Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1919: Chapter 1006: Half-Step

Just as Li Shiming put away the ‘Hundred Herbs Garden’, he felt the repulsion of the Divine Palace. Then, Spatial Energy wrapped around him as he was about to be sent out of the Divine Palace.

Calculating the time, the opening period of the Divine Palace had ended.

At the moment he was about to be expelled, the ‘Traceless Illusion Sword’ swept through, slaying six Peak Great Cultivators.

The six Peak Great Cultivators were originally rejoicing because they sensed that the Divine Palace was about to send them away.

The method by which the Divine Palace sends out cultivators from within is quite random.

Although the range of randomness isn’t large, it still affords them a greater chance of surviving.

But they never expected that Li Shiming wouldn’t afford them the slightest opportunity. At the moment of being sent away by the Divine Palace, he killed them.

After their death, the Spatial Energy gathered on them by the Divine Palace also dissipated.

Before being sent away, Li Shiming collected their bodies.

With the shift in space, upon reemerging, Li Shiming found himself in the void, at the periphery of the Divine Palace.

He could sense teams of cultivators approaching the area from afar, coming to receive the Peak Great Cultivators who explored the Divine Palace.

It’s known that each Peak Great Cultivator who leaves the Divine Palace alive carries a large amount of Great Cultivator resources.

These Great Cultivator resources play a crucial role for super forces and are also one of the main resources for cultivating disciples.

Li Shiming had no intention of facing them. He summoned the Golden Winged Dapeng, sat on its back, and issued a command to it.

The Golden Winged Dapeng carried him away, disappearing from the original location, moving several times through space to distance from the boundary of the Divine Palace.

Shortly after his departure, the various receiving teams received word from their sects that their Peak Great Cultivators exploring the Divine Palace had fallen.

Moreover, they perished just moments before the Divine Palace was about to close. Due to the time constraint, the six super forces didn’t have time to exchange intelligence.

This led various receiving teams to believe that the Peak Great Cultivators of other super forces had launched a sneak attack. Before more intelligence was gathered, the teams engaged in several battles in the area, incurring mutual losses.

None of this concerned Li Shiming, as he was now deep within the Cloud Island Sea.

With a map of the Cloud Island Sea, he was looking for a secluded spot to close up and advance to the Half-step Great Power stage right there in the Cloud Island Sea.

Moreover, the teleportation ring had just been used, requiring at least twenty years to recover. He wouldn’t risk anything in such a state.

Finding an uninhabited island, he stored the Golden Winged Dapeng into the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven.

With a flash, Li Shiming arrived on the uninhabited island, and the ‘Traceless Illusion Sword’ flew out, excavating downward along the island’s reef.

He dug to a depth of fifty meters before establishing a cave abode there.

The choice of being within the internal Cloud Island Sea, as opposed to the outer sea where fewer cultivators reside, was due to the lesser disturbances from spirit beasts internally, unlike the outer sea, which might interrupt cultivation.

He took out black-and-white stones, arranging a formation around this temporary cave abode.

The formation could lock every trace within, preventing even the Spiritual Energy from leaking out.

After setting up the formation, he transferred spiritual veins from the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven.

Apart from the spiritual veins left for Yin Shilan’s cultivation, the rest were transferred to the temporary cave abode.

Although he had the method for breakthrough, he wasn’t in a hurry and chose to wait for the increase in Spiritual Energy.

Over the years, he and his counterpart Li Yuanba had destroyed numerous sects and slain many powerful cultivators, obtaining a frighteningly large number of spiritual veins.

Especially from cultivators above the Great Cultivator Realm from super forces, each carrying enough personal spiritual veins for their own cultivation.

Previously, after acquiring these spiritual veins, he would casually send them into the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, increasing the supply of Spiritual Energy there.

Now, at the time when Spiritual Energy was needed, his formerly casual actions provided the foundation needed for his advancement to Half-step Great Power.

Typically, when Peak Great Cultivators advance to Half-step Great Power, their sects specifically supply main spiritual veins to ensure the advancement process isn’t hindered by a lack of energy.

The risks of advancing to Half-step Great Power are immense, and any error in the process could be fatal.

Unfortunately, Li Shiming wasn’t a disciple of a super force, nor did he have a specially arranged retreat environment for advancing to Half-step Great Power.

In this regard, he was inferior to his counterpart Li Yuanba, who had a retreat environment prepared by the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion for his advancement.

Nevertheless, the resources in Li Shiming’s possession were vast. Though one couldn’t say he alone was equivalent to a super force, his resources certainly surpassed those of a large sect.

For example, regarding spiritual veins, one could easily calculate the number of his Great Cultivator spiritual veins based on the number of Great Cultivators he and his counterpart Li Yuanba had slain.

Anyway, two months later, within this temporary spiritual vein, the Spiritual Energy was tightly locked by the formation, forming a mist in the air.

During these two months, Li Shiming continuously observed the records of the ‘Divine Perception Stele’ illusions within the IBMz15.

In the fifth century of his entry into the Cultivation World, he finally began advancing to Half-step Great Power.

Surrounded by misty Spiritual Energy, he took a deep breath and began operating the ‘Heavenly Human Technique’.

The method of breaking through the Great Cultivator Realm using the ‘Heavenly Human Technique’, combined with the experience gained from the ‘Divine Perception Stele’, made his main brain gradually immerse into the cultivation state.
