Li Xingkong was unsure of how Xuan Qingzi had been resurrected, so he could only use his supernatural powers to conduct relevant tests.

However, he was certain that Xuan Qingzi's methods of resurrection were definitely not limited to this underground base.

Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't fall down when it dies; such a person values their life highly and naturally won't put all their eggs in one basket.

The fact that Baili Qiu knew about this underground base means that its level of secrecy is not very high; in other words, it may just be a target thrown out.

Using his Divine Light to carefully search, Li Xingkong quickly found several other places that were somewhat similar to Xuan Qingzi's soul.

These areas are scattered throughout the entire planet, and some even point far beyond the planet's edge, showing that Xuan Qingzi has gone to great lengths to ensure his safety.

Judging from the progress of those investigating outside, it will take some more time to find Li Xingkong's form of existence. Li Xingkong still has plenty of time.

The conflict between civilizations in the universe is inherently like this. When facing an enemy that one has never seen before, determining the enemy's mode of existence and attack methods is already a very troublesome problem.

When facing an old adversary, everyone knows that no one can hide their true intentions, but when a new enemy arrives, it will be a headache for a while.

Li Xingkong was exploiting this time difference; he wanted to eliminate Xuan Qingzi before his opponent could analyze his methods.

Before leaving, Li Xingkong conducted one last reconnaissance of the underground base to ensure that no one escaped his attack.

They didn't find any fish that slipped through the net, but Li Xingkong did find a strange thing sealed in a safe.

Something that looks like a scroll.

This thing may look ordinary, but since it can be locked here, it must have something special about it.

Li Xingkong took the scroll out of the safe and put it directly into his arms.

This thing is hidden so well, it must be something good. After we kill Xuan Qingzi, we'll take it to Baili Qiu to have a look.

Li Xingkong took out the Little Underworld and put everything in the underground base inside, even scraping off a layer of plaster from the walls.

Although the materials used to build this base are not as strong as Li Xingkong's body, they are still rare and valuable materials that can be used to forge magical artifacts and refine magical treasures.

As for other miscellaneous equipment and research data, those could also be given to Divine Land; it's at least a way to revive it.

After emptying the base, Li Xingkong followed the area he had explored and went to the nearest one first.

The scientific research methods of the Sihali Kingdom are very advanced. When Li Xingkong came out from underground, he took a brief look and found that they had already analyzed the disintegration method of the Roof Bird Wall Fire Divine Light. The newly arrived soldiers had already put on brand-new protective suits.

The fact that they were able to figure out the attack method of the Divine Light in such a short time is enough to demonstrate the profound foundation of the Sihali Kingdom. And the fact that they were able to produce a finished product so quickly after completing the research shows that their civilization also possesses the ability to reshape matter, similar to Li Xingkong's.

However, it seems that this ability requires the assistance of some kind of machine.

They've only figured out their own attack methods, but haven't yet discovered their current mode of existence, so Li Xingkong doesn't need to worry about them for now.

Li Xingkong swaggered out of the main hall entrance and arrived at the first area.

It's still on this planet, but this place looks like a villa, probably one of Xuan Qingzi's private residences.

With Divine Light clearing the way, Li Xingkong plunged headlong into the area he had explored.

It's like the basement of this annex, but it's more secluded. There are no biochemical devices like those belonging to the Crown Prince here; instead, it houses a body that has undergone a high degree of mechanization.

It looks like a sleeping silicon-based life form, with many pipes connected to its head, spreading across the basement walls.

This thing hasn't woken up yet; it seems Xuan Qingzi won't choose this place for his next resurrection.

Li Xingkong used his Divine Sense to examine the mechanized body. The technology involved was quite advanced, and it was proving to be a bit difficult for Li Xingkong to analyze.

However, based on my initial assessment using my Divine Sense, this guy's combat strength is actually quite formidable.

If it could also receive the unique energy and weapon supplies from the Sihali Kingdom, its combat power could be considered at the Golden Core level.

With physical strength at the Golden Core level and an unconventional, limitless energy, aside from potentially limited methods, this thing could actually be used by Golden Core cultivators.

As for the fluctuations detected, Li Xingkong did indeed find Xuan Qingzi's memory backup in this basement, but this backup was quite old.

Perhaps because he doesn't come here often, this memory is still stuck half a year ago, which may also be why Xuan Qingzi didn't consider this place his first choice.

Regardless of whether it was half a year or a year ago, as long as it was Xuan Qingzi's memory, it would be useful to Li Xingkong.

All that effort was to find his respawn point, right? With his memories intact, how could he possibly escape it?

Having manually accessed the backed-up memory, Li Xingkong began a rapid search.

Soon, Li Xingkong found all the information about the respawn point in his memory.

As expected of a big shot from a third-rate civilization, the phrase "a cunning rabbit has three burrows" is clearly not enough to describe him.

It wasn't just the resurrection points Li Xingkong found; he even had some other backup plans.

If he were to resurrect multiple times in a short period of time, he would directly upload his consciousness to the servers of the Sihali Kingdom, abandoning everything in reality and achieving an alternative form of resurrection.

Fortunately, for the sake of convenience, I also glanced at his memories; otherwise, if I had continued killing like this, things would have been troublesome once his consciousness was uploaded.

Killing him in real life would be relatively easy, but once he's in the virtual world, I'm out of options.

Before I can remove his respawn point, I need to take down the place where his consciousness is uploaded.

With the support of the Hexagram, after fully analyzing Xuan Qingzi's memories, Li Xingkong could only say that he now understood Xuan Qingzi better than Xuan Qingzi himself.

However, this memory is quite old; a six-month gap is enough time for many things to happen.

For example, the scroll in his hand— Li Xingkong searched through his entire memory but couldn't find any relevant content.

That's a pity, Li Xingkong was quite curious about this thing.

He erased the memories he had read and then threw the body, which was comparable to Golden Core cultivator, directly into the Niwan Palace.

Although the Niwan Palace is used for calculations, it is still a space, so there's no problem using it to store things.

As for why it was placed here, Li Xingkong could only say that this thing was quite fragrant, and if it were analyzed, he would have gained a batch of clones.

P. S.: When I like someone, I feel like I'm not good enough for her, emmm, I'm so frustrated, I've been feeling this way for the past few days.

The saying that liking someone stems from insecurity is definitely not an exaggeration.

These past few days I've increasingly felt like I'm a useless piece of trash. I'm suffering from severe internal conflict, and it's unbearable.

Adding to that, I had a bad cold last night, so it was really tough being both sick and feeling unwell.

It's like being sandwiched between AD and AP, getting slapped in turns by physical and magical damage, until you're numb.
