Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 2084: Chapter 1088: Late Stage (Part 2)

If I stay here, I’m afraid a large number of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ will arrive soon.

He wasn’t concerned, but he had just ascended and still needed to stabilize his current realm.

With a wave of his hand, he collected all of his spiritual pets.

Then his figure flashed and disappeared. Several hours after he left, a battle formation consisting of three late-stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, several dozen mid-stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, and hundreds of half-step fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ arrived here.

Unfortunately, they were too late; there was no trace of Li Shiming left.

The disappointed ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ did not delve deep into the Immortal Domain; they possess wisdom on par with cultivators.

Discovering over a hundred fifth-grade spirit beasts gathered, it’s hard for the Divine Domain not to ponder.

The events that happened in the Divine Domain over a hundred years ago were considered to be the work of the Immortal Alliance by the Divine Domain. This discovery makes them question whether the Immortal Alliance is plotting something significant again.

It didn’t take long for the Divine Domain to gather a large number of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ at the border, closely monitoring the situation at each altar.

Li Shiming summoned the Golden Winged Dapeng and sat on its back.

The Golden Winged Dapeng headed towards the back of the Immortal Domain; he was preparing to return to the Central State.

Now that he had reached the late-stage great power, he had felt the speed at which his cultivation progressed. Even with abundant resources, it would take at least five hundred to a thousand years to possibly achieve the late-stage peak great power realm.

This was the assessment given by IBMz15, based on a wealth of classical texts and a thorough analysis of himself.

Li Shiming contemplated the future development of his power; to hasten the pace, he would need to significantly enhance his comprehension of the rules.

The difficulty of enhancing rule comprehension is exceedingly challenging for any great power.

Especially having reached the late-stage great power realm, every bit of advancement is not easy.

The late-stage great power realm is already touching the core of the world’s rules, which is why progress becomes more arduous.

In previous realms, one could find an object for observation and at least have something to reference.

But for a late-stage great power, who can they observe? Even if there are stronger entities, would they allow a late-stage great power to observe them?

Maybe, but that certainly doesn’t include Li Shiming; Li Shiming is the strongest ancestor in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and there is no stronger being for him to observe.

However, observation is not impossible; the existence of the Golden Saint offers him the chance to observe a deeper level of rule comprehension.

The Golden Saint is now in the same realm, and the help he can provide will become increasingly limited.

His goal is to help the Golden Saint improve his strength and repair the broken divine persona.

Now, with his realm advancement and having finished his alchemy tasks in the Land of Fallen Immortals, it is time for him to carry out his plans.

After the Golden Winged Dapeng ascended to the mid fifth-grade, when it performed space movement, it mostly stayed within the space channel, appearing outside only as a shadow before re-entering the channel.

From the Immortal Domain’s boundary to the entrance at the back, the Golden Winged Dapeng only took ten hours.

At this speed, it would likely take him only ten days to return to the Central State.

While Li Shiming was returning to the Central State, Li Yuanba and Li Taibai were also preparing to ascend to the late-stage great power.

The relationship between Li Shiming and his avatars is quite intriguing; sometimes, the avatars advance first, providing the main body with valuable experience.

This time, after the main body ascended to the late-stage great power, Li Yuanba and Li Taibai faced no further obstacles in their rule comprehension.

In Li Yuanba’s Grotto Heaven Core were ’Gold Element Rule Rune’, ’Sword Intent Rule Rune’, and ’Space Rule Rune’, all part of the rule runes mastered by Li Shiming.

The same was true for Li Taibai, who also possessed ’Thunder Rule Rune’ and ’Space Rule Rune’, also part of the rule runes mastered by Li Shiming.

After Li Shiming advanced to the late-stage great power and shared his insights, Li Yuanba and Li Taibai’s rule comprehension also reached the late-stage great power level.

”Activate the Immortal Residence Array and unleash all the energy available!” Yi Yao Great Power flew out from his wooden building, sensing the aura from Li Yuanba’s wooden building, and couldn’t help but shout loudly.

The array of the Seven Immortals Residence was instantly activated, with many formation barriers appearing outward from the center of the Seven Immortals Residence.

”What’s happening?” Great Power Lin Jing asked in surprise.

Great Power Ding Feng also approached Yi Yao Great Power, looking at Li Yuanba’s wooden building with a sense of perception but without certainty.

”Yuanba is ascending to the late-stage great power. Brother Ding and I are guarding outside; he didn’t inform us before his ascension!” Yi Yao Great Power shook his head and said.

He and Li Yuanba cultivate the same Cultivation Technique, and despite the isolation from the wooden building’s formation, the aura of the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ advancing from the wooden building was still perceived by him.

”He’s really ascending to the late stage!” Great Power Lin Jing said incredulously.

Here, Li Yuanba was the youngest, not even a thousand years old, yet he was about to ascend to the late-stage great power. Such talent would astonish any great power.

”It’s crucial to be cautious; any disturbance at such a time can’t be allowed!” Great Power Ding Feng nodded and said.

The two Sword Cultivation Great Powers flew out of the Seven Immortals Residence, fully prepared against any potential threats.

”I really envy the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion; Yuanba has the potential to ascend to higher realms!” Great Power Ding Feng couldn’t remember how many times he’d expressed envy, but every time he witnessed Li Yuanba’s impressive performance, he couldn’t help but say it.

”He’s already ascending to the late stage; not to mention ascension, further advancement is still highly possible!” Yi Yao Great Power replied with a smile.

”You should advise him; so young, he should accumulate more years, at least a few hundred more before attempting a breakthrough!” Great Power Ding Feng glanced in the direction of the Seven Immortals Residence, softly speaking to Yi Yao Great Power.

This kind of open-hearted conversation only happened because of their great relationship.

”How could I advise him? I never imagined Yuanba’s cultivation would advance so quickly; I thought he would stay at the mid-stage for at least a thousand years!” Yi Yao Great Power shook his head with a wry smile.

The Li Yuanba they mentioned went through the ascension process without any waves; with the experience from Li Shiming’s advancement, this ascension completed on the fifth day of the Seven Immortals Residence’s defense.

Great Power Lin Jing first sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the wooden building, as Li Yuanba, newly ascended, couldn’t fully control his own aura spilling out.

The terrifying aura swept over the Seven Immortals Residence; Great Power Lin Jing’s face tightened, her body swayed a little, almost falling over.

Fortunately, the aura bore no malice and swiftly passed; she felt dizzy for a moment but soon recovered.

Yi Yao Great Power and Great Power Ding Feng returned to the Seven Immortals Residence, feeling the aura of a late-stage great power from outside, knowing Li Yuanba had successfully ascended to the late-stage great power.

”Are you hurt?” Yi Yao Great Power helped Great Power Lin Jing, softly asking.

”No, it was just a bit of aura unintentionally leaked by Yuanba, and I couldn’t resist it even for a moment; the late-stage great power is too terrifying!” Great Power Lin Jing exclaimed.

”This is a late-stage great power. Whether on our side or the Divine Domain, this realm is the strongest in battle!” Yi Yao Great Power looked at the wooden building, speaking with admiration.

The late-stage great power is the dream of all human great powers in the Land of Fallen Immortals, but very few truly reach this realm.

Every late-stage great power is the backbone of human cultivators, the foundation of resistance against the Divine Domain.

In the conflict between the Immortal Domain and the Divine Domain, the late fifth-grade and late-stage great powers are the strongest forces; no stronger combat power can be dispatched.

There’s a certain tacit agreement between the Immortal Domain and the Divine Domain, as a conflict involving stronger powers might bring consequences neither side wishes to see.

At this time, Li Yuanba’s power stabilized, and without much contemplation of the late-stage great power’s strength, he flew out of the wooden building.

He didn’t need to familiarize himself with the late-stage great power’s strength; the relevant sensations could be shared from Li Shiming.
