Cultivation is just so scientific! - Chapter 804 - 448: Return (Part 2)

Chapter 804: Chapter 448: Return (Part 2)

Li Shiming was unaware of the exchange between Elder Su and Fan Ancestor, as he had already entered a meditative state, cultivating the ’Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique’ in the spiritual energy environment of a Nascent Soul Level Spirit Vein.

With his abilities, besides focusing on his primary cultivation technique, he could handle many tasks simultaneously.

He first arranged the third grade corpse refining materials he had long prepared in the corpse refining space, setting up a corpse refining array to help the silver corpses advance one by one to the Silver Corpse Late Stage.

He currently had fourteen silver corpses, one of which, named ’Shasheng,’ he left at his mundane family home, thus unable to enjoy such privileges.

Currently, Shasheng is only at the Silver Corpse Early Stage, but with the formation he set up in the underground space at home, it could probably advance to the Silver Corpse Middle Stage after some hundreds of years.

The ones beside him, however, enjoy the highest tier of privilege.

Using top-notch resources to cultivate silver corpses with such generosity was rare among the cultivators on the Beishu Continent.

Yet Li Shiming easily cultivated thirteen silver corpses, and if it weren’t for his limited realm, these silver corpses could have reached even higher levels.

His recent advancement to Late-stage Golden Core not only enhanced his strength but also that of his thirteen silver corpses and the Illusion Spirit Jiao.

The restrictions on the silver corpses and Illusion Spirit Jiao were lifted, allowing them to advance to Silver Corpse Late Stage and Late Stage Demon, respectively.

Enhancing the silver corpses’ power was straightforward, requiring only a significant investment of third grade corpse refining resources.

As for the Illusion Spirit Jiao, he took out the Dragon Vein Source Crystal and placed it nearby.

When he released the Illusion Spirit Jiao, it didn’t need any instructions and immediately lunged for the Dragon Vein Source Crystal, coiling its entire body tightly around it.

In Li Shiming’s perception, the Illusion Spirit Jiao was in a state of extreme excitement, but it quickly fell into a deep slumber.

He paid no mind to the Illusion Spirit Jiao’s situation, judging that significant changes would likely occur once it awakened.

Just the thought of that fourth-grade Four-clawed Dragon going utterly mad for this Dragon Vein Source Crystal was enough to gauge the crystal’s value.

Especially since the Illusion Spirit Jiao carried the Dragon Clan lineage, its hope for dragon transformation likely lay within this Dragon Vein Source Crystal.

With the silver corpses handled through the third grade corpse refining resources, they required no further attention, only a gradual wait.

Advancing from Silver Corpse Middle Stage to Late Stage posed no danger, being merely a minor realm shift.

Li Shiming took out a dark golden jade scroll, a reward he had obtained from the Grotto Heaven.

Compared to the untouchable Grotto Heaven and its inheritance, this dark golden jade scroll was at least accessible, though he harbored little hope for its usefulness concerning the cultivation technique inside.

His divine thought entered the dark golden jade scroll, revealing it to be indeed a cultivation technique, although not quite what he expected—it was a spiritual cultivation method.

The Beishu Continent wasn’t devoid of spiritual cultivation techniques; quite a few existed before reaching the Golden Core Stage, but finding them afterward was exceedingly difficult.

Even those available post-Golden Core Stage had significant flaws; for instance, the main cultivation technique of the Yin Yang Sect had spiritual cultivation effects but required dual cultivation, something Li Shiming was reluctant to pursue.

It’s not that he had an issue with dual cultivation, but practicing the ’Yin Yang Harmony Scripture’ enhanced a woman’s beauty while disfiguring a man. Crucially, only one member of a Daoist couple could ultimately succeed.

This greatly conflicted with Li Shiming’s principles, having no intention to cultivate the ’Yin Yang Harmony Scripture.’

This spiritual cultivation technique was named the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique.’ Its grade was indeterminable but evidently superior to his current ’Greedy Heaven Sleep Dream Technique.’ Being a reward in the Grotto Heaven, it couldn’t be trivial.

Li Shiming remembered the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’ contents inside IBMz15 for analysis.

The ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’ lacked prior cultivation experiences, consisting solely of the cultivation method itself.

“Everyone, I won’t hide it any longer. Skywalk Trading Company came to the Beishu Continent upon discovering a clue of Great Power Zhai Ge leaving a Grotto Heaven here. Given the current situation, it seems a cultivator has obtained Great Power Zhai Ge’s inheritance, securing the Grotto Heaven with it.

We must find him in the shortest time possible; otherwise, once he cultivates the inheritance from the Grotto Heaven, he’ll likely become a threat to us!” Elder Jin Kai gravely addressed the Nascent Soul Ancestors.

Ancestor Lu and the remaining Nascent Soul Ancestors on the Beishu Continent communicated via divine thought, understanding Elder Jin Kai’s implication.

Unfamiliar with the Beishu Continent, Elder Jin Kai couldn’t possibly find the cultivator who obtained the Grotto Heaven inheritance on his own.

Only by uniting with the Nascent Soul Ancestors on the Beishu Continent was there a glimmer of hope.

As for the Beishu Continent’s Nascent Soul Ancestors, they might not know who obtained the Grotto Heaven inheritance but recognized that the cultivator must be extraordinarily adept.

They were aware of the Grotto Heaven’s trial, having participated themselves. Despite being ten Nascent Soul Ancestors strong, with Elder Jin Kai even at Nascent Soul Middle Stage, they nearly failed the second trial.

Imagining how the inheritor overcame all the trials in a short time seemed inconceivable to them.

While they feared the strength of the trial-passing cultivator, the Nascent Soul Ancestors remained unwilling to concede, for this was an opportunity to gain a Great Power’s inheritance—a rare lifetime chance.

Among them, only Elder Sword appeared indifferent, not as fervent about the Grotto Heaven inheritance as the other Nascent Soul Ancestors.

He desired the treasures in the Grotto Heaven to strengthen himself.

However, he did not overly value the Grotto Heaven’s inheritance.

Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion wasn’t devoid of great powers; its inheritance was not something Great Power Zhai Ge could match alone.

“Senior Jin, to find the cultivator who obtained the Grotto Heaven inheritance, using sect connections can’t keep the other Nascent Soul members of the sect in the dark, which I believe you understand.

Of course, we are willing to collaborate with Senior Jin, but before that, we must discuss a framework for our cooperation,” Ancestor Lu smiled as he spoke to Elder Jin Kai.

“Very well, I will return to Yongle Island to await your response!” Elder Jin Kai nodded in agreement.

He knew it was futile to keep things hidden at this junction.

Ancestor Lu’s proposal was optimal, benefiting both sides.

He left immediately, taking along the heavily wounded Ancestor Ren Xun, heading toward Yongle Island.

“Everyone, return to your respective sects, and after the internal discussions, we will contact one another!” Ancestor Lu addressed the Nascent Soul Ancestors.

To counter Elder Jin Kai at Nascent Soul Middle Stage and the formidable Skywalk Trading Company, each sect had awakened their Nascent Soul Ancestors. After such significant events, returning to deliberate and form consensus was necessary.

They departed, leaving the land to regain its original tranquility.

In the following days, the Yongle Battlefield, jointly established by Yongle Island and the Beishu Continent, suddenly closed.

Furthermore, Yongle Island expelled all native cultivators, leaving those who had just gained benefits at a loss.

They took a risk by offending the six major sects and Beishu Trading Company, even becoming enemies of the entire Beishu Continent, to side with Skywalk Trading Company, yet its sudden change of attitude abandoned them.

Attempting to seek explanations, they dared not approach Yongle Island due to the mid-stage Nascent Soul aura emanating from there.

Even more despairingly, upon trying to return to the Beishu Continent, they found the six major sects had begun their purge.

The six major sects, ruling the Beishu Continent, would not tolerate traitors among the native cultivators.

Originally, they allowed these native cultivators to switch sides to lure out Skywalk Trading Company’s subsequent moves, but now everything was clear, and these native cultivators were no longer needed, prompting the cleanse to begin.
