Liu Ming pondered for a while, then he got up and walked out of the cave house. He turned into a black light and flew toward the main peak of the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range.
After 15 minutes, he arrived outside the main hall of the Taiqing Sect's main peak.
The strange thing was that there was no one at the gate that was usually heavily guarded. When Liu Ming was hesitating whether he should find someone to inform, Daoist Tian Ge's voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Come in."
Hearing this, Liu Ming calmed down, pushed open the door and walked in.
Previously, the hall was empty except for Daoist Tian Ge. There was no one else in sight.
"Greetings, Sect Leader." Liu Ming's eyes flashed. He walked to Daoist Tian Ge and bowed.
"No need to be so polite."
Daoist Tian Ge looked at Liu Ming from head to toe. Seeing that Liu Ming was full of energy, he nodded slightly.
"Come with me."
Daoist Tian Ge waved his hand and walked into the inner room of the hall.
Liu Ming quickly followed.
Not long after, the two of them passed through a corridor and arrived at a rather remote side hall.
"Okay, I won't say anything else. After this period of preparation, the plan against the Stemborer Race near the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range is almost ready. However, the success or failure of this battle still depends on your mission. " After Daoist Tian Ge sat down on a chair in the side hall, he didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
"Please enlighten me, Sect Leader." Liu Ming took a deep breath and said.
Daoist Tian Ge waved his sleeve, and a fist-sized light ball flashed in the air. Then, he quickly pointed a few times with his finger.
All of a sudden, brilliant spiritual light erupted from the ball of light, and a projection of a map slowly appeared before becoming more and more substantial.
Liu Ming looked at the map. It was the terrain of the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range. Several space tunnels and gathering places of the stemborers were clearly marked on it.
"After many investigations by our sect's disciples, the largest spatial passage near the Myriad Spirit Mountain Range is at the Sunset Peak in the west of the Myriad Spirit Mountain Range. There are also the most stemborers gathered there. After some discussion, the Elemental Enlightenment Elders decided to exterminate all of the stemborers near Dawnfall Peak. As long as we kill the stemborers here, we'll be able to cut off the central hub. The other stemborers won't be able to do anything, "Enlightened Master Tian Ge said.
Liu Ming nodded and said nothing.
"The number of stemborers that have gathered at Dawnfall Peak is now in the millions. This number is nothing to the Taiqing Gate. However, the spatial passageway there is extremely wide. In order to prevent more stemborers from suddenly appearing, we'll need you to infiltrate the nearby area first. When we begin our counterattack, use a treasure that can cause spatial chaos to seal the spatial passageway, "Daoist Master Tian Ge instructed.
After listening, Liu Ming's expression was a little ugly.
Although he had guessed that the mission would not be simple, he did not expect it to be this kind of mission.
According to Daoist Master Tian Ge, he needed to infiltrate the center of the stemborer army and wait for an opportunity to seal the spatial passageway with a secret treasure.
This was no longer a matter of danger, it was simply suicide.
According to the information he received from Yin Jiuling, the Sect's Grand Elder Feng Qing was forced to retreat from this Dawnfall Peak.
"Sect Master, please forgive this disciple for overstepping his bounds. As far as I know, there are Arcane Enlightenment stemborers in the spatial passageway of Dawnfall Peak. There are also many Celestial stemborers nearby. I am but a mere Jin Dan cultivator, how could I possibly infiltrate under their noses, let alone seal the spatial passageway?" Liu Ming could only speak in a tactful manner.
"Since the Sect has entrusted this mission to you, we naturally won't let you go just like that. This is a Shadow Evasion Talisman, a concealment talisman personally refined by our sect's Grand Elder. Once you use this talisman, as long as you don't use magic power, even an Arcane Enlightenment cultivator will not be able to detect you. The lower the cultivation level of this talisman, the more powerful it is. If you use this talisman, it should not be difficult for you to infiltrate Dawnfall Peak. "Daoist Master Tian Ge waved his hand and took out a palm-sized, glowing talisman.
Hearing this, Liu Ming's expression relaxed a little.
If this talisman really had such an effect, as long as he was careful, he should be able to infiltrate Dawnfall Peak.
"The Stemborers are extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations. Any spell fluctuations will attract their attention, so after you infiltrate, you can only pass through the blockade of the stemborer army on foot. If anything happens along the way, you can only rely on your physical strength to end the battle quickly. Do not use any magic power, otherwise, you should know what will happen," Daoist Master Tian Ge said with a serious expression.
Liu Ming nodded. At the same time, he came to a realization. No wonder the Sect was looking for someone with powerful physical strength to complete this mission.
"As for the Arcane Enlightenment Stemborers, you don't have to worry about them. Once the battle starts, Elder Xuan Yu will find a way to lure them away. You just need to use this Celestial Mirror to seal the passage." Daoist Master Tian Ge turned his hand and took out a black mirror. He handed it to Liu Ming together with the Heaven Evasion Talisman.
Seeing this, Liu Ming bowed and took it with both hands.
The Heaven Evasion Talisman was warm to the touch. From time to time, some runes that were difficult to understand flashed across it. Liu Ming tried to use his Divine Sense to examine it and faintly felt that it contained an extremely obscure spiritual power.
The other treasure, the Celestial Mirror, looked ordinary. However, the surface of the mirror was faintly shining like water waves.
Liu Ming glanced at it and immediately looked away. He keenly sensed that the mirror contained an extremely violent power of space.
"These two treasures are one-time use treasures, especially the Celestial Mirror, which can only be activated once. You must grasp the opportunity to use it!" Daoist Master Tian Ge said in a low voice when he saw Liu Ming's thoughtful look.
"Yes, disciple understands." Liu Ming put the two treasures into the Sumeru Ring and said solemnly.
"Okay, I will teach you the method to activate it. Try to master it. In half a month, we will officially start the operation... "Daoist Master Tian Ge nodded and immediately explained the method to activate the Celestial Mirror to Liu Ming in detail.
In the following time, he explained some information about the Stemborers. After giving Liu Ming a few things that would be useful for the journey, he sent Liu Ming out of the secret chamber.
...
Half a month later, in a mountain range a few hundred miles away from the Taiqing Gate.
This place should have been a green forest, but because of the previous battle, there were not many left. At a glance, there were many huge holes created by the Dharma treasures.
Occasionally, there would be a few wisps of black smoke floating in the distance. It seemed to be telling of the battle that had just taken place here.
Under the shade of the trees, a black figure flashed out. It was Liu Ming.
At this moment, Liu Ming was like a hidden black panther, looking at a gray mountain in the distance.
That was where the Dawnfall Peak was located. The whole mountain was covered in circles of gray fog.
He was at the outermost area of the Stemborer army.
Since half a day ago, under the leadership of Daoist Master Tian Ge, the disciples of the Taiqing Gate had been gathering around the Dawnfall Peak. Now there were thousands of them and they had fought several small battles with the Stemborers.
Liu Ming understood that Daoist Master Tian Ge was attracting the attention of the Stemborers so that it would be easier for him to sneak in.
Thinking of this, Liu Ming chanted. Strands of green light shone from his left shoulder and quickly spread to the rest of his body. Soon, he turned into a hazy figure and silently moved toward the Dawnfall Peak.
Liu Ming didn't plan on using the Heaven Evasion Talisman for now. He could use the concealment ability of the Che Huan totem to hide from the low level Stemborers.
Although the Heaven Evasion Talisman was exquisite, it had a time limit. According to Daoist Master Tian Ge, the effect of the talisman could only last for a day and a night at most.
He didn't know how long this infiltration mission would take, so he wouldn't use the Heaven Evasion Talisman unless he had no other choice.
The shadow that Liu Ming turned into made use of all kinds of concealment in the mountain range to quickly run into the distance.
He hid all the magic power in his body and only used his strong body to rush toward the target area.
Using only the power of his body to rush, his speed naturally wasn't that fast. After an hour, he had only moved a hundred miles.
At this moment, a low roar came from the front, mixed with the sound of smacking.
This sound couldn't be more familiar to Liu Ming. He frowned and hid behind a big rock. He peeked out and looked forward.
There were more than 20 black stemborers devouring some injured stemborers. One of the black stemborers was seventy to eighty feet long, and its aura had reached the peak of the Crystallization Period. As it continued to devour, its aura continued to increase.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed slightly. His figure moved, and he was about to take a detour. However, after his body moved a little, he suddenly stopped.
Along the way, he encountered a lot of stemborers, but they were all low level stemborers that couldn't detect his traces.
However, whether the Jin Dan State stemborers could see through the concealment effect of the Che Huan totem, Liu Ming hadn't tried.
Perhaps this was an opportunity.
This was still the outskirts of the stemborer army. Even if he was seen through here, it would be easy for him to escape.
With this in mind, Liu Ming continued to hide behind the big rock.
The black stemborer killed an injured stemborer with one bite. It opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and swallowed the stemborer whole.
The black stemborer's body suddenly lit up with a black light, and a powerful aura spread out. It had broken through to the Jin Dan State.
"Roar …" The black stemborer let out a low roar. The surrounding stemborers that were devouring stemborers immediately retreated far away, looking at the black stemborer in awe.
The black stemborers let loose a triumphant screech, seemingly quite pleased with this outcome, and slowly devoured all of the wounded stemborers on the battlefield.
The last injured stemborer entered the black stemborer's stomach. The black stemborer swayed its body and flew toward the Dusk Fall Peak.
At this moment, there was a light clatter, like the sound of a stone hitting the ground.
