Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1946: Chapter 1019: Exchange (2)

Li Shiming’s talent is unparalleled in the history of the Cultivation World.

The Sword Elder’s avatar is someone who cherishes talent, and seeing Li Shiming’s extraordinary gifts, naturally hopes Li Shiming can go further.

Given the relationship between Li Yuanba and Li Shiming, Li Shiming’s improvement in strength would greatly benefit Li Yuanba as well.

“Sword Elder, I often hear about Free Great Powers and Inheritor Great Abilities. What is the difference between them, and where did those Free Great Powers go?” Li Shiming asked his question.

“Inheritor Great Abilities like us use certain methods to take control of an Inheritance Cave Heaven and forcibly elevate ourselves to the Mahayana Realm. Our potential is limited, with almost no possibility to advance further.

Free Great Powers are those who, through their own efforts, construct their own Grotto Heavens. Such great powers are not restricted by Cave Heavens and can move freely in the Cultivation World during the stipulated times.

As for where the Free Great Powers have gone, it is inevitable to speak about their potential. Those who become Free Great Powers possess the best talent, giving them possibilities to advance further.

Free Great Powers have discovered a certain space, full of both opportunities and dangers, similar to the experiences past ascendant cultivators have had.

If you need to search for opportunities, I have a map here. Once you have confidence in your own strength, you can go seek those opportunities!” The Sword Elder’s avatar took out a Jade Scroll and handed it to Li Shiming as he spoke.

“Before you leave, cultivate an Inheritor Great Ability for the Ten Thousand Beast Sect before leaving. Otherwise, it will be difficult to ensure if the Ten Thousand Beast Sect can maintain the title of a superpower after your departure!” At this moment, Great Power Meng Jun interjected.

Given the relationship between Luanyang Palace and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the increase in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s strength serves as a powerful ally for Luanyang Palace.

Luanyang Palace has invested a lot in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and once the Ten Thousand Beast Sect has enough strength, they would never stand by should Luanyang Palace face trouble.

Li Shiming accepted the Jade Scroll, which contained a simplified map.

It couldn’t help but be simplified; the marked scope of the map was too vast, and if every spot were clearly depicted, the map would become too cumbersome.

He discovered the route leaving the Cultivation World, a super long-distance route leading directly beyond the range of human cultivator forces and into the deep ocean.

Li Shiming felt a surge of joy in his heart as he finally found the place where he could elevate himself.

Even though Li Shiming’s strength grew rapidly, this growth was just an accumulation phase, and no matter how much energy accumulated, it remained at the Early Mahayana level.

To advance further to the Mid Mahayana, he needed to add a core to his Grotto Heaven. However, the required core was not an ordinary Heavenly Mechanism Treasure but a higher-quality one.

This higher-quality Heavenly Mechanism Treasure is not available in the Cultivation World; it only exists in the space filled with both dangers and opportunities.

So if Li Shiming wants to elevate his realm, he must go to that space.

This is something he must do, as he is not content with just becoming great; his goal is to ascend and witness the world after ascension.

This was the first time Li Shiming sat down for a conversation with several Great Powers. Initially, the Sword Elder explained the Cultivation World’s secrets, and then it became a mutual chat among the Great Powers.

Although the Great Powers have long life spans, it is not easy for them to gather together.

It is only due to recent turbulent times that the Great Powers remain vigilant.

When Da Leiyin Temple was attacked by Li Yuanba using a remote flying sword, it was because the Great Power did not respond in time.

This incident prompted the other superpowers’ Great Powers as a reminder; they all maintain some connection to address emergencies.

It also ensures that when something happens at the sect, the Great Powers can respond immediately.

Finally, after a few hours, the avatars of the Great Powers ended their discussions.

Li Shiming gained a clearer understanding of many matters in the Cultivation World. Previously, he would not observe things from the perspective of a Great Power.

The exchanges among the Great Powers allowed him to understand many things.

For example, if conflicts arise between two or more superpowers, it is generally deliberate.

Just like the relationship between Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and the White Emperor Sect is antagonistic. Constant conflicts lead to mutual losses among the sects’ cultivators.

But despite this, the friendship between White Emperor Sect’s Xuan Yi Great Power and the Sword Elder means they won’t interfere in the conflicts between the two superpowers, even if some cultivators fall.

It’s through the antagonistic relationship between Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and the White Emperor Sect that cultivators from both superpowers always find battling opportunities.

Li Shiming returned to Dongqi Continent and dispatched cultivators to take over the Feiyu Sect’s affairs on behalf of the Great Powers.

As they took over the Feiyu Sect issues, the other superpowers realized the extent of the Feiyu Sect’s losses.

Besides the Great Cultivators, all other cultivators perished.

The Great Cultivators suffered some injuries and hid within the Inheritance Cave Heaven.

Fortunately, the Half-step Great Powers of the Feiyu Sect were unaffected, so the other superpowers will assist the Feiyu Sect in managing everything within its influence.

As for the Feiyu Sect’s control of interests outside its influence, that became the reward for the superpowers taking action.

Li Shiming used some time to return to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and immediately entered his Grotto Heaven upon arrival.

He took out the corpse of Great Power Wen Chao and found a fifth-grade spiritual treasure fan and a soul crystal ring.

The fifth-grade spiritual treasure fan was of no use to Li Shiming, unlike the treasured ‘Banana Treasure Fan.’ This fifth-grade spiritual treasure fan was entirely designed to complement the Feiyu Sect’s Cultivation Technique.

When Li Shiming focused his mind on the soul crystal ring, he was astounded.

It could be said to be the most abundant soul crystal ring he had ever seen, with such a large number and high quality of Spiritual Objects, he could hardly believe it.

A multitude of Jade Scrolls was neatly organized inside.

This was effectively a backup of all the Feiyu Sect’s inheritances, prepared in case of accidents, so the Inheritor Great Ability could rebuild the Feiyu Sect.

These Jade Scrolls would also enrich Li Shiming’s knowledge, providing him with numerous texts and allowing IBMz15 to understand the Cultivation World better.

Afterwards, he encountered a substantial quantity of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, most of which were made by Li Shiming himself.

Li Shiming then found a fourth-grade top flying boat; given his current standing, he had no reservations and immediately claimed it after seeing it.

‘Feiyu Wind Stepping Boat’ was the name of this fourth-grade top flying boat.

The boat’s greatest advantage was that it accelerated by utilizing wind rules, making it faster by thirty to forty percent compared to ordinary fourth-grade top flying boats.

Li Shiming shook his head, somewhat disappointed with the ‘Feiyu Wind Stepping Boat.’

However, as a fourth-grade top flying boat, its performance was something most cultivators desired.

Along with its appealing appearance, he decided to give the ‘Feiyu Wind Stepping Boat’ to Yin Shilan.

All along, he had been quite ‘stingy’ with Yin Shilan, not wanting other cultivators to covet her.

His ‘stinginess’ was only apparent with Spiritual Objects, not with the cultivation resources provided to Yin Shilan.

Yin Shilan’s promotion to Peak Great Cultivator was thanks to him. Without abundant resources and the help of the treasured ‘Heavenly Spirit Jade Pearl,’ Yin Shilan wouldn’t reach Peak Great Cultivator status.

Li Shiming found heaps of resources in the soul crystal ring, all fourth-grade and in vast amounts.

This should have been the Feiyu Sect’s accumulated resources; it is unclear why they were in Wen Chao Great Power’s soul crystal ring, as they should be stored in the sect treasury.

Finally, he discovered another treasure. Once he claimed it, he learned the treasure’s name and function.

The treasure was called ‘Wind Suppressing Pearl’, and its sole purpose was to ignore any wind system attacks.
