Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1914: Chapter 1003: Prestige (Part 2)

They were all imposed with prohibitions, making it impossible for them to use spiritual power.

“My strength has been restored!” Grandmaster Chai suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

He sensed an external force acting on him, breaking the prohibition on his body.

“My strength has also been restored!” the other cultivators exclaimed one after another.

Grandmaster Chai didn’t know what had happened, but with his strength restored, he felt he had the power to fight. He was unwilling to be trapped here, like lambs waiting for slaughter.

Just as he wanted to break the trapping formation, a force broke the formation apart.

Then he saw a giant Golden Winged Dapeng in the sky, recognizing it as Li Shiming’s spiritual pet.

He instantly understood that Li Shiming had come to rescue him.

“Clean up the spoils of Black Water Island!” The Golden Winged Dapeng sent a thought to Grandmaster Chai, conveying its meaning.

Shortly afterward, the figure of the Golden Winged Dapeng disappeared, having returned first.

Grandmaster Chai steadied his mind and released his divine sense, discovering that within the range of his divine sense, all the cultivators of Black Water Island lay on the ground, breathless.

He soared into the sky, and as he flew around Black Water Island, he became more and more shocked.

The entire Black Water Island was devoid of any living person, all the cultivators had fallen with no sign of injury.

He even found the corpses of the Island Master and eight Vice Island Masters, with their spiritual objects still on them.

“All cultivators, act immediately, the patriarch has already slain the Black Water Island cultivators. We must take away all valuable things from Black Water Island!” Grandmaster Chai commanded over four hundred cultivators under his command.

“Thank you, Patriarch!” Over four hundred cultivators shouted in unison with joy.

They were excited, almost cheering as they rushed in all directions.

They burst forth with unparalleled enthusiasm, dismantling all the spiritual objects they could find.

These cultivators were professionals; from the large Mountain Gate Formation to the floor of a cultivator’s cave, everything they laid eyes on they dismantled and took away.

Even though Black Water Island was newly built, it was a major sect, with the nine Masters investing all their pirate-era accumulations, developing it over many years to its current scale.

Grandmaster Chai also gathered spoils, including the spiritual objects on the nine Great Cultivators, the treasury of Black Water Island, the Book Collection Pavilion, and so on.

By the time other cultivators came to Black Water Island, they would find it reduced to a wasteland.

The spiritual leyline of Black Water Island was even taken away, with traces remaining on the ground where the spirit field once was.

“Too ruthless!” Even the cultivators who discovered the place couldn’t help but shake their heads in amazement.

The event of Black Water Island was just a small episode in the development of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

However, every faction knowledgeable about the internal situation wisely warned their cultivators never to provoke the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

From the time the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s Long-distance Flying Boat was robbed to the attack on Black Water Island, the short interval had everyone guessing that a powerful cultivator squad was trailing behind the Long-distance Flying Boat.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s ruthlessness towards enemies was what made other factions wary.

All cultivators at the Mountain Gate of Black Water Island, not one survived.

After this incident, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s development speed only accelerated.

Decades passed, and the opportunity Li Shiming had been waiting for finally came.

The teleportation coordinates of the Divine Palace appeared on the teleportation ring. He hesitated slightly, recalling that last time he entered the Divine Palace several years after the coordinates appeared.

This time, he was unsure if the resources within the Divine Palace were collectible, most crucially if the ‘Divine Perception Stele’ was open.

He knew the time to enter the Divine Palace was limited, and if the ‘Divine Perception Stele’ wasn’t open, entering prematurely would be unhelpful and a waste of this rare opportunity.

After contemplating, he patiently waited a few more years.

During this period, he informed Grandmaster Hu about his attempt to breakthrough and his need to leave the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Outwardly, it was announced that he was in seclusion for training, since he regularly went into seclusion for periods anyway.

Grandmaster Hu only expressed concern for Li Shiming’s safety when he wished to leave, without demanding Li Shiming stay for the sect’s needs.

Li Shiming had already contributed enough to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and besides, the sect wasn’t easily trifled with anymore.

With Li Shiming’s remaining reputation and the five Late-stage Golden Corpses in Grandmaster Hu’s possession, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect wouldn’t easily face danger unless besieged by a large group of Peak Great Cultivators or attacked by Half-step Great Powers and Great Powers.

The probability of a super power targeting the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was low. Li Shiming left a legacy for all super powers; the power of Da Leiyin Temple as an example, which would last for at least hundreds of years.

After making the necessary arrangements for the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Li Shiming explained the action to Yin Shilan and asked her to stay in the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven before activating the spatial coordinates in the teleportation ring.

His body entered a space, which then twisted. Unaware of the time that passed while losing perception of time in the space, he was ejected from it.

He appeared in the familiar Divine Palace, in a safe zone.

Checking the time, he had chosen based on precise calculations by IBMz15.

As long as the Divine Palace’s time was accurate, he believed he would encounter the six Peak Great Cultivators entering this time within ten breaths.

But before that, he recalled the previous experience of space teleportation.

In terms of applying space rules, the Duke of Thunder and the Holy Spirit were of about the same level. Li Shiming and Li Yuanba, having learned from the Duke of Thunder and the Holy Spirit about the use of space rules, and combined with their own Divine Foot Skill, made significant progress.

However, the space rules of Li Shiming and Li Yuanba were still behind those of the Duke of Thunder and the Holy Spirit without significant opportunities.

The space rules were an innate ability of the Duke of Thunder and the Holy Spirit.

But this time, during the teleportation ring activation, he sensed the application of a higher level of space rules.

The spatial movement triggered by the teleportation ring was an application of space rules much higher than that of the Duke of Thunder and the Holy Spirit.

Previously, when Li Shiming had little understanding of space rules, he felt little even after many uses of the teleportation ring’s ultra-long-distance space movement.

This time was different, he sensed a mysterious application of space rules.

He believed that even understanding a tiny part of it could enhance his space rule mastery significantly.

As he was thinking, white light appeared around him, followed by six figures manifesting.

Six Peak Great Cultivators holding tokens, upon seeing Li Shiming, all displayed expressions of surprise.

They knew that during the previous opening of the Divine Palace, there was an unexpected cultivator. Now, upon seeing Li Shiming, they realized he matched the description of that cultivator.

Moreover, crucially, Li Shiming managed to enter the Divine Palace once again.

They exchanged glances, sharing opinions silently.

Although this was a safe area, it only guaranteed no restrictions or spirit beasts would attack actively, it didn’t prevent conflicts among cultivators.

The six Peak Great Cultivators, discovering Li Shiming’s ability to re-enter the Divine Palace, were greatly envious. With such an ability, one could enter the Divine Palace without limitation.

Mastering such an ability would significantly increase their chances of advancing to Half-step Great Power, while also making immense contributions to their own sects.

As for how to divide the spoils afterward, that depended on whether the ability could be shared or perhaps decided through some form of competition.

All of these thoughts were for after they resolved the issue with Li Shiming and obtained what they desired from him.

The six Peak Great Cultivators moved slightly, quickly setting up a formation to subtly trap Li Shiming within.
