Upon seeing the token, he understood the reason: it turned out that Great Venerable Ming Feng could control the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ through this token.
He infused the Master Recognition Technique into the token. Once it penetrated the interior, he quickly established a connection with the Buddhist Bodhisattva engraved on the token, allowing him to sense the existence of the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector.’
He released the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’, and with a slight movement of his mind through the token, the statue-like ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ came to life.
"Never underestimate any power!" Li Yuanba muttered to himself.
Such Half-step Great Power level combat strength as the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ was astonishing for Da Leiyin Temple to possess. This was the first time he had seen such power outside of a Half-step Great Power.
Of course, this was excluding his own body and the research results from Li Shiming’s side, which created the Duke of Thunder, Red Demon, and the numerous Holy Spirits.
Originally, he thought that this research accomplishment was unique, but he did not expect that many years ago, Da Leiyin Temple had already managed to produce a ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ with such Half-step Bodhisattva power.
Out of curiosity about the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector,’ he used his Divine Sense to scan the token and the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector.’
The technology used on the token was extremely complex, and the spirit wood used in the token itself had special effects on the soul.
In addition, the token contained Buddhist Secret Techniques for soul manipulation, making it difficult to study and understand its principles in a short time even if he obtained the token.
However, on the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’, he found some information he could refer to.
From the flesh body of the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’, it could be seen that it had cultivated Body Refining Techniques, reaching the Half-step Bodhisattva Realm. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Li Yuanba was somewhat surprised; even though many superpowers in the Cultivation World had a few Half-step Great Powers.
But among these Half-step Great Powers, not even one Body Refining Half-step Great Power was to be found.
This is because, in today’s Cultivation World, top resources are extremely scarce, and cultivating Body Refining Techniques to the Half-step Great Power Realm with today’s top resources is almost impossible.
The resources required for Body Refining Techniques are much higher than those for cultivating Spiritual Power Techniques, and they also require some special resources for strengthening the flesh body.
If the requirements for creating the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ were a Body Refining Half-step Bodhisattva, then even Da Leiyin Temple would find it impossible to create another ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector.’
This particular ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ must have been passed down a long time ago, but it’s unknown how many ’Golden Bodhisattva Protectors’ Da Leiyin Temple still has?
Li Yuanba familiarized himself with controlling the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector.’ Now, with the exposure of the Duke of Thunder, and the seized ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector,’ on the surface he possessed two Half-step Great Power combat strengths.
The greatest strength of the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ lies in its defensive power, followed by close combat attacks. Since it does not have space movement capability, the real combat power of the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ is limited in Li Yuanba’s view.
Of course, this ’limited’ is judged from his perspective. For Peak Great Cultivators, the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ is a being they look up to.
But in Li Yuanba’s eyes, the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ is just a good meat shield. In terms of combat power, the Duke of Thunder is stronger than the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector.’
Not to mention the Red Demon and the Holy Spirits, both are significantly stronger than the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector.’
In the Inheritance Cave Heaven of Da Leiyin Temple, Huinan Bodhisattva received the news shortly after the Great Venerable Ming Feng was slain and the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ was stolen.
Bodhisattvas hold very high status in the Buddhist, on the same level as the Great Powers in the Taoist.
Da Leiyin Temple is a cornerstone of Buddhism, having been cultivated over many years, with its branches spread across the entire Cultivation World, encompassing almost all Buddhist sub-sects.
This is also why monks practicing the Joyful Buddha from Da Leiyin Temple can be found; Joyful Buddha is also an important branch of Buddhism, where Yin Yang Balance is considered to follow nature.
Huinan Bodhisattva didn’t think highly of monks practicing the Joyful Buddha. He never expected that this branch would cause such trouble, costing Da Leiyin Temple so dearly.
Not to mention the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’, which could be called a treasure, the fall of Great Venerable Ming Feng, a Peak Great Venerable, is also an enormous loss.
Since the fall of Great Venerable Ming Hai, Da Leiyin Temple used some backup resources to forcibly elevate Great Venerable Ming Feng to the Peak Great Venerable realm to avoid the loss of such top combat strength.
The fall of Great Venerable Ming Feng made all those investments of Da Leiyin Temple vanish into nothingness.
"The ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ must be retrieved!" Huinan Bodhisattva said in a deep voice.
Just as Li Yuanba had judged, although the method for refining the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ was passed down, the requirement for a Half-step Bodhisattva flesh body is so stringent that even Da Leiyin Temple cannot create another ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector.’
Yes, Da Leiyin Temple only has one ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector,’ which was made from the body of a Body Refining Half-step Bodhisattva from over ten thousand years ago.
Since then, no Body Refining Half-step Bodhisattva has appeared in Da Leiyin Temple, making the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ a unique existence. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Huinan Bodhisattva took out four turtle shells, throwing them with a slightly solemn expression. The four shells flipped in the air and landed on the table in front of him.
He looked at the turtle shells, employing a Secret Technique of divination, able to deduce fragments of the matter being assessed from the direction in which the shells fell.
Huinan Bodhisattva was skilled in divination Secret Techniques; given his cultivation level, he had a natural advantage in divining matters concerning cultivators weaker than himself.
"Is this Li Yuanba really so timid?" He slightly reproached upon seeing the information displayed on the four turtle shells.
According to the display on the turtle shells, Li Yuanba was already at the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s mountain gate.
Even Huinan Bodhisattva dared not go to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion to demand the return of the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector.’
He let out a deep sigh, his figure flickered and vanished from the spot, soon entering a room set with a Communication Array.
He activated the Communication Array and waited for a time. The light of the array flickered, indicating it had connected successfully.
"Why has the old monk thought of contacting me actively?" came the voice of Sword Elder from the other side.
"Sword lunatic, this old monk has a favor to ask!" Huinan Bodhisattva said in a deep voice.
"Let me guess, did Li Yuanba get something good from you again?" Sword Elder responded after a brief pause.
If it made Huinan Bodhisattva contact him personally, it must involve at least Half-step Great Power level matters, and in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, only Li Yuanba had such potential for trouble.
Just recently, Li Yuanba had gone out, the timing matched, so Sword Elder guessed it was related to Li Yuanba.
"Li Yuanba obtained the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ inherited by Da Leiyin Temple, which is the old ancestor’s golden body, please send it back!" Huinan Bodhisattva said truthfully.
No lies could be told at this moment, Sword Elder couldn’t stand such deceit, and provoking him would make communication difficult.
"Old monk, don’t give me that nonsense about the ancestor’s golden body, it’s just a Half-step Bodhisattva puppet. I cannot decide on Li Yuanba’s behalf whether to return the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’, it depends on what Da Leiyin Temple can offer as ransom; I can pass the message at most!" Sword Elder replied with a laugh.
He couldn’t help but admire Li Yuanba’s ability to stir trouble, but he held no complaints. The more Li Yuanba could stir trouble, the more it showed the strength of Li Yuanba.
For a Sword Cultivator to achieve success, it requires seizing opportunities, focusing on "seizing"; no successful Sword Cultivator in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion avoids trouble.
