Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1015: Chapter 554: War

Li Shiming had only been in closed-door cultivation for fifteen days when he was interrupted.

The identity jade disc sent a ’War Order’; this was a full mobilization by the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to launch a great war.

All cultivators in the sect who received the ’War Order’ must participate on time, with no room for negotiation.

After the ’War Order’ is issued, one must end their closed-door cultivation immediately, even if in seclusion.

The sect nurtures its cultivators, and when the sect requires them to contribute, they naturally cannot refuse.

In fifteen days, Li Shiming only managed to roughly organize his gains and hadn’t had the chance to analyze them deeply.

But there was no choice; he could only come out of his cultivation.

”Shizhen, come to me!” As soon as he came out, his identity jade disc received a message from Grandmaster Hu.

Grandmaster Hu was not in the cave dwelling of the Four Phases Cave Heaven but outside the sect gates.

Li Shiming flew towards Grandmaster Hu’s location and, leaving the sect, saw war flying boats hovering in the air.

Each war flying boat requires a hundred Golden Core cultivators to control, and they hold powerful Fourth-rank attack treasures.

The attack treasures on the war flying boats are different from a cultivator’s treasures; although these are Fourth-rank as well, they can channel and transform the spiritual power of the Golden Core cultivators through the complex formations on the flying boats, serving as the energy source for the attack treasures on the boats.

Such a war flying boat can allow the combined power of a hundred Golden Core cultivators to reach the battle strength of a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator.

Even the defensive power of the war flying boat is at the level of a Fourth-Grade Magical Treasure, also activated by the gathered spiritual power of the hundred Golden Core cultivators.

A war flying boat reaching the combat power of a Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner is not easily achievable; this is essentially the pinnacle of flying boat technology in the cultivation world, a product of combining puppet mechanism techniques and formation cultivation techniques.

The materials used are extremely precious, and only major sects can afford such war instruments; smaller sects lack the financial resources and the necessary personnel for their maintenance.

There are twenty-one war flying boats in the sky, equivalent to the strength of twenty-one Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators.

The remaining main forces are the sect’s Nascent Soul cultivators, who have formed teams by their respective factions. There are thirty-six Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners and twelve Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners, along with two Great Cultivators.

Due to his closed-door cultivation, Li Shiming was the last to arrive after receiving the ’War Order’.

He marveled at the strength of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect; a single ’War Order’ had organized such a formidable force, enough to instill fear in any sect.

One must realize that these are cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Besides the twenty-one war flying boats, the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators all have spiritual pets matching their strength. The combat strength of one Nascent Soul cultivator here is equivalent to two Nascent Soul cultivators in other sects.

While pondering this, Li Shiming flew to Grandmaster Hu’s side.

Beside Grandmaster Hu, only Lu Heng was present; Second Senior Brother Yue Shan was not there. Since the ’War Order’ had been issued, if Yue Shan was not here, he must already be in the area where the war would occur.

”Master, I am late!” Li Shiming bowed and greeted.

”You were in closed-door cultivation; it shouldn’t have been interrupted. But since you are my disciple, you should set an example!” Grandmaster Hu said with a satisfied smile at his disciple.

The more he looked at Li Shiming, the more pleased he became, knowing what Li Shiming had achieved during the Taichu Sect’s grand meeting, especially the benefits from Qi the Great Cultivator’s lectures, which greatly increased his strength.

Li Shiming had only attained the Nascent Soul Stage for a few years, yet his cultivation already seemed equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator who had practiced painstakingly for a hundred years.

”With the sect in need, disciples should naturally contribute!” Li Shiming replied.

”This war doesn’t require you to charge forward. As an Alchemy Master, the sect has mobilized numerous healing, detoxification, and restorative spirit pills and materials. Your main task is to distribute the spirit pills and, if needed, produce as many as possible.” Grandmaster Hu instructed seriously.

As a Great Cultivator of the sect, he has three direct disciples. The eldest is missing and hasn’t returned, leaving only Yue Shan and Li Shiming as the direct disciples present.

With the sect issuing a ’War Order’, as his direct disciple, participation is mandatory. After all, they’ve enjoyed the sect’s best resources and must reciprocate when needed.

Of course, considering Li Shiming’s situation, he had discussed with Master Ding that Li Shiming should assist from the rear on the battlefield.

Li Shiming’s presence on the battlefield is more a gesture; neither of the two Great Cultivators wants him risking his life. They still expect him to do alchemy for them.

It was all to show the sect cultivators; otherwise, how would the other sect cultivators fight for the sect?

”Set off!” Master Ding’s voice rang out.

Multiple Nascent Soul cultivators stood at several points in the formation, waving Fourth Grade Array Flags, concealing the terrifying force within an invisibility array.

Master Ding and Grandmaster Hu stood at the front and back of the formation, each casting a spell that abruptly increased the group’s speed.

Li Shiming was beside Grandmaster Hu, hardly exerting any spiritual power. The entire formation, including the war flying boats, moved as one, flying like ghosts under the guidance of the two Great Cultivators.

He could hardly imagine such a terrifying force appearing somewhere, what enemy could possibly stand against it.
