Cultivation is just so scientific!

After using the "Step by Step Lotus" for a long time, it wasn't the leisurely mentality he had when traveling on the road, but rather a matter of life and death velocity.

Li Shiming felt exhausted, and this exhaustion was mainly from his spirit; he definitely did not want to experience being hunted by a False Infant Cultivator again.

He took out a Fourth-grade Array Plate and re-established ownership of it.

After tossing out the Fourth-grade Array Plate, it instantly transformed into a Formation named "Sumeru Mustard Seed Array" upon touching the ground.

He then took out eighteen Third Grade Array Flags and placed them at the specific nodes on the "Sumeru Mustard Seed Array."

Originally, because the "Sumeru Mustard Seed Array" was set up using an Array Plate, it was a lot less spiritual in nature, but with the addition of the eighteen Third Grade Array Flags, its spirituality greatly increased.

He was extremely satisfied with this "Sumeru Mustard Seed Array Plate," after all, it was a Fourth-grade Array Plate.

A Fourth-grade Array Plate was a Spiritual Object that only a Nascent Soul Ancestor would qualify to possess. Even though the "Sumeru Mustard Seed Array Plate" was not adept at defense but rather used for concealing oneself, its defensive power was enough to withstand an attack from a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator.

With this "Sumeru Mustard Seed Array Plate," he wouldn't have to worry about being attacked by Golden Core cultivators in the future. Combined with "Step by Step Lotus" to widen the gap and using the "Sumeru Mustard Seed Array" for self-protection.

Sitting within the "Sumeru Mustard Seed Array," Li Shiming finally took a long breath, relaxing both his spirit and body.

No matter how it looked today, seemingly without even fighting, the dangers were even more severe than any incident he had ever encountered before.

It wasn't that he didn't fight, but that he simply didn't have the qualifications to act against a False Infant.

If he hadn't made a decisive move and found the corpse of Supervisor Feng Yi, he couldn't guarantee his ability to evade Supervisor Feng Yi's assassination attempts within Fire Cloud Valley.

He bet right, and he succeeded. He survived, and Supervisor Feng Yi died.

Thinking of Supervisor Feng Yi, Li Shiming cast his spirit into the Space of the engine room.

In the not so large room of the Space, the corpse of Supervisor Feng Yi was still sitting in a meditative posture.

This corpse was alive, and had not lost its vitality due to the destruction of the False Infant.

The situation of Supervisor Feng Yi was very rare; the body of a False Infant Cultivator was both a container and protection for the False Infant.

Normally, the spirit would only leave the body voluntarily as a cultivator, unless, like this time, Supervisor Feng Yi chose to secretly infiltrate Fire Cloud Valley, capturing Li Shiming to retrieve the treasures, that he would actively project his False Infant.

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator's body would be destroyed before the False Infant or Nascent Soul, and it would be rare to see a situation where the False Infant or Nascent Soul perishes while the body remains intact.

What Li Shiming saw was merely a vessel of False Infant, an empty corpse without a soul.

Within the Space, he could conduct a meticulous observation with micron-level precision from a God's-eye view.

Hence, even if he used Divine Thought to scan this body outside, he'd be unable to look closely or sense much due to the powerful aura exuded by the corpse.

But within the Space, he didn't have these concerns.

"Hiss!" When he started to observe the skin of the body, he inhaled a cold breath.

Under micron-level observation, he noticed countless tiny patterns interlinked on the surface of the skin.

These tiny patterns, composed of crystal-clear Spiritual Power, enveloped every cell on the skin. Under Li Shiming's observation, this surpassed the category of a human body; it was almost half-energized.

He also thought back to when the "Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun" failed to pierce this body's skin, which spoke volumes about the defensive power under these tiny patterns.

This was just the skin; when he sensed deeper into the body, every cell he could detect was also covered with the tiny patterns.

He did not know the strength of this body, but the defensive prowess it exhibited was stronger than any Body Refinement technique used by Golden Core cultivators.

If he could employ such a powerful body, though it had lost the False Infant and thus did not possess its strength, it would be much easier to deal with Golden Core cultivators; not even a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator could break through the defense of this body.

"What a pity!" Li Shiming had no intention of trying to control this body; at least with his current realm, it was impossible to even attempt to control this False Infant's body.

Being Half-step Golden Core was still just at the Foundation Establishment stage, and with such a realm, dreaming of controlling a False Infant's body was simply delusional.

After scanning the body, he found Supervisor Feng Yi's spatial items, which were an exceedingly plain ring.

At least from the outward appearance of the ring, it didn't seem like a space item. All the Space Rings he had seen before were similar in shape, differing only in some pattern designs.

But this simple ring had no discernible patterns and was carved from some kind of stone.

The craftsmanship of the ring was not sophisticated, merely smooth round, raising fears that it might break upon the slightest touch.

Yet when Li Shiming's spirit touched it, he sensed something strange; he could observe the ring in the Space with a God's-eye view, but when he tried to contact it with his spirit, the ring was as if non-existent.

With a thought, the plain ring was taken off the finger of the corpse in the Space.

He looked at his palm and couldn't see the plain ring. If not for the tactile sensation, he would have thought there really was nothing there.

The ring itself had an Invisibility function. He wore the ring on his finger then extended his Divine Thought into it.

His Divine Thought was easily absorbed by the ring and efficiently claimed ownership of it.
