Over there, Jade Ghost General was fighting with all his might, locked in an aerial battle against an expert of the same rank.
His opponent was an army remotely commanded by Li Qing's projection.
Jade Ghost General's every movement was under his control, and the jade plaque within his body now carried a trace of Li Qing's will as well.
The Immortal Jade Plaque had absorbed a massive amount of immortal substance during the war against the Buddhist Sect, but it was still short of the complete number of one yuan: Heavenly Dao Silver Blood, one of the twelve strongest immortal substances, and more than a dozen relatively obscure immortal substances.
These things were exceedingly rare. There were few Western Great Sect experts who cultivated such immortal substances, and Jade Ghost General had never encountered any in the Netherworld.
Li Qing's Present Body fell into thought. "Next, I have to find a way to make a Western Great Sect expert carrying Heavenly Dao Silver Blood die."
"And a few cultivators who possess obscure immortal substances as well."
Countless pieces of information flickered through his mind as he silently searched for suitable targets.
Before long, several targets came to mind. "Heavenly Blood Buddha, Dao-Teaching tier; Lion's Roar Buddha, Evolution tier; Drunken Snow Bodhisattva, Evolution tier."
"I can find a way to lure them onto this battlefield."
"However, those Infinite Mechanism experts from the Infinite Kingdoms have been watching me. I can't let them discern my objective from anything subtle about these people."
"I'll have to plan this carefully."
His gaze flickered slightly as countless plans took shape within his mind.
Very quickly, he came up with a feasible outline.
Within the space isolated by Barren Mountain lay the command center of the Infinite Mechanism side of the battlefield.
