Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1600: Chapter 846: Outing (Part 2)

A few people entered the flying boat, which was a fourth-grade top flying boat with decorations that female cultivators liked from inside out.

After sorting guests and host, although Li Shiming came using a ’phantom clone’, Master Li still prepared items to entertain him.

Li Shiming did not join the conversation between Yin Shilan and Master Li. The master and disciple pair, as with every conversation, first talked about cultivation and then gradually about the trivialities of female cultivators’ life.

Li Shiming, however, researched his own ’phantom clone’, for he was known to have many thoughts in his head, enabling him to do many things simultaneously. During this period, he made some progress in studying the ’phantom clone’.

Currently, if a cultivator could break the energy structure of the clone, they would find a Nascent Soul within the ’phantom clone’.

Of course, this Nascent Soul wouldn’t be a real Nascent Soul, as he couldn’t separate one of his five Nascent Souls and place it within the ’phantom clone’.

Although, if he wished, he indeed could do so. The same source of ’chaotic spiritual power’ and spirit could accommodate the Nascent Soul of the main body within.

The Nascent Soul inside the ’phantom clone’ was crafted in the engineering space using a replica based on his own Nascent Soul at a scale of 0.05 nanometers.

The mixture of ’chaotic spiritual power’ and spirit within the ’phantom clone’, and the Nascent Soul Liquid of the Nascent Soul differ not much, allowing Li Shiming to replicate a Nascent Soul within the clone in the engineering space over time.

This clone Nascent Soul differs greatly from a real Nascent Soul, yet inherently it is somewhat similar to a real one.

He transferred the ’Divine Foot Skill’ divine power rune and ’Thunder Rule Imprint’ to the clone Nascent Soul, making it more similar to a real Nascent Soul.

However, this clone Nascent Soul cannot leave the ’phantom clone’. He once tried, and as soon as the clone Nascent Soul left the ’phantom clone’, it collapsed immediately.

This makes it seem as though there is little difference from having no clone Nascent Soul at all, but this clone Nascent Soul is the greatest improvement of the ’phantom clone’ secret technique.

No matter what type of energy clone, there is a significant issue.

That is, the energy within the energy clone is very limited, and if used beyond a certain limit, it will make the energy clone unsustainable.

Furthermore, the energy consumed by the energy clone cannot be recovered automatically, and must rely on the main body to input energy.

This means that a normal energy clone, once separated from the main body, cannot consume energy vigorously, else the energy clone will not sustain, and the spirit of the cultivator within the energy clone will vanish.

But the clone Nascent Soul that Li Shiming tinkered with, although lacking some capabilities of a real Nascent Soul, has one very special ability, which is that the clone Nascent Soul can absorb and store energy.

It can even run the cultivation technique to more quickly restore energy within.

The clone Nascent Soul makes the ’phantom clone’ practically equivalent to a real great cultivator, capable of wielding magical artifacts, independently recovering spiritual power patterns, and casting divine skills and thunder skills.

The flying boat, marked with the Luanyang Palace insignia, encountered no issues on its journey from the Dongqi Continent to the Central State Continent, even though Master Li did not deliberately speed up, and it took a month to reach the Central State Continent.

Master Li had a very unpleasant experience during this month.

Being with a couple who tenderly glance at each other and show affection at every moment for a whole month would not be a pleasant experience for anyone.

On the flying boat, the five late-stage golden corpses didn’t move at all, just standing on the deck throughout the month without any motion.

It was Master Li, the ’phantom clone’, and Yin Shilan, the three of them. At the start of the journey, Master Li conversed with Yin Shilan, but most of the time, it was the ’phantom clone’ of Li Shiming engaging with Yin Shilan.

”Ahead is the Luanyang Palace mountain gate. Once we pass through a space barrier, we will be able to see it!” Master Li reminded aloud.

Yin Shilan looked ahead with curiosity. After entering the Central State Continent, she noticed the differences from the Dongqi Continent.

The spiritual energy of the Central State Continent is richer than that of Dongqi Continent, and there are more cultivators here.

Along the way, she saw many cultivators, among whom many were Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators, who were at the top of the power hierarchy on the Beishu Continent, known as ancestors, are treated like ordinary cultivators on the Central State Continent.

Perhaps it’s the richer spiritual energy that makes the scenery on the Central State Continent more enchanting, often presenting fantastic and steep valleys, mountain peaks, rivers, and lakes.

The flying boat passed through a space barrier. Yin Shilan knew it was a grotto heaven barrier, similar to the one on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Upon passing through the space barrier, the view changed abruptly.

The Luanyang Palace’s space barrier has the effect of isolation and concealment, so it is impossible to observe the inside of the grotto heaven barrier from outside.

This was the first time Li Shiming saw the mountain gate of Luanyang Palace, revealing numerous peaks, with white clouds suspended midslope.

Each of these peaks has its own characteristics, as if all the world’s sceneries were moved here.

Immortal cranes flew through the clouds, occasionally emitting crane calls.

Yet, this was just the outskirts of Luanyang Palace, not the true mountain gate.

Master Li intentionally slowed down the flying boat to let Yin Shilan and Li Shiming take in the scenery in detail.

”This area was created by a great power from Luanyang Palace ten thousand years ago using special methods, claimed to be the most beautiful scenery in the world!” she proudly introduced.

Yin Shilan’s eyes lit up, the beauty here matched her aesthetic taste well, and beautiful verses flooded her mind.

Li Shiming merely observed, holding a different opinion in his heart.

He had seen many sect mountain gates and couldn’t believe that those superpowers wouldn’t embellish their mountain gates to such an extent.

Yes, he judged this scenery as beautiful, which isn’t necessarily a high praise for scenery.

Most sects would not waste the vast land within their mountain gate’s space barrier like this. This area, sharing the mountain gate’s spiritual energy, is much richer than the environment outside.

Most importantly, this place is extremely safe, and within the space barrier, even the climate can be controlled.

Therefore, this vast land should ideally be arranged as spirit fields.

Turning such a large area into spirit fields could at least solve a large portion of resources for the lower-level cultivators in superpowers, and with many spirit fields together, a small portion of high-level spirit fields would develop over a long time.

High-level spirit fields can provide certain resources for the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators, which are critically important resource guarantees for many superpowers.

Look at Luanyang Palace, turning such a good resource-generating place into scenery.

Of course, Li Shiming only dared to think this in his heart. Seeing Master Li’s proud face, if he really spoke his mind, Master Li might turn hostile on the spot.

”Mr. Li, Luanyang Palace is a female cultivator sect. Although you came in a clone form, your clone is not much different from your real self. Luanyang Palace will have some tests for visiting spouses!” Master Li said to Li Shiming as the flying boat approached the Luanyang Palace mountain gate.

She smiled, seemingly considering it a very amusing matter.

Yin Shilan was just about to say something to her but was stopped by a gesture.

”Shilan, no need to worry. It’s a tradition of Luanyang Palace, and it won’t put Mr. Li in any danger. Moreover, considering Mr. Li came in a clone form, I’ve already informed the palace interior, and they will take care to reduce the clone’s energy consumption!” Master Li explained with a smile.
