Li Shiming felt a little puzzled. He didn't know what was going on. He just extracted the spiritual energy from the cave, but how could he kill a half-step great man?
The half-step great power was too weak. It wasn't long before he was killed by his little tricks.
He planned to spend several months dealing with the matter of half-step great power.
Now the only thing he needs to deal with is the inner demon.
For an inner demon that is trapped in a cave and cannot escape, facing the heavenly ghost is no problem at all.
The reason why Li Shiming did not let the Heavenly Ghost go forward and devour the inner demon was because he was considering the issue of whether the cave heaven could be retained.
No matter how small this cave is, it is also the key experience for a great cultivator to reach the half-step great power. Many great cultivators have failed before establishing a cave.
Yang Xing’s cave heaven of half-step great power is even earlier than the state of half-life cave heaven, and it is almost the first step demonstration of cave heaven establishment.
By studying this cave, Li Shiming was able to gain a lot of experience and solve many problems.
The contents in the classics are somewhat different from reality, and many real things cannot be described clearly in the classics.
If you want to control this cave heaven, you need to consider the problem of the inner demon. After the inner demon is devoured, can the inner demon's control over the cave heaven be transferred to the heavenly ghost?
After thinking for a while, he made a decision.
Anyway, this inner demon is in the cave, and he can't enter the cave.
This is the inner demon transformed by a half-step powerful being. If it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Ghost has a natural ability to restrain the inner demon, I'm afraid that in the world of immortal cultivation, unless a powerful being takes action, no other cultivator would be able to defeat the inner demon.
Li Shiming suddenly discovered that the seal on his Nascent Soul had been lifted without his knowledge.
It seems that the death of this half-step great power has caused the seal to lose its effect.
And in a cave of Yuqing Sect in Xiyan Continent, the figure sitting cross-legged in the void suddenly moved.
As he moved, thunder and lightning struck throughout the cave, as if he was the master of this cave and this world. Any abnormality on his part would trigger a violent reaction in the cave.
"Yang Xing has fallen!" He suppressed the anger he felt when he felt the death of Yang Xing, a half-step great power, and muttered to himself in an unbelievable voice.
As a powerful figure in the Yuqing Sect, he has witnessed the life and death of countless cultivators, many of whom were extremely talented and outstanding people of the time.
But those who can truly reach the level of a half-step great power rarely appear once in a thousand years.
Entering the realm of half-step great power is a catastrophe of life and death. The previous step is the Mahayana stage, becoming the top existence in the world of immortal cultivation. There is no other way, because all other roads lead to death.
However, there are very few Half-Step Great Powers who can be promoted to the Mahayana stage from the Half-Step Great Power, which has caused many great cultivators to not want to or dare to take the step of Half-Step Great Power.
For a superpower like Yuqing Sect, its background is beyond the imagination of the outside world. Perhaps every superpower has hidden strength.
The most recent person in Yuqing Sect to reach the level of a half-step great power is Yang Xing. Since he has only been in this position recently and his cave heaven is still in the early stages of integration, the impact of a mission on him is relatively minimal.
So the almighty chose Yang Xing, and under the almighty's direction, Yang Xing had no choice.
Of course, Yang Xing is not without benefits. After he completes the mission and returns, the powerful will give him a few more sermons to increase his understanding of the rules, and will also reward him with some resources.
After a half-step great power forms a cave heaven and stabilizes it, if he wants to advance to the Mahayana stage, he needs to invest a lot of resources into the cave heaven. These resources are extremely precious and are also related to the future achievements and potential of the half-step great power.
Although Yang Xing didn't know whether he could successfully survive the initial stage of cave-heaven fusion and reach the level of stabilizing the cave-heaven, he had to prepare in advance for the demand for later resources.
"How could he fall?" the powerful man murmured to himself.
In the world of cultivating immortals, only the powerful ones can kill a half-step powerful one.
But Yang Xing went to the Dongqi Continent, where there were no powerful people, not to mention any top-level cultivators. How could Yang Xing die in the Dongqi Continent?
He used a magic spell to transmit a message, asking the Yuqing Sect's Intelligence Department to investigate the situation of Master Wang He. He did not sense the disappearance of Master Wang He's life breath, which meant that Master Wang He was still alive.
As long as we find Master Wang He, we will know what happened.
In the absence of any intelligence coming back, he could do nothing, thinking about how many high-level monks of Yuqing Sect had died for the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl'.
The death of Yang Xing, a half-step great master, caused the possibility of the emergence of a great master in Yuqing Sect to be interrupted for about two to three thousand years.
Every time a half-step powerful being is born, it is equivalent to the appearance of a being with the potential to become a powerful being. Such a half-step powerful being appears every one or two thousand years.
Before the life span of a powerful person in a super power ends, the super power will have an additional chance of having a powerful person appear with every additional half-step powerful person. When a new powerful person appears, the super power can continue for a long time.
Originally, the Yuqing Sect's inheritance was perfect. Every one or two thousand years, a half-step great master would appear. This ensured the continuity of the Yuqing Sect's great masters. Among so many half-step great masters, the probability of a great master appearing was very high.
But there was one person missing, and he was the youngest half-step great master, which caused problems in Yuqing Sect's subsequent plans for the great masters.
No one can guarantee that among the several half-step great powers, Yang Xing is the one who has the opportunity to be promoted to a great power.
The investigation work of Yuqing Sect cannot be allowed by the Intelligence Department to directly investigate Yang Xing, a half-step great man, and the Intelligence Department is also unable to investigate the information of Yang Xing who is in the cave.
Fortunately, there is Master Wang He who can investigate, and Master Wang He’s task is to collect intelligence in the Intelligence Department. The Intelligence Department of Yuqing Sect began to use the highest-level intelligence network.
On Li Shiming's side, he made a decision and confirmed through his sealed Nascent Soul that the half-step great power had fallen.
He gave an order to the Sky Ghost, and the Sky Ghost pounced into the thundercloud without any hesitation.
Other spiritual beings may be afraid of lightning, but the Sky Ghost is different. Its master has practiced the "Jade Purity Thunder Code", and as a spiritual pet, it also has a higher resistance to lightning.
In addition, the thunderclouds in the cave sky were maintained by the spiritual energy of the inner demon. Although they still existed, they were extremely weak in power. Not to mention the sky ghost, even a third-grade spiritual body would be difficult to kill.
The Sky Ghost pounced on the Inner Demon. Its demonic shell made it silent and motionless in front of the Inner Demon. By the time the Sky Ghost opened its mouth and swallowed the Inner Demon, it was too late for the Inner Demon to fight back.
After entering the mouth of the Heavenly Ghost, the strange spiritual power completely destroyed the inner demon's intelligence, turning the inner demon into a ball of dead spiritual energy.
Li Shiming gave the Sky Ghost an order to let it retain control over the thunderclouds as much as possible, so when the Sky Ghost devoured the inner demon, it left behind a strange spiritual block.
Li Shiming sensed that spiritual block through his connection with the Heavenly Ghost.
The spirit block is connected to the intelligence of the Sky Ghost. The spirit block as a whole has not changed from before, it just suddenly changed its owner.
He perceived that the spiritual block contained the mark of the core of the cave heaven's recognition of its master. In fact, it was a piece of soul fragment. However, due to Yang Xing's final obsession, when his soul was transformed into an inner demon, the soul fragment containing the mark of the core of the cave heaven's recognition of its master was preserved intact.
Now, the owner of the cave has become the Heavenly Ghost, and only a being like the Heavenly Ghost, which can devour and transform spiritual bodies at will, has this ability.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that both Yang Xing and the inner demon transformed this soul fragment into a part of their obsession and wanted to preserve it.
Li Shiming was thinking that the cave had been taken over and it seemed that he could go in and take a look.
But something went wrong with the Sky Ghost. It was the inner demon that came from the transformation of Yang Xing's soul from a half-step powerful being. The energy of his soul was at the level of a half-step powerful being, while the Sky Ghost was only at the peak of the middle fourth rank.
The massive amount of spiritual energy was transformed into the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Ghost during the swallowing process.
The Heavenly Ghost's realm was promoted to the late fourth level without any waiting. This was not the end yet, as the spiritual energy in the Heavenly Ghost's body was still growing wildly.
To a certain extent, it is not as easy for a celestial ghost to devour a complete soul as it is to devour an inner demon.
After the soul energy is devoured by the celestial ghost, it needs to be converted. In the process of converting the soul into spiritual energy, there will be considerable losses.
But the inner demon is different. The heavenly ghost has inherited the characteristics of the heavenly demon, and the heavenly demon is the nemesis of the inner demon.
No matter what kind of inner demon one has, once it is targeted by the Heavenly Demon, it will be immediately devoured and replaced by the Heavenly Demon.
For the Heavenly Demon, the inner demon is equivalent to adjusting the energy to the frequency that the Heavenly Demon likes most. After swallowing it, the absorption rate can almost reach 100%.
The Heavenly Ghost is formed by the fusion of the Heavenly Demon and the ghost, and naturally inherited the abilities of the Heavenly Demon. The Heavenly Ghost devoured the inner demon of a half-step powerful being, which is equivalent to devouring the entire spiritual energy of the half-step powerful being.
Li Shiming didn't know what conditions were needed for a spiritual body to reach the late fourth grade. Anyway, there was no obstacle in the process of the Heavenly Ghost passing through the middle fourth grade and advancing to the late stage.
A huge amount of spiritual energy was still flowing into the body of the Sky Ghost. The speed of the Sky Ghost's promotion made him envious.
Seeing the energy of the Heavenly Ghost advancing step by step from the late fourth level, every breath was equivalent to the effect of ten years of practice for a great cultivator.
After an unknown amount of time, the Heavenly Ghost's realm reached the peak of the fourth grade late stage, and a large amount of spiritual energy was pouring in.
Fortunately, the demonic shell of the Sky Ghost is not an ordinary spiritual body shell. When the spiritual energy exceeds the peak level of the late fourth grade, the Sky Ghost's shell begins to expand, gathering the excess spiritual energy into the Sky Ghost's shell.
When the spiritual energy no longer flowed in, the Sky Ghost turned into a giant Sky Ghost fifty meters tall.
A huge sky ghost stood in the cave, with its head on the wall of sky and its feet on the soil. Even so, the sky ghost had to bend down slightly.
This cave is so small that it cannot stand upright.
Li Shiming was also shocked by the state of the Heavenly Ghost. Even though he was practicing the 'Heavenly Art', in his perception, the Heavenly Ghost's total spiritual power exceeded that of his master.
You should know that he has one hundred and ninety-one brains, and each brain possesses the spirit of a great monk who specializes in spiritual cultivation. The total spirit of one hundred and ninety-one brains can definitely rank first among the great monks in the world of immortal cultivation.
Today, the Heavenly Ghost surpassed him, but it was just the inner demon that devoured a half-step great power.
If Tiangui wasn't his spiritual pet, he would be jealous of Tiangui's luck.
He summoned the Heavenly Ghost from the cave. The Heavenly Ghost that appeared in the outside world had an illusory body that could not cause any sense of deterrence. The Heavenly Ghost would only make the enemy's soul tremble when it faced the enemy's soul directly.
But now, if the Sky Ghost does not hide its breath and become invisible, its huge figure of sixty meters and the terrifying spiritual pressure faintly emanating from its shell will make any great monk who faces it feel fear.
This is a suppressive effect on the mental level, a mental impact caused by a massive amount of mental energy.
Li Shiming looked at Tiangui with a smile. He didn't expect that this time he would have another fighting method.
The fighting methods he now recognizes are not ordinary fighting methods.
It can be judged by looking at the fighting methods he recognizes. The fighting methods he recognizes include lightning attacks with the spiritual treasures 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' and 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', flying sword attacks with the spiritual treasure 'Traceless Fantasy Sword' and 'Chaos Sword Intent', and the combat power of five late-stage golden corpses equipped with a full set of equipment in the future.
Even his own "Heavenly Man Art" was not a fighting method he recognized, because he was unable to crush the peak great cultivators with the "Heavenly Man Art" alone.
This doesn't mean that 'Heavenly Art' is weak, but that 'Heavenly Art' lacks the secret method to deal with the enemy. However, the characteristics of 'Heavenly Art' can adapt to most other skills and secret methods. The previous lightning attacks and flying sword attacks were so powerful because of the support of 'Heavenly Art'.
There are still eleven "Silver Wing Spirit Insects", whose combat effectiveness has not been tested in actual combat, and can only be regarded as alternatives.
Given the strength of this Heavenly Ghost, even a top-level cultivator would probably not be willing to face such an existence.
There are not many means to deal with spiritual bodies, let alone a special fourth-grade peak spiritual body like the Heavenly Ghost.
To be honest, when facing an enemy like the Heavenly Ghost, what Li Shiming wanted to do was to immediately use his divine power to get away. Since the spiritual body has no entity, its speed is beyond normal understanding.
As long as a spiritual being gets close to a monk, his soul will be threatened, which is more terrifying than death.
Li Shiming put one hand on the body of the Heavenly Ghost. He felt the situation inside the Heavenly Ghost's body. What the Heavenly Ghost devoured was the inner demon transformed by a half-step great power. That kind of spiritual energy belonging to the level of a half-step great power was transformed into the spiritual energy of the peak fourth grade after entering the Heavenly Ghost's body.
The transformation of the two spiritual energies caused the Heavenly Ghost to be in a bloated state at this time.
This is of great benefit to the Heavenly Ghost. With so much spiritual energy, the Heavenly Ghost will continuously compress and absorb it every day. One day, the quantitative change will be transformed into a qualitative change, or a fifth-grade Heavenly Ghost may appear in the world of immortal cultivation.
Of course, how the Heavenly Ghost, a species that has never appeared in the world of immortal cultivation, can be promoted to the fifth grade still needs to be re-studied.
