Chapter 1818: Chapter 955: Immortal Fire (Part 2)

Even if he has refined the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, given his current realm, wanting to completely control the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ is still somewhat lacking.

As long as the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ leaks even a trace of its power, it poses a deadly threat to Yin Shilan, who just stepped into the Great Cultivator Realm.

Li Shiming stood in the void. With a slight movement of his mind, the ’Beidou Formation Map’ instantly activated, forming a grand formation centered on him.

The formation imprisoned the space around him to prevent the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ from losing control.

Having made the safest preparations, he then took out the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ from the ’Absolute Flame Spirit Gourd’.

The small ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ at this moment was like an obedient child, dancing around Li Shiming after coming out of the ’Absolute Flame Spirit Gourd’.

Li Shiming could sense the joyful emotions of the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ which was compensated by the Infinite Sect to Li Yuanba, greatly differed from this one obtained from the half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao.

The Red Demon had refined the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ many days before him, and the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ didn’t have the miraculous aspects like his own ’Infinite Immortal Fire’.

His ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ already possessed a certain intelligence, which to some extent could be considered a form of life.

Li Shiming gently touched the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’. When the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ came into contact with him, it only felt warm, without any trace of the fifth-grade Immortal Fire’s power.

He was thinking of letting the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ enter his body, and the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ followed his will, entering into his skin.

Suddenly, he felt the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’s dissatisfaction, and then the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ flew towards the ’Red Sun Spirit Fire’, instantly devouring it.

Li Shiming did not blame it for this. Instead, he smiled helplessly.

He sensed from the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ its emotions, that it couldn’t tolerate its master having a weaker Spiritual Fire.

In other words, the ’Red Sun Spirit Fire’ was unworthy of being its master’s possession. The lowest quality of Immortal Fire is fifth grade, while no matter how much the Spiritual Fire is raised, it won’t exceed fourth grade.

That is the greatest disparity; Immortal Fire, from birth, stands at the pinnacle above Spiritual Fire.

The ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ did not obtain any enhancement from devouring the ’Red Sun Spirit Fire’. Under the nourishment of Li Shiming’s ’Nanming Leaving Fire’ and ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’, the ’Red Sun Spirit Fire’ had long reached the pinnacle of Spiritual Fire.

But even such a ’Red Sun Spirit Fire’ was too weak for the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, with not even a nourishing effect.

Inside Li Shiming’s body, above the five Nascent Souls, the small flame formed by the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ was suspended.

"Overthinking!" Li Shiming muttered to himself while putting away the ’Beidou Formation Map’.

He made this judgment based on the previous experience of Red Demon refining the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’. It turned out, his refined ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ had intelligence, which meant that even though his realm couldn’t fully control the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, its intelligence allowed him to command it.

He waved his hand, and a fireball shot out.

This was the simplest fire magic attack, using flames transformed from ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’, enhanced by the divine skills of ’Nanming Leaving Fire’.

The fireball flew towards the sea surface, with a ’boom’, blasting a ten-meter-high spray of water, forming a ten-meter radius of destruction centered on the fireball’s impact point.

This was the power of his fire magic attack. Then he used the same fireball attack, only this time he added the augmentation effect of the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’.

The fireball shot out, and as soon as it flew out, he felt the terrifying power of the fireball.

Quickly, his figure flashed to the side of the flying boat, protecting it.

The fireball wouldn’t harm him, but its power would damage the flying boat.

To his surprise, this attack strangely didn’t result in an explosion.

The fireball flew towards the sea surface, creating a hole in the sea and continuing downward until it disappeared from sight.

The hole made by the fireball on the sea surface did not disappear for a long time.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths, after ten breaths, a muffled explosion sounded from the seabed.

An area of the sea surface rose up, like a mountain hill rising.

When the hill rose to thirty meters, it broke open, releasing steam with high temperatures, causing the sea surface within this range to boil.

Li Shiming looked at the sea surface, unable to calm down for a long time.

If he had just used powerful fire magic spells, such an effect would be normal.

But what he just cast was merely the most basic fireball, which had only been augmented by the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, yet it caused such an effect.

If using the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ to augment powerful fire magic spells, how terrifying the effect would be?

Li Shiming did not test, at least not near Yin Shilan.

But when he saw the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, he discovered that after using the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, some of its energy was consumed.

Although the energy consumed wasn’t much, calculating by the consumption of the fireball, if he truly relied on the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ for powerful fire magic spells, the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ might only attack once.

He understood the reason for this, his realm was too low to provide energy for the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, thus it could only deplete its own energy.

Whereas the likes of Red Demon could provide energy for the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, allowing continuous usage of the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ for attacks.

Li Shiming shook his head, the higher one’s cultivation, the more one feels insufficient.

He checked the progress of the research on the ’Divine Perception Stele’ from IBMz15, and it seemed to still require a considerable amount of time.

It was unknown whether IBMz15 would first develop a virtual version of the ’Divine Perception Stele’, or the Divine Palace of Cloud Island Sea would reopen.

Li Shiming circulated the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ within his body, first transforming all ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ into fire spiritual power, then using the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ to enhance the quality of fire spiritual power.

Then he transformed these enhanced fire spiritual powers back into ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’, and he suddenly found that the quality of this part of ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ was slightly improved.

Of course, since he used very little energy from the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, the increase in quality of ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ wasn’t much, but it was still a significant change.

Since advancing to the Peak Great Cultivator Realm, his spiritual power had only become purer with continued insight and practice, but had not seen any improvement in quality.

The ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ provided him with a method to increase his ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’, and he had seen in many texts that the higher quality the spiritual power, the better the effect in constructing Grotto Heaven.

His age was still very young compared to a Peak Great Cultivator, and he had enough time to solidify his foundation.

The energy consumption of the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ would recover itself, even if heavily depleted, it could fully regenerate in about 24 hours.

This meant, he could consume the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ once daily to enhance his ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’.

Moreover, this task didn’t require his initiative to perform, the intelligence of the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ would complete the task automatically.

Li Shiming and Yin Shilan ventured far from the Cultivation World, with IBMz15 continuously charting new sea maps. The places they passed were areas never touched by the superpowers.

It’s not that the superpowers don’t explore, but far out in the sea, the dangers are numerous.

Without substantial benefits, the superpowers wouldn’t send Peak Great Cultivators to explore the seas, as the benefits gained wouldn’t match the risks.

There was even a possibility that the Peak Great Cultivator would face danger, and losing them outside would be a significant loss to the superpowers.

Only Li Shiming had enough strength and confidence to dare challenge the unknown world.

Moreover, no matter how dangerous the ocean might be, could it be more perilous than the threat from the Yuqing Sect’s Great Power!
