Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 2090 - 1091: Reunion (Part 2)

This was implanted by Li Shiming through ’Telepathy’ in the avatars of various Great Powers upon leaving.

And through the avatars, the influence of ’Telepathy’ would spread to the soul of the mighty beings.

After all, the soul of an avatar is a part of the main soul, and they share a connection.

Li Shiming had to leave; if he stayed, this gathering wouldn’t happen.

He didn’t expect that the pressure from the Late Stage Great Powers on these inheritor Great Powers would be so strong.

He sent a message to Yin Shilan, asking her to entertain the guests on his behalf, while he went searching for a statue of Buddha.

Sword Elder and Great Power Meng Jun exchanged another glance, both secretly shocked. Although they knew that Li Yuanba had also advanced to Late Stage Great Power, it wasn’t until they interacted with Li Shiming, a Late Stage Great Power, that they realized the true terror of such power.

The relationship between Sword Elder, Great Power Meng Jun, and Li Shiming was still quite good. But even so, only Sword Elder was able to muster the spirit to exchange a few words with Li Shiming, while Great Power Meng Jun was tense throughout, let alone engaging in conversation.

Li Shiming’s perception spread out as he continuously performed Space Movement, finding temples and summoning the Golden Saint to extract faith power from the temple statues.

Since the disappearance of Lianhua Temple, there have been fewer and fewer Buddhists in the Dongqi Continent, resulting in fewer temples there than before.

He returned to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, picked up Yin Shilan, and then went to the Beishu Continent, visiting every Buddha statue there.

He traveled across various continents afterward, taking him a full six months.

In that half-year, he found over thirty thousand Buddha statues, with varying amounts of faith power.

The final result was that a third of the broken divine core of the Golden Saint was repaired.

Clearly, his idea of repairing it solely through the statues in Central State was somewhat simplistic; the dense faith power in the statues of the Lianhua Branch Sect was due to the Lianhua Temple once being one of the four major sects of the Dongqi Continent.

Having controlled a quarter of a continent’s territory, few Buddhist sects in Central State could match Lianhua Temple’s preaching capabilities.

Unfortunately, the strongest Buddhist temple, Da Leiyin Temple, was destroyed by Li Shiming himself; otherwise, the faith power there would have certainly surpassed Lianhua Temple’s.

Resolute, Li Shiming activated his teleportation ring.

His figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared in the Cloud Island Sea, where he had left coordinates initially.

Upon returning to the Cloud Island Sea, he did not wait another twenty years for the teleportation ring to recharge.

He released his aura, the terrifying aura of a Late Stage Great Power ascending.

The entire Cloud Island Sea understood that an incredibly terrifying presence had arrived.

Yet none of the powers in Cloud Island Sea dared to investigate, as no power would trouble him knowing they were not his match.

As long as he didn’t directly attack, the powers in Cloud Island Sea would ignore his actions.

Li Shiming sighed, remembering how once they shouted and fought when he first arrived at the Cloud Island Sea.

It turns out everything stemmed from insufficient strength; as long as one’s strength is enough, is there any place in the world one cannot go!

He traversed every place in the Cloud Island Sea, extracting all the faith power he could find from the statues.

The Buddhist presence in the Cloud Island Sea was relatively sparse, so the amount of faith power gained there wasn’t very satisfactory.

He took out a map, acquired from another Great Power in the Land of Fallen Immortals.

This map had been re-analyzed and compiled into a relatively comprehensive version using IBMz15 from the maps he acquired.

The map marked nearly ten cultivation lands, which was the most Li Yuanba could obtain.

Many Great Powers were unwilling to exchange maps for fear that exposing their cultivation land’s location might make them targets for other powers.

However, in the face of profit, many were still willing to share their maps.

Thereafter, Li Shiming traveled through various cultivation lands on the Golden Winged Dapeng.

As he progressed, repairing the broken divine core of the Golden Saint became increasingly difficult.

However, when he reached halfway, the bottleneck of the Golden Saint began to loosen.

In the Divine Domain, the Golden Saint had absorbed a large amount of ’Holy Spirit’ energy from several altars, saturating his internal ’Holy Spirit’ energy.

Now that the bottleneck loosened, it meant he could ascend at any time to the next level, the Great Angel Realm.

But Li Shiming dared not let the Golden Saint ascend in this place, as ascending to the Great Angel in the outside world is impossible.

If he tried to ascend outside, it wouldn’t be possible to complete it within sixty breaths.

This would require facing the might of heaven and earth to ascend, an act of doom.

As for ascending within the Grotto Heaven, that was even less viable, as the ’Holy Spirit’ energy fluctuations during ascension could potentially destroy everything inside.

He wasn’t willing to risk it, and since the Golden Saint couldn’t ascend, he had him suppress his energy.

More than a decade passed, and Li Shiming finally managed to repair the broken divine core with the Golden Saint.

Both stood in the Grotto Heaven, with the Golden Saint seated cross-legged, ’Holy Spirit’ energy forming shackles to prevent the divine core in his soul fire from triggering a full evolution.

Previously, while the divine core was still being repaired, the Golden Saint was at least able to move.

But once the divine core was fully restored, had Li Shiming not noticed something was amiss and had the Golden Saint seal himself, he might have already ascended.

Beyond merely ascending, he discovered that in addition to ascending to the next realm, the Golden Saint’s wings had an implicit sense of evolution, suggesting that without the seal, he might evolve into a Six-winged Angel.

Li Shiming’s teleportation ring energy had recovered, and he activated the Dongqi Continent coordinates within it.

Next, he appeared in the Dongqi Continent, where the teleportation ring’s grasp of space rules far surpassed his own space abilities as a Late Stage Great Power.

It’s worth noting that he was a Late Stage Great Power with the Cave Heaven Core that contained a ’Space Rule Rune’, theoretically giving him a spatial rule advantage over other Late Stage Great Powers without core space rules.

He couldn’t imagine the realm of the entity who created the teleportation ring.

For this reason, he felt little pride in his own advancement to Late Stage Great Power.

He had witnessed greater power and felt there was still a significant gap between himself and that level of strength.

"Master, I must return to the Land of Fallen Immortals!" Li Shiming returned to the Dongqi Continent to bid farewell to Grandmaster Hu.

He felt that this parting might be forever, and he brought out the finest Fifth Grade Spirit Tea.

Grandmaster Hu, with no hope for further progress, would find even the best Fifth Grade Spirit Tea enhancing only his body, without impacting his cultivation level.

"You have your path, and I can no longer see it clearly, but I will safeguard the Ten Thousand Beast Sect! Since accepting you as my disciple, the sect has thrived, becoming a super force with more than fifty Great Cultivators, like a dream come true.

With such achievements, I can comfort the spirits of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s predecessors!

Though my talent was lacking, and my cultivation poor, I have taken a good disciple!" Grandmaster Hu mused with understanding, smiling as he rambled.

Li Shiming listened quietly, just as he had in the past.

Grandmaster Hu became intoxicated, under the influence of the Fifth Grade Spirit Tea, or perhaps he simply wanted to be.

Li Shiming bowed to Grandmaster Hu, then vanished into the sky over the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, taking a close look at it all.

This time, he observed every detail carefully, even having IBMz15 record every scene, plant, and flower of the sect.

"Let’s go!" he said to Yin Shilan in the Grotto Heaven, then used Space Movement to disappear from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

The Golden Winged Dapeng was summoned by him, and it carried him and Yin Shilan towards the Land of Fallen Immortals.

The Dongqi Continent soon vanished from view, even ’Divine Vision’ couldn’t see it.
