Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Buddhistic Soul Species - The First Move of Tathagata Palm (Legendary Level)_1
After taking his revenge on the ghost house, even without practicing the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Soul Forging Skill, Wang Linchi’s spiritual power had increased to 100 points. Coupled with the 1,000 points of spiritual power within the Nine Revolutions Golden Core, he now had a total of 1,100 points of spiritual power.
During these three days, Wang Linchi was naturally practicing the Taoist Embryo and Original Infant Spirit Aspect Secret Technique and researching his Epic Level Soul Kind evolution.
Then Yan Chuan interrupted him, saying that Fahui was looking for him with great news. Wang Linchi had no choice but to interrupt his research and go to Rooster Crow Temple to take a look.
"So, you’re saying that the God of White Wind is turning into the White Wind Arhat and will bestow blessings during the process, which is why you came to find me?" Wang Linchi was somewhat surprised. Indeed, when his favorability rating is high, anything is possible.
"Exactly. When you and I went together to capture the deity, it is now time for our reward," Fahui said with a straight face, even though Wang Linchi had done nothing and could only claim that they went together.
"Don’t you feel guilty saying that..." Wang Linchi retorted. Fahui simply smiled without replying and quickly changed the subject. "It’s a pity that the God of White Wind’s position isn’t high enough, so he could only become an Arhat. If he were one of those revered gods in the Divine Dynasty, he might have become a Bodhisattva."
"Are those revered gods of the Divine Dynasty very powerful?" Wang Linchi asked.
Fahui’s face grew serious. "They are very powerful. What’s truly formidable is not their strength, but their dominion."
"But rest assured, now that the White Wind Arhat has been born, their God Domain has become our Buddha Domain. Even if the Supreme God comes, he won’t gain any advantage," Fahui said, displaying caution yet not fear.
As they talked, they looked at the statue of an Arhat holding a white beetle at the side of the main hall. This was the White Wind Arhat. The physical body of the God of White Wind had long since been converted and transformed into a human.
Several minutes later, the white beetle in the Arhat statue’s hand began to emit a radiant light. Wang Linchi and Fahui were naturally bathed in it.
"What is this..." Wang Linchi felt his body changing. His physique grew stronger, breaking through the extreme limit of the White Porcelain level. His physiological improvement had already stalled, and he wouldn’t have improved further unless he broke through to the Black Iron Level.
In addition, his spiritual power had also increased tremendously, breaking through the original 100-point limit to reach a new limit of 109 points.
"For a layman like you, an Arhat’s Blessing still has some effect. It’s a pity that you are still a bit lacking. If you had progressed a bit further, maybe you could have obtained my previous Vajra Body," Fahui said, expressing some regret.
The Vajra Body was that old talent, so powerful that even the Headless Ghost had been unable to break its defense when amplified by Buddhist means.
If Wang Linchi’s strength were forced to increase to that extent, his physical body would collapse. Therefore, only his physical strength could be advanced to his limit of endurance; the rest was added to his spiritual power.
In fact, he could have reached 110 points. It stopped at 109 because the White Wind Arhat sensed he couldn’t handle it.
So essentially, Wang Linchi only enjoyed a fraction of this blessing, unlike Fahui, who had fully accepted it.
After the radiant light vanished, the White Wind Arhat statue transformed from mere stone into a living, breathing human. Yet, he remained still, staying in place to accept faith and belief, silently cultivating to increase his power.
At the same time, Wang Linchi saw a Soul Kind starting to take form on the White Wind Arhat’s offering table. However, its formation speed was remarkably slow. An Epic Level Soul Kind hadn’t been this slow to form initially.
According to estimates, it might take a day, so Wang Linchi decided to stay at Rooster Crow Temple.
By the second day, the Soul Kind had fully formed, surprisingly into a Legendary Level Soul Kind.
Wang Linchi had indeed prepared himself for this, but he was still genuinely shocked when it came into his hands.
[Buddhistic Soul Kind - The First Move of Tathagata Palm (Legendary Level)]
[Buddha’s Light First Appears: Sheds a bright Buddha’s Light, temporarily blinding enemies; simultaneously makes enemies weightless and float, severely impairing their ability to resist.]
[Heart-Light Dharma Command: Buddha’s Light harbors mighty purification abilities, removing all negative effects and healing allies and oneself within its range.]
[Reincarnation: Buddha’s Light grants attack power and conversion effects, causing an extra 50% damage and enhanced conversion effects towards non-human races.]
[Foundation Technique: Buddha’s Light all-effect power increased by 50%.]
[Change Tendons, Wash Marrow: When cultivating Soul Forging Methods and Soul Skills, efficiency increased by 50%.]
[Vajra Body: Physique strength increased by 50%.]
[Heart Like a Bright Mirror: Spiritual power strength increased by 50%.]
"HISS... It’s so terrifying." Wang Linchi couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath. He knew that a Legendary Level Soul Kind would be powerful, but he had never expected it to be this potent.
Negative effects, purification and assistance, plus damage and forced control. The first three effects alone meant that as soon as Buddha’s Light was released, allies would be enhanced, and enemies would be attacked and rendered unable to move. The conversion effect was a higher-level version of the Mini Conversion Technique. Although it still consumed a spiritual power quota, once an enemy was converted, they could be permanently controlled unless the Soul Kind’s master intentionally dispelled it.
The rest were all power-boosting effects, increasing strength by a full 50%. Legendary Level Soul Kinds could enhance power by fifty percent, while Mythology level ones naturally doubled it.
Honestly, I’m tempted. I could completely replace one of the Soul Kinds within me. Even if my cultivation doesn’t skyrocket as a result, I could still live more comfortably.
Fortunately, he quickly suppressed this thought. If I were to replace one of my Soul Kinds with this Legendary Level Soul Kind · Buddha Palm First Style, I would only own one Legendary Level Soul Kind. However, if I were to study this Legendary Level Soul Kind and thereby evolve all of my own Soul Kinds, then I would possess four Legendary Level Soul Kinds. I’m not sure whether I would still possess the power of thought after removing any of my Soul Kinds and trying to embed them back. Thought power is key to my Soul Kind and Soul Resemblance evolution.
That’s why he sensibly suppressed this idea. What’s more, a Legendary Soul Kind isn’t the limit for my Soul Kinds. As long as I possess thought power and constantly broaden my knowledge and power, my Soul Kinds have the potential to evolve to the Mythology level. I shouldn’t lose the watermelon while trying to pick up sesame seeds, even if this watermelon is still growing.
He immediately stashed the Soul Kind · Buddha Palm First Style into his Storage Soul Device.
I must have received this Legendary Level Soul Kind as a reward for the Rooster Crow Temple mission, right? Wang Linchi knew that he must have overachieved, hence the hefty rewards.
Repairing Rooster Crow Temple and recreating the Buddha statue in gold were just the basic expectations; the rewards wouldn’t normally have been this generous. Wang Linchi had allowed the Headless Ghost to become a protector, Murong Su to become the Fahui Abbot, the Naga to become a protector beast, and the God of White Wind to morph into the White Wind Arhat.
Although these later affairs seemed unrelated to Wang Linchi, if he hadn’t initiated things and gathered such tremendous advantages for Rooster Crow Temple, none of this would have been possible. Not to mention, Rooster Crow Temple had formed a Buddha Domain and firmly established itself.
Besides, another mission is currently ongoing: the extermination of demons and monsters in Black Rain City, which I’m leading. However, it probably won’t yield a Legendary Level reward. At most, it might be an Epic one, given that I didn’t directly participate. Moreover, it’s only a secondary event derived from the Rooster Crow Temple mission.
If the first style of the Tathagata Palm is Legendary Level, wouldn’t the complete technique be Mythology level? Sadly, I probably won’t ever have the chance to gather the remaining Tathagata Palm techniques in my lifetime.
Wang Linchi felt a bit of regret. Besides this Tathagata Palm technique, which is divided into several styles, there might be an overall doctrine, just like how the core Soul Kind, Peacock Feather Sword Heart, in the Peacock Sword Sect enhances other Soul Kinds of the Peacock Sword Sect. If I’m not mistaken, this master Soul Kind of the Tathagata Palm could probably be Mythology level.
I wonder how Yan Ming King is doing. If I can obtain a Legendary Level Soul Kind, he must have gotten his hands on a Mythology level one by now. Wang Linchi thought about this spontaneously.
Compared to me, sent off to a remote area, Yan Ming King and his beloved are stirring up trouble in the Divine Dynasty. Murong Su, Fahui’s predecessor, was caught up in the turmoil stirred by the king and was eventually eliminated from the running. I can’t even be considered Yan Ming King’s enemy.
Next, I should focus on quietly cultivating. With Epic and Legendary Level Soul Kinds at hand, there’s no need to worry about evolution data for my four Soul Kinds in the short term. As for cultivation resources, I have more than enough. The minimum should be sufficient for me to cultivate to the Mountain Copper Level, unless I manage to research some technique or project like ’Swallow Gold To Strengthen’.
