CHAPTER 971: CHAPTER 532: THE INHERITED ABODE

Above Li Shiming’s head, the Wood Thunder Nascent Soul flew out and waved at the Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer. The Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer flew into the small hand of the Wood Thunder Nascent Soul.

As the Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer entered the small hand of the Wood Thunder Nascent Soul, it also shrank, becoming as small as a toy.

He chose the Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer as the life-bound magical treasure of the Wood Thunder Nascent Soul. When the Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer entered the hand of the Wood Thunder Nascent Soul, it transformed into another state of energy.

The Wood Thunder Nascent Soul played with the Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer for a while before turning around and returning to Li Shiming’s body.

At this moment, Li Shiming had two life-bound magical treasures, but only one could manifest, which was the Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer. The other life-bound magical treasure, IBMz15, was the life-bound magical treasure of the Fire Thunder Nascent Soul, in a completely energy-based state, and it was not an offensive or defensive life-bound magical treasure at all, fully merging with the Fire Thunder Nascent Soul.

He took six Mustard Seed Rings from the hands of the Golden Corpse. Although the six cultivators were all Loose Cultivators, they were still Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, and there might be some good things.

Speaking of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, through the battle process with the Golden Corpse and Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, he also discovered the weakness of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

The combat power of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators was divided into two levels: one was the ordinary state, and the other was the Nascent Soul Dharma Form state.

Generally speaking, Nascent Soul cultivators in the ordinary state were enough to cope with normal situations. Even when encountering strong enemies, the spirit of the Nascent Soul Stage allowed Nascent Soul cultivators enough reaction time to activate the Nascent Soul Dharma Form to counter the enemy.

However, when facing enemies like the Golden Corpse or the Illusion Spirit Dragon, the weakness of the Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner’s low physical defense became evidently exposed.

Among the several talent abilities of the Golden Corpse Nanming, the extreme speed talent was just one of them. The strongest attack ability had not been used in the last battle at all.

Because there was simply no need, with extremely fast speed and the Golden Corpse’s full-force strike, Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners in an ordinary state were utterly unable to withstand this strike.

Perhaps only when the Golden Corpse Nanming encountered the Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners of a major sect would it need to use an offensive divine skill like ’Nanming Leaving Fire,’ just like how the Illusion Spirit Dragon had not used its specialty of deadly poison.

Thinking of this, he divided six divine senses, each entering into one of the six Mustard Seed Rings.

"So poor!" He muttered, shaking his head in lament as he explored.

Thinking about it, although the Dongqi Continent had a lot of resources, most of these resources were controlled by various major forces. It was already the limit for a Loose Cultivator to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, so how could they obtain more resources?

"Huh?" At this moment, the six divine senses also discovered something unusual.

From the six Mustard Seed Rings, he extracted six broken jade fragments.

When the six broken jade fragments were merged by his divine sense and infused with spiritual power, the jade fragments transformed into a complete jade tablet.

A map appeared on the jade tablet, pointing to a location, and at the same time, a piece of information transmitted into his divine sense.

It turned out that this jade tablet was the relic residence of a predecessor cultivator. Such relics Li Shiming had also explored when he was in the Beishu Continent.

However, the relic grades on the Beishu Continent were very low. Major sects were hardly interested in relics, relatively speaking, relics were resources Loose Cultivators liked.

The reason is simple: every Nascent Soul cultivator on the Beishu Continent had a background. Even if they had a cave dwelling, it wouldn’t appear somewhere in the wild; it would be either within the sect or at an important resource point.

There were very few cave dwellings of Golden Core Stage cultivators in the relics on the Beishu Continent, most were cave dwellings of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

Of course, for Loose Cultivators on the Beishu Continent, even a relic of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator was extremely valuable.

Compared to the relics on the Beishu Continent, the map in front of Li Shiming recorded the relic of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner, which was a significant level above the relics on the Beishu Continent.

Li Shiming became a little interested and withdrew his spiritual power, turning the jade tablet back into six fragments.

It was apparent that the six Nascent Soul Early Stage Independent Practitioners originally intended to explore this relic but were drawn away by the Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’s heavenly tribulation, resulting in their deaths.

Anyway, the spirit beast tide in the sea would last a long time, and spending a little time wouldn’t be a problem, so he might as well go see this relic first.

Thinking of this, he took a step forward, and the location on the map had already been analyzed to its exact position by the life-bound magical treasure IBMz15 using the drone satellite system.

Before setting off, he went to fetch the Illusion Spirit Dragon.

Several hours later, hovering above a forest, Li Shiming stared at the pool below.

If he hadn’t miscalculated, that pool was the location recorded on the jade tablet.

Several divine senses swept over the pool, and his expression slightly changed.

He didn’t sense any formation’s aura, nor did he sense any spatial aura, either he found the wrong location, or the opponent’s techniques were able to shield divine sense scanning.

He landed next to the pool. Although the pool wasn’t large, its depth was extremely deep. His divine sense entered it and found that after reaching ten meters below, there was rock.

The pool’s water source came from the gaps between rocks. Following the gaps with his divine sense and continuing downwards, he explored more than forty meters, encountered many forks, and finally found the deepest part.

The water source of the pool was spewed out from the mouth of a stone lion sculpture. Behind the stone lion sculpture was a stone door.

Li Shiming smiled. The technique used by this predecessor cultivator was quite good, using cultivation techniques to form a pool to conceal the location of their cave dwelling.
