Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1841 - 967: Harvest

The Duke of Thunder and the Red Demon were each controlled by Li Shiming’s two minds, especially the Duke of Thunder, who had the ability to perform space movements, flashing around the Grotto Heaven.

Li Shiming intended to take advantage of Great Power Leng Luo’s recent demise, as the Grotto Heaven had not yet truly entered the collapse process, to retrieve heavenly treasures and other precious items from within.

Once the Grotto Heaven began the collapse process, everything within would be converted into energy, and the treasures that could remain would be very few.

When the lightning in the Grotto Heaven’s void began to convert into the cave’s energy, Li Yuanba knew he could no longer stay.

The Grotto Heaven in the collapse process would turn everything inside—including himself—into energy.

The Duke of Thunder grabbed the Red Demon with one hand and Li Yuanba with the other, flashing continuously out of the spatial gate of the Grotto Heaven.

Returning to the small island, he looked at the jade sphere, which was now pitch black, emitting a deathly aura.

Li Yuanba let out a long breath, emerging from the shadow of death.

He had imagined countless times facing a great power without Li Shiming’s teleportation ring; it would have been equivalent to having no way out.

”Hahahahaha!” he suddenly laughed loudly.

The laughter spread wantonly across the heavens and earth, releasing his emotions into the world.

He was indeed proud. As a Peak Great Cultivator, not only did he preserve his life facing great power, but he also slew the mighty.

His achievements were feared to be unique in the history of the Cultivation World.

Even if he announced his feats, few cultivators would dare believe it.

He gazed at the pitch-black jade sphere, which carried the aura of death, a carrier of the Death Cave Heaven anchor point.

Though the jade sphere was not large, once the Death Cave Heaven could no longer restrain the collapsing Cave Heaven energy, the entire Grotto Heaven would return from the void to the real world centered around the sphere.

This process could cause extremely terrifying destruction to a region of the real world; few cultivators could withstand the power of spatial expansion, not even great powers dare face such a spatial expansion.

Li Yuanba thought for a moment and then put away the black jade sphere, thinking it might still have some use.

He summoned the Golden Winged Dapeng and with one ’A Step to Eternity,’ appeared on the Dapeng’s back.

Afterward, he was no longer interested in tasks, making no delay to return riding the Golden Winged Dapeng to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Sitting on the Dapeng’s back, the Golden Winged Dapeng rarely showed signs of unease.

Li Yuanba smiled and patted the Dapeng’s neck, comforting it.

The unease of the Golden Winged Dapeng came from the corpse of Great Power Leng Luo on its back.

Though Leng Luo had fallen, his corpse still emitted an extremely terrifying aura.

Even the Golden Winged Dapeng felt intense fear upon sensing this aura involuntarily.

After comforting the Dapeng, Li Yuanba began to inspect Leng Luo’s corpse.

He did not want to store the corpse in the soul crystal ring, but the issue was Leng Luo’s corpse could not be stored inside, likely due to possessing a spatial item of higher quality than his ring.

Through the body’s examination, he discovered a soul crystal ring, extracting it from Leng Luo’s corpse, astonishing him when the ring converted from energy to physical form.

The soul crystal ring was ten times larger than his, which made it not particularly aesthetic.

But the most important aspect of the soul crystal ring is not its appearance, but the size and stability of its internal space.

Eyes flashing with delight, he set the large ring aside and retrieved the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ from Leng Luo’s corpse.

Gazing at the fifth-grade ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer,’ he understood it may be Leng Luo’s most precious item, his life-bound artifact.

The most critical point was that the fifth-grade ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ could be used by Li Shiming, completely replacing his original Thunder Hammer.

Keep in mind that Li Shiming’s Thunder Hammer, though a spirit treasure level, was still essentially crafted from fourth-grade top materials.

It is uncertain whether the Heavenly Ghost can clear the spirit marks remaining in Leng Luo’s life-bound artifact ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ like other life-bound artifacts.

This would be a challenge for the Heavenly Ghost, as marks left by great powers are not easily erased.

At least for spirit marks left by living powers, the Heavenly Ghost could not remove them.

As with the recognition mark inside the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl,’ presumed left by Great Power Luo Yuan, the Heavenly Ghost attempted to erase it but failed to do so.

Utilizing Divine Sense, he repeatedly scanned the fifth-grade ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer,’ storing the data in IBM z15’s database, where research on the hammer would proceed concurrently.

He then retrieved several Spiritual Objects found by the Duke of Thunder and the Red Demon from Leng Luo’s Grotto Heaven.

First, he took out a Spiritual Object, a fifth-grade thunder refining material, yet he did not even know its name.

This was unsurprising, as fifth-grade materials were only held by great powers, and seldom recorded even in the archives of superpowers.
