Chapter 1924: Chapter 1008: Heavenly Thunder (2)
In just the short time away from the Grotto Heaven, the Thunder Rules had caught up with the Sword Intent Rule and Gold Rules.
He understood where this improvement came from, it was the result of experiencing over ninety Heavenly Thunders in the outside world.
He seemed to have found a way to exploit the main world, by repeatedly entering the main world to experience the baptism of Heavenly Thunder, comprehending the Thunder Rules from it, continually enhancing his understanding of the Thunder Rules.
Li Shiming did as he thought and first employed the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skill.
His Five Elements Rules had all been elevated to the Half-step Great Power level, among which the Wood Element Rules had enhanced the power of the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skill, significantly multiplying the effectiveness of this healing divine skill.
Especially the healing effect on Half-step Great Power level beings had been enhanced to an almost instant cure.
He used the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skill to heal all the ’Eternal Water Bears’, replenishing the life force within them.
Although the ’Eternal Water Bears’ have extremely strong recovery abilities, their recovery is based on life force.
The ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skill works almost perfectly in conjunction with the ’Eternal Water Bears’, greatly enhancing the endurance of the ’Eternal Water Bears’, allowing them to withstand Heavenly Thunder for a longer time.
After finishing these, the ’Daoist Golden Lotus’ also moved ten thousand miles away.
He once again flashed out of the Grotto Heaven, and as soon as he exited the Grotto Heaven, thunderclouds densely covered the sky above.
Subsequently, Heavenly Thunders struck down one after another, and this time he endured over a hundred Heavenly Thunders before returning to the Grotto Heaven.
In the days that followed, Li Shiming continuously entered and exited the Grotto Heaven, and his comprehension of the Thunder Rules was improving at a bewildering speed.
Of course, although the speed of enhancement of the Thunder Rule Runes at the Cave Heaven Core was fast, this fastness is relative, and to elevate the Thunder Rules to the next minor realm, it would take at least several years.
And these several years are full of time enduring the bombardment of Heavenly Thunder while continuously entering and exiting the Grotto Heaven.
In fact, this speed is unimaginably fast, as in the Cultivation World, the progress at the Half-step Great Power level is the slowest process.
Many Half-step Great Powers cannot elevate this minor realm until their life spans are exhausted, and those who can elevate must either have enough life spans or have top-tier talents.
Li Shiming did not know that his actions had thrown the entire Cloud Island Sea into chaos.
Previously, because peak cultivators of the six superpowers dispatched to explore the Divine Palace perished, it first caused the alignment and opposition of the Righteous Path and Demon Sides, and later all superpowers began to suspect each other.
The joint exploration of the Divine Palace by the six superpowers has lasted for tens of thousands of years.
It is precisely because of the massive Great Cultivator resources that can be obtained from the Divine Palace that the six superpowers can suppress the powers in the Cloud Island Sea internally and resist the spirit beasts in the sea externally.
How can those powers which gain Great Cultivator resources through normal means compare with the six superpowers with resources from the Divine Palace?
And this time, not only did they not obtain the Great Cultivator resources from the exploration of the Divine Palace, but even the dispatched peak cultivators perished.
Together with the event hundreds of years ago, where the superpowers consecutively gained nothing from two Divine Palace openings, it drove the superpowers of the Cloud Island Sea mad.
Just when the six superpowers were investigating the death of their peak cultivators and suspicious of each other, strange Heavenly Thunder events occurred.
Suddenly, across various parts of the Cloud Island Sea, Heavenly Tribulations would appear from time to time.
However, these Heavenly Tribulations, whether in power or quantity, were different from normal Heavenly Tribulations.
They considered whether some Half-step Great Power was behind these events, but as long as they thought about the over a hundred times Heavenly Thunder, even a Great Power Avatar wouldn’t dare to play like this.
The six superpowers temporarily put down their suspicions and began investigating the Heavenly Thunder events with all their might.
But no matter how they investigated, there wasn’t any clue.
It’s no wonder, Li Shiming’s movements in the Cloud Island Sea had no purpose; his movements were random.
In addition to his experience in resisting Heavenly Thunder, each time he only appeared for a very short time, usually for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, before returning to the Grotto Heaven.
No matter how much energy the six superpowers exerted in the Cloud Island Sea, they could not easily capture the scenes of Li Shiming undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation, thus failing to uncover the truth of the matter.
Finally, as the six superpowers could not find results for a long time, and the event had a significant impact, the Great Powers of the six superpowers took action.
The Great Power Wuda’s avatar stood at the place where Heavenly Thunder had just disappeared, and upon releasing her perception, she felt a familiar aura.
"Li Shiming, you’ve appeared once again!" Wuda’s avatar murmured in a deep voice.
A gleam flashed in her eyes, the last time Li Shiming appeared was during the period when the Divine Palace opened, and at that time, Li Shiming managed to enter the Divine Palace through unknown means and took away a large amount of Great Cultivator resources.
She acted back then too, but Li Shiming managed to escape.
And this time, Li Shiming reappeared during the opening period of the Divine Palace, making her suspect the truth.
Considering the fact that the six superpowers’ peak cultivators all perished in the Divine Palace exploration, Wuda’s avatar finally determined the truth of the matter.
Wuda’s avatar could almost be certain, Li Shiming was the murderer who killed the six peak cultivators, otherwise, there was no explanation for the timing of Li Shiming’s appearances, which were too coincidental.
Most crucially, Wuda’s avatar had long suspected that Li Shiming possessed another way of entering the Divine Palace.
The last time she tried capturing Li Shiming was precisely to discover how Li Shiming entered the Divine Palace.
Wuda’s avatar took out a communication disk and activated it.
"Wu Fairy, how come you have time to contact me?" A middle-aged man’s voice came from the other side of the communication disk.
"Old Monster Mao Gang, I need to borrow the ’Soul Chasing Guide’!" Wuda’s avatar straightforwardly said.
The Great Power Mao Gang was the Inheritor Great Ability of the Xing Xiu Sect of the Righteous Path, and although the six superpowers of the Righteous and Demon Sides seemed somewhat opposed.
But at the Great Power level, the relationships between the Great Powers of the six superpowers were quite good.
As for the conflicts among the younger generations, it’s something the Great Powers intentionally foster.
Without the continuous conflicts between the three Righteous Path superpowers and the three Demon Path superpowers, how can the younger cultivators gain enough training opportunities?
In a peaceful era, strong cultivators cannot be cultivated.
Among the six Inheritor Great Abilities, Wusa was the only female, making her status unique and receiving care from the other five male Great Powers.
Of course, Wuda’s Great Power didn’t want such care, but over time, she developed the habit of being unreserved.
Like borrowing an Inheritor Treasure, this event would almost be impossible to propose among other Great Powers.
Yet Wuda’s Great Power not only proposed it, but Mao Gang’s Great Power was not too surprised.
"Shall I send the ’Soul Chasing Guide’ to you?" Mao Gang’s Great Power had known Wuda’s Great Power for many years, and he trusted her greatly, he didn’t reject but asked instead.
"My avatar needs it!" Wuda’s avatar said.
"Alright, wait a moment!" Mao Gang Great Power replied and then disconnected the communication disk.
Wuda’s avatar waited for a while, and a light beam flew over from afar at high speed.
She reached out her hand to guide it, and the light fell towards her side.
Mao Gang’s Great Power used a Secret Technique to send over the ’Soul Chasing Guide’, and this was possible because of the unique capabilities of the ’Soul Chasing Guide’, other treasures could not be sent so easily.
The ’Soul Chasing Guide’ is a treasure that enables tracking, capable of tracking through various means.
Just like now, Wuda’s avatar captured a trace of Li Shiming’s aura and placed it into the ’Soul Chasing Guide’.
The ’Soul Chasing Guide’ quickly made a response, indicating a direction.
Without any hesitation, Wuda’s avatar flew towards the indicated direction with the ’Soul Chasing Guide’.
She firmly believed in the ’Soul Chasing Guide’, as it was a unique entity in the Cloud Island Sea when it came to tracking, having historically tracked countless targets possessing stealth methods.
