The promotion of the Thunder Beast to the fifth grade brought a huge increase in its lightning power. It was basically an instinct for it to launch lightning attacks. It could launch a large number of lightning attacks instantly, making it impossible for the enemy to block the paralyzing effect of lightning.
In the battle between Li Shiming and Lu Wei, the terrifying effect of lightning paralysis was demonstrated.
The great man Lu Wei was paralyzed by the lightning, which allowed him to completely withstand Li Shiming's fatal blow.
The 'Silver-winged Spirit Guworm' was promoted to the fifth grade, and its soul-devouring ability can act on any fifth-grade or powerful being. The danger level of this ability is no less than those offensive abilities.
When the soul-devouring ability is used, the enemy will lose control of energy for a short period of time.
After being promoted to the fifth grade, the 'Silver Wing Spirit Gu Bug' can activate its soul-devouring ability as long as it is allowed to enter the enemy's range of 100 meters.
Finally, there are 108 "Immortal Water Bears". The reason why "Immortal Water Bears" are of the greatest help to Li Shiming is that after "Immortal Water Bears" are promoted to the fifth grade, they can become Li Shiming's strongest defense.
Each 'Immortal Water Bear' possesses unimaginable defensive power. When they are half a step to the fifth level, they can block any attack of the same level. Even if they are below the level, they can still provide a certain defensive effect.
The vitality of the fifth-grade 'Immortal Water Bear' has almost increased tenfold. Combined with the recovery ability of the 'Immortal Water Bear', it is very difficult for Li Shiming to kill a fifth-grade 'Immortal Water Bear' without using his full strength.
And when one hundred and eight 'immortal water bears' formed a formation armor, even if Li Shiming attacked with all his strength, he could not break its defense.
One hundred and eight "immortal water bears" can withstand all attacks and distribute them to all the "immortal water bears".
In order to break through the formation armor of one hundred and eight 'immortal water bears', one needs to have the strength to kill one hundred and eight 'immortal water bears' instantly at the same time.
Anyway, unless Li Shiming consumes all the energy in the cave and uses the treasure 'Fractal Shadow Flag' to split into 108 selves, and each of them attacks with all their strength, there is only a slight possibility of breaking through the formation armor.
If less energy from the cave is used, it cannot be done.
With the resilience of the 'immortal water bears', as long as they cannot be killed instantly, their resilience will allow them to return to their best condition.
With one hundred and eight fifth-grade 'Immortal Water Bears', Li Shiming suddenly felt a great increase in security.
After this large-scale ferry movement, he will need to go into seclusion for a long time.
These spirit pets all need some time to stabilize their realm, and he also needs to use IBMz15 to study their abilities.
Why did his and his clones' strength improve so quickly? IBMz15's continuous analysis and research played an extremely important role in this.
The most difficult thing for a powerful person to improve his strength is to understand the rules.
The powerful ones observe the rules of their own caves for a long time, and improve their mastery of the rules through the understanding of the rules of the caves.
This is an extremely slow process and requires extremely strong talent. Many powerful people are unable to improve their strength because they are stuck in their understanding of the rules.
IBMz15 studies the abilities of spirit pets and is able to study their understanding and application of rules from the aspects in which they are good at, thereby drawing on Li Shiming's understanding of the rules.
In addition, he will need to refine elixirs continuously for many years to come.
Li Yuanba accepted quite a few alchemy commissions, especially when the news spread that Lu Wei wanted to pull Li Shiming into the Immortal Alliance and monopolize the fifth-grade high-level elixir. Even though Lu Wei had passed away, many powerful people were still worried that things might change.
The powerful man who originally wanted to keep some contribution points for backup also exchanged his contribution points for fifth-grade elixirs and sent them to Li Yuanba to entrust him with refining the elixir.
After the death of the great Lu Wei, the Land of Fallen Immortals became strangely quiet for a long period of time.
The Divine Realm is recovering, and even the missions related to the Divine Realm have become much fewer. On the Immortal Realm side, the Eastern System of the Immortal Alliance’s investigation has been fruitless, and the investigation is at a stalemate.
The only lively place is the Qixianju, where powerful people come to visit from time to time.
It is said that many powerful people took advantage of the period when the divine realm was recovering its vitality to leave the Land of Fallen Immortals and return to their own sects to obtain fifth-grade elixirs from the sects, just to be able to refine fifth-grade high-level elixirs.
At first, these powerful people were only thinking about themselves. They wanted to reduce the number of tasks in the Immortal Alliance. If they wanted to obtain more fifth-grade elixirs, they had to think of other ways and then return to the sect.
But by the time the news reached the sect, the news that there was a powerful person in the Land of Falling Immortals who could refine fifth-grade high-level elixirs spread to various places where immortals were cultivated, and various super powers used various means to send fifth-grade elixirs to the Land of Falling Immortals.
Li Yuanba was also depressed. He was getting busier and busier. More and more powerful people came to register for alchemy commissions, and the frequency was increasing, far exceeding the theoretical limit of the Land of Fallen Immortals.
Until this day, the great master Ding Feng invited several other great masters from the Seven Immortals Residence to gather together.
"Brother Ding, it's rare that you take the initiative to entertain us!" said the great man Yi Yan, smiling as he looked at the spiritual fruits and spiritual wine in front of him.
Master Ding Feng is a great sword cultivator. He does not grow any spiritual fruits in his cave, so his hospitality items need to be exchanged.
"Brother Yi, I asked you all to come here to say goodbye to you all. I need to go back to the sect!" Master Ding Feng ignored Master Yi Yan's teasing and waved his hand.
"What happened in your sect? Do you need help?" The great man Yi Yan asked in a deep voice with a serious expression.
He and Ding Feng had been friends for many years, and they were close friends. Hearing what Ding Feng said, he was naturally a little worried.
The sect will take the initiative to contact the powerful people in the Land of Fallen Immortals only when the sect is in great trouble.
Just like in Zhongzhou, the Yuqing Sect sent out a message asking fellow disciples in Luoxian Land to return, as the sect was in a life-and-death situation.
"It's all Yuanba's fault!" Ding Feng pointed at Li Shiming and said helplessly.
"Brother Ding, I didn't do anything. I was born in Zhongzhou, which is too far away from your sect!" Upon hearing this, Li Yuanba quickly shook his head.
"My sect has learned about Li Shizhen's alchemy ability and is preparing to entrust all the fifth-grade elixirs accumulated by the sect to Li Shizhen to be refined into fifth-grade high-level elixirs. Isn't this asking me to return to the sect!" Ding Feng went on to explain.
After hearing his explanation, both Master Yi Yan and Master Lin Jing laughed.
This matter has nothing to do with them. Li Shiming was born in Zhongzhou. The fifth-grade elixirs accumulated by the super powers in Zhongzhou had almost been refined by them before Li Shiming came.
There won't be much left in the short term, so there's no need for them to return to Zhongzhou.
"I was wondering why there were so many extra fifth-grade elixirs. So this is how it is!" It was the first time that Li Yuanba knew about this, and he suddenly realized.
It is impossible for the powerful person who came to ask for the elixir to tell the origin of the fifth-grade elixir.
They were also afraid that if they said too much, Li Shiming would refuse, so the powerful people formed a tacit understanding. If it weren't for the powerful Ding Feng from the Seven Immortals Residence who received the news from the sect, they might not have known about this matter.
"Brother Ding, just go back. The Divine Realm has been very quiet lately anyway!" said the great Yi Yan with a smile.
"Li Taibai is not far from the Seven Immortals Residence. Even if there is any big action in the Divine Realm, Li Taibai will be able to arrive in time!" In order to reassure Ding Feng, Li Yuanba told Ding Feng the news about Li Taibai.
Ding Feng knew how powerful Li Bai was from Lin Jing.
"In that case, I will leave today and will be back within a year!" In fact, what Ding Feng was most worried about was the safety of Qixianju. He smiled when he heard the news.
In fact, he was worrying too much. With Li Yuanba's strength, there would be no problem in defending Qixianju.
It’s just that every powerful person thought that Li Yuanba’s ten thousand energy-transformed flying swords were stimulated by consuming massive amounts of cave energy, so they misjudged Li Yuanba’s combat power.
As for Li Shiming, since the 'Chaos Immortal Fire' was fused with three more fifth-grade immortal fires, the time he spent on refining the fifth-grade elixir was shortened by five days.
Don't underestimate five days, he has been refining the elixir continuously, so the time saved is considerable.
As the years passed, a large number of fifth-grade advanced elixirs had a significant impact on the strength of human beings, and many powerful people who had no hope of improving their strength made further progress.
In particular, the number of mid-term powerful beings has experienced explosive growth, which has comprehensively improved the overall strength of human powerful beings.
Since human powerful beings have extremely long lifespans and are concentrated in the Land of Fallen Immortals, their number is very large, and some of them are stuck at bottlenecks for various reasons.
The caves of the powerful ones are enhanced with 'exotic spiritual crystals'. Although 'exotic spiritual crystals' are difficult to obtain, they are not impossible to obtain.
As for the understanding of rules, over the long years, there will always be some powerful people who will gain something.
But the powerful body needs a fifth-grade elixir to be strengthened.
In the past, the fifth-grade elixir was one of the important reasons that restricted the powerful from improving their physical bodies. Therefore, among the powerful people who were stuck in the bottleneck, there were many who were stuck for this reason.
With the fifth-grade advanced elixir refined by Li Shiming, many powerful people have made up for this shortcoming after taking the fifth-grade advanced elixir, and of course a large number of powerful people will be promoted to the middle stage.
It had been one hundred and twenty years since Li Shiming had been refining the elixir, and this wave of alchemy had finally come to an end.
It is hard to imagine that there would be so many fifth-grade elixirs brought from so many places for cultivating immortals. On average, one furnace of fifth-grade elixirs is refined every month, and it took one hundred and twenty years to complete this round of refining commissions.
You should know that he collected one fifth-grade spiritual medicine for every furnace of fifth-grade elixir he refined.
In other words, in the past one hundred and twenty years, he has handled nearly three thousand fifth-grade spiritual medicines.
This is a fifth-grade spiritual medicine, which can only be produced once every hundred years in each cave.
Now he doesn't have to worry about the fifth-grade elixir anymore. It would be enough even if he, Li Yuanba, Li Taibai and Yin Shilan all took saturated amounts of the fifth-grade elixir.
In addition, Li Shiming himself had thirty-six fifth-grade top-level elixirs in his hands, which was his biggest gain.
It is impossible to describe the effect of a top-grade fifth-grade elixir. Due to the special nature of the fifth-grade elixir, it takes almost one hundred furnaces of refining fifth-grade elixirs before the medicinal power can be accumulated in the furnace to condense into a top-grade elixir.
During the one hundred and twenty years, in addition to making great gains in alchemy, the energy in his cave also reached the total amount required for promotion to a late-stage great power. However, he did not get promoted immediately, but instead laid a solid foundation.
The promotion to the late stage of great power is an extremely important promotion, and he dare not take it lightly.
Not only did he meet the requirements for promotion, but Li Yuanba and Li Taibai also met the requirements for promotion, and even Yin Shilan met the standards for promotion to a mid-level great power.
Yin Shilan is weak in every aspect, but she has the help of Li Shiming, and her weakness is relative.
Take her cave energy output for example, it is more than a hundred times that of ordinary powerful beings.
As for the physical body, with a large number of fifth-grade high-level elixirs, it is easy to replenish the strength of the physical body.
The most difficult part is understanding the rules. Li Shiming analyzed Yin Shilan through IBMz15 and summarized a course to help Yin Shilan improve his understanding of the rules.
Li Shiming's comprehension of the rules has reached the level of a late-stage great power. With his guidance of Yin Shilan and the analysis conclusions of IBMz15, even if Yin Shilan's comprehension is poor, with shortcuts, he can still meet the conditions for promotion.
The rest of Li Shiming's fifth-grade spiritual pets continued to devour spiritual beasts in the 'Ancient Spiritual Beast Breeding Farm'. After so many years of growth, they were all promoted to the middle fifth-grade.
The promotion of the spirit pets was very smooth. The improvement of the spirit pets by the 'Ancient Spirit Beast Breeding Farm' was a subtle and silent enhancement.
The two fifth-grade mid-stage 'Holy Spirits' successfully advanced to the late stage. They had already reached the peak of the fifth-grade mid-stage because they had devoured the 'Holy Spirit' energy in the altar.
Over the years, IBMz15's research on the Golden Saint has improved the two fifth-grade mid-stage 'Holy Spirits'' understanding of the 'Holy Spirit' rules, which has enabled them to reach the fifth-grade late stage.
However, the combat power of a fifth-grade late-stage 'Holy Spirit' is far behind that of a fifth-grade late-stage Golden Saint. Even if two fifth-grade late-stage 'Holy Spirits' fight together, it is far from enough for a Golden Saint to face a fifth-grade late-stage 'Holy Spirit'.
Among all the spirit pets, the only one whose combat power was minimally improved was the Golden Saint.
The strength of Jin Sheng was originally too high. Over a hundred years, it had only become more proficient in applying the rules of the 'Holy Spirit'. As for the enhancement of the broken godhead's ability to absorb energy on its own, it could be said to be negligible.
According to IBMz15's calculations, if the broken divine nature were to be allowed to recover by absorbing energy on its own, even if it took ten thousand years, it would still be impossible for the remaining divine nature to be restored to its complete state.
But even so, Li Shiming's overall strength has been greatly enhanced.
If he were to face a late-stage powerful being again, he wouldn't need to use a large amount of cave sky energy to deal with him.
Of course, this is the case when he has not yet been promoted to the late stage of great power. Once he is promoted to the late stage of great power, the late stage great power will no longer pose any threat to him.
After completing all the alchemy commissions, whether due to psychological reasons or because his own accumulation had reached certain conditions, Li Shiming felt that the time had come to advance to the late stage, and he decided to advance to the late stage that day.
