Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1245: Chapter 669: Cultivation Technique

The Heavenly Ghost, which advanced to the mid Fourth Grade, flew into the body of the Great Cultivator and entered the Nascent Soul.

At this moment, Li Shiming perceived the strength of the Great Cultivator through the Heavenly Ghost.

This was not like the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng, who had lost the Nascent Soul, but a truly complete Great Cultivator.

After some research, Li Shiming discovered a few situations.

First of all, if he wanted to continue to enhance the strength of this Great Cultivator, it was almost impossible unless he allowed the Great Cultivator to cultivate a new cultivation technique. Otherwise, even if he obtained the primary cultivation technique that the Great Cultivator originally cultivated, he would be unable to comprehend the rules mastered by the Great Cultivator.

Though he could not comprehend the rules grasped by the Great Cultivator, it does not mean he couldn’t use them. As long as he manipulated the Nascent Soul, he could, through the cultivation method runes within the Nascent Soul, exert some of the attack power augmented with rules.

The reason it is only some of the attack power is that he has not cultivated the primary cultivation technique of the Great Cultivator. Merely activating cultivation method runes, this simple form of manifestation, cannot fully unleash the power of the technique.

Secondly, the strength of this Great Cultivator was not formidable. If the Nascent Soul were removed, judging solely by the physical body, its strength was not even as steely as the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng.

That means handing the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ to this Great Cultivator yields less power than is displayed by the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng.

Li Shiming helplessly shook his head, finding the idea of controlling the combat power of a Great Cultivator to be absolutely wonderful. However, this idea was shattered ruthlessly by reality.

Don’t be fooled by the Heavenly Ghost being able to control the Nascent Soul of this Great Cultivator; a Great Cultivator, with the Nascent Soul and physical body combined, absolutely wields the power of a true Great Cultivator level.

Yet this Great Cultivator was originally a Loose Cultivator, the weakest existence among Great Cultivators, and being controlled by the Heavenly Ghost, his power couldn’t even sustain half.

In this way, the combat power of this Great Cultivator only barely reached the initial level of a Great Cultivator.

For Li Shiming, this was not much different from being infinitely close to the combat power of a Great Cultivator.

Either way, facing Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners, it was an absolute suppression, and against a true Great Cultivator, he could only flee.

The biggest issue is that there is only one Heavenly Ghost; controlling this Great Cultivator means he couldn’t control the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng, leaving no substantial increase in Li Shiming’s available combat power.

By checking the Mustard Seed Ring of this Great Cultivator, Li Shiming learned the name ’Luo Pei,’ a member of the three Great Cultivators on Anyu Island.

He pondered and thought it would be better to act using the identity of Great Cultivator Luo Pei, as this identity was more convenient.

After all, Anyu Island was destroyed, and the three Great Cultivators without Anyu Island all need to separate and go their ways.

As for the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng, he was more considered as a type of long-range attack weapon.

The Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng and Great Cultivator Luo Pei were not much different, both controlled by the Heavenly Ghost. At that time, Li Shiming continued to let his Water Thunder Nascent Soul stay within Great Cultivator Luo Pei, along with Luo Pei’s Nascent Soul, retaining the energy beads formed by the Grotto Heaven inside the Water Thunder Nascent Soul.

In this way, Great Cultivator Luo Pei could walk outside with Li Shiming residing within the Grotto Heaven, just like the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng.

The greatest difference between the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng and Great Cultivator Luo Pei was that the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng could not pretend to be a Great Cultivator in front of other Great Cultivators, whereas Great Cultivator Luo Pei was a genuine Great Cultivator, except for not having combat power of a Great Cultivator.

Of course, for Great Cultivator Luo Pei to exert his combat power, Li Shiming allocated a fraction of his mind with the computation power of an IBMz15 to start researching the situation of Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei mainly cultivated Water attribute techniques, a field where Li Shiming was the weakest.

Although Li Shiming cultivated the ’Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique’, which also involved Water attribute cultivation, it did not contain many offensive methods.

Actually, he had quite a fortune in the Cultivation World, and to some extent, the ancient ’Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique’ could no longer be considered his best cultivation technique.

However, this Five Elements Spiritual Power cultivation technique was extremely compatible with him; his ’Five Elements Qi Absorption Array’ within still relied on the ’Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique’ to apply its effect, so he continued to consider it his primary cultivation technique.

Regarding his primary cultivation technique, he indeed had some thoughts.

His plan was to cultivate the ’Heavenly Human Technique,’ which was the strongest cultivation technique he had encountered. Great Power Zhai Ge held a very high regard for the ’Heavenly Human Technique,’ expressing regret over not having time to relearn it.

Great Power Zhai Ge spent his entire life perfecting the ’Heavenly Human Technique,’ integrating a lifetime of experience and many rules that only those in the Mahayana Realm could comprehend, completing the cultivation technique by the end of his life.

The biggest trouble with the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ is that for a Nascent Soul Cultivator, who is below the Mahayana Realm, to cultivate this technique, he must master the Five Elements Divine Skills.

This is because Divine Skills are a form of manifestation of rules, the only rule abilities cultivators below the Mahayana Realm can truly grasp.

Even the rules mastered by Great Cultivators are merely superficial.

Of course, Divine Skills are simply a means of manifesting rules, which cultivators cannot comprehend, at least not before reaching the Mahayana Realm.

Even upon reaching the Mahayana Realm, without researching rules related to Divine Skills, it is equally challenging to fully understand Divine Skills.
