Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1495 - 794: Departure

The 'Heavenly Human Technique' stands as the pinnacle of cultivation methods, yet it falls short in offensive capabilities. This stems from a clear cause: no advanced cultivators have ever refined it, delving deep into analysis and study to uncover hidden assault arts. As a result, the offensive arts of the 'Heavenly Human Technique' pale in comparison to the foundational legacies of mighty sects.

Yet, the 'Heavenly Human Technique' boasts a key strength in its ability to seamlessly integrate nearly all offensive secret arts.

Take, for instance, the 'White Emperor Technique' from the White Emperor Sect or the 'Sun Shooting Technique' of the Sun-Shooting Sect—these essential arts' assault secrets can all be unleashed via the 'Heavenly Human Technique', unleashing far greater might than their standard forms.

Li Shiming felt no rush to master new offensive skills. Right now, drawing solely on sword cultivation and thunder cultivation approaches, he could overpower most foes with ease.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he summoned Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon from within the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven.

In the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon had gone without his presence for roughly two decades.

The moment they spotted him, Little Feng leaped onto his frame, giving a gentle peck with its beak to express its clear displeasure.

The Illusion Spirit Dragon handled it somewhat more calmly, having hatched before Little Feng, yet it still swirled around him eagerly, straining to coil about his form as though dreading his departure once more.

Via the spiritual bond, Li Shiming sensed the deep emotions Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon held for him.

Such feelings had nothing to do with the bond itself; the Illusion Spirit Dragon and Little Feng had grown under his care from their earliest days, much like his own offspring.

Furthermore, Li Shiming had poured vast resources into nurturing Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon, pushing their bloodlines to extraordinary heights.

A warm smile crossed his face as he gently patted Little Feng's head and caressed the Illusion Spirit Dragon's form, savoring this precious moment of family-like closeness.

"It seems I must hunt down some treasures to boost your powers swiftly!" Li Shiming murmured tenderly, gauging the might of Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon.

The prowess of Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon advanced at a remarkable pace, but even that swift growth couldn't keep up with Li Shiming's own cultivation progress.

With bloodlines approaching the zenith of the Phoenix Clan and Dragon Clan, Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon possessed elite potential among spirit beasts for cultivation.

Before, their power had been capped by Li Shiming's own level, blocking advancement to the late fourth-grade stage. But after years in secluded practice, Li Shiming had surged to Great Cultivator status. Now, supplying ample resources to Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon would let them break through to late fourth-grade.

Sensing the overwhelming aura radiating from Li Shiming, Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon let out thrilled calls.

The resounding dragon roar and piercing phoenix cry stirred the waves and clouds across the nearby ocean.

This outburst rendered the surrounding waters even more still. Any nearby spirit beasts would flee in terror from the bloodline auras of Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon.

Li Shiming grinned, allowing them their freedom. Though the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven offered ample room, having endured it himself, he knew well the vast gap between that realm and the outer world.

Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon frolicked briefly, darting from the heavens down to the waves.

Thanks to their robust power, the ocean posed little threat; it merely sparked their curiosity.

Li Shiming retrieved the Gu Wind Bag, which held eight unsubdued 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects' inside.

Given his current realm, claiming these eight 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects' presented no challenge.

He unleashed a series of eight spells in quick succession, etching ownership seals onto each of the eight 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects'.

With just a thought, all eleven 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects' emerged from the Gu Wind Bag.

He decided to experiment by applying the 'Chaotic Spiritual Power' from the 'Heavenly Human Technique' to the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects', aiming primarily to probe their resilience.

To his surprise, because the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects' belonged to him as spiritual creatures, the 'Chaotic Spiritual Power' merely pressed upon them without unleashing its full array of destructive forces.

Naturally, should he will the 'Chaotic Spiritual Power' to strike them outright, every aspect of its devastating effects would target the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects'.

His goal was mere testing, not destruction of the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects', so he refrained from fully activating the 'Chaotic Spiritual Power'.

"Oh!"

The instant the 'Chaotic Spiritual Power' made contact with a 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect', Li Shiming noticed a sliver of it getting drawn in by the insect.

In that instant, memories of the 'Tuo Luo Insect Manual' he'd acquired before surfaced, detailing numerous ways to raise 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects'.

One such approach involved nourishing the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects' with the master's spiritual power and blood essence. Yet, thanks to the Gu Wind Bag, which induced dormancy in the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects' during storage, he hadn't properly cultivated them thus far.

These eleven 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects' had all been raised by Great Cultivator Zhao Qingfeng, essentially inherited in full by Li Shiming.

Next, he deliberately sent forth a strand of 'Chaotic Spiritual Power' toward the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects'. As this counted as intentional feeding, they responded to the directive and eagerly drew in the 'Chaotic Spiritual Power', boosting the process's speed and effectiveness as they swiftly consumed the strand.

Li Shiming barely noticed the loss of that much 'Chaotic Spiritual Power'; he proceeded to offer additional amounts for the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects' to take in.

The master's spiritual power and blood essence serve as prime tonics for the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects' and represent the finest way to amplify their capabilities.
