Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1508: Chapter 800: Treatment (Part 2)

”Master, restoring your strength is most important, it won’t affect me at all!” Li Shiming replied with a smile.

”That’s good!” Grandmaster Hu put away the jade bottle.

”Master, what is the current situation with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect? How did it come to this?” Li Shiming finally asked the question he was most concerned about.

Looking at the current situation of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, it was almost reaching the point of exhaustion, being bullied to the mountain gates by the other three sects.

Judging by the appearance of the sect cultivators from the three other sects, they have blocked any possibility of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect leaving the mountain gate.

If not for the presence of a grotto heaven shielding the space, they would have already penetrated within a thousand miles of the mountain gates.

”Ever since Luanyang Palace urgently recalled the Great Cultivator stationed at the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the Yuqing Sect and the White Emperor Sect intensified their contacts with the remaining three sects. By the time we received the intelligence, the three sects had already agreed to work with the Yuqing Sect and the White Emperor Sect to drive us out of the Dongqi Continent!” Grandmaster Hu said gravely.

With Grandmaster Hu’s detailed explanation, Li Shiming learned what had happened during the decades of his absence.

A part of it was due to Li Shiming himself, as the Ten Thousand Beast Sect suffered reprisals from the Yuqing Sect and the White Emperor Sect.

He also learned why Luanyang Palace recalled the Great Cultivators; it was because they were redeployed to Hell Cave Heaven for a mission, and the departure of Luanyang Palace happened at that time.

With the departure of Luanyang Palace, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect lost the backing of a superpower, while the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect reflected on their past failures and, upon returning to Dongqi Continent, abandoned a comprehensive enemy strategy, targeting solely the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

The Ten Thousand Beast Sect occupied over a quarter of the resources of Dongqi Continent, which was a significant benefit, especially the Great Cultivator resources, which greatly tempted the Great Cultivators of Dongqi Continent.

The Great Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect were the most formidable, and although the four sects appeared to coexist peacefully, internally they had already amassed many conflicts.

Provoked by the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect and enticed by powerful threats and huge benefits, an agreement was reached to collectively eliminate the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

In the subsequent days, a Great Cultivator from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was ambushed and perished outside, and one resource point after another was occupied.

Grandmaster Hu repelled three Great Cultivators during an encounter battle after the full-scale war commenced, but he too was severely injured.

With the unfair battle continuing, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, under the support of three sects and two superpowers, was left with no option but to retreat into the mountain gates, relying on the cave heaven space barriers for passive defense.

This is not a long-term solution; being compressed within the mountain gate, it’s impossible to obtain resources, only able to continuously deplete the reserved resources.

Coupled with the loss of new cultivators’ source, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect lacked the growth of new cultivators, leading to a disruption in cultivator succession.

Wars of this sort typically persist for over a hundred years, and should a century pass, the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect trapped within the gates would collapse due to resource scarcity even without external enemy attacks.

”Master, who were the three Great Cultivators who harmed you?” Li Shiming asked solemnly.

”You’re too impatient, you just returned to the sect, you should first receive the Great Cultivator’s legacy from the sect. I can’t teach you anything further, but the Ten Thousand Beast Sect has a heritage lasting thousands of years!” Grandmaster Hu did not answer, he lightly patted Li Shiming’s shoulder and said.

Li Shiming nodded, Grandmaster Hu didn’t say, but he had ways to find out the answers.

Not intending to further disturb Grandmaster Hu’s rest, as Grandmaster Hu needed cultivation to recover his battle strength.

Master Ding and Li Shiming left Grandmaster Hu’s cave dwelling together, Li Shiming returned to his own cave dwelling, and he arranged Great Cultivator Luo Pei within the cave dwelling.

He did not rest, having rested enough during the voyage.

Li Shiming came to the Book Collection Pavilion, specifically the Book Collection Pavilion for Nascent Soul Cultivators.

There were no cultivators in the Book Collection Pavilion, given the situation, most Nascent Soul Cultivators had tasks and were responsible for various defense duties.

Upon entering the Book Collection Pavilion, he felt a scan by a Great Cultivator’s Divine Sense.

”Are you Junior Brother Hu’s disciple, Li Shizhen?” An extremely aged voice came through.

”Yes, I am Li Shizhen!” Li Shiming bowed and replied.

”Junior Brother Hu has already contacted me, come to the top floor!” The aged voice said.

Li Shiming ascended the stairs and made his way to the top floor.

Because his Identity Jade Disc had updated information, he was now ranked as a Great Cultivator of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, possessing extremely high authority, and none of the restrictions in the Book Collection Pavilion hindered him.

Upon reaching the top floor, he saw a Great Cultivator with hair and beard all white, sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat; upon seeing him, an ancient face showed a smile, and he pointed to the prayer mat opposite, gesturing for him to sit.

Li Shiming sat in front of the prayer mat and saw the elderly Great Cultivator take out a plate of Spirit Fruits, placing them between the two.

”Li Shizhen, my life has persisted until now thanks to your help. My name is Zhang Dansheng, an old cultivator approaching life’s end!” Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng spoke slowly, his eyes reflecting reminiscence.

Upon hearing the name, Li Shiming understood who the elderly Great Cultivator before him was.

This was the oldest Great Cultivator of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect; back then, he received two ’Life Spirit Fruits’ gifted by Luanyang Palace and had gifted them to Master Hu.

At the time, Grandmaster Hu mentioned sending the two ’Life Spirit Fruits’ to Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator before him.

”I dare not speak of help, it was Master’s arrangement!” Li Shiming replied, waving his hand.

”You shouldn’t have returned now; we old folks plan to risk our lives to make the enemies endure the wrath of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Your talents can take you further!” Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng sighed lightly and spoke.

It was clear, Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng intended to perish alongside the enemies; such aged cultivators might only achieve this.

”But it’s good you returned; when you left before, you didn’t receive much of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s heritage. I will pass the heritage of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to you; at least if the Ten Thousand Beast Sect perishes, you’ll still have a chance to revive it!” Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng continued.

Having experienced many things in his life, he clearly understood the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s current situation, knowing that with existing force, the sect’s troubles couldn’t be solved.

Even with Li Shiming’s return, it wouldn’t significantly alter the battle scenario.

In reality, Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng was confined by Dongqi Continent’s vision, unable to imagine the terrifying battle power of a top-tier talented cultivator who could annihilate Great Cultivators in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, once promoted to Great Cultivator.

Moreover, he would remain unaware of the formidable power of the cultivation technique ’Heavenly Human Technique’ held by Li Shiming.

A technique requiring Five Elements Divine Technique to initiate, only cultivable at Nascent Soul Middle Stage, such requirements highlight the exclusivity of this cultivation technique.

”Rest assured, I am confident in resolving the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s troubles this time!” Li Shiming resolutely assured, not wanting to worry Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng excessively.

He could perceive that Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng’s life force was severely aged, an aging that was irreversible, not restorative by Innate Wood Divine Technique.

Given Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng’s condition, he had at most twenty years left of lifespan, should he fully engage in battle, even the twenty-year lifespan could not be guaranteed.

”You first accept the heritage of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. If you do not fully obtain the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s heritage, I won’t let you leave here!” Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng stubbornly insisted, disbelieving Li Shiming’s words.

Li Shiming didn’t refute Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng, as he desired to witness the heritage of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng waved his hand, and a hundred Jade Scrolls emitting golden and purple light appeared before him.

”This is the first part; you need to memorize them all!” He pointed at the hundred Jade Scrolls and said.
