Chapter 350: Chapter 221 Relic_2
The storage bracelet didn’t contain many items—a few high-level, second-grade Elixir Pills and about three thousand Spirit Stones. The sparsity of items in the space almost made him disbelief that this bracelet belonged to a True Disciple.
The only thing that caught his attention was a relic, which had a peculiar shape, resembling a baby’s jade foot.
He took the Jade Foot Relic out of the storage bracelet, guessing that it was probably the only item of value in there.
As he held the relic in his hand, he knew that it belonged to at least a Nascent Soul Stage, meaning a Buddhist Venerable’s relic, and he felt the immense Buddhist intent within it.
After hesitating for a moment, driven by curiosity, he probed the Jade Foot Relic with his Spiritual Thought.
With a “boom”, his spirit was drawn into the Jade Foot Relic, while his body sat cross-legged on the ground, lifeless.
...
Li Yuan Ba found himself in an endless void where there were neither sky nor land, surrounded by various Buddhas, all emanating great compassion and dignity, chanting Buddhist scriptures simultaneously.
He didn’t know what the scriptures were, but he felt himself being influenced by the Buddhist chants, sinking deeper into their boundless depths.
He was utterly powerless to resist; in this world, his spirit was exceedingly weak.
A trace of clarity in his mind reminded him that if he continued to sink, his spirit would dissipate and be assimilated into this world, becoming sustenance for it.
This was the trial of the Jade Foot Relic. Even in Qianye Temple, taking part in this trial required dozens of high monks for protection and necessitated years of dedicated study in Buddhist teachings along with targeted cultivation technique practice from a young age.
All of this was to pass the trial of the Jade Foot Relic and receive its inheritance.
Even so, among the Divine Foot Skill inheritances of the Qianye Temple, very few Buddhas from each generation managed to receive the inheritance.
This was normal, as every major sect had its special inheritances, some left by predecessors within the sect, others brought back by sect cultivators.
These special inheritances all required specific conditions to be met by the inheritors. This was to ensure the safety of those who received the inheritance, as cultivators who received an inheritance without meeting the conditions either failed to cultivate and were spiritually injured, or died from backlash.
The level of Divine Foot Skill inheritance contained within the Jade Foot Relic was extremely high. Jue Yuan Buddha had prepared for over a hundred years before he was recognized by the Jade Foot Relic and received part of the inheritance.
After receiving the Jade Foot Relic inheritance, Jue Yuan became its guardian until he passed away, or felt he could no longer receive any inheritance from it, at which point he would return the relic to the temple and search for a new inheritor.
Carrying such a relic with oneself was a reluctant measure and having the relic nearby could help increase the speed of cultivating the inheritance.
This was also a common strategy in Buddhist circles, where high monks who could condense relics almost always infused their best Cultivation Techniques into the relics for future generations.
This is an important reason why there were many masters within the Buddhist ranks.
As Li Yuan Ba was about to be completely submerged, Li Shiming, who was in a Flying Boat, sensed what was happening on Li Yuan Ba’s side and contacted the split spirit of Li Yuan Ba, sending him a reminder.
The connection between Li Shiming and his split spirit, Li Yuan Ba, disregarded the influence of space and time. Even though Li Yuan Ba’s spirit had been drawn into the Jade Foot Relic, he was still able to receive messages from Li Shiming’s original body.
Li Shiming’s reminder jolted Li Yuan Ba’s consciousness into clarity, and Li Yuan Ba immediately tried to withdraw from the Jade Foot Relic. However, exiting the relic was not so easy. The surrounding Buddha Shadows detected his resistance, and the Buddhist chant grew even louder.
Li Shiming connected with IBMz15, and a “Life-taking Buddhist Chant” from it was transferred into the consciousness of Li Yuan Ba.
The external Buddhist chant was filled with the temptations of the Buddhist world, submerging one within it, but within Li Yuan Ba’s consciousness, a passage that seemed authentically Buddhist yet was strangely harsh sounded.
Combating Buddha with Buddha was the only method Li Shiming could think of at that moment.
Although “Life-taking Buddhist Chant” was an ordinary piece, its impact on the spirit was extremely shocking, appropriately combating the grand, righteous chants from outside.
Li Yuan Ba only felt his spirit diminished by the influence of the Buddhist Chant from the outside world, uncertain of when he could leave, he could only maintain this balance.
Actually, he was still in extreme danger, situated in the middle of a battlefield, unable to control his body with his consciousness; any cultivator could easily cause his demise.
Luckily, his Formation was still working, and as his consciousness was not within his body, his aura was extremely weak, several Devil Cultivators and Buddhas passed by without noticing him.
Time passed bit by bit, and Li Shiming was also very anxious. The unexpected occurrence of his split self left him no other options, he was still a long distance from the battlefield, and even if he approached, getting through the Righteous Path’s defensive line would be troublesome.
All he could do was repeatedly chant “Life-taking Buddhist Chant,” hoping that the malicious Buddhist chant would continue to exert its effects.
This Buddhist chant, emerging from his soul, could to some extent replace a cultivator’s study of the Buddhist teachings, forming a false essence of Buddha.
Li Shiming had tested this through practice, using this method to learn “Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill.”
One two-hour period, two two-hour periods, three two-hour periods, before dawn, Li Shiming also visited a mountaintop, set up a Formation, and aligned one thousand five hundred Fresnel reflecting mirrors to cultivate “Purple Qi Eastward.”
Unless absolutely necessary, he would not allow “Purple Qi Eastward” to be interrupted.
Because once “Purple Qi Eastward” was interrupted, its effects would be greatly diminished, and the enhancement of his body and spirit were the results of continuous forced accumulation of Purple Qi day by day; he did not know how long it would take to return to the current level of enhancement.
Luckily, cultivating “Purple Qi Eastward” did not require Spiritual Energy, only an uninhabited mountaintop, which was readily available in the Cultivation World.
By the time he had finished cultivating “Purple Qi Eastward,” Li Yuan Ba was still trapped within the Jade Foot Relics on the battlefield.
Li Shiming packed up the Formation and the Fresnel reflecting mirrors and continued his flight towards the battlefield.
A full twelve hours passed. Li Yuan Ba, by now, was numb to the Buddhist chants of the outside world, his spirit constantly repeating “Life-taking Buddhist Chant,” freeing him from the influence of the external Buddhist Chant.
He did not realize how incredible it was to play music within his soul, knowing that the music was not emitted by him, nor by the original Li Shiming, but by IBMz15.
Because of the specificity of IBMz15, it treated Li Shiming as an external device, while Li Yuan Ba was connected as a Bluetooth or wifi external device.
The music played by the IBMz15 was unaffected by any external factor and directly affected the soul, such a mode of connection was unique in the Cultivation World.
If Li Shiming attempted to transmit sound to Li Yuan Ba through his own spirit, it would not achieve this effect.
Of course, the special effects of “Life-taking Buddhist Chant” also played a role. This music was also a unique existence in his previous life, conveying bizarre evil in the form of grand righteous sounds.
Just as Li Yuan Ba did not know when it would end, the external Buddhist chants completely disappeared, and the sky full of Buddha Shadows were also gone.
Subsequently, a vast amount of information was transmitted into his soul through the Jade Foot Relics. On the other side, the original Li Shiming, through a mental connection, also received this information and backed it up on IBMz15.
“Divine Foot Skill! What is this cultivation technique?” Li Shiming and Li Yuan Ba, in different locations, simultaneously murmured.
What they received was the inheritance of Divine Foot Skill, differing only in the “Step by Step Lotus” component from what Jue Yuan Buddha received; they received the entire Divine Foot Skill inheritance.
Li Yuan Ba had cheated his way through all the trials of the Jade Foot Relics.
Jue Yuan Buddha only lasted two hours, so he received only a part of the inheritance and the recognition of the Jade Foot Relics, perhaps over a long time, he could receive the rest of the inheritance.
However, there was no chance for Jue Yuan Buddha; his corpse was in Li Yuan Ba’s storage space.
