Chapter 1858 - 975: Heavenly Ghost (2)

If there is no relevant legacy, then the Heavenly Demon and ghost, with their natural restraining effect on thunder and lightning, may not have any chance of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation.

Heaven and earth cannot possibly leave no way out, hence there is a method to counter it.

In fact, the defense secret technique displayed by the Heavenly Ghost actually comes from the legacy of the Heavenly Demon.

Heavenly Thunder has a strong restraining effect on Heavenly Demons. If a Heavenly Demon descends into a cultivator’s body, it must consider the heavenly tribulation encountered during the cultivator’s major realm advancement.

Therefore, in the Heavenly Demon’s legacy knowledge, there is a method to counter the thunder tribulation.

One after another, the Heavenly Thunders struck down, the Heavenly Ghost resisting the might of the Heavenly Thunder, while the mental energy within it was consuming greatly.

If it weren’t for the soul energy replenishment from the soul fragment of Great Power Luo Yuan’s avatar, even with the secret method to counter the Heavenly Thunder, the Heavenly Ghost could not be protected.

Until the eighth Heavenly Thunder descended, which consumed the mental energy within the Heavenly Ghost to its limit, any further consumption would destabilize the Heavenly Ghost’s realm, possibly causing it to fall back to the fourth grade during its experience with the Heavenly Tribulation.

If that really happened, it would also fail to pass the ninth Heavenly Thunder.

Li Shiming could only feel anxious. For such matters of crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, he could not intervene at the last moment if he did not initially step in.

Because the moment he intervenes, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would multiply.

Moreover, this was a Half-step Great Power Level Heavenly Tribulation. Although his realm surpassed the Peak Great Cultivator level, due to not having a fundamental major realm enhancement, his strength increase was limited.

A Half-step Great Power Level Heavenly Tribulation is not something he could withstand.

The ninth Heavenly Thunder descended, and Li Shiming felt the energy of annihilation crashing down.

Even though he was still some distance away from where the Heavenly Thunder struck, he could still feel the aura of destruction within the Heavenly Thunder.

Heavenly Thunder smashed onto the Heavenly Ghost, whose black lines instantly collapsed, but just when the Heavenly Thunder was about to harm the Heavenly Ghost, golden lightning flashed on its body, transforming it into gold in an instant.

Because the Heavenly Ghost is transparent, with the blessing of the Anti-lightning Secret Method, it shows such a dazzling effect.

For other normal beings, it is impossible for gold to penetrate from beneath the skin, lacking the dazzling brilliance on the Heavenly Ghost’s body.

This is the Anti-lightning Secret Method Li Shiming bestowed upon the Heavenly Ghost, though it’s quite exhausting to counter the ninth Heavenly Thunder.

Under the attack of the Heavenly Thunder, the Heavenly Ghost’s body was blown away, and the golden brilliance did not last long before dissipating.

Li Shiming couldn’t help but exhale a breath of relief, although the Heavenly Ghost was severely injured, it managed to survive the Heavenly Tribulation.

In fact, at the last moment, the Heavenly Ghost, apart from receiving help from the Anti-lightning Secret Method, also saved itself.

At the instant when the Heavenly Thunder fell, the Heavenly Ghost performed a void state, where it could to some extent neutralize physical and energy attacks.

Unfortunately, the power of the Heavenly Thunder was too great, exceeding the limits the void state of the Heavenly Ghost could withstand.

Thus, with one blow, although the void state of the Heavenly Ghost neutralized some attacks, the remaining attack almost obliterated it.

Li Shiming felt joy in his heart as he looked at the Heavenly Ghost, who was at that moment savoring it.

Awarded by heaven and earth, a mysterious energy appeared within the Heavenly Ghost out of nowhere.

The injuries on the Heavenly Ghost’s body were completely healed within two breaths, and its mental energy was entirely transformed into a Half-step Fifth Grade spirit under the effect of the mysterious energy.

Even more heritage came pouring into its mind after the Heavenly Ghost crossed the Heavenly Tribulation.

The heritage entering at this time included that of the Heavenly Demon and the ghost, and it was extremely comprehensive.

Li Shiming held the Heavenly Ghost in his palm. Although the Heavenly Ghost’s power had leaped from fourth grade to a Half-step Fifth Grade, its decreased size made him feel no threat in its current state.

The thing he worried most about, the Heavenly Ghost retaliating against its master, was relieved when he connected with the Heavenly Ghost through their contract.

The contract relationship between the Heavenly Ghost and him was very close and did not affect due to the Heavenly Ghost’s realm advancement.

”I wonder how much soul energy it’s going to take to grow you back!” Li Shiming looked at the small Heavenly Ghost and couldn’t help but complain.

The growth of the Heavenly Ghost is actually quite simple, it just needs to find a Half-step Great Power, slay it, and give its soul to the Heavenly Ghost to devour.

Only, finding a Half-step Great Power, and one that’s adversarial, is not easy.

Li Shiming took hold of the soul crystal ring belonging to Luo Yuan’s Great Power avatar, having little interest in the treasures it held.

The spiritual objects that could be placed on a Great Power avatar should not be anything particularly precious.

If there was anything valuable, it should be prioritized for the main body, while the avatar could only use what was leftover.

The owner of this soul crystal ring had perished, and its restrictions were lifted.

Li Shiming casually used the Master Recognition Technique, enabling the soul crystal ring to recognize him as the master. His divine sense entered the soul crystal ring.

As he expected, the spiritual objects in the soul crystal ring were very few, mostly items for emergency use.

”Why are there so many Jade Scrolls?” Li Shiming wondered, discovering a pile of Jade Scrolls in the soul crystal ring, the only spiritual object that caught his eye.

He did not know that Great Power Luo Yuan, fearing accidents, had backed up multiple copies of Yuqing Sect’s legacy records.

There was a complete set of Yuqing Sect’s legacy records on Great Power Luo Yuan’s avatar’s side, which is what Li Shiming saw in the heap of Jade Scrolls.

Do not belittle these Jade Scrolls, for they contain Yuqing Sect’s complete legacy.

The complete legacy of a superpower includes records related to advancing to Great Power.

Even though Li Yuanba had a prominent position in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, he could only access records related to achieving Half-step Great Power, but he still had no authority to access higher-level records.

But looking at the Jade Scrolls before him, Li Shiming’s divine sense swept through, discovering records on advancing to Great Power, where Yuqing Sect’s ancestors documented the entire process of advancing to Great Power.

Through these records, Li Shiming could see the entire process of a Great Cultivator advancing to Half-step Great Power and then to Great Power, even including the psychological changes of this Great Power during the advancement process.

There were also records describing the internal process of advancing to Half-step Great Power and Great Power, with each realm’s required Spirit Pill and their formulas attached.

Of course, this stack of Jade Scrolls contained much more than these contents, including knowledge from all arts of cultivation, knowledge of the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’, various Thunder Cultivator Secret Techniques, and so on.

Gaining these records was equivalent to obtaining Yuqing Sect’s legacy.

Unfortunately, the search for disciples with thunder affinity by the Ten Thousand Beast Sect has yet to yield results.

This shows how difficult it is to discover a disciple with thunder affinity.

But there’s still time, and it shouldn’t take long before the Ten Thousand Beast Sect finds a disciple with thunder affinity. By then, he could provide some thunder cultivation techniques and secret methods to develop powerful Thunder Cultivators from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

He also found a blank talisman, though it wasn’t truly blank but previously used, with only chaotic blank talismans remaining inside.

Such blank talismans couldn’t be reused, but he felt a special aura from the blank talisman.

He continuously cast multiple spells, and the original magic rune faintly appeared on the blank talisman, revealing a spell that conceals one’s aura.

Li Shiming observed while collecting all data into the database using IBMz15.

Reconstructing the previous magic rune from the blank talisman was not easy, but through this research, he could greatly enhance his understanding of spells.

After repeatedly checking the soul crystal ring and finding no useful spiritual objects, he then put away the soul crystal ring.

Simultaneously, he stored the found Jade Scrolls into the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, within his own Book Collection Pavilion.
