Chapter 835: Chapter 464: Secret Technique
âReach Profound Kun Earth Immortal Dewâ released Spiritual Power Pattern, âFive Rhymes Qi Cultivation Techniqueâ converted this spiritual power into Five Elements spiritual power, respectively flowing into Li Shimingâs five Golden Cores.
When the spiritual power entered the Golden Core, he realized that previously he thought âReach Profound Kun Earth Immortal Dewâ flowed like a Spiritual Spring with spiritual power, but it wasnât much.
However, this was spiritual power transformed from a Fourth Grade Spirit Item, and for him at the Golden Core Stage, one portion of spiritual power almost equaled dozens of his own.
He seemed to return to the time during the Foundation Establishment Stage when his cultivation frenziedly improved, with the spiritual power inside the Golden Core increasing constantly at an incredibly fast rate.
Unconsciously, one cycle of âFive Rhymes Qi Cultivation Techniqueâ ended, and he discovered that this cycle of cultivation was equivalent to dozens of previous cycles.
Meanwhile, the Spiritual Spring formed by âReach Profound Kun Earth Immortal Dewâ within his body still hadnât dissipated, continually spouting an endless stream of spiritual power.
He quickly continued cultivating âFive Rhymes Qi Cultivation Techniqueâ, this spiritual power spouted by âReach Profound Kun Earth Immortal Dewâ couldnât be wasted.
Thus, he repeated the cultivation over and over, meditating for twelve two-hour shifts every day without interruption, continuously for twenty days before the Spiritual Spring formed by âReach Profound Kun Earth Immortal Dewâ within him finally dissipated.
Li Shimingâs cultivation level, after these twenty days, has greatly improved, nearly equivalent to years of cultivation gains.
And the effect came even though he was in complete seclusion, just like this time, cultivating twelve two-hour shifts every day without rest.
He sensed the condition of his body and found that only a dayâs rest would allow him to continue consuming âReach Profound Kun Earth Immortal Dewâ and cultivating.
This is because of his extremely strong physique, which is thanks to having cultivated âTaiqing Xuan Turtle Techniqueâ to the Great Elder level, making his physique far superior to normal Golden Core cultivators.
Even outside in the continent, genius cultivators cannot have their sect prepare Fourth Grade resources for Body Refinement and Qi Refinement, allowing them to achieve simultaneous growth in Body Refinement and Qi Refinement like Li Shiming.
After resting for a day, Li Shiming continued consuming âReach Profound Kun Earth Immortal Dewâ for cultivation.
He had no intention of sharing this âReach Profound Kun Earth Immortal Dewâ with his avatar Li Yuanba, as the main body was the most important.
His cultivation was skyrocketing, improving every day.
The total amount of spiritual power needed for the Late-stage Golden Core is truly enormous, making the time spent cultivating appear not too significant, but he knew clearly that in just a few dozen days, his strength had improved by at least a third.
Time flowed by day by day, and soon a year and a half had passed, Li Shiming thought he would continue cultivating until reaching the Great Elder level before emerging from seclusion.
During this time, his Silver Corpse continuously delivered refined fourth-grade spirit pills punctually, with a plethora of brain power available, though his body needed to maintain cultivation, it didnât affect him directing the Silver Corpse to work and conduct alchemy and other tasks.
With so much time passing, he thought the matter regarding the Grotto Heaven had passed, with no unexpected events occurring.
However, things did not go as he imagined, unexpected events still occurred.
At Mountain Sea Island, the Heavenly Inquiry Sectâs base, Ancestor Luo Wei listened to Ancestor Han Xiaoâs report.
After years of intelligence gathering, notably at great expense, the collected information from the six major sects and Beishu Trading Company stabilized the confirmation that the Grotto Heaven had indeed appeared.
Clearly, the Grotto Heaven didnât fall into Elder Jin Kaiâs hands, nor into those of any Nascent Soul Ancestor from Beishu Continent, but was instead seized by someone else.
The cooperative investigation between the six major sects of Beishu Continent and Skywalk Trading Company, though carried out very secretly, was still infiltrated by the Heavenly Inquiry Sect.
âUncle Master, now we can be certain, the Grotto Heaven has a successor, weâve investigated all Nascent Soul Ancestors, except for those in seclusion, the remaining Nascent Soul Ancestors show no abnormal behavior.
Additionally, given the qualifications of these Nascent Soul Ancestors, itâs impossible for them to pass the Grotto Heavenâs test which even Elder Jin Kai couldnât pass, if there are no outside Nascent Soul Ancestors in Beishu Continent, I believe it should be a Golden Core cultivator of exceptional talent who passed the test and gained the inheritance rights of the Grotto Heaven!â Ancestor Han Xiao said in a deep voice.
His investigative work was exceptionally difficult, luckily the sect cultivated a batch of excellent intelligence personnel, making significant progress over the years.
This allowed him to make such an analysis, which is almost very close to the truth.
âGolden Core cultivators of exceptional talent, Beishu Continent combined with Skywalk Trading Company, there arenât many, are there?â Ancestor Luo Wei said casually.
âIndeed, initially Skywalk Trading Company had three top Great Elders arrive, one was confirmed killed, the other two disappeared, perhaps itâs one of those two!â Ancestor Han Xiao nodded and said.
âNo, we must also consider Li Yuanba and the Alchemy Master Li Shiming of Beishu Continent, they advanced to the Late-stage Golden Core at fifty years old, here in the resource-poor Beishu Continent, let alone Li Yuanba who even slew a Sword Cultivation Great Elder from Skywalk Trading Company, donât underestimate the talent of these two Golden Core cultivators!â Ancestor Luo Wei shook his head and added.
âUncle Master, itâs difficult for us to investigate further, the two missing Great Elders from Skywalk Trading Company, Beishu Continent and Skywalk Trading Company have been pursuing them for a long time with no results, Li Yuanba has long been in seclusion avoiding outsiders, and meeting Li Shiming is even harder, without the nod from the two Nascent Soul Ancestors from Shushan Sect, outsiders cannot approach Li Shimingâs residence.â Ancestor Han Xiao said helplessly.
