Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1510: Chapter 801: Codex_2

For this person whose life was nearing its end, he was deeply respectful as he wished to entrust his final days to the Great Cultivator of the Myriad Beast Sect.

He couldn’t provide Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator, with any support for his life span, but offering Fourth Grade Spirit Tea was no problem.

"Thank you!" Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator, opened the jade box, looked at the Fourth Grade Spirit Tea inside, and smiled.

After he put the jade box away, he took out two jade scrolls. These two jade scrolls were dark gold in color and were made from the highest quality jade scrolls.

He cast several spells on the two jade scrolls and also activated the large array of the Library Pavilion.

"The last parts of the core legacy of the Phoenix and Dragon systems are inside these two jade scrolls. Normally, you could only study the Phoenix section, but given the current situation, does it really matter whether it’s Phoenix or Dragon? If the Myriad Beast Sect doesn’t survive, then none of these factions will exist!" Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator, explained while shaking his head.

Li Shiming understood that the spells Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator, had just cast and the activation of the Library Pavilion’s large array were to remove all restrictions on the jade scrolls.

These types of core legacies have critical restrictions, and they do not allow easy viewing.

Back in the day at the Myriad Beast Sect, due to his unique nature, he did not cultivate the Myriad Beast Sect’s techniques. He only learned some knowledge about nurturing Red Gold Phoenixes and Dragon Beasts.

In fact, even the secret technique for nurturing Dragon Beasts, the ’Dragon Dance Over Nine Heavens,’ was war booty he obtained from slaying a core practitioner of the Dragon System. Back then, no cultivator knew about the existence of the Illusion Spirit Dragon.

Now, he finally got to see the core legacies of the Myriad Beast Sect, the ’Heavenly Origin Dragon Scripture’ and the ’Nine-turn Phoenix Scripture,’ both cultivation methods for cultivators to train together with spirit pets.

Of course, the spirit pets recorded in these two techniques possess the bloodline of the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan; other spirit pets cannot be cultivated with these techniques.

This time, Li Shiming spent quite a while watching, even though his life-bound magical item IBMz15 recorded the content of the jade scrolls as soon as his divine sense scanned them.

But he still took a long time to ponder the content of the ’Heavenly Origin Dragon Scripture’ and the ’Nine-turn Phoenix Scripture.’

These two cultivation methods have a certain probability of increasing the chances of a spirit pet’s advancement. During the advancement process, using these techniques can help spirit pets of the Dragon and Phoenix systems overcome the hurdle of internal energy control.

Li Shiming would not cultivate these techniques himself; he valued the insights recorded within the techniques. The ’Heavenly Human Art’s’ ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ has diverse qualities and can replace the spiritual power cultivated by many techniques.

He plans to try whether these two techniques can be used under the ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ when he has time.

The ’Heavenly Origin Dragon Scripture’ and the ’Nine-turn Phoenix Scripture’ are cultivation methods that can reach the Mahayana realm directly. Unfortunately, the later parts of these techniques lack the insights and experiences of Great Cultivators ascending to higher powers.

They only have insights and experiences for transitioning from the Nascent Soul Middle Stage to the Great Cultivator, which are numerous but of limited use to him.

"Although I don’t know what cultivation method you are practicing, the ’Heavenly Origin Dragon Scripture’ and the ’Nine-turn Phoenix Scripture’ are not ordinary texts. These are cultivation methods that can reach the Mahayana realm directly!" Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator, noticed how seriously Li Shiming was studying them and reminded him aloud.

His intent was clear: he wanted to persuade Li Shiming to change his cultivation method, out of genuine concern for Li Shiming’s talent and also with some personal interest.

From what he knew of Li Shiming’s history, Li Shiming had been practicing the method he chose early on, even after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, and he hadn’t changed his cultivation technique.

This information was outdated, as Li Shiming indeed didn’t switch his technique while at the Myriad Beast Sect and continued practicing the ’Five Rhythms Qi Cultivation Technique.’

This was also due to the unique ’Five Elements Qi Absorption Array’ in his body, which prevented him from changing his cultivation technique.

Even after gaining the ’Heavenly Human Art,’ the abnormal preconditions for its cultivation couldn’t be met during his time at the Myriad Beast Sect.

Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator, must have heard about his main cultivation method from his mentor to make such a suggestion.

As for personal interest, if Li Shiming switched to the ’Heavenly Origin Dragon Scripture’ or ’Nine-turn Phoenix Scripture’ and combined them with his Dragon Pet and Phoenix Pet, the cultivation results would be impressive. Even if the Myriad Beast Sect were destroyed, the presence of someone like Li Shiming offers hope for future resurgence.

It wasn’t that not cultivating the ’Heavenly Origin Dragon Scripture’ or the ’Nine-turn Phoenix Scripture’ wouldn’t allow the Myriad Beast Sect to be rebuilt; rather, cultivating these two core techniques would significantly foster cohesion within the sect and ease the absorption of members scattered elsewhere.

"The cultivation method I am currently practicing is of a very high grade!" Li Shiming revealed a trace of the ’Heavenly Human Art’s’ aura and explained vocally.

Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator, sensed the aura of the ’Heavenly Human Art.’ Although he had never heard of it and couldn’t determine what kind of cultivation method it was, just by the breath Li Shiming revealed, he could perceive its extraordinary nature.

This aura contained at least more than five kinds of Rule Power, not to mention the quality of the spiritual power it displayed, which left him greatly shocked.

"It seems you captured the Guangling Great Venerable outside the mountain gate without borrowing the strength of another Great Cultivator. Just your own power can suppress the Guangling Great Venerable!" Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator, was a connoisseur and exclaimed in surprise.

He no longer tried to persuade Li Shiming. Li Shiming’s path was not something he could fathom, let alone guide.

Just from the aura Li Shiming leaked, he was sure that even at his peak strength, he would not have been a match for the young Great Cultivator in front of him.

"My life span is running out, and the only thing I am concerned about is the Myriad Beast Sect. Can you tell me how strong you really are?" Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator, thought of the enemies of the Myriad Beast Sect, and after seeing Li Shiming reveal his aura, he asked with some newfound hope.

"In the Great Cultivator Realm, as long as it’s not at the peak of the Great Cultivator strength, I can slay them; peak Great Cultivator strength, I should be able to hold off!" Li Shiming thought for a moment and made a very conservative assessment.

"Looks like heaven hasn’t forsaken my Myriad Beast Sect, letting you return to the sect at this critical moment!" Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator, didn’t doubt Li Shiming’s declared strength. Although their interaction was short, he could sense Li Shiming’s sincerity.

This was the judgment of an old cultivator who had lived for more than two thousand years, and he was confident in its accuracy.

"It seems the sect’s help to you isn’t much, but I think the accumulation of the sect over ten thousand years can still be of some use to you!" Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator, said as he waved his hand, revealing a large number of jade slips on the wall of this level.

"These jade slips are all high-quality classics collected by the sect. Although there aren’t many that reach the Mahayana stage, they can still broaden your horizons!" he said, pointing at the jade slips in front of him.

Knowing Li Shiming’s strength and his ability to quickly remember jade slips, Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator, made all the important classics available to Li Shiming.

Zhang Dansheng, the Great Cultivator, had the longest seniority in the Myriad Beast Sect, and his authority was the highest.

Once he knew that Li Shiming did not need much help from the sect regarding cultivation techniques and had heard about Li Shiming’s high standards in alchemy, he realized that Li Shiming likewise did not require resource assistance from the sect.

The only thing the sect could help Li Shiming with was the classics accumulated over millennia. The classics here were of higher quality, and they were distinctly different from those below. Many classics’ origins were questionable, so they were not shared with other cultivators below.

In the following days, Li Shiming was almost daily spending time in the Library Pavilion.

The classics in the Library Pavilion included inheritance techniques from the other three main sects, most likely indicating their unclear origins, which is why they were stored here.

Of course, the inheritance techniques of the three main sects lacked experiential insights, greatly limiting their value compared to the true inheritance of the three major sects.

Even many of those inheritance techniques were incomplete, similar to the core techniques of the Myriad Beast Sect, with the full content accessible only after reaching the Great Cultivator Realm.
