Cultivation is just so scientific!

The foundation of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect exceeded Li Shiming's imagination. Just this Fourth Grade Seclusion Room area alone had three or four Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators overseeing it.

This he perceived from those probing energies; a Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner wouldn't give him such a strong reaction.

The Fourth Grade Seclusion Room was situated within a valley, surrounded by several layers of formation arrays.

Holding the token, he passed through the array and, upon entering the valley, sensed the rich spiritual energy. He could be certain that there was at least one, possibly multiple prestigious Nascent Soul grade spiritual veins within the valley.

"Let me see your token!" A voice came from beside him.

Li Shiming was startled. If not for the spoken voice, he wouldn't have known there was a cultivator there.

With his spirit, and both 'Telepathy' and 'Divine Sight' active simultaneously, he hadn't realized there was a cultivator just over ten meters away, which was an exceedingly unbelievable thing for him.

He turned to look over and discovered the speaker was an elderly cultivator, who was sitting cross-legged on a stone, his body seemingly melded with the stone and the surrounding environment. Without using divine thought, merely observing with one's eyes, one might think the cultivator was part of the stone.

He wasn't sure if this was some kind of secret technique, or perhaps the effect of some realm. Regardless, it was beyond his understanding.

"Senior, please have a look!" Li Shiming said respectfully as he held the token.

The elderly cultivator didn't accept the token. He felt a faint energy sweep over it.

"Number Five Seclusion Room - the sect now allows Golden Core cultivators to use the Number Five Seclusion Room; what a waste!" the elderly cultivator grumbled, then pointed in a direction and said, "The Number Five Seclusion Room is over there. If you have the feeling of a tribulation approaching, activate the teleportation array, and it will take you to the place of tribulation. Do not undergo the tribulation within the seclusion room; otherwise, I will throw you out directly!"

"Yes, Senior!" Li Shiming obediently replied.

Following the direction pointed by the elderly cultivator, he soon saw a cave marked with the character 'Five'.

Judging by the distance between the Number Five and Number Four Six Seclusion Rooms, the valley probably contained twelve seclusion rooms.

From the meaning in the elderly cultivator's words, Number Five Seclusion Room ought to be rarely used by Golden Core cultivators, presumably as more of Sect Master Ji's special care.

He used the token to open the formation of the cave and walked inside.

The cave was very simple, with only a thirty square meter space, which indeed suited the term 'seclusion room'.

The thirty square meter space had a spiritual vein outlet at the center, from which spiritual energy was continuously gushing forth.

Judging by the depth of spiritual energy within the seclusion room, this space seemed to have the spiritual vein outlet closed normally, only being opened when it was in use.

Though the spiritual vein outlet had just opened, the spiritual energy had, within just ten breaths, already filled the entire space, and was rapidly increasing.

On the ground lay a jade meditation seat, the only object within the whole seclusion room.

Sitting on the jade meditation seat, a cooling sensation transmitted through his body, rushing straight to his brain, sharpening his thoughts considerably.

Along the walls, streaks of light rose, generated by various prohibitions, arrays, and spiritual objects to produce beneficial effects for secluded cultivation, permeating the entire space.

"No wonder it requires so many contribution points; the effect of cultivating here for a day is probably equivalent to cultivating for ten days outside!" Li Shiming, though somewhat worldly, couldn't help but exclaim when he genuinely felt the cultivation environment here.

This kind of seclusion room is not easily manufactured. In his perception, not only were Fourth-grade materials used, but there was also a breath of spiritual objects surpassing Fourth-grade.

The ability to achieve such a cultivation effect probably hinged on those surpassing Fourth-grade spiritual objects being central.

He closed his eyes and began cultivation; though his body could no longer contain even a sliver of spiritual power, each cultivation session would refine the spiritual power within the five Golden Cores a bit more, making it purer.

One of the purposes of this cultivation session was to adjust his own state.

Even though he had been adjusting for ten years, upon entering the Fourth Grade Seclusion Room, he still needed to readjust to integrate himself with this environment.

Promoting to the Nascent Soul Stage is not a simple matter; some cultivators need only a few days, while some require years or even decades.

Li Shiming had prepared for ten years; he only needed to adjust himself, acclimate to the environment within the Fourth Grade Seclusion Room, and then he could attempt promotion.

Beneath him, the jade meditation seat was a teleportation array center, allowing him to be transported out with a single thought when needed.

The majority of the process of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage would take place in the seclusion room, requiring teleportation only before the tribulation, at which point the promotion would be in its final stage.

Li Shiming cultivated for three days, during which his essence and body reached their optimal state. In the retreat space, Venerable Huijing held a Fourth Grade Pearl, ready at any moment.

He called forth the illusion from Green Field Cave Heaven, his life-bound magical treasure IBMz15 projected the illusion in his view, simultaneously applying the feelings of that time to his various senses.

In his heart, the insight for promotion emerged. He found the critical key to advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, opening the gateway to the Nascent Soul Stage.

'Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique,' 'Yuqing Thunder Scripture,' 'Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique,' 'Human Dao Reincarnation Technique,' and 'Nanming Leaving Fire' insights, with his life-bound magical treasure IBMz15 projecting the illusion, clearly appeared in his heart.
