Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1951: Chapter 1022: Opportunity for Advancement

The two brand-new fifth-grade spiritual treasures fashioned using Li Shiming’s unique artifact refining method have elevated his combat strength once more.

Especially in cultivation, he didn’t expect these two fifth-grade lifebound treasures to provide him more than double the cultivation speed boost.

In fact, every cultivator can only possess one lifebound treasure; during his Qi Refinement Realm, his random cultivation led him to form the ‘Five Elements Qi Absorption Array’. Subsequently, from five Golden Cores to five Nascent Souls, and finally to five grotto heavens, allowing him to simultaneously possess five lifebound treasures.

By the time he cultivates fifth-grade materials within his five grotto heavens and uses these self-grown materials to refine lifebound spiritual treasures, he will then be able to elevate his cultivation speed to the utmost.

For some reason, Yin Shilan’s understanding of the rules has reached a very high level, yet she hasn’t felt an opportunity for advancement.

With Li Shiming as a comparison, even if she maintains a calm demeanor, she can’t help but feel a bit anxious.

Upon seeing this situation, although Li Shiming is already a mighty force, he too has no good solution for her condition.

The opportunity for advancement is indescribable, as each cultivator’s opportunity differs.

Some cultivators find their advancement opportunity from observing clouds in the sky, others from a moment of enlightenment, while some gain it through fierce battles; the manner in which an advancement opportunity is obtained varies greatly and is often elusive.

“Lan’er, let me accompany you to Luanyang Palace!” Li Shiming said to Yin Shilan one day.

“I’ve not visited Luanyang Palace for a long time, but might it affect you in any way?” Yin Shilan indeed wants to go to Luanyang Palace, yet she thinks of Li Shiming first.

With her cultivation already at the Peak Great Cultivator Realm, even her master can’t offer her much assistance.

The one most able to help her is Luanyang Palace.

The ‘Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens’ she practices is best guided by Luanyang Palace, regardless of whether it’s the Phoenix Palace Master or the Meng Jun powerhouse, they offer better guidance compared to Li Shiming.

“With my strength, there won’t be any danger here!” Li Shiming smiled confidently.

He was, of course, confident; not mentioning his teleportation ring, even without it, his strength is enough to contend with current inheritor great abilities.

He left a phantom clone at Ten Thousand Beast Sect and set off with Yin Shilan for the Central State Continent himself.

Yet before heading to the Central State Continent, they need to inform Luanyang Palace, along with the other superpower factions.

In the Cultivation World, rarely does a great power venture out, as those remaining in the Cultivation World are inheritor great abilities.

A free great power like Li Shiming roaming, especially traveling across continents, can cause unease to the continental superpower factions.

This time, however, the journey is not in a hurry.

Yin Shilan took out the fourth-grade top-level ‘Feiyu Wind Stepping Boat’, gifted by Li Shiming, and set off towards the Central State Continent with him.

What Li Shiming is unaware of is that this journey has made multiple superpower factions jittery.

The Infinite Sect, Beidou Sect, and Guiyuan Sect, whose relations with Li Shiming are ordinary, even have some conflicts due to Li Yuanba. Upon hearing Li Shiming’s arrival at the Central State Continent, they promptly contacted other great abilities.

They’re not seeking to oppose Li Shiming but rather to safeguard themselves.

Especially engaging the Meng Jun powerhouse, hoping for Meng Jun’s mediation, so Li Shiming won’t be compelled to act against them.

Li Shiming’s threat is immensely significant, and with alliances like Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and Luanyang Palace on the Central State Continent, these factions dare not propose a coalition against him.

Meanwhile, the Central State Commerce, though not an ally with Li Shiming, has even tighter interest ties.

Unbeknownst to Li Shiming, the ‘Feiyu Wind Stepping Boat’, a fourth-grade top-level flying boat from Feiyu Sect, in the past always represented the Wen Chao powerhouse’s travels while now it belongs to Yin Shilan, carrying more influence than before.

As the ‘Feiyu Wind Stepping Boat’ nears the Central State Continent, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, Central State Commerce, Luanyang Palace, Infinite Sect, Beidou Sect, and Guiyuan Sect all send great cultivators to escort.

Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and Luanyang Palace are allies, Central State Commerce is a friend, while Infinite Sect, Beidou Sect, and Guiyuan Sect strive to make a good impression on Li Shiming.

Regardless, Central State Continent’s factions are showing Li Shiming the utmost respect.

Simultaneously, these factions are also preventing any unaware cultivators on the Central State Continent from accidentally offending Li Shiming, thus giving him a negative impression of the continent.

Li Shiming did not express gratitude, as being a great power sets him apart significantly from those great cultivators.

Of course, these great cultivators won’t harbor any grievances over his disregard; escorting a free great power, especially one from their generation, is a rare honor.

Upon seeing the ‘Feiyu Wind Stepping Boat’, the great cultivators hold Li Shiming in even greater awe.

The great cultivators escort the ‘Feiyu Wind Stepping Boat’ to the boundary of Luanyang Palace’s cave heaven space barrier, where Meng Jun’s avatar is waiting personally.

“Greetings to Mr. Meng, my apologies for any inconvenience this time due to Lan’er’s matter!” Li Shiming smiled, greeted Meng Jun, and spoke.

“We’re one family, if I sense correctly, Shilan is about to advance, and I have some experience here, hoping to assist!” Meng Jun replied with a smile, she added: “Let’s call you Junior Li, and you call me Senior Sister Meng!”
