Lei Gong's figure appeared beside Li Shiming. Li Shiming stretched out his hand and waved, and Li Yuanba's cave space stone flew out of Lei Gong's body and entered his body.
Then he appeared on the back of the Golden-Winged Roc, and the Golden-Winged Roc turned around and flew in the direction it came from.
Sitting on the back of the golden-winged Roc, Li Shiming's mind entered Li Yuanba's cave.
The previous Thunder God returned to the cave. In the cave now, besides Li Yuanba, there were two more Thunder Gods, a Red Devil, a Holy Spirit, and the 'Golden Body Bodhisattva Guardian' of the Great Leiyin Temple, five half-step great powerful beings.
This makes the energy generated in the cave match the six half-step great powers, and the energy absorbed and discharged by the core of the cave is sufficient to supply the six half-step great powers for their cultivation.
Li Shiming thought about it and transferred all seventy-two holy spirits to Li Yuanba's cave. Fortunately, the size of this cave was only one hundred to two hundred meters in radius, so the seventy-two holy spirits did not feel crowded after entering.
If it was the cave with a radius of 30 meters, it would probably be crowded with people by now.
As seventy-two holy spirits entered the cave, the core of the cave increased its energy production, but it would take time to reach saturation.
Li Shiming came to pick up his clone Li Yuanba this time because he took into consideration the development of the cave heaven. Within his ability, he naturally wanted to make the cave heaven of his clone Li Yuanba more perfect.
A few hours later, he returned to Dongqi Continent.
Being in the Dongqi Continent, he felt extremely safe.
Here there is the most comprehensive drone satellite system, as well as a large number of newly deployed detection formations, allowing him to detect any powerful cultivators coming to Dongqi Continent in advance.
Back to the Wanshou Sect, the days seemed to have gone back to the past.
Five years later, the core of Li Yuanba's cave was able to generate enough energy for seventy-eight half-step masters.
Li Shiming also sent one hundred and eight "immortal water bears", eleven "silver-winged spirit poison insects", the little phoenix, the phantom dragon, the sky ghost, the thunder beast and the golden-winged Roc into Li Yuanba's cave.
If his own realm had not reached the level of a half-step great power and could only be considered a great cultivator, he would have sent himself into Li Yuanba's cave.
He wanted to test the limits of energy generation in the newly constructed cave, which was related to his future construction of the cave.
In addition, everything happened to be safe during this period of time. It seemed that the powerful people in the world of immortal cultivation wanted to wait for him to perish on his own and had no intention of taking action against him.
He doesn't need to keep these half-step powerful spirit pets by his side at all times. Besides, what's the difference between these spirit pets being in the cave of his clone Li Yuanba and being by his side?
In the inheritance cave at the mountain gate of the Great Leiyin Temple, Huinan Bodhisattva and another Bodhisattva sat face to face, with this Bodhisattva sitting at the upper seat and Huinan Bodhisattva sitting at the lower seat.
"Senior Brother Huiyue, I hope I didn't disturb your practice?" Huinan Bodhisattva asked respectfully.
"I received your message. I happen to have some free time, so I can come back to deal with the troubles in the temple!" Bodhisattva Huiyue said lightly.
Bodhisattva Huiyue, the Bodhisattva of Freedom of the Great Leiyin Temple, is looking for opportunities to make further progress, just like the free powers of other superpowers.
Neither Bodhisattva of Freedom nor the Power of Freedom will stay in this world of immortal cultivation. The resources here are simply not enough for them to make further progress.
Bodhisattva Huinan was inspired by the great master Luo Yuan of Yuqing Sect. When Yuqing Sect was in danger, Luo Yuan urgently recalled the great master Leng Luo.
However, in the opinion of Bodhisattva Huinan, it was too late for Master Luo Yuan to recall Master Leng Luo. If he had recalled Master Leng Luo earlier, it would have been impossible for Yuqing Sect to reach its current situation.
Therefore, when Bodhisattva Huinan was suppressed by the super powers in the Great Leiyin Temple, he sent a message to ask Bodhisattva Huiyue to return to help.
Fortunately, just a few years after he sent out the message, Bodhisattva Huiyue returned.
"Junior brother, can you tell me how bad the current situation in the Great Leiyin Temple is?" Huiyue Bodhisattva looked at Huinan Bodhisattva and asked.
The information he received was not detailed. After he returned to the Great Leiyin Temple, he found that the situation in the Great Leiyin Temple was extremely bad. The number of monks in the temple was less than 50,000, and the number of great masters was extremely small.
Most of the buildings in the temple, which had been passed down for who knows how many years, were also destroyed.
This surprised him. It seemed that the situation in the Great Leiyin Temple was worse than he had expected.
"The gate of the Great Leiyin Temple has experienced two attacks, and both attacks happened recently!" Huinan Bodhisattva replied hesitantly.
"What?" Bodhisattva Huiyue suddenly stood up and screamed in surprise.
His eyes widened and anger flashed in them.
"This is how you protect the Great Leiyin Temple, but now you are bullied in the temple. It's such a shame!" he roared.
It’s not that great Buddhists can’t get angry, like the wrathful Vajra.
When one reaches the Bodhisattva stage through Buddhist practice, some of his character traits will become more prominent.
"What's the loss?" Bodhisattva Huiyue suppressed his anger and asked.
"The two attacks caused the destruction of 320 temples, the deaths of seven great masters, and the deaths of 68,570 monks of various levels. In addition, in the previous conflicts, two top great masters in the temple died one after another, and many great masters died. Now there are only four great masters left." Huinan Bodhisattva answered without hiding anything.
Bodhisattva Huiyue could no longer suppress his anger. When he was about to say something, he found that Bodhisattva Huinan had not finished speaking yet.
"In addition, the temple's treasures, the 'Thunder Sound Bell', the 'Inherited Buddha Lotus' and the 'Golden Body Bodhisattva Guardian' were taken away!" Huinan Bodhisattva continued to answer.
When Bodhisattva Huiyue heard this, his heart began to beat faster.
The loss of monks can be retrained given time.
However, the treasures in the temple, whether it is the 'Thunder Sound Bell' or the 'Inherited Buddha Lotus', are not something he and Huinan Bodhisattva can refine now. It can be said that once such treasures are lost, it is impossible to refine them again unless they are found again.
As for the 'Golden Body Bodhisattva Guardian', even he had to respect him as his master, but it was taken away.
"You must know who stole the temple's treasure, right?" Bodhisattva Huiyue took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and then asked.
"The 'Thunder Sound Bell' and the 'Golden Body Bodhisattva Guardian' fell into the hands of Li Yuanba of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion. However, Li Yuanba has been promoted to a half-step great power and is currently in seclusion in Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion!" When Bodhisattva Huinan said this, he couldn't help but glance at Bodhisattva Huiyue.
Bodhisattva Huiyue shook his head. Even though he was the Bodhisattva of Freedom and was powerful enough, it was impossible for him to rush into the gate of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion to find a half-step great master.
What kind of place is Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion? Not to mention that sword madman Jian Lao, just talking about the sword treasures left in Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, he doesn't dare to go there to seek death.
The 'Golden Body Bodhisattva Guardian' is okay, it is more of a symbolic meaning, and its strength is only at the half-step Bodhisattva level.
But the 'Leiyin Bell' was a treasure that even he wanted to own. If it weren't for the rule of the Great Leiyin Temple that these inherited treasures could only remain in the temple, he would have wanted to take it away.
"What about 'Inherited Buddha Lotus'?" He thought of 'Inherited Buddha Lotus' and asked again.
"The 'Inherited Buddha Lotus' fell into the hands of Li Shizhen of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!" Huinan Bodhisattva replied somewhat embarrassedly.
"The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect? If I remember correctly, it's the sect in Dongqi Continent that practices with spirit beasts?" Bodhisattva Huiyue confirmed with some disbelief.
"Yes, it is the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!" Bodhisattva Huinan nodded.
"Don't you even have any way to deal with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect? Or can the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect cultivate some powerful cultivators?" Bodhisattva Huiyue asked repeatedly.
In his opinion, large sects are just like ants. They do not have the inheritance of a half-step great power. Moreover, they are located in the Dongqi Continent, where even the middle-level great cultivators are extremely rare.
"My clone died at the hands of Li Shizhen in the Dongqi Continent, and the 'Inherited Buddha Lotus' was lost along with it!" Huinan Bodhisattva whispered.
"Hiss!" Bodhisattva Huiyue took a breath of cold air. He was really shocked.
Even if Huinan Bodhisattva's strength was not strong enough, it was Huinan Bodhisattva's clone who fell, and his strength was much weaker.
But it was unbelievable that Li Shizhen, who was born in the Eastern Qi Continent, could kill the clone of Huinan Bodhisattva.
"What is Li Shizhen's realm?" he asked after thinking for a while.
"The realm of a peak great monk!" Huinan Bodhisattva replied with his head down.
To be honest, he felt a little ashamed to face his senior brother after his clone was killed by a top-level great monk.
"A great cultivator at the peak level was able to kill the Bodhisattva's clone. It seems that Li Shizhen has a big secret!" Bodhisattva Huiyue said in a deep voice, with a gleam in his eyes.
At his level, his knowledge far exceeds that of Huinan Bodhisattva and the great masters in the world of immortal cultivation.
He was very clear that the secret that allowed a top monk to kill the Bodhisattva's incarnation was an extremely important opportunity even for him.
His previous worries about the troubles he encountered in the temple turned into surprise at this time.
He didn't expect that he would encounter such an opportunity after returning from his rest time.
This is much easier than fighting outside. To deal with a peak monk, even if he has some ability, he is just a stronger ant in his eyes.
The news of Bodhisattva Huiyue's return was not spread. He used a treasure to hide his own aura, so no force in the immortal cultivation world knew of his return.
But he did not go to Dongqi Continent immediately, but instead began to let the Great Leiyin Temple collect all the information about Li Shiming.
Li Shiming didn't know that he was being targeted by the Bodhisattva again. He kept an eye on the cave of his clone Li Yuanba every day.
IBMz15 records and analyzes all the data in Dongtian.
Since this was a cave heaven constructed by his clone Li Yuanba, he could feel everything in the cave heaven more deeply.
When the Nascent Soul of a great cultivator is unable to carry its own energy, the Nascent Soul becomes the material for constructing the Cave Heaven through the practice of techniques. To some extent, it can be said that the Cave Heaven is an upgraded version of the Nascent Soul.
The cave can store higher quality energy, and can also materialize the power of rules and influence the environment of the cave, so that the energy in the cave continues to increase.
The ever-increasing energy can also strengthen the cave itself.
This is like a virtuous cycle. With each cycle, the cave is improved step by step.
I don’t know if it’s because there are too many half-step masters in the cave, but the cave’s enhancement speed has obviously increased many times compared to before.
Although the cave has not yet reached the energy output to satisfy the cultivation of all the half-step masters inside, even the current energy production has greatly increased the cave's enhancement speed.
Regarding this aspect, there is a blank in the research of the immortal cultivation world.
Perhaps some monks had studied this in ancient times, and there were enough resources at that time to cultivate a large number of spiritual pets.
But even in ancient times, it was not realistic to cultivate a large number of half-step fifth-grade spiritual pets.
Only an alchemy master like Li Shiming can refine a fourth-grade elixir into a top-grade elixir, raising the quality of the original elixir to a higher level. Only then can a pet that has taken a top-grade elixir break through the fourth grade and reach a half-step fifth grade.
It can be said that the immortal cultivation world has not even met the prerequisites for this research, let alone having any relevant research.
I don’t know if it’s because the cave has become stronger this time, but it only took the cave three years to make the energy output of the cave meet the cultivation needs of all the half-step great energy levels inside.
Li Shiming could feel that the cave heaven of his clone Li Yuanba had passed the initial stage. In the world of immortal cultivation, such progress would take at least a hundred years, but he only took a dozen years.
Moreover, the energy produced by the core of the current cave heaven can already satisfy the needs of two hundred and three half-step great energy level beings, which makes the growth speed of the cave heaven faster.
"Perhaps in just three to five hundred years, Li Yuanba can try to become a powerful person!" Li Shiming muttered to himself with his eyes shining.
However, the prerequisite for Li Yuanba to be promoted to a great power is that Li Shiming himself must be promoted to a half-step great power and reach the great power realm in some aspect. Otherwise, due to the limitations of his body, Li Yuanba cannot be promoted to a great power even if he meets all the conditions.
Li Shiming calculated the time. It had been more than a hundred years since he left Yundao Sea. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could re-enter the temple.
As long as he enters the temple and goes through the process of enlightenment at the 'God-feeling Monument' again, he believes that the obstacles to his promotion to a half-step great power will no longer exist.
In addition, if you get close to the 'Monument to the Gods' again, you can also let IBM z15 rescan the 'Monument to the Gods' and update the 'Monument to the Gods' in the virtual environment as much as possible, making the virtual 'Monument to the Gods' closer to the real 'Monument to the Gods'.
On the day when the energy produced by Li Yuanba's cave core no longer increased, Li Shiming took back his spiritual pet.
He also took back the spirit pet that he had placed with Li Yuanba. As a result, Li Yuanba was the only half-step great power left in the entire cave. The energy produced by the cave did not change, but the half-step great powers who consumed the energy were missing in the cave.
This made the energy in the cave more and more dense, so dense that every part of Li Yuanba's body was filled with the golden spiritual power of a half-step great power between breaths. Under the practice of "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky", these golden spiritual powers continued to strengthen his body.
This is just one aspect. The huge amount of energy has accelerated the enhancement speed of the cave heaven once again. It seems that the time for Li Yuanba to reach the peak of half-step great power will be earlier.
