Li Yuanba entered the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven and came to the Treasure Lotus Hall. The cultivation environment here made him feel that with every breath, the spiritual power within him was slowly enhancing.
If it werenât for the fact that he couldnât leave the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, he would have wanted to stay here and cultivate with his main body.
He took out a pile of boxes containing âHell Disgust Crystal Essence.â Even though each piece of âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ was very small, all the âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ he had obtained this time could still fit into the specially made boxes he brought.
Then he took out the Heavenly Compass, a spiritual treasure he had acknowledged as his master, although there was no difference whether he or his main body, Li Shiming, was the master.
Li Shiming took the Heavenly Compass, and with a flicker of his figure, he left the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven.
The Heavenly Person Cave Heaven was his cultivation abode, a rather mature grotto heaven that he hadnât fully developed, and he didnât want to be affected by radiation.
The machine room space was too small, and as it required artifact refining and alchemy, it did not meet the usage conditions either.
Only the Half-Life Cave Heaven, due to its rules still being in the early stages of establishment, where his control over it was extremely strong, could easily handle the impact of radiation.
He had absolute confidence in this aspect, so he decided to place the Heavenly Compass inside the Half-Life Cave Heaven.
Upon reaching the Half-Life Cave Heaven, he adjusted the environment and opened up a spatial range with a radius of about ten meters.
By controlling the Half-Life Cave Heaven, he isolated this space separately.
Li Shiming placed the Heavenly Compass at the center and then took out all the âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ he had obtained and placed it around the Heavenly Compass.
Feeling the intense radiation scattering in the space, he flickered out of this ten-meter radius isolated space.
Even though a cave heaven space barrier was used to isolate the space, radiation still seeped through the space barrier.
He shook his head, accepting it as an inevitable issue, but luckily, with the presence of the Divine Tree and the Breathing Soil, which could both purify radiation, the seeping radiation was not overly troublesome.
Though he wasnât in that independent space, through the master-slave relationship with the Heavenly Compass, he could still sense the state of the Heavenly Compass.
The half-formed âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ inside the Heavenly Compass was taken out by him and placed aside, while the Heavenly Compass continued to absorb the radioactive energy of the âHell Disgust Crystal Essence.â
At the center of the Heavenly Compass, a point of ultra-high-quality âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ was forming.
Feeling the formation of this point of âHell Disgust Crystal Essence,â Li Shiming revealed a satisfied smile.
As stated in the detailed description of the Heavenly Compass, the âHeavenly Compassâ was crafted to purify radioactive energy.
The unknown great figure, inexplicably, could continuously purify radioactive energy, forming a higher quality âHell Disgust Crystal Essence.â
Although the âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ formed this time still hadnât reached military-grade, it was only the first purification.
As long as all the raw âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ was purified, and through repeated refining, it could eventually reach military-grade purity.
Li Shiming had no worries about the time involved, as his goal in producing military-grade âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ was to create a nuclear weapon.
With the strength of both him and his clone Li Yuanba, even without nuclear weapons, he was considered extremely powerful in the current Cultivation World.
Once he advanced to the Great Cultivator Realm, he would be the strongest existence among Great Cultivators, with few cultivators in the Cultivation World capable of threatening him; in a world where great powers seldom emerge, a top-tier Great Cultivator is akin to the pinnacle of combat strength.
As for nuclear weapons, they stemmed from a racial trait; even though he had entered another world, the firepower inadequacy complex from his past lifeâs race had not diminished but rather intensified.
He examined the Half-Life Cave Heaven again and found that the space for purifying âHell Disgust Crystal Essence,â after running for a period of time, remained very stable.
Especially after he connected his life-bound artifact IBMz15 with the Heavenly Compassâs artifact spirit, allowing IBMz15 to monitor the Heavenly Compassâs operation continuously, ready to alert him in case of any unexpected incidents.
The artifact spirit also followed his orders, knowing how to function; henceforth, further refinement would not require his oversight, unless an issue arose, allowing him to only collect it once military-grade âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ was produced.
He handed over the control rights of the small space within the Half-Life Cave Heaven to the artifact spirit of the âHeavenly Compass,â allowing the artifact spirit to move the âHell Disgust Crystal Essence.â
Once military-grade âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ was generated, the artifact spirit could directly place the military-grade âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ into the prepared special anti-radiation jade box.
Li Shiming first used the spiritual treasure âTraceless Illusion Swordâ to sweep over his body, removing any residual radiation.
Then he returned to the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, where Li Yuanba had stored this haul in the Treasure Pavilion, and some obtained jade scrolls were placed in the Book Collection Pavilion.
"Fellow, Iâm heading back first. I need to go into seclusion for a while," Li Yuanba said with a smile.
"Iâll be awaiting you in the Great Cultivator Realm!" Li Shiming replied with a smile, tossing some jade vials to Li Yuanba.
The two shared a knowing smile, as they were one person with the same confident expression.
What Li Shiming gave to Li Yuanba was a set of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills obtained from the White Emperor Sect, meant for advancing to the Great Cultivator. Li Shiming decided to give this set of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills to Li Yuanba because he felt it unnecessary for himself.
This was not out of arrogance, but because the effects of the âHeavenly Human Techniqueâ he cultivated already provided the same benefits as those Spirit Pills.
Moreover, because the âHeavenly Human Techniqueâsâ effects were long-lasting, the effects during the advancement to the Great Cultivator far exceeded those of the White Emperor Sectâs set of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills.
Li Yuanba stored away the jade bottles and turned to leave the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven.
Li Shiming did regret that Li Yuanba, due to his qualifications, was unable to cultivate the âHeavenly Human Technique.â
If it werenât for his reckless attempts during his Qi Refinement Realm, creating a âFive Elements Qi Absorption Arrayâ within himself, ultimately producing five Golden Cores and five Nascent Souls, he too might not have been able to cultivate the âHeavenly Human Technique.â
Fortunately, the insights gained from the âHeavenly Human Techniqueâ still provided some degree of benefit to the shared experience of Li Yuanba.
Li Shiming returned to the Treasure Lotus Hall, sat cross-legged on the Infinite Jade Mat, and began cultivating the âHeavenly Human Techniqueâ after consuming a Spirit Pill.
Having five Nascent Souls cultivate the âHeavenly Human Techniqueâ together, he could sense his cultivation level rising slowly.
Cultivation is a long process; although in the past, treasures could accelerate this process, reaching the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, especially its later stages, left only self-diligence as the singular path forward.
The environment of the Cultivation World dictates its inability to nurture heavenly objects that could cater to the quick enhancement of oneâs cultivation after reaching the later stages of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
Post-entry to the Great Cultivator Realm, even Great Cultivator Spirit Medicine becomes increasingly scarce, as heaven and earth limit the number of top-rate cultivators.
With Li Shiming resuming his seclusive cultivation, Li Yuanba returned to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and entered the cave mansion within the Sword Cave Heaven to commence a semi-secluded state.
As for Great Venerable Hongfa, there wasnât much need for further attention.
Currently, apart from being a servant to Li Yuanba, Great Venerable Hongfa held a prominent position within the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.
Great Venerable Hongfa was the only person aside from Li Yuanba capable of maintaining the âSpace Acceptance Arrayâ within the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, a responsibility that made the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion regard Great Venerable Hongfa with high importance.
Great Venerable Hongfa had his own cave mansion within the Sword Cave Heaven, yet apart from summoning by Li Yuanba, he preferred to stay within another cave mansion at Sword Peak.
Primarily because the environment of the Sword Cave Heaven was more suited to the cultivation of a Sword Cultivator, he wasnât a metal element cultivator, thus he didnât favor such a setting.
