Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 2014: Chapter 1053: Inventory (Part 2)

When it comes to studying or searching for information outside, even the power of a Great Power cannot memorize all the texts in their mind.

This happened to benefit Li Shiming, as this time he effectively obtained the ’Sun-Shooting Sect’s library.

It wasn’t even just the ’Sun-Shooting Sect’s collection, it should include a lot of Great Power Xie Gan’s private collection.

Li Shiming continuously scanned these jade scrolls, transferring the contents of the jade scrolls into the IBMz15 database.

During this process, he found information about the golden crystal.

The golden crystal is an energy carrier from an exotic realm, called ’Exotic Realm Spirit Crystal’, and the energy inside is called ’Holy Spirit Energy’, which is an energy that can be converted at will.

The Exotic Realm Spirit Crystal has a wide range of uses, it can be used to strengthen the Great Power itself, or to strengthen the Grotto Heaven.

Great Power Xie Gan returned to the ’Sun-Shooting Sect’ this time to rest for a while, and took the opportunity to purify his soul and absorb the harvest of these years to enhance his strength.

But he never expected that all the gains of his many years of hard work would end up benefiting Li Shiming.

"It turns out that these Free Great Powers were fighting with the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ for the ’Exotic Realm Spirit Crystal’!" Li Shiming now understood the reason for the Free Great Powers’ adventures.

Some of the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ would carry ’Exotic Realm Spirit Crystals’, so the Free Great Powers would slay the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ and obtain ’Exotic Realm Spirit Crystals’ from them.

However, Great Power Xie Gan did not elaborate much on the ’Exotic Realm Spirit Crystal’, not mentioning how to absorb them.

Li Shiming retracted his mind, at this time the Heavenly Ghost had also digested Great Power Xie Gan’s soul energy.

The Heavenly Ghost’s realm has now reached its peak, and only a catalyst is needed to advance to the fifth grade.

Li Shiming was considering whether to find time to visit the ’Sun-Shooting Sect’, just in time to use the soul energy of the Sun-Shooting Sect’s inheritor Great Power to help the Heavenly Ghost advance to the fifth grade.

However, if he were to actually make a move on the ’Sun-Shooting Sect’, he would need to give a heads up to the Great Powers in advance.

Otherwise, if he were to destroy the ’Sun-Shooting Sect’ with full force, it would cause panic among the other superpowers, and perhaps have undesirable effects.

He tossed the fifth-grade Spiritual Treasure Longbow to the Heavenly Ghost, who swallowed it and began to devour the spiritual imprint inside.

He, on the other hand, was preparing to forge the second Spiritual Treasure, the refinement of these Spiritual Treasures could directly increase his combat power.

And with each additional Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, his cultivation speed would increase somewhat.

In Li Shiming’s machine room space, the last rule rune on a ring-shaped Spiritual Treasure was engraved.

Six billion ’Gold Element Rule Runes’, six billion ’Wood Element Rule Runes’, six billion ’Water Element Rule Runes’, six billion ’Fire Element Rule Runes’ and six billion ’Earth Element Rule Runes’, these are the rule runes engraved on the ring Spiritual Treasure.

And all these five types of rule runes are arranged in groups of five, each group of rule runes is also part of another large formation.

Li Shiming took the ring out of the machine room space, and after coming to the outside world, the heavens and earth showed strong rejection towards the ring.

This was the Spiritual Treasure he forged using fifth-grade materials of all the Five Elements, and he named it the ’Five Elements Ring’.

The ’Five Elements Ring’ not only enhances the power of his ’Heavenly Human Technique’, but also has another ability.

A part of the ’Five Elements Ring’s’ Five Elements Rule Runes are arranged in a special way, forming the ’Five-Colored Divine Light’ rune.

Thunderclouds appeared in the sky, and he held the ’Five Elements Ring’, activating the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ in his body.

’Chaos Energy’ flowed from within him into the ’Five Elements Ring’, and then circulated back into his body, with each cycle enhancing the power of the ’Chaos Energy’ by a small level.

Many things were enhanced by the ’Five Elements Ring’, for example, the effect of the ’Innate Wood’ divine skills was enhanced somewhat by the ’Five Elements Ring’.

As long as it was a cultivation technique within the scope of the Five Elements, it was enhanced by the ’Five Elements Ring’.

This enhancement is currently only about thirty percent, but as he goes deeper into refining the ’Five Elements Ring’, the enhancement ratio will continue to increase.

Regarding the enhancement of the ’Heavenly Human Technique’, Li Shiming was not the most focused, after all, ’Heavenly Human Technique’ is more like his foundation, not entirely an attack method.

The greatest hope he has for the ’Five Elements Ring’ is the ’Five-Colored Divine Light’. The ’Five-Colored Divine Light’ emitted by the ’Five Elements Ring’ is not only more powerful, but also more convenient to wield.

He could perform the ’Five-Colored Divine Light’ himself, but the problem was that when the ’Five-Colored Divine Light’ was emitted, it had to travel from his body outward, and no matter how fast the ’Five-Colored Divine Light’ was, it needed a certain distance to reach the enemy, giving them enough time to react.

But when he bestowed abilities like that of a Sword Cultivator, or a Thunder Cultivator, and the Five Elements Energy in his body was converted, the ’Five-Colored Divine Light’ could not be wielded.

Unlike the ’Five Elements Ring’, which can emit the ’Five-Colored Divine Light’ at a great distance once thrown.

The Heavenly Thunder from the sky descended, and the ’Five Elements Ring’ emitted five protective shields, encompassing Li Shiming within.

The ’Five Elements Ring’ is both an offensive and defensive Spiritual Treasure, representing multiple functions as a complete Five Elements treasure.

The Heavenly Thunder split through several defensive shields, but when it encountered the Earth Element Shield, it consumed a significant amount of energy to break it.

The remaining power of the Heavenly Thunder was dissipated in a beam of ’Five-Colored Divine Light’.

The first Heavenly Thunder passed without even touching Li Shiming or the edge of the ’Five Elements Ring’, making it the easiest Heavenly Thunder experience he had encountered.

The subsequent Heavenly Thunder, though its power continuously increased, the honest Li Shiming simply passively accepted the attacks, and the Heavenly Thunder’s power was not enough to cause significant damage.

While Li Shiming was crossing the Heavenly Tribulation here, the commotion in the ’Thunder Prison’ was also relayed to all the superpowers.

The fact that Li Shiming forged a Spiritual Treasure and was undergoing an Artifact Tribulation, which would be extremely shocking for other Great Powers, was a very common occurrence for him.

Mainly, all the Great Powers had long been numb to such news, as he had caused far too many Heavenly Tribulations.

But Li Shiming engaging in combat with a Great Power, although due to the interference of the formation later on, the cultivators watching from afar could not see the entire battle, just knowing part of the beginning was enough to tell that a Great Power challenged Li Shiming.

Nearly all the Great Powers had the same thought, wondering which Great Power had such courage to dare challenge Li Shiming.

As for the result, after the formation was lifted, only Li Shiming being left alone explained a lot.

"Yet another Great Power has fallen!" Sword Elder murmured, gazing towards the east from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

The reason he said ’yet another’ is because after Li Shiming appeared in the cultivation world, the number of Great Powers unexpectedly fallen exceeded the total from several thousand years before him.

And in the past few centuries, many Great Powers that have fallen are somewhat related to Li Shiming.

However, Sword Elder also did not know who that Great Power appearing on the Dongqi Continent was.

According to the descriptions from intelligence officers, it should be a Free Great Power, making it even harder to identify which Great Power it was.

Sword Elder could almost surmise the course of events: a Free Great Power returned from outside, saw Li Shiming crafting a Spiritual Treasure and undergoing an Artifact Tribulation, and greed arose in his heart.

Probably only a Free Great Power coming from outside, who did not know the details about Li Shiming, would have such thoughts.

Li Shiming’s reputation was forged with the blood and flesh of one Great Power after another.

After understanding Li Shiming’s deeds, no Great Power would provoke such a terrifying existence for a little profit.

It wasn’t just Sword Elder guessing who that Free Great Power was; all superpowers were speculating.

They feared that the Free Great Power was one who returned to their own family, as with Li Shiming’s temperament, this could easily lead to a sect-destroying catastrophe.

Several Great Powers who were familiar with Li Shiming, like Sword Elder and Great Power Meng Jun, sent him messages, hoping to learn the identity of that Free Great Power from him.

And at this moment, Li Shiming was crossing the Artifact Tribulation, and hadn’t checked these messages.
