Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1912: Chapter 1002: Sending Him Back (Part 2)

The most obvious change is that the trade of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect has once again increased significantly, and many superpowers that were previously only observing have also begun to agree to do business with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Li Shiming didn’t concern himself with these matters of the Cultivation World; as long as no enemies came to the Dongqi Continent, he didn’t want to make any moves.

A day later, the ‘Thunder Prison’ was sealed once again, and his figure appeared in the valley of the ‘Thunder Prison.’

He began to forge the Holy Spirit once more. With the experience of refining seventy-three Holy Spirits before, he started to forge the Holy Spirit again.

Years passed, and he gained sixty Holy Spirits, which he sent into Li Yuanba’s Grotto Heaven, along with over two hundred other Half-step Great Powers. Over the years, the energy output within Li Yuanba’s Grotto Heaven had reached a level sufficient for two hundred sixty-three Half-step Great Powers.

Having done all this, Li Shiming withdrew all the Half-step Great Power Spiritual Pets, leaving only two Dukes of Thunder, one Red Demon, and the Golden Bodhisattva Protector, as well as a Thunder Beast, for Li Yuanba.

In fact, leaving these Half-step Great Powers with Li Yuanba was a waste, as the energy output from Li Yuanba’s Grotto Heaven wouldn’t diminish. This was a conclusion Li Shiming reached after some observation.

As Li Yuanba resided within the Grotto Heaven, he couldn’t leave until he advanced to become a Great Power.

When he eventually becomes a Great Power, the role of these Half-step Great Powers will be very limited, with or without them it wouldn’t matter much.

However, considering that Li Yuanba still needed some helpers, perhaps he needed to travel with the Pocket World Carrier Space Stone or handle some external affairs.

Duke of Thunder and Red Demon could be controlled remotely. Although the speed of the Thunder Beast was slightly slower than that of the Golden Winged Dapeng, after advancing to the Half-step Fifth Grade, its speed was much faster than that of the Golden Winged Dapeng at the fourth grade.

Li Shiming, riding on the Golden Winged Dapeng, spent several hours arriving near the mountain gate of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. He released the Duke of Thunder, transferring the Pocket World Carrier Space Stone from Li Yuanba’s body into the Duke of Thunder’s body.

At this moment, he looked in a direction, and a figure appeared in front of him.

“Greetings, Sword Elder!” Li Shiming recognized this as the avatar of the Sword Elder; he wasn’t very nervous, slightly bowing as a form of respect.

“Is it Li Shizhen? Are you bringing Yuanba back?” The Sword Elder’s avatar glanced at the Duke of Thunder, nodded, and asked.

“Yes, Yuanba said he likes staying in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, so I brought him back!” Li Shiming casually replied.

“Thank you for taking care of Yuanba!” the Sword Elder’s avatar said with a smile.

“Then I shall take my leave!” Seeing the Sword Elder’s avatar was somewhat guarded, Li Shiming didn’t want to cause too much tension with the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and proposed his departure.

After seeing Li Shiming’s figure disappear, the Sword Elder’s avatar waited in place for a while, and only after confirming Li Shiming had left did he let out a long sigh of relief.

He glanced at the Duke of Thunder, being able to sense that Li Yuanba’s Pocket World Carrier Space Stone was still inside the Duke of Thunder.

He had no intention of asking about Li Yuanba meeting with Li Shiming and staying for such a long time.

Li Yuanba and Li Shiming were very close friends, which was a good thing.

Li Yuanba obtained a lot of benefits from Li Shiming, which led to his current achievements.

Otherwise, no matter how talented Li Yuanba was, he couldn’t have advanced to the Half-step Great Power so quickly.

“Yuanba, if you are in contact with Li Shizhen, please tell him not to approach the mountain gates of any superpower; that would cause unnecessary panic!” the Sword Elder’s avatar said in a serious tone.

He knew Li Yuanba could definitely hear him, and he just wanted to convey the message to Li Shiming through Li Yuanba’s mouth.

If he told Li Shiming himself, it might cause a misunderstanding.

Even though he was a Sword Cultivation Great Power, he didn’t want to be an enemy of Li Shiming, who had mysterious means and could annihilate the Da Leiyin Temple.

Not just him, this was the consensus of the entire Cultivation World.

Before the destruction of Da Leiyin Temple, there were still some Great Powers coveting Li Shiming’s opportunities, wanting to gain some benefits from him.

But with the lesson of Da Leiyin Temple, these Great Powers gave up their thoughts about Li Shiming; as long as Li Shiming didn’t go to the superpowers first, they were satisfied.

Li Shiming heard the words of the Sword Elder’s avatar through Li Yuanba and finally understood why the Sword Elder’s avatar was behaving oddly today.

Indeed, with the feat of destroying the Da Leiyin Temple’s mountain gate, any superpower wouldn’t want him near their own mountain gate.

The Duke of Thunder, carrying the Pocket World Carrier Space Stone of Li Yuanba, returned to the cave estate and placed it in its designated spot within the cave estate, then the Duke of Thunder also entered the Grotto Heaven.

The Cultivation World was becoming ever more stable and peaceful, with almost no conflicts at the level of Great Cultivators.

The source of previous Great Cultivator conflicts originated from Li Shiming’s extensive alchemy.

Since Li Shiming entrusted auctions with his alchemy and gradually reduced auction occurrences, the Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines in the Cultivation World transitioned from being heavily consumed to being heavily stockpiled.

Li Shiming’s alchemy skill was so strong that it spoiled the entire Cultivation World’s Great Cultivators, who got used to high-grade Great Cultivator Spirit Pills.

This led to the Great Cultivators storing up Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines once they obtained them, preparing to hand them over to Li Shiming for alchemy.

But as the odds of asking Li Shiming for alchemy grew smaller and smaller, the value of Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines also declined, and the unwritten rule of snatching Great Cultivator resource points also gradually got abandoned.

With no conflicts at the level of Great Cultivators, the Cultivation World naturally grew more peaceful.

And in the Cultivation World, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect emerged as a rising star.

The long-distance Flying Boats of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect traveled between every continent in the Cultivation World, with all superpowers respecting them, facilitating the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s trade.

Of course, not everyone was sensible; two long-distance Flying Boats of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect were robbed by the large force Black Water Island when traveling to the South Zhao Continent, and even the Flying Boats weren’t spared.

The Island Master of Black Water Island called out triumphantly to his followers, for the two long-distance Flying Boats captured in this robbery provided substantial gains.

As for the reputation of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the Island Master didn’t care much, mainly due to the Cultivation World exaggerating Li Shiming’s prowess too much.

Once a cultivator was hyped up in the Cultivation World, it was very likely to be a rumor.

Black Water Island, though a large force, was essentially founded by a group of retired pirates, and due to the Island Master and the other eight Vice Island Masters being at the Great Cultivator Realm, Black Water Island quickly became a large force on the South Zhao Continent upon its establishment.

Because they hadn’t long been established, they lacked a complete intelligence network, leading them to always approach rumors within the Cultivation World with skepticism.

“Boss, how should we handle those captured Ten Thousand Beast Sect cultivators?” the seventh Vice Island Master asked.

“The Ten Thousand Beast Sect is indeed wealthy. Let them give up some resources to exchange their cultivators back!” the Island Master thought and replied, “but stop calling me Boss, call me Island Master!”

The ‘Boss’ name was from back when he was a pirate, and he didn’t want to bring up the past.

He considered himself reformed, aspiring to be a serious cultivator now.

“Island Master, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect is not simple; if they come knocking, wouldn’t it be troublesome?” another Vice Island Master asked worriedly.

“What’s there to fear? Does the Ten Thousand Beast Sect have as many Great Cultivators as we have on Black Water Island? Are they stronger than us?” the Island Master laughed nonchalantly.

“Indeed, although Black Water Island hasn’t been around long, we are incredibly strong!” another Vice Island Master echoed with a laugh.

For a while, the Black Water Island main hall was filled with laughter.

Only they didn’t know that from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s mountain gate, a giant figure had just disappeared into the sky.

That was Li Shiming’s Golden Winged Dapeng, with no one on its back, heading out on its own.

The direction was precisely towards the South Zhao Continent, and more specifically, towards Black Water Island; the Golden Winged Dapeng was heading straight for Black Water Island.
