Li Shiming felt somewhat confused. He didn't know what had happened; he had merely extracted the Spiritual Energy of the Grotto Heaven, but somehow, he ended up draining a half-step Great Power to death!
A half-step Great Power was really not up to par. It didn't take long before his small actions played him to death.
He had actually planned to spend several months dealing with the half-step Great Power issue.
Now the only thing he needed to deal with was that heart demon.
A heart demon trapped within the Grotto Heaven and unable to escape was no issue at all in front of a Heavenly Ghost.
Li Shiming hadn't let the Heavenly Ghost go forward to devour the heart demon because he was considering whether the Grotto Heaven could be preserved.
No matter how small this Grotto Heaven was, it represented the crucial step of a Great Cultivator towards becoming a half-step Great Power. Many Great Cultivators perished before establishing a Grotto Heaven.
