Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 943: Chapter 518: Myriad Beasts

Li Shiming walked into a building in the mountain valley, where a space gate had already been opened.

He enhanced himself with the ’Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique,’ and a faint shadow of the Taiqing Xuan Turtle appeared around him.

Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was not very dangerous, he had some reservations about cave heavens.

Taking a step into the space gate, his figure vanished. When he reappeared, he was already on a plain.

He had only ten days, after which he would be automatically sent out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven. During these ten days, he needed to find a suitable spiritual pet.

He looked around; the space stretched beyond sight, it was an immensely large cave heaven.

Yet, in his perception, the environment of the cave heaven was somewhat peculiar.

For instance, the sky appeared blue, yet there wasn’t a single cloud; in his feeling, this sky seemed almost fake.

He reached out, finding the void seemingly lacking something. With his Nascent Soul Stage, he could roughly surmise that what’s missing should be the Heaven and Earth Rules, which were not complete here.

This was normal; the cave heaven had been created by Mahayana Realm experts, who infused their comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Rules into it.

However, Mahayana Realm experts were not omnipotent and could not perceive all the Heaven and Earth Rules.

Though certain other means could replicate most Heaven and Earth Rules into the cave heaven, many still were lacking, leaving the cave heaven less vibrant than the outside world.

Li Shiming tried using the ’Divine Foot Skill’ to step into the ’Distance of a Thousand Miles,’ which pleased him, as ’Distance of a Thousand Miles’ was usable.

This allowed him swifter movement within the cave heaven and provided an escape mechanism during danger.

By the Nascent Soul Stage, his execution of ’Distance of a Thousand Miles’ made him much faster than cultivators of the same stage and confident enough to escape from Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners.

He released his Divine Sense while also activating ’Divine Eye Skill’ and ’Telepathy.’

Not far from him, a Great Demon lizard was devouring the remains of an unknown spirit beast.

Further away, a Great Demon spirit deer was eating grass, lifting its head to look around with alertness every few bites.

Li Shiming was secretly shocked; his Divine Sense had a range of three thousand meters, and within this three-thousand-meter radius, there were two Great Demons, which was a terrifying density.

He glanced at the grass on the ground to find it unlike any Spirit Grass he had seen, but it contained abundant Spiritual Energy, comparable even to Third-grade Spiritual Medicine.

However, upon closer examination, the Spiritual Energy within this Spirit Grass lacked vitality, differing fundamentally from Spiritual Medicine.

With little time, he used ’Distance of a Thousand Miles’ to step out and appeared three thousand meters away. After his Divine Sense detected nothing notable, he once again used ’Distance of a Thousand Miles.’

Before long, he discovered a Fourth Grade spirit beast, a golden lion.

When he spotted the Fourth Grade golden lion, the lion also noticed him.

However, the golden lion merely glanced at him and then turned away, ignoring this suddenly appearing human cultivator.

Li Shiming was not particularly afraid of the golden lion, though his Spiritual Power Pattern was not full, he was confident his short-term battle prowess could handle such an early Fourth Grade lion with ease.

Such confidence stemmed from his Thunder Skill and Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent, both of which contained the might of Heavenly Thunder, the bane of any creature.

As long as his adversaries were not overwhelmingly strong, he could resolve battles briefly through the might of Heavenly Thunder.

Since the golden lion ignored him, he chose not to bother it either.

Let alone that such grown spirit beasts were impossible to contract, even if he could, he wouldn’t opt for such a spirit beast.

His goal was very clear; it was a phoenix-type spiritual pet.

For half a day, he continuously traveled using ’Distance of a Thousand Miles.’ It shocked him that this cave heaven was so large that he hadn’t yet reached its boundaries.

During this half-day, he found three juvenile spirit beasts.

This indicated that it was quite easy to contract spirit beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven.

The quality of spirit beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven was exceptionally high; even any juvenile spirit beast had at least a Third-grade talent, and many had Fourth-grade innate abilities.

A Third-grade talent juvenile spirit beast required more resources to cultivate to Fourth-grade and had a higher difficulty in advancement.

The Ten Thousand Beast Sect had intensely studied spiritual pets, ensuring that even a First-grade talent spiritual pet, with enough investment, could be enhanced to Third-grade level.

Of course, most cultivators wouldn’t do this, as a First-grade talent spiritual pet’s abilities were too weak, rendering high-grade cultivation unfeasible.

The terrain ahead changed from plains to mountains.

This did not affect Li Shiming’s speed. He would stop to sense his surroundings with Divine Sense, searching for the presence of target spirit beasts.

A day later, the mountains transformed into an ocean, where the abundance of spirit beasts increased.

These spirit beasts fed on sea grass from the ocean. He found that the sea grass and the Spirit Grass on land shared almost identical inner qualities, aside from differences in growth environment and appearance.

He shook his head; the cave heaven was too crude.

After such a long time, he also discovered some situations in the cave heaven.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven existed solely for spirit beasts, primarily facilitating their growth, while offering little other function.
