Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1674: Chapter 883: Talisman (2)

Although he was a novice, he was crafting talismans within the machine room space, and his control precision of 0.05 nanometers meant each stroke could be infinitely close to perfection.

As for the differences among blank talismans, during the scan of the blank talisman by IBMz15, it analyzed this blank talisman, and the drawing plan formulated by IBMz15 was specifically targeted at this blank talisman.

Li Shiming finished the last stroke of the talisman, and the ’Instant Arrival’ rune on the talisman emitted a bright light, followed by a brilliance sweeping across the surface of the talisman, solidifying the light of the ’Instant Arrival’ rune.

He took the ’Instant Arrival’ talisman from the machine room space and, after sensing it, discovered that the teleportation distance of this ’Instant Arrival’ talisman was only five hundred Baili.

However, for ordinary cultivators, a space movement of five hundred Baili was enough for a life-saving purpose.

Then he put another Peak Great Cultivator blank talisman into the machine room space and began redrawing it.

This time he first drew the ’Divine Eye’ rune, then the ’Instant Arrival’ rune, which made the lines on the talisman incomparably complex, containing spiritual power and faint divine power energy in the lines.

Divine power energy replaces rule power, acting as rule power when exhibiting divine skills, and additionally empowering the divine energy to make the effect of the divine power better.

This time, drawing the talisman took a bit longer, taking him two hours.

When finally solidifying the talisman, if it weren’t for the control precision of 0.05 nanometers, he would have had difficulty balancing the energy on the talisman.

Li Shiming was almost certain that unless a cultivator had a machine room space like his, with at least nanometer-level control and the terrifying computing power of IBMz15, one could not even think of solidifying two kinds of divine skills or spells into one talisman.

Looking at the talisman in his hand, activating this talisman could grant an instant eight thousand Baili vision, allowing him to use ’Instant Arrival’ to reach any location within the eight thousand Baili range locked by his sight.

This was a true life-saving talisman that could even play a role in saving lives against Peak Great Cultivators.

Instant space movement of eight thousand Baili could allow a Peak Great Cultivator to escape alive as long as the enemy wasn’t a Great Power.

Li Shiming had personally experienced it; instant movement of eight thousand Baili couldn’t escape the pursuit of a Great Power.

When he attempted to draw the ’Thunder Fall Skill’ into the Great Cultivator blank talisman, he found that the blank talisman couldn’t bear such an attacking spell, and according to IBMz15’s analysis, at least a Peak Great Cultivator blank talisman was needed to solidify a powerful attack spell like ’Thunder Fall Skill’ into a talisman.

This was without even the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ empowering the ’Thunder Fall Skill,’ and to really solidify the ’Thunder Fall Skill’ empowered by the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl,’ it required an even higher quality blank talisman, which the blank talisman he purchased this time couldn’t withstand.

No wonder those life-saving talismans are either defensive spells or escape skills, with few attack talismans, probably due to this reason.

Of course, he had not encountered the blank jade talisman used by a Great Power, so he couldn’t judge the bearing capability of such blank jade talismans.

Li Shiming stayed in the cave mansion for five days. This period wasn’t entirely spent on talisman study, as drawing talismans only required one brain to handle, and outside the machine room space, he also read some miscellaneous books purchased from the Yuzhu Islands.

These miscellaneous books were mostly travel notes of cultivators, allowing him to have more knowledge about the ’Cloud Island Sea.’

With a loud ”Boom,” Li Shiming felt the cave mansion shaking, startling him into thinking that an enemy had come to seek revenge.

He hurriedly swept his divine sense over the cave mansion, collected his spiritual objects, and flashed out of the cave mansion.

After exiting the cave mansion, he understood it wasn’t directed at him.

Outside the fifty Great Cultivator cave mansions on Duiyi Island, more than twenty Great Cultivators, like Li Shiming, came out in haste to observe what had happened.

”Fellow cultivators, Yuzhu Island is under attack by sea beasts. Yuzhu Island is hiring every cultivator willing to participate in the defense of Yuzhu Island and will give appropriate rewards afterwards!” A voice came from the void, while a will swept across Duiyi Island.

Li Shiming sensed this will and was almost a hundred percent certain it was a Half-step Great Power.

Compared to the Half-step Great Power Yang Xing, whom he had slain, the aura of this Half-step Great Power was much stronger, but there was still a great distance from a true Great Power.

This Half-step Great Power paying special attention to Duiyi Island had a reason; compared to cultivators on other islands, the cultivators on Duiyi Island were the strongest.

More than twenty Great Cultivators present a formidable force anywhere, and hiring them to guard the Yuzhu Islands wouldn’t be a problem as long as the sea beasts weren’t overwhelming in strength.

”As Senior Yuan instructed, we will certainly do our best!” A Great Cultivator stepped forward with cupped fists and said.

Then the other Great Cultivators also expressed their stance, all willing to contribute to the defense of the Yuzhu Islands, and Li Shiming also didn’t want to attract the attention of this Half-step Great Power, so he expressed his intention to participate in the defense just like the other Great Cultivators.

After all, if real danger arose, he would immediately leave, since this place didn’t belong to him, and renting a cave mansion didn’t mean risking his life here.

Of course, Li Shiming also noticed one thing: although the strength of the more than twenty Great Cultivators was formidable, they were still insignificant compared to a Half-step Great Power.

Yet, this Half-step Great Power preferred paying the cost to hire more than twenty Great Cultivators to act, instead of acting personally, which indicated the cost for a Half-step Great Power to act exceeded the cost of hiring more than twenty Great Cultivators.

As for hiring those lower-level cultivators, even if they were hired, the cost would not compare to hiring Great Cultivators, so the expenditure was not worth mentioning.

”Very well, these are Array Formation Control Cards, each one of you Great Cultivators hold one and go to the designated location. With the protection of the formation, what you need to do is to launch a full-scale attack!” The voice of the Half-step Great Power with the surname Yuan came again.

Then the cultivators from the Yuzhu Islands brought the Array Formation Control Cards to Li Shiming and other Great Cultivators, and the card Li Shiming received had a standard number, which was the array node number.

Great Cultivators didn’t need to understand formations or the meaning of the numbers; connecting the divine sense to the Array Formation Control Card would provide the position of the array node to go to.

Li Shiming’s array node position was on Zhenyi Island to the east, and like a normal Sword Cultivator, he used Sword Escape to fly towards Zhenyi Island.

With the Array Formation Control Card, he obtained some temporary permissions of the array, allowing him to see the array node he needed to guard without any operation.

This array node on Zhenyi Island, once revealed, had circular and complex patterns on the ground, emitting dazzling brilliance.

Li Shiming glanced at it and couldn’t help but disdain the penny-pinching of Yuzhu Islands in his heart; these dazzling lights were to conceal the secrets of the array node.

Standing amidst the brilliance, he immediately felt a connection with the grand array.

The grand array not only provided him with defense but also became a source of spiritual energy for him.

When he cast spells, he could draw spiritual energy from the array for his own use.

The Yuzhu Islands grand array could convert spiritual energy into various attribute spiritual energies, allowing all Great Cultivators to borrow spiritual energy from the array.

Only he didn’t know, if he were to cast Thunder Skill, whether this array could be converted into Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power.

He merely thought about it; if his identity as a Thunder Cultivator were exposed, he might immediately draw the attention of many sects.

In the Cultivation World, the number of Thunder Cultivators has always been few, let alone Thunder Cultivator Great Cultivators, who are even rarer.

Moreover, the Yuzhu Islands are closest to the sea area of the Divine Palace, so exposing his identity as a Thunder Cultivator here would definitely lead to endless trouble.

Leveraging the connection with the grand array, Li Shiming began using IBMz15 to study the grand array.
