The Ancestral Bodhi in Alex’s mind palace dragged favonovel.com in instead.
Presently, Alex was throwing demonic cores one after another into the flaming lotus. The great number of instantly-erupting mysterious factors were absorbed by his real body, entering his three thousand golden cores. The golden cores were changing, germinating, and nurturing life.
It was then that a voice shouted in his mind palace, “Hey, rascal. Keep your word. You’ve disintegrated so much immortal Chi. You can’t be having all of it to yourself. Hurry up and give me some!”
The one who spoke was none other than Ancestor Bodhi. He was a fair boy, looking similar to a preschooler.
The Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s vitality reduced greatly after the toxicity of a great demon at Dairaionji Temple destroyed it. He, the tree spirit, had also suffered severe damage and turned into his current state… However, the Ancestral Bodhi Tree was a sacred tree cultivated shortly after the beginning of the world. It had survived countless epochs with its tracks spanning multiple dimensions. The things that it had seen were beyond the imagination of the uninitiated.
The mysterious factors that Alex was currently absorbing, for instance, were actually something called ‘ethereal Chi’. Ancestor Bodhi was the one who had told Alex about that. He had also told Alex that favonovel.com could disintegrate the demonic cores and extract the ethereal Chi within them with the flaming lotus of Buddha’s wrath.
And, ethereal Chi was something more advanced than immortal Chi.
“Bodhi, take it easy!”
“Let me consume this ethereal Chi first to improve my strength so that I can kill even more demon beasts and disintegrate more ethereal Chi. I’ll naturally give it to you when the time comes, but we’d both be finished if the demon beasts here were to kill me because I’m not strong enough.”
Ancestor Bodhi said, “Your words seem to make sense. You better kill the beasts quickly then.”
After Alex had absorbed all the ethereal Chi, favonovel.com spat a mouthful of impure Chi. “You’ll have to let me take a break for a while.”
“A break, my *ss. Now that Ihave gotten your physical body here and your strength has increased dramatically, you can just use the resources you’ve acquired in the battle to fight further. What is the point of taking a break? If the divided soul of the True Martial Starlord were to find out that you’re cheating, favonovel.com would kick your physical body away, and you would be struggling again.”
Alex nodded. “You’re right. I’ll fight then… We’ve killed 979 demon beasts, right? D*mn it. There are still about one hundred thousand of them after rounding up.”
However, Alex had got a knack for killing demon beasts. Furthermore, favonovel.com had mastered the True Martial Star-shattering Punch to the third degree.
The old protector had demanded that favonovel.com cultivate the set of punch techniques and acquire enlightenment from it. It had five degrees in total, and each contained a unique name, Star-shocking, Star-breaking, Star-cracking, Star-severing, and Star-shattering.
Meanwhile, the energy consumption of each degree was slightly different. Alex gained an intense feeling after cultivating it from the first to the third degree.
His former cultivation techniques were flawed.
It wasn’t that the techniques were bad, but some areas fit favonovel.com poorly. Those areas could actually be improved until they suited favonovel.com better and their power increased. The cultivation of the True Martial Star-shattering Punch, was in fact, a gradual process of modifying the cultivation technique.
After Alex had experienced this process, favonovel.com could extrapolate information from it and make personalized modifications to his other cultivation techniques.
A month later, Alex had managed to kill three thousand enemies after fighting a valiant and dauntless fight. He had finally cultivated the True Martial Star-shattering Punch to the fifth degree, Star-shattering.
It was then that favonovel.com received some kind of enlightenment.
He killed no enemies the next month, but hid underground and focused on modifying his martial cultivation techniques.
Bodhi’s Dragon-Tusk. Great Mighty Divine Palm. Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation. Thunder Palm Mantra.
He even modified and adjusted the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell and the lotus filled with Buddha’s wrath.
In the third month, favonovel.com rushed into a cave of demon beasts. There were at least three thousand abyssal demon wolves inside.
“Taste my new and improved Small Icebound Spell!”
