He circulated the Qi in his body and subtly adjusted his footing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he shot forward like a fish, speeding toward the patch of dense moss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, Shen Bai reached the moss-covered area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he was closer, Shen Bai could see it more clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light of the Flawless Ten Layers Body manifested around Shen Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai raised his left hand, which was now wreathed in golden Buddha’s Light, and wiped away all the moss before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shen Bai wiped the moss away, the sight hidden behind it was finally revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire door was forged from bronze and carved with intricate patterns, giving it an extremely mysterious appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the very center of the door was a bronze handle, as if telling Shen Bai that it was the only way to open it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The secrets of the Celestial Purity Daoist Temple are related to this lake, and now there’s a door at the bottom. From the looks of it, it seems like it can be opened,’ Shen Bai mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In that case, I might as well try opening it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, Shen Bai drew Cold Moon from his waist and grabbed the bronze handle with his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water pressure made the door incredibly heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Shen Bai was a Cultivator. After circulating the Qi in his body, he immediately pulled the bronze door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a low rumble, the door opened, but the expected inrush of lake water never came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai looked closer and discovered an invisible barrier in the doorway, holding the surrounding lake water at bay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I see.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, Shen Bai noticed two sheets of Talisman Paper affixed to either side of the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Talisman Paper was shimmering with light; it was this light that was creating the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It seems the secrets of the Celestial Purity Daoist Temple lie down this passage.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below him was a passage, just wide enough for one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of careful thought, Shen Bai, still shrouded in the light of his Flawless Ten Layers Body, stepped into the passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Shen Bai felt the surrounding water pressure vanish as the air grew dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The passage was dark, its end shrouded in blackness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls were embedded with gems, whose shimmering light faintly illuminated the surrounding darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai activated his Flawless Ten Layers Body. Its white, jade-like radiance intensified, overpowering the light from the gems and illuminating the entire passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bathed in the light of his Flawless Ten Layers Body, Shen Bai got a clear look at his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding walls were covered in densely packed text.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading for a moment, Shen Bai discovered it was a complete collection of the Celestial Purity Daoist Temple’s Daoist Skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talismanic Magic, the Alchemy Method, the Divination Technique...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more shocking, it even included the Supreme Dao Fruit Technique once used by the Temple Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even a whisper of these secrets were to leak out, it would be enough to cause a bloodbath in the Jianghu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But alas, these things were useless to Shen Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment of thought, Shen Bai continued down the passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path forward was surprisingly free of danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light from the surrounding gems even gave off a faint warmth, making Shen Bai feel quite comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shen Bai ventured deeper, a flickering light appeared in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is that the exit?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought spurred him on. Gripping Cold Moon, he quickened his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light grew brighter, and soon, the mouth of a cavern appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the entrance, Shen Bai’s pace quickened even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, Shen Bai noticed something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint tremor rolled in from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the epicenter of the tremor seemed to be the cavern entrance up ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai saw an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eye was as large as a millstone, its scarlet gaze peering through the opening, fixed in Shen Bai’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sinister chill emanated from the eye, instantly dispelling the warmth from the gems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A grotesque!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai stared into the eye, which was filled with savagery and rage, and without a moment’s hesitation, he thrust Cold Moon forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If it’s a grotesque, then I’ll just kill it. No need to hold back.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Red Sword Qi, suffused with a brilliant, righteous power, erupted from Shen Bai’s Cold Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the energy bloomed, countless streams of Sword Qi, like flowers of death, rushed toward the enormous eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the eye flashed, and an ashen-gray beam shot out from its very center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ashen-gray beam struck the Blood Red Sword Qi, throwing it into disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the beam’s influence, much of the Sword Qi began to disintegrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the disintegration wasn’t fast enough. Within a split second, the ray was pierced by Shen Bai’s Blood Red Sword Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining Blood Red Sword Qi continued onward, its momentum unchecked, and slammed into the grotesque’s eye with unstoppable force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening roar echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Red Sword Qi, like a crimson moon, caused the millstone-sized eye to burst apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature’s grotesque, ice-cold aura instantly weakened by more than half as the eye exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The narrow passage was hardly the best place for a fight. Without hesitation, Shen Bai circulated the Qi within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Hundred Miles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai vanished from the passage, becoming nothing more than an afterimage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, he shot out of the passage and into the space beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside was an enormous cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the deep cavern, dim, yellow light cast mottled shadows on bizarrely shaped stalactites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stalagmites, like towering trees in an ancient forest, were scattered throughout the cavern in a pleasing arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold draft wafted from the depths, mingling with the warm light to create a mysterious yet serene atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of dripping water, clear in the silence, echoed through the cavern like an ancient melody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And amidst it all, Shen Bai finally saw the true form of the creature with the terrifying eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a grotesque that stood ten zhang tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grotesque’s entire body was covered in densely carved Dao Text.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to the Dao Text, chains woven from Talisman Paper were bound around the grotesque’s arms and legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eye having been blown apart by Shen Bai’s sword, the grotesque was now wailing incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai, however, paid the grotesque no mind for the moment, his gaze instead sweeping downwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, there was a meditation cushion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure was seated cross-legged upon it, head bowed, chanting scriptures.\u003C\u002Fp>",1121,"2026-06-03T14:13:27.146Z","2026-06-03T14:13:33.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","c735b077a9aefd4d6da6211315063296231f177b3894dd9993873177dc95291a","i-can-extract-divine-power-chapter-257","i-can-extract-divine-power-chapter-255",322,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-extract-divine-power-cover.jpg"]
