Chapter 1953: Chapter 1023: Advancement

"Lan’er, the time has come, it’s time to ascend to half-step Great Power!" Li Shiming softly reminded Yin Shilan, who was deeply engrossed in the opportunity for ascension.

Clarity flashed in Yin Shilan’s eyes; she was well prepared for her ascension to half-step Great Power.

She had first obtained the inheritance for ascending to half-step Great Power from Luanyang Palace, along with over a century of teachings from Li Shiming, and ultimately was guided personally by Great Power Meng Jun.

In terms of material preparation, Li Shiming had readied the Heavenly Mechanism Treasure and corresponding Spirit Pills for her.

Li Shiming prepared everything for her, but the rest depended on her own efforts—areas that Li Shiming couldn’t assist with.

Yin Shilan absorbed the Spiritual Energy emitted by one hundred and eight Great Cultivator Spirit Veins, while Little Phoenix was summoned, constantly calling atop her head.

She began to operate ’Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens’, linking her aura with Little Phoenix’s.

Li Shiming felt reassured; through ’Divine Perception Stele’, he could observe the minute changes in energy, discovering that there were no issues with Yin Shilan’s ascension process.

This advantage is thanks to the experience of the half-step Great Power inheritance; even the experience of predecessors who practiced the same cultivation technique can serve as lessons for the younger generation, even if they were failures.

Unlike Li Shiming’s ascension process, where there was no reference from predecessor’s experience whatsoever.

If not for the insight gained from the opportunity of ’Divine Perception Stele’, his ascension would not have been so smooth.

Yin Shilan’s ascension process was exceedingly smooth, as she proceeded step by step according to the experience from Luanyang Palace.

Though her talent was lacking, she possessed the most top-grade Spirit Pills; especially after consuming a ’Hundred Herbs Pill’, the immense energy meant she didn’t need to absorb any other energy. Relying solely on the energy of the ’Hundred Herbs Pill’, the energy within her Nascent Soul reached the ultimate peak, eventually entering the phase of constructing the Grotto Heaven.

The artifact she chose for the Cave Heaven Inheritance was the same Spiritual Object as Li Shiming: the ’Daoist Golden Lotus.’ She was Li Shiming’s Daoist couple, and besides, the ’Daoist Golden Lotus’ also offered the highest level of safety.

While she was in the Grotto Heaven, Li Shiming could take her with him.

As Yin Shilan’s figure disappeared into the void, a light spot appeared on the ’Daoist Golden Lotus’, Li Shiming let out a long sigh of relief.

Once Yin Shilan reached this stage, he could start to offer help during her process to control the Grotto Heaven.

Intervening in the Cave Heaven Energy control of other cultivators is not an easy task, even for a typical Great Power.

But Li Shiming had the help of IBMz15, combined with Yin Shilan’s understanding of the rules, which she learned from him.

He didn’t physically enter Yin Shilan’s Grotto Heaven; such a newly constructed Grotto Heaven couldn’t bear a Great Power like him.

Instead, he decided to send an ’Eternal Water Bear’ into Yin Shilan’s Grotto Heaven, controlling the ’Eternal Water Bear’ through a brain, using the perception of the ’Eternal Water Bear’ to assist Yin Shilan.

He didn’t immediately send all two hundred half-step Great Powers into Yin Shilan’s Grotto Heaven; Yin Shilan was not like him. Once the energy exceeded Yin Shilan’s control limits, trouble awaited her.

’Eternal Water Bear’ entered Yin Shilan’s Grotto Heaven, and through shared perception, Li Shiming saw the situation inside the Grotto Heaven.

Inside the Grotto Heaven, Little Phoenix shrank down and lay on Yin Shilan’s shoulder, daring not to move as the vulnerable Grotto Heaven could not withstand Little Phoenix’s activity.

After cultivating the ’Dancing Phoenix Nine Heavens Technique’, the energy she primarily mastered was Fire Energy.

Therefore, the core of her Grotto Heaven was a cluster of flames, and the whole Grotto Heaven was densely filled with Fire Energy.

Surrounded by Fire Energy, Yin Shilan and Little Phoenix felt no discomfort, as here was essentially part of Yin Shilan’s body.

The entry of the ’Eternal Water Bear’, albeit cautious, still agitated the Fire Energy within the Grotto Heaven.

Li Shiming hurriedly had IBMz15 analyze this Grotto Heaven and controlled the energy within through ’Eternal Water Bear’.

Controlling the Cave Heaven Energy when not its owner is extraordinarily difficult. However, he wasn’t forcefully controlling it but rather inducing the energy to mutually restrain, achieving a balanced state even though not being the Grotto Heaven master.

Li Shiming felt slightly proud; with IBMz15’s powerful computation, coupled with prior Grotto Heaven building experience shared with Li Yuanba, he held abundant experience in controlling Grotto Heaven Energy.

He then sent the second ’Eternal Water Bear’ into the Grotto Heaven, and calmed the energy fluctuations caused by the new ’Eternal Water Bear’s’ entry.

Yin Shilan utterly trusted Li Shiming, abandoning control of the Grotto Heaven Energy, leaving everything to Li Shiming.

Hardly any half-step Great Power with ambition would allow another cultivator to do this, as it is akin to handing over one’s life.

Her trust in Li Shiming had been built since their first acquaintance.

With each ’Eternal Water Bear’ entering the Grotto Heaven, once all one hundred and eight ’Eternal Water Bears’ entered the Grotto Heaven, Li Shiming did not continue to send the Holy Spirit into the Grotto Heaven.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling, but because Yin Shilan’s Grotto Heaven couldn’t withstand it.

This topic correlates with Yin Shilan’s talent; her talent resulted in a relatively weak Grotto Heaven, and this was still the Grotto Heaven she constructed alongside Little Phoenix.

If she were to construct the Grotto Heaven alone, the number of half-step Great Powers it could bear would reduce further.

Time passed day by day, and ten years elapsed in the blink of an eye.

On the side of Eagle Beak Island, Sky Sea Sect cultivators had long noticed an anomaly, yet the formation surrounding Eagle Beak Island prevented them from approaching.
