Chapter 656 (2/2)
Ling Yi, having followed Li Mingwu for a long time, naturally knew this situation as well.
So after hearing what Li Mingwu had said, he promptly asked:
“Island Master Li, what do you plan to do?”
Li Mingwu spoke, addressing True Lord Ling Yi:
“During this period, go to True Dragon Island and stay there for the time being.”
“After that, you can gradually make contact with the Dragon Cultivator.”
“The Five Elements Ruins are fatally tempting to those of us who have been at the Nascent Soul Peak for many years, and the Dragon Cultivator is no exception.”
“But he does not possess a Five Elements Command Token.”
“All you need to do is approach him at the right moment, then propose a cooperation to jointly eliminate Demon Lord Wan Mo.”
“As for the terms, it’s the Five Elements Water Command in Demon Lord Wan Mo’s possession.”
At this point, Li Mingwu sneered and continued:
“With this condition…”
“There’s no way the Dragon Cultivator could refuse.”
Upon hearing this, True Lord Ling Yi hastily spoke with flattery:
“Island Master Li, your wisdom is unparalleled.”
“Making contact with the Dragon Cultivator not only allows us to eliminate Demon Lord Wan Mo, removing one adversary but also to dissolve his alliance with Bai Yi.”
“By then, with only Bai Yi left, he certainly won’t be able to stir up any serious trouble.”
“We might even have the opportunity to eliminate Bai Yi as well.”
Li Mingwu shook his head and said:
“Bai Yi isn’t that foolish.”
“Our fight against Demon Lord Wan Mo is about taking him by surprise, to strike before he can react, and take the opportunity to join forces with the Dragon Cultivator to remove him.”
“But as soon as Demon Lord Wan Mo encounters trouble, Bai Yi will immediately become vigilant, and we will lose any chance we had.”
“We still lack the final Fire Command, which we’ve yet to find; we need to gather the other four tokens to deduce the location of the last Fire Command.”
“If we push Bai Yi into a corner, he might do something drastic, even possibly destroy the Five Elements Earth Command he holds.”
“In such a case, the loss would outweigh the gain.”
True Lord Ling Yi was embarrassed and bowed to Li Mingwu, saying:
“I understand.”
Li Mingwu nodded slightly, “Good, as long as you understand.”
“I’m going into seclusion for a while, so the task of contacting the Dragon Cultivator falls to you.”
True Lord Ling Yi nodded:
“Island Master Li, leave it to me and rest assured.”
…
…
Li Yan Island.
Ever since Lin Jing advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, Li Yan Island had once again flourished, especially the Li Yan Marketplace, which was among the top in the Thousand Islands Domain.
It could even nearly rival the marketplace of True Dragon Island.
Furthermore.
Yue Tian Island’s Island Master Bai Yi even made a point of taking care of Lin Jing.
Therefore, even though Lin Jing had been away for over twenty years, no one dared to covet the Li Yan Marketplace.
Before Lin Jing arrived at Li Yan Island, he noticed many cultivators heading there.
Most of these cultivators were at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
However, there were also quite a few at the Golden Core Stage.
Since Nascent Soul Cultivators were rare in the Thousand Islands Domain and resources weren’t abundant, not even the Li Yan Marketplace often had treasures that Nascent Soul Cultivators needed.
Hence, during the journey, Lin Jing didn’t come across any Nascent Soul Cultivators.
As he was approaching Li Yan Island, Lin Jing directly activated his Divine Sense, his abundant Divine Sense immediately surged outward, enveloping everything in front of him.
A Divinity Transformation stage’s Divine Sense could effortlessly probe hundreds of miles.
Lin Jing extended his Divine Sense like a canopy, instantly covering the nearby seas and Li Yan Island within it.
Everything on the island flashed into Lin Jing’s mind in an instant.
Of course.
Except for the northern region of Li Yan Island which was covered by a Formation, making it impossible to probe even with his Divinity Transformation stage’s Divine Sense.
Within Lin Jing’s Divine Sense, he could clearly see the happenings in the Li Yan Marketplace and the various activities within Li Yan City.
Nothing could escape his probe.
And under such an extensive Divine Sense scrutiny, the cultivators were oblivious, continuing with their own activities.
Their cultivation was simply too inferior compared to Lin Jing’s; if he didn’t want them to notice, they would never be able to detect anything.
Divine Sense works like this; as one’s Cultivation improves, the cultivator’s Divine Sense becomes more solid.
Low-grade cultivators can’t hide their actions under the Divine Sense probe of higher-grade cultivators.
Even when using Divine Sense for messaging, under the coverage of a higher-grade cultivator’s Divine Sense, it’s quite the same as broadcasting loudly.
For instance…
When Lin Jing and Zhang Jian faced Han Bingyan’s master, the message Zhang Jian transmitted to Lin Jing was heard word for word by Han Bingyan’s master.
It was for this reason that Zhang Jian ended up facing retaliation…
