Chapter 12: Staying Immortal
The scene was kept intact, and the male cultivator was startled when he saw the deep pit.
Judging from the deep pit and the surroundings, the power of the strike was extremely astonishing, even surpassing that of ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
His figure flashed, and he arrived next to the deep pit. He lightly patted his storage bag, and a jade ruler appeared in his hand.
He tapped the deep pit and its surroundings with the jade ruler, which elicited no response at all, causing his brows to furrow and a confused look to appear in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Zhao, have you found anything?" the female cultivator asked from the side.
"Strange, there's not a trace of Spiritual Energy left behind by this strike!" the male cultivator looked at the jade ruler and replied uncertainly.
Though the mundane world has powerful martial artists, unless they reach the Innate stage, they are generally considered trivial to cultivators.
Even an Innate Martial Artist capable of threatening Qi Refining cultivators can only do so by launching a surprise attack, potentially severely wounding a Qi Refining cultivator unexpectedly.
As long as a Qi Refining cultivator is prepared and maintains a certain distance from the opponent, an Innate Martial Artist cannot pose a threat.
"Could it be the work of an Innate Martial Artist?" the female cultivator speculated.
"No, look at the strike's power. Although great, it's scattered and lacks solidity, definitely not the attack of an Innate Martial Artist!" the male cultivator, with greater experience, replied confidently.
The reason an Innate Martial Artist can threaten a Qi Refining Cultivator is that they can concentrate Innate Qi at a single point to pierce through defenses effectively.
