Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 656 - 329: Bodhi Fruit (Vote for Monthly Pass)_2
At the same time, the two of them felt somewhat curious.
What did the Observatory Master discover in the sea region last time?
Why was he able to invite so many experts here?
Of course, this secret was something they did not dare to ask about. The more you know, the more dangerous it becomes!
It’s more comfortable to remain ignorant for a lifetime.
Li Yunjing had no idea what these two wastes were thinking. He assigned them some tasks and cleared out an unmanned passageway to facilitate the safe entry and exit of sect members.
Only then did he let Li Linzi and Gu Wenzhuo leave.
This time, the experts who came from the sect were experienced and held part of the sect’s power.
Now, when they arrived at Li Yunjing’s "territory," seeing his well-organized arrangements, they felt quite relieved. Not only was his combat prowess strong, but his ability to handle administrative affairs was also remarkable.
There was no doubt about Li Yunjing’s future prospects.
The ancestors and elders viewed Li Yunjing differently, while some Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, non-true disciples, had a positive attitude towards him; however, a few true disciples harbored malice.
Li Yunjing was their biggest competitor within the sect!
"Alright, Li Yunjing, you can go rest now. The surrounding halls have been turned into restricted areas for our use. Tomorrow, we will gradually enter the sea region."
After finishing the tasks, the Nascent Soul Realm ancestor said indifferently.
Li Yunjing glanced at this esteemed figure, took out a map from his storage ring, and handed it over, saying, "Ancestor, this is the route I took through the East Sea last time, along with some sea charts obtained through soul search of ’Soul-Controlling Sect’ cultivators. I think it can be of some use, saving a lot of time for you, the elders, and fellow sect members."
The Nascent Soul Realm ancestor waved his hand, and the map was already in his grasp. He nodded slightly and said, "Very good! The tasks ahead of you are not light. In ’Yingtian Prefecture,’ there are surely infiltrators, possibly people who have sided with demon cultivators or Buddhist sects. You must carefully investigate daily, eliminate any hidden dangers!"
When talking about clearing out traitors, the esteemed figures emitted chilling laughter!
...
In the following days, Li Yunjing peacefully served as the Great Ming National Preceptor. As for the actions of those esteemed figures in the rear halls, it had little to do with him.
Initially, these esteemed figures would come and go every three to five days, but later, Li Yunjing couldn’t even discern their action patterns.
Confirming that the sect members would not bother him in the short term, he chose a secluded hall to reside in, preparing to engage in cultivation.
Sealing the entire secluded hall with an array, Li Yunjing took out the half-dead ’Blood Bodhi Tree.’
"Hehe! Anyway, this thing has no chance of further evolution, I might as well consume it!"
Staring at the blood-red small tree, Li Yunjing murmured to himself.
Previously at ’Shenxiao Hall,’ Li Yunjing had showcased this object publicly and took the opportunity to inquire about the uses of the ’Blood Bodhi Tree.’
He was told that a hundred-year-old ’Blood Bodhi Tree,’ when watered with the fresh blood of all beings, could be cultivated to a thousand-year level.
A thousand-year ’Blood Bodhi Tree,’ if consumed with its ’Bodhi Fruit,’ has a high probability of helping Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators advance to the Golden Core Realm.
This is top-grade spirit medicine!
Heaven and Earth Spirit Root!
And if cultivated from a thousand years to a ten-thousand-year ’Blood Bodhi Tree,’ there is a small chance it could help peak Golden Core Realm cultivators advance to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Of course, such cultivation methods are harmful to the natural order.
Li Yunjing would never use the methods of ’Mingxin Temple’ or ’Soul-Controlling Sect’ to cultivate a ’Blood Bodhi Tree.’
Whether it be sect rules or his own principles, he could not accept it.
Moreover, to Li Yunjing, merely advancing to the Golden Core Realm or Nascent Soul Realm, if stuck in a bottleneck, unable to progress further, still makes one a waste. Struggling to advance with external assistance only to reach that point means no prospect of further advancement.
Dying a thousand years early or later, what difference does it make? One still has to die ultimately.
Li Yunjing sought longevity, sought to become an immortal, never aiming only for the Nascent Soul Realm.
At present, this nearly mature ’Bodhi Fruit’ served merely as an energy supplement for Li Yunjing. He did not hesitate nor feel any regret and directly swallowed the ’Bodhi Fruit.’
"Burp..."
Just after swallowing the ’Bodhi Fruit,’ Li Yunjing burped.
Inside his body, the ’Bodhi Fruit’ dropped into his stomach and started dissolving, transforming into a surge of extremely hot energy, rising from his stomach and rapidly spreading to his organs, throughout his body, limbs, and bones.
Within just a quarter of an hour, Li Yunjing’s entire body radiated a blood red glow, his vitality nearly boiled.
Sweat had already drenched Li Yunjing’s body, making him appear as if he was in a sauna.
The surging energy madly rushed, giving Li Yunjing a feeling of imminent explosion.
The potency of the ’Bodhi Fruit’ permeated Li Yunjing’s entire body, making his flesh crystalline, his bones producing crackling sounds, and arcs of electricity bursting from him.
"Good stuff! No wonder the Buddhist Sect paid such a high price to cultivate this spirit root! Indeed, it’s incomparable to ordinary Heaven and Earth Five Elements spiritual objects!"
Li Yunjing continuously circulated the energy within his body, strengthening his physique, enhancing his mana, converting his true essence, and refining his spirit...
