“Fellow Daoist Dan Zhouzi, that brat tried to activate the storage ring multiple times. That must mean that although his cultivation is insufficient, he has other people beside him or has some special Dharmic treasures!” Shan Lingzi hesitated before reminding Dan Zhouzi.
“So what?” Dan Zhouzi had an expression of disdain as he looked coldly at Shan Lingzi.
“You’ve only had your Dao karma destroyed. Don’t tell me your guts were destroyed as well. Even if that brat has someone beside him, there’s no way they’re a Planet realm. If they were, your storage ring would have been opened a long time ago. And if he has Dharmic treasures, wouldn’t that be better? Besides, he doesn’t know we’re chasing after him, so finding him will be a piece of cake!” As he spoke, Dan Zhouzi raised his right hand, and early-stage Planet realm cultivation disturbances spread forth from his body, gushing into the golden beetle.
As it was activated, the golden beetle’s wings spread and flapped rapidly on the spot. Layers of waves invisible to the naked eye spread out rapidly and covered quite a large area.
“My mount’s intrinsic divine power can check signs of abnormal movement from Eternal Star realms and below. If that brat is traveling quickly, I’ll notice him in a short while!” Dan Zhouzi narrowed his eyes and controlled the golden beetle to fly towards the front, using its intrinsic divine power to search the surroundings for all signs of movement.
The golden beetle’s search could make Dan Zhouzi so confident because of its incisiveness. However, Wang Baole was cautious, having hidden in the meteorite. Hence, the golden beetle’s search failed.
After all, he didn’t move, making use of the meteorite’s trajectory instead. That way, unless his Divine Sense swept over him at close range, it was impossible to detect him with Dan Zhouzi’s early-stage Planet realm cultivation.
Moreover… since Wang Baole’s plan was great and he was cautious enough, he could avoid Shan Lingzi and Dan Zhouzi, causing them to be unable to pick up on his trail again. They could only continue expanding their search radius.
That way, the possibility of them accurately finding Wang Baole’s location at the earliest possible time was greatly reduced. And once Wang Baole really managed to hide for several months, it would be highly possible to return safely to the Divine Eye civilization when he left again.
Of course, the prerequisite of all of that was that Wang Baole didn’t know that he was only facing an early-stage Planet realm. As for Shan Lingzi… in his current state, he couldn’t even take one hit when facing Wang Baole.
If he knew his opponents were only that strong, with Wang Baole’s personality, there was a 90% chance that he would choose to actively attack and try to kill them, choosing to kill off his future threats.
However… although he didn’t know that his opponents weren’t out of his league, his hiding spot was still found by Shan Lingzi and Dan Zhouzi after half a month.
It wasn’t that Wang Baole was exposed, but… the paper human cutout in the storage ring he sealed somehow broke open the seal again, and the strange laughter rang in Wang Baole’s mind once more. Although the laughter only lasted for a moment, Wang Baole’s soul still jolted.
The laughter didn’t bring the ethereal spirit boat this time, but Wang Baole was extremely troubled. He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart towards the strangeness of the paper human cutout. Just as he was about to reseal it, Wang Baole’s expression suddenly changed as he raised his head to look upwards. His Divine Sense also spread out to look at the cosmos.
When he looked towards the cosmos, his Divine Sense instantly locked onto an area in the distance that suddenly went blurry. Following that, a giant golden beetle appeared from that area!
Within the golden beetle were Shan Lingzi and Dan Zhouzi. They previously searched for half a month but couldn’t find Wang Baole’s trail. While that made Shan Lingzi feel anxious, it also made Dan Zhouzi feel that his reputation had taken a hit. After all, he vowed solemnly previously. However, just as he was also starting to feel anxious and impatient, Shan Lingzi suddenly found the storage ring’s disturbances again.
And coincidentally… their position wasn’t far away from where the disturbances came from. So, Dan Zhouzi didn’t hesitate to use some of his cultivation to control the golden beetle and unleash a cosmos teleportation!
