Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 2087: Chapter 1090: Extraction

Grandmaster Hu exited the cave dwelling, and as he soared into the sky, the immense silhouette of the Golden Winged Dapeng appeared before him.

The Sect Protection Array of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect had no effect whatsoever, for this was not a function of the Identity Jade Disc, but rather the Golden Winged Dapeng simply ignored the array.

Grandmaster Hu was not greatly surprised, as he looked at the two figures on the back of the Golden Winged Dapeng.

”Welcome home!” he said with a smile as he saw Li Shiming and Yin Shilan disembark hand in hand from the Golden Winged Dapeng.

”Master!” Li Shiming respectfully bowed, and beside him, Yin Shilan also bent in salute.

No matter how much his strength improved, in front of his master, Grandmaster Hu, he was still a disciple of Grandmaster Hu.

”Why have you returned so quickly? Did something happen?” Grandmaster Hu helped Li Shiming to his feet and indicated Yin Shilan to stand up straight before asking with concern.

By this point, he had no real worries, seeing Li Shiming and Yin Shilan return together without signs of any major troubles.

As for sensing Li Shiming’s realm, since Li Shiming left Central State, he could no longer discern Li Shiming’s power.

”I came back because I have some matters to take care of. The smooth progression of my cultivation allowed me to return earlier than expected. Has there been anything significant happening in the sect?” Li Shiming asked with a smile, explaining.

”Your renown was left overwhelmingly strong; although some superpowers have been stirring recently, now that you’ve returned, they dare not act recklessly!” Grandmaster Hu replied with a smile.

Back in the day, Li Shiming wreaked such havoc in the Cultivation World; the Da Leiyin Temple and the Yuqing Sect were effectively eradicated, and many of the superpowers had whole generations of Great Cultivators wiped out.

This allowed the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to not have any Great Power stationed and yet left no influence daring to provoke them for two to three hundred years.

”In my name, invite all the Great Powers over as guests so I can catch up with some old friends!” Li Shiming said with a faint smile.

With his strength, he no longer bothered to pick on the younger ones; this time, he wanted to show the superpowers the foundation of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and completely extinguish some superpowers’ schemes.

”Alright, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect hasn’t had any major events since you left!” Grandmaster Hu agreed with a nod and a smile.

”Master, how are Tang Zhe and Hu Sheng doing now?” Li Shiming asked, recalling something.

Tang Zhe was a disciple of Li Taibai, and Hu Sheng was his disciple. Upon returning to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he didn’t sense the presence of these two disciples.

”Tang Zhe is in closed cultivation at the Sun Concealing Sect, and Hu Sheng is in closed cultivation at the Taichu branch. Both have attempted to inherit the Inheritance Cave Heaven within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect but have not succeeded. They are currently testing to inherit those two Inheritance Cave Heavens!” Grandmaster Hu replied, shaking his head.

Li Shiming sighed inwardly; Tang Zhe, being a Thunder Cultivator, had a harder time inheriting the four Inheritance Cave Heavens of the Dongqi Continent.

Yet Hu Sheng, as a true disciple of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, was unable to inherit its Inheritance Cave Heaven, which implied a very low probability of him breaking through to Inheritor Great Ability.

Indeed, cultivating a Great Power is extremely difficult; Li Shiming had invested considerable resources into these two disciples, yet they were both close to failure.

Li Shiming didn’t consider making any changes further; he had given enough, and if the disciples had no opportunities, he wouldn’t force it.

”The sect’s inheritance needn’t worry, many gifted disciples have been taken in over the years, and with the resources you left behind as well as those obtained after becoming a superpower, the number of Great Cultivators in the sect ranks among the top three among superpowers, having established a generational inheritance system!” Grandmaster Hu said proudly.

Aside from some shortcomings in cultivating Great Power, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was thriving in every other aspect, and in a few hundred more years, it could form a complete system from Nascent Soul Cultivator to Great Cultivator, then to Half-step Great Power, and further to Inheritor Great Ability.

”Thank you, Master, for your hard work. I have found a Life Span Pill that can extend your life by three hundred years!” Li Shiming acknowledged all of Grandmaster Hu’s efforts and took out a Life Span Pill he had brought back from the Land of Fallen Immortals, offering it as he spoke.

The materials for this Life Span Pill were exchanged by Li Yuanba using contribution points, and then refined by him.

This Life Span Pill was already the best of its kind and was his greatest effort.

Unless other divine artifacts could be found to increase lifespan, he was unable to enhance Grandmaster Hu’s lifespan any further.

”I’d like to live a few more years to see the prosperity of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect!” Grandmaster Hu did not stand on ceremony, accepting the Life Span Pill with a smile.

Li Shiming was his disciple, and it was not inappropriate to accept the disciple’s kindness.

The superpowers of the Cultivation World received invitations from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect; initially, the Inheritor Great Ability holders were disinclined to go.

Sending Great Power Avatars requires consuming Cave Heaven Energy, but upon seeing the name of the inviter, they all dispatched their Great Power Avatars to the Dongqi Continent.

It would take several days for the numerous Great Power Avatars to arrive at the Dongqi Continent.

During this time, Li Shiming went to the Lianhua Branch Sect.

The Lianhua Branch Sect used to be Lianhua Temple; the architecture had not changed much, and some of the cultivators there were even Buddhist Practitioners.

The Ten Thousand Beast Sect accommodated both Buddhist Practitioners and Devil Cultivators, and with sect rules in place, there was no worry of them committing any excessive acts.

Li Shiming observed the many buildings of the Lianhua Branch Sect, among which were numerous Buddha Halls, with statues of the Buddha enshrined inside.

The purpose of his visit was these statues, which had been worshipped for unknown years, containing the Power of Faith needed by the Golden Saint within them.
