Chapter 1966: Chapter 1029: Phantom_2

As for the energy production that the other two hundred and more half-step fifth-grade Spirit Pets add to the Grotto Heaven, it’s actually secondary.

Thus, the growth speed of the Phantom Clone’s Grotto Heaven is faster than that during Li Shiming’s time.

Of course, the most important factor in all of this is the Great Power level ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ within the Phantom Clone. Once the radius of the Grotto Heaven reached ten thousand meters, and the internal space reached the extreme limit of a half-step Great Power, the energy within the Grotto Heaven increasingly approached the level of the Great Power.

The Great Power level ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ within the Phantom Clone allowed the cultivation of the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’ to produce Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power that was infinitely close to the Great Power level, and thus the energy within the Grotto Heaven was also infinitely close to the Great Power level.

The reason it couldn’t achieve Great Power level is because the Grotto Heaven had not broken through.

Li Shiming once again drove out all of the Thunder Cultivators from the ’Thunder Prison’, and the Thunder Cultivators were already accustomed to this and welcomed it greatly.

Because as long as Patriarch Li Shiming occupied the ’Thunder Prison’, the ’Thunder Prison’ would be enhanced, which was extremely beneficial to them as Thunder Cultivators.

Li Shiming brought the Phantom Clone to the ’Thunder Prison’, where he shared his insights on advancing to the Great Power with the Phantom Clone.

The Phantom Clone, sensing the upcoming opportunity for advancement, operated the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’ and stepped out of the Grotto Heaven, while maintaining the Grotto Heaven in an open state.

Almost at the moment when the Phantom Clone appeared in the outside world, there was strong repulsion from Heaven and Earth.

Li Shiming sensed slightly and discovered that this round of Heavenly Tribulation was astonishingly powerful.

He quickly took out the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’, and also enhanced the Thunder Resistance Secret Method through the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’, strengthening the Phantom Clone’s resistance to thunder.

At the same time, a ’Hundred Herbs Pill’ was swallowed by the Phantom Clone.

The Phantom Clone is not a real cultivator, so ordinary cultivator healing Secret Techniques and Spirit Pills are ineffective for it.

Much like the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills, which have no effect on the Phantom Clone.

On the contrary, a ’Hundred Herbs Pill’ that contains massive high-grade energy is a life-saving remedy for the Phantom Clone.

What the Phantom Clone loses when attacked is energy, and what the ’Hundred Herbs Pill’ replenishes is energy.

Moreover, the Thunder Resistance Secret Method invoked by Li Shiming had effects far surpassing before, with the quality of the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ reaching almost the peak of Spiritual Treasures, coupled with the enhancement of the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’, bringing the effect of the Thunder Resistance Secret Method nearly to the peak of Great Power level.

The thunderclouds gathered, and the Heavenly Thunder descended.

Heavenly Thunders continuously struck the body of the Phantom Clone, but the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’ it cultivated inherently had a strong resistance to lightning.

Furthermore, Li Shiming’s addition of the Thunder Resistance Secret Method, plus the fact that it didn’t take out any magical treasures or spiritual treasures to oppose the Heavenly Thunder, meant that although the power of the Heavenly Thunder was strong, it wasn’t overwhelmingly formidable.

The Phantom Clone persisted all the way through the eighth Heavenly Thunder.

With the ninth Heavenly Thunder descending, the ’Hundred Herbs Pill’ was swallowed by the Phantom Clone, converting to a small amount of energy entering its body.

The body of the Phantom Clone continued to enlarge, a change induced by excessive energy.

At this moment, when the ninth Heavenly Thunder struck, hitting the Phantom Clone’s body, the Thunder Resistance Secret Method finally failed to hold on, and the enhanced resistance dissipated.

The Phantom Clone’s body began to crumble amid the lightning, with energy constantly detaching from it, turning into energy fragments that dissipated in the air.

Nevertheless, the energy generated by the ’Hundred Herbs Pill’ continued to repair the damage caused by the Heavenly Thunder, balancing the loss and gain, which slowed the reduction in the Phantom Clone’s size.

The power of the Heavenly Thunder reduced the Phantom Clone’s body to a size of one foot, a size where a normal cultivator would have fallen countless times.

But the Phantom Clone is an energy entity, and as long as its soul is not completely extinguished, it can continue to exist.

Finally, the ninth Heavenly Thunder disappeared, and the ’Thunder Prison’ returned to its previous state.

With a slight movement of Li Shiming’s mind, the Phantom Clone took out another ’Hundred Herbs Pill’; he wasn’t concerned about wastage, using the ’Hundred Herbs Pill’ to restore the body of the Phantom Clone.

A vast amount of energy from the ’Hundred Herbs Pill’ allowed the Phantom Clone’s body to heal rapidly.

Once the body of the Phantom Clone was restored, even exceeding its original size, the Heaven and Earth Reward also arrived.

The Heaven and Earth Reward was split into two parts, one directed at the Phantom Clone’s main body, the other at the Grotto Heaven.

Without accepting the Heaven and Earth Reward Energy, the Grotto Heaven could only be constrained by a radius of ten thousand meters, essentially an incomplete half-step Great Power Grotto Heaven.

Only by receiving the Heaven and Earth Reward Energy could the Grotto Heaven connect with the outside world, allowing more rules to enter the Grotto Heaven, making it more complete and allowing the Grotto Heaven to break through its confines.

As for the Phantom Clone, as the Heaven and Earth Reward Energy entered its body, there was a wondrous transformation occurring.

The originally energy-materialized body began transforming into a flesh body under the effect of the Heaven and Earth Reward Energy.

Why was the strength of the Great Power Avatar weak? It’s because the Great Power Avatar couldn’t generate energy internally, couldn’t invoke the Grotto Heaven’s energy, and due to the energy-materialized body, it had very weak defensive power.

The current change in the Phantom Clone is eliminating all the weaknesses of the Great Power Avatar.

While the Great Power Avatar couldn’t generate energy, the Phantom Clone with a Grotto Heaven could accumulate energy continuously within it, extracting energy from the Grotto Heaven as needed without requiring Li Shiming, its master, to provide energy.

And by transforming into a flesh body, it gained the same defensive power as the normal Great Power’s flesh body, removing any shortcomings in its defense.

When the Heaven and Earth Reward Energy disappeared, the Phantom Clone in Li Shiming’s perception had already become a true Great Power Thunder Cultivator.

No matter how he perceived, from the inside to the outer surface, from the external world to the Grotto Heaven, everything indicated that this was a Thunder Cultivation Great Power.

Even the soul split by Li Shiming was enhanced considerably by the Heaven and Earth Reward Energy, making it no different from a real Thunder Cultivation Great Power.

The Phantom Clone held a fifth-grade ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ in hand, and Li Shiming had it refined as its natal magical treasure.

Although this fifth-grade ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ was Great Power Leng Luo’s natal magical treasure, not as good as the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ crafted by Li Shiming himself, it was nonetheless a true fifth-grade Spiritual Treasure crafted from fifth-grade materials, the setup of a true Great Power.

In the future, once Li Shiming’s Grotto Heaven produced fifth-grade Thunder Material, and a new ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ had been refined, Li Shiming could then allow the Phantom Clone to use the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ he was using.

For this reason, Li Shiming had no intention of replacing the spiritual treasure for the Phantom Clone.

With the Phantom Clone overcoming the Great Power Heavenly Tribulation, the external Cultivation World forces were nearing madness.

How could the intelligence personnel stationed on Dongqi Continent possibly mistake a fifth-grade Artifact Tribulation for a Great Power Heavenly Tribulation? Upon discovering the appearance of a Great Power Heavenly Tribulation at ’Thunder Prison’, they immediately reported this information back to their respective sects.

The news of yet another Free Great Power appearing in the Dongqi Continent’s Ten Thousand Beast Sect left every Great Power utterly shocked. With the emergence of a genius like Li Shiming in Ten Thousand Beast Sect, could it be another genius of the same kind emerging?

The belief that the Phantom Clone is a Free Great Power depends on where it endured the tribulation. If it were an Inheritor Great Ability, it would undertake the tribulation within the sect’s gates, not in a ’Thunder Prison’ far from the sect.

The Inheritor Great Ability’s Grotto Heaven is an Inheritance Cave Heaven, which binds it to the sect’s gates, preventing the Inheritor Great Ability from venturing too far from the sect.

The emergence of yet another Free Great Power, one with an unclear background to the entire Cultivation World, caused the intelligence departments of the great powers to be scolded ruthlessly.

This Free Great Power who endured the tribulation at the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s ’Thunder Prison’ couldn’t possibly have spontaneously emerged from a crack in the stone!

The major powers speculated wildly about who this Free Great Power was and what relationship it had with Li Shiming.
