Chapter 478: Chapter 272: Buddha Country Golden Lotus!

In the Divine Temple of the True Martial Demon Suppression Emperor.

After listening to a blood-red figure that seemed to be the incarnation of the Blood God Ancestor deliver a few inspiring words, Yun Jiu and the others dared not to resist and closed their eyes, opening their hearts as the figure sharply commanded.

By doing so, they received a large amount of knowledge regarding the Cultivation Method and cautions of the Incense Fire Divine Path.

Yun Jiu was the first to regain his senses from the sea of knowledge. He looked at the meditation cushion to find that the Blood God Ancestor had disappeared, replaced by a white-haired youth sitting cross-legged in meditation.

At first glance, Yun Jiu recognized the youth as the mysterious one who had saved the Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop.

Indeed, this mysterious youth was with the Blood God Ancestor all along!

Moreover, the stranger must be a Golden Core Great Power, right?

Less than ten meters away from Yun Kong, Yun Jiu instinctively felt a fundamental difference between this person and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators he was familiar with.

Yun Jiu was unaware of the Exorcism Mage Yun Kong’s leveling process.

His mind couldn’t help but suspect some eccentric taste in this youth who appeared to be a Golden Core Great Power.

After all, this Great Power’s first battle involved a dispute with an alliance of Loose Cultivators.

A Golden Core Great Power, deliberately using only the strength from the late period of Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment to bother those trifle rogues.

Other than a bizarre hobby, Yun Jiu found it hard to understand such behavior.

After all, if it was for the purpose of punishing evil, displaying Divine Skills of a Golden Core would resolve the issue in an instant, wouldn’t it?

Yun Jiu looked towards the Divine Statue.

Knowing the name of this Divine Being, he respectfully bowed to the Divine Statue of the True Martial Demon Suppression Emperor.

Then he raised his head and saw the white-haired youth opening his eyes and looking at him.

“In the left side hall, there are twelve Heavenly General Divine Statues. Go and see which one you prefer,”

“And from now on, worship that statue day and night.”

Yun Kong said this, then turned his gaze to the others who were slow to awaken and said:

“The rest of you may go to the right side hall, to find a Heavenly Soldier Divine Statue to worship.”

“Remember to use the heart-mind communion summoning technique.”

“When the time comes, it will be of great use.”

“Go quickly, return to regroup once you find the right one, and then our coursework will start from today.”

Yun Kong glanced over the pamphlet that Su Ping had provided and said with a faint smile.

Not daring to hesitate, everyone promptly saluted and went into action.

Outside the Divine Temple of the True Martial Demon Suppression Emperor, Su Ping watched all this unfold from a distance. After confirming that nothing unexpected happened, he withdrew his gaze.

The Cultivation Technique he provided was not given randomly.

Once these people joined the fold,

Su Ping would use Fishing Coins to call forth divine statues for them to worship.

Then, with the assistance of these Golden Core Realm divine statues,

Their Cultivation would skyrocket before reaching the Golden Core.

As for side effects,

Well, these individuals were to determine if there were any side effects and whether they were within an acceptable range, right?

If it proves successful, it could be replicated for others with excellent Spirit Roots on Water Blue Star, including those with an Illusion Spirit Root.

Besides,

As cultivators of the Incense Fire Divine Path from Su Ping’s lineage,

Their Cultivation would also contribute a share of power to Su Ping’s Cultivation.

Su Ping could receive about one-tenth of the refined Divine Power they accumulated from their realizations in Cultivation.

This was pre-arranged in the inheritance given to them.

They belonged to the Dharma Vein under the World-saving Heavenly Venerate.

Providing one-tenth of their Divine Power to the World-saving Heavenly Venerate was their duty for receiving this opportunity.

Their inner Mana and the Divine Sense in their sea of consciousness could be increased with the aid of Pills.

The Divine Power for their Divine Power Dharma Aspect could also be refined with the help of disciples.

Su Ping felt that this Cultivation method was the most suitable path for his own journey in Cultivation.

Even based on the high-tier existences he had encountered and the various inherited Secret Techniques,

Su Ping had a vague feeling that the higher the tier of existence, the more they would care about the inheritance of their own path, and might even have planted certain suggestions within their Secret Techniques.

Thus prompting the sects of various small worlds to hold an even stronger commitment to their heritage.

In addition, the assimilative actions of the Abyss Seven Emperors, and the contamination of the Immortal Cultivation World by the evil Qi of the Evil God, were similarly cultivating inheritors of their own power in different ways but converging toward the same goal.

Su Ping wondered if reaching a higher tier required one’s power to impact enough small and large worlds to achieve the breakthrough.

…

On Southern Desolate Island, the excitement brought by the Immortal Ascension Conference was gradually fading as the selected candidates began their Cultivation.

Gradually, a new hot topic took over the streets and alleys.

It turned out that the branch of the Great Golden Ray Monastery had been completed.

Not only were several Golden Core high-ranking monks stationed within, but the Merit Stele also appeared and was open to the public.

Consequently, some cultivators with Merits were overjoyed and hurriedly lined up to exchange their Merits for Spirit Stones or other useful items, improving their living conditions.

Although Southern Desolate Island is prosperous, the Spiritual Energy is too sparse.

If one cannot enter the now-coveted secret realm,

Late-period Qi Cultivators need Spirit Stones and Spiritual Objects for their practice.

The branch of the Great Golden Ray Monastery.

The Monk Kong Jue, who had seen the Blood God Ancestor before, again encountered the Blood God Ancestor’s incarnation.

He also saw that the Ancestor had brought a considerable amount of Sealing Magic Artifacts.

After quickly calculating the quantities, Monk Kong Jue realized the discrepancy in the number of Sealing Magic Artifacts in this region and where they had gone during that time.

It seemed that from that point, the Ancestor had already thought about how to exploit the resources of the Great Golden Ray Monastery.

“Amitabha, how virtuous, how virtuous!”

Monk Kongjue felt pleased with such behavior.

The more remnants of evil spirits that were purified in the Sealing Magic Artifacts, the better it would be for the future plans of the Great Golden Light Temple.

Therefore, the Merit Stele generously awarded Su Ping a large amount of merit.

Su Ping looked at the items within the Merit Stele.

As for the divine secret skills, with the inheritance from the Ten Directions Sect and the black jade pendant that had devoured the Greedy Wolf’s Divine Sense,

Su Ping already had little interest in them.

Su Ping’s gaze turned towards the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and he quickly found something of interest:

“Buddha Country Golden Lotus!”

“Master, I should have enough merit, so why can’t I exchange for this item?”

After choosing this item, Su Ping discovered that he couldn’t exchange it through the Merit Stele and involuntarily looked towards Monk Kongjue.

“Amitabha,”

Monk Kongjue smiled wryly after hearing this and then said:

“Elder, you have a keen eye; the Buddha Country Golden Lotus is one of our monastery’s unique treasures.”

“This item possesses spatial characteristics, and once it matures, it can form its own Grotto Heaven.”

“Although the one offered by our temple isn’t fully mature, it can’t be transported through the Merit Stele.”

“If the elder isn’t in a hurry, this humble monk can ask the abbot to personally cast a spell to transport the Buddha Country Golden Lotus for the elder.”

“If the elder is pressed for time, you could also personally visit the Great Golden Light Temple to retrieve it; the abbot has long been looking forward to meeting you.”

“To the Great Golden Light Temple?”

Upon hearing this, Su Ping chuckled and declared that he was not in a hurry.

Soon after, Su Ping left the branch temple and went to the Southern Desolate Island division of the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion.

There, he handed over a large amount of Spiritual Medicine.

He also collected a massive amount of Spirit Stones and rare materials.

The Deputy Pavilion Master of the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion continued to receive Su Ping,

and expressed with a bitter smile that recently, due to the slightly excessive amount of Spiritual Medicine provided by Su Ping,

All the sects and cultivating families had nearly depleted their reserves of Spirit Stones stored in their warehouses.

In the following period, the proportion of Spirit Stones might gradually decrease, while other forms of compensation might increase.

Su Ping understood this as well.

After all, because Spirit Stones could assist in cultivation and be used to set up formations, they have always been consumables.

With his side devouring Spirit Stones like a whale, and yet never having an outlet,

it was like the silver crisis in the history of Water Blue Star.

It was expected that a crisis of Spirit Stones would occur.

“This world of Immortal Cultivation is just too small!”

Having released just a little bit of precious Spiritual Medicine, this had already drained the cultivators’ resources to the bottom?

Luckily, he was not unprepared.

As for alternatives to Spirit Stones, he had been preparing them for some time.

Beyond the energy storage magical artifacts that could absorb Spiritual Energy when needed and slowly release it,

Spirit Plants with relevant characteristics had also been discovered by Su Ping and were being cultivated in the Pot Cave Heaven.

He also took out some mature specimens and found professional cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World to try to improve and research them.

There are already some promising results.

Once it could be widely distributed,

by absorbing Spiritual Energy in the Pot Cave Heaven and then gradually releasing it on Water Blue Star,

it couldn’t be said to completely replace the role of Spirit Stones, but it could at least reduce the rate at which Spirit Stones were consumed.

At the Great Golden Light Temple,

when the young abbot heard Monk Kongjue’s report, he was at first astonished but quickly came to accept it.

The Buddha Country Golden Lotus, a miraculous item capable of containing an entire Grotto Heaven,

could only grow slowly in the secret realm of the Great Golden Light Temple.

It was also considered the most valuable of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures listed on the Merit List of the temple.

Unexpectantly, someone actually ignored other items and accumulated so much merit just to exchange for this wonder.

“Amitabha, this is just fate,”

“The Buddha Country Golden Lotus… is fated to be with that benefactor,”

After saying this, the young abbot also stood up and disappeared from the hall.

Not long after, the young abbot entered a secret realm surrounded by golden Buddha statues in all directions, with an air of solemnity.

After calling out a Buddha’s name there,

a White Bone Monk clad in a big red Kasaya appeared in front of him.

“Master, your disciple has come to retrieve the Buddha Country Golden Lotus,”

The White Bone Monk, maintaining a cross-legged position, heard this and nodded slightly.

The void rippled for a moment, and then a palm-sized Golden Lotus appeared.

At the same time, behind the White Bone Monk, an avatar of a Bodhisattva with three heads and six arms, dignified and resplendent, revealed itself.

As soon as the Bodhisattva avatar appeared, the surrounding Buddha statues emitted golden light, and the sound of Buddha chants filled the air,

seeming to suppress the presence that had attempted to emerge from the void ripples a moment earlier.

The young abbot caught the Golden Lotus with both hands,

and it disappeared without a trace upon contact with his body.

The young abbot looked at the White Bone Monk with a slight frown but said nothing, leaving the space directly.

“The days of the Great Golden Light Temple are numbered,”

“Just in time, that elder has provided us with a large number of remnants… Let the brothers prepare for the grand magic meeting.”
