He hasnât gone crazy. Instead of spending a few years here to clear a battlefieldâs ruins, he might as well cultivate the âHeavenly Human Techniqueâ to enhance his own strength.
However, another method intrigued him greatly, which was utilizing the effect of the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill.
Although âSanmei Divine Windâ isnât specifically for energy cleansing, removing all energies within its range is just an insignificant ability it possesses.
But here, the âSanmei Divine Windâ could achieve the best effect.
Of course, compared to eliminating surface residual energy, clearing the residual energy that has seeped into the subsurface using the âSanmei Divine Windâ is the most troublesome.
However, as long as he mobilizes 191 brains, with the help of IBMz15, and uses the âSanmei Divine Windâ to sweep back and forth at the polluted depths beneath the surface a few times, he can clean up the subsurface pollution.
The greatest difficulty is operating the âSanmei Divine Windâ to penetrate the surface without causing secondary pollution.
In terms of precision, Li Shiming claims second; even the most capable wouldnât dare claim first.
Having devised a plan, Li Shimingâs mind stirred, and with his body as the center, a radius of fifty meters was enveloped by the âSanmei Divine Sandâ of the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill.
The residual energy in the air was easily cleared by the âSanmei Divine Sandâ, which also seeped underground, moving back and forth under his control.
After retrieving the âSanmei Divine Windâ, he checked the fifty-meter radius area and found the pollution had disappeared.
However, clearing just this area was useless, as the residual thunder energy from the nearby area soon drifted over, contaminating the cleansed zone.
"What divine skill is this? It can actually clear the residual battlefield energy?" Grandmaster Huâs eyes lit up as he sensed the cleansed area and marvelled while asking.
One couldnât blame Grandmaster Hu for his limited experience. âSanmei Divine Windâ is an extremely rare Gold Element Divine Power, and even within the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, few sword cultivators can master this skill.
The Dongqi Continent has little contact with the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and naturally knows little about the âSanmei Divine Windâ.
"This is a fortune I acquired, mastering a Gold Element Divine Power!" Li Shiming vaguely replied.
The origin of the âSanmei Divine Windâ is not easy to explain clearly, as it is a legacy divine skill of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.
Upon hearing his response, Grandmaster Hu immediately understood that the origin of this divine skill might be problematic, possibly involving powerful forces.
"I will have the cultivators in the grotto not come out, and also temporarily stop other cultivators from entering the formation!" Grandmaster Hu said solemnly.
Due to the influence of the formation, no cultivator could observe Li Shimingâs process of deploying the âSanmei Divine Windâ.
He fully unleashed the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill, taking one day to cleanse the entire Taichu Sectâs mountain gate completely.
Amusingly, the Taichu Sectâs mountain gate was destroyed to this extent, all due to just three rounds of thunder attacks, but cleaning up the residual battle energy, even though he found the right method and used the âSanmei Divine Windâ, still took him a day.
If other great cultivators were to clear it, not to mention whether they could do it this cleanly, it would take years or even decades.
"Great, although weâve lost the spirit soil here, with the spiritual veins, cultivating a large area of high-quality spirit fields is entirely possible!" Grandmaster Hu, who had been watching from the side, exclaimed excitedly once the last piece of land was cleared.
Although only the spiritual veins remained of the Taichu Sectâs mountain gate, with everything else destroyed, the spiritual veins are the essential foundation.
Any sect, when constructing a mountain gate, first considers the spiritual veins. Without spiritual veins, all other plans are for naught.
No matter how strong, a formation requires energy supply.
Those temporary formations can still operate by absorbing Spiritual Energy from the void and using some spirit stones and spiritual objects.
But a sect formation is completely different, requiring much more energy. Relying on spirit stones and spiritual objects for this energy is not sustainable long-term.
Fixed formations are always designed around the spiritual veins to solve the energy problem.
By this time, the second batch of Ten Thousand Beast Sect cultivators guarded the outside, with the Array Master the first to enter.
Li Shiming withdrew his 108 Buddha Beads, allowing the Array Master to redeploy the formation.
The formation here doesnât need to match the Ten Thousand Beast Sectâs grand array. Just setting up a framework to isolate the outside world is sufficient.
The formation can be gradually enhanced in the future, in step with the areaâs development.
"Shizhen, letâs go. Weâll check the grotto. The reception of the grotto was very smooth!" Grandmaster Hu, having received good news, smiled as he spoke to Li Shiming.
Li Shiming entered the grotto with him through the spatial gate, finding it to be a well-structured grotto with a relatively complete rules system.
However, such a grotto lacks specialization in a particular rule, unlike the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilionâs Sword Cave Heaven, where the strongest rule is Gold Rules, allowing sword cultivators cultivating within to absorb purer Gold Element Spirit Qi, free from conversion.
The Taichu Cave Heaven, with its complete rule system, is more suitable for planting and cultivation.
In fact, this was how the Taichu Sect had operated before, with spirit fields everywhere in the grotto.
Even though Grandmaster Hu had received intelligence about the Taichu Cave Heaven beforehand, he couldnât help but grin from ear to ear when he saw the expansive spirit fields and the numerous precious spirit plants growing within.
"Whatâs the situation? Have you encountered any resistance?" When they reached the core area, Grandmaster Hu asked a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner.
"We encountered no resistance. There are no combat cultivators left in the grotto, mostly auxiliary cultivators. According to the remaining cultivators, all combat cultivators were deployed for battle.
Currently, apart from the Spirit Plant Masters, all auxiliary cultivators are detained. Those Spirit Plant Masters willing to sign a contract to join the Ten Thousand Beast Sect are already busy in the spirit fields.
The Cave Heaven Core is here. We donât know how to handle it, just waiting for Master Uncle to arrive!" The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner reported the situation.
His excitement was evident, showing that the Ten Thousand Beast Sectâs occupation of the Taichu Sectâs cave heaven had greatly motivated the cultivators.
"Shizhen, you are to acknowledge the Cave Heaven Core as the master, and from now on, you are its owner!" Grandmaster Hu said to Li Shiming with a smile.
Becoming the master of a Cave Heaven Core grants access to its permissions, most crucially the ability to channel Cave Heaven Spirit Qi to create a top-tier cultivation place.
In most large sects, the cave heavensâ spirit qi is shared among the sectâs great cultivators.
But this time, itâs different. The Taichu Cave Heaven was entirely conquered by Li Shiming alone. That Li Shiming offered it to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was already a relinquishment of substantial benefits.
The sect cannot fail to give something in return. Allowing Li Shiming to claim mastery of the Cave Heaven Core means the sectâs great cultivators will not take a share of the benefits.
Most of the cave heavenâs output belongs to the sect, with a small portion exclusively for Li Shiming.
"Master, youâd better become the master. Iâll still be traveling for a while and wonât stay long on the Dongqi Continent!" Li Shiming hesitated a moment before declining.
"No matter where you are, this Cave Heaven is yours. Itâs the sectâs decision!" Grandmaster Hu replied, waving his hand.
Although Li Shiming is his disciple, with Li Shimingâs strength, the few great cultivators deeply understand that the Dongqi Continentâs stage is too small for a top genius like Li Shiming.
The Ten Thousand Beast Sect and Li Shiming need a bond, with Grandmaster Hu as the link, but when Grandmaster Huâs lifespan ends, that link would break.
So they thought of forming another bond through interests, which was the Taichu Cave Heaven. No matter where Li Shiming is, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect will always have a Cave Heaven that belongs to him.
