Chapter 357: Chapter 225: Pursuit
Jue Tu Buddha’s mind was filled with murderous intentions, but he still retained a sliver of clarity. He had received an order from Zhi Kong Arhat to retrieve the Jade Foot Relics of the Divine Foot Skill.
He could sense the location of the Jade Foot Relics, so after rushing into the battlefield, he followed the trail of the relic’s aura.
All the Devil Cultivators he encountered along the way were naturally slain by his hand.
His killing was swift, not delaying his speed in the slightest.
However, Li Yuanba was continuously moving, which forced Jue Tu Buddha to adjust his path, essentially drawing a curve across the battlefield.
Li Yuanba sensed the danger, that terrifying murderous intent, which was palpable even from a great distance.
...
Elder Lv also sensed the presence of Jue Tu Buddha. His expression changed slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but if Jue Tu Buddha forced him to reveal his suppressed strength, it would cause significant trouble.
In this Foundation Establishment Stage battlefield, both sides’ Golden Core cultivators were vigilant. It was even uncertain if Nascent Souls and Venerables were watching.

If Elder Lv were indeed forced to reveal his Golden Core Stage strength on the battlefield, he could not guarantee that he would not be attacked by multiple Golden Core cultivators from the Righteous Path. That would be the best outcome; if a Nascent Soul or a Venerable intervened, death was certain.
Therefore, he could not help but speed up, hoping to catch up to Li Yuanba quickly and resolve the matter.
As he increased his speed, he could no longer conceal his form. Li Yuanba, sensing the aura of a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him, along with Jue Tu Buddha’s aura, felt they were both targeting him.
Li Yuanba’s heart sank, the distinct aura of a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him clearly indicating they were tracking him. There were not many in the Foundation Establishment Stage who could track him without being detected.
He speculated that it was a True Disciple sent by Elder Lv, not realizing that Elder Lv had come himself.
Even if it was a True Disciple sent by Elder Lv, they would not be easy to deal with, and facing that enemy with a sky-high killing intent, if they caught up to him, he feared he would have to resort to his last resort.
That final lifesaving measure, the Sword Intent Buddha Beads, should be avoided if at all possible.
The Sword Intent Buddha Beads were not just a means of saving his life; by keeping them close, he could continually comprehend Elder Jian’s Sword Intent, greatly enhancing his mastery of it.
Li Yuanba could only increase his speed and quickly reconvene with his original self, Li Shiming. With Li Shiming’s help, perhaps he could deal with the two cultivators who were tracking him.
With this in mind, he no longer hid his strength. Under his feet, white lotuses sprouted, and the next lotus appeared nearly a hundred meters away as his figure flickered onto it.
The white lotuses appeared in succession, his figure vanishing and reappearing continuously in the void.
“Step by Step Lotus, it is the Divine Foot Skill!” Elder Lv, following behind and seeing the suddenly accelerated Li Yuanba, clearly saw the white lotuses beneath Li Yuanba’s feet.
How could he not recognize this deepest secret of Divine Movement Divine Power from Qianye Temple, “Step by Step Lotus,” which is the lowest level of Divine Foot Skill, barely touching the surface of the skill?
He was exceptionally shocked in his heart; Li Yuanba had actually learned Divine Foot Skill. Could it be that the Divine Foot Skill heritage that Li Yuanba received was freely learnable? Perhaps Jue Yuan Buddha had left his own insights along with it, allowing Li Yuanba to easily master Divine Foot Skill.
Elder Lv believed his own aptitude and talent were superior to Li Yuanba’s, at least that’s what he thought. Of course, to become a Golden Core cultivator, his aptitude and talent were definitely top-notch.
There are many genius cultivators, and each Ascension Conference reveals several, but not many genius cultivators truly grow to their full potential.
For genius cultivators to become Foundation Establishment cultivators is no problem; the likelihood is almost one hundred percent.
But for genius cultivators wishing to advance to Golden Core, the difficulty increases significantly. Advancing to Golden Core is not just a matter of talent; it also requires the necessary resources.
The resources for advancing to Golden Core, even in the relatively rich Beishu Continent, are extremely precious and rare.
Each major sect’s Golden Core resources require many genius cultivators to compete to acquire them, selecting the strongest and luckiest among the genius cultivators through such means.
Elder Lv became a Golden Core cultivator through competition and believed without a doubt that his talent was better than Li Yuanba’s.
Thus, he was already considering, after catching up to Li Yuanba, not to rush to kill him; instead, he wanted to coax out Li Yuanba’s secrets for cultivating the Divine Foot Skill “Step by Step Lotus.”
Li Yuanba’s speed was extremely fast; “Step by Step Lotus,” the first time he applied it in practice, demonstrated terrifying speed suppression.
The Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him was quickly left behind, his speed almost more than double that of the following cultivator.
As for the murderous intent approaching from a distance, it could no longer close in. Instead, it was being pulled farther away; the murderous intent in his perception faded significantly due to the increased distance.
His mind shifted, and he changed directions, while his original self, Li Shiming, also started to make preparations.
He changed directions, yet although he had already left the sensory range of the Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him, he still sensed the unreserved aura of the Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator due to full speed.
The greatest benefit of Li Yuanba using “Step by Step Lotus” was that although his speed increased, he did not need to mobilize much Spiritual Power, allowing him to control his aura and not be too exposed.
