Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 509: Ascension (Part 2)



This was the best insight derived from the analysis of all cultivation techniques in the Green Field Cave Heaven tailored specifically for Li Shiming's practice.

Creating a grotto heaven for Golden Core cultivators to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage with resources specially designed by Mahayana realm experts, analyzing Li Shiming's cultivation technique insights in the Golden Core Stage to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage is not a difficult task.

Although his cultivation technique is considered top-notch, there are still many techniques in the Cultivation World that surpass his.

Perhaps the most challenging aspect for the Green Field Cave Heaven is the 'Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique'; it's not that it's extraordinarily difficult to analyze the 'Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique', but the five Golden Cores within Li Shiming's body nearly caused it to crash.

Fortunately, analyzing a Golden Core cultivator's technique with the capability of a master of great power succeeded in devising the optimal method for advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage using the 'Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique' with five Golden Cores.

Within Li Shiming's body, the opportunity for advancing to Nascent Soul emerged, with spiritual light flickering on the five Golden Cores.

Without needing his control, Venerable Huijing, who had been prepared long ago, sent the corresponding resources for Nascent Soul advancement from the server space into his mouth.

All these resources for Nascent Soul advancement were meant to better nurture the Golden Core to form a Nascent Soul, this process takes the longest, and is also the most critical step.

His different insights into the Five Elements within the 'Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique' respectively entered the corresponding attribute of each Golden Core.

Insights from the 'Yuqing Thunder Scripture', 'Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique', 'Human Dao Reincarnation Technique' meanwhile affected all five Golden Cores.

The 'Nanming Leaving Fire' divine skill is the most unique; its insight affects only the fire attribute Golden Core.

Originally, with Li Shiming's level of practice in the attack divine skill 'Nanming Leaving Fire', he could not reach the level of using it in the process of nurturing the Nascent Soul when advancing, yet the Green Field Cave Heaven gave 'Nanming Leaving Fire' insights that were most suitable for him, allowing him to apply the insight to the fire attribute Golden Core.

Within his body, various colors of light flickered, indicating slow changes within the Golden Core.

Meanwhile, the Golden Core began continuously absorbing his spirit and life force, merging with the spiritual power pattern inside the core.

Li Shiming immediately had Venerable Huijing operate the Fourth Grade Pearls, using the 'Life Extending Secret Method' from the server space to channel life force into his body.

Using the Fourth Grade Pearl directly could also utilize the internal life force, but doing so provides life force that doesn't belong to him; during the Golden Core's process of nurturing the Nascent Soul, the core would not acknowledge such life force.

However, through the transformation of the 'Life Extending Secret Method', once the life force enters Li Shiming's body, it is converted into his own life force.

Feeling the acknowledgment from the Golden Core of the life force flowing into his body, swallowing it into the five Golden Cores, he let out a sigh of relief, as confirmed by the IBMz15 analyzing his natal artifact, showing everything was proceeding as expected without any accidents.

The changes within the five Golden Cores need constant interference from his spirit to fully match the phenomenon.

This is the key aspect of the Green Field Cave Heaven's opportunity, even for those cultivators with blurred memories, during the advancement process, their body's instinct will know how to deal with the changes in the Golden Core, bringing the changes closer to perfect nurturing.

Li Shiming gains even greater benefits from the Green Field Cave Heaven's opportunity; the IBMz15 recorded the entire phenomenon process, and now plays it synchronized in advance, allowing him to replicate the phenomenon process perfectly.

Accomplishing this is extraordinarily difficult, as the Golden Core continuously devours spiritual energy, requiring even more spirit to interfere in the internal changes of the core.

In normal cultivator practice, doing so most often leads to insufficient spirit, causing advancement to fail.

Li Shiming's total spirit capacity allows him to indulge in consumption.

One day, two days, three days, time passes silently, while he continuously draws the spiritual energy from the Fourth Grade Seclusion Room into his body, converting it into spiritual power pattern within the Golden Core.

The spiritual power pattern within the Golden Core is consumed continually during the nurturing process.

He frequently takes advancement resources boosting spiritual power, maintaining the supply with the cultivation technique circulating within his body.

On the sixth day, his internal Nascent Soul nurturing process still hasn't ended, presently the Nascent Soul is faintly taking shape.

However, the nurturing of cultivation method runes is extremely slow, he remembers when Elder Sword completed the Nascent Soul nurturing on the sixth day.

Yet his progress is less than halfway there by the sixth day.

The resources for advancing to Nascent Soul he has consumed have already exceeded five times that of normal Great Elder Nascent Soul advancement, the massive resource expenditure ensures the normal progress of the Golden Core's nurturing process.

The Golden Core's nurturing process continues, with time passing day by day.

If there were cultivators who could record Li Shiming's duration for nurturing the Nascent Soul from the Golden Core, it would likely have already broken all records of any Golden Core cultivators in history.

Normally, if a Golden Core cultivator exceeds ten days without completing the process of nurturing the Nascent Soul, their spirit and life force would be fully consumed, leading to immediate death.

Li Shiming not only exceeded ten days, but continued on.

His immense foundation, along with ample resource accumulation, allowed him to persevere.

Until the eighteenth day, the five Nascent Souls within the five Golden Cores had already taken shape.

On the bodies of the five Nascent Souls were the cultivation method runes from 'Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique', 'Yuqing Thunder Scripture', 'Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique', 'Human Dao Reincarnation Technique', with additional 'Nanming Leaving Fire' runes within the fire element Nascent Soul.

These matched perfectly with the phenomenon in Green Field Cave Heaven; he flawlessly replicated the process of advancing to the Nascent Soul according to the Green Field Cave Heaven.

As a matter of fact, the phenomenon in Green Field Cave Heaven about cultivators advancing to Nascent Soul was an ideal scenario conceived under the perfect conditions.

Disregarding memory blurring, even if a cultivator could recall the phenomenon from Green Field Cave Heaven and replicate the whole process, achieving the most perfect replication is exceedingly difficult because Green Field Cave Heaven's conceptualization of advancing to Nascent Soul does not take into account spiritual power, spirit, and life force.

In true advancement, it's impossible not to consider spiritual power, spirit, and life force; any mistake could lead to death or, at the very least, severe injury, making the Dao path challenging from then on.

Li Shiming's ability to achieve a perfect replication results from his accumulated opportunities from before and his own uniqueness, creating this miracle.

Eighteen days later, the resources for advancing to Nascent Soul on him were nearly depleted, even the resources intended for his avatar Li Yuanba's advancement were also used up.

There was no choice; who would have thought the advancement process for five Golden Cores would require so many resources.

Had it not been for his own pill refining capabilities, collecting vast amounts of Nascent Soul advancement resources, complemented by the contention on the Beishu Continent and the Dongqi Continent, gaining considerable Nascent Soul advancement resources, he wouldn't have endured until now.

Resources such as Red Infant Ginseng Fruit, Supreme Sensing Pill, Corpse Lotus Seed, Seven-leaf Jade Lotus, Supreme Profound Pill, Supreme Infant Stabilizing Pill, Supreme Nascent Formation Pill, Cold Ice Spirit Congrong, Thousand-year-old Hundred Core Grass, Eight-direction Ascension Pill, Seven Stars Nascent Soul Pill, etc., each one capable of driving Golden Core cultivators mad with desire were all consumed by him.

Additionally, countless top-grade spirit pills for replenishing spiritual power, which he had refined himself and never let out, along with intentional accumulation, provided a considerable quantity.

With a crunching sound, five Golden Cores simultaneously cracked.

Li Shiming's aura suddenly surged, with the unique aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator erupting from him.

The formation of the Fourth Grade Seclusion Room is incredibly strong, arranged entirely with fourth-grade materials, crafted by the most elite array master, with enhancements over countless years ensuring no matter how intense the aura generated inside, not even a trace would leak out.

When the five Golden Cores in his body fractured, five tiny Nascent Souls were born, racing to climb towards the top of his head.

Amusingly, the five small Nascent Souls crowded each other, and ended up getting stuck.

Only with the Nascent Souls' ability to freely shrink their bodies did Li Shiming manage to avoid embarrassment at the final stage of advancement, with five Nascent Souls stuck within his body.
