Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 2086: Chapter 1089: Departure (Part 2)

Not to mention the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ within the fifth-grade spirit treasure flying sword, the value of this fifth-grade spirit treasure flying sword itself is already extremely high.

”Take it, I hope to see you among the late-stage Sword Cultivators!” Li Yuanba said with a smile.

”Then I’ll accept it. This flying sword doesn’t solely belong to me; it will later be passed on to the new Sword Cultivation Great Power in Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!” Yi Yao Great Power nodded heavily and said.

Even though Great Power Ding Feng was envious, he didn’t say anything.

Li Yuanba allowed him the opportunity to observe the Sword Intent in person, which was already a great favor.

The fifth-grade spirit treasure flying sword that Li Yuanba handed over to Yi Yao Great Power contained the Sword Intent of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, which he was not qualified to comprehend.

”I still need to enter closed-door training for a period to stabilize my realm. We can discuss any questions after I emerge!” Li Yuanba said with a smile.

He had just broken through when he came out, so the three Great Powers naturally wouldn’t pester him further.

He returned to his wooden building and began closed-door training to consolidate his realm.

Not far from the Seven Immortals Residence, Sword Servant, Thunder Servant, and Bow Servant stood by Li Taibai’s side.

Li Taibai was the last to advance to the late-stage Great Ability, protected by three ’Flying Night Demons’, his advancement faced no difficulty, completing it in just a few days.

Li Taibai’s advancement to late-stage Great Ability was unbeknownst to any other Great Powers.

He didn’t intend to inform the other Great Powers or notify the Immortal Alliance either.

Ever since the Immortal Alliance’s Immortal Envoy attacked Li Shiming, he lost hope in the Immortal Alliance and no longer trusted it.

The Immortal Alliance serves merely as a place to acquire resources, and he will reduce contacts with the Immortal Alliance in other aspects.

Li Shiming didn’t reach the Central State as expected; he had to stop shortly after leaving the Land of Fallen Immortals.

Perhaps stimulated by his advancement, Yin Shilan felt inspired and proposed her need to advance.

Given Li Shiming’s realm, there was no need to consider whether the environment posed any danger.

His danger level was already at its peak; perhaps only in the Land of Fallen Immortals could there be beings more dangerous than him in the Cultivation World.

”Lan’er, you can advance here!” He landed on a deserted small island and said to Yin Shilan.

With a wave of his hand, the uneven surface of the small island was smoothed out.

Then, above his head appeared the silhouettes of the ’Beidou Formation Map’ and ’Nine Heavens Star Constellation Array Diagram’, using these two treasured formation maps, he set up a grand array conducive to advancement.

Inside the grand array, Yin Shilan felt her mind exceptionally clear, her spirit extremely active.

What she didn’t know was that the grand array also served to dispel external interference, significantly reducing the possibility of being affected by inner demons.

Li Shiming invested more importance in her advancement than his own clones.

His clones could share his insights and experience, and each advancement was assessed by IBMz15, allowing remote influence and control, thus almost no issues would arise.

Whereas Yin Shilan was different; her talent was somewhat lacking, entirely relying on Li Shiming’s assistance to reach her current level.

Every advancement she made held unknown risks, making Li Shiming exceedingly concerned.

Yin Shilan summoned Little Phoenix, focusing solely on her advancement; while she appreciated Li Shiming’s care inwardly, she knew that successfully advancing was the best repayment to him.

Li Shiming sustained the grand array and also summoned the Golden Saint.

Golden Saint appeared outside the Land of Fallen Immortals; shortly after appearing, the world began to repel Golden Saint.

He furrowed his brows slightly, for if that was the case, Golden Saint couldn’t function outside the Land of Fallen Immortals, which was not an ideal situation.

He didn’t let Golden Saint undergo a tribulation; upon sensing the world’s repulsion, he analyzed that this repulsion wasn’t ordinary but a precursor of extermination.

Normal repulsion is a test to the lives within the world’s bounds.

Despite the danger of such tests, surviving heavenly tribulations meant gaining recognition from the world.

However, the world’s reaction to beings like Golden Saint was akin to expelling a virus within a body, intent on thorough eradication.

Li Shiming retracted Golden Saint; since undergoing a tribulation was futile, he wouldn’t let Golden Saint face the world’s wrath.

Golden Saint disappeared, and the world returned to calm.

He calculated that Golden Saint couldn’t appear outside for more than sixty counts; exceeding that time would attract the world’s wrath.

One of his minds constantly monitored Yin Shilan, as her Cave Heaven granted him access, allowing him to perceive everything in her advancement process clearly.

For the next two months, he sat cross-legged on the island.

No spirit beast approached within this period; the aura he emanated signaled extreme danger to spirit beasts.

Even low-level spirit beasts without intelligence instinctively felt fear and steered clear of the area.

Yin Shilan’s advancement took two months; while this may seem long, it depends on whom one compares with.

Compared to Li Yuanba and Li Taibai, indeed, it took quite a while.

However, the reason for their swift advancements was partly due to Li Shiming’s advancement experience.

The time they spent on evolving the Cave Heaven Core Rules was minimal while Yin Shilan’s core runes required longer evolution, with no other experience to draw from.

Yin Shilan’s aura transformed, but under the envelope of Li Shiming’s aura, such changes were negligible.

”Shiming, I’ve successfully advanced to the middle stage of Great Ability!” Yin Shilan’s first action upon opening her eyes was to speak excitedly to Li Shiming.

She knew very well that even without her saying, Li Shiming would know, but the joy needed sharing, and Li Shiming was her only choice for sharing.

”Lan’er, congratulations!” Li Shiming smiled and congratulated her.

”I can accompany you for a much longer time now!” Yin Shilan said softly.

Hearing her words, Li Shiming couldn’t help but gently embrace her.

Yin Shilan’s cultivation goal was companionship; this was her motivation to cultivate, a sentiment Li Shiming could distinctly feel.

”We will be together forever, no one shall ever separate us, neither the heavens nor the earth!” Li Shiming assured solemnly.

After a long embrace, they sat on the back of the Golden Winged Dapeng, which resumed its flight.

Several days later, Li Shiming felt the familiar aura emanating from the Central State.

He flew directly towards the Dongqi Continent to first visit the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Ten Thousand Beast Sect hadn’t experienced any major incidents, he was aware of this.

If any major issues occurred, the corpse refining he left behind would be activated, allowing him to sense remotely.

Throughout these years, Ten Thousand Beast Sect only mobilized late-stage Golden Corpses a few times, never utilizing half-step fifth-grade corpse refining, suggesting that no significant trouble befell them.

Li Shiming extracted the Identity Jade Disc belonging to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect; he entered a message into the Identity Jade Disc to send to Grandmaster Hu.

”I’m back!” Upon seeing the message on the Identity Jade Disc, Grandmaster Hu stood up abruptly as he recognized the sender.

Grandmaster Hu’s face lit up with a smile, not expecting he would meet Li Shiming again.

Although he had consumed a Life Span Pill, his life span was limited to just a few hundred years.

A Free Great Power departing usually meant not returning for a millennium.

The cultivation of a Great Power demands a tremendous amount of time; a hundred years is merely brief in their perspective.

Grandmaster Hu’s life span couldn’t withstand a thousand years, leading to his assumption that their previous farewell was their last.

Yet, he then furrowed his brows, concerned for Li Shiming.

Such a quick return; perhaps Li Shiming encountered some major trouble.

He knew well his disciple’s propensity for trouble, having provoked enemies during the Nascent Soul Stage with beings several ranks stronger and becoming mortal foes with several superpowers.

If Li Shiming was indeed being pursued, had he been injured?

As Li Shiming’s master, even with far lesser cultivation, he still harbored significant concern.
