Chapter 1953: Chapter 1023: Advancement
"Lanâer, the time has come, itâs time to ascend to half-step Great Power!" Li Shiming softly reminded Yin Shilan, who was deeply engrossed in the opportunity for ascension.
Clarity flashed in Yin Shilanâs eyes; she was well prepared for her ascension to half-step Great Power.
She had first obtained the inheritance for ascending to half-step Great Power from Luanyang Palace, along with over a century of teachings from Li Shiming, and ultimately was guided personally by Great Power Meng Jun.
In terms of material preparation, Li Shiming had readied the Heavenly Mechanism Treasure and corresponding Spirit Pills for her.
Li Shiming prepared everything for her, but the rest depended on her own effortsâareas that Li Shiming couldnât assist with.
Yin Shilan absorbed the Spiritual Energy emitted by one hundred and eight Great Cultivator Spirit Veins, while Little Phoenix was summoned, constantly calling atop her head.
She began to operate âPhoenix Dance Nine Heavensâ, linking her aura with Little Phoenixâs.
Li Shiming felt reassured; through âDivine Perception Steleâ, he could observe the minute changes in energy, discovering that there were no issues with Yin Shilanâs ascension process.
This advantage is thanks to the experience of the half-step Great Power inheritance; even the experience of predecessors who practiced the same cultivation technique can serve as lessons for the younger generation, even if they were failures.
Unlike Li Shimingâs ascension process, where there was no reference from predecessorâs experience whatsoever.
If not for the insight gained from the opportunity of âDivine Perception Steleâ, his ascension would not have been so smooth.
Yin Shilanâs ascension process was exceedingly smooth, as she proceeded step by step according to the experience from Luanyang Palace.
Though her talent was lacking, she possessed the most top-grade Spirit Pills; especially after consuming a âHundred Herbs Pillâ, the immense energy meant she didnât need to absorb any other energy. Relying solely on the energy of the âHundred Herbs Pillâ, the energy within her Nascent Soul reached the ultimate peak, eventually entering the phase of constructing the Grotto Heaven.
The artifact she chose for the Cave Heaven Inheritance was the same Spiritual Object as Li Shiming: the âDaoist Golden Lotus.â She was Li Shimingâs Daoist couple, and besides, the âDaoist Golden Lotusâ also offered the highest level of safety.
While she was in the Grotto Heaven, Li Shiming could take her with him.
As Yin Shilanâs figure disappeared into the void, a light spot appeared on the âDaoist Golden Lotusâ, Li Shiming let out a long sigh of relief.
Once Yin Shilan reached this stage, he could start to offer help during her process to control the Grotto Heaven.
Intervening in the Cave Heaven Energy control of other cultivators is not an easy task, even for a typical Great Power.
But Li Shiming had the help of IBMz15, combined with Yin Shilanâs understanding of the rules, which she learned from him.
He didnât physically enter Yin Shilanâs Grotto Heaven; such a newly constructed Grotto Heaven couldnât bear a Great Power like him.
Instead, he decided to send an âEternal Water Bearâ into Yin Shilanâs Grotto Heaven, controlling the âEternal Water Bearâ through a brain, using the perception of the âEternal Water Bearâ to assist Yin Shilan.
He didnât immediately send all two hundred half-step Great Powers into Yin Shilanâs Grotto Heaven; Yin Shilan was not like him. Once the energy exceeded Yin Shilanâs control limits, trouble awaited her.
âEternal Water Bearâ entered Yin Shilanâs Grotto Heaven, and through shared perception, Li Shiming saw the situation inside the Grotto Heaven.
Inside the Grotto Heaven, Little Phoenix shrank down and lay on Yin Shilanâs shoulder, daring not to move as the vulnerable Grotto Heaven could not withstand Little Phoenixâs activity.
After cultivating the âDancing Phoenix Nine Heavens Techniqueâ, the energy she primarily mastered was Fire Energy.
Therefore, the core of her Grotto Heaven was a cluster of flames, and the whole Grotto Heaven was densely filled with Fire Energy.
Surrounded by Fire Energy, Yin Shilan and Little Phoenix felt no discomfort, as here was essentially part of Yin Shilanâs body.
The entry of the âEternal Water Bearâ, albeit cautious, still agitated the Fire Energy within the Grotto Heaven.
Li Shiming hurriedly had IBMz15 analyze this Grotto Heaven and controlled the energy within through âEternal Water Bearâ.
Controlling the Cave Heaven Energy when not its owner is extraordinarily difficult. However, he wasnât forcefully controlling it but rather inducing the energy to mutually restrain, achieving a balanced state even though not being the Grotto Heaven master.
Li Shiming felt slightly proud; with IBMz15âs powerful computation, coupled with prior Grotto Heaven building experience shared with Li Yuanba, he held abundant experience in controlling Grotto Heaven Energy.
He then sent the second âEternal Water Bearâ into the Grotto Heaven, and calmed the energy fluctuations caused by the new âEternal Water Bearâsâ entry.
Yin Shilan utterly trusted Li Shiming, abandoning control of the Grotto Heaven Energy, leaving everything to Li Shiming.
Hardly any half-step Great Power with ambition would allow another cultivator to do this, as it is akin to handing over oneâs life.
Her trust in Li Shiming had been built since their first acquaintance.
With each âEternal Water Bearâ entering the Grotto Heaven, once all one hundred and eight âEternal Water Bearsâ entered the Grotto Heaven, Li Shiming did not continue to send the Holy Spirit into the Grotto Heaven.
It wasnât that he was unwilling, but because Yin Shilanâs Grotto Heaven couldnât withstand it.
This topic correlates with Yin Shilanâs talent; her talent resulted in a relatively weak Grotto Heaven, and this was still the Grotto Heaven she constructed alongside Little Phoenix.
If she were to construct the Grotto Heaven alone, the number of half-step Great Powers it could bear would reduce further.
Time passed day by day, and ten years elapsed in the blink of an eye.
On the side of Eagle Beak Island, Sky Sea Sect cultivators had long noticed an anomaly, yet the formation surrounding Eagle Beak Island prevented them from approaching.
