Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 936: Chapter 514: Inheritance (Part 2)

This is also why Yuan Ying cultivators in the Cultivation World try their best not to fight on the ground but prefer to battle in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

After a Thunder Strike Technique, Li Shiming immediately retracted the Nascent Soul Dharma Form, allowing the Fire Thunder Nascent Soul to return to his body.

That strike just now consumed one-tenth of the spiritual power in his body. He also found that the spiritual power consumed by the attacks of the Nascent Soul Dharma Form was many times greater than using his body to attack.

The thunder strike he performed had five times the power of a normal thunder strike, but it consumed ten times the spiritual power.

This is the price of being in combat mode with the Nascent Soul Dharma Form, exchanging more spiritual power and spirit for a stronger attack power.

But in any case, the Nascent Soul Dharma Form is the strongest combat means for a Nascent Soul cultivator; the multiple increase in attack power truly places Nascent Soul cultivators above Golden Core cultivators.

Normally, almost no Golden Core cultivator can cross realms to fight a Nascent Soul cultivator. No matter how formidable the Golden Core cultivator might be, or how advanced their magical treasures are, once the Nascent Soul cultivator uses the Nascent Soul Dharma Form, the multiple increase in strength is enough to overshadow the cultivation techniques and magic treasures of the Golden Core cultivator.

Li Shiming didn’t experiment much with the Nascent Soul Dharma Form. The experience of using it this time allowed his life treasure, IBMz15, to establish a simulated environment. In the future, he would practice the Nascent Soul Dharma Form using the simulation.

He took a step, crossing three kilometers in a single stride; such divine skills as ’At Arm’s Length’ only truly exhibit their formidable effects at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Of course, this is related to his powerful spirit. Look at Venerable Huike of the Beishu Continent; he couldn’t achieve a three-thousand-meter distance in one step ’At Arm’s Length’.

His spirit is strengthened by five Nascent Souls, each one containing the cultivation method runes of the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’. Even though the Nascent Soul Chapter of the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’ hasn’t been cultivated for long, it makes his spirit surpass most Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners.

The Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners here are those based on the standard of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, not the Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners on the Beishu Continent.

He strolled casually, taking step after step, and before long, he was back on the ground and reached a mountain peak thousands of miles away.

He glanced at the mountain peak, casually activated a ’Flowing Light Star Meteor’, which flew into the mountain wall and dug out a temporary cave mansion.

Retracting the ’Flowing Light Star Meteor’, he then set up a simple formation before entering the temporary cave mansion.

He sat cross-legged with a solemn expression. Previously in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he did not dare to explore the legacy of Great Power Zhai Ge, his convenient master.

Now outside of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he planned to try to access the legacy of Great Power Zhai Ge.

The legacy of Great Power Zhai Ge was personally passed down by Zhai Ge’s spiritual clone, embedded in his soul. He did not know if activating this legacy would cause a big commotion, nor did he know if the Ten Thousand Beast Sect had any means to sense the presence of the great power’s legacy.

Caution is the best policy. After advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, he waited until he had gained some strength before leaving the sect to explore Great Power Zhai Ge’s legacy.

He sensed the light sphere within his soul. Previously, he couldn’t perceive the internal situation of the light sphere, as if viewing flowers in the fog.

Now, as he perceived it, the light sphere within his soul transformed into an incomparably huge book.

On the cover of the enormous book, written in ancient script, were three characters: ’Heavenly Human Technique’.

Just seeing the three characters ’Heavenly Human Technique’ on the cover of the giant soul book made him feel his soul tremble, as if these characters contained some kind of power.

”Is this the cultivation technique legacy of Great Power Zhai Ge?” he murmured.

He opened the cover of the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ within his soul, revealing the first page of the book.

Li Shiming had no great need for cultivation techniques as he had seen the top-tier ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’.

The reason the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ is considered a top-tier cultivation technique is that the Sword Cultivators of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion cultivate the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’, a method that leads directly to ascension.

In the history of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, there were Sword Cultivators who ascended.

It is precisely because of the top-tier cultivation techniques like the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ as a reference that he has a basis for judging other methods.

His ’Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique’ and ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’ may not match the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’, but they are not far off and can be considered cultivation techniques that lead directly to the Mahayana Realm.

Moreover, the ’Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique’ and ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’ are too perfectly suited for him, and he has no plans to switch his main cultivation techniques.

Even if he wanted to switch, his five Nascent Souls would not agree, as cultivating the ’Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique’ is essential to maximize the capabilities of his five Five Elements Nascent Souls.

Therefore, his attitude was indifferent when opening the ’Heavenly Human Technique’.

The first page of the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ is the Nascent Soul Chapter, and as he read, his expression became increasingly serious.

The legacy of the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ is, rather, a summary and reflection on his cultivation by Great Power Zhai Ge at the end of his life. Aside from the ’Heavenly Human Technique’, it also contains thoughts on how to advance from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Mahayana Realm.

Many of the theories within were ones he had never heard before, broadening his horizons.

Great Power Zhai Ge’s failure to ascend during the Mahayana Realm was his greatest regret.

Therefore, he mentioned in his legacy that a solid foundation must be laid during the Nascent Soul Stage to strive for greater heights in the Mahayana Realm.

The ’Heavenly Human’ in the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ is his conception, where the heavenly human is a cultivator with a solid foundation.

Li Shiming looked at the solid foundation requirements and then at the ’Heavenly Human Technique’, shaking his head with a wry smile, knowing that even if he wanted to change cultivation techniques, he couldn’t do it.

This ’Heavenly Human Technique’ is undoubtedly the most difficult cultivation method to practice. The prerequisite for the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ is to gather the Five Elements, with each element needing a corresponding divine ability.

Five types of Five Elements Attribute Divine Abilities must be united in one to fulfill the condition to cultivate the ’Heavenly Human Technique’.

He was taken aback. He did indeed gather the Five Elements, but his Five Elements were divided among five Nascent Souls, and he didn’t know if this met the requirement.

Even if it did, he currently only had the ’Nanming Leaving Fire’ as a fire attribute divine ability. Although he had several divine abilities, none were Five Elements Attribute divine abilities.

After spending some time on the Dongqi Continent, he gained some understanding of divine abilities.

Indeed, the cultivation environment in the Dongqi Continent is excellent, far surpassing that of the Beishu Continent. However, the Dongqi Continent’s legacy of divine abilities is not abundant, let alone the Five Elements Attribute divine abilities.

In the Cultivation World, gathering all five types of Five Elements Attribute divine abilities is challenging, and obtaining any one type of Five Elements Attribute ability can already significantly boost a cultivator’s power, making them strong among their peers.

For instance, the ’Nanming Leaving Fire’; had Patriarch Weng Zhao not fallen into an ambush and been encircled by a formation set by six Yuan Ying cultivators, he would not have been heavily injured and forced to flee.

Without the formation, even one against six, he could have used the ’Nanming Leaving Fire’ to defeat his enemies one by one.

Currently, Li Shiming’s training time with the ’Nanming Leaving Fire’ is too short to form an overwhelming combat strength; otherwise, this single divine ability would place him at the pinnacle of his peers.

The ’Nanming Leaving Fire’ divine ability was obtained purely by luck; it’s not an auxiliary divine ability, and offensive divine abilities are not easy to acquire.

That the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ requires a complete set of Five Elements divine abilities for cultivation; what is Great Power Zhai Ge trying to achieve, truly turning cultivators into heavenly humans with the ’Heavenly Human Technique’?

However, the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ is not without value. He saw he could learn about puppet craft.

This puppet craft is a legacy of making puppets. Many sects have this legacy, like the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, which also has related knowledge.

However, the puppet craft in the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ legacy can create Fourth Grade Puppets.

Fourth Grade Puppets are equivalent to Nascent Soul cultivators, such as the Asura Puppet that he still cannot refine.

If he hadn’t witnessed the Asura Puppet’s strength, he wouldn’t have believed in the existence of Fourth Grade Puppets in the Cultivation World.
