The terrain in the mountains was volatile. If you took a wrong step, you might easily lose your bearings. Chen Shi drilled into the mountains year-round, but if he were not careful, he would still get lost.
However, today's stone boat was like a bright beacon in Ganyang Mountain, continuously churning out rosy multicolored light to guide them.
Even more terrifying were the clashes between entities who had cultivated their primordial spirits. The fluctuations they emitted, even after being repeatedly attenuated by the mountains and trees, still made Chen Shi feel a flurry and palpitation in his heart when they reached him, as if invisible waves were piercing right through his chest, causing his heart to suddenly stop or speed up.
Experts who had cultivated their primordial spirits were simply this powerful.
"Lord Li faked his death to escape, making the stone boat the focal point of contention for all the heroes, while he himself can watch coldly from the sidelines. It is indeed a fine strategy."
Chen Shi led the way in front and suddenly said, "It's just that Lord Li faked his death after all. Once the stone boat incident is over, and Lord Li comes out to move about again, wouldn't he become a laughingstock?"
Li Xiaozheng didn't care at all, saying leisurely, "If one obtains real benefits, how could they care about a bad reputation? What's more, if I obtain the Great Ming treasure boat, on the one hand, my strength will greatly increase, and on the other, the Li family will reuse me. My status will be even higher. When people scold me, naturally there will also be people who revere me. By then, I'll pick a few respected Great Confucians and give them some money; the Great Confucians will naturally speak well of me.
