Chapter 57: A Storm Brewing

Hearing the black stone’s voice, Li Ming immediately stopped.
He picked up the black stone again.
“So it really is you?”
“For you to have been willing to so casually take out a low-grade profound-tier martial skill, just who exactly are you?”
Li Ming continued to question the black stone. It was obviously whatever it was inside the black stone that had absorbed his spirit stones, and it was also the reason why the spiritual qi in the area was constantly being absorbed.
Hearing this, black stone chuckled.
“Hehe.”
“Hehe, your grandpa! Just hurry up and tell me!”
Li Ming looked at the black stone fiercely. He had been very easy-going in
front of outsiders all these years, but that did not mean that he did not have a temper!
When he thought about how the spirit stones that he had worked so hard for were gone just like that, he really could not help but become furious!
“Cough, cough, you do not need to know who I am for the time being. You’re in the body cultivation foundation establishment realm, as well as in the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm. Moreover, your divine soul is even stronger than cultivators of the same stage. You are an outstanding talent.” “Nowadays, there are not many people who cultivate both their body and qi.” “You and I are fated. Keeping me will be of great use to you.”
Li Ming got a certain gut feeling when he heard the black stone’s words.
He felt that it was up to something.
“You aren’t planning to wait for my cultivation to strengthen or break through before coming out to possess me, are you?”
“Do you think I don’t know such a lame trick?”
When Li Ming said that, the black stone was instantly stunned.
The voice coming from the stone stopped abruptly.
After a long while, it laughed awkwardly.
“Young man, you should be happy when cultivating. Why must you be so serious?”
Hearing the black stone’s words, Li Ming looked on expressionlessly. Then, he picked up the stone from the ground.
He was getting ready to smash it down onto the ground until it shattered!
He was curious about what was inside the black stone.
“Cut the crap! Are you going to make me take you as your master, then teach me cultivation, and then I’ll have to find you a physical body or something to help you revive?”
“Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?”
Li Ming’s words made the black stone quiet down.
After a while, the black stone sighed helplessly.
“Are people so hard to deceive nowadays?”
“Forget it. Sigh, kid, I’m too weak to carry out those things that you said.”
“If you have any problems with your cultivation, you can ask me. If you need any techniques, I can help you, but there are conditions.”
“You need to give me enough spiritual qi to keep me awake.”
Hearing the black stone’s words, Li Ming gently put down the stone this time.
That was more like it.
With the black stone having been able to casually give out a profound-tier martial skill, it clearly Imew a lot more than he did. It was likely that it even knew more powerful techniques!
It might not be a bad thing to keep it!
“Okay, I can help you.”
“However, since you know my situation, you should help me out a bit. Do I have to be ambitious to unleash the Imperial Finger that you gave me?”
Li Ming asked directly.
However, the black stone’s answer stunned Li Ming.
“Ambition?”
“Is that all that you think you need?”
“Without the will to fight against the heavens, how can you unleash the power of the Imperial Finger?”
“You’ve just stepped into cultivation, so you still need to polish your temperament.”
“Take your time to comprehend it. Experiences aren’t something that can just be imparted with a few words.”
The black stone’s words surprised Li Ming.
The will to fight against the heavens?
Isn’t cultivation supposed to follow the will of the heavens?
Why should I go against the heavens?
Won’t I just end up getting punished by the heavens?
However, the black stone’s words made sense.
Experience was not something that could just be imparted through words, but something that had to be experienced personally. It was only by experiencing it personally that one could understand the meaning behind their actions.
“That’s true.”
“Then let me ask you, how can I achieve complete compatibility with my body and qi?”
‘You should know the situation in my dantian.”
At this moment, what Li Ming needed to solve was the problem of fusion.
Previously, he had used the Five Divine Fists and Cauldron Transformation Art together, which was why he had erupted with shocking power.
However, he does not succeed in using them together every time.
There was a rejection between the two techniques, which made it so that the fusion did not work every time.
Hearing Li Ming’s doubts, the black stone answered him in a straightforward manner.
“You have to learn how to make them compatible.”
“The Ancient Spirit Mysterious Art and the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art that you cultivate have innate similarities. Once you find the proper way to piece them together, the problem will naturally be solved.”
“Alright, I’ll continue to rest. Don’t forget to provide me with spirit stones to absorb.”
After the black stone finished saying that, it turned completely silent.
No matter how much Li Ming called out to the black stone, it did not respond.
However, the black stone’s words made Li Ming realize something.
The Golden Crow Body Tempering Art was given to him by that woman. It was an extraordinary body cultivation technique.
As for the Ancient Spirit Mysterious Art, he had found it in the scripture depository.
The two cultivation techniques did indeed have some similarities to them, but he would need to spend some time pondering on what those exactly were.
Thinking of this, Li Ming also began to meditate.
He began to think deeply.
The path of cultivation was long and boring, but at the same time, it was filled with danger.
This was true for both individual cultivators and sects.
Ever since Li Ming and Lu Lan brought back the demons’ corpses, the Consecration Hall had spent some time to investigate them and finally figured out their agenda.
At this moment.
In the Consecration Hall.
The consecrators looked at each other.
One of the consecrators said, “We must take the Demon Sect’s operations this time very seriously. It appears that they want to dominate the entire Heavenly Southern Region.”
“Using evil techniques to create a teleportation formation, I’m afraid they’re planning to completely surround the Divine Will Sect!”
“The sect master still needs some more time. We have to guard the sect well!”
The head consecrator spoke, and the rest of the consecrators nodded in agreement.
“Why don’t we let the disciples go out and search the surroundings?”
“After the disciple assessment, it should be nearly time for the Eastern Continent’s Promotion Conference!”
“I’m afraid that it’s not only the Demon Sect that has begun making moves. Recently, the other sects have also begun making a stir.”
Once the outer disciples got involved, tensions between sects would erupt.
The Eastern Continent held a Promotion Conference every five years. While it was called a conference, in fact, it was the eve of war between the major sects in the Eastern Continent!
Through the slaughter between sects and annexation, those that survived and reigned supreme would become even stronger!
Plundering resources and fighting for opportunities was the most common occurrence in the cultivation world.
Without a doubt, as the current overlord of the Heavenly Southern Region, the Divine Will Sect had long become the target of numerous forces.
“Yes, that’s the only way for now.”
“Right, pay more attention to that disciple Li Ming. When the sect master comes out, bring him here.”
“That disciple’s talent is rare and he cultivates both his body and qi.” contemporary romance
After the head consecrator said that, the others nodded.
At this moment, all the disciples of the five halls of the Divine Will Sect became busy.
Many disciples were sent out to carry out missions.
The entire Heavenly Southern Region was filled with cultivators!
Unknowingly, two months had passed.
Li Ming remained in the Martial Hall. Although there was no longer any spiritual qi siphoning taking place in the area, the other disciples still did not dare to enter.
This provided Li Ming with a quiet environment.
During these two months, Li Ming had been continuously circulating the
Ancient Spirit Mysterious Art. At times, he would even circulate both the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art and the Ancient Spirit Mysterious Art at the same time.
Again and again, he searched for similarities!
Finally, two months later, Li Ming successfully completed what he had set out to do!
With the body as the trunk and the foundation establishment stone platform in his dantian as the roots, he perfectly integrated the Ancient Spirit Arcane Art with the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art.
With this, the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, which originally only had twelve levels, now had an additional level!
It now had thirteen levels!
Li Ming had never expected such an outcome.
With him cultivating both body and qi at the same time, Li Ming clearly did not have too many restrictions when it came to using skills or techniques..
