Li Shiming prepared for the worst and made full preparations.

His spiritual consciousness slowly penetrated into the core heart of the cave's gold system, and then entered the space opened up in it.

The space has been carefully arranged, and a huge golden sword stands in the space, supporting the space like a pillar.

Next to the huge golden sword, there was a person sitting.

It would be better to say that it was a corpse rather than a person, but even though this corpse was dead, the aura of the flesh made it impossible for Li Shiming's spiritual sense to approach.

"Don't disturb my master, let my master sleep peacefully!" Just when Li Shiming's consciousness was about to try to approach the corpse again, a faint consciousness came from the golden sword beside him.

He was slightly startled. It turned out that the real core of the cave was this golden sword. He used the soul-forbidden talisman to seal the heart outside, but did not directly act on the golden sword. However, it allowed the spirit of the weapon to retain a trace of consciousness.

This consciousness was unable to contact the outside world because of the forbidden spirit talisman, but when his spiritual consciousness invaded this space, he could not help but make a request.

Li Shiming did not let his spiritual consciousness get close to the corpse again. He began to observe the corpse.

The corpse should be that of Lang Cai, a powerful being who stood at the top of the world of immortal cultivation but ultimately failed to achieve ascension and stopped here.

"I won't disturb the sleep of the great Lang Cai, but I need your help to control the gold rules of the cave outside for me!" Li Shiming's spiritual consciousness came into contact with the golden sword, and he conveyed his thoughts with his spiritual consciousness.

"As long as you don't disturb my master's sleep, I agree to your request!" The spirit of the weapon was straightforward and agreed immediately.

Li Shiming felt a little regretful. Perhaps if Li Yuanba had threatened Lang Cai's powerful body in the cave, he might have really become the master of the cave. In that case, the cave would not have been destroyed.

But this is just a guess. Judging from the means left behind by Lang Cai, it is more likely that Li Yuanba will be severely injured or even destroyed by the means left behind by Lang Cai.

"I will seal this space and will not disturb the sleep of the great Lang Cai, but you need to leave here and find shelter in the space outside!" Li Shiming did not force him, he said to the spirit of the weapon.

The weapon spirit is still dominated by Lang Cai, if he is forcibly subdued, he might do something extreme.

In addition, choosing to use Lang Cai's powerful physical body as a threat is also the worst plan. Perhaps the weapon spirit will really be threatened, but there is another possibility that the weapon spirit will self-destruct.

After all, the spirit of an artifact is not a truly intelligent life form, and its wisdom has a limit.

Li Shiming removed the forbidden spirit talisman outside, and the golden sword began to glow.

The golden sword shrank into the size of a small flying sword and flew around the seated Lang Cai. Finally, it took the initiative to contact Li Shiming's consciousness and released its own recognition rune.

Li Shiming did not hesitate, cast a spell to recognize the master, and flew towards the golden flying sword.

He felt that the golden flying sword seemed to resist, but it was only a slight resistance, as if it was an instinct, and then it gave up resistance.

The master recognition formula was imprinted into the master recognition rune, and Li Shiming felt a connection between himself and the golden flying sword.

"A spiritual treasure-level flying sword!" Li Shiming was slightly surprised. He did not expect that the core of this cave was actually a spiritual treasure-level flying sword. This might be the magical weapon of the great Lang Cai.

"New master, I only agree to control the gold rules for the cave heaven, and I will not become your weapon of attack!" The spirit of the weapon said to him through the mark of recognition.

Li Shiming was even more surprised, he had never seen a magic weapon that, after recognizing its master, had its own ideas and negotiated power with the master.

He checked the mark of recognition and found that it was indeed successful.

And from what he perceived, he had 100% control over this magical flying sword. It was not like his own magical weapon that was stolen, which he only had half control over and could only exert half of its power.

This can only mean one thing, that is, the spirit of this magical flying sword, which was cultivated by the great Lang Cai, is extremely independent and has already developed its own thoughts.

"Of course, what I promised will not change!" Li Shiming conveyed his meaning.

He had no intention of disturbing the physical body of the great Lang Cai. Not to mention that his spiritual consciousness could not get close to the physical body of the great Lang Cai, even if he could get close, he had no means to use the physical body of the great Lang Cai.

The body of the powerful Lang Cai is so powerful that it is far beyond what he can covet now.

Besides, this is the corpse of a powerful person. If he really refines the body of the powerful Lang Cai into a refined corpse or something else, he can't guarantee that other powerful people will kill him directly after discovering this.

He couldn't even guarantee whether this powerful Lang Cai had any powerful friends who would hold him accountable for insulting the powerful man's corpse.

Anyway, he originally just wanted the Cave Heaven Gold Core and didn't think about anything else.

The golden flying sword flew away from the heart space, and Li Shiming did not break his promise. He sealed the heart space again with the Forbidden Soul Talisman and put it into the Forbidden Soul Jade Box.

He placed the Forbidden Spirit Jade Box in the soil under the sacred tree, and the spirit in the golden flying sword could monitor the jade box at any time.

The spirit in the golden flying sword saw Li Shiming's operation and was very satisfied with Li Shiming's keeping his promise. It began to mobilize the golden flying sword, and lines of gold rules spread out from the sword body.

"This is an unfinished cave heaven. With your level of cultivation, you should not have such a cave heaven. Although this cave heaven completes the five elements, you still need to reach the entry-level understanding of all the five elements rules before you can truly transform this cave heaven into your cave heaven and use this cave heaven as the foundation of Mahayana!" While emitting the gold rules, the spirit of the weapon checked the situation in the cave heaven in its own way, and put forward its opinions to Li Shiming.

This time Li Shiming was truly shocked. He was still only a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Not to mention that he could not return to the sect, even if he returned to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would not be able to provide him with relevant cultivation experience as a powerful being.

As for the clone Li Yuanba, with Li Yuanba's identity, he must at least reach the level of a great cultivator to be qualified to access the Mahayana knowledge of the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.

And this spirit of the weapon actually mastered the knowledge of the Mahayana period and was able to give him guidance.

This is even more important than obtaining the final gold rule to complete the Half-Life Cave Heaven. He knows his direction.

Although the 'Heavenly Art' also contains cultivation content for the Mahayana period, since the 'Heavenly Art' does not have the cultivation experience of predecessors, many of the contents require him to understand and practice according to his understanding.

With the guidance of the golden flying sword's spirit, he might be able to avoid taking detours in his advancement to the Mahayana stage.

After the golden flying sword recognized its master, Li Shiming also learned the name of the golden flying sword, which was called "Golden Rainbow Sword".

The spirit of the Golden Rainbow Sword is the most intelligent of all his spirits.

This is normal. The refining time of all his spiritual treasures is not long. Even if the formed spirit is extraordinary, it still takes time to grow.

The time it takes for the spirit of any spiritual treasure to grow is at least a hundred years. A hundred years can only make the spirit of a spiritual treasure barely usable. It will take hundreds or even thousands of years for the spirit to grow to sufficient wisdom.

Of course, the growth of a weapon spirit does not only require time, but also requires the cultivation of the master and the nurturing of a large amount of knowledge.

The spirit of the Golden Rainbow Sword has followed the great Lang Cai for countless years, and has memorized a lot of cultivation experience through learning from him.

In the understanding of the spirit of the weapon, as long as Li Shiming settles the original owner, this knowledge can be told to the new owner without reservation. Anyway, the original owner did not impose any restrictions in this regard.

For the first time, Li Shiming realized that this half-life cave could completely become his own cave.

With this cave as a foundation, one can make the leap from a great cultivator to the Mahayana stage in one step.

"You are the spirit of the Jinhong Sword. From now on, I will call you Jinhong. If I obtain a complete powerful cave, can I use that cave as the foundation for my advancement to the Mahayana stage?" Li Shiming thought for a while and asked.

Before this question, the clone Li Yuanba had received an explanation from Wu Qi, but Wu Qi was only a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, so it was really hard to say whether the answer he gave was accurate.

He wanted to get an accurate answer from the weapon spirit Jin Hong so that he could be better prepared.

"Master, your aura does not match the aura of my original master. I can sense the five elements and lightning in your body. This cave is more suitable for you. It is not appropriate for you to merge the cave with my original master!" replied the spirit of the weapon, Jin Hong.

The wisdom of the weapon spirit Jin Hong is indeed very high. Although it was a wrong guess, that was also because the weapon spirit Jin Hong was sealed by the forbidden spirit talisman before Lang Daneng's cave collapsed, and he could not understand the situation outside the cave.

It also thought that Li Shiming was planning to use the cave heaven of the powerful Lang Cai as a foundation to advance to the Mahayana stage.

"It's not your previous master's cave. Your previous master's cave has collapsed!" Li Shiming said without any intention of hiding it.

"I hope my original owner won't blame me for not taking good care of the cave after he wakes up!" Upon hearing the news, the spirit of the artifact, Jin Hong, actually revealed a look of sadness.

The spirit of the weapon has emotions, and these emotions are not simulated but true feelings, which once again confirms the wisdom of the spirit of the weapon, Jin Hong.

"If there is an ownerless cave that is perfectly compatible with your skills, it can become the foundation for your advancement to the Mahayana stage!" The spirit of the weapon, Jin Hong, expressed his emotions quickly, and it went on to answer Li Shiming's previous question.

"I have another question. I have five Nascent Souls. Do I need to prepare to open up five caves of heaven?" Li Shiming finally found someone he could trust and who had sufficient knowledge reserves, so he asked the question that concerned him most.

This time, the weapon spirit Jin Hong hesitated for about a cup of tea. Li Shiming's question made its knowledge reserves insufficient.

Having followed the great Lang Cai for thousands of years, it can be said that it has a wide range of knowledge, but it has never heard of a Nascent Soul cultivator having five Nascent Souls.

In order to verify his situation, Li Shiming had one Yuanying (primordial infant) after another leave his body above his head.

Five Yuanyings were suspended in the air, and terrifying chaotic energy fluctuations were surging in the body of each Yuanying.

"I can't answer this question, but I can be sure that although the master can be promoted to the Mahayana stage, if he wants to go further, he needs all five Nascent Souls to open up a cave heaven and cultivate the cave heaven to the extreme!" The spirit of the weapon, Jin Hong, paused for a moment before answering.

Fortunately, Li Shiming was asking the weapon spirit Jin Hong. If he asked this question to any other powerful person, he would probably look at him as if he were a fool.

He has set a very difficult goal for himself. It is already difficult to become a powerful person, and the chance of a powerful person ascending further is extremely small.

However, he increased the difficulty of ascension five times. Other powerful beings only needed to cultivate one cave heaven, but he had to cultivate five cave heavens.

The resources required alone are five times that of other powerful beings, not to mention the energy and time required.

Of course, the five Nascent Souls did not only bring him trouble, but also more powerful strength.

His energy reserves are five times that of other cultivators at the same level. If his Nascent Soul leaves his body and uses his Nascent Soul Dharma Image, he can easily defeat one with five of them, and they are five Nascent Soul Dharma Images that work together perfectly.

When he reaches the Mahayana stage, as long as he opens up a cave-sky, it is equivalent to having one more Mahayana stage combat power. When he opens up five cave-skys, his ultimate combat power will be the combat power of five great powers added together.

"Master, your aura is not the same as the energy in your Nascent Soul. The energy in your Nascent Soul is chaotic energy, which is rumored to be an energy that only ascended monks can control!" Suddenly the spirit of the weapon spoke again.

Li Shiming was stunned again. The ascended monks were monks in the late Mahayana period. Monks in this period were preparing to overcome the calamity and ascend, so they were called ascended monks.

The spirit of the weapon actually described the energy of the 'Heavenly Art' that he practiced as an energy that could only be controlled by ascended monks.

Although he felt that the chaotic energy of the 'Heavenly Art' was very convenient and powerful, he didn't believe that it had reached the level of an ascended monk.

Not to mention the ascended monks, with his current chaotic energy, even with the spiritual treasures and treasures on his body, he can only fight against the great monks.

They are far from the lowest level of powerful beings, so how can they be compared with the ascended monks?

"You said that the chaotic energy in my Nascent Soul body is an energy that can only be controlled by ascended monks. Why don't I feel that this chaotic energy is so powerful?" Li Shiming asked as he thought about it.

"Master, I cannot answer this question. Even the original owner doesn't know much about the ascended monk!" replied the weapon spirit Jin Hong.

Li Shiming then asked some of the questions he had accumulated one by one, especially the many things he didn't understand during his practice of the "Heavenly Art".

The spirit of the weapon, Jin Hong, is like a big encyclopedia, and can provide answers to most of the questions he asks.

Even if there are questions that cannot be answered, some relevant explanations will be given.

During this question and answer period, Li Shiming became clearer and clearer about his own path of cultivation. He no longer had to grope forward as before, but now had a clear path for cultivation.
