Chapter 154: Chapter 123: Essence Blood_2
Li Shiming had no idea that there was a follow-up to Baili Jin Yan’s affair, as more than half a year had passed. He thought that the investigation from the Holy Ice Sect should have ended by now.
Besides, nothing had ever happened on Eagle Beak Island; all was peaceful.
At this moment, he was using his Spiritual Thought combined with his consciousness to conduct a thorough examination of his duplicate body.
The aura of the duplicate had completely transformed and bore no trace of Baili Jin Yan’s, coupled with the change in appearance, it was as if it were another person altogether.
However, whenever Li Shiming immersed his consciousness into the duplicate to practice the “Ice Heart Jade Thought Technique,” he always sensed the existence of some kind of spiritual energy within.
The duplicate had not felt this strongly when it had just recovered its Spiritual Thought, so he hadn’t paid much attention, but as the duplicate’s Spiritual Thought grew, this sensation became increasingly apparent.
Moreover, when the duplicate cultivated the “Ice Heart Jade Thought Technique,” the rate at which its Spiritual Thought strengthened seemed a bit too fast, even surpassing the rate of increase of his own true body’s Spiritual Thought.
Li Shiming divided the duplicate’s body into dozens of regions and started examining them at the micrometer level, meticulously probing each area.
He knew his realm was too low, so his search was exceedingly slow: micrometer by micrometer, his Spiritual Thought inching along in the examination.
Eventually, he found a suspicious detail—a droplet of essence blood within the heart.
He suspected this droplet because, although it seemed normal, when probed by Spiritual Thought, he discerned a hint of an abnormal aura.
If the duplicate’s aura had remained the same as before, Li Shiming would never have noticed anything peculiar about the droplet of essence blood.
The problem was that now the duplicate’s aura had completely changed, and although the aura of the essence blood was extremely faint, it didn’t fit in with the surrounding aura at all.
Aside from the aura of the essence blood, he failed to sense the special spiritual energy within it.
After some consideration, Li Shiming decided to let the duplicate cultivate the “Ice Heart Jade Thought Technique,” because every time he sensed the spiritual energy, it was when the duplicate was in the middle of cultivating the “Ice Heart Jade Thought Technique.”
At the same time, he had his true body’s Spiritual Thought and consciousness monitor this droplet of essence blood, so that he could detect any irregularities immediately should they occur.
With the operation of the “Ice Heart Jade Thought Technique,” this droplet of essence blood emitted an extremely pure spiritual energy into the duplicate’s body, enhancing the intensity of its Spiritual Thought.
Li Shiming finally understood the nature of the spiritual energy he had sensed— it was precisely this seemingly normal droplet of essence blood.
This essence blood was aiding Baili Jin Yan in cultivating the “Ice Heart Jade Thought Technique” through some unknown method.
In any case, with Li Shiming’s current realm, even with the help of his room’s space and an IBM z15, he couldn’t unravel the special nature of the essence blood.
What he didn’t know was that this was an act of a father’s selfless love. Elder Baili had used his own essence blood and a secret technique to extract it and transplanted it into his son, Baili Jin Yan’s, body.
This allowed him to stay on top of everything while swiftly advancing in the realm of Formation knowledge.
Suddenly, the IBMz15 stopped sharing Formation knowledge and issued a warning alert to him.
He understood that the vibrating eyepatch beside him was responding to his senses through the IBMz15’s alert.
A vibrating eyepatch indicated suspicious proximity.
He didn’t need to wear the eyepatch; by sending a Spiritual Thought into it, he could then see the abnormal location outside the island through a surveillance probe.
Speaking of surveillance probes, with the advent of micro-level chips, he had made many of them, covering all directions approaching Eagle Beak Island within the surveillance range.
Infrared combined with standard mode, processed and analyzed by the chip, would automatically send a preemptive warning to the relay device, that is, the eyepatch, whenever a suspicious situation arose.
At the same time, the surveillance probes would track the movement of suspicious targets and provide real-time tracking footage to the eyepatch.
Li Shiming’s Spiritual Thought acted as his eyes, seeing the image within the eyepatch, revealing a figure in a state of Invisibility.
Cultivators possess many Invisibility Techniques, but most of them are of little use to fellow cultivators, as even a simple Qi Observation Skill could unveil them.
Even without the use of Qi Observation Skill, a cultivator’s sensitivity to fluctuations in Spiritual Energy is enough to detect an Invisibility cultivator approaching within a certain distance.
Li Shiming’s surveillance probes naturally lacked this method, but the infrared mode was equally capable of detecting the target.
What surprised him, however, was that the target’s silhouette didn’t appear red as a normal cultivator would under the infrared night vision mode, which indicated the heat the body emits.
Even as cultivators, the body continuously emits heat, with stronger cultivators radiating more intense heat.
However, the figure in the surveillance was showing a deep blue color, indicative of a body temperature far below the surrounding temperature.
Luckily, when Li Shiming wrote the judgment program, he included the possibility of a low body temperature. He had encountered a similar cultivator before, though that one was a Devil Cultivator.
This Devil Cultivator was from the Xuanming Sect, very similar to the deep blue silhouette.
“Could it be a Xuanming Sect cultivator?” Li Shiming speculated in his mind.
But why would a Xuanming Sect cultivator sneak into Eagle Beak Island so secretly? This place was a forbidden area for Xuanming Sect cultivators.
Just then, he saw a second deep blue figure appear, and the two seemed to be exchanging words. Afterward, one of them extended a hand towards the Array.
