Chapter 599: Chapter 346 Harvest (These past few days, I’ve been so busy that I forgot to say, happy National Day!)
Li Shiming controlled the Heavenly Ghost, and tried to manipulate the Nascent Soul Body to operate the “Nanming Leaving Fire” Cultivation Technique, but he discovered that after the Nascent Soul Body lost its Nascent Soul, it also lost the entity of “Nanming Leaving Fire.”
“Nanming Leaving Fire” left along with the Nascent Soul, leaving behind only this empty shell.
Most of the essence of the Nascent Soul Ancestors resided within the Nascent Soul, and the body merely served to protect the Nascent Soul.
During combat with Nascent Soul Ancestors of equal ranking, they seldom used their physical body for battle but instead fought through the Nascent Soul Dharma Form, because the combat power of the Nascent Soul itself was not formidable; what was formidable was its defensive power.
Of course, what’s described here refers to non-Body Refining Nascent Souls; Refining Body Nascent Soul Cultivators are a different system altogether.
A thought subtly stirred in Li Shiming’s mind.
With a flick of his finger, a spark flew out from within his body into the engine room space.
This spark was his own “Nanming Leaving Fire” flame, acquired from the “Nanming Leaving Fire inheritance.”
Normally, the Nascent Soul Body would reject the “Nanming Leaving Fire” flame.
However, due to the current possession of the Heavenly Ghost, which held a contracted relationship with Li Shiming that was not equal, everything about the Heavenly Ghost belonged to Li Shiming; thus, Li Shiming’s “Nanming Leaving Fire” created a connection with the Heavenly Ghost under this contracted relationship.
Moreover, the environment of the engine room space itself, where Li Shiming’s presence permeated everything, meant anything staying too long would be imbued with Li Shiming’s essence.
Thus, the “Nanming Leaving Fire” spark entered into the body of the Nascent Soul, and even though it lacked a core Nascent Soul, the “Nanming Leaving Fire” spark took the place of the Nascent Soul.
Once again, Li Shiming controlled the Heavenly Ghost, attempting to operate the “Nanming Leaving Fire” Cultivation Technique.
The “Nanming Leaving Fire” pattern lit up across the entire body of the Nascent Soul, and flames ascended from the body of the Nascent Soul, engulfing it like fire.
A vast amount of Spiritual Energy was absorbed into the body, and the operation of its cultivation technique had become instinctual to this body, scarcely requiring manipulation by the Heavenly Ghost, and it autonomously began to operate the “Nanming Leaving Fire” Cultivation Technique.
Spiritual Energy transformed into a unique Spiritual Power, forming unique Spiritual Power Patterns that flew towards the “Nanming Leaving Fire” spark.
The “Nanming Leaving Fire” spark received these Spiritual Power Patterns and brightened slightly, a faint energy flowed out of the spark, moving towards the injuries on the Nascent Soul Body to mend them.
Unfortunately, the spark was too small, and the energy it emitted was minimal, making it trivial in the face of the injuries.
But Li Shiming’s eyes were sharp; he had a connection with this “Nanming Leaving Fire” spark and could sense the situation of the spark.
Just within this short period, the “Nanming Leaving Fire” spark had greatly strengthened. If he were to cultivate it with his own Spiritual Power, not to mention the impact of depleting the Spiritual Power in his Golden Core each time on his cultivation, even disregarding this impact, it would take him several months of effort to achieve what the Nascent Soul Body’s operation of the technique achieved this time.
Of course, Li Shiming also understood that the enhancement of “Nanming Leaving Fire” was just a part of cultivating the “Nanming Leaving Fire” Divine Skill, and his body also needed to accept the changes from “Nanming Leaving Fire” as it continued to grow.
Perhaps by the time he ascended to Nascent Soul, his body would also develop patterns of “Nanming Leaving Fire” like those in the Nascent Soul Body.
The cultivation session using the Nascent Soul Body’s “Nanming Leaving Fire” Divine Skill took longer than Li Shiming had anticipated.
This cultivation session took a full ten days to complete.
Only then did he understand why a Nascent Soul Ancestor would seclude themselves for every session of cultivation; such a session had unexpectedly taken ten days.
And such cultivation sessions, generally speaking, needed to be continuous and uninterrupted to yield better results.
Especially when using cultivation auxiliary resources, stopping midway through cultivation meant wastage at every moment.
Therefore, Nascent Soul Ancestors continued to cultivate until they completely used up their cultivation auxiliary resources.
Any waste was unacceptable to a Nascent Soul Ancestor, as the resources they used were all of the fourth rank, precious enough that even a Nascent Soul Ancestor would not tolerate any wastage.
After ten days, the “Nanming Leaving Fire” turned into a small flame, no longer just a spark.
Li Shiming’s smile was almost irrepressible as he retracted the “Nanming Leaving Fire” into his body, feeling its formidable nature.
Honestly, “Nanming Leaving Fire” was far more powerful than the Red Sun Spiritual Fire, but this didn’t mean that “Nanming Leaving Fire” could replace Red Sun Spiritual Fire, at least not in the short term.
Even with the aid of his life-bound magical treasure, the IBMz15, and its 191 brains, these couldn’t assist him in controlling “Nanming Leaving Fire.”
To make an analogy, “Nanming Leaving Fire” in Li Shiming’s hands was like a child holding a hand grenade.
If facing an enemy, he could throw the grenade to kill the enemy, causing tremendous destructive power, but if he wanted to use it to boil water, the result would still be destruction.
In Li Shiming’s hands, “Nanming Leaving Fire” was that grenade, and he could use “Nanming Leaving Fire” for an offensive attack, which was currently the only control method he could manage.
He would need to wait until his realm was capable of controlling “Nanming Leaving Fire” before he could truly utilize “Nanming Leaving Fire,” and then using “Nanming Leaving Fire” to completely replace Red Sun Spiritual Fire for Alchemy would not be difficult.
