Little Nine's Talent

Li Qingshan wanted to know just how powerful the Vajrayana Sect's magnum opus—the Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures—was.

Why was it known as the Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures?

"The Stele Forest is as vast as the sea. As expected, it did not just punish the disciples of the Yuhua Sect.

"If the Million Stele Forest are all disciples of the Yuhua Sect, then how many geniuses has the Yuhua Sect lost?

"The Five Ghosts Life-Claiming Technique and Five Emperors Demonic Technique that I comprehended before are not techniques of the Yuhua Sect.

"Thus, the enemies, demons and monsters, and even monks of the Foreign Western Regions killed by the Yuhua Sect would be sealed in steles and placed on Repentance Cliff too.

"This is why that foreign monk came here tonight to search for the Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures."

Li Qingshan finally understood why the techniques he had comprehended before were odd. They did not seem to be from righteous sects.

This was the true reason.

"Whether they are from the righteous sects, demonic clans, or even the Buddhist sects, I can cultivate them all. Therefore, I should be tolerant of the entire world and cultivate the strengths of each sect, integrating them with my body to create my undefeatable skillset."

Li Qingshan did not mind this at all. After cultivating a technique of the demonic sects, he now began to comprehend the Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures.

He reached out to caress the stele, which was a few meters tall. There were three Buddhas carved on it. They faced three directions, representing the different directions.

Li Qingshan observed it carefully and ignored everything else. Nevertheless, he immersed in it and could not pull himself out.

The night passed quickly. When the first rays of morning light shone down, a line of words appeared before Li Qingshan's eyes.

[You observed the stele carefully and activated your maxed-level comprehension skill. You have now comprehended Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures!]

Li Qingshan opened his eyes with a shocked gaze. He only realized how powerful the Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures were after comprehending them.

The Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures were not a common technique nor a divine technique. It was a technique that described the Great Buddhist Path.

Thus, one could cultivate it as long as one comprehended it, no matter the cultivation plane.

The Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures included the past, present, and future.

Thus, when separated, the Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures were the Maitreya Scripture of the Past, Tathagata Scripture of the Present, and the Anutpattika Scripture of the Future. 

This was the magnum opus of the Buddhist sects.

Cultivating it successfully would affect the path that everyone tried to search for.

Li Qingshan did not hurry to start cultivating. Instead, he got up and returned to the bamboo hut. He burned incense and took a bath to calm his excited heart before he sat down to cultivate.

Li Qingshan officially started cultivating the Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures.

As time passed, three illusory figures gradually appeared behind his back. The figures slowly became more tangible until they became three Buddhas.

The Buddhas formed successfully and were accompanied by the Sound of Buddha. The song seemed to come from the distant past but also the eternal future...

The Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures were a complete set. The three Buddhas represented the past, present, and future.

Their materialization meant that Li Qingshan had entered the optimal state.

There was no one to disturb him, so he quietly cultivated with no regard to day or night. He wanted to grasp this magnum opus of the Buddhist sects.

One month passed like this.

No one disturbed him this month. Nobody thought that Li Qingshan was responsible for the death of that foreign monk. Plus, the five ghosts had cleaned it up, so there was not a shred of evidence. No one would suspect Li Qingshan.

One month later, Li Qingshan emerged from seclusion. His cultivation was still at the peak of the Grandmaster Plane, but his aura was completely different.

The current Li Qingshan could kill the person he was a month ago with a mere slap.

"If growing my spirit did not require much energy and time, I would have already broken past the Grandmaster Plane and into the Ascension Plane." Li Qingshan was in no hurry. One had to comprehend the Great Path to go from the Grandmaster Plane to the Ascension Plane. One did not advance forcefully only by cultivating hard or relying on one's root bone."

In his former body's memories, Li Qingshan saw the process of entering the Ascension Plane.

Thus, he was in no hurry. He quietly waited for the right moment.

After leaving seclusion, Li Qingshan started strolling around the bamboo hut.

He had cultivated for one month, and his body needed exercise. Li Qingshan looked at all the blooming flowers, the dragonflies perched on the water, the koi fish swimming freely, the rippling river, and the beautiful mountains. And his mood improved.

"Nature is so beautiful. Why should I be frustrated about mundane troubles?" Li Qingshan mused while in the water.

His soul had become rounded.

It was like a sharp, four-sided stone that had been placed under a waterfall.

If it were washed day after day, the stone would become smooth and rounded.

Li Qingshan had also smoothed out his sharp edges.

He cleared away his messy thoughts, making himself clean and transparent. He had no impurities; his inside and outside became one.

One had to be clean. If one's inner thoughts were too complex, it would affect the cultivation.

Sect Leader Hall of the Yuhua Sect.

The Yuhua Sect Leader looked at the girl before him in shock. "You have entered the Grandmaster Plane in just one month?" he asked in surprise.

Little Nine lifted her pale neck and nodded softly. She was shocked too. She thought it would take at least half a year for her to enter the Grandmaster Plane.

Who knew that she would succeed in just one month?

She was not the only one surprised at her speed. Even the Yuhua Sect Leader personally summoned Little Nine to check.

As a result, Little Nine had naturally entered the Grandmaster Plane.

"You are only 13 years old and have cultivated for one year, but you actually entered the Grandmaster Plane..." The Yuhua Sect Leader was even more pleasantly surprised. If he had not witnessed this, he would not have believed it.

Had the Yuhua Sect encountered another genius?

"I have checked your root bone. There is nothing strange, so how come you are so fast at cultivating now?" the sect leader asked curiously.

Little Nine's root bone was not as shocking as Li Qingshan's.

She knew deep down that it must be due to the technique her brother had given her.

She had cultivated that technique for one month and modified her root bone. Then, it advanced to another level, letting her enter the Grandmaster Plane.

She could not say this, though. Her brother had said to keep it a secret or else he would get punished.

Little Nine did not want her brother to get punished.

"I don't know," Little Nine said, pretending to be clueless. "I was just cultivating on my own and don't know anything else."

"That is fine. Cultivate well, and I will have the sect change your resources to the top level. The sect will put in all efforts to train you from today on. Is there anything else you want?" the sect leader asked with a smile.

"Master Sect Leader, now that I'm in the Grandmaster Plane, can I go visit Brother?" Little Nine asked crisply.

She did not want anything other than to visit her brother often.

The Yuhua Sect Leader nodded at this. "Of course. From now on, you can visit your brother once a month. Bring some books for him. It is quite lonely on Repentance Cliff."

Other disciples were generally forbidden to enter Repentance Cliff.

But a genius like Little Nine could enter Repentance Cliff at will.

"Thank you, Master." Little Nine nodded happily. She immediately prepared to visit her brother.

The Sect Leader watched Little Nine off and lamented, "The gods must want to revitalize the Yuhua Sect. Li Qingshan was disabled, but his sister displayed such strong talent and immediately took his place. Is everyone from the Great Yan Dynasty all so talented?"
