Chapter 155: Chapter 124: Tracking
The two cultivators who arrived were Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators from the Holy Ice Sect, and they practiced the Holy Ice Sect’s main cultivation technique, which filled their bodies with chilly spiritual power. This is why they appeared deep blue in infrared mode.
These two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, taking advantage of the night, made their way to Eagle Beak Island as if it were a route they knew well.
The last time, it was them who came to assassinate, and this time they had come again.
One of the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators took out an Array Breaking Talisman. When the spiritual power was stimulated, the talisman emitted a beam of white light that flew into the small Mountain Protection Array.
“What’s going on? Why is the Array Breaking Talisman useless?” Seeing the white light disappear as if a stone ox had entered the sea, he asked in bewilderment.
Little did he know that the defensive formation on Eagle Beak Island had been replaced with a smaller Mountain Protection Array. Unless someone employed a powerful method to crack it, a formidable Array Master, many times more skilled than Li Shiming, would have to make a personal appearance to possibly break through the small Mountain Protection Array.
Array Breaking Talismans were precious because they could allow a cultivator with not even the slightest foundation in formation techniques the possibility of breaking through a formation.
However, Array Breaking Talismans weren’t omnipotent. Their creation involved taking the experience of an intermediate or higher level Array Master in breaking formations and gathering it onto a talisman with the aid of some spiritual objects.
Such Array Breaking Talismans could easily break lower-level formations in one strike, but for relatively high-level formations like the small Mountain Protection Array, they lost their effect.
Of course, there were different grades of Array Breaking Talismans. If one was made by a great master of formation techniques, it might still cause chaos in the small Mountain Protection Array, thereby opening a passage.
Clearly, the two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators weren’t using a great master’s Array Breaking Talisman; those wouldn’t be wasted to deal with a Qi Refining cultivator—it simply wasn’t cost-effective.
