Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1594 - 843: Departure (2)

Yet, the four puppets that Li Shiming had effortlessly summoned could effortlessly eliminate a Nascent Soul Middle Stage expert.

He probed the contents of the Mustard Seed Ring, discovering the four Fourth Grade puppets resting silently within.

Armed with these four Fourth Grade puppets, the role of Sect Master now transforms from a mere symbolic position into a formidable authority backed by substantial battle prowess.

In a typical sect, should the Sect Master abruptly gain such strength, it might stir up considerable unrest.

However, the Beishu Sect stands apart; despite Li Shiming's departure from the Beishu Sect, his sway continues to dominate it. One must remember the ongoing ties between the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and the Beishu Sect.

Lacking the backing of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the Beishu Sect's access to vital resources would swiftly diminish.

Above all, embedded in the four Fourth Grade puppets lies a fragment of Li Shiming’s spiritual mark, allowing him to monitor the Beishu Sect's affairs and seize command of the four Fourth Grade puppets during pivotal instances.

The fighting capability of these four Fourth Grade puppets remains formidable. Though they offer scant benefit to him since ascending to Great Cultivator status,

these four Fourth Grade puppets are equipped with advanced long-distance electromagnetic cannons. Firing elite Fourth Grade conical magical treasures as projectiles, their strikes can obliterate the majority of Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts in an instant.

The Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts in question here hail not from commonplace sects, but from mighty superpowers.

Even a single one among the four Fourth Grade puppets possesses the power to dispatch most Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts outright. Facing the combined assault of all four, even comparatively frail Great Cultivators must proceed with utmost vigilance.

Safeguarded by these four Fourth Grade puppets, the Beishu Sect's security is thoroughly secured.

Once all sect matters were settled, Li Shiming approached Yin Shilan, who was engaged in conversation with Ren Fei’er.

As he neared, he noticed Ren Fei’er in tears.

“What’s bothering Ren Fei’er?” he inquired.

“Fei’er hates to see me leave!” Yin Shilan replied, smiling warmly at her sister.

Ren Fei’er felt otherwise, of course. Thanks to the abundant resources from Li Shiming, her path to Nascent Soul Stage seemed all but assured.

Future reunions would surely occur, and this parting wasn’t a final farewell.

“Ren Fei’er, with your father-in-law and mother-in-law’s health waning, remain on the Beishu Continent to care for the family elders on our behalf. Visit the Dongqi Continent whenever you can. I’m thinking of recruiting you into the Ten Thousand Beast Sect as a core cultivator!” Li Shiming outlined his intentions.

“Is that true? You’re not just saying that?” Ren Fei’er questioned, wiping away her tears.

“Rest assured, I can hand you the Identity Jade Disc for a core cultivator of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect this very moment!” Li Shiming assured her, chuckling and shaking his head.

He produced an Identity Jade Disc, imprinted it with necessary details, and passed it to Ren Fei’er.

Upon reaching the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Ren Fei’er could use this Identity Jade Disc to gain immediate entry and receive core cultivator privileges.

As a leading Great Cultivator in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and one of its highest figures, he wielded such privileges.

“Thank you, brother-in-law!” Ren Fei’er beamed, accepting the Identity Jade Disc.

“I feel like I’ve been outmaneuvered!” Li Shiming remarked, glancing between Ren Fei’er and Yin Shilan.

Both Ren Fei’er and Yin Shilan burst into laughter. Ren Fei’er brandished the Identity Jade Disc triumphantly, her eyes sparkling with delight.

“Ren Fei’er, you’ll need to select a new cave residence. I’ve arranged one for you on the ‘Main Peak of Beishu’!” Li Shiming recalled and added.

“You’re not actually planning to cart off this entire mountain, are you?” Ren Fei’er gasped in astonishment.

Rumors had reached her about Li Shiming’s aim to remove the mountain, but she’d dismissed it as mere jest.

Though spatial items boast vast storage capacities, they generally can’t accommodate living entities. Extracting a mountain from such an item later could inflict severe harm upon it.

Her outlook remained rooted in the Beishu Continent’s ways, blind to the wonders of the broader Cultivation World.

“Since Lan’er cherishes this mountain so much, I’ll certainly bring it with us!” Li Shiming declared confidently.

From the outset of founding the Beishu Sect, he had detached this Floating Mountain from the sect’s formation array, anticipating this very scenario.

Now, on the verge of departure, he fully intended to relocate the Floating Mountain.

“I’ve always hated this mountain anyway. The main peak’s surroundings are far superior!” Ren Fei’er huffed dismissively, stamping her foot.

Li Shiming recognized her words as feigned; after a century residing there with Yin Shilan, surely affections had formed.

“This journey, Lan’er and I head to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. I’ll select a mentor for you, and that mentor will travel to the Beishu Continent to oversee your cultivation!” Li Shiming wrapped up.

Were it not for Elder Yin and Aunt Ren’s presence, he might have simply brought Ren Fei’er along.

A shocking event struck the Beishu Sect: the ever-present Floating Mountain in the skies vanished without trace.

Sect elders announced to the cultivators that Li Shiming had entered prolonged seclusion, yet many suspected he was set to depart.

Aboard the ‘White Emperor Light Cloud Boat,’ Li Shiming and Yin Shilan faced one another across a small table, gazing out at the coastline and endless sea.

Li Shiming had slipped away discreetly, stowing the Floating Mountain into the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven before embarking with Yin Shilan on the ‘White Emperor Light Cloud Boat.’

Yin Shilan lifted the teapot, serving Li Shiming a cup of Spiritual Tea and pouring another for herself.

Her eyes lingered on the shoreline; mere steps beyond lay the exit from the Beishu Continent.

Anxiety evaded her; instead, pure joy swelled within as she neared entry into Li Shiming’s domain.

“The seas teem with perils, so we must follow a designated path on this trip. We’re tracing the same route I took when I departed before!” Li Shiming informed Yin Shilan.

He displayed the nautical chart, highlighting the plotted course.

Though he wished to shield Yin Shilan from harm, sharing essential Cultivation World survival lore was necessary.

With eager interest, Yin Shilan absorbed this wisdom, vicariously sharing in Li Shiming’s past travels.

The ‘White Emperor Light Cloud Boat’ soared past the coast, plunging into the ocean. The boundless vista of sea and sky left her mesmerized.

Confined to her cave residence for a century, this expansive marine sight now utterly enchanted her.

Li Shiming observed her rapt expression fondly; he too had once mirrored her awe.

Only by plunging into the ocean’s depths does one grasp the world’s immense scale.

In the ensuing days, the pair remained ever close, their conversations flowing without end.

Having freshly solidified her realm, Yin Shilan benefited from this travel period. The journey suited her perfectly.

Spanning from Beishu Continent to Dongqi Continent, the ‘White Emperor Light Cloud Boat’ traveled at moderate pace, yet arrived in just one month.

Half a month into the voyage, Yin Shilan detected the surge in Spiritual Energy density, highlighting the Beishu Continent’s prior scarcity.

“Next to the Beishu Continent, this feels like a paradise of immortals!” Yin Shilan marveled aloud upon sighting the Dongqi Continent’s shores.

The abundance of Spiritual Energy, coupled with the offshore arrays designed to harvest sea beasts, set it worlds apart from the Beishu Continent.

On the Beishu Continent, no cultivator dared pursue sea beasts; Nascent Soul experts forged pacts with nearby sea creatures to prevent clashes.

Even inland, mighty spirit beasts claimed territories off-limits to human cultivators.

In contrast, Dongqi Continent’s human cultivators, no longer content with land resources, ventured boldly into the seas. The dynamic between humans and sea beasts here diverged sharply from the Beishu Continent.

“The Dongqi Continent ranks as a low-end continent across the vast Cultivation World, just a notch above the Beishu Continent!” Li Shiming clarified with a grin.

Shock widened Yin Shilan’s eyes, his statement underscoring the Beishu Continent’s even humbler standing in the grand scheme than she’d imagined.

Evidently, the Beishu Continent’s thousand years of isolation stemmed from valid causes, and even against the Cultivation World’s low-tier Dongqi Continent, the Beishu Continent paled in comparison to ordinary realms on other lands.
