Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1358 - 725: Celestial Being (2)

Essentially, the energy derived from the Five Elements Divine Technique is identical to the energy of the Five Elements Rules themselves.

By merging the energy of the Five Elements Rules with the cultivation pattern of the Heavenly Human Technique, a rule-level energy circulation system is established within the Nascent Soul.

Li Shiming suddenly felt his entire reservoir of cultivated spiritual power being sucked into the Heavenly Human Technique cultivation pattern, plunging his Nascent Soul into a state of extreme fragility.

He realized that if this drainage persisted, his Nascent Soul would face imminent collapse.

The destruction of the Nascent Soul would cause him to fall from the Nascent Soul Stage entirely.

Under such dire conditions, losing his Nascent Soul Stage status would likely mean losing even his Golden Core Stage; without spiritual power, the shattered Nascent Soul would make reforming a Golden Core an impossible task.

He had not foreseen that the Heavenly Human Technique cultivation pattern would devour all his spiritual power in an instant. Though he didn't consider himself invincible, the combined spiritual power of his five Nascent Souls was substantial, especially since he was a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator with a significant total capacity.

Nevertheless, the Heavenly Human Technique cultivation pattern acted like a bottomless abyss, consuming every drop of his spiritual power without leaving a single trace behind.

His only option was to stubbornly persist in driving the Heavenly Human Technique cultivation pattern.

Even his natal treasure, the IBMz15, had failed to predict this outcome; it was clear that he had underestimated the sheer difficulty of practicing the Heavenly Human Technique.

Cultivating the Heavenly Human Technique demands Five Elements Divine Power Energy, a requirement that pushes the threshold for this method to an astronomical height.

Li Shiming began to wonder if the Heavenly Human Technique was merely a theoretical fantasy of the Great Power Zhai Ge rather than a practical manual.

However, the Heavenly Human Technique had truly begun its operation, proving it was far more than just an imaginary concept.

As his Nascent Soul continued to weaken at a terrifying pace, it relied solely on his spirit to hold together, though he was unsure how much longer he could endure.

At that critical moment, the Heavenly Human Technique cultivation pattern within his Nascent Soul began to feast upon his physical essence—specifically the body refinement energy from his sword body—alongside the spiritual energy within the Nascent Soul itself.

He immediately tapped into the spiritual energy stored within his natal treasure, the IBMz15, for reinforcement. With 191 brains at his disposal, the IBMz15—composed of 190 CPUs—had accumulated a massive amount of spiritual energy during his initial cultivation, which had grown steadily alongside him.

In the entirety of the cultivation world, Li Shiming undoubtedly possessed the highest total spiritual energy among all Nascent Soul cultivators, leaving a massive gap between himself and the runner-up.

Each of his 191 brains held spiritual energy equivalent to a Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner who specialized in spirit cultivation.

To prevent his Nascent Soul from failing, he began relentlessly drawing spiritual energy from his other 190 brains to replenish the primary Nascent Soul.

Li Shiming was in a precarious state; his physical body was withering due to the depletion of body refinement energy.

The Nascent Soul, stripped of spiritual power and constantly being drained of spirit, struggled to maintain its existence.

Time ticked away; every passing second brought him closer to the brink of destruction.

The IBMz15 was calculating at maximum capacity, yet it could not find a solution despite its immense processing power.

This wasn't a failure of the IBMz15's logic, but rather because Li Shiming, its master, had not yet grasped rule-level insights, leaving the IBMz15 without the necessary data to perform an analysis.

Li Shiming held on with sheer willpower, setting a hard limit with the IBMz15: if his spirit was consumed beyond a certain point, he would abandon the Heavenly Human Technique, even if it meant becoming a mere mortal.

As he drained the spirit from each brain, he drew closer to that final threshold, preparing to give up everything.

By this point, the amount of spirit swallowed by the Heavenly Human Technique cultivation pattern was already 150 times that of a standard Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner.

He questioned if the Heavenly Human Technique was actually a trap or a cruel joke left by Great Power Zhai Ge.

Great Power Zhai Ge had created the Heavenly Human Technique in his later years. After discovering an ancient manual, he had synthesized it with various top-tier methods to form this new technique.

To achieve the ultimate effects, he had completely ignored the difficulty of the cultivation process.

His goal was to design a theoretically perfect, 100% flawless ultimate technique.

To him, the minor "flaws" in the Heavenly Human Technique were insignificant compared to the potential results.

To ensure the technique survived, he made its cultivation a requirement for controlling the Grotto Heaven, indifferent to whether any cultivator actually had the capability to practice it.

He had passed away, unconcerned with whatever chaos he left behind.

Li Shiming was both lucky and unlucky; he had inherited Zhai Ge's Grotto Heaven and gathered the Five Elements Divine Technique, leading him to confidently attempt the Heavenly Human Technique.

Just as he reached his limit and prepared to stop the cultivation, a new thread of energy finally emerged from the Heavenly Human Technique pattern.

This energy flowed into his Nascent Soul, instantly manifesting as a massive surge of spiritual power.

Like a parched desert finally feeling rain, the Nascent Soul began to greedily drink in this spiritual power.

To his shock, this spiritual power was strange; it did not belong to any of the Five Elements, but instead carried an aura of chaos.

It was no longer bound by the Five Elements, yet it could transform into any of them—or even other unique spiritual powers—with just a single thought.

With this influx of energy, his Nascent Soul stabilized, finally moving away from the edge of collapse.

A portion of the energy released by the Heavenly Human Technique pattern converted into spiritual energy within the Nascent Soul.

Although the pattern continued to consume his spirit, the energy it released meant he no longer needed to drain his brains for survival.

The new spiritual energy within his Nascent Soul was far more potent than before; he felt that even a peak Nascent Soul Middle Stage specialist could not compare to him now.

While still limited by his current level and not yet a Great Cultivator, the distance between him and that realm had shrunk significantly.

Li Shiming felt that with his current spirit, he could withstand the pressure of the Great Cultivator Realm with just one brain, without needing to distribute the burden across all 191.

The energy from the Heavenly Human Technique pattern quickly replaced his old spirit with this newly transformed version.

Now that his spirit was sufficient, he carefully began to restore the spirit he had drained from his 191 brains, ensuring the process didn't disturb his Nascent Soul.

Another part of the energy from the Heavenly Human Technique entered his physical body.

This energy turned into a form of body refinement energy, tempering and strengthening his physical frame once more.

Li Shiming finally realized the terrifying potential of the Heavenly Human Technique; its cultivation produced a spiritual power that could harmonize with all others. He believed that whether it was a Taoist, Buddhist, or even a Demon Sect secret technique, he could use this chaotic spiritual power to fulfill any requirement.

Beyond the unique spiritual power, the Heavenly Human Technique simultaneously refined both spirit and body, providing the most complete enhancement possible for a cultivator.

There was no doubt that given the difficulty of this technique, even a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators with the Five Elements Divine Technique would have gone insane trying to master it.

This was essentially a theoretical method; he doubted Great Power Zhai Ge had ever practiced it himself, as it was unlikely anyone else possessed Li Shiming's unique spirit or luck.

Unfortunately, Great Power Zhai Ge was long dead, leaving no one to answer his questions.
