Thousand Beast Sect, along with the other three major local sects, are already negotiating; the sect has developed countermeasures. You are too easily exposed outside for having cultivated the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture.’ Once back, do not leave the sect again, as Dongqi Continent is expected to undergo substantial unrest in the upcoming period!" Grandmaster Hu advised.
"Indeed!" Li Shiming sighed inwardly.
With thirty detected Yuqing Sect Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators, how many remain unnoticed?
Yuqing Sect’s dispatch of so many Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators couldn’t possibly be merely for investigating the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ matter but more likely for territorial acquisition. Once they gain control over Dongqi Continent, investigating the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ would be even more convenient.
