Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 2119 - 1106: Observation

Within Great Immortal Envoy Feng Kui’s soul crystal ring, there were also his usual recorded cultivation insights; as for the other Spiritual Objects, Li Shiming did not pay them much mind.

Inside the soul crystal ring, the Spiritual Objects were mainly Fifth Grade Life Items.

This was easy enough to understand: a Great Immortal Envoy had no further need for Fifth Grade Spiritual Treasures; as for fifth-grade materials, if a Great Immortal Envoy wanted them to be more suitable, it was better to refine them into life-type Spiritual Objects.

Just like a full set of teapots: a complete fifth-grade set of teapots could not only enhance the quality of Spiritual Tea, but also display the status and standing of a Great Immortal Envoy.

Li Shiming himself did not care much, but fifth-grade life Spiritual Objects could be of some help to Yin Shilan.

Right now Yin Shilan’s realm was hard to advance; these fifth-grade Spiritual Objects that merged into daily life could continuously and steadily benefit her.

He also transferred the dozens of Fifth Grade Immortal Fires he had rescued from Great Immortal Envoy Feng Kui’s Grotto Heaven into his own Grotto Heaven, waiting for Yin Shilan to come when she had time and choose the Fifth Grade Immortal Fire suitable for herself to refine.

The dozens of Fifth Grade Immortal Fires obtained from Great Immortal Envoy Feng Kui’s Grotto Heaven this time had in fact already been merged into the ”Chaotic Immortal Fire” by him.

But if he wanted to separate Fifth Grade Immortal Fires out from the ”Chaotic Immortal Fire”, it would require consuming a vast amount of energy, and what he was most lacking at present was energy.

If he had not unexpectedly obtained the true fire seedlings of these dozens of Fifth Grade Immortal Fires, Yin Shilan would have had to wait many more years if she wanted to refine a Fifth Grade Immortal Fire.

The Immortal Alliance had only just stabilized not long ago, when Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin set the date for his own ascension.

For the sake of the Immortal Alliance, he had wasted far too much time.

For some unknown reason, Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin not only invited Li Shiming, but at the same time also invited Li Taibai.

Li Taibai rarely interacted with other Great Powers; there were not many Great Powers who truly understood him.

Yet his renown was not low: back when the Seven Immortals Residence was attacked, Li Taibai had, relying on his own strength alone, defeated the invading Late Stage Fifth Grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers” and saved the Seven Immortals Residence.

Most crucially, according to intelligence from the Immortal Alliance, Li Taibai had come together with Li Yuanba and Li Shiming; the three were on friendly terms.

Given the current status and standing of Li Shiming and Li Yuanba, even just out of respect for these two Great Immortal Envoys, inviting Li Taibai to observe Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin’s ascension was only proper.

Li Shiming only hesitated slightly, then agreed to go together with Li Taibai to observe.

As for Li Taibai’s promotion to Great Immortal Envoy, that was no longer something that needed to be kept secret from the Immortal Alliance.

Of course, the Immortal Alliance had likewise not spread word of Li Shiming’s promotion to Great Immortal Envoy; aside from the Immortal Alliance’s internal members knowing of this matter, not many Cultivators in other regions of the Immortal Domain were aware of it.

Even if the Immortal Alliance did not spread it, after some time this matter would still become known to other Cultivators; it would just take rather longer.

There was no way Li Shiming would never interact with any Cultivators; as long as he interacted with others, news of his promotion to Great Immortal Envoy would inevitably spread.

Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin’s ascension was a major event for the Immortal Alliance.

But an ascension could not be overly disturbed, so the number of Cultivators allowed to observe the ascension would not be large.

Those qualified to observe Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin’s ascension needed at least Late Stage Great Power strength; weaker Cultivators would be unable to gain any insights from watching the ascension process, and might even be affected by the aura of a Great Immortal Envoy’s ascension.

On this day, Li Yuanba, Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu, and the two Great Immortal Envoys of the western and northern branches stood beside a Floating Mountain; the four Great Immortal Envoys were the closest to the summit of the Floating Mountain.

Behind them, nearly twenty Late Stage Great Powers were arranged at relatively distant positions.

The order of their placement also had its rules: the strongest among the Late Stage Great Powers stood in front, and the weaker the Late Stage Great Power, the farther back they were placed.

None of the Great Powers spoke; even the four Great Immortal Envoys had arrived early to this place.

This time, among the observers whom the Immortal Alliance deemed worthy to invite from outside its core membership, there were only two, namely Li Shiming and Li Taibai.

”Why hasn’t Li Taibai arrived yet?” Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu looked toward Li Yuanba and asked softly.

It did not matter if Li Shiming came a little later—after all, Li Shiming was a Great Immortal Envoy. Although they had all already been waiting here, there was still some time before the appointed hour; Li Shiming was not actually late.

But someone like Li Taibai should arrive early on such an occasion; this was a sign of respect toward a Great Immortal Envoy, and also a kind of unwritten rule.

”They’re here!” Li Yuanba answered with a smile.

Just as he spoke, two figures appeared by his side.

The newcomers were Li Shiming and Li Taibai. Because of IBMz15, IBMz15 had calculated the time needed to come here, so he arrived precisely on the dot.

Originally, the other Great Immortal Envoys had been somewhat displeased with Li Taibai, but upon seeing Li Taibai, they were all stunned.

”Li Taibai has ascended!” Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu said, somewhat in disbelief.

Even he felt that this world had become far too crazy. His own promotion to Great Immortal Envoy had come from thousands of years of accumulation; and even so, if not for Li Yuanba’s Fifth Grade Inquiry Tea, he would still be unable to advance to Great Immortal Envoy now.

Yet look at the three before him—Li Shiming, Li Yuanba, and Li Taibai—each had, in a short span of time, ascended to Great Immortal Envoy one after another.

And behind the Great Immortal Envoys, the Late Stage Great Powers all had eyes shining.

They recalled what Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu had said previously: it was Li Yuanba’s Spiritual Objects that had aided Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu, granting him the opportunity to ascend.
