Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 563: Chapter 328 Ambush

Li Shiming looked at the Heavenly Ghost with excited eyes as it entered the interior of the Fake Infant Body.

The Heavenly Ghost was not affected by the might of the Fake Infant Body, which was extremely rare.

It’s known that ghosts possess the ability to inhabit, but there are great limitations to possession. Too much spiritual power, too much strength, too high a realm, mastery of spirit-related cultivation techniques, etc., can all affect a ghost’s ability to possess.

Even without the False Infant, given the might of the Fake Infant Body, a Third Grade Fierce Ghost daring to touch it might very well result in its soul shattering to pieces.

Let alone a Third Grade Fierce Ghost, even Li Shiming at the Foundation Establishment Stage didn’t dare to interact too much with the Fake Infant Body.

The Heavenly Ghost inherited the Heavenly Demon’s talent in this respect; a Fake Infant Body without a False Infant is like losing its powerful spiritual power, it’s just a strong body.

Such a Fake Infant Body can’t resist being possessed by Heavenly Demons; the Heavenly Ghost possesses part of the Heavenly Demon’s talent, which allowed it to successfully enter the Fake Infant Body.

“Possess!” Li Shiming issued the command, growing somewhat impatient.

He understood what it meant to control a Fake Infant Body – the kind of combat power it represented.

At least within the Golden Core Stage, even if facing those two Great Arhats, if the Fake Infant Body got close, it could definitely explode both the Great Arhats.

Moreover, the Fake Infant Body was the best shield, capable of standing in front of him, serving as a defense even stronger than defensive magical treasures.

The Heavenly Ghost followed his command and displayed its capability to possess.

Then, the eyes of the Fake Infant Body slowly opened, with a hint of agility in its gaze. The Heavenly Ghost’s wisdom wasn’t high, but it had wisdom nonetheless, which imparted a unique glow of sentient life to the eyes of the Fake Infant Body.

Li Shiming clenched his fists tightly, feeling that the Heavenly Ghost had indeed successfully possessed it.

However, he soon noticed something wasn’t right; the Fake Infant Body wanted to stand up but moved extremely slowly; it took more than ten breaths just to make the motion to stand.

This reminded him of the previous action of the Fake Infant Body opening its eyes; he had thought it was the Heavenly Ghost getting accustomed to the body.

He sensed the Heavenly Ghost’s weakness; controlling the Fake Infant Body was like a child trying to pull a heavy cart.

The Heavenly Ghost’s possession was so inadequate that it couldn’t even enable the Fake Infant Body to move normally, let alone fight.

Li Shiming let out a long breath, feeling he had been too impatient; the Heavenly Ghost had done well enough.

If it weren’t for the Heavenly Ghost’s metamorphosis, perhaps the Third Grade Fierce Ghost could still only hover around the Fake Infant Body, far from entering it.

One of his minds continued to monitor the situation of the Heavenly Ghost and, after more than two hours, he made a new discovery.

The Heavenly Ghost’s possession of the Fake Infant Body had no time limit.

This was unlike a Third Grade Fierce Ghost, whose possession was at the cost of its own energy.

This was more similar to a Heavenly Demon; their possession had no time restriction, and it was the possessed that would nourish the Heavenly Demon instead.

Currently, it was the same for the Heavenly Ghost; the longer it possessed the Fake Infant Body, the stronger life force within it nourished the Heavenly Ghost, allowing it to gradually increase its strength without needing Li Shiming’s essence blood or spiritual power.

This was an unexpected discovery; Li Shiming was already planning to take on some Essence Blood Spirit Pill Alchemy tasks to recover after returning.

Cultivating the Heavenly Ghost required essence blood and spiritual power. He wasn’t worried about spiritual power; with his strong spiritual power, even if the Heavenly Ghost consumed a bit, he had plenty of time for his spirit to recover on its own.

From now on, Li Shiming needed to spend a bit of time each day after his cultivation practice to strengthen the control of the ‘No Thought Earth Willow Netherworld Scripture’ over the Heavenly Ghost.

This was not originally necessary, but the Heavenly Ghost was too special; according to the analysis of the life-bound magical treasure IBMz15, it was best to continuously strengthen control over the Heavenly Ghost.

The matter of the Heavenly Ghost did not need his further attention; his gaze shifted to the space outside the Meteor Ink Boat.

This was a rare opportunity for relaxation; now being in the Golden Core Stage, coupled with the identity of an Alchemy Master, he didn’t believe that he would encounter any trouble.

He thought of Yin Shilan; unfortunately, since informing her of his advancement to the Golden Core, Yin Shilan had sent a message back about going into closed-door cultivation, otherwise, he would have liked to visit her.

Thinking of this made him smile.

He knew why Yin Shilan chose to go into seclusion; they had an agreement to become Daoist couples after both achieving the Golden Core Stage.

Yin Shilan didn’t say much, but in her responses, he could sense that emotion.

In a good mood, he saw four Flying Boats approaching from the front. Considering this area was close to a Cultivator’s gathering area, the presence of Flying Boats was normal, and he had encountered quite a few during his journey.

Just as the four Flying Boats got close, they suddenly changed direction and surrounded him.

A Formation’s fluctuation rose between the four Flying Boats and quickly enveloped the Meteor Ink Boat.

Li Shiming watched the Flying Boats’ movements with his mouth agape, scanning himself from head to toe over a hundred times with his Divine Thought.

The reason he could scan over a hundred times in such a short period was that he activated over a hundred minds, controlling over a hundred threads of Divine Thought simultaneously.

He wanted to see if there was any curse mark or the like on him, otherwise, why would he find trouble immediately after leaving the sect?

It was as if a curse followed him; he was a Golden Core cultivator, after all, and controlling a Flying Boat Magical Treasure; how could he be attacked by Cultivators.
