Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1557: Chapter 825: Eradication

This time Li Shiming went into closed-door cultivation for fifty days. The ’Thunder Rule Imprints’ inscribed in his five Nascent Souls were greatly replenished, making the previously blurred ’Thunder Rule Imprints’ much clearer.

But this enhancement only digested a very small part of the comprehension of the Thunder Rules within the Grotto Heaven. Due to his own realm limitations, this was the maximum he could improve for now.

If he wanted to continue enhancing the ’Thunder Rule Imprints’, he would need to raise his cultivation level.

It’s estimated that in the Cultivation World, there are almost no Great Cultivators whose comprehension of rules surpasses their cultivation speed.

Li Shiming essentially received all the experiences of a Half-step Great Power regarding Thunder Rules, waiting only to be absorbed when his cultivation level matched.

He named this Grotto Heaven Thunder Cave Heaven because the only rule in this Grotto Heaven is the Thunder Rule. This singularity makes the Grotto Heaven have no practical value, at least not for now.

Upon leaving the Grotto Heaven, he immediately received multiple communication techniques. Upon checking, he found they were from Master Liu Ziyun.

Master Liu Ziyun was waiting outside the Taichu branch for him, reminding him of his promise to Master Liu Ziyun.

"Seems like Central State Commerce sent an Alchemy commission!" Li Shiming thought about why Master Liu Ziyun came and pondered.

Just as he was about to head out to meet Master Liu Ziyun, he noticed the five late-stage Golden Corpses still standing in place, loyally guarding their position.

Master Wang He and Master Yan Gao appeared even more debilitated than they were two months ago. Due to their sealed bodies and Nascent Souls, they couldn’t heal themselves.

Although Li Shiming had given them initial treatment, it only kept them alive, not restoring much of their injuries.

In fact, if it weren’t for the strong foundations of these two Peak Great Cultivators, being carried by late-stage Golden Corpses in their wounded state for nearly two months would likely be more serious than just debility.

"Seems I’ve forgotten about you two!" Li Shiming shook his head and said.

This kind of forgetfulness rarely occurred. If he hadn’t mobilized his entire mind to comprehend the Thunder Rules this time, he wouldn’t have forgotten the two Peak Great Cultivators.

In the past, he would always leave part of his mind for emergencies, even during normal cultivation; he’d never devote his entire mind to comprehension like this.

It was truly because the Thunder Rule in the Thunder Cave Heaven was too captivating for him. He had already specialized in Thunder Rules, and the Thunder Rules in Thunder Cave Heaven were much more comprehensive than those spawned in Half-Life Cave Heaven.

The Thunder Rules in Half-Life Cave Heaven seemed to be derived unintentionally by an outsider, appearing normal but actually amateurish.

Yuqing Sect’s Half-step Great Power only cultivated the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’ throughout his life. His understanding of the Thunder Rules was unrivaled except by Great Cultivators of Thunder.

Therefore, in Yang Xing’s Thunder Cave Heaven, his life’s research on Thunder was embodied in his Thunder Rules, making them professional Thunder Rules.

For Li Shiming, who also cultivated the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture,’ the Thunder Rules in Thunder Cave Heaven felt like a perfect modernization of those rules.

Li Shiming casually unleashed two ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills, casting them upon the two Peak Great Cultivators. He planned to meet Master Liu Ziyun now and would address the matters of these two Peak Great Cultivators upon returning.

He left five late-stage Golden Corpses behind and flew out of the Taichu branch.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to invite Master Liu Ziyun inside, but the Taichu branch is currently a massive construction site, with construction everywhere and no suitable place to entertain guests.

As for Taichu Cave Heaven, it is also under development. The Array Master, Spirit Plant Master, and other professionals from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect were conducting surveys inside to better develop the cave heaven.

At this stage, many areas in Taichu Cave Heaven were completely exposed, unsuitable for foreign visitors.

"Mr. Liu, apologies. I’ve recently had some gains and was in closed-door cultivation for a while!" Li Shiming met Master Liu Ziyun and greeted with a smile.

"After a glorious victory, one always gains some insights, so closed-door cultivation is only natural!" Master Liu Ziyun misinterpreted the situation and replied with a courteous gesture.

He assumed Li Shiming had gained insights from battling two Peak Great Cultivators, leading to his closed-door cultivation.

Especially since he saw Li Shiming wearing that very tattered piece of top-level fourth-grade robe, it seemed evident that Li Shiming had undergone a fierce battle.

However, his words held some truth, although the insights weren’t from battling the two Peak Great Cultivators, but from gaining enlightenment after a fight with a Half-step Great Power.

"For what purpose have you come this time?" Li Shiming didn’t wish to explain further and asked directly.

"Here are the materials for five Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, and the compensation has been agreed upon!" Master Liu Ziyun handed a storage bag to Li Shiming as he spoke.

Li Shiming accepted the storage bag and, upon verifying that there were no issues with the Great Cultivator Spirit Pill materials inside, nodded and accepted it.

"Is there anything else?" He noticed Master Liu Ziyun seemed hesitant and still wanted to say something, prompting him to ask.

"It’s like this, the White Emperor Sect and the Yuqing Sect have approached us. They want us through Central State Commerce to negotiate returning the two Peak Great Cultivators to you!" Master Liu Ziyun answered somewhat apologetically.
