Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1670: Chapter 881: Inventory (2)

Li Shiming’s divine sense enveloped all the jade boxes storing the resources of the Great Cultivators and transferred them to his own soul crystal ring.

Afterward, he found the inheritance technique of the Bone Sect, the ’White Bone Technique.’ This ’White Bone Technique’ leads directly to the path of ascension, making it one of the top-tier techniques he obtained.

Unfortunately, the cultivation of this ’White Bone Technique’ was too peculiar. After being recorded and analyzed by his lifebound treasure IBMz15, he quickly gained some understanding of it.

The ’White Bone Technique’ involves refining one’s own bones through various means, treating them as devil treasures for refinement. In this process, it requires the slaughter of many lives to gather a massive supply of souls for the bones.

Ultimately, the entire skeleton of the devil cultivator becomes a white bone treasure, or it can also be considered a white bone avatar.

Devil cultivators who practice the ’White Bone Technique’ release their white bone avatar in battle, while they stand behind it, providing support with ranged spells.

The battle strength of the white bone avatar varies greatly depending on the resources and souls invested during the refinement process.

The white bone avatar of the great cultivator Zongjing has a defense that even surpasses the defensive treasure of a peak great cultivator, reaching extremely frightening levels in speed and close-combat attack power.

The only weakness of the white bone avatar is probably its lack of long-range attack capability, but its master effectively compensates for this weakness.

Li Shiming searched through the soul crystal ring of the great cultivator Zongjing but found no other useful spiritual objects, leaving him somewhat disappointed.

Fortunately, there were still the spoils of battle from four peak great cultivators waiting for him to inspect, and his disappointment quickly faded as he picked up another soul crystal ring.

This was the soul crystal ring of the grandmaster Leng Hong. He first transferred a large pile of great cultivator resources to his own soul crystal ring before beginning to examine the other spiritual objects.

In this soul crystal ring, he discovered some jade scrolls akin to diaries.

Grandmaster Leng Hong recorded most of his experiences and many thoughts in his diary.

Li Shiming learned about the Wind Demon Sect where grandmaster Leng Hong was located. Although the Wind Demon Sect is a Demon Sect, it mainly cultivates wind-based techniques, and the reason for its demon sect name is due to its unscrupulous actions.

Through this diary, he gained a preliminary understanding of the cultivation world he was in.

He did not know if this world and the cultivation world he was previously in were still the same world, but when he observed the sky, he found that the starlight in the sky was still consistent.

According to IBMz15’s assessment, the probability that the place he was in is the same world as before is over ninety-five percent.

The remaining five percent is because his understanding of Grotto Heaven only comes from the previous cultivation world’s Grotto Heavens; he doesn’t know if there are larger Grotto Heavens or if one could exist like the real world.

Sometimes he even wondered if the world he was in, including the previous cultivation world, was also the Grotto Heaven of some extremely powerful cultivator.

In any case, he learned the name of the place he was in, ’Cloud Island Sea.’

IBMz15 began reorganizing the content of the diary, extracting useful information for Li Shiming to use as a reference later.

Li Shiming then discovered a top-level fourth-grade magical treasure, a pair of wings.

These wings, once refined, attach to the back of a cultivator and transform into wings when needed to enhance the cultivator’s flying speed.

His attention to this pair of wings was mainly because such wing-type magical treasures are extremely rare. This pair used many fourth-grade late-stage flying spirit beast feathers, and merely collecting these feathers was no easy task.

The only valuable finds from the devil cultivator great cultivator were the ’White Bone Technique,’ the wing treasure, and the somewhat useful diary.

This was not unexpected, as these peak great cultivators were off on an adventure to the Divine Palace; they couldn’t possibly carry all their possessions.

It was peculiar enough for the great cultivator Zongjing to have the ’White Bone Technique’ with him.

Next were the spoils from three peak great cultivators from the Righteous Path; first, he picked up Shen Ze’s lifebound treasure mirror.

During his travels with great cultivator Shen Ze, he was always very curious about this mirror treasure.

It wasn’t until he held it in his hands that he discovered how peculiar this mirror treasure truly was.

The mirror treasure boasts a multitude of functions, as a multifunctional treasure usually falls into mediocrity in each function, but the mirror treasure is an exception.

Even though Li Shiming did not find any techniques of the ’Mirror Moon Sect’ in great cultivator Shen Ze’s soul crystal ring, he had witnessed the use of the mirror during their travels together.

The mirror can transform into a defensive treasure, converting the owner’s Spiritual Power Pattern into a defensive shield; it can transform into an auxiliary treasure, creating an illusion to confuse the enemy; it can transform into a reflection-type treasure, reflecting some energy-based spells back at the enemy.

The other functions were beyond his knowledge; he could only discover them through studying its refinement methods later.

Of course, just by interacting with cultivators of the Mirror Moon Sect, he could conveniently learn more about the uses of this mirror treasure.

Regarding Ji Chuan’s fire flying sword and the partially damaged chessboard of Liao Yi, Li Shiming merely glanced at them before setting them aside, keeping only the chess pieces.

Without any distinctive top-level fourth-grade magical treasures, once he used the Heavenly Ghost to clear away the remaining spiritual imprints in his lifebound treasure, he could either give them as gifts or exchange them for resources.

Among the soul crystal rings of the three great cultivators from the Righteous Path, there were still some useful items. Li Shiming found a map of ’Cloud Island Sea.’

However, he couldn’t understand why this map of ’Cloud Island Sea’ was labeled as being drawn a hundred and fifty years ago, with a note cautioning users to verify its accuracy, making him wonder if the terrain of ’Cloud Island Sea’ could change with time!

With the map, Li Shiming now had some direction, eliminating the uncertainty he previously faced.

After some thought, Li Shiming donned a mask, and the Thunder Cultivator aura he exuded abruptly transformed into a Sword Cultivator aura, with Sword Intent faintly rising from his body.

From his previous spoils, he retrieved a fourth-grade top flying sword, the ’Glazed Flying Cloud Sword,’ and conducted a refinement to make it his treasure.

In the time to come, he would nurture the ’Glazed Flying Cloud Sword’ to integrate ’Chaos Sword Intent’ into it.

This way, he could masquerade as a genuine Sword Cultivator. The reason he chose the ’Glazed Flying Cloud Sword’ was partially because it was extraordinarily beautiful, its entire body crystal clear and a rare crystal stone flying sword.

On the other hand, his lifebound flying sword, the ’Traceless Illusion Sword,’ was too unique to show to other cultivators—after all, no Sword Cultivator should be without a flying sword.

The ’Glazed Flying Cloud Sword’ is a decent flying sword; of course, he had better ones, like the spiritual treasure ’Golden Rainbow Sword,’ but even after recognizing an owner, it would require long-term refinement to control it without revealing its spiritual treasure quality.

Refining the ’Glazed Flying Cloud Sword’ took up twenty days, a necessary step, and now it contained a portion of ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ capable of wielding a certain battle strength.

During this time, Li Shiming launched a drone satellite to monitor the situation on the sea surface.

After the drone satellite ascended into the sky, he didn’t discover the existence of the Divine Palace.

It was uncertain whether the Divine Palace was currently in a concealed state or if it truly existed in another space altogether.

However, during these twenty days, the sea surface became bustling with activity as numerous great cultivators converged upon this sea area, alongside a considerable number of cultivators rushing over.

Just from the monitoring range of the drone satellite, he identified over a hundred great cultivators, not to mention the weaker Nascent Soul cultivators, whose numbers exceeded a thousand.

From this, he could judge that the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in ’Cloud Island Sea’ likely surpassed that of the Central State Continent; he even suspected whether the combined force of all superpowers’ great cultivators in the previous world could compare to the great cultivator count of ’Cloud Island Sea.’
