Chapter 782: Chapter 437 Reward_2

There was only a table placed against the wall, atop which sat a bracelet.

When he first entered, the bracelet on the table was protected by some kind of energy. As the voice ceased, the protective energy disappeared, leaving the bracelet unobstructed before him.

He understood that this bracelet was the reward he had received, so he reached out and took the bracelet.

The bracelet was made from the bones of some powerful entity and emitted a faint white glow.

Li Shiming’s experience was considerable, but he could not discern the grade of the bracelet, as the bones used to make it were beyond his ability to judge.

He hesitated somewhat, as the trials of the Hell Path were clearly not meant for Golden Core cultivators.

If it had not been for him cheating in a manner, by using the abilities of a Heavenly Ghost to conceal himself, let alone a Golden Core cultivator, even if he had become a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he would not have been able to reach this place alone.

Yet, possessing such a treasure, he could hardly suppress his curiosity to explore further.

He tried to probe the bracelet with his Divine Thought, and a piece of information entered his mind, subsequently, the bracelet bizarrely acknowledged him as its master effortlessly.

“Ghost Bracelet,” this bracelet bore a simple name, and its function was also detailed.

Sealed inside the “Ghost Bracelet” was a Fourth Grade Ghost Soul, and once the bracelet recognized a master, one could control this Fourth Grade Ghost Soul.

Li Shiming’s Divine Thought discovered the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul, which was sealed within the Ghost Bracelet, in a state of slumber.

The Ghost Bracelet emitted strands of energy, constantly strengthening the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul.

Since the duration of the Ghost Bracelet’s existence was unknown, even though the emitted energy had a slight effect on the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul, in Li Shiming’s perception, this Ghost Soul had already reached the Middle Stage.

A Fourth Grade Mid Stage Ghost, this was akin to the strength of Elder Jin Kai.

His eyes widened in disbelief, such a powerful bracelet, and Great Power Zhai Ge had merely named it “Ghost Bracelet.”

If it were placed in any major sect on the Beishu Continent, it would have been given a ground-shaking name, doing justice to the Fourth Grade Mid Stage Ghost within.

“What a pity!” Li Shiming shook his head fiercely. The “Ghost Bracelet” was indeed extraordinary, but his own cultivation level was insufficient, and he dared not summon the Fourth Grade Mid Stage Ghost.

In the Cultivation World, there was an unwritten rule regarding the summoning of sealed Spiritual Pets.

It stated that the master must not have too large a disparity in strength compared to the sealed Spiritual Pet. Generally speaking, Li Shiming, at the Golden Core Middle Stage, could only summon a Third Grade Mid Stage sealed Spiritual Pet.

Even though Li Shiming was somewhat unique, possessing five Golden Cores which far exceeded the strength of his peers, the maximum he could summon was a Late Stage Third Grade sealed Spiritual Pet.

But the Ghost in the “Ghost Bracelet” was at the Fourth Grade Middle Stage, and even if he reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage, given the vast difference in strength between the Nascent Soul Early Stage and Nascent Soul Middle Stage, he still couldn’t summon the Fourth Grade Mid Stage Ghost from the “Ghost Bracelet.”

Forcing a summon could likely lead to severe backlash.

All he could do for now was not to use the “Ghost Bracelet” and wait until he ascended to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, when he could then summon the Fourth Grade Mid Stage Ghost from the “Ghost Bracelet.”

Li Shiming carefully stored the “Ghost Bracelet” inside the Mustard Seed Ring, estimating that it would be a long time before he could retrieve the “Ghost Bracelet.”

He felt rather uneasy. Even though he had obtained a tremendous benefit, it also felt as though he had gained nothing at all.

While he was pondering this, he felt a repulsive force; he was forcibly teleported out of the room by some power.

Li Shiming found himself in a space different from the Hell Path; he still couldn’t use the Divine Foot Skill, and even his ability to fly was lost.

He could only stand on the beige-colored ground; his Divine Thought reached out and found that in this space, his Divine Thought was also restricted, able only to probe a distance of fifty meters.

Especially when his Divine Thought touched the ground beneath his feet, he was startled to find it couldn’t penetrate the surface.

Fifty meters was just about the same distance as normal eyesight; fortunately, the “Divine Eye Skill” still wielded decent power, allowing him to observe conditions within five hundred meters.

The Heavenly Ghost maintained the state that enveloped him, which greatly eased his mind.

Just as he felt relieved, a hand reached out from the ground and grabbed his foot, followed by a bite on his calf.

He looked at his calf and discovered a Corpse Refiner emerging from the earth, launching an attack on his leg.

This Corpse Refiner had a silver body, making it a Silver Corpse.

More bizarrely, the speed of this Silver Corpse was unlike any other Silver Corpse Li Shiming had ever seen. Its movements were extremely rapid, so fast that even with Li Shiming’s reaction speed, he couldn’t respond before it bit him.

This was almost impossible, as Li Shiming’s reaction speed was enhanced by his life-bound magical treasure, the IBMz15.

Li Shiming exerted force in his calf, stomped down, and flung the Silver Corpse away with his step.

He had cultivated the ’Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique’, and his body refinement strength had surpassed that of the ’Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill’. Although this Silver Corpse was peculiar, it couldn’t breach his defense.

And since the Heavenly Ghost on him was an ethereal creature, the Silver Corpse’s attempts to grab or bite passed right through it without causing any damage to the Heavenly Ghost.

Yet, the Heavenly Ghost felt provoked, not only because it was challenged but also because the attack passed through its defense and targeted its master.

The Heavenly Ghost pounced on the Silver Corpse it had knocked away and entered its body.

The Silver Corpse fell to the ground, its body twisting eerily.

Through his connection with the Heavenly Ghost, Li Shiming found out that it had entered the Silver Corpse, devoured its soul flame, and in turn, took control of the Silver Corpse.

Meanwhile, his life-bound magical treasure IBMz15 timely provided an analysis of the situation. According to the analysis, it wasn’t that Li Shiming’s reaction was flawed, but rather, something in the ground was enhancing the movement of the Silver Corpse.

Li Shiming thought of the Hell Path space, which also housed Third-grade Ghost Souls, yet there were Fourth-grade Ghost Souls present there as well.

This meant that this space might also harbor a Fourth Grade Golden Corpse.

He couldn’t help but look at the ground beneath his feet, fearing a Golden Corpse might appear unexpectedly.

Although he possessed Great Elder level body refinement strength and wasn’t worried about Silver Corpses, he had no confidence in combating a Golden Corpse.

He continued to review the analysis from IBMz15, which indicated a sixty percent probability that touching the ground had triggered the emergence of the Silver Corpse.

After thinking, Li Shiming summoned a Silver Corpse and controlled it to move forward.

Indeed, after just five meters, the Silver Corpse was seized by a Space Silver Corpse and attacked.

The Space Silver Corpse was incredibly fast. The Silver Corpse had no time to react and was struck repeatedly, the sounds of breaking bones echoing from within it.

Li Shiming waved his hand, and ’Flowing Light Star Meteor’ shot out. The Space Silver Corpse tried to dodge, but the ’Flowing Light Star Meteor’ was faster, striking the Space Silver Corpse in one blow.

Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent erupted on the Space Silver Corpse, which screamed miserably, struggling maniacally to burrow into the ground.

But ’Flowing Light Star Meteor’ quickly traced over the Space Silver Corpse. The moment half of its body entered the ground, its soul fire was extinguished by ’Flowing Light Star Meteor’.

Li Shiming waved his hand, pulling the Space Silver Corpse out from the ground.

He stored the Space Silver Corpse into a storage space in his machine room and commenced observing this Space Silver Corpse.

In the external space, his ’Divine Sight Skill’ was severely limited, preventing him from fully utilizing its capabilities.

But in the machine room space, there were no restrictions at all. The Space Silver Corpse revealed all its secrets to him.

The body of the Space Silver Corpse was covered with incredibly complex patterns resembling regulatory diagrams, which shouldn’t appear on a typical Third Grade Silver Corpse.

Given the state of the Space Silver Corpse, theoretically, it should have been of Great Elder Level. Inside the body of a cultivator of Great Elder Level, special patterns from their cultivated techniques fill the body, making the body of such an elder entirely different from that of a regular Golden Core Cultivator.
