Chapter 1925: Chapter 1009: Pursuit
Li Shiming had no idea he was being tracked, which highlights the terrifying aspect of the âSoul Chasing Guideâ.
With the strength of his soul, if it were any other tracking method, he would definitely sense it.
But the âSoul Chasing Guideâ found his location without alerting his soul; at least his soul did not perceive being tracked.
He was returning from the outside world to the Grotto Heaven, and happened to see Yin Shilan finishing her meditation.
"Lanâer, come have a cup of Spiritual Tea!" Li Shiming called out to Yin Shilan.
He poured a cup of Fourth Grade âInquiry Teaâ for himself and Yin Shilan. In the past, he would limit his intake of âInquiry Teaâ.
The main reason was that âInquiry Teaâ only produced one portion a year. Even though a long time had passed, he had accumulated some âInquiry Teaâ, but it was still far from excessive consumption.
However, upon arriving at the Cloud Island Sea and entering the Divine Palace, over ninety trees of Fourth Grade Inquiry Tea Trees were added to the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, allowing him to harvest over thirty portions of Fourth Grade Inquiry Tea each year.
Only then did he not need to be frugal. Though not to the point of having a cup a day, having a cup every once in a while was no problem.
If other cultivators in the Cultivation World knew his thoughts, they would definitely go crazy.
Called the top-tier Spiritual Tea in the Cultivation World, the Fourth Grade Inquiry Tea was legendary, unseen but renowned in the Cultivation World.
This quality of Spiritual Tea was many times more precious than high-level spirit pills for Great Cultivators.
"Shiming, I feel that in another hundred years, I can attempt to break through to the Half-step Great Power Realm!" Yin Shilan sipped the Spiritual Tea, feeling its effect, clearing her mind, and she said gleefully.
"In a hundred years, I should be able to ascend to Great Power, and by then, I can serve as your protector!" Li Shiming thought for a moment and said.
"Are you confident?" Yin Shilan did not doubt Li Shimingâs talent, but she knew that advancing to Great Power was a hundred times harder than advancing to Half-step Great Power. She asked with concern.
The entire Cultivation World knew best about Li Shimingâs talent, but probably no one knew better than her.
Not to mention other things, consider how Li Shiming could forcefully elevate her, an average-talented cultivator, to the Peak Great Cultivator Realm in a short time.
Moreover, in these years, under Li Shimingâs guidance regarding the understanding of rules, she touched the edge of Half-step Great Power.
Yin Shilan knew herself; she had stagnated for a century at the late-stage Golden Core, which was the most precious century.
Originally, her talent was still okay, but this centuryâs stagnation had greatly impacted her talent.
But now, she stood in a position she once had to look up toâall because of Li Shimingâs ability.
Yin Shilan had unconditional trust in Li Shiming; how he said it, she believed it.
"Donât worry, I will help you ascend to Great Power!" Li Shimingâs answer exuded strong confidence.
He had no doubts about his ascension to Great Power and believed he could lead Yin Shilan to ascend to Great Power as well.
After a brief rest, Yin Shilan continued studying rule knowledge, while Li Shiming used the âInnate Woodâ Divine Skill to maximize the state of the âEternal Water Bearâ.
After preparing these, Li Shiming perceived the situation of the âDaoist Golden Lotusâ. The âDaoist Golden Lotusâ had moved twenty thousand leagues away from where the last Heavenly Thunder struck.
He flashed out of the Grotto Heaven, and as soon as he appeared outside, the âSoul Chasing Guideâ in Wudaâs Avatarâs hand moved slightly.
Wudaâs Avatar sensed it too, as Li Shimingâs aura, due to facing Heavenly Thunder, was completely unhidden, allowing her to discover Li Shiming from a great distance.
Li Shiming was struck by Heavenly Thunder, and while he was comprehending Thunder Rules, a sudden disturbance jolted his heart.
He instantly awoke from his meditation, activating the âDivine Eyeâ and extending his perception to the fullest.
At that moment, Wudaâs Avatar appeared not far from him.
Wudaâs Avatar stood in the void, looking at Li Shiming.
She was somewhat surprised at Li Shimingâs realm; he was once just a Great Cultivator, but now heâd become a Half-step Great Power.
What puzzled her more was that this Half-step Great Power, Li Shiming, dared to appear outside.
For a moment, she didnât immediately step forward to capture Li Shiming, as she too feared the Heavenly Thunder above Li Shimingâs head.
The power of Heavenly Thunder was at the extreme of the Half-step Great Power Level, a power that, for Wudaâs true body, wouldnât be of much concern if properly defended.
But the defensive power of the Great Power Avatar was the weakest, as it had no physical form and the body was a fusion of energy and soul, making it highly susceptible to attacks like the Supreme Yang of the Heavenly Thunder.
Li Shiming recognized Great Power Wuda without any hesitation; his figure moved close to Wudaâs Avatar.
As he appeared beside Wudaâs Avatar, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly changed, the terrifying majesty of the heavens suppressing both his and Wudaâs Avatarâs spirit.
"Damn it, are you crazy?" Wudaâs Avatar turned around and attempted space movement to leave.
The thunderclouds in the sky were no longer at the Half-step Great Power Level, but had transformed into a true Great Power Level Heavenly Tribulation.
Li Shiming was also distressed; he hadnât anticipated his action would trigger such a change.
In fact, low-level cultivatorsâ tribulation processes must not involve high-level cultivators, as their involvement transforms the tribulation from one matching the low-level cultivator to one matching the high-level cultivator.
