Chapter 1904: Chapter 998: Huiyue_2

"Additionally, the temple treasures, ’Thunder Sound Bell’, ’Inheritance Buddha Lotus’, and ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ have been seized!" Huinan Bodhisattva continued to answer.

Upon hearing this, Huiyue Bodhisattva’s heart raced faster.

The loss of monks can be remedied with time.

But the temple treasures, whether ’Thunder Sound Bell’ or ’Inheritance Buddha Lotus’, are not items that he and Huinan Bodhisattva can forge now. Once lost, unless retrieved, it’s impossible to recreate such treasures.

As for the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’, even he must call it master, yet it was also taken.

"Do you at least know who snatched the temple treasures?" Huiyue Bodhisattva took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions before asking.

"’Thunder Sound Bell’ and ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ fell into the hands of Li Yuanba of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, though currently Li Yuanba has ascended to a Half-step Great Power and is in seclusion within Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!" Huinan Bodhisattva mentioned this, then glanced at Huiyue Bodhisattva.

Huiyue Bodhisattva shook his head. Even though he was a Freedom Bodhisattva, with considerable strength, charging into the gates of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion to seek a Half-step Great Power was an impossibility.

What kind of place is Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion? Not to mention Sword Elder, the sword madman, but the sword dao relics left in Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion were enough to deter him from seeking his own death.

The ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ at least is more of a symbolic significance, its actual power merely Half-step Bodhisattva level.

But the ’Thunder Sound Bell’ is a treasure he himself desired; if not for Da Leiyin Temple’s rule that these inheritance treasures must remain within the temple, he would have wanted to take it.

"What of the ’Inheritance Buddha Lotus’ then?" He thought of the ’Inheritance Buddha Lotus’ and continued to ask.

"The ’Inheritance Buddha Lotus’ ended up in the hands of Li Shizhen from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect!" Huinan Bodhisattva answered, somewhat embarrassed.

"Ten Thousand Beast Sect? If my memory serves right, it’s that sect from Dongqi Continent that plays with spirit beasts?" Huiyue Bodhisattva questioned incredulously to confirm.

"Yes, it’s that Ten Thousand Beast Sect!" Huinan Bodhisattva nodded.

"Do you mean to say you have no means against Ten Thousand Beast Sect, or perhaps Ten Thousand Beast Sect has cultivated powerful cultivators?" Huiyue Bodhisattva asked repeatedly.

To him, large sects are akin to ants, without any about Half-step Great Power inheritance, and moreover, located on Dongqi Continent, where even mid-level Great Cultivators are exceedingly rare.

"My clone perished at the hands of Li Shizhen on Dongqi Continent, losing the ’Inheritance Buddha Lotus’ at the same time!" Huinan Bodhisattva spoke quietly.

"Hiss!" Huiyue Bodhisattva gasped, truly astonished.

Even if Huinan Bodhisattva’s strength is not strong enough, the one to fall was Huinan Bodhisattva’s clone, which was far weaker.

Yet Li Shizhen, from Dongqi Continent, could kill Huinan Bodhisattva’s clone; it’s truly beyond comprehension.

"What is Li Shizhen’s realm?" He pondered and asked.

"Peak Great Cultivator Realm!" Huinan Bodhisattva answered while bowing his head.

Honestly, having a clone slain by a peak Great Cultivator, Huinan truly felt ashamed facing his senior.

"A peak Great Cultivator realm capable of killing a Bodhisattva clone, clearly Li Shizhen holds significant secrets!" Huiyue Bodhisattva’s eyes sparkled as he spoke gravely.

At his realm, his insight far surpasses that of Huinan Bodhisattva and inheritor great abilities within the cultivation world.

He’s acutely aware that a secret allowing a peak Great Cultivator to slay a Bodhisattva clone is important providence even to him.

His prior worries about the temple’s troubles now transformed into elation.

He hadn’t expected to encounter such an opportunity upon returning from rest.

This beats fighting and struggling outside; dealing with a peak Great Cultivator, despite some capability, to him is still like dealing with a stronger ant.

Huiyue Bodhisattva’s return wasn’t made public; he used a treasure to hide his aura, thus the cultivation world wasn’t aware of his return.

But he did not immediately head to Dongqi Continent but instead began having Da Leiyin Temple collect all intelligence on Li Shiming.

Li Shiming remains oblivious to being targeted by a Bodhisattva again, and he daily monitors his clone Li Yuanba’s Grotto Heaven.

IMBz15 records and analyzes all data concerning the Grotto Heaven.

Since it’s a Grotto Heaven constructed by clone Li Yuanba, allowing him to more deeply sense everything about the Grotto Heaven.

When a Great Cultivator’s Nascent Soul can no longer contain its energy, the Nascent Soul through cultivation techniques serves as material for constructing a Grotto Heaven—in a sense, the Grotto Heaven is an upgrade of the Nascent Soul.

The Grotto Heaven can store higher quality energy, and can manifest rule power affecting the Grotto Heaven environment, continually enhancing energy within the Grotto Heaven.

The ever-growing energy can then strengthen the Grotto Heaven itself.

This is akin to a positive feedback loop: each cycle gradually perfects the Grotto Heaven.

Perhaps due to the abundance of half-step Great Powers in the Grotto Heaven, the enhancement speed has noticeably multiplied compared to before.

While the Grotto Heaven hasn’t yet produced enough energy to meet the cultivation needs of all half-step Great Powers within it, even the current energy generation significantly boosts the enhancement pace of the Grotto Heaven.

In this regard, the cultivation world remains devoid of research.

Perhaps in ancient times, cultivators researched it, when ample resources allowed the cultivation of numerous spiritual pets.

But even in ancient times, cultivating numerous half-step fifth-grade spiritual pets was unrealistic.

Only an alchemy master like Li Shiming could refine a fourth-grade Spirit Pill into a top-tier Spirit Pill, enhancing its quality a level higher, enabling spiritual pets that consumed top-tier Spirit Pills to break through fourth grade, reaching half-step fifth grade.

It’s safe to say the cultivation world hasn’t met the prerequisites for such research, let alone conducting relevant studies.

This time, possibly due to the strengthened Grotto Heaven, it took only three years for the Grotto Heaven to produce sufficient energy to fulfill the cultivation needs of all half-step Great Power level existences within.

Li Shiming can feel that clone Li Yuanba’s Grotto Heaven has surpassed its initial stage, a progress that would take at least a hundred years in the cultivation world, yet he’s achieved it in merely a dozen or so years.

Moreover, the energy output from the core of the current Grotto Heaven can sustain two hundred and three half-step Great Power level existences, further accelerating the growth rate of the Grotto Heaven.

"Perhaps only three to five hundred years for Li Yuanba to attempt ascending to Great Power!" Li Shiming murmured, eyes shining slightly.

However, Li Yuanba’s precondition for ascending to Great Power requires Li Shiming himself to rise to half-step Great Power and achieve Great Power Realm in some aspect; otherwise, due to the main body’s limitation, even if all conditions are fulfilled, Li Yuanba cannot ascend to Great Power.

Li Shiming calculated the time: he’s been away from Cloud Island Sea for over a hundred years; it might be soon that he can re-enter the Divine Palace.

Just entering the Divine Palace once more to undergo the ’Divine Perception Stele’ enlightenment process, he believes his hindrance to advancing to half-step Great Power will be nonexistent.

Moreover, another close encounter with ’Divine Perception Stele’ allows IBMz15 to rescan the ’Divine Perception Stele’, to update the virtual ’Divine Perception Stele’ as close as possible to the real ’Divine Perception Stele’.

On the day when the energy output from Li Yuanba’s Grotto Heaven core ceased to increase, Li Shiming withdrew his spiritual pets.

Even taking back those spiritual pets he left with Li Yuanba, leaving only Li Yuanba, a half-step Great Power, in the entire Grotto Heaven, the energy produced did not change, yet the Grotto Heaven lacked half-step Great Powers to consume this energy.

This made the energy within the Grotto Heaven increasingly rich, so rich that with each breath, Li Yuanba’s flesh was infused with half-step Great Power gold element spiritual power, strengthening the body under the cultivation of ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’.

This is only one aspect; the massive energy rapidly accelerates the enhancement of the Grotto Heaven, seemingly bringing the time for Li Yuanba to reach half-step Great Power peak forward.
