Li Shiming looked at the valley. The valley was riddled with scars; after enduring that Heavenly Tribulation, this place probably wouldn’t recover for thousands of years.

But as he sensed the aura of the valley, he could feel a strange lightning aura within it.

If a Thunder Cultivator came here, they would be able to perceive this lightning aura that came from a Half-step Great Power Level Heavenly Tribulation, and thereby continuously deepen their comprehension of the Thunder Rules.

It was just a pity that his current realm was a bit too high, and he wasn’t a pure Thunder Cultivator either, so this valley wasn’t of much use to him.

But for Thunder Cultivators whose strength was weaker, this valley would still be extremely useful.

"I didn’t expect to leave the Ten Thousand Beast Sect a cultivation ground!" Li Shiming said to himself with a smile.

If they settled weaker Thunder Cultivators in this valley environment, they could obtain the best lightning insights and greatly enhance their own comprehension of lightning.

This was the effect of more than seventy Half-step Great Power Level Heavenly Tribulations; in the Cultivation World, it was almost impossible for such an environment to appear again.

Unless Li Shiming could obtain another batch of corpses of winged intelligent beings, there would be no way to recreate the wonder of this valley.

Li Shiming smiled and prepared to inform Grandmaster Hu of the situation here and let Grandmaster Hu handle it.

Ever since Yuqing Sect was left with only Great Power Luo Yuan as its lone Inheritor Great Ability, there was no longer any need to send youngsters with Thunder Cultivator talent to Yuqing Sect.

Because of this, every power had more or less gotten some Thunder Cultivator seedlings; it all depended on how they nurtured them.

Although the Ten Thousand Beast Sect itself was not yet a super power, occupying an entire continent, it too had, through the channels that collapsed with Yuqing Sect, acquired several Thunder Cultivator seedlings that had originally been meant to be sent to Yuqing Sect.

With this valley, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s pull on Thunder Cultivators would become extremely great.

The Golden Winged Dapeng flickered in and out of the void, and in less than two days, he returned to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

The reason for rushing back like this was because Jian Wuwei had exited seclusion.

Jian Wuwei had successfully advanced to Great Cultivator, and Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had gained another Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator.

This also raised Jian Wuwei’s status in Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, and the power in Jian Wuwei’s hands would only grow greater.

This was a good thing, but also a bad thing. The good was that Jian Wuwei could obtain more benefits; the bad was that there was quite a chance Jian Wuwei might lose himself in the control of power and delay his cultivation.

After receiving the news that Jian Wuwei had come out of seclusion, Li Yuanba still waited several days, not returning at high speed to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion until all seventy-three Holy Spirits had been refined into Corpse Refining.

As soon as he returned to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and entered his own cave abode within the Sword Cave Heaven, Jian Wuwei came knocking.

"Master, congratulations!" Li Yuanba said with a smile, bowing to Jian Wuwei.

"It was thanks to the Spirit Pills you gave me. When I was breaking through, I felt I was just a tiny bit away from failure; it was by relying on the effect of the Spirit Pills that I managed to advance successfully!" Jian Wuwei said with a smile.

"That was Master’s own effort. Without Master’s effort, even if I prepared more Spirit Pills, you still wouldn’t have been able to advance to Great Cultivator!" Li Yuanba said modestly.

"Let’s not talk about that!" Jian Wuwei waved his hand, then continued, "While I was in seclusion, your life was quite colorful. You’ve practically offended half the Cultivation World!"

Jian Wuwei had originally planned to praise Li Yuanba. Who told Li Yuanba to make such a big name for himself? But he was also afraid Li Yuanba would act recklessly.

Slaying Peak Great Cultivators, slaying Half-step Great Powers—these records made Jian Wuwei’s heart pound with fear just looking at them.

"Master!" Although Li Yuanba was a Peak Great Cultivator, he still honestly listened as Jian Wuwei pointed out his shortcomings.

"You have your own opportunities; I shouldn’t be lecturing you!" Jian Wuwei only now remembered Li Yuanba’s realm as he spoke.

Perhaps if not for those records of slaying Peak Great Cultivators and Half-step Great Powers, Li Yuanba would not have reached his current height.

"Master, congratulations on advancing to Great Cultivator. This is a gift from me!" Li Yuanba changed the subject as he spoke.

He handed a long case to Jian Wuwei, who looked the case over with some curiosity.

When Jian Wuwei opened the long case, he found a flying sword inside—a rather special flying sword whose quality had reached the Spiritual Treasure level.

This was something Li Yuanba had asked Li Shiming to personally forge. From design to manufacture, it was entirely custom-built by IBMz15 for Jian Wuwei.

"This is too precious!" Even as Li Yuanba’s master, who was usually casual about minor matters, Jian Wuwei found the value of a Spiritual Treasure Level Flying Sword to be beyond his imagination.

The Spiritual Treasure flying sword in Jian Wuwei’s hand only had four hundred million sharpness runes, four hundred million speed runes, and four hundred million durability runes.

A Spiritual Treasure flying sword with twelve hundred million auxiliary spell runes was extremely well balanced in every aspect.

This was also the best gift Li Yuanba could prepare for Jian Wuwei. For a Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator, there was no better gift than this Spiritual Treasure Level Flying Sword.

"Was it that friend of yours who helped you refine this?" Jian Wuwei looked at the Spiritual Treasure flying sword, eyes full of appreciation, and asked.

He had in fact already guessed who had refined this Spiritual Treasure flying sword. Li Yuanba didn’t have many friends in the Cultivation World, and with Li Shiming being special enough, besides Li Shiming he couldn’t think of anyone else capable of refining such a flying sword.

"Yes." Li Yuanba did not hide it and answered with a smile.

Previously, he had had some misgivings about exposing the fact of the Spiritual Treasure flying sword, but things were different now. Li Shiming had enough power to protect himself and wasn’t afraid of news getting out that he could refine Spiritual Treasure Level Flying Swords.
