Chapter 669: Chapter 381 Disposal
“The Heavenly Gang Four Phase Array blocked the fluctuations of Li Shiming’s breakthrough to the Golden Core Middle Stage; otherwise, in such a Spirit Energy-depleted environnt, the breath of his breakthrough would’ve surely inflicted extrely severe injuries on all the mortals and beasts in this area.”
“Even the lowest level of Golden Core cultivator is equivalent to a land-bound immortal to mortals.”
“With a wave of their hand, they can decide the fate of mortal nations, turning entire realms into dead lands.”
“The Cultivation World operates by its own set of rules, and even Devil Cultivators would not randomly kill a large number of mortals. Not to ntion the murderous intent generated from massive killings, the rules of the Cultivation World would make such Devil Cultivators the target of pursuit by all major sects and powers.”
“Mortals are the foundation of the Cultivation World, and a stable Mortal World is a necessity for all forces within it.”
“Li Shiming’s advancent this ti was smooth and flawless; therefore, the process took only ten hours to complete.”
“When he returned ho, it was already dark, and Si Qin had long prepared bathwater for him.”
“Ho was no longer as it had been three days earlier. Inkstone, the steward, beca a true majordomo. With no more worries about wealth, he went out and purchased so honest and obedient servants.”
“Si Qin had two maids under her orders, along with two nursemaids, so she no longer needed to lift a finger to do the heavy chores.”
“Served by Si Qin, Li Shiming bathed in the manner of mortals.”
“He savored this warm mont, sothing unattainable in the perilous Cultivation World.”
“In the twenty years he had been away from ho, he had experienced countless life-and-death situations, and his hands were stained with blood.”
“Only at ho could he truly relax.”
“He stopped thinking about alchemy and cultivation, fully enjoying these rare peaceful tis.”
“After Si Qin saw him to bed and fell asleep herself, his eyes sprang open, and with a wave of his hand, Si Qin fell into an even deeper sleep.”
“He proceeded to the underground space, retrieved a Nascent Soul Level Spirit Vein, and began cultivating.”
“Previously, because there was no progress to be made in his cultivation, he had abandoned the practice, but now, having just broken through to the Golden Core Middle Stage, he wouldn’t waste a mont.”
“Li Shiming was acutely aware of one thing: without strength, he couldn’t even protect his own ho.”
“In his hands, he had a considerable number of Third Grade Advanced Spirit Pills, which aided Golden Core cultivation; after the breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage, he had almost exclusively refined this type of Third-grade Spirit Pill.”
“After a night’s cultivation, he returned to bed in the early morning and lifted the spell from Si Qin.”
“The spell wouldn’t harm Si Qin; in fact, it was beneficial for her spirit.”
“Not long after the spell was lifted, Si Qin, brimming with energy, got up and started preparing for Li Shiming to rise.”
“Li Shiming watched Si Qin’s bustling about with a smile and got out of bed when the ti was right.”
“After paying respects to his father, he left the house and headed toward the Imperial City.”
“During his few days back, he had treated his father’s health and settled his family affairs. He needed to go to the Imperial City to inquire what happened in the past that led to his father’s injury.”
“In an era where physicians were not subjected to punishnts, his father had reached as high as a second-rank position in the court. Even if he had been demoted, it wouldn’t result in injury or stripping of family wealth, let alone if the offense warranted capital punishnt.”
“Step by step, he made his way to the Imperial City, and soon he sensed the presence of the city’s protective Formation.”
“Who might be the cultivator guarding this place now?” Li Shiming muttered to himself.
“He thought of Gu Jia, the Qi Refining Seventh Level cultivator who used to guard the place.”
“With Gu Jia’s lifespan, he would have turned to bones by now.”
“In those days, Gu Jia did not have much longer to live; he only accepted the mission of guarding the mortal world for the sake of his descendants.”
“Reflecting on the past, Li Shiming entered the range of the Formation.”
“He didn’t bother analyzing the Formation; it was too low-grade to rit his contemplation.”
“In fact, just exposing a trace of his aura was enough to forcibly destroy this Formation.”
“Which sect’s cultivator are you? This is the Xia Country Imperial Palace, no trespassing is allowed!” A cultivator flew out from the Imperial Palace and blocked Li Shiming’s way, saying.
“The cultivator was rely at the Qi Refining Ninth Level, with an aura of old age, likely another cultivator nearing the end of his lifespan.”
“While such cultivators may not have high realms, they possess incredibly sharp vision. He couldn’t discern Li Shiming’s strength but judged his extraordinary nature from his bearing, so even though his words carried a warning, they carried little threat.”
“Shushan Sect Elder Li Shiming here, I’ve co to visit the Emperor of Xia regarding a matter of my mortal relatives!” Li Shiming announced his identity without any intention to hide.
“ng Bin of the Mingxin Sect greets the senior!” ng Bin’s face changed drastically, and he stooped as much as he could, bowing and speaking.
“ng Bin was an old disciple of the Mingxin Sect, having moved from the Beishu Continent. However, he ultimately failed to break through to Foundation Establishnt and thus beca a guardian cultivator for the Xia Country.”
“He was certainly aware of the renown of the Shushan Sect, one of the six major sects on the Beishu Continent and the true ruler of the land.”
“The Senluo Sect, which forced the Mingxin Sect to retreat to Sky Sea Island, held equal prestige to Shushan Sect. If the Mingxin Sect could not afford to offend the Senluo Sect, neither could they afford to offend the Shushan Sect.”
“And to be an Elder of the Shushan Sect, one had to at least be at the Golden Core Stage.”
“Such a being, not to ntion a re Qi Refinent disciple like himself, even the Golden Core elders of his sect would need to show enough respect.”
“However, ng Bin soon connected the na Li Shiming with sothing related to the Xia Country.”
“It was imperative that he knew of every cultivator from Xia Country, whether they had joined the Mingxin Sect or one of the seven sects from before.”
