Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1987: Chapter 1040: Corpse Refining

’Thunder Prison’ was again requisitioned, and all the Thunder Cultivators moved to another place to cultivate.

Li Taibai was guarding outside, while Li Shiming was inside the ’Thunder Prison’ setting up the Corpse Refining Array.

The materials he used for corpse refining came from the body of a Sword Cultivation Great Power.

Thirty-six sets of half-step fifth-grade corpse refining materials were arrayed for the Corpse Refining Array, and as it absorbed energy, Li Shiming began to engrave ’Refining Corpse Runes’ on the body of the Sword Cultivation Great Power.

Six trillion ’Refining Corpse Runes’ were engraved in the space of the machine room, using the ’Thousand-Handed Guanyin Visualization Record,’ activating one hundred and eighty brains collectively for the engraving. The entire process took a month.

This Sword Cultivation Great Power was named Yun Ji, but during the process of refining the corpse, he intentionally altered the appearance of this corpse, ensuring it would not be recognized by the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Should the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion discover that he used the corpse of Yunji Ancestor from their sect to refine a corpse, even the strongest friendship would turn into enmity.

The body of the Yun Ji Great Power differed in many ways from that of the Leng Luo Great Power; one was a Sword Cultivator, the other a Thunder Cultivator. Thus, even the engraving scheme for six trillion ’Refining Corpse Runes’ had to be completely redesigned.

With the support of the IBMz15 enhanced by the Taoist Lotus, Li Shiming received faster assistance. Such an extremely complex design took merely thirty minutes to complete.

During the subsequent engraving process, the IBMz15 provided immense help.

After the six trillion ’Refining Corpse Runes’ were engraved, he moved the body of the Yun Ji Great Power out of the machine room and placed it in the energy-filled Corpse Refining Array.

Next was the transformation process of the corpse. Apart from the previously used ’Power Rule Rune,’ ’Speed Rule Rune,’ ’Space Rule Rune,’ and ’Defense Rule Rune,’ this corpse was short of the ’Thunder Rule Rune’ but had an additional ’Sword Intent Rule Rune.’

This newly added ’Sword Intent Rule Rune’ nurtured a ’Void-Shattering Sword Intent.’

Li Shiming was not satisfied with the ’Void-Shattering Sword Intent,’ and attempted to inject his own ’Chaos Sword Intent’ into the ’Sword Intent Rule Rune.’

At that moment, the corpse was still undergoing the transformation process. Once he injected the ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ it devoured the ’Void-Shattering Sword Intent’ and remained in the ’Sword Intent Rule Rune.’

He was uncertain if this would preserve the ’Chaos Sword Intent.’

However, in his opinion, the original ’Void-Shattering Sword Intent’ of the corpse was truly weak. Not to mention his current ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ even his previous ’Chaos Sword Intent’ far surpassed the power of the ’Void-Shattering Sword Intent.’

To make the corpse beneficial to him, it must possess stronger combat power.

Otherwise, the refined ’Flying Night Demon’ would only end up as a trivial role, which did not align with his intentions.

He didn’t want to waste the thirty-six sets of half-step fifth-grade corpse refining materials, which were considered top-tier resources in the Cultivation World. Moreover, the body of Sword Cultivation Great Power Yun Ji was even more valuable, as he currently had no other human Great Power corpses.

Perhaps his mastery of the ’Sword Intent Rule Rune’ and the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ surpassed that of Yun Ji Great Power, or perhaps the heritage he received from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion founder played a role. During the subsequent transformation, the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ in the ’Sword Intent Rule Rune’ completely replaced the ’Void-Shattering Sword Intent.’

He encountered no troubles during the subsequent tribulation process.

The IBMz15 could assess the power of the heavenly tribulation from the thunderclouds and formulate corresponding strategies. Combined with the unconditional support from Li Shiming, the ’Flying Night Demon’ successfully advanced.

Cultivators watching the Thunder Prison from afar witnessed the ’Flying Night Demon’ undergoing a heavenly tribulation once more.

Among them, the intelligence officers of various superpowers hurriedly reported the news back to their respective organizations.

The Thunder Cultivators from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect were preparing to return to the ’Thunder Prison,’ only to find Li Taibai still standing guard beside it.

They also received the message that the ’Thunder Prison’ remained sealed.

Upon learning that Li Shiming had refined another ’Flying Night Demon,’ the reactions from all sides were similar.

All the Great Powers were left speechless. They were aware of Li Shiming’s proficiency in corpse refining.

But when did it become so easy to refine multiple fifth-grade ’Flying Night Demons’?

The only one with unusual thoughts was Sword Elder of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Sword Elder remained silent upon receiving the news.

He thought of the ancient ruins, of the fifth-grade life-bound flying sword of Yun Ji Ancestor sent back by Li Shiming, and pondered whether the ’Flying Night Demon’ was refined from the corpse of Yun Ji Ancestor.

He was eager to contact Li Shiming for inquiry but was fully aware that if he estranged Li Shiming over this matter, the consequences would be unfavorable for the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Especially considering the relationship between Li Yuanba and Li Shiming, which further made Sword Elder hesitate.

He learned from Jian Wuwei about the depth of the friendship between Li Shiming and Li Yuanba, which began in the Qi Refinement Realm, growing and supporting each other through the journey.

This relationship could even sway Li Yuanba’s stance to such a degree that he might betray the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion for Li Shiming.

Sword Elder was not making baseless alarms; he knew how much cultivation resources the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had allocated to Li Yuanba, most of which were his own, given by his friend Li Shiming.

The truth was that Li Shiming’s support for Li Yuanba far surpassed what the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion could offer.

Sword Elder’s emotions surged intensely, leaving him with no decision.

Inside the ’Thunder Prison,’ Li Shiming began setting up the Corpse Refining Array once more, but this time he used seventy-two sets of half-step fifth-grade corpse refining materials.
