Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 125 - 109: Buddha’s Sound

After reading "Ice Heart Jade Thought Technique," Li Shiming, although he hadn’t learned Spiritual Thought, became aware of the importance of temperament for a cultivator, which was why it was essential to master Spiritual Thought during the Qi Refinement Realm.

If there had been only one or two cultivators lying in ambush, he might not have thought about battle.

Because if it were only one or two cultivators, there was a great chance that a sect cultivator would be among them; with his Qi Refining Fourth Level strength, the odds of winning a battle against two sect cultivators were not significant.

But with the appearance of as many as ten cultivators, it indicated that the opponents’ strength was limited, necessitating a number in order to bridge the gap in power between them.

This meant that all ten cultivators were Loose Cultivators.

Moreover, Li Shiming’s Sword Escape technique was already refined, and he could use it to escape at any time. Why would he avoid a fight?

Taking advantage of this occasion, he would, on the one hand, test his own combat strength and, on the other, undergo a rare tempering of his temperament.

He took out two Spirit Stones and held them in his hand to restore his spiritual power while standing at the entrance of Changshi Valley, blocking the direction the ten cultivators could leave from.

"Why is it a Sword Cultivator?" Han Yu said in shock.

Sword Cultivators had always been the best at fighting among cultivators, with those in the Qi Refinement Realm possessing the strongest attack power.

He did not want to fight against a Sword Cultivator as it would lead to losses among his clansmen.

But the sword light had passed through the Array and unexpectedly stopped at the mountain pass leading out of the valley; he certainly understood the other’s intention—it was waiting for them to come out and fight.

"Gather and form a battle Array!" Han Yu declared with a fierce look in his eyes.

He didn’t believe that ten cultivators gathering to kill one sect cultivator would be unable to achieve victory.

Besides, Li Shiming was a Sword Cultivator who had cultivated for how long? He had been in the sect for less than a year; how much strength could he have?

In their group of ten, besides him in the Qi Refining Sixth Level, there were two cultivators at the Qi Refining Fifth Level, and the rest were all at the Qi Refining Fourth Level.

The ten cultivators jumped down from the two sides of the valley and gathered together, with Han Yu at the spearhead of a common mortal battle Array.

Han Yu looked towards Li Shiming standing at the entrance of the valley, his robes billowing, exuding an inexplicable aura.

Even facing ten cultivators all at the Qi Refining Middle Stage across from him, Han Yu did not see a trace of fear or concern in Li Shiming’s eyes, rather a readiness for battle.

"Damn, this is definitely a Sword Cultivator, a sword maniac!" Han Yu secretly thought.

Li Shiming also watched the ten cultivators, still over five hundred meters apart, a distance not yet within attack range.

The attack range of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Middle Stage wasn’t far; even for long-range Spell attacks, the range was only within one hundred meters.

All drones and goggles had been collected; his eyes looked over Changshi Valley, analyzed by IBMz15.

Changshi Valley was peculiar, with a relatively smaller exit and wider inside.

Seeing the strength of all the cultivators, his worries lessened, and he was less concerned about the cultivators escaping.

Without the cultivators being able to escape, there were no reservations about the methods he could use.

Suddenly, his aura shifted, and Han Yu and the other approaching cultivators sensed as if Li Shiming had transformed into someone else.

Li Shiming exuded the temperament of a compassionate high monk, and he began chanting from ancient scriptures.

He used "Devil’s Sound in the Ear (Fake)" with background music in his chant, an incantation titled "Buddha’s Light Appears," which should not exist in this world.

The grand music made Li Shiming appear as if he was enveloped in a golden Buddhalight to the ten cultivators observing him.

"Devil’s Sound in the Ear (Fake)" was an assault on the cultivator’s minds, and this sophisticated attack seemed too complex for Loose Cultivators, at least as far as Han Yu and his fellow cultivators were concerned when the music began, as they weren’t immediately aware of this.

The ten cultivators’ steps further slowed; initially, they were curious about how Li Shiming could chant music inclusive of brass and drums from his mouth, but later they were influenced by "Buddha’s Light Appears."

Their will to fight gradually waned, and their intent to kill continuously weakened.

Those cultivators with weaker mentalities thought back on their past deeds and felt a sense of guilt in their hearts.

"Steady your minds... he is using sound to influence our minds!" As Han Yu was considerably stronger, being in the Qi Refining Sixth Level helped him to be the first to recover from the influence.

He couldn’t use the Sound Wave Technique, but he used the most simple and direct method by invoking his spiritual power to let out a loud shout.

The rest of the cultivators were startled and quickly stabilized their minds, their eyes showing extreme terror.

The battle hadn’t even started, and they had almost fallen for the opponent’s ploy.

Moreover, under the influence of this music, their capacity to fight would be severely affected.

They needed to constantly stabilize their minds, which would prevent them from fighting with their full strength.

Luckily, they had numbers on their side, and by supporting each other, the fight was still manageable.

As the distance between both parties narrowed, Li Shiming stood at the valley entrance, his face showing compassion.

Li Shiming had long cultivated the "Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill," listening daily to "The Scripture of the Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Verses" for cultivation. When Li Shiming chanted "Buddha’s Light Appears" through IBMz15 using his mouth, he could coordinate with the power of Vajra.

Vajra Power is the strength of Buddhist Body Refinement, and it enhanced "Buddha’s Light Appears" after endowment.

He also did not intend to use "Devil’s Sound in the Ear (Fake)" to completely wipe out the other party, unless he had at that moment gotten the complete version of "Devil’s Sound into the Ear" and reached at least the Qi Refining Sixth Level, matching strength with the strongest cultivator, which was a slight possibility.
