Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Great Cultivator Lou instructed his son Lou Wu to enter seclusion after his advancement to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, while Li Yuanba returned to his cave for closed-door practice. Over the years, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion flourished thanks to Li Yuanba's Space Acceptance Array and his unmatched Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills, which boosted cultivation efficiency but remained inaccessible to outsiders due to high demand. Twenty years passed in profound seclusion for Li Shiming, where his five Nascent Souls reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak without bottlenecks, drawing vast spiritual energy from the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven to fuel their synchronized transformation into pure Five Elements Rules energy.

The practice of the 'Heavenly Human Technique' stands out as exceptionally distinctive, since the initial guiding energy at the beginning of cultivation flows via five varieties of Five Elements Divine Power Energy.

This very aspect explains the potency of the 'Heavenly Human Technique', which essentially means tapping into the might of rules in an indirect manner.

Yet right now, with Li Shiming's five Nascent Souls steadily pushing their realms higher, the 'Heavenly Human Technique' has shifted to being directed by the energy from the Five Elements Rules.

He remembered how the Five Elements Rules took shape inside Half-Life Cave Heaven, an experience that sharpened the Five Elements Rules in the 'Heavenly Human Technique' to greater clarity, while boosting the amount of guided energy from the Five Elements Rules.

Over time, the share of Five Elements Rules energy in the cultivation process grew steadily bigger. It started at just one-thousandth, but once it hit one percent, a sudden shift rippled through the aura of the five Nascent Souls.

All five Nascent Souls together breached an unseen threshold. Even though this threshold didn't block his path, Li Shiming sensed it sharply as they passed through.

This must be the bottleneck marking the shift from Nascent Soul Middle Stage to the Late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator Realm, one that the five Nascent Souls overcame with surprising ease.

The presence of the five Nascent Souls surged upward swiftly, and some mysterious transformation struck the core of the Nascent Souls, causing the spiritual energy within to compress over ten times denser once the 'Heavenly Human Technique' cycled through.

At the same time, the five Nascent Souls kept drawing in his spirit and then releasing it back, a process during which he noticed the spirit emerging far stronger than before.

In typical scenarios, whenever the five Nascent Souls required a boost to their spirit, it pointed to strengthening the spirit tied to the main brain.

However, his spirit went well beyond that, as he drew upon the spirit from his other 190 brains nonstop, feeding it into the five Nascent Souls for refinement and amplification.

Li Shiming had no certainty if the five Nascent Souls would continue refining the spirit once their advancement wrapped up.

The spiritual energy inside the five Nascent Souls dwindled bit by bit, until barely one-tenth lingered. Still, the quality of that remaining spiritual energy in the Nascent Souls differed completely from its prior state.

Within this spiritual energy hid a faint thread of the Five Elements Rules. At the same moment, imprints of the Five Elements Rules for metal, wood, water, fire, and earth materialized inside the five Nascent Souls, as though carved right into their essence.

These Five Elements Rule Imprints stayed somewhat fuzzy, mirroring the depth of his command over the Five Elements Rules.

Truth be told, even though he had glimpsed the rules by controlling Half-Life Cave Heaven and watching their birth, his grasp on the Five Elements Rules remained shallow because of his current realm.

Naturally, if compared to others, his hold on each individual rule among the Five Elements outstripped what fresh Great Cultivators usually achieved upon their breakthrough.

Not even certain Great Cultivators who had pursued the rules for three or four centuries matched his broad insight into them, thanks to his rare chance of witnessing the Five Elements Rules come into being.

Only after he fully absorbed the gains from Half-Life Cave Heaven would the Five Elements Rule Imprints in his five Nascent Souls lose their blurriness.

Li Shiming's mind flickered with curiosity; how come just the Five Elements Rule Imprint showed up, when he had also comprehended the Thunder Rules?

He had spotted this during his observation of clouds, rain, and thunder shaped by the Five Elements in Half-Life Cave Heaven, where the birth of Thunder Rules became evident to him.

Likely, only a place like Half-Life Cave Heaven, still an incomplete grotto heaven, let a cultivator sense the rules with such vividness.

Once a grotto heaven like that reaches full completion, the rules hide away on their own, serving merely as the hidden backbone for the cave heaven's functions.

An occurrence as extraordinary as Half-Life Cave Heaven popping up remains highly unlikely.

Across the entire cultivation world through the ages, merely Qiu Hengyi managed to leave a Half-step Cave Heaven behind; all other half-step Mahayana cultivators saw their half-step cave heavens crumble after death.

Lacking full rules, a half-step cave heaven struggles to hold its spatial structure steady. Qiu Hengyi employed some mysterious techniques and artifacts to keep his half-step cave heaven intact even after passing.

This chance allowed Li Shiming to sense the rules with crystal clarity. In the past, countless cultivators vied for the Half-step Rule Cave Sky Core precisely for a shot at rule comprehension.

As Li Shiming stepped into the Great Cultivator Realm, he truly appreciated the immense value Half-Life Cave Heaven brought to his path.

He reflected on the emergence of Thunder Rules, a power he had wielded effectively in Yuqing Thunder Scripture strikes back in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, proving his profound insight into Thunder Rules.

While lost in that reflection, Thunder Rule Imprints began to form inside the five Nascent Souls.

A touch of avarice stirred in him, drawing his thoughts toward Sword Intent.

The rules woven into 'Chaos Sword Intent' prove vastly intricate, far beyond what one could seize in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Yet at this instant, particularly amid his breakthrough, his attunement to the rules reached extraordinary heights.

From the database of IBMz15, he pulled up the projection of the 'Sword Intent Stele' and examined the rule forces embedded in the 'Sword Intent Stele.'

That said, next to the straightforward rules of the Five Elements and Thunder, the rule forces in the 'Sword Intent Stele' appeared bewilderingly tangled, pieced together from scattered rule fragments that aligned with the Sword Intent of the 'Sword Intent Stele.'

Li Shiming hadn't unlocked every bit of Sword Intent from the 'Sword Intent Stele,' yet he had seized the majority, shaping his present 'Chaos Sword Intent.'
