Li Shiming discusses his friend Li Taibai, a newly advanced Great Power cultivator from another cultivation land, with Great Power Meng Jun. Meng Jun is impressed and offers Li Shiming more spiritual medicine for alchemy services. Li Taibai then makes his first grand appearance, shocking Meng Jun with his power and status as a loose cultivator.

After Li Taibai was introduced to Great Power Meng Jun, Li Shiming also introduced Li Taibai to Grandmaster Hu and other great cultivators of the sect.

Upon learning that there was another great power within his sect, Grandmaster Hu could hardly believe it.

Since when did great powers become so common, emerging one after another?

Especially after Li Shiming explained that Li Taibai would reside long-term at the Ten Thousand Beast Sect due to having no sect, Grandmaster Hu was even more excited.

This meant Li Taibai was a great power of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, residing in the sect, revered by it, and being Li Shiming’s close friend, what difference did it make from having its own great power?

Most importantly, Li Taibai was a Thunder Cultivation Great Power.

This injected excitement into all the Thunder Cultivators of Ten Thousand Beast Sect; previously, they were considered niche within the sect.

Even though the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, by absorbing the Taichu Sect, Lianhua Temple, and Sun Concealing Sect, now housed Buddhist, Devil, and Daoist legacies, its mainstream cultivators still focused on nurturing spiritual pets.

The traditional cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect were not weak; along with their spiritual pets, they could fight two against one against cultivators of the same tier, not to mention having the Spirit Pet Secret Technique to enhance the synergy with their Spirit Dragons, unleashing even greater power.

Cultivators practicing other legacies were relatively fewer and faced some suppression in power.

Even for Thunder Cultivators, because they were few in number and had cultivated for a shorter time, their status in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was awkward.

However, the appearance of Li Taibai brought new pride to the Thunder Cultivators.

The Thunder Cultivators now had their own ancestor, just as Li Shiming was the ancestor for traditional cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

The term "ancestor" here refers to the ancestral figure of one’s own cultivation lineage.

Li Shiming, possessing a powerful spiritual pet, was always regarded by the Ten Thousand Beast Sect as representing its authentic legacy, at least that was how Grandmaster Hu and the other great cultivators promoted it.

Having their own ancestor greatly increased the cohesion and centripetal force among the Thunder Cultivators, which was beneficial for the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

The presence of Li Taibai not only brought these benefits; the cultivators of other legacies also experienced increased centripetal force towards the Ten Thousand Beast Sect with the emergence of a second great power.

Today, Li Taibai and Li Shiming arrived at the ’Thunder Prison’; although the Ten Thousand Beast Sect had announced in advance that Thunder Cultivators needed to vacate the ’Thunder Prison’ as the two great powers would occupy it for a period of time.

But the Thunder Cultivators did not leave, as they were eager to meet Li Taibai, their ancestor of Thunder Cultivation.

When Li Taibai appeared, even with his aura of a great power of Thunder Cultivation restrained, the Thunder Cultivators still felt an extreme sense of kinship.

"Disciples kneel to the two ancestors!" Rarely did the Thunder Cultivators kneel on both knees, paying their respects to Li Shiming and Li Taibai.

"Everyone, rise. The time spent occupying the ’Thunder Prison’ may be long this time, so I have prepared a temporary place for you to cultivate!" Li Taibai said with a smile.

Li Shiming intentionally let Li Taibai speak, knowing the influence Li Taibai had on the Thunder Cultivators.

With a wave of his hand, Li Taibai sent hundreds of array flags onto the ground within a hundred li of the ’Thunder Prison’, infusing each flag with a ray of Thunder Energy.

This was a modified version of the Spirit Gathering Array, transforming all gathered spiritual energy into Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power.

Because the Thunder Energy was infused by a great power, the quality of the converted Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power approached the level of a great power.

Of course, this version of the Spirit Gathering Array had its layers of power; the closer to the core of the array, the higher the quality of the Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power, while farther from the center, the quality decreases.

This allowed the modified Spirit Gathering Array to suit Thunder Cultivators of various levels; by finding the appropriate tier, they could achieve the optimal enhancement effect.

Li Taibai also cultivated the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’, enhancing the array’s benefits for those Thunder Cultivators practicing the same technique.

Li Shiming paid no mind to Li Taibai; he had already entered the ’Thunder Prison’ and began preparing.

This time he planned to refine the ’Flying Night Demon’, already considered the strongest legendary corpse refining.

Regrettably, in today’s Cultivation World, the ’Flying Night Demon’ is only heard of by name, never actually seen.

Before he explored that ancient relic, he had some doubts about the existence of the ’Flying Night Demon’.

But after witnessing many half-step fifth-grade corpses, he believed that the Cultivation World once had fifth-grade ’Flying Night Demons’.

Perhaps in some ancient relics, there really still exist fifth-grade ’Flying Night Demons’.

Setting up the Corpse Refining Array, he utilized thirty-six sets of half-step fifth-grade corpse refining materials this time; the value of these materials alone was immeasurable.

Once the Corpse Refining Array was set, time was needed to convert sufficient quantities of Yin Cold Energy within the array.

Li Shiming brought Great Power Leng Luo’s body into a mechanized space, using the previously extracted blood of Great Power Leng Luo, combined with some precious materials, and his own spirit, to craft talismanic ink.

The next step was using the talismanic ink to draw ’Refining Corpse Runes’, which are vital for transforming the body into a refined corpse.

Since the physical body of Great Power Leng Luo was of a great power level, it could bear more ’Refining Corpse Runes’.
