Chapter 1909: Chapter 1001: Investigation
Li Shiming searched around the area of Da Leiyin Templeās mountain gate and found two soul crystal rings, as well as two fifth-grade Buddhist Spiritual Treasures.
Although the destruction was caused by the collapse of the Cave Heaven Space, the demise of the two Bodhisattvas was largely due to the collapse of their own Cave Heaven.
Thus, part of the Spiritual Objects of the two Bodhisattvas were preserved and werenāt destroyed along with the Bodhisattvasā demise.
Of course, whether it is the soul crystal rings or the fifth-grade Buddhist Spiritual Treasures, they arenāt easily destroyed.
He felt a bit regretful that in Huinan Bodhisattvaās Inheritance Cave Heaven, there was the entire inheritance of Da Leiyin Temple and a massive accumulation of resources, but now it seems these might have been destroyed as the Cave Heaven collapsed.
"So greedy!" he thought to himself, shaking his head and speaking softly.
In one act of revenge, he annihilated two Bodhisattvas; such an achievement was established without any damage to himself.
Even though the loot was only the soul crystal rings and the fifth-grade Lifebound Spiritual Treasure left by the two Bodhisattvas, it was already enough.
"The disturbance here is too great; I canāt stay here for long!" Without any other harvest, he spoke to himself.
Li Shiming swiftly landed on the back of the Golden Winged Dapeng; its figure disappeared, performing Space Movement to take him toward the Dongqi Continent.
Not long after Li Shiming left, seven Great Power Avatars appeared at the ruins of Da Leiyin Templeās mountain gate.
Indeed, the mountain gate of Da Leiyin Temple could now be called a ruin, with no traces of its original form visible.
The seven Great Power Avatars sensed the earth-shattering space fluctuations emanating from the mountain gate of Da Leiyin Temple, choosing not to rush over immediately, but waiting a moment until the strong energy fluctuations subsided before regrouping and coming together.
The terror of the space fluctuations broadcasting from Da Leiyin Templeās mountain gate made the Great Powers feel endangered.
Before they even reached the mountain gate, just entering the scope of Da Leiyin Templeās influence, they sensed something amiss.
"Sword Madman, why do I feel something is wrong here?" Meng Jun Great Power Avatar from Luanyang Palace asked Sword Elder.
Sword Elder understood the situation at Da Leiyin Temple the best, given the frequent conflicts between Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and Da Leiyin Temple, and besides, Sword Elder was never a placid Great Power.
"I sensed the unique aura within a Buddhist Cave Heaven, implying that a Bodhisattva has fallen!" Sword Elder responded in a deep voice.
His avatar was on alert, and judging by the destruction here, even he couldnāt have achieved this.
Killing a Great Power might be possible through a one-hit kill before they enter the Cave Heaven, but destroying a Cave Heaven is no simple matter.
Even Sword Elder, without using the deadly weapon passed down by ancestors, couldnāt achieve the destruction of the Cave Heaven.
Yet, the situation here was an immediate collapse of a Buddhist Great Powerās Cave Heaven, with the space within released.
"No, two Bodhisattvas have fallen!" After flying a certain distance, Sword Elder refuted his prior statement.
He sensed the aura of a second Buddhist Cave Heaven, which he couldnāt be mistaken about.
Not only him, but the other Great Power Avatars also discovered discrepancies.
They collectively summoned energy within themselves, preparing for a potential battle.
Simultaneously, their hearts were gripped with extreme shock; the fall of two Bodhisattvas suggested that both Huinan Bodhisattva and the just-returned Huiyue Bodhisattva had perished?
What kind of existence in the Cultivation World could slay two Bodhisattvas?
Even with all of them joining forces earlier, they merely severely injured Great Power Leng Luo.
"Was it Li Shizhenās doing?" Jiang Great Power of Guiyuan Sect voiced a query.
"How could Li Shizhen possess such means!" one Great Power shook his head, unable to believe it.
Though he spoke thus, his eyes reflected intensifying astonishment.
The Great Powers here belonged to several super forces of the Central State Continent, boasting strong intelligence networks.
Li Shiming, traveling at immense speed, did not allow Da Leiyin Temple any advance preparation, but he did not hide his tracks.
He is now somewhat of a celebrity in the Cultivation World; any cultivator witnessing him would recognize his identity.
Thus, all the major super forces received intelligence, noting Li Shimingās arrival on the Central State Continent.
Considering what happened at Da Leiyin Temple, and correlating it with Li Shimingās travels to the Central State Continent, the probability of him being responsible for the affair at Da Leiyin Templeās mountain gate was immense.
Yet, the Great Power could not fully believe it, considering the events at Da Leiyin Temple were too astonishing to accept.
"Earlier Huiyue Bodhisattva went to Dongqi Continent to hunt Li Shizhen; perhaps this is retaliation!" Sword Elder spoke with a solemn tone.
He was internally quite surprised, but he hoped that Li Shiming was strong enough so that Li Yuanba, his friend, would not encounter troubles.
At this moment, the Great Power Avatars reached Da Leiyin Templeās mountain gate, taking in the surroundings and exchanging glances.
They could already affirm a single fact: Huinan Bodhisattva, the Inheritor Great Ability of Da Leiyin Temple, had undoubtedly fallen here.
Previously it was mere speculation, despite their guesses from the Cave Heavenās aura being quite accurate, but now, upon examining Da Leiyin Templeās mountain gate, they could confirm it beyond a shadow of a doubt.
