Chapter 638 Midterm



In Li Shiming's cave of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, he has not found his breakthrough opportunity for two years, but now he no longer needs it.

After two years of accumulation, the bottleneck that stood in his way of a breakthrough had become as thin as a piece of paper. He felt that he could break it with just a slight touch.

The five Nascent Souls in his body were all cultivating, and it was rare for him to devote all his mind to the understanding of the Five Elements without being distracted by other things.

After two years of continuous understanding and research on the Five Elements, he has a deeper understanding of the Five Elements.

This was reflected in the five Nascent Souls. When the spiritual powers of the five Nascent Souls reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage and could not be further improved, the purity of their spiritual powers was improved a little.

"Open it for me!" Li Shiming shouted in a deep voice.

His mind was extremely focused, and the five Nascent Souls also had serious expressions on their faces. The five Nascent Souls worked together to attack the bottleneck of the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Without much effort, the bottleneck was instantly broken through with the impact of the five Nascent Souls.

The energy that was originally abundant in the bodies of the five Nascent Souls became less as the Nascent Souls grew.

In fact, it is not that the energy has decreased, but the nature of the energy has changed. When the Nascent Soul is promoted to the middle stage, not only does the Nascent Soul itself become larger, but the quality of the energy that constitutes the Nascent Soul also increases several times.

If we compare the spiritual power at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage with the spiritual power at the beginning of the middle Nascent Soul stage, the ratio is not always seven to one.

It takes seven portions of peak Nascent Soul early stage spiritual power to be transformed into one portion of Nascent Soul middle stage spiritual power. In addition, as the Nascent Soul itself grows larger, the energy in the Nascent Soul naturally becomes much less.

With the advancement to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul comes a brand new feeling, which is the feeling of re-examining the Way of the Five Elements from the perspective of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Different from the previous early Nascent Soul stage, when I was speculating on the comprehension of the Five Elements in the middle Nascent Soul stage, now that I have truly advanced to the middle Nascent Soul stage, my comprehension of the Five Elements is real and clearer.

Even after Li Shiming was promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, his understanding of the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code' was greatly improved.

Of course, the comprehension of the gold-attributed martial art 'Sword Intent Soaring into the Sky' has been greatly enhanced due to the comprehension of the middle-stage Nascent Soul of the Five Elements Gold, and has also reached the middle-stage Nascent Soul level.

What he didn't expect was that when his understanding of the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, his clone Li Yuanba gained great benefits.

No matter what method is used, it is impossible to completely impart one's own understanding of a certain realm to other cultivators. Many parts of this understanding are indescribable, it is purely an inexplicable feeling.

However, the clone Li Yuanba and the original body Li Shiming shared all perceptions, which allowed Li Yuanba to feel every detailed process of the original body Li Shiming's breakthrough.

Originally, in Li Shiming's idea, he had broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and his clone Li Yuanba could only share some of his breakthrough experience through his promotion.

But he never expected that after his clone Li Yuanba shared Li Shiming's understanding of the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky', Li Yuanba's bottleneck in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul began to loosen.

Li Yuanba had only reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage a few days ago, and he was still consolidating his realm at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

All of his cultivation in the early stage of Nascent Soul was forcibly improved by the "Sword Transformed into Spiritual Liquid". He thought that it would take at least several years of continuous training before he could try to break through the realm.

But he skipped this process directly. He could feel that the bottleneck could be broken at any time.

Li Yuanba's mind turned into a flying sword and slashed towards the bottleneck of the middle Nascent Soul stage.

After the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul was hit by the flying sword of the mind, it was broken without any resistance.

He felt the changes in the Nascent Soul in his body. The Nascent Soul grew larger, and the energy that had finally filled his body was mostly gone, leaving only a shallow layer.

At the same time, under the influence of the Nascent Soul, his body was slowly getting stronger, and the runes of the skills in various parts of the body were sublimating under this influence, sublimating into the runes of the middle Nascent Soul level.

This enhancement process still takes some time. His sword body is constantly improving from the early Nascent Soul level to the middle Nascent Soul level.

The successive breakthroughs of the original body and the clone were definitely a surprise to Li Shiming.

It was not without reason that his clone Li Yuanba broke through the bottleneck under his leadership. He had never practiced the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' that Li Yuanba had practiced before.

But in the early stage of Nascent Soul, Li Shiming used some means to force Jin Lei Nascent Soul to practice the "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky Art".

It was just a wild idea at first. Even though he had mastered the most advanced sword technique, 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky', he only regarded 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' as a secondary technique and did not take it too seriously.

But who would have thought that as he was promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, his understanding of the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' was elevated to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and it actually directly allowed his clone Li Yuanba to be promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul as well.

He had never heard of this kind of phenomenon in the Myriad Beasts Sect, or Li Yuanba in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. It seemed that this was probably a unique experience in the world of immortal cultivation.

As Li Shiming was thinking, the five Nascent Souls in his body were also changing.

The spiritual power of the five Nascent Souls that had been promoted to the initial stage of the middle Nascent Soul stage was continuously transformed under the effect of the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Formation' formed by the five Nascent Souls, and turned into a smaller amount of peak spiritual power of the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Although the amount of spiritual power has decreased, its power has been increased to a stronger level.

As his realm improved, the bottleneck that originally bound his physical body disappeared, and his "Taiqing Xuangui Jue" was upgraded from the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage to the middle Nascent Soul stage.

His spiritual practice, 'The Art of Human Reincarnation', was also upgraded to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and his spirit became several times stronger.

Li Shiming now truly feels the power of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Just talking about the body of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, even if he has not practiced any body-refining techniques, just the slow nourishment of the Nascent Soul in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is enough to strengthen his body to the point where he can withstand the attacks of a weaker cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.

Not to mention the mid-Nascent Soul cultivators who have practiced body-refining techniques, whose physical strength is enough to withstand the magic weapons of ordinary early-Nascent Soul cultivators.

The gap between each small realm in the Nascent Soul stage is so huge that it is almost a leap-forward difference.

In terms of spiritual power, Li Shiming can be 100% sure that one spiritual power from a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is enough to destroy ten spiritual powers from a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.

Not to mention that if a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul wants to defeat a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, he doesn't need to use any strong means at all. The realm suppression alone can prevent the cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul from exerting his strength.

After Li Shiming broke through the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he still remained in seclusion in the cave for three months.

During this period, he used the 'Purple Thunder Plasma' to practice, and the spiritual power storage in the five Nascent Souls reached one-fifth of the level of the middle Nascent Soul, and the 'Purple Thunder Plasma' was completely consumed.

He has the combat power of a mid-stage Nascent Soul, and this is really thanks to the 'Purple Thunder Plasma', a treasure for thunder cultivation. Otherwise, it would take at least several years to develop this combat power.

After he possessed the combat power of a mid-Nascent Soul stage, he came out of seclusion.

There was no way. He still had many things that he could not do at the Wanshou Sect's mountain gate. And the most important thing was that his clone Li Yuanba needed his elixir support.

When he separated from his clone Li Yuanba, he did not expect that Li Yuanba's breakthrough would be so fast, so among the resources prepared for Li Yuanba, there was no fourth-grade spiritual pill for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to assist in cultivation.

Now in Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, although Li Yuanba has the bonus effect of Sword Cave Heaven on the practice of "Jade Purity Thunder Code", but without the support of cultivation elixir, the slow speed of practice makes Li Yuanba unbearable.

Having enjoyed the thrill of extremely fast cultivation, Li Yuanba's cultivation speed can now be described as a snail's pace.

Fortunately, he has only just entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, which is the period when it is easiest to accumulate spiritual power.

If the spiritual power in his Nascent Soul reaches a certain level, even in a cultivation environment like the 'Sword Cave Heaven', without the help of a fourth-grade cultivation auxiliary elixir for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, let alone improving his cultivation, it would be good enough if he could barely maintain his realm.

From this we can also know the importance of cultivation resources to cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Originally, the delivery of the fourth-grade elixir to assist in cultivation in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul could be done by Zhongzhou Trading Company. Li Shiming asked Zhongzhou Trading Company to deliver the elixir as a guest official. The elixir was kept sufficiently confidential, and Zhongzhou Trading Company would not check what the elixir was.

But Li Shiming had other things to do. He wanted to meet his clone Li Yuanba, so he was thinking about going to Zhongzhou Continent.

In the past, he was not good at long voyages because they were very unsafe.

But now it is different. He has been promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and once he has mastered some methods, the combat power he can display among the cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul can be regarded as the top combat power among them.

With such strength, he can definitely sail safely on the ocean.

However, if he wants to leave the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, especially under the current circumstances, he still needs to apply to his master, Master Hu.

Although the war in Dongqi Continent ended due to the withdrawal of Yuqing Sect, the subsequent impact did not stop.

Li Shiming left the cave and flew in the air towards the Four Symbols Cave.

"Is it Master Li? Master Li has been promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul?" A Nascent Soul cultivator was flying and met Li Shiming head-on. He looked at Li Shiming in disbelief.

Perhaps Li Shiming didn’t know many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, but there were very few Nascent Soul cultivators in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect who didn’t know Li Shiming.

Especially with the arrival of the female cultivators from Luanfeng Palace, Li Shiming's ability to refine the fourth-grade elixir of a great cultivator could no longer be concealed, which further elevated his status in alchemy.

Li Shiming did not pay attention to the Nascent Soul cultivator who passed by. He was not familiar with the Nascent Soul cultivator, not even his face.

He flew all the way to the Four Symbols Cave Heaven, and every cultivator who saw him had an extremely horrified look on his face.

The early stage of Nascent Soul within a hundred years old and the middle stage of Nascent Soul within a hundred years old are completely different concepts.

Although they are all top geniuses, those in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul under the age of 100 are geniuses among geniuses. Even in a sect as large as the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, it is rare to see one in thousands of years.

Li Shiming sent out a magic spell to ask to see his master, Master Hu.

Master Hu opened the formation of the cave and let him enter.

"You..." The spiritual clone of Master Hu was about to speak, but suddenly stopped. Although it was just a spiritual clone, it also had the ability to perceive and discovered the changes in Li Shiming's cultivation.

"Greetings, Master. I have made a breakthrough!" Li Shiming bowed and reported with a smile.

"I was just wondering when you would break through, but I didn't expect you to break through now!" Monk Hu reacted quickly and said.

Come to think of it, more than two years ago, Li Shiming's aura showed that he was about to break through. Now that Li Shiming has broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, it is reasonable.

But even so, this is a breakthrough to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

It would be reasonable to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul within a hundred years. You must know that although Li Shiming is the core cultivator of Wanshou Sect, the resources provided by Wanshou Sect to Li Shiming are extremely limited.

As Li Shiming's master, Master Hu knew how much help he had given to Li Shiming. Even for an ordinary Nascent Soul early stage cultivator, that help was nothing. How could he help Li Shiming advance to the Nascent Soul middle stage?

All the resources are due to Li Shiming's own efforts and opportunities, which enabled Li Shiming to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul so quickly.

"It's a good thing to have a breakthrough. Even your realm has stabilized. What are your thoughts on coming here this time?" Great Monk Hu asked.

"I am now in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and I want to go out and travel to hone myself!" Li Shiming explained his purpose.

"It should be so, but you should stay for a while longer. The two great monks of Luanfeng Palace would like you to help them refine pills. Also, give me some time to prepare a gift for your promotion!" Monk Hu said helplessly, spreading his hands.

The great monk of Luanfeng Palace waited for two years. Although he was on garrison duty during his stay in Wanshou Sect, he could not let the great monk of Luanfeng Palace continue to wait after Li Shiming came out of seclusion.

In addition, Li Shiming's breakthrough was too sudden, and Master Hu was not prepared at all, and he didn't even consider preparing a gift for Li Shiming.

It is not easy to be a master. When a disciple has a great breakthrough in his realm, the master will usually give him a reward.

"Then I will stay here for a few more months and finish the alchemy work in Luanfeng Palace before leaving!" Li Shiming thought about it and decided not to refuse Master Hu, so he nodded and said.

This is a good opportunity for me to get in touch with Zhongzhou Trading Company. I have been in seclusion for the past two years and have not had any contact with the outside world.

He also had to visit his senior brother Zhong Qiang before leaving and prepare some elixirs for him. This was what he had agreed to do in the first place.

"Thank you for your hard work. The sect has decided on the compensation you will receive during your retreat. Now it seems the compensation has to be changed again!" Great Monk Hu thought of an important thing and said with a smile.
