Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1486: Chapter 789: Return_2

Li Yuanba entered the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven and came to the Treasure Lotus Hall. The cultivation environment here made him feel that with every breath, the spiritual power within him was slowly enhancing.

If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t leave the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, he would have wanted to stay here and cultivate with his main body.

He took out a pile of boxes containing ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence.’ Even though each piece of ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ was very small, all the ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ he had obtained this time could still fit into the specially made boxes he brought.

Then he took out the Heavenly Compass, a spiritual treasure he had acknowledged as his master, although there was no difference whether he or his main body, Li Shiming, was the master.

Li Shiming took the Heavenly Compass, and with a flicker of his figure, he left the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven.

The Heavenly Person Cave Heaven was his cultivation abode, a rather mature grotto heaven that he hadn’t fully developed, and he didn’t want to be affected by radiation.

The machine room space was too small, and as it required artifact refining and alchemy, it did not meet the usage conditions either.

Only the Half-Life Cave Heaven, due to its rules still being in the early stages of establishment, where his control over it was extremely strong, could easily handle the impact of radiation.

He had absolute confidence in this aspect, so he decided to place the Heavenly Compass inside the Half-Life Cave Heaven.

Upon reaching the Half-Life Cave Heaven, he adjusted the environment and opened up a spatial range with a radius of about ten meters.

By controlling the Half-Life Cave Heaven, he isolated this space separately.

Li Shiming placed the Heavenly Compass at the center and then took out all the ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ he had obtained and placed it around the Heavenly Compass.

Feeling the intense radiation scattering in the space, he flickered out of this ten-meter radius isolated space.

Even though a cave heaven space barrier was used to isolate the space, radiation still seeped through the space barrier.

He shook his head, accepting it as an inevitable issue, but luckily, with the presence of the Divine Tree and the Breathing Soil, which could both purify radiation, the seeping radiation was not overly troublesome.

Though he wasn’t in that independent space, through the master-slave relationship with the Heavenly Compass, he could still sense the state of the Heavenly Compass.

The half-formed ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ inside the Heavenly Compass was taken out by him and placed aside, while the Heavenly Compass continued to absorb the radioactive energy of the ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence.’

At the center of the Heavenly Compass, a point of ultra-high-quality ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ was forming.

Feeling the formation of this point of ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence,’ Li Shiming revealed a satisfied smile.

As stated in the detailed description of the Heavenly Compass, the ’Heavenly Compass’ was crafted to purify radioactive energy.

The unknown great figure, inexplicably, could continuously purify radioactive energy, forming a higher quality ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence.’

Although the ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ formed this time still hadn’t reached military-grade, it was only the first purification.

As long as all the raw ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ was purified, and through repeated refining, it could eventually reach military-grade purity.

Li Shiming had no worries about the time involved, as his goal in producing military-grade ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ was to create a nuclear weapon.

With the strength of both him and his clone Li Yuanba, even without nuclear weapons, he was considered extremely powerful in the current Cultivation World.

Once he advanced to the Great Cultivator Realm, he would be the strongest existence among Great Cultivators, with few cultivators in the Cultivation World capable of threatening him; in a world where great powers seldom emerge, a top-tier Great Cultivator is akin to the pinnacle of combat strength.

As for nuclear weapons, they stemmed from a racial trait; even though he had entered another world, the firepower inadequacy complex from his past life’s race had not diminished but rather intensified.

He examined the Half-Life Cave Heaven again and found that the space for purifying ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence,’ after running for a period of time, remained very stable.

Especially after he connected his life-bound artifact IBMz15 with the Heavenly Compass’s artifact spirit, allowing IBMz15 to monitor the Heavenly Compass’s operation continuously, ready to alert him in case of any unexpected incidents.

The artifact spirit also followed his orders, knowing how to function; henceforth, further refinement would not require his oversight, unless an issue arose, allowing him to only collect it once military-grade ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ was produced.

He handed over the control rights of the small space within the Half-Life Cave Heaven to the artifact spirit of the ’Heavenly Compass,’ allowing the artifact spirit to move the ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence.’

Once military-grade ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ was generated, the artifact spirit could directly place the military-grade ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ into the prepared special anti-radiation jade box.

Li Shiming first used the spiritual treasure ’Traceless Illusion Sword’ to sweep over his body, removing any residual radiation.

Then he returned to the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, where Li Yuanba had stored this haul in the Treasure Pavilion, and some obtained jade scrolls were placed in the Book Collection Pavilion.

”Fellow, I’m heading back first. I need to go into seclusion for a while,” Li Yuanba said with a smile.

”I’ll be awaiting you in the Great Cultivator Realm!” Li Shiming replied with a smile, tossing some jade vials to Li Yuanba.

The two shared a knowing smile, as they were one person with the same confident expression.

What Li Shiming gave to Li Yuanba was a set of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills obtained from the White Emperor Sect, meant for advancing to the Great Cultivator. Li Shiming decided to give this set of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills to Li Yuanba because he felt it unnecessary for himself.

This was not out of arrogance, but because the effects of the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ he cultivated already provided the same benefits as those Spirit Pills.

Moreover, because the ’Heavenly Human Technique’s’ effects were long-lasting, the effects during the advancement to the Great Cultivator far exceeded those of the White Emperor Sect’s set of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills.

Li Yuanba stored away the jade bottles and turned to leave the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven.

Li Shiming did regret that Li Yuanba, due to his qualifications, was unable to cultivate the ’Heavenly Human Technique.’

If it weren’t for his reckless attempts during his Qi Refinement Realm, creating a ’Five Elements Qi Absorption Array’ within himself, ultimately producing five Golden Cores and five Nascent Souls, he too might not have been able to cultivate the ’Heavenly Human Technique.’

Fortunately, the insights gained from the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ still provided some degree of benefit to the shared experience of Li Yuanba.

Li Shiming returned to the Treasure Lotus Hall, sat cross-legged on the Infinite Jade Mat, and began cultivating the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ after consuming a Spirit Pill.

Having five Nascent Souls cultivate the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ together, he could sense his cultivation level rising slowly.

Cultivation is a long process; although in the past, treasures could accelerate this process, reaching the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, especially its later stages, left only self-diligence as the singular path forward.

The environment of the Cultivation World dictates its inability to nurture heavenly objects that could cater to the quick enhancement of one’s cultivation after reaching the later stages of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Post-entry to the Great Cultivator Realm, even Great Cultivator Spirit Medicine becomes increasingly scarce, as heaven and earth limit the number of top-rate cultivators.

With Li Shiming resuming his seclusive cultivation, Li Yuanba returned to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and entered the cave mansion within the Sword Cave Heaven to commence a semi-secluded state.

As for Great Venerable Hongfa, there wasn’t much need for further attention.

Currently, apart from being a servant to Li Yuanba, Great Venerable Hongfa held a prominent position within the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Great Venerable Hongfa was the only person aside from Li Yuanba capable of maintaining the ’Space Acceptance Array’ within the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, a responsibility that made the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion regard Great Venerable Hongfa with high importance.

Great Venerable Hongfa had his own cave mansion within the Sword Cave Heaven, yet apart from summoning by Li Yuanba, he preferred to stay within another cave mansion at Sword Peak.

Primarily because the environment of the Sword Cave Heaven was more suited to the cultivation of a Sword Cultivator, he wasn’t a metal element cultivator, thus he didn’t favor such a setting.
