Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1594 - 843: Departure (2)

Yet, the four puppets that Li Shiming had effortlessly summoned possessed the power to eliminate a Nascent Soul Middle Stage expert.

Inside the Mustard Seed Ring, he could feel the four Fourth Grade puppets resting silently.

Armed with these four Fourth Grade puppets, the role of Sect Master transformed from a mere symbolic position into a vital one backed by formidable fighting strength.

In a typical sect, gaining such sudden might might stir up complications for the Sect Master.

However, the Beishu Sect stood apart; despite Li Shiming's departure from the Beishu Sect, his sway continued to dominate it. One must remember the ongoing ties between the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and the Beishu Sect.

Lacking the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's backing, the Beishu Sect's supply of resources would halt abruptly.

Above all, a hint of Li Shiming’s spiritual imprint lingered within the four Fourth Grade puppets, allowing him to monitor the Beishu Sect's affairs and seize command of the four Fourth Grade puppets during urgent times.

The battle prowess of these four Fourth Grade puppets remained impressive. Though they offered scant benefit to him now that he had become a Great Cultivator,

equipped with ultra long-range electromagnetic cannons, the four Fourth Grade puppets fired top-tier Fourth Grade conical magical treasures as projectiles, capable of obliterating most Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts in an instant.

The Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts in question belonged not to average sects, but to mighty superpowers.

Even a single one among the four Fourth Grade puppets could dispatch most Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts swiftly. Facing the combined assault of all four, even less robust Great Cultivators had to proceed with extreme care.

Guarded by these four Fourth Grade puppets, the Beishu Sect's security was thoroughly secured.

Once he had settled all sect matters, Li Shiming approached Yin Shilan, who was chatting with Ren Fei’er.

He drew near and noticed Ren Fei’er in tears.

"What’s bothering Ren Fei’er?" he inquired.

"Fei’er hates to see me leave!" Yin Shilan replied, smiling warmly at her sister.

Ren Fei’er felt otherwise, of course. Thanks to the resources Li Shiming supplied, advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage came easily for her.

Future reunions remained possible, so this wasn’t a permanent farewell.

"Ren Fei’er, with your father-in-law and mother-in-law’s health declining, remain on the Beishu Continent to keep them company on our behalf. Visit the Dongqi Continent whenever you can. I’m planning to induct you into the Ten Thousand Beast Sect as a core cultivator!" Li Shiming revealed his intentions.

"Is that true? You’re not fooling me?" Ren Fei’er questioned, wiping away her tears.

"Rest assured, I can hand you the Identity Jade Disc for a core cultivator in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect immediately!" Li Shiming assured her with a grin, shaking his head.

He produced an Identity Jade Disc, imprinted it with necessary details, and passed it to Ren Fei’er.

Upon reaching the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Ren Fei’er could use this Identity Jade Disc to gain entry and receive core cultivator privileges right away.

As a Great Cultivator in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and one of its highest figures, he held the power to do so.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Ren Fei’er beamed, accepting the Identity Jade Disc.

"I sense I’ve been outmaneuvered!" Li Shiming remarked, glancing from Ren Fei’er to Yin Shilan.

Both Ren Fei’er and Yin Shilan burst into laughter. Ren Fei’er flaunted the Identity Jade Disc, her eyes sparkling with triumph.

"Ren Fei’er, pick a new cave residence. I’ve set one up for you on the ’Main Peak of Beishu’!" Li Shiming recalled and added.

"You’re not actually planning to cart off this whole mountain, are you?" Ren Fei’er gasped in astonishment.

She’d caught wind of Li Shiming’s idea to remove the mountain, but dismissed it as jest before.

Even vast storage in spatial artifacts rarely accommodates living entities. Storing the mountain might inflict severe harm upon retrieval.

Her viewpoint stayed rooted in Beishu Continent norms, blind to the wonders of the broader Cultivation World.

"Since Lan’er cherishes this mountain, I’ll surely bring it with us!" Li Shiming declared confidently.

From the Beishu Sect’s founding, he had detached this Floating Mountain from the sect’s formation array exactly for this purpose.

Now, as departure loomed, he intended to carry the Floating Mountain along without fail.

"I’ve always hated this mountain. The main peak’s surroundings are far superior!" Ren Fei’er huffed, stamping her foot dismissively.

Li Shiming recognized her words as feigned; after a century here with Yin Shilan, attachment was inevitable.

"This journey takes Lan’er and me to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. I’ll select a mentor for you, and that mentor will travel to the Beishu Continent to oversee your cultivation!" Li Shiming wrapped up.

Were it not for Elder Yin and Aunt Ren, he would have brought Ren Fei’er directly.

A shocking event struck the Beishu Sect: the ever-present Floating Mountain vanished from the skies.

Beishu Sect elders announced to the cultivators that Li Shiming entered prolonged seclusion, though many suspected his impending exit.

Aboard the ’White Emperor Light Cloud Boat,’ Li Shiming and Yin Shilan faced each other across a small table, gazing at the shoreline and waves ahead.

Li Shiming departed discreetly, stowing the Floating Mountain in the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, then set sail with Yin Shilan on the ’White Emperor Light Cloud Boat.’

Yin Shilan lifted the teapot, serving Li Shiming a cup of Spiritual Tea and pouring one for herself.

Her eyes lingered on the approaching coast; soon, crossing it would mean leaving the Beishu Continent behind.

Far from anxious, she brimmed with utter joy, eager to enter Li Shiming’s realm.

"The seas hold perils, so we must follow a set path on this trip. We’re tracing the same route from my prior journey!" Li Shiming informed Yin Shilan.

He displayed the nautical chart, highlighting the path.

Though he wished to shield her from risks, he deemed it essential to teach her fundamental Cultivation World survival skills.

With eager interest, Yin Shilan absorbed this information, vicariously sharing Li Shiming’s past travels.

The ’White Emperor Light Cloud Boat’ soared past the coast into the open sea, where the horizon’s endless blue expanse left her mesmerized.

Confined to her cave residence for a century, this boundless ocean vista now seized her spirit.

Li Shiming observed her rapt expression, smiling; he too had felt such awe once.

Only by plunging into the deep seas does the world’s immensity truly dawn.

In the ensuing days, the pair stayed close, their conversations flowing without end.

Yin Shilan had freshly solidified her realm, the perfect moment for such travels. This sea journey suited ideally.

From Beishu Continent to Dongqi Continent, the ’White Emperor Light Cloud Boat’ traveled at moderate pace, arriving in just one month.

Half a month into the voyage, Yin Shilan detected the rising Spiritual Energy density, highlighting how meager it had been back home.

"Next to the Beishu Continent, this feels like a paradise of immortals!" Yin Shilan marveled upon sighting the Dongqi Continent’s shores.

The abundant Spiritual Energy, coupled with offshore arrays for snaring sea beasts, set it worlds apart from the Beishu Continent.

In the Beishu Continent, no cultivator bothered hunting sea beasts; Nascent Soul experts even pacted with nearby sea beasts to prevent clashes.

Even onshore, fierce spirit beasts claimed territories off-limits to human cultivators.

Yet the Dongqi Continent showed human cultivators pushing beyond land resources into the seas. Here, the balance between humans and sea beasts diverged sharply from the Beishu Continent.

"In the grand Cultivation World, the Dongqi Continent ranks as a low-end one, just a notch above the Beishu Continent!" Li Shiming clarified with a chuckle.

Yin Shilan’s face registered shock, his statement revealing the Beishu Continent’s even humbler standing in the Cultivation World than she’d imagined.

Evidently, the Beishu Continent’s thousand-year isolation had causes, and even against the Cultivation World’s lowly Dongqi Continent, the Beishu Continent paled like an ordinary realm from those other lands.
