Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1085: Chapter 589: Rescue

Li Shiming took a step forward, and ’World Within Reach’ made him appear in the underground passage.

Due to the multiple Spiritual Power Patterns in the underground passage, he couldn’t use ’World Within Reach’ to directly reach the underground space.

He cast a spell, easily unlocking the Spiritual Power Pattern, and entered the underground space.

He saw with his own eyes forty-three Golden Core cultivators, and he shook his head. These Golden Core cultivators, though alive, were beyond salvation.

Golden Core cultivators are different from Nascent Soul cultivators. The souls of Golden Core cultivators are still in their bodies, and Devil Cultivators can easily erase the souls of Golden Core cultivators by certain means.

But with Nascent Soul cultivators, it’s different. The soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator resides within the Nascent Soul, and to erase it, one must destroy the Nascent Soul itself.

However, Devil Cultivators capture Nascent Soul cultivators to keep them alive as energy sources, so they wouldn’t let a Nascent Soul cultivator die so easily.

Thus, even if the forty-three Golden Core cultivators in this space were rescued, using a Top Grade Third-Grade Healing Spirit Pill wouldn’t restore their erased souls.

Even saving the forty-three Golden Core cultivators would only yield forty-three living dead.

”I will avenge you!” Li Shiming said in a deep voice, not touching the forty-three Golden Core cultivators.

He walked into another space, using ’Divine Sight’ to observe the Formation there.

Upon seeing Li Shiming arrive, the eyes of six Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners filled with a desire to survive; they could see that this appearing cultivator was not a Nascent Soul cultivator from Yu Xiang Trading Company.

This was evident from the Thunder Cultivator aura on Li Shiming; Yu Xiang Trading Company had no Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators.

”My fellow Daoists, I stumbled upon this place, and once I break through this Formation, I will rescue you!” Li Shiming spoke calmly, seeing the gleam of hope for survival in the eyes of the six Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners.

He didn’t show that he came specifically to save Jian Wuwei, as he didn’t need Jian Wuwei’s gratitude.

Jian Wuwei was the master of his avatar Li Yuanba, equivalent to his own master.

”The Formation here is linked to the grand Formation of the Yu Xiang Trading Company Headquarters. Any anomaly here would be detected by the grand Formation; I need some time to solve this problem!” Li Shiming continued.

Indeed, it didn’t take long, just thirty minutes, for him to thoroughly study this Formation.

The main reason is that this Formation is a supporting Formation for a certain demonic technique, which he had never seen before; its operational principles differed from normal Formations, hence the time taken.

He continuously cast multiple spells, and the light from the spells merged into the Formation.

The light of the Formation dimmed, and the Blood Light Spirit Gourd at the center of the Formation lost its support and fell to the ground.

Jian Wuwei felt the outflow of energy from his body stop. For the first time in years, he was able to breathe, no longer being continuously drained, and the feeling of living death nearly drove him mad.

Each person able to reach the Nascent Soul Stage has a determined mindset, enabling them to remain clear-headed even under such demonic tortures.

Li Shiming appeared before Jian Wuwei, observing the needle-shaped demonic treasures embedded in Jian Wuwei’s body, which were of Mid Fourth Grade quality.

Not only do the needle-shaped demonic treasures have the ability to imprison a cultivator by themselves, but their sealing method is a second insurance, confining both the body and the Nascent Soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Using ’Divine Sight’, he carefully observed the positions where the needle-shaped demonic treasures were embedded in Jian Wuwei’s body. ’Divine Sight’ allowed him to see the flow of spiritual energy, enabling him to deduce the core of this method.

With the help of his life-bound treasure, IBM z15, in a short period, he performed over tens of billions of calculations, leading him to the closest real reconstruction of the imprisonment method.

With this reconstructed imprisonment method, lifting it is an exceptionally easy task.

Li Shiming’s Divine Sense settled on Jian Wuwei, removing the needle-shaped demonic treasures in a special order. There was a set of twenty-four needle-shaped demonic treasures on Jian Wuwei alone.

Jian Wuwei felt the vitality in his Nascent Soul, his Nascent Soul moved its limbs, and he felt his strength return to his body.

Even though the energy left in the Nascent Soul was greatly reduced, leaving him extremely weak, it was still much better compared to his previous state.

He slowly stood up, an action that moved him to tears.

This simple action was what he had yearned to do for years, and he finally escaped the torment of living worse than death.

He looked at Li Shiming, this masked Thunder Cultivator, his heart filled with gratitude.

Li Shiming removed the needle-shaped demonic treasures from the rest of the Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners, who, like Jian Wuwei, eagerly moved their bodies once the imprisonment was lifted.

”May I know the honorable name of my benefactor? I will repay your kindness one day!” Probably because Jian Wuwei had been captured for the shortest time, he recovered the quickest and was the first to bow and ask Li Shiming.

”Li Shizhen of Ten Thousand Beast Sect, I have no need for repayment; I just happened upon this place and acted on a whim!” Li Shiming replied indifferently.

He didn’t dare let other cultivators know this identity, anyhow the possibility of him dealing with Jian Wuwei again was extremely low.

He knew Jian Wuwei was destined for the Central State Continent.

”Mr. Li, if it weren’t for your timely rescue, we wouldn’t know how long we would have suffered!” Once the other five Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners had regained some ability to move, one of them bowed deeply, and all the Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners followed suit in saluting.
