Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 351 222 Divine Skills

In the Divine Foot Skill legacy, the only technique that Foundation Establishment cultivators could learn was the ”Step by Step Lotus”. The more advanced secret techniques simply couldnʼt be sustained by the spiritual power of those at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Even the ”Step by Step Lotus” cultivation technique wasnʼt easy to master, requiring one to visualize a ”White Lotus Pattern” from the Divine Foot Skill legacy in the mind.

If it were an ordinary pattern, a Foundation Establishment Cultivatorʼs mind could visualize it with ease.

But this ”White Lotus Pattern” was different. At first glance, it appeared ordinary; however, upon closer inspection, every tiny point of the ”White Lotus Pattern” was composed of innumerable Buddhist Sanskrit characters.

Without the transmission method of Jade Foot Relics, such a cultivation technique couldnʼt be passed down using mere text and illustrations.

The number of Sanskrit characters in the ”White Lotus Pattern” exceeded ten billion. Even for Foundation Establishment Cultivators who wanted to visualize such a vast array of characters forming the ”White Lotus Pattern”, the majority would be unable to complete this workload in their lifetime.

No matter how strong oneʼs memory, it has its limits. Remembering ten billion characters and also needing to arrange them into a pattern simply wasnʼt within the capability of an ordinary cultivator.

Only Buddhist cultivators who were exposed to Sanskrit from a young age, understanding the arrangement and sequential significance of the characters, could significantly reduce the memory workload.

With the help of the Buddhaʼs intent emanating from the Jade Foot Relics, what seemed like an impossible task could be accomplished.

Li Yuanba just glanced at it and gave up the idea of learning ”Step by Step Lotus” immediately, as it was not something that could be achieved in a short time.

He was indeed interested in ”Step by Step Lotus”. This method of rapid movement, once mastered, could greatly enhance his combat prowess.

Imagine a Sword Cultivator moving as if flashing around; no cultivator could easily attack such a swordsman, who could then unleash flying swords with full force without concern for personal safety, maximizing the attack power of a Sword Cultivator.

This was the idealized combat style for Sword Cultivators, and traditionally, this was what they strove for.

Li Yuanba was also a traditional Sword Cultivator. His ”Sword Demon Secret Manual” only went up to the Foundation Establishment, with just a magical longsword left at the Golden Core Stage.

The main cultivation technique he practiced, the ”Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique”, was that of a traditional Sword Cultivator, and he naturally pursued a long-range fighting style, which was safer.

Meanwhile, Li Shiming was studying the ”Step by Step Lotus”, the introductory technique of Divine Foot Skill.

He was unaware of the depths of Divine Foot Skill; otherwise, he wouldnʼt be so composed.

The IBMz15 was processing the ”White Lotus Pattern”. Even for the IBMz15, handling the ten billion character ”White Lotus Pattern” took some time.

Li Shiming tried to make the IBMz15 inject the ”White Lotus Pattern” into his consciousness, a method he used previously for quick memorization. As long as IBMz15 accessed the document, it was as if he had quickly scanned the document himself, with all its contents directly imprinted in his consciousness.

This time, when the IBMz15 injected the ”White Lotus Pattern”, his consciousness experienced a brief halt due to the data overload.

Fortunately, his spirit was strong enough. There werenʼt many Foundation Establishment Cultivators who possessed Divine Thought, and he overcame the influx of massive data from the ”White Lotus Pattern” into his consciousness.

Visualization entails manifesting something in oneʼs consciousness, usually through the power of the mind.

Li Shiming used a cheating method again, making the ”White Lotus Pattern” appear in his consciousness through the special relationship with IBMz15.

Upon its appearance, the ”White Lotus Pattern” emitted a faint glow, and instantly, he gained insight into ”Step by Step Lotus”.

The core of ”Step by Step Lotus” was the ”White Lotus Pattern”. With it, he could nonsensically produce white lotuses in the external world, over which he could move instantaneously across a certain distance.

The most illogical part of this technique was its instantaneous movement. After realizing the core of ”Step by Step Lotus”, he discovered that it was indeed true instantaneous movement and not just a method of speeding up.

He had not reached the level where he could comprehend the concept of Divine Skills of the Nascent Soul Stage, so he didnʼt realize that he was actually practicing an introductory Divine Skill.

”This is unscientific!” he exclaimed in a probing of his soul, but trying to explain immortal cultivation with science in the Cultivation World was itself unscientific.

Li Shiming dispelled the Flying Boat, and a white lotus appeared beneath his feet, holding him stationary in the air.

His Divine Thought unfolded. As his consciousness shifted slightly, the ”White Lotus Pattern” projected a lotus appearing a hundred meters away, his figure vanishing from the original spot and reappearing on the distant white lotus.

During the process of disappearance and reappearance, he felt the surrounding scenery undergo a shift as if space itself had transformed.

This change almost caused the ever-observing and data-collecting IBMz15 to crash. If IBMz15 had consciousness, it too would have exclaimed, ”This is unscientific!”

Li Shiming discovered his movement distance exceeded that of Jue Yuan Buddha. He projected another white lotus through the ”White Lotus Pattern”, and this time, the lotus appeared two hundred meters away.

This was nearly double the distance Jue Yuan Buddha could move during battle, who only managed to reach one hundred and fifty meters at his peak.

Considering Li Shiming was in the early-stage Foundation Establishment and Jue Yuan Buddha was at the mid-stage, the difference wasnʼt in their stages but in their spiritual strength.

Li Shiming, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had cultivated Divine Thought, was the reason he could extend ”Step by Step Lotus” to two hundred meters.
