Li Shiming was inside the Precious Lotus Great Hall of the Heavenly Human Blessed Land. Today, he was preparing to condense an Energy Clone.
This was also something many great cultivators did. An Energy Clone could do almost half the things a great cultivator could, and it could also appear on a great cultivator's behalf.
