Although the speed of the space carrier cannot match that of the cultivators, it is not too slow for a flight base. It took less than an hour for the space carrier to traverse half of Cherry Blossom Country Island after landing on the southwest side of the Cherry Blossom Country Island.

The damage to the left half of the island was relatively minor, just from the earthquake, which caused considerable damage. However, the damage to the entire right half of the island was much more severe. The entire island was cracked in the middle, and the entire right half of the island was noticeably tilted.

Whether it's the obviously crooked high-rise buildings or the anomalous situation that can be felt even from the space carrier, everything demonstrates just how severe the damage to this half of the island is.

Rescue teams and large rescue equipment from the space carrier were gradually deployed to the ground to take over and carry out rescue operations in various cities.

Of course, all rescue teams stayed far away from the area where the nuclear bomb had exploded, since the area was still ravaged by Fallout, and even cultivators would not fare well there.

Just as the rescue team began its operation, another group of people on the space carrier also began their work.

Their objective had nothing to do with Cherry Blossom Country Island; all they wanted to do was find Li Xingkong as quickly as possible and confirm his safety.

Although Divine Land had great faith in Li Xingkong's abilities, Li Xingkong did indeed go offline after unleashing the sword that cleaved the island, losing contact with Earthly Capital.

If Li Xingkong hadn't encountered any problems, he would never have suddenly gone missing. But since this has indeed happened, it can only mean that Li Xingkong must have encountered some special circumstances.

For both public and private reasons, finding Li Xingkong's whereabouts and rescuing him if necessary is absolutely the top priority, even more important than occupying the entire Cherry Blossom Country Island. After all, land can always be acquired, but there is only one Li Xingkong.

Just as these people searching for Li Xingkong bypassed the entire Mount Fuji region and circled around the edge of the Fallout zone, they saw the huge fissure that Li Xingkong had cleaved in the ground. They then began to follow the fissure forward, searching for Li Xingkong's traces.

The fissure is so long that it stretches to the horizon; standing in front of it, you can't see the end at all. And beneath this fissure, the raging seawater is still slowly pouring back towards Mount Fuji, and where the seawater meets the magma, large amounts of water vapor are still rising upwards.

Given this terrain, the cultivators who came to search didn't have any good ways to explore. Their vision was severely obstructed, and with their cultivation level, various exploration spells couldn't cover too much distance.

Fortunately, they split into several groups. One group used detection spells to search for hard-to-reach areas, while another group used wide-range radar to quickly move forward along the rift, looking for suspicious information.

In the wilderness and mountains, the fissure looked unremarkable and not particularly impressive, but after they followed it and saw the city, the power of Li Xingkong's move gave them a more direct understanding.

The small city that appeared before them was cleaved in two by this sword strike; the once unified city was forcibly separated in the middle.

Highways, railways, commercial streets, skyscrapers... whatever appeared in the path of the rift was ruthlessly Severance. The rift continued forward, leading to the sea, and within this city, an artificial river formed by seawater was created.

The city was severely damaged; there were hardly any people on the streets, and numerous buildings had collapsed, making the city look as if it had been through an apocalypse.

However, rescue was not their mission; other rescue teams were still on their way. They simply used instruments to check if Li Xingkong was anywhere nearby before continuing onward.

As practitioners, their physical constitutions are already quite different from ordinary people. Similarly, if they are not concealed, their indicators on radar or various search and rescue instruments will also be different, making them quite easy to distinguish.

They crossed the coastal city and reached the sea. They searched along the cracks for a long time, but still couldn't find any trace of Li Xingkong.

By this time, Li Xingkong had almost recovered, and the coma caused by exhaustion had also subsided. However, when Li Xingkong woke up, he found that he was no longer on the beach where he had collapsed, but was instead submerged in the ocean.

Due to his cultivation, Li Xingkong's body weight was actually far greater than that of ordinary people, especially after his Bone Tempering, his body weight became much heavier. However, he didn't feel it because he was using his Qi Refining Method regularly and had the support of his Magic Power.

After this period of unconsciousness, his Magic Power was almost depleted, which caused him to fall straight to the bottom of the sea like a lump of iron.

When Li Xingkong woke up, he found himself surrounded by a number of strange marine creatures, and some fish were even licking his fingers, trying to suck them up.

Li Xingkong waved his hand, shooing away the fish around him. He then sensed the Magic Power within his body. Fortunately, despite being unconscious, the circulation of his Magic Power continued, and various Qi Refining Method were diligently restoring his body. His Magic Power was indeed beginning to recover, although the recovery speed was not fast.

With Magic Power, everything became much easier. Li Xingkong guided a wisp of Magic Power, leading himself upstream towards the surface of the sea.

The seabed here is quite deep; Li Xingkong ascended nearly 2,000 meters before reaching the surface.

Once out to sea and exposed to the sunlight, Li Xingkong's Magic Power recovery speed immediately increased, and he could clearly feel his body recovering.

Of course, the restoration of Magic Power was only a small part of the physical recovery. In addition to Magic Power, his sword strike also burned a large portion of the fat on his body, making Li Xingkong look much thinner than before.

Physical damage cannot be repaired by Magic Power alone; one must replenish the necessary substances through food.

After examining my body, I realized that this move had caused quite a bit of damage. Fortunately, the damage wasn't irreversible. As long as I rested for a while and replenished my body with enough nutrients, recovery was only a matter of time.

After thoroughly examining his body, Li Xingkong began to review the sword strike he had unleashed.

The power of this sword strike was indeed very strong, so strong that even Li Xingkong himself was quite surprised. He really didn't expect that his full-force attack could cause such great damage to the ground.

During the process of unleashing this sword strike, Li Xingkong gained many insights, and he felt it was necessary to find some time to organize his reflections on this attack.

After all, theory is theory and practice is practice. When you don't take action, you can't pay attention to many details. If Li Xingkong were to strike again, his attack would definitely be much better than this time.
