Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 758: Chapter 425: Space_2

From the Artifact Spirit, he learned that the maturity period for planting Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine with the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan was not as slow as he had imagined.

It was only the fan face that had been damaged that had lost the ability to accelerate growth; the planting spaces in the other eight fan faces still maintained accelerated growth.

Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine could mature in just thirty years, and Third-grade Spiritual Medicine even reduced to maturing once a year.

This was indeed the greatest value of the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan, obtaining it was almost equivalent to securing an endless supply of cultivation resources.

The more Li Shiming understood about the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan, the luckier he felt about his fortune this time.

However, he was still facing a problem: the leakage of spatial energy from the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan still needed to be dealt with.

He asked the Artifact Spirit, and it stated that the Sword Intent needed to be dissolved before the Artifact Spirit could gather the leaking spatial energy of the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan and begin repairs.

Li Shiming did not use Divine Thought, but instead used ”Divine Eye Skill” to observe the sword scar on the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan.

He did not dare use Divine Thought to touch such a sword scar that had existed for many years, as the Sword Intent it contained could likely cause serious harm to his Divine Thought.

Under the observation of ”Divine Eye Skill,” there lay a sword blade formed by the condensation of Sword Intent at the location of the sword scar.

The Sword Cultivator who did this was of unknown strength but had managed to solidify Sword Intent into a sword blade. Naturally, this sword blade was not something ordinary cultivators could observe, only those with ”Divine Eye Skill,” a Divine Skill that enhanced vision, could observe this special energy formed by Sword Intent.

This Sword Intent was of unknown age; all Shiming could confirm was that it had been around for more than five thousand years.

No wonder the Sword Intent had existed for so long; the Sword Cultivator had condensed it to be almost like a real entity.

Li Shiming looked at the Sword Intent blade, pondering how to deal with it.

If this Sword Intent blade wasn’t dealt with, the spatial energy near the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan could not be retracted inside. That meant the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan would remain in this space, and he would have to come here each time to control it.

He tried to activate ”Inchcape Elysium,” wanting to use Divine Foot Skill first to see if he could move the physical body of the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan, since its physical body was already in his hands.

But when he activated ”Inchcape Elysium,” something shocking happened; he was unable to activate ”Inchcape Elysium.”

”Inchcape Elysium” is a space movement Divine Skill, and the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan is a space-related treasure of extremely high grade.

In Li Shiming’s opinion, it must have been the leaked spatial energy from the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan, whose level was higher than the spatial energy he used in his Divine Foot Skill, hence preventing him from executing his Divine Skill within this realm of spatial energy.

”Artifact Spirit, how do I leave here?” Li Shiming contacted the Artifact Spirit and asked.

”Master, once the Sword Intent on the sword scar dissipates, you can leave!” the Artifact Spirit’s response made his face twitch slightly.

From his observation through ”Divine Eye Skill,” the Sword Intent blade that had solidified into reality was likely to take more than a few thousand years to dissipate.

The Artifact Spirit luring cultivators inside must not have considered, even the Artifact Spirit didn’t think about, how long normal cultivators could survive in such an environment, and even if they could survive, their lifespan would still come to an end in death.

Li Shiming didn’t suspect that the Artifact Spirit had intentionally lured cultivators like this, as its wisdom did not reach the level of such scheming; the thoughts of the five-year-old wisdom of the Artifact Spirit were still very innocent.

But the Artifact Spirit did give him a tough problem: unless he resolved the trouble with the Sword Intent blade, he could not leave this place.

Although he had plenty of resources in his hands, coupled with the presence of Nascent Soul Level Spiritual Energy here, the most he could do was to cultivate up to the Late-Stage Golden Core.

Of course, if he utilized all the Third-grade Spiritual Fields inside the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan, then perhaps he could hope to reach Golden Core Peak before his lifespan ended and try to forcefully break through to Nascent Soul Stage.

But the success rate of a forced breakthrough was too low, and the risks too high; with little lifespan remaining, it would greatly impact the chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Under these circumstances, his life treasure, the IBMz15, continuously ran various calculations.

But clearly, the spatial energy was still too complex for the IBMz15, and it offered only one solution.

Li Shiming looked at the plan, his heart filled with hesitation.

The IBMz15’s plan was for him to forcibly come into contact with the Sword Intent Blade, risking injury from the Sword Intent Blade, to bring it into the server room space.

The IBMz15 was unable to determine the extent of damage the Sword Intent Blade would inflict on him, making this plan extremely dangerous.

Li Shiming shook his head, opportunity always came with risks.

He had unexpectedly obtained the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan, a treasure that likely not even the six major sects of the Beishu Continent possessed, but he had also faced a crisis that nearly trapped him to death.

A resolute look flashed in his eyes, he did not want to be trapped here.

He chose to take the risk, to come into contact with the Sword Intent Blade.

He slowly extended his left hand towards the Sword Intent Blade, the closer he got to it, the more he sensed the danger.

The moment his left hand’s fingers touched the Sword Intent Blade, a flash of sword light appeared in his brain.

He could not describe the horror of that sword light, which felt like the apocalyptic breath of destruction, was the horrifying spirit damage contained within the Sword Intent Blade.

Even though the spirit damage was immediately shared by one hundred ninety-one brains, it still made him feel unbearable to continue.

Fortunately, once he made contact with the Sword Intent Blade, transferring it was just a matter of an instant.

The Sword Intent Blade was instantly transferred into the server room space, separating from his fingers.

Li Shiming gasped for air, the sword light was not terrifying in a physical sense, having gone through countless years, the physical aggressiveness of the Sword Intent had largely dissipated, leaving only the spirit contained within the Sword Intent.

Yet it was this tiny bit of spirit, even after being shared by one hundred ninety-one brains, that nearly broke him down, almost reducing him to an idiot.

”Master, you’ve succeeded!” the Artifact Spirit of the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan excitedly said.

The disappearance of the Sword Intent from the sword scars meant that the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan could leave this space.

The Artifact Spirit could finally see the outside world, its previous memories gone, making it ignorant of but full of longing for the outside world.

”You can take back the power of space,” Li Shiming said weakly, waving his hand.

He had not yet recovered from the recent scare, but though his spirit was weak, his heart was very excited.

What excited him was not that he could escape the trap, mainly because the time he was trapped was too short, not long enough to make him realize the torment of being trapped.

What excited him was that the Sword Intent had given him a direction, or rather, it had given his clone, Li Yuanba, a direction.

Having experienced that Sword Intent, the sword cultivator Li Yuanba now knew the direction for the growth of Sword Intent.

Previously, even Elder Sword’s Sword Intent did not make Li Yuanba want to follow Elder Sword’s path of cultivation, because although Elder Sword’s Sword Intent was extremely powerful, it was Elder Sword’s path, and not the same as Li Yuanba’s path of cultivation.

But having experienced that Sword Intent, which was far higher than Elder Sword’s on a fundamental level, how high exactly it was, Li Shiming could not judge, but it was certain that the Sword Intent Blade far surpassed the Early Stage of Nascent Soul, and perhaps even the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul.

Because Li Shiming and the clone Li Yuanba had experienced cultivators at the Early and Middle Stages of Nascent Soul, and the level of this Sword Intent was even higher than theirs.

Although extremely dangerous just now, the Sword Intent Blade in the server room space, like a beacon, had given the clone Li Yuanba a clear goal to advance towards.

Moreover, Li Yuanba could continuously study the Sword Intent Blade, drawing useful insights from it, thus allowing his own Sword Intent to achieve perfect growth.

Li Shiming waited for about an hour before he felt the power of space around the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan being absorbed.

The space he was in began to falter, and soon after, he fell out of this space.
