Chapter 1313: Chapter 703: The Situation

Li Shiming used his Divine Sense to observe the clay tablet with rule markings, feeling his own ignorance. Even though he knew the clay tablet before him was some kind of treasure, he still couldn’t discern its special features.

He thought for a moment, then took out the ’Breathing Soil’ to see if there was any interaction between the ’Breathing Soil’ and the rule-imbued clay tablet.

After a long while, he shook his head; when the ’Breathing Soil’ approached the clay tablet, neither showed any change.

"Related to the Rule!" he muttered to himself. Although he did not know the true purpose of the rule-imbued clay tablet, his years of research and experiments led him to tackle unsolved issues through experimentation in search of answers.

He thought of another rule-related item, flashed out of the cave heaven, and re-entered the cave heaven.

Only this time, the cave heaven he entered wasn’t Great Power Zhai Ge’s domain but the Half-Life Cave Heaven.

The Half-Life Cave Heaven could be said to be the domain he truly mastered, even more intimately connected than the cave heaven of Great Power Zhai Ge.

As soon as he entered the Half-Life Cave Heaven, both the rule-imbued clay tablet and ’Breathing Soil’ in his hands reacted simultaneously.

A peculiar rule marking appeared on the surface of the rule-imbued clay tablet, resonating with the Earth Rules of the Half-Life Cave Heaven.

The reason Li Shiming recognized it as the Earth Rules is because, as the master of the Half-Life Cave Heaven, he could sense everything within it.

He also understood that the rule marking on the clay tablet was associated with some Earth Rule; however, there were many Earth Rules, and he did not know exactly which it was.

It was quite unfortunate that although the rule-imbued clay tablet reacted, it did not significantly aid his understanding of the tablet’s purpose, let alone its application.

Despite having a Forbidden Spirit Talisman affixed to it, the ’Breathing Soil’ in his hand was eager to contact the soil here.

Previously, the ’Breathing Soil’ showed no such reaction, not even when he took it out in Great Power Zhai Ge’s cave heaven.

He thought for a while and casually removed the Forbidden Spirit Talisman from the ’Breathing Soil,’ placing it on the ground.

He wasn’t worried about losing the ’Breathing Soil’ at all; this cave heaven was quite small, with a total space radius of only a hundred meters.

And in this Half-Life Cave Heaven, he had absolute control. No matter where the ’Breathing Soil’ went, he could easily find it.

Upon contact with the ground, the ’Breathing Soil’ immediately merged into the earth, transforming the entire surface into soil brimming with spiritual essence.

Previously, although the soil in the Half-Life Cave Heaven contained Spiritual Energy, it lacked any spirituality, making it impossible to cultivate any Spirit Plant.

But now it’s different. As a somewhat skilled Spirit Plant Master, he could sense that the soil of the Half-Life Cave Heaven had transformed into spirit soil of a higher grade than the Fourth Grade Spiritual Plant.

He could plant any grade of Fourth Grade Spiritual Plant in the Half-Life Cave Heaven, and it would slowly transform into a cave heaven teeming with life.

It’s a pity that the half-step Mahayana cultivator Qiu Hengyi, if he had obtained the ’Breathing Soil,’ might have reaped considerable benefits from the cave heaven’s changes by now.

Li Shiming sensed again; the ’Breathing Soil’ had not disappeared, and whenever he wished, he could retrieve the ’Breathing Soil’ from the soil.

However, after retrieving the ’Breathing Soil,’ the Half-Life Cave Heaven would revert to its previous state, though some hidden benefits would remain within the cave heaven.

The ’Breathing Soil’ favored this Half-Life Cave Heaven; in an environment where the rules are incomplete, the ’Breathing Soil,’ at its level, could absorb more energy and grow faster.

Even though Li Shiming didn’t have any contractual relationship with the ’Breathing Soil,’ he could still sense its emotions through his control over the Half-Life Cave Heaven.

Within the Half-Life Cave Heaven, he could be said to exist like a deity.

If he truly mastered the rules, he would be the creator of the Half-Life Cave Heaven.

He quietly sensed for a moment, always feeling that the Earth Rules within the Half-Life Cave Heaven were strengthening.

Only in the Half-Life Cave Heaven could he perceive the Rule Power so clearly. In the outside world, his perception of the rules wasn’t so clear, always feeling as though obscured by something, unable to see the rules clearly.

This is also normal; Nascent Soul Cultivators who can truly touch upon the rules require reaching the level of a Great Cultivator to achieve that.

Li Shiming left the ’Breathing Soil’ in the Half-Life Cave Heaven, then exited the Half-Life Cave Heaven and returned to the cave heaven of Great Power Zhai Ge.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei was residing in the temporary cave abode on the island, waiting for an opportunity.

In the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, all missions related to the White Emperor Sect vanished. After all, the White Emperor Sect had retreated from the Central State Continent, and there was no way to chase them to the West Yan Continent to attack their cultivators.

The Sword Cultivators of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion were dissatisfied because the White Emperor Sect wasn’t driven away by them but by the mad actions of an Independent Cultivator and Great Cultivator.

Indeed, even the Sword Cultivators of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion thought that Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s actions were extremely reckless. The idea of a Great Cultivator confronting a superpower was utterly unbelievable.

But it happened, and Great Cultivator Luo Pei successfully made the White Emperor Sect back down.

However, every cultivator knew that the White Emperor Sect would never let Great Cultivator Luo Pei off the hook. If Great Cultivator Luo Pei continued to live freely, the White Emperor Sect would indeed lose a significant amount of face.
