Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1547: Chapter 820: Seal

On the sealed Nascent Soul are sealing runes formed by the Rule Power. Perhaps the Half-step Great Power is exceedingly adept at controlling the Rule Power, or maybe the Half-step Great Power doesn’t want to waste too much Rule Power; the Rule Power sealing the Nascent Soul is just at a level sufficient to seal it.

Without external assistance, it’s impossible to break the sealing Rule Power from within. However, the Rule Power constituting the seal is limited. Li Shiming observed and concluded that with a few days, he could leverage the power of the other four Nascent Souls to break the seal.

He recalled that finger from back then and thought of that indescribable might; it was a feeling akin to an ant facing a dragon, a sensation he rarely experienced after advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The method Li Shiming used to break the Rule Power constituting the sealing rune was straightforward; it was to continually flush the sealing runes using the ’Five Elements Qi Absorption Array.’

He worked on breaking the sealing rune within his body and refocused his gaze on the jade compass.

He believed that the Half-step Great Power definitely knew the situation outside. Currently not interacting with him, it seemed as if believing he couldn’t do anything to them, or was waiting for him to approach before they subdued him again.

He smiled, and at this time, his natal magical artifact IBMz15 had already designed a set of formations.

He took out the Buddha beads, scattered them, forming 108 individual beads, and with a wave of his hand, the 108 beads flew out, landing around the jade compass.

The Buddha beads did not touch the ground, all hovering at a meter above the ground, emitting a golden glow, activating a special spatial formation.

Li Shiming intentionally did so, worried that the Half-step Great Power might destroy the Buddha beads as he set up the formation.

Thus he was extremely decisive when arranging the formation, activating it before the beads touched the ground to catch the Half-step Great Power off guard.

The formation taking shape relieved his internal pressure slightly; after all, he was facing a Half-step Great Power. Even if this Half-step Great Power was somehow limited, he needed to be extremely cautious to prevent their counterattacks.

The formation’s successful setup did not mean it was over. Li Shiming flicked his fingers, launching a series of spells which landed within the formation.

The beads began to contract; initially, there wasn’t much sensation, but as they contracted to a certain degree, the space around the jade compass started to feel solidified.

Space solidified, making the space outside the Grotto Heaven no longer ordinary but a compressed solid space due to the formation.

The formation designed by IBMz15 was originally a spatial formation to seal the Grotto Heaven’s entrance and exit, but its effect was enhanced on this basis.

Li Shiming had a profound understanding of Grotto Heavens, possessing two himself; combined with the Taichu branch’s Taichu Cave Heaven, he essentially had three.

Half-Life Cave Heaven and Heavenly Person Cave Heaven were his private Cave Heavens; IBMz15 had long started researching the Cave Heavens, understanding how they connected with the outside.

Especially the Half-Life Cave Heaven, which was likely quite similar to the Half-step Great Power’s Cave Heaven ahead, enabling lockdown of the Half-Life Cave Heaven’s spatial formation equaled sealing the Cave Heaven ahead.

He continuously cast spells, with the formation compressing further, and space solidification increased.

Only when the 108 Buddha beads formed a palm-sized formation did his actions cease.

Even then, Li Shiming didn’t approach himself; he summoned a late-stage Golden Corpse nearby, retrieved a talisman pen and a bottle of talismanic ink from the soul crystal ring, handing them to the Golden Corpse.

As the late-stage Golden Corpse received the talisman pen and talismanic ink, Li Shiming’s brain took over the Golden Corpse’s body.

It must be said, the Golden Corpse’s body was not much different from a normal Great Cultivator’s body in terms of flexibility and stretch; it lacked the stiffness of ordinary Corpse Refining.

Aside from the internal Yin Cold Power which he wasn’t quite accustomed to, the corpse core had replaced the Nascent Soul.

However, having the experience of transforming into a Corpse Refining state using his clone Li Yuanba, who could transform into a Corpse Refining state, that state was quite similar to the current state.

Especially in harnessing Yin Cold Energy, Li Yuanba could enhance Yin Cold Power through cultivating Corpse Refining techniques. Although he seldom did so, having the experience greatly aided Li Shiming in mastering Yin Cold Power at this moment.

The late-stage Golden Corpse walked as the Yin Cold Energy flowed over the talisman pen; at first, the energy fluctuated, but stabilized once in front of the jade compass.

The Golden Corpse lowered its body while maintaining extreme stability in its arm.

Without waiting, space sealing runes that had been long contemplated were written onto the jade compass with the talisman pen.

The Half-step Great Power was clearly aware of Li Shiming’s intentions, tried to resist within the Cave Heaven, but the Cave Heaven was suppressed by the spatial formation of 108 Buddha beads.

This left them, strong as they were, unable to influence the outside from the Cave Heaven, let alone launch attacks.

Finally, the Half-step Great Power broke their silence, wanting to converse with Li Shiming.

"Li Shizhen, don’t push me to desperation, or I’ll forcefully employ three thousand years of cultivation to slay you!" Their voice was not as loud as imagined.

Though inside the Cave Heaven, their voice was like a thunderous bell, due to the effects of the space sealing formation, once it crossed the Cave Heaven, the voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.
