Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 243: Chapter 168 Arrow Path

Two hundred li, for a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator, is an extremely short distance that, with the use of Secret Techniques, could be covered in just a dozen breaths.@@novelbin@@

Sitting in the Flying Boat, Li Shiming saw a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator from Beishu, transformed into a rainbow light rushing towards him.

He also saw the enormous illusory figure formed by Junior Master Song at the last moment just a short while ago. Although Junior Master Song had wronged him, dead men carry no quarrels, and watching Junior Master Song dissolve into nothingness, Shiming felt a sense of release.

Towards the approaching Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator, he simply smiled faintly.

He had great confidence in the rocket he had created. If it were the rockets from his previous world, it might have been possible for a Golden Core cultivator to catch up at the moment of launch.

But this rocket was different; it greatly reduced air resistance and didn’t need to worry about material limitations due to temperature. It just needed to maximize the combustion effect of liquid hydrogen to reach the maximum thrust theoretical in his previous world.

In the beginning, the rocket’s speed was not too fast, but after a few moments, under the influence of the powerful thrust, it sped up increasingly.

While still ascending, the rocket’s speed had already surpassed that of the Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator.

When the rocket reached an altitude of ten thousand meters and switched to horizontal flight, its speed had already reached Mach 7.

Standing a hundred li from Eagle Beak Island, the Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator stared dumbfounded at the speck of light in the sky, moving away at a speed that was hard for him to imagine.

It was not to say he was trying to chase anymore; now he didn’t even have the courage to try.

If someone had told him that he was chasing a Nascent Soul Ancestor, he would have believed it.

Because even Elder Cang could not achieve such speed, he found it hard to imagine that a cultivator with strength less than a Nascent Soul could reach such speed.

Not to mention Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivators, even Elder Cang was frowning at the rapidly vanishing rocket, startled by its speed even though he did not sense any strong aura.

In addition, the rocket’s altitude was nearing the Thirty-Three Heavens—a zone where any cultivator without enough strength flirting close would be courting death.

This made Elder Cang’s face show a look of concern; the Sky Sea Sect clearly had a secret, he just hoped it wouldn’t cause too much trouble in the future.

Li Shiming was unaware of what the Beishu Mingxin Sect Cultivators were thinking, as his attention was entirely focused on the dashboard.

This dashboard displayed data such as speed, altitude, fuel, and other monitoring data of the rocket; the current speed had reached a level that even worried him.

Initially, according to the rocket designs from his previous world, the rocket engine was only meant to reach a top speed of Mach 7.

But now, due to the combination of technologies from two worlds, the actual speed of the rocket had reached Mach 10.

At this speed, the Magic Artifact on the Flying Boat, which separated the air, consumed a tremendous amount of Spiritual Power, and had it not been for the Flying Boat’s efforts to reduce the frontal air resistance, the rocket could have generated a temperature under the friction that he wouldn’t be able to withstand.

He cautiously extended his Spiritual Thought out of the rocket; the Spiritual Thought replaced his eyes, allowing him to view the situation below.

He saw Seven Star Island, which appeared the size of ants. In just about twenty minutes, he had traveled from his sect to Seven Star Island, a journey that would usually take several two hours even with the assistance of such a fast Flying Artifact like the Flying Boat.

The rocket flew over the sea, and soon there were no reference points on the sea surface, seeming as though only the seawater existed between heaven and earth.

Li Shiming had already determined the direction, so there was no worry about going off course.

The only issue was that the maps of this world were simply not accurate; though he held a map of the Beihai in his hands, there were no accurate scales on the actual distances.

He did not know if the rocket’s fuel would be sufficient to cross the Beihai, but he only needed to cross the most dangerous central region. Even if it brought him further from the coast of Beishu, it would be relatively much safer.

After more than five hours of navigation, just as he thought he wouldn’t encounter any trouble at this height, he sensed a terrifying presence.

In the sea ahead, a huge shadowy figure appeared, cloaked in black fur with a body structure similar to humans, but he was sure it was not a human.

The aura it revealed carried a unique ferocity of sea beasts.

Li Shiming was unaware of the Nascent Soul Dharma Form, otherwise, he would have immediately recognized what the shadow was.

It was his misfortune; if his speed had not been so high or if he had flown at ten thousand meters, he wouldn’t have caught the attention of the Nascent Soul strength sea beast.

But given the rocket’s speed and the noise it made were extremely conspicuous, it made the Nascent Soul strength sea beast feel threatened.

Strong sea beasts have a sense of territory, and when another powerful entity passes through, it is considered an invasion, a provocation to the strong sea beast.

Since it was a provocation, the Nascent Soul strength sea beast naturally had to respond; the Nascent Soul Dharma Form transformed into a gigantic figure standing between heaven and earth.

The giant forcefully slapped towards the rocket, and no matter how fast the rocket was, it could not escape an interception attack from a Nascent Soul strength opponent.

Fortunately, since the Nascent Soul strength sea beast treated the rocket as an equal, it did not use the Divine Thought attack reserved for weaker foes; otherwise, a single wave of Divine Thought would have been enough to completely annihilate the rocket without needing the Nascent Soul Dharma Form’s physical attack.

Li Shiming’s scalp tingled, and as soon as he sensed the terrifying aura, his body was entirely suppressed by the difference in their realms.
