Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1249: Chapter 671: Inheritance

Cultivators are those who can most endure solitude. A Nascent Soul Cultivator can meditate for years, even decades.

However, when extended to an almost infinite time, no cultivator can endure it.

Though this is merely the test of the ’Innate Wood’ divine ability inheritance, bringing spiritual perception to the cultivator, it’s not true time loss.

Nonetheless, the prolonged solitude still causes the soul of the cultivator to age, this aging comes from spiritual emptiness.

The ’Innate Wood’ trial that Li Shiming encountered was indeed very troublesome, and previously no trial participant has successfully passed this challenge.

Many cultivators have experienced soul aging due to prolonged spiritual solitude, and even after leaving the trial, their soul couldn’t recover, eventually leading to no advancement in cultivation until they expired from life span depletion.

This is also why Great Cultivator Mao Jing reminded Great Cultivator Luo Pei—to prevent such occurrences.

Unfortunately, the solitude test of ’Innate Wood’ met with Li Shiming, the one least afraid of such trials.

Not to mention that Li Shiming has five Nascent Souls, with only one involved in the ’Innate Wood’ divine ability test, the other four are unaffected.

Even if all five Nascent Souls were affected, he still had one hundred and ninety brains available, and his natal artifact IBMz15 could alert him at any time.

Eight two hours passed outside, yet in the perception of Wood Thunder Nascent Soul, it felt like billions of years.

This feeling was peculiar, giving him a subtle insight into the perception of time.

Unfortunately, the perception of time was too deep and all he grasped was the surface, the ’Innate Wood’ divine test concluded.

As the ’Innate Wood’ divine test ended, Li Shiming’s Wood Thunder Nascent Soul sensed information flowing into his mind, and simultaneously, an ’Innate Wood’ divine power rune appeared within the Wood Thunder Nascent Soul.

Li Shiming immediately contacted his avatar Li Yuanba, discovering earlier that this divine power rune could be shared with the avatar, and similarly, the avatar could also share the rune with the main body.

He shared the ’Innate Wood’ divine power rune with Li Yuanba, adding an ’Innate Wood’ divine power rune to the rune short sword within Yuanba’s Nascent Soul.

As for how to apply the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill, once Li Shiming researches it thoroughly, he will naturally share it again with Li Yuanba.

Unfortunately, when Li Shiming attempted to share the ’Innate Wood’ divine power rune with Great Cultivator Luo Pei, he found it impossible to do so, and shook his head, realizing his greed.

However, as long as he had a Nascent Soul within Great Cultivator Luo Pei, he could activate the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill via the Nascent Soul.

It didn’t necessarily need to be the Wood Thunder Nascent Soul, as the other four Nascent Souls could utilize the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill through their connection with the Wood Thunder Nascent Soul.

He focused his spirit, returning his attention to the information content of the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill.

’Innate Wood’ divine skill is an extremely special auxiliary divine ability.

Its sole effect is to generate endless life force, giving cultivators who master the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill a life span half again as long as ordinary cultivators of the same stage.

This is not a trivial number; an ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner has a life span of one thousand years; if they cultivated the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill, their life span would be fifteen hundred years.

Li Shiming was astonished by this capability of the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill, wondering why its effect wasn’t known to the world.

Little did he know, the inheritance of the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill is tiered; the divine ability test his Wood Thunder Nascent Soul participated in was the most difficult, resulting in obtaining the highest level of inheritance.

Of course, his memory doesn’t have the content of the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill inheritance test, but his natal artifact IBMz15 stored this memory, allowing him to access and review it anytime.

Having passed the highest difficulty test of the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill inheritance, he naturally obtained the highest-level ’Innate Wood’ inheritance.

If a cultivator possessing the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill inheritance compared their ’Innate Wood’ divine power rune to the one he obtained, they would find his ’Innate Wood’ divine power rune more complete.

Apart from affecting life span, the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill also possesses healing abilities.

This is a general capability of the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill, possessed by any cultivator obtaining the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill inheritance.

The healing abilities of the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill can treat oneself and other cultivators of the same level, the effect slightly weaker than treating oneself.

The ’Innate Wood’ divine skill cannot heal cultivators with a higher realm than oneself, which shows a significant limitation in the healing capability, yet renders this divine skill inheritance not so crucial.

Cultivators, especially Nascent Soul cultivators, find it extremely difficult to recover once injured, especially if wounded by rules-based injuries, without correlating High Grade Fourth-Grade healing Spirit Pills, recovery is impossible.

To concoct High Grade Fourth-Grade healing Spirit Pills, a normal Alchemy Master must expend many Spiritual Medicines and concoct many batches to possibly achieve high-grade quality.

This makes High Grade Fourth-Grade healing Spirit Pills immensely valuable, any cultivator obtaining them would consider them a life-saving measure.
