Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1810 - 951: Tomes_2

After Li Shiming advanced to Peak Great Cultivator, the computing speed of the IBMz15 increased tremendously.

Compared to the original IBMz15, the current one had improved its computational capability by hundreds and thousands of times.

Although the number of Jade Scrolls in the Book Collection Pavilion was astonishing, all Li Yuanba needed to do was sweep them with his Divine Sense; he didn’t need to memorize anything himself at all.

His Divine Sense could sweep over a hundred Jade Scrolls at the same time, and the contents of those hundred scrolls would be copied into the IBMz15’s database in just two breaths.

Without even using 24 hours, he had copied all the Jade Scrolls in the Book Collection Pavilion into the IBMz15’s data.

He also discovered the one hundred and thirty manuals on advancing to Half-step Great Power hidden within the Book Collection Pavilion; what the Infinite Sect did was really ruthless—those one hundred and thirty Jade Scrolls had been scattered all over the pavilion.

If not for the help of the IBMz15, in 24 hours he might have been able to find a few Jade Scrolls recording how to advance to Half-step Great Power, but definitely not many.

After copying all the manuals, he deliberately fished out those one hundred and thirty Jade Scrolls one by one and placed them together.

He was telling the Infinite Sect that their petty tricks were useless.

After 24 hours, Li Yuanba walked out of the Book Collection Pavilion and saw the Great Cultivator with a dark face.

It seemed this Great Cultivator also knew what had happened in the Book Collection Pavilion; since he had failed to make things difficult for Li Yuanba, his mood was extremely foul.

"Many thanks for opening so many manuals; most of what’s here I’ve never read before!" Li Yuanba said with a fake smile.

Though the smile was fake, there was still some genuine feeling in it.

The one trying to make trouble was the Infinite Sect, but the one who profited was him.

He had recorded the one hundred thousand manuals of the Book Collection Pavilion, almost copying all the manuals the Infinite Sect had collected over countless years, which greatly enriched the IBMz15’s store of knowledge.

IBMz15 could analyze and research Alchemy, Artifact Refining, talisman crafting, Corpse Refining, combat and so on in all aspects, and the most important foundation for that was the massive number of manuals it had collected.

The knowledge system formed by these manuals allowed the IBMz15 to establish a cultivation knowledge system belonging to the Cultivation World.

Otherwise, with only its original technological knowledge system, how would the IBMz15 be able to analyze and research cultivation?

"Time’s up, please leave!" the Great Cultivator said in a deep voice.

Smiling, Li Yuanba was escorted out of the mountain gate by the Great Cultivator. Within the Infinite Sect’s mountain gate, aside from this Great Cultivator, all he saw was a group of cultivators glaring at him with hatred; he didn’t see any other cultivators.

The Infinite Sect had only used a few minor methods and hadn’t really done anything too serious to him; only after he left the Infinite Sect’s sphere of influence did he let out a long breath of relief.

Never mind that he had killed quite a few of the Infinite Sect’s cultivators in succession, even slaying a Half-step Great Power.

He was very clear that as long as a Great Power of the Infinite Sect made a casual move, he would die without a doubt.

There was only one teleportation ring, and he didn’t have a teleportation ring he could use to escape from the hands of a Great Power.

He returned to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and immediately went into seclusion; he didn’t go to the outer continents to take on missions.

In the following period of time, together with the several brains of his main body Li Shiming, and with the help of the IBMz15’s computing power, he began to analyze and study the key points for advancing to Half-step Great Power.

No matter what kind of thoughts the super forces of the Central State Continent had, aside from the Infinite Sect, all the other super forces hoped he would enter the state of advancing to Half-step Great Power as soon as possible and no longer show himself in the Cultivation World.

In fact, even in the Infinite Sect, the act of scattering those one hundred and thirty Jade Scrolls of advancing to Half-step Great Power wasn’t ordered by the Infinite Sect’s Great Powers.

A Great Power wouldn’t do something so tasteless, because this kind of thing was a bit disgraceful. The Great Powers didn’t pay it any mind, and even the high-levels of the Infinite Sect simply threw the matter to that Great Cultivator.

It was all the Great Cultivator’s own idea, just to make things difficult for and disgust Li Yuanba.

With the knowledge on advancing to Half-step Great Power from several super forces, the IBMz15’s research project on Half-step Great Power was proceeding steadily, and the research into simulating the "Divine Perception Stele" had also made some progress.

Three years after Yin Shilan went into seclusion, a Sound Transmission Technique flew into the Fengqi Palace of the Luanyang Palace.

The phantom avatar received the Sound Transmission Technique, and a smile appeared on his face.

Yin Shilan had taken three years and finally broken through to the Great Cultivator Realm.

The time she used to break through was extremely short compared to other Great Cultivators.

It had to be said that the top-tier resources she held in her hands played an extremely important role in her rapid breakthrough.

After advancing to Great Cultivator, Yin Shilan not only possessed a stronger ability to protect herself, she also gained more Life Span.

Not long after, Yin Shilan arrived at Fengqi Palace; the Great Cultivator aura on her body had yet to stabilize.

"Why didn’t you stay in seclusion a bit longer to stabilize your realm?" the phantom avatar asked with concern.

"I want to go home!" Yin Shilan said softly.

Having been away from Li Shiming for several years, she missed him more and more. After advancing to Great Cultivator, she didn’t want to wait another moment and only wanted to go home.

"I’ll inform Li Yuanba to escort us home!" The phantom avatar didn’t try to persuade her further; he nodded as he spoke.

Although the journey of Yin Shilan returning to the Dongqi Continent had very little danger, after going through an ambush once, Li Shiming didn’t dare to take it lightly.

He knew very well that as long as Li Yuanba was accompanying her, even if a Half-step Great Power appeared, Li Yuanba would have the ability to settle the trouble.

He didn’t keep Yin Shilan waiting long. Just two hours later, Li Yuanba came out of seclusion and arrived at the Luanyang Palace.

The reason he was so fast was because he’d rushed over riding on the back of the Golden Winged Dapeng.

Li Yuanba didn’t enter the Luanyang Palace; he waited outside the palace.

"We’ll be troubling you, Brother Li!" When Yin Shilan saw Li Yuanba, she bent her body slightly and bowed.

"Not troublesome at all, I’m very free lately!" Li Yuanba waved his hand with a smile as he replied.

Fortunately, Yin Shilan had been in seclusion these past few years and didn’t know of Li Yuanba’s great fame. She had no idea how shocking it would be to others if word got out that she had invited Li Yuanba as an escort.

To invite Li Yuanba, who was hailed as the number one under the Great Powers—what kind of face would that take?

After several years of widespread publicity, Li Yuanba had already replaced Li Shiming and become the number one under the Great Powers.

After all, Li Yuanba had the widely known battle achievement of slaying the Infinite Sect’s Half-step Great Power, and, most crucially, Li Yuanba was a cultivator of a super force.

The super forces did not want the title of number one under the Great Powers to fall on a cultivator of a large sect; it was better to pin it on Li Yuanba—besides, Li Yuanba was also one of the super forces’ own people.

On the way back, for greater safety, Li Yuanba took out the "Crossing Void Shuttle," this Fourth-grade top flying boat.

He didn’t know whether there would be any forces trying to intercept Yin Shilan. In any case, once the Crossing Void Shuttle entered the great sea, it dove beneath the surface, concealing its course as it traveled.

The journey passed without incident. When they arrived outside the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect on the Dongqi Continent, several Great Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect personally came out to welcome them.

At their head was Grandmaster Hu. He came in person for two reasons, the first being Li Yuanba’s arrival.

Things were different now; Li Yuanba’s fame was so great that Grandmaster Hu had to treat him with solemn respect.

Grandmaster Hu saw very clearly that, given the friendship between Li Yuanba and Li Shiming, if the Ten Thousand Beast Sect ever ran into trouble, then in the absence of Li Shiming, Li Yuanba would be their best support.

The other reason Grandmaster Hu came personally was for Yin Shilan.

Although Yin Shilan was a cultivator of the Luanyang Palace, as Li Shiming’s Daoist couple, and given the relationship between the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and the Luanyang Palace, she could also be considered a cultivator of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Yin Shilan’s advancement to Great Cultivator was equivalent to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect having gained another Great Cultivator.

No matter what, Grandmaster Hu had to express the attitude of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and welcome Yin Shilan’s return.

Li Yuanba, Grandmaster Hu, and several other Great Cultivators headed to the main hall to attend the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s gathering.

Yin Shilan didn’t go; she flew toward the cave abode on the Floating Mountain.

"Shiming, I’m back!" Outside the cave abode, she saw Li Shiming, who was smiling as he looked at her, and she said with a gentle smile.

"Welcome home!" Li Shiming opened his arms and embraced her as he spoke.

At this moment, Yin Shilan’s heart was incomparably tranquil; even the slightly unstable aura she had from her rush back calmed down at this instant.

The two of them stood in each other’s embrace. Without many words, they both felt the other’s affection.
