Heavenly thunder descended, striking the fifth-grade cloud mist.
The fifth-grade cloud mist rapidly shrank, as the power of this heavenly thunder was too great, it seemed the fifth-grade cloud mist would be pletely destroyed.
At this moment, the Illusion Spirit Dragon gathered the remaining small piece of fifth-grade cloud mist; it didn’t dare let the cloud mist be utterly destroyed. If it were, it would need to ask Li Shiming for fifth-grade spiritual spring water for transformation and refinement.
The fifth-grade cloud mist that had gone through the same ascension process had differences from those refined later on. Unless there was no alternative, it wouldn’t let the current fifth-grade cloud mist be pletely destroyed.
The remaining power of the heavenly thunder struck the Illusion Spirit Dragon’s body; its scales glimmered, resisting the thunder’s attack.
It only persisted for a moment, before large portions of scales were shattered by the heavenly thunder.
Next facing the thunder were the skin and flesh; the thunder struck them, covering its dragon form with wounds.
’Innate Wood’ divine power energy played a role, continuously healing the dragon body.
Li Shiming showed no signs of urgency; after the ninth thunderbolt fell, he understood the oute.
He initially thought the Illusion Spirit Dragon’s tribulation process would be more troublesome, but he hadn’t anticipated the effectiveness of the fifth-grade spiritual spring water, enhancing the dragon’s defensive power significantly.
Despite the Illusion Spirit Dragon’s miserable appearance now, these injuries were all superficial. The thunder’s power hadn’t penetrated its internal body, let alone threatened its life.
After the ninth thunderbolt ended, just as Li Shiming had predicted, the Illusion Spirit Dragon’s injuries remained moderate, not causing severe damage.
Once the heavenly tribulation ended, ’Innate Wood’ divine power energy rapidly restored its dragon form.
Then, the energy of heaven and earth rewards acted upon the Illusion Spirit Dragon, elevating it inside and out, particularly its soul, transforming it pletely into the Fifth Grade Dragon Clan.
’Thunder Prison’ reappeared twice with great power level heavenly tribulations, recognized as the heavenly tribulation for a fifth-grade spiritual pet.
This news quickly spread throughout the Cultivation World, yet the reaction it triggered wasn’t particularly intense.
Or rather, the great cultivators had bee accustomed to Li Shiming constantly creating fifth-grade spiritual pets, building a certain immunity to such news.
Through their understanding of Li Shiming over the years, the great cultivators realized that as long as they didn’t provoke Li Shiming, he wouldn’t actively make a move against anyone.
Moreover, if Li Shiming truly wanted to expand the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he wouldn’t have waited until now.
Previously, with Li Shiming, Li Taibai, four fifth-grade ’Flying Night Demons’, and Li Yuanba as his close ally, annihilating any supersect wouldn’t have been difficult.
Additionally, both Li Shiming and Li Yuanba have acplishments in breaking through super sects’ mountain gate formations, making it clear to the great cultivators that such formations can’t stop them.
Thus, despite Li Shiming’s formidable power, it hasn’t caused panic within the Cultivation World.
Under normal circumstances, the great cultivators would ponder when Li Shiming might leave the Cultivation World to pursue his opportunities and advance.
This is the aspiration of all free great powers; the free great powers in the Cultivation World always leave.
But regarding Li Shiming, the current great cultivators hope he stays longer, preferably several hundred or thousand years.
Because the great cultivators hope Li Shiming can perform alchemy for them; his role is irreplaceable.
Once Li Shiming leaves, this benefit would depart with him.
In fact, over the past century, the number of fifth-grade spiritual pills Li Shiming produces has been decreasing.
The Cultivation World has so many inheritor great abilities, and the stock of fifth-grade spiritual medicine in their hands is only so much.
To cultivate new fifth-grade spiritual medicine, on average, it takes a century to produce one herb. At this rate, the great cultivators can only yield less than twenty such herbs per century.
Li Shiming originally hoped to receive ample fifth-grade spiritual medicine from the Cultivation World, but it’s obvious that its potential has been fully mined by him.
He has accumulated quite a stock of high-level fifth-grade spirit pills, but he isn’t the only one in need of them.
He, Li Yuanba, Li Taibai, and possibly Yin Shilan in the future, all require high-level fifth-grade spirit pills.
He plans to leave the Cultivation World after Yin Shilan attempts her breakthrough to the great power; after all, plans can’t keep up with changes, and who would have thought the great cultivators have so little accumulated spiritual medicine.
It’s not that these great cultivators should be blamed; how could they anticipate the appearance of Li Shiming?
Upon obtaining fifth-grade spiritual medicine, they naturally attempt to refine fifth-grade spiritual pills themselves; otherwise, the medicine would go to waste.
During these hundred years, Li Shiming and Li Taibai have taken on a few disciples; however, Tang Zhe and Hu Sheng, the two eldest disciples, have seen the fastest improvement and greatest potential.
Tang Zhe and Hu Sheng have been exceptionally proactive, and Li Shiming intentionally prepared several tasks. The rewards were tailored to their needs, and they pleted all tasks perfectly.
This is the reason for Tang Zhe and Hu Sheng’s rapid advancement within a mere century.
Of course, this is also related to Li Shiming and Li Taibai occasionally guiding them in cultivation. With the assistance of IBMz15, their guidance was often pinpointed, directly addressing the key aspects of Tang Zhe and Hu Sheng’s cultivation.
If Li Shiming had encountered such mentors back then, his time to ascend to great power might have been shortened by many years.
On Li Yuanba’s side, aside from Jian Jiuming, no other disciples have been taken.
Jian Jiuming inherited the Jian Family’s sword dao talent, guided meticulously by Li Yuanba, and with IBMz15’s analysis, his cultivation ranks among the absolute top of his peers.
In the Cultivation World, Jian Jiuming, Tang Zhe, and Hu Sheng, due to their similar age and superior strength pared to others of the same age group, are regarded as the three prodigies of this generation in the Cultivation World.
Furthermore, since Li Shiming, Li Yuanba, and Li Taibai all carry the surname Li, it’s widely known that these three free great powers are close friends, resulting in the Cultivation World labeling them the Li lineage.
Despite neither Li Shiming nor Li Yuanba intending to leave behind a legacy within the Cultivation World, their power has led to an implicit acknowledgment of their Li lineage.
Most notably, the Li lineage spans across both the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, enpassing beast cultivators, thunder cultivators, and sword cultivators.
bining Yin Shilan’s situation with Tang Zhe and Hu Sheng’s prehension of cultivation rules reaching a certain level, Li Shiming intentionally accelerates the advancement of these two disciples.
He hopes that by the time he leaves the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, both eldest disciples can at least reach half-step great power.
Then, based on their status as half-step great powers, he can have them inherit the current Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s inheritance cave heavens.
The Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s inheritance cave heavens number four, enough for the two eldest disciples to attempt.
The four inheritance cave heavens include the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven of the original Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the inheritance cave heavens of the Taichu branch, Lianhua branch sect, and Sun Concealing sect.
High probability suggests the Ten Thousand Beast Sect is the Cultivation World’s most resourceful super sect in terms of inheritance cave heavens; this lays a solid foundation for creating inheritor great abilities.
Yin Shilan is currently at the late stage of half-step great power; Li Shiming doesn’t wish for her early advancement but rather that she stays at this stage for several more years.
Since Yin Shilan’s cave heaven is entirely open to Li Shiming, he scans and analyzes it, along with her, using IBMz15. Only when her success probability for advancing to great power reaches a safe level will he allow her to advance.
Yin Shilan is not like Li Shiming or Li Yuanba; her talent is somewhat lacking, and Li Shiming needs to consider this, ensuring her advancement process isn’t fraught with mishaps.
Li Shiming remembers the vow he made to Yin Shilan; they are meant to stay together for a lifetime.
