Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1902: Chapter 997: Enhancement II

The Great Powers are waiting for Li Shiming to fall on his own; fighting to the death with someone like Li Shiming isn’t worth it.

Li Shiming then had a long period of stability, which he earned with his strength.

The ‘Thunder Prison’ that Li Shiming used for more than half a year reopened, and when Thunder Cultivators entered it, they found the enhancing effects of the ‘Thunder Prison’ on Thunder Cultivators had become even stronger.

Li Shiming ventured out to the Central State Continent once more, this time riding the Golden Winged Dapeng, with Yin Shilan in the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, accompanying him.

Ever since he was targeted by powerful forces, he kept Yin Shilan by his side at all times.

Yin Shilan was his reverse scale, his only flaw.

Even Ten Thousand Beast Sect had intelligence infiltration from super forces, but no matter how these forces tried, they couldn’t glean any information about Yin Shilan.

Because Yin Shilan’s cave was in the air of Ten Thousand Beast Sect, protected by six formation peaks, making it impossible for cultivators to approach.

Not to mention targeting Yin Shilan, once noticed by the Great Powers, Li Shiming had Yin Shilan enter the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, leaving all super forces with no chance at all.

Riding on the back of the Golden Winged Dapeng, Li Shiming experienced something very different from before.

The back of the Golden Winged Dapeng had expanded dramatically, with a protective barrier from the five-colored divine light that ensured the space on its back remained unaffected by the outside world.

The area was enough not just for one person, but even a thousand people could be accommodated.

The biggest difference was not in the area but in the speed; the protective barrier with the five-colored divine light prevented passengers from experiencing the vertigo of space leaps as the Golden Winged Dapeng continuously jumped through space.

Of course, Li Shiming himself didn’t experience dizziness from space movement; the speed of the Golden Winged Dapeng allowed him to reach the Central State Continent’s Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, a thousand miles outside its mountain gate, in just five watches.

He dared to come to the Central State Continent because he knew from intelligence that all super forces had analyzed him, knowing he was currently safe.

At the mountain gate of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, Jian Wuwei received another sound transmission spell from Li Yuanba.

Jian Wuwei was also helpless, as Li Yuanba was possibly the most frequently active half-step Great Power.

No half-step Great Power constantly contacts the outside world; normally, they stabilize their Grotto Heaven by concentrating their mind, increasing its energy through cultivation.

But look at Li Yuanba, it hasn’t been long and yet he is calling me again.

Arriving at Li Yuanba’s seclusion cave mansion, Jian Wuwei entered after the formation activated, and by then, the space gate was already prepared.

Jian Wuwei walked into the space gate, seeing Li Yuanba looking at him with a smile.

“Master, your cultivation hasn’t advanced much!” Li Yuanba said with a laugh.

“Yuanba, advancing in the Great Cultivator Realm isn’t easy, did you think everyone is a genius like you and Li Shiming?” Jian Wuwei replied, not too pleased.

He was one of the few who knew Li Shiming’s true identity, but now that the names Li Shiming and Li Shizhen are distinct, even if it spreads, it doesn’t matter.

“Master, later you should go to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to collect some Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, just consider it as your disciple’s tribute!” Li Yuanba continued.

“Li Shiming has had no small troubles recently, only his formidable strength ensures he still has a place to stay; I’ll go to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect in the name of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, to show our support!” Jian Wuwei waved his hand indifferently.

If Li Yuanba couldn’t sense Jian Wuwei’s excitement through ‘Telepathy’, he would have thought Jian Wuwei didn’t care about Great Cultivator Spirit Pills at all.

It’s known in the Cultivation World that the high-level spirit pills Li Shiming refines for Great Cultivators are becoming increasingly hard to acquire.

Previously, Li Shiming opened up refinement, turning all the Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines stockpiled by the various forces into high-level spirit pills for Great Cultivators.

However, although a lot was refined, the consumption was equally large.

Having access to a large number of high-level spirit pills for Great Cultivators gave the Great Cultivators, who had previously given up on progress, new hope for advancement.

Thus, the Great Cultivators started consuming more spirit pills than before, and since they are key representatives of the various forces, this led to a decline in Great Cultivator resources in the Cultivation World.

Now, Li Shiming’s alchemy commissions must be acquired through auctions, and the previously refined high-level spirit pills for Great Cultivators have been mostly consumed.

This significantly increased the value of the high-level spirit pills for Great Cultivators that Li Shiming refined.

Even the Jian Family branch of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, through the relationship of Li Yuanba and Li Shiming, couldn’t ensure a steady supply of high-level spirit pills for Great Cultivators.

“Master, the reason I asked you to come is to have you inform Elder Sword that I need to go out to meet a friend!” Li Yuanba voiced his intention.

“Yuanba, you’re constructing a Grotto Heaven, a half-step Great Power, how could you have such an idea?” Jian Wuwei was stunned, never expecting Li Yuanba to make such a request.

“I know my own matters best. I’m going out to see Li Shiming and plan to follow him for a while; please grant your permission, Master!” Li Yuanba thought it over but decided to be honest.

“Fine, since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll go speak with Elder Sword!” Jian Wuwei initially wanted to persuade him but relented, choosing to say instead.

Nobody knows the friendship between Li Yuanba and Li Shiming better than Jian Wuwei.

Honestly, he was immensely envious of this friendship, cultivated since their lower level stages, as it was the purest form of friendship.

He believed in the kind of trust between Li Yuanba and Li Shiming that allowed them to entrust their backs to one another.

Looking at the resources Li Yuanba used during cultivation, they weren’t supplied by Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, leaving only Li Shiming as the likely source.

He even speculated that the resources needed for Li Yuanba’s advancement to a half-step Great Power also came from Li Shiming.

This relationship made him not suspect that Li Shiming would pose any threat to Li Yuanba, considering that Li Yuanba actively wanted to find Li Shiming.

After leaving for a while, Jian Wuwei returned to the Grotto Heaven.

“The Elder agreed; how will you leave?” Jian Wuwei inquired of Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba pointed at a Duke of Thunder, who then vanished from the Grotto Heaven in a flash.

Understanding Li Yuanba’s plan, Jian Wuwei followed him out of the Grotto Heaven and saw the Duke of Thunder reach out into the void and grab something invisible, pressing it against himself.

When the Duke of Thunder left the cave mansion, no longer concealed by its formation, the mountain gate formation of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion detected the presence of this half-step Great Power, immediately sounding an alarm.

Jian Wuwei took out his Identity Jade Disc to authenticate the Duke of Thunder.

While he explained, the Duke of Thunder vanished inside the mountain gate formation of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion in a flash.

His Identity Jade Disc held formation control privileges; through the formation, he sensed the Duke of Thunder, who first appeared outside it, then performed several space movements, leaving the range of the Cave Heaven space barrier.

“This kid sure has many secrets!” The avatar of Elder Sword appeared beside Jian Wuwei, commenting placidly.

“No matter how many secrets, he’s my disciple and also a disciple of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!” Jian Wuwei smiled in response.

He was immensely proud of Li Yuanba.

Having wandered, he not only cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage, returned to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, but also nurtured a super talent.

Even among all the Sword Cultivator disciples of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, none could compare to Li Yuanba, and that’s Jian Wuwei’s pride.

“I hope he can grow up to become a Free Great Power!” Elder Sword’s avatar expressed, without any intent to explore Li Yuanba’s secrets, merely relaying a sentiment.

“If it truly can’t be helped, perhaps he could inherit the Inheritor Great Ability, what do you think?” Jian Wuwei asked, somewhat hesitantly.

“I doubt he’d even want it; by the time I need to transfer the Inheritance Cave Heaven, he’ll likely already be a Great Power. This Inheritance Cave Heaven should be left for you!” Elder Sword’s avatar shook his head with a smile.

It wasn’t just a tradition of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion that the Inheritance Cave Heaven generally passed through the Jian Family line; Elder Sword also held higher hopes for Li Yuanba.
