As he entered the simulation world, he was also circulating the "Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique."
Behind him, a faintly visible Taiqing Xuan Turtle virtual shadow appeared. If Great Elder Sun Ao were still alive, it would surely have shocked him to his core.
Because it took Great Elder Sun Ao over three hundred years to attain the virtual shadow of the Taiqing Xuan Turtle that Li Shiming had just materialized.
Yet Li Shiming had only cultivated the "Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique" for a few years and had already condensed a virtual shadow of the sa level as his.
Moreover, the Taiqing Xuan Turtle virtual shadow behind Li Shiming was still changing, becoming clearer and clearer from being barely visible, shifting at a visibly rapid pace.
Without years of preparation, without a mass of data, without an IBM z15 creating a simulated environnt that could deceive Li Shiming’s senses with illusion, he would not have been able to manifest the true essence of the "Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique" so quickly.
After an unknown period, the Taiqing Xuan Turtle virtual shadow behind him was no longer just an ordinary phantom, but had acquired a terrifying presence.
This was the true essence of the form manifesting itself, connecting to the Taiqing Xuan Turtle existing in an unknown space and summoning a wisp of the Taiqing Xuan Turtle’s will.
With a ’boom,’ the Taiqing Xuan Turtle shell piece on Li Shiming’s forehead began to absorb the Spiritual Energy exhaled by the Nascent Soul Level Spirit Vein frantically. At the sa ti, the shell piece emitted a dazzling light, and the transford Taiqing Xuan Turtle Qi increased by dozens of tis, surging into his body.
Li Shiming’s movents were in sync with the real essence form of the Taiqing Xuan Turtle behind him. Every ti he moved his body, he allowed the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Qi entering his body to rge swiftly with it.
The way he lay on the ground no longer seed unsightly but had an indescribable naturalness to it as if it were in accordance with the rules of Heaven and Earth.
Within his body, patterns of the Taiqing Xuan Turtle ford by Taiqing Xuan Turtle Qi were erging, appearing on his skin, muscles, inner organs, and bones—increasing continuously everywhere in his body.
"Why has Master Li’s secluded cultivation been so prolonged this ti? He’s never let it affect his alchemy duties before!" a Golden Core Elder seeking pills sought out Elder Su.
Elder Su was unable to provide an explanation; he had tried to contact Li Shiming, but there had been no response from the other side.
This could only an that Li Shiming was in an important phase of his secluded cultivation; otherwise, he would not fail to reply to his ssages.
However, Li Shiming’s current period of secluded cultivation was indeed a bit long, which caused him so concern.
For a full six months, Li Shiming was nowhere to be seen. Not even the Silver Corpse ca out to entertain guests, let alone attend to any alchemy matters.
And those who sought out Li Shiming for alchemy were now Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators.
Especially since the opening of the Yongle Battlefield, many Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators went there to earn contributions, thereby obtaining Third-grade Spiritual dicine rewards. Their only option after receiving such awards was to request alchemy from Li Shiming.
Six months of delay had accumulated a fair amount of alchemy affairs, affecting the cultivation plans of so Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators.
There was also the Beishu Trading Company, which enquired about the situation every two days from Elder Su. They too had lost orders from Li Shiming, which had a greater impact on them.
It is worth noting that in the year that Li Shiming went to the Mortal World, Beishu Trading Company did not stop his business for even a mont.
But despite such significant impact, neither the Shushan Sect nor the Beishu Trading Company, including Elder Su and Elder Ma, Li Shiming’s masters, would ever disturb Li Shiming’s cultivation.
In the Shushan Sect, the matter of Li Shiming’s cultivation surpassed the importance of concocting pills for Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators.
"Once Shiming leaves his seclusion, I will inform you imdiately!" Elder Su replied sowhat helplessly.
The Golden Core Elder before him was an elder from their lineage, so he found it difficult to refuse and could only respond in such a manner.
As Elder Su spoke, his expression suddenly changed. He rose into the air and flew out of Heavenly Eye Peak, arriving outside Sword Holding Peak.
Just now, he had sensed a faint howl, which had impacted the grand formation of Heavenly Eye Peak, and the source of the howl was from Sword Holding Peak.
Standing in mid-air, even though Sword Holding Peak was protected by its grand formation, he still felt a sense of oppression emanating from Sword Holding Peak.
"Could it be that Shiming is cultivating so kind of cultivation technique? Or has he adopted so kind of exotic beast?" Elder Su saw that the grand formation of Sword Holding Peak was intact and thus put his mind at ease, but he still had many questions in his heart.
The late-stage Golden Core Elder also followed over, unable to sense the situation inside Sword Holding Peak.
This was not related to cultivation level, but rather because Sword Holding Peak was part of Heavenly Eye Peak, and the outermost formation of Sword Holding Peak was originally one with the formation of Heavenly Eye Peak.
What Li Shiming fortified was only the formation outside his cave dwelling, causing little change to the grand formation of Sword Holding Peak.
Li Shiming himself had not expected that this cultivation session would take up a full six months, making it the longest ti he ever spent in cultivation.
He was constantly in a simulated environnt where, inexplicably, he entered into a special state that made him completely imrsed in the practice of the "Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique."
Even the brains controlling the twelve silver corpses were retracted, leaving the twelve silver corpses in the underground factory space uncontrolled, and all research and work ca to a halt.
All one hundred and ninety-one of his brains were involved in the practice of the "Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique."
He transford into a Taiqing Xuan Turtle, breathing as the turtle did, absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth like it, and cultivating as the Mysterious Turtle did.
This was actually the influence of a wisp of Taiqing Xuan Turtle consciousness he had connected with from an unknown space; the wisp of this consciousness descended upon him, experiencing what he felt.
However, the issue was that what Li Shiming felt was all illusory, simulated with almost real data by the IBMz15.
Yet that wisp of Taiqing Xuan Turtle consciousness believed it to be real. This consciousness traveled through endless space, retaining little of its wisdom and might, but still carried the most basic abilities of the Taiqing Xuan Turtle.
Under its influence, Li Shiming felt that he had beco a Taiqing Xuan Turtle; his body cultivated the "Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique," and his self was also like the Mysterious Turtle.
If before it was the simulated environnt affecting his senses, then now it was the Taiqing Xuan Turtle consciousness influencing his mind.
Of course, conversely, one could also say that the IBMz15 deceived the Taiqing Xuan Turtle consciousness with the simulated environnt, making the true manifestation take the simulated environnt for the real world. The true manifestation, with the Taiqing Xuan Turtle consciousness, controlled Li Shiming, this false Taiqing Xuan Turtle, cultivating the "Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique" in the illusory ancient environnt.
Given the level of the Taiqing Xuan Turtle, practicing the "Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique" would be counted in centuries; it was only because Li Shiming’s own strength was too weak that he couldn’t maintain it beyond six months.
Li Shiming slowly ca to awareness, and the true manifestation behind him also vanished.
He felt indescribably powerful, yet from his life-bound magic treasure, the IBMz15, there ca a feeling of extre exhaustion.
Since refining the IBMz15 into his life-bound magic treasure, it had never shown signs of fatigue; this was his first discovery that even the IBMz15 could beco exhausted.
He soon learned from the IBMz15 what had happened; he had actually practiced the "Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique" for a full six months under the control of that Taiqing Xuan Turtle consciousness.
This made him feel sowhat apprehensive, for the true manifestation of such top-tier cultivation techniques indeed ca with risks.
But it was only the first ti that true manifestation happened like this; as long as he didn’t use the simulation environnt in the future, this kind of situation wouldn’t occur again.
In fact, he planned to wait until an opportunity arose in the future, to prepare everything and then use the simulation environnt again to draw in the Taiqing Xuan Turtle consciousness.
This six-month period of cultivation brought benefits so trendous that he was willing to take so risks; moreover, true manifestation backfiring on its master was extrely rare, so the actual risk wasn’t considered significant.
With six months of cultivation, he perfected the "Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique" to a flawless level, once again elevating his body refining techniques to the level of a Great Elder.
