Li Shiming prepared for the worst and made complete preparations.
His consciousness slowly penetrated into the core heart of the Cave Heaven Metal Element, and then entered the space opened up within it.
The space was carefully arranged. A huge golden sword stood in the space, holding up the space like a pillar.
Next to the huge golden sword, there was a person sitting.
It is better to say that it is a corpse than a human being, but even if this corpse is dead, the aura of the body prevents Li Shiming's spiritual consciousness from getting close to it.
"Don't disturb my master, let my master sleep peacefully!" Just when Li Shiming's consciousness tried to approach the corpse again, a faint consciousness came from the golden sword on the side.
He was slightly startled. It turned out that the real core of the cave was this golden sword. He used the forbidden spirit talisman to seal the heart outside. It did not directly affect the golden sword, but it allowed the spirit of the weapon to retain a trace of consciousness.
This consciousness was unable to contact the outside world due to the forbidden spirit talisman, but when his spiritual consciousness invaded this space, he couldn't help but make a request.
Li Shiming did not let his consciousness get close to the corpse anymore, he observed the corpse.
The corpse should be that of Lang Cai, a powerful being who stood at the top of the world of immortality. In the end, he failed to reach the ascension and stopped there.
"I won't disturb Lang Cai's sleep, but I need your help to control the golden rules of the cave outside for me!" Li Shiming's spiritual consciousness came into contact with the golden sword, and he used his spiritual consciousness to convey his thoughts.
"As long as it doesn't disturb my master's sleep, I agree to your request!" Qi Ling simply agreed and immediately agreed.
Li Shiming regretted a little. Maybe when Li Yuanba was in the cave and used Lang Cai's powerful body as a threat, maybe he could really become the master of the cave. In that case, the cave would not be destroyed.
But this is just a guess. Judging from the methods left by Lang Cai, it is more likely that Li Yuanba will be severely damaged or even wiped out by the methods left by Lang Cai.
"I will seal this space so that it will not disturb Lang Cai's sleep, but you need to leave here and settle in the outside space!" Li Shiming said to the weapon spirit without force.
The weapon spirits are still dominated by the powerful Lang Cai. If they are forcibly subdued, they may do something drastic.
In addition, choosing to use Lang Cai's powerful body as a threat is also the worst plan. Maybe the weapon spirit will really be threatened, but there is another possibility that the weapon spirit will self-destruct.
After all, the weapon spirit is not a truly intelligent life, and its wisdom has a bottom line.
Li Shiming lifted the forbidden spirit talisman outside, and the golden sword flashed with light.
The golden long sword shrunk to the size of a small flying sword and flew around the sitting Lang Cai. Finally, it took the initiative to contact Li Shiming's spiritual consciousness and let go of his recognition rune.
Li Shiming didn't hesitate, he cast a master-recognition tactic and flew toward the golden flying sword.
He felt that the golden flying sword seemed to be resisting, but it was only a slight resistance. It seemed that it was an instinct, but he gave up the resistance again.
The Master Recognition Technique was printed into the Master Recognition Rune, and Li Shiming felt a connection with the golden flying sword.
"Lingbao-level flying sword!" Li Shiming was slightly surprised. He did not expect that the core of the cave was actually a Lingbao-level flying sword. This may be the natal magic weapon of Lang Cai.
"New master, I only promise to control the rules of the gold system for Dongtian, and I will not become your attack weapon!" The weapon spirit said to him through the master mark.
Li Shiming was even more surprised. He had never seen a magic weapon still have its own ideas and discuss power with the owner after recognizing its owner.
He checked the recognition mark and found that the recognition mark was indeed successful.
And from his perception, this Lingbao Flying Sword is even 100% controllable, unlike the snatched magic weapon, which can only have half of the control, so that it can only display half of its power.
This can only mean one thing, that is, the spirit of this Lingbao Flying Sword, which was cultivated by Lang Cai, is extremely independent and has independent thoughts.
"This is natural. What I promised will not change!" Li Shiming conveyed his meaning.
He had no intention of disturbing Lang Cai's physical body. Not to mention that his spiritual consciousness could not get close to Lang Cai's physical body. Even if he could get close to him, he would not have any means to use Lang Cai's physical body.
Lang Cai's physical body was really too powerful, far too powerful for him to covet now.
Besides, this is the corpse of a powerful person. If he really refined Lang Cai’s body into a corpse or something else, he couldn’t guarantee whether other powerful people would directly give him to him if they found out about it.
Killed.
He couldn't guarantee whether this great man, Lang Cai, had any powerful friends who would punish him for insulting his corpse.
Anyway, he initially just wanted the core of the Cave Heaven Gold Element, and didn't think about anything else.
The golden flying sword flew away from the heart space, and Li Shiming did not break his promise. He sealed the heart space again with the Forbidden Spirit Talisman and placed it in the Forbidden Spirit Jade Box.
He placed the forbidden spirit jade box in the soil under the sacred tree, and the weapon spirit in the golden flying sword could monitor the jade box at any time.
The weapon spirit inside the golden flying sword saw Li Shiming's operation. It was very satisfied with Li Shiming's behavior of keeping his promises. It began to mobilize the golden flying sword, and golden rules spread out from the sword body.
"This is an unfinished cave. With your cultivation level, Master, you should not have such a cave. Although this cave completes the five elements, you still need to master all the rules of the five elements to reach the basic understanding before you can truly transform this cave into a cave."
The master’s cave is the foundation of the Mahayana!” The weapon spirit issued the rules of the metal system while checking the situation in the cave in its own way. It put forward its own opinions to Li Shiming.
This time Li Shiming was really shocked. He was only a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Not to mention that he could not return to the sect. Even if he returned to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would not be able to provide him with powerful and relevant training experience.
As for the clone Li Yuanba, as Li Yuanba, he must at least reach the realm of a great monk to be qualified to access the Mahayana knowledge of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.
But this weapon spirit actually mastered the knowledge of the Mahayana period and was able to provide him with guidance.
This was even more important than getting the final golden rules to complete the Half Life Cave Heaven. He knew his direction.
Although the 'Art of Heaven and Man' also has the cultivation content of the Mahayana period, because 'Art of Heaven and Man' does not have the cultivation experience of the predecessors, many contents need to be understood by him, and he can practice based on his understanding.
With the guidance of the Golden Flying Sword, he may avoid detours in his promotion to the Mahayana stage.
After recognizing the owner of the golden flying sword, Li Shiming also learned the name of the golden flying sword, which was called 'Golden Rainbow Sword'.
The weapon spirit of this Golden Rainbow Sword is the most intelligent among all its weapon spirits.
This is normal. The refining time of all his spirit treasures is not long. Even if the spirit treasures formed are very extraordinary, it still takes time to grow.
The growth time of any Lingbao's weapon spirit must be at least a hundred years. One hundred years can only make the Lingbao's weapon spirit barely usable. It will take hundreds or even thousands of years for the weapon spirit to grow to sufficient wisdom.
Of course, the growth of a weapon spirit does not only require time, but also requires the cultivation of the master and watering it with a lot of knowledge.
The weapon spirit of Jinhong Sword has been following Lang Cai for countless years, and has memorized a lot of cultivation experience under the influence of his ears and eyes.
In the knowledge of the weapon spirit, as long as Li Shiming resettles the original owner, this knowledge can be communicated to the new owner without reservation. Anyway, the original owner has not placed any restrictions on this aspect.
For the first time, Li Shiming knew that this half-life cave could become his own cave.
Based on this cave, one can step from a great monk into the Mahayana stage.
"You are the weapon spirit of the Jinhong Sword. I will call you Jinhong from now on. If I get a complete powerful cave, can I use that cave to become the foundation for me to advance to the Mahayana stage?" Li Shiming thought for a while and asked.
The avatar Li Yuanba had previously obtained an explanation for this question from Wu Qi, but Wu Qi was only a mid-stage Nascent Soul monk, so it is really difficult to say whether the answer he gave was accurate.
He wanted to get an accurate answer from Jinhong, the tool spirit, so that he could be more prepared.
"Master, your aura does not match the aura of my original master. I can sense the five elements and thunder and lightning in the master's body. This cave is more suitable for the master. It is not suitable for you to merge with my original master's cave!"
Qi Ling Jin Hong replied.
The wisdom of the weapon spirit Jinhong is indeed very high. Although it is a wrong guess, it is also because before Lang Daneng collapsed in the cave, the weapon spirit Jinhong was sealed by the forbidden spirit talisman and could not understand the situation outside the cave.
It also thought that Li Shiming planned to use Lang Cai's powerful cave as the foundation to advance to the Mahayana stage.
"It's not your former master's cave. Your former master's cave has collapsed!" Li Shiming said without any intention of hiding it.
"I hope my original master won't blame me for not taking good care of the cave after he wakes up!" Weapon Spirit Jin Hong said with sadness after hearing the news.
The weapon spirit has emotions, and these emotions are not simulated, but true feelings. This once again confirms the wisdom of the tool spirit Jinhong.
"If there is an unowned cave that perfectly matches your master's skills, it can become the foundation for promotion to the Mahayana stage!" The weapon spirit Jinhong's emotions came and went quickly, and he went on to answer Li Shiming's previous question.
"One more question, I have five Nascent Souls, do I need to prepare to open five caves?" Li Shiming finally found someone he could trust and had enough knowledge to ask, so he asked the question he was most concerned about.
This time, Qi Ling Jinhong hesitated for about a cup of tea. Li Shiming's question made his knowledge reserve somewhat insufficient.
Having followed Lang Cai for thousands of years, it can be said to be extremely knowledgeable, but it has never heard of a Nascent Soul monk possessing five Nascent Souls.
In order to confirm his situation, Li Shiming had his Nascent Souls come out of his body one by one above his head.
Five Nascent Souls are suspended in the air, and each Nascent Soul is filled with terrifying chaotic energy fluctuations.
"I can't answer this question, but I am sure that although the master can advance to the Mahayana stage, if he wants to go further, he needs all five Nascent Souls to open up the cave and cultivate the cave to the extreme!" Weapon Spirit Jin Hong paused for a moment.
Then he answered.
Fortunately, Li Shiming was asking the weapon spirit Jin Hong. If he had asked this question to any powerful person, the powerful person would probably look at him like a fool.
How difficult has he set for himself? It is already difficult to become a powerful person, and the chance of becoming a powerful person is extremely small.
But he suddenly increased the difficulty of ascension five times. Other great powers only need to cultivate one cave heaven, but he has to cultivate five cave heavens.
The resources required alone are five times that of other powers, not to mention the mental effort and time required.
Of course, the five Nascent Souls gave him not only trouble, but also greater strength.
His energy reserve is five times that of other monks of the same level. If he uses the Yuanying Dharma out of his body to perform the Nascent Soul Dharma, he can defeat five against one, and the five Nascent Ying Dharma will perfectly cooperate.
In the Mahayana stage, as long as he opens up one cave, it is equivalent to one more Mahayana combat power. When he opens five caves, his final combat power will be the combined combat power of the five great powers.
"Master, your breath is not the same as the energy in your Yuanying body. The energy in your Yuanying body is chaotic energy. This is the energy that only ascended monks are rumored to be able to control!" Suddenly the weapon spirit spoke again.
Li Shiming was stunned again. Ascended monks are monks in the late Mahayana period. The monks in this period are preparing to survive the tribulation and ascend, so they are called ascended monks.
The weapon spirit actually described the energy of the 'Heavenly Art' that he cultivated as energy that only ascended monks can control.
Although he felt that the chaotic energy of the 'Heavenly Art' was very convenient and powerful, he did not believe that it had reached the level of an ascended monk.
Not to mention the ascended monk, his current chaotic energy, even with the spiritual treasures and treasures on his body, can only fight against the great monk.
It is far away from the lowest level of great power, how can it be compared with the ascended monks.
"You said that the chaotic energy in my Nascent Soul is something that only ascended monks can control. Why don't I feel that this chaotic energy is so powerful?" Li Shiming asked as he thought of it.
"Master, I can't answer this question. Even the original master of the Ascended Monk doesn't know much about it!" Weapon Spirit Jin Hong replied.
Li Shiming then asked some of the questions he had accumulated one by one, especially the many incomprehensible things he encountered during his practice of the 'Heavenly Man Art'.
Qi Ling Jin Hong is like a big encyclopedia. As long as he asks questions, most of them have answers.
Even if there are questions that cannot be answered, some relevant explanations will be given.
During this question and answer, Li Shiming became more and more clear about his cultivation path. He was no longer groping forward as before, but had a clear cultivation path.
