Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1357 - 725: Celestial Being

An unexpected tranquility settled over the Central State Continent for three months.

Li Shiming sat in solitary meditation within the 'Heavenly Human Dao' hall of the Zhai Ge Great Ability Cave Heaven.

Every entity bound to him by contract—including his spiritual pets, his corpse refiner, and his spiritual insects—had been placed under strict restriction at his side.

Only Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon were situated in the 'Human Dao' hall, provided with a surplus of food.

He made this arrangement because of the profound bond he shared with Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon; they would remain loyal regardless of any potential decline in his cultivation level.

Still, taking no risks, he ensured they were kept in separate areas.

Sorted jade bottles were meticulously arranged in front of Li Shiming.

He had prepared a vast array of advancement Spirit Pills, spanning the Qi Refinement Realm, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, and both the Early and Middle Stages of the Nascent Soul.

Given his years of accumulation as an Alchemy Master and the immense wealth of the Fuliu Sect’s Treasure Pavilion, refining Spirit Pills for tiers below the Nascent Soul Stage was effortless for him.

He remained uncertain if these preparations would be necessary or what complications might arise from practicing the 'Heavenly Human Technique'.

However, he refused to gamble on his future, choosing instead to have everything ready before he began re-cultivating the 'Heavenly Human Technique'.

"The day has finally arrived!" Li Shiming whispered to himself.

He had initially discarded the cultivation technique upon seeing its demanding requirements.

At that time, the prospect of collecting all Five Elements Divine Technique seemed nearly impossible. He never anticipated that, after all these years, he would actually possess every Five Elements Divine Technique in the Cultivation World, granting him the opportunity to master the 'Heavenly Human Technique'.

Standing up, he gathered the Spirit Pills and produced a Token. With a sudden flash, he vanished, reappearing within the Treasure Lotus Hall.

He had constructed a training platform before the Treasure Lotus, placing the 'Infinite Jade Mat' upon it.

He took his seat on the platform, which was elevated over a pool to prevent any contamination of the spirit water.

His confidence was bolstered by the 'Infinite Jade Mat' beneath him and the Treasure Lotus before him, both of which accelerated his cultivation.

With his hoard of Spirit Pills, he felt secure; even if the re-cultivation failed, the worst-case scenario was starting over.

He was still quite young, and even if he lost a century of progress, he would still be considered youthful among those in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Li Shiming turned his focus inward, concentrating on the five nascent souls residing within his Dantian.

The 'Heavenly Human Technique' was originally designed for a single nascent soul, yet he possessed five. For safety, he initially considered re-cultivating with only one.

However, he was hindered by the 'Five Elements Qi Absorption Array' connecting them. If the spiritual energy of one nascent soul dipped, the others would immediately redistribute energy to maintain equilibrium.

Because of this 'Five Elements Qi Absorption Array', he could not re-cultivate with just one; all five nascent souls had to undergo the process simultaneously.

Unlike the 'Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique', the 'Heavenly Human Technique' was not divisible, requiring all five nascent souls to practice the exact same method.

The difficulty lay in the fact that each of his five nascent souls held only one specific element rather than all five.

After extensive planning and mental simulations, he had finally developed a solution.

With a mere thought, he drew the five nascent souls toward the center, where a strange phenomenon occurred: they began to merge.

A massive nascent soul emerged. Upon closer inspection, only the outer bodies had fused, while their internal cores remained distinct.

The bodies, limbs, and heads of the five nascent souls combined to form a single, unified entity.

Since all five nascent souls originated from Li Shiming, the fusion was seamless and free of conflict; no single soul dominated the others, as all were equal.

Holding this state, Li Shiming began to recite the mnemonic of the 'Heavenly Human Technique'.

The next vital phase was the activation of the technique. If it could integrate the Five Elements Spiritual Power produced by the 'Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique', the rest of his journey would be smooth.

However, if the 'Heavenly Human Technique' clashed with his existing Five Elements Spiritual Power, his cultivation level would likely plummet, leaving his remaining strength in doubt.

He did not waver; to secure a greater destiny, he had to replace his primary cultivation technique.

While staying with the 'Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique' might allow him to become a Great Cultivator, his prospects of reaching the Mahayana Realm would be nearly nonexistent.

The 'Heavenly Human Technique' offered a path to the Mahayana Realm and would likely make reaching the level of a Great Cultivator no more difficult than a standard breakthrough.

As the 'Heavenly Human Technique' began to circulate, the powers of five Divine Skills—'Nanming Leaving Fire', 'Sanmei Divine Wind', 'Innate Wood', 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism', and 'Ganlu Divine Water'—surged through the newly formed nascent soul.

The red Fire, golden Metal, green Wood, yellow Earth, and blue Water attributes wove intricate and mysterious sigils within the nascent soul.

Divine Skills served as a simplified manifestation of rule power, allowing a cultivator to wield such forces even before fully mastering the laws of the Dao.
