Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 598: Chapter 345 Inventory_2

He couldn’t help but shake his head and smile, had he known this would be the case, he would’ve learned the “Telepathy” inheritance as well.

The “Telepathy” inheritance was right on his person, the heart-shaped relic had been snatched from Zhi Xin Arhat of Qianye Temple.

He considered the risks he took when he passed the test of the Divine Foot Skill and decided to wait until his cultivation in the Golden Core Stage improved before attempting to pass the test of the “Telepathy” heart-shaped relic’s inheritance.

Additionally, Qianye Temple still owed him a “Divine Vision Skill” inheritance, which he also planned to claim from the temple during the upcoming time.

The trial of the fiery-red Jade Scroll continued, the difficulty escalating, yet Li Shiming still had the capacity to think about other matters.

One two-hour period later, the fiery-red Jade Scroll ended its trial on him, a spark flew out from the scroll and entered his body, automatically finding his fire-attribute Golden Core, and a surge of information was imparted into his brain.

“Nanming Leaving Fire,” that was the name of this fire-attribute divine skill, a type of divine fire like “Nanming Leaving Fire” was considered one of the highest-ranking flames in the Cultivation World.

This fiery-red Jade Scroll was not an ordinary object either; it was a wondrous item made by heaven and earth, sealed with the “Nanming Leaving Fire” inheritance by a great being.

The spark that had just emerged was the seed of the “Nanming Leaving Fire.”

Li Shiming’s consciousness focused on his fire-attribute Golden Core, and on the Golden Core, there was now an additional spark.

This spark was orange and so diminutive it looked as if it might extinguish at any moment.

Yet it was precisely this tiny spark that caused the Red Sun Spiritual Fire to withdraw to one side.

Previously, the Red Sun Spiritual Fire had dominated the fire-attribute Golden Core, it was even preparing to fuse with it, but after the arrival of the “Nanming Leaving Fire” spark, the Red Sun Spiritual Fire obediently made way.

Orange is the most rudimentary stage of “Nanming Leaving Fire.” One level up from orange is red, which is the same level of “Nanming Leaving Fire” possessed by Patriarch Weng Zhao.

There are four grades of “Nanming Leaving Fire”: orange, red, yellow, and white, with white being the ultimate form of “Nanming Leaving Fire.”

With the resources available to Patriarch Weng Zhao, as well as the years he spent cultivating, he was only able to advance “Nanming Leaving Fire” to the red level, which shows just how difficult it is to cultivate “Nanming Leaving Fire.”

Li Shiming attempted the cultivation method for “Nanming Leaving Fire.” He mobilized the spiritual power of his fire-attribute Golden Core, forming a special Spiritual Power Pattern to guide into the “Nanming Leaving Fire” spark.

Almost instantly, the spiritual power within his fire-attribute Golden Core was drained, if not for the interconvertible spiritual power among his five Golden Cores, his fire-attribute Golden Core might have even faced the danger of collapse.

He broke out in a cold sweat. This was a divine skill not meant for Golden Core Early Stage cultivators to attempt.

Among divine skills, those like the Divine Foot Skill, Divine Vision Skill, and Telepathy require lesser demands from a cultivator, serving as auxiliary divine skills.

Whereas, divine skills like “Nanming Leaving Fire” are among the offensive category of divine skills and are also the most dangerous.

After one perilous attempt, Li Shiming found that the “Nanming Leaving Fire” spark had grown by less than one-thousandth, and he could hardly imagine the colossal amount of spiritual power needed to elevate this spark to a flame.

Regardless, he would not attempt to enhance “Nanming Leaving Fire” further while he was at the Golden Core Early Stage.

Beyond the Jade Scroll, in the regular space, he also saw two Fourth-Grade Magical Treasures.

This was not surprising, as a Supreme Minister of Skywalk Trading Company, having two Fourth-Grade Magical Treasures in addition to his life-bound magical treasure was normal.

One of the Fourth-Grade Magical Treasures was a flying sword, the other a full-body armor kind of defensive magical treasure.

Both of these Fourth-Grade Magical Treasures were spare ones for Patriarch Weng Zhao, with his spirit imprints on them; for Li Shiming to remove the spirit imprints would require not a small amount of effort.

In addition to these, another benefit obtained from Patriarch Weng Zhao was a Fourth-Grade Array Plate, which had also been acknowledged by Patriarch Weng Zhao as its master.

However, decrypting a Fourth-grade Array Plate like this was much easier for Li Shiming than handling a Fourth-grade Magical Treasure.

In the engine room space, Li Shiming’s over a hundred spiritual imprints transformed into longswords, continuously eroding the spiritual imprints within the Fourth-grade Array Plate. After almost six hours, he had broken through Patriarch Weng Zhao’s spiritual imprints.

Even though Li Shiming could use the Fourth-grade Array Plate without removing Patriarch Weng Zhao’s spiritual imprints, the existence of such imprints meant that if he ever encountered Patriarch Weng Zhao, the latter could reclaim the Array Plate at any time.

As the spiritual imprints of the Fourth-grade Array Plate were expelled, Li Shiming’s spiritual imprints took the place of Patriarch Weng Zhao’s, and Li Shiming gained information about the Fourth-grade Array Plate.

‘Heavenly Gang Four Phase Array’, a formation not from the Beishu Continent’s inheritance, but Li Shiming already had knowledge about this formation from previous Jade Scrolls.

With the ‘Heavenly Gang Four Phase Array’, Li Shiming now had the ability to block a Nascent Soul Ancestor for a moment.

The ‘Heavenly Gang Four Phase Array’ could only block a Nascent Soul Ancestor momentarily, and it was impossible to truly stop one with just a Fourth-grade Array Plate.

Let alone a mere Fourth-grade Array Plate, even the Sect Protection Array, which large sects had invested in for countless years and countless resources, could only withstand a few attacks from a Nascent Soul Ancestor before failing to prevent their destruction.

Of course, the real power of the Sect Protection Array comes with the control of an Array Master; the influence of an Array Master can significantly enhance its power, but it still only delays the inevitable a bit longer.

The purpose of the Sect Protection Array, for Nascent Soul Ancestors, is to provide enough time to notify the sect’s own Nascent Soul Ancestors to take action.

All of Patriarch Weng Zhao’s belongings, including the Space Ring, were left in the engine room space.

After all, keeping them in the engine room space was no different from carrying them on his person and ensured they would not be discovered by any cultivator.

After accepting the inheritance of ‘Nanming Leaving Fire’, Li Shiming once again focused on Patriarch Weng Zhao’s Nascent Soul Body.

This time, he discovered more; the rule patterns on the Nascent Soul Body were indeed the divine patterns of ‘Nanming Leaving Fire’.

Patriarch Weng Zhao had actually concentrated on the fire attribute Divine Skill ‘Nanming Leaving Fire’ and had become a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Back when he encountered the Fourth-grade Sea Beast in the sea, if it weren’t for the sea beast’s innate power being the nemesis of ‘Nanming Leaving Fire’, plus the fact that they were in the middle of the sea, Patriarch Weng Zhao would not have retreated so easily.

That was also why he was able to escape despite facing six enemies; he had mastered the fire attribute Divine Skill, allowing him to perform the Fire Escape Technique to such a degree and escape the battlefield right under the noses of six Nascent Soul Ancestors.

If it hadn’t been for Li Shiming, perhaps all the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Beishu Continent would be facing his endless vengeance.

Li Shiming summoned the Heavenly Ghost, which flew towards the Nascent Soul Body.

Just like the Fake Infant Body, the Heavenly Ghost did not fear the Nascent Soul Body; the fusion of a Heavenly Demon’s shell with a fierce ghost was something Li Shiming couldn’t classify.

After possessing the Nascent Soul Body, the Heavenly Ghost found it extremely difficult to move. If controlling the Fake Infant Body was incredibly slow, then moving the Nascent Soul Body was utterly impossible, not to mention arms and legs, not even a finger could be twitched.

Yet, the Heavenly Ghost felt comfortable; possessing the Nascent Soul Body brought it faster advancement.

Although the Nascent Soul Body was injured, its rate of absorbing energy was much faster than the Fake Infant Body’s, and the level of energy was completely different too.

Li Shiming transferred his consciousness to the Heavenly Ghost, and, of course, this was just one of the consciousnesses among his one hundred and ninety-one brains.

Since the Nascent Soul Body contained the rule patterns of ‘Nanming Leaving Fire’, he thought of trying to operate the Nascent Soul Body through the Heavenly Ghost to rotate the ‘Nanming Leaving Fire’ Cultivation Method, hoping to accelerate the recovery of the Nascent Soul Body’s injuries.

If the Nascent Soul Body were to recover naturally, even with the help of the Nascent Soul Level vein-locking plate, it would take many years.

If he could operate the ‘Nanming Leaving Fire’ Cultivation Technique, among the inheritance was a healing method that leveraged ‘Nanming Leaving Fire’ to repair the body, which would greatly promote the recovery of the Nascent Soul Body.
