Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1670 - 881: Inventory (2)

Li Shiming used his divine sense to sweep over every jade box holding the Great Cultivators' resources, shifting them all into his personal soul crystal ring.

Next, he located the Bone Sect's inheritance method, known as the ’White Bone Technique.’ This technique paves a straight road to ascension, ranking among the finest he had ever acquired.

Regrettably, cultivating the ’White Bone Technique’ proved utterly bizarre. Once his lifebound treasure IBMz15 had logged and dissected it, Li Shiming swiftly grasped its essentials.

The ’White Bone Technique’ demands reshaping one's bones via diverse methods, forging them into devil treasures. This demands massacring countless lives to amass a vast horde of souls for those bones.

In the end, the devil cultivator's full skeleton morphs into a white bone treasure—or alternatively, a white bone avatar.

Practitioners of the ’White Bone Technique’ unleash their white bone avatar during fights, lurking behind it to unleash distant spells in support.

The white bone avatar's combat prowess fluctuates wildly based on the resources and souls poured into its forging.

Zongjing the great cultivator's white bone avatar possesses defenses exceeding even a peak great cultivator's protective treasure, with terrifying speed and melee striking power.

Its sole vulnerability might be the absence of ranged attacks, though the owner masterfully covers this flaw.

Li Shiming rummaged through great cultivator Zongjing's soul crystal ring yet uncovered no other worthwhile spiritual items, filling him with mild regret.

Luckily, loot from four peak great cultivators remained for his perusal, and his letdown vanished promptly as he grabbed another soul crystal ring.

This belonged to grandmaster Leng Hong. He first moved a hefty stack of great cultivator resources into his own soul crystal ring, then started probing the rest of the spiritual goods.

Inside lay several jade scrolls resembling personal diaries.

Grandmaster Leng Hong had jotted down most of his adventures and numerous musings in that diary.

From it, Li Shiming gleaned details on grandmaster Leng Hong's Wind Demon Sect. Though a Demon Sect, it focuses on wind techniques, earning its demonic label through ruthless deeds.

The diary offered him an initial glimpse into the cultivation realm surrounding him.

Unsure if this realm matched his prior cultivation world, he noted the sky's starlight remained unchanged upon inspection.

IBMz15 calculated a over ninety-five percent chance that his current location was the identical world from before.

That lingering five percent stemmed from his limited knowledge of Grotto Heavens drawn solely from the old world's versions; larger ones or real-world-like ones might exist unknown to him.

At times, he pondered whether his realm, plus the former cultivation world, was merely some mighty cultivator's Grotto Heaven.

Regardless, he now knew his spot as ’Cloud Island Sea.’

IBMz15 set to work sorting the diary's entries, pulling out key data for Li Shiming's future reference.

Soon, Li Shiming spotted a supreme fourth-grade magical treasure: a set of wings.

Refined properly, these wings bond to a cultivator's back, sprouting into flight enhancers on demand to boost speed.

He fixated on these wings chiefly for their rarity among wing magical treasures. Crafted from countless late-stage fourth-grade flying spirit beast feathers, gathering them alone was a monumental feat.

The devil cultivator great cultivator's prime hauls were just the ’White Bone Technique,’ the wing treasure, and the diary's modest utility.

This came as no surprise, since these peak great cultivators ventured to the Divine Palace lightly packed, sans their full arsenals.

Even carrying the ’White Bone Technique’ struck him as odd for great cultivator Zongjing.

Now came the Righteous Path's three peak great cultivators' spoils; he began with Shen Ze’s lifebound mirror treasure.

Traveling alongside great cultivator Shen Ze had sparked endless curiosity in him about that mirror.

Only grasping it revealed the mirror treasure's true oddity.

Boasting endless capabilities, multifunctional treasures often dilute their strengths, yet this mirror defies that norm.

Though no ’Mirror Moon Sect’ methods appeared in great cultivator Shen Ze’s soul crystal ring, Li Shiming had seen the mirror in action on their journeys.

It shifts to a defensive form, turning the owner's Spiritual Power Pattern into a shield; becomes an aid for illusions to bewilder foes; or acts as a reflector, bouncing energy spells back at attackers.

Further abilities lay unknown to him, discoverable only via later refinement study.

Naturally, mingling with Mirror Moon Sect cultivators would easily reveal more mirror uses.

For Ji Chuan’s fire flying sword and Liao Yi's battered chessboard, Li Shiming gave a quick look before stashing them, retaining solely the chess pieces.

Lacking standout top-tier fourth-grade magical treasures, after deploying the Heavenly Ghost to erase lingering spiritual imprints from the lifebound treasures, he could gift or trade them for supplies.

The Righteous Path trio's soul crystal rings held other handy goods. Li Shiming unearthed a ’Cloud Island Sea’ map.

Yet he puzzled over its marking as drafted one hundred fifty years prior, with warnings to check validity, questioning if ’Cloud Island Sea’'s landscape shifted over time!

The map granted Li Shiming clear guidance, banishing his earlier aimlessness.

After pondering, Li Shiming slipped on a mask; his Thunder Cultivator aura suddenly morphed into Sword Cultivator aura, faint Sword Intent emanating from him.

From past loot, he fetched a top fourth-grade flying sword, the ’Glazed Flying Cloud Sword,’ refining it as his own.

Ahead, he planned to cultivate the ’Glazed Flying Cloud Sword,’ infusing it with ’Chaos Sword Intent.’

Thus, he could pose as a true Sword Cultivator. He picked the ’Glazed Flying Cloud Sword’ partly for its stunning beauty—crystal-clear throughout, a scarce crystal stone flying sword.

Conversely, his lifebound ’Traceless Illusion Sword’ was far too distinctive to flaunt; no Sword Cultivator lacks a visible flying sword, after all.

The ’Glazed Flying Cloud Sword’ served well enough; superior options like the spiritual treasure ’Golden Rainbow Sword’ existed, but mastering it post-owner recognition demanded prolonged refinement to hide its spiritual treasure essence.

Refining the ’Glazed Flying Cloud Sword’ consumed twenty days—an essential process—imbuing it with traces of ’Chaos Sword Intent’ for solid combat potential.

In that span, Li Shiming deployed a drone satellite to surveil the ocean surface.

Once aloft, the drone satellite revealed no trace of the Divine Palace.

Whether hidden or dwelling in separate space remained unclear.

Still, over those twenty days, the seas teemed with life as hordes of great cultivators swarmed the region, joined by throngs of lesser cultivators.

The drone satellite's scan alone tallied more than a hundred great cultivators, ignoring the thousands of Nascent Soul cultivators beyond.

This suggested ’Cloud Island Sea’ boasted more Nascent Soul cultivators than the Central State Continent; he doubted even all superpowers' great cultivators from his old world could match ’Cloud Island Sea’'s numbers.
