Jades had four grades, low, mid, high, and sacred. The higher the grade, the greater its effect. And the difference between each grade was sky-high.
Not even a hundred low grade earth qi jades could compare with a mid grad earth qi jade. While a top grade earth qi jade was worth a thousand of mid earth qi jades. As for sacred grade, not even a hundred thousand of top grade would suffice.
The sacred grade was in a league of its own.
What was a sacred grade jade? The spiritual qi inside was endless and never dried up. This was what set it apart from other grades.
Sacred grade jade was beyond rare. Li Mo never even entertained the idea that he might find one on this planet, it was just not pragmatic. Not to mention even 6th and 7th ranked planets had a very low chance of having such a jade.
He was content with finding a few mid grades or perhaps a high grade.
To set the Stellar Orientation Array he needed around 300 low grade earth qi jades, taking a long time to set it up, then adjust it. But with mid or high grade jades, it was far simpler. He only needed to set it and no longer adjust it, taking one or two hours and the Stellar Orientation Array was done.
Of course, the higher the grade the longer the distance between arrays could be.
Hundreds of stone golems chased after Li Mo, who only spurred on a bit and he threw them off his trail.
He just got rid of one group and now he was going into another. But this one’s numbers were shocking. There was a stone golem everywhere he looked.
Li Mo kept in mind through where he went to avoid battle as much as possible. When he could not, he’d unleash Lightning Palm on them.
He went like this for more than three hours and, despite their increasing numbers, they all had the same quality.
After another half an hour, Li Mo saw a river ahead. Any planet with life was bound to have water and breathable air.
It was in this river that Li Mo found other living creatures on this planet.
Jellyfish were slowly floating among the river waters.
Li Mo frowned, “Shouldn’t and unranked planned have this kind of living creatures?”
Strictly speaking, those stone golems weren’t alive. Only creatures of flesh or plants were considered living.
If the planet had this kind of living creatures like the jellyfish, then the danger rating would rise far above that of a mere unranked planet.
Li Mo passed the river and after ten minutes, he met a 20 meter tall stone golem.
This giant stone golem looked the same as the rest, only massive in size, sending shivers to anyone standing near.
“This must be the strongest stone golem on the planet.”
Li Mo observed for a bit then thought of a good tactic. He’d bring the small stone golems over to deal with the big one.
Boom~
As he was thinking, the earth trembled. Li Mo looked up to find that the bright sky had now darkened. A 200 meter tall stone golem was coming over.
To the new hulking stone golem, the 20 meter one was nothing more than a child.
‘Why is there one bigger?’
Li Mo was stunned.
Boom~
Each of the hulking stone golem’s step quaked the earth. It didn’t even look where it stepped, crushing trees and small stone golems alike into dust.
The giant stone golem seemed to shiver from fear and ran.
If the giant ran, then so did the smaller ones.
This was for the best actually. This way Li Mo didn’t get their attention. Now that the hulking stone golem was here, there was no other around it for miles.
‘I wonder how tough it is compared to its size.’
Li Mo rushed over as Lightning Palm flickered and sent tens of bolts at it.
They struck its leg but only dislodged some football-sized stones from it.
It was useless. Because of its sheer size, his attacks were no different from a mosquito’s.
Hu~
The hulking stone golem saw Li Mo and slapped at him.
It was like five mountains were bearing down as they blackened the sky.
Rumble!
The earth shuddered greatly and dust was lifted a thousand meters into the air.
The hulking stone golem roared and left.
After it got far enough, Li Mo came out from deep underground.
The attack was so large that made dodging impossible. In this moment of crisis, Li Mo used the Earth Hiding Art to dive thirty meters down and escape with his life.
The Earth Hiding Art wasn’t like the Earth Escape Art. Li Mo didn’t have the Earth Body and couldn’t train in the Earth Escape Art. Before using the Earth Hiding Art, one needed to hold his breath. After staying for a long time underground, when the need to breathe came, the art would stop by itself, taking him to the surface.
“I don’t have a way to deal with it for now. Once I cultivate to Spirit Stage, I will have enough control over spiritual qi and can handle it then.”
Li Mo gave up chasing after the hulking stone golem and went after the giant stone golem.
This one wasn’t weak either but Li Mo’s Lightning Palm should be enough. Li Mo hit it three times and the golem split into pieces.
After destroying it, Li Mo visibly thinned out, while his mind was also weary. He had no choice but to keep using the Blood Boil Technique to enable him to employ magical arts. But this way overtaxed his vitality.
Resting for a while on the pile of stones from his recent kill, Li Mo recovered somewhat. He searched around and soon was holding an extremely pure mid grade earth qi jade.
It was as big as a palm and had a deep yellow color. This was equivalent to hundreds of low grade earth qi jades.
“If this giant stone golem has a mid grade earth qi jade, then that hulking stone golem must hold a high grade. There may even be a chance for it to be a half-sacred earth qi jade.”
After some more rest, Li Mo was ready to leave when, suddenly, a sound came from afar. At least ten giant stone golems were incoming.
“So many…” Li Mo turned and ran.
He could deal with one with ease. But dealing with so many would have him exhaust all his vitality and die…
‘Once I get back, I’ll have my fill of some brown sugar, dates, and donkey-hide gelatin.’ Li Mo thought as he ran.
