Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1981: Chapter 1037: Rewards

The Taoist Lotus seemed like an illusion, penetrating beneath Li Shiming.

Then he felt his body lighten, lifted by the Taoist Lotus, just like Li Yuanba’s current state.

At this moment, Li Shiming was experiencing more than Li Yuanba.

His 191 brains allowed him to possess 191 souls, each capable of perceiving the comprehension of rules coming from the Taoist Lotus.

Although it appeared that he alone was receiving the comprehension from the Taoist Lotus, it was as if 191 people were receiving it.

Outside the Preaching Peak, the powerful figures widened their eyes one by one.

Some with malicious intents were thinking about interrupting Li Shiming’s process of comprehending the Dao.

But here was the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, the Sword Elder’s domain.

Moreover, Li Shiming was not someone to be easily provoked; without a sure method to completely crush Li Shiming at once, it was best not to provoke him.

This was the painful lesson learned from the Yuqing Sect and Da Leiyin Temple, as these two superpowers used bloody facts to inform the powerful figures, instilling in them a sufficient fear of Li Shiming.

At this time, Li Shiming no longer paid attention to Li Yuanba, for the first time fully engaging his mind and spirit, comprehending the Dao rhythm coming from the Taoist Lotus.

Miraculously, the Dao rhythm knowledge transmitted by the Taoist Lotus was taught according to his capacity to receive it; the faster he accepted it, the faster the knowledge was transmitted.

With the assistance of IBMz15, the Dao rhythm knowledge from the Taoist Lotus flowed through 191 channels like a gushing spring into his soul.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when he sensed the slowing down of the gold rules from the Taoist Lotus, a sign that the transmission of the Gold Rules Dao Rhythm was about to end.

Just when he thought everything was about to conclude, new Dao rhythm arrived.

He was surprised to find that it was precisely the terrifying Sword Intent on the ’Sword Intent Stele’.

However, the Sword Intent on the ’Sword Intent Stele’ was perceived through the spirit touch, equivalent to self-study.

Whereas the Sword Intent knowledge accepted through the Taoist Lotus was like hand-on-hand teaching, the significance was entirely different.

Again, time had passed unknowingly, and Li Shiming’s entire mind was immersed in receiving knowledge, without any distraction to do other things, so he didn’t know how much time had passed.

It’s just that the transmission of Sword Intent knowledge slowed down, and he had an enlightenment that this time of Dao comprehension was about to end.

As he was thinking about it, the Taoist Lotus beneath him detached from the Debating Stone and merged into his body.

On the other side, the Taoist Lotus beneath Li Yuanba also detached from the Debating Stone and merged into his being.

The remaining Taoist Lotuses retracted back into the Debating Stone, restoring the summit of the Preaching Peak to its initial state.

Li Shiming and Li Yuanba opened their eyes simultaneously, exchanging a glance, both revealing smiles.

Li Shiming perceived from Li Yuanba that Li Yuanba hadn’t obtained much knowledge of the gold rules.

In fact, without his 191 brains, providing 191 knowledge transmission channels, plus the assistance of IBMz15, he couldn’t have fully accepted this knowledge either.

Li Yuanba, like a normal Sword Cultivator, couldn’t possibly accept more knowledge within the nine-day limit of preaching compared to the vast knowledge contained in the Debating Stone.

Without Li Shiming’s comparison, the benefits Li Yuanba received were still immense.

Crucially, that Taoist Lotus merging into Li Yuanba’s body meant that the gains weren’t just what appeared on the surface.

Of course, the biggest gainer was Li Shiming; though an outsider, he not only received the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion ancestor’s Dao rhythm inheritance but also obtained a Taoist Lotus.

In fact, the conditions to activate the Debating Stone, simple as they may seem, require mastering the Sword Intent of the ’Sword Intent Stele’ to a certain degree.

Li Shiming and Li Yuanba’s mastery of ’Chaos Sword Intent’ was already very close to the Sword Intent contained in the ’Sword Intent Stele’.

It was due to the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ that the Debating Stone accepted Li Yuanba, and when the Dao rhythm in the Debating Stone was activated, it also discovered Li Shiming not far away, who also possessed ’Chaos Sword Intent’.

This led the Taoist Lotus to actively seek out Li Shiming, with the Debating Stone considering Li Shiming a disciple of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

It’s not the Debating Stone’s fault; even if the ancestor himself came and saw Li Shiming, he would also regard him as a disciple of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Li Shiming’s core rules include the ’Gold Rules’, and he has mastered the ’Chaos Sword Intent’, especially the ’Chaos Sword Intent’, which must be obtained by cultivating the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ and also comprehending the ’Sword Intent Stele’.

The Sword Intent Stele of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion only opens to the most talented Sword Cultivators among its core Sword Cultivators.

Li Shiming checked the time on IBMz15 and found that the time he spent on the Preaching Peak was exactly the nine-day preaching limit.

He stood up, raising his head to see the gazes directed at him from all around.

In these gazes, there was mostly envy, and there was a kind of helplessness in the eyes of the Sword Elder.

The Sword Elder now understood that Li Yuanba must have passed the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ to Li Shiming, allowing Li Shiming to gain the recognition of the Debating Stone and the benefits of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

However, even if Li Yuanba is powerful, even a Great Cultivator has the right to decide to pass the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ to a certain Cultivator.

As for the matter of the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ leaking out, there’s no need to say more; over more than ten thousand years, who knows how many times the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ has leaked out.
