Chereads / Cultivation! But I have Minecraft Cheats ON / Chapter 20 - Lake Lotus Palace

Chapter 20 - Lake Lotus Palace

Lake Lotus Sect was a legacy which spanned over thousands of years. 

Legend has it that Lake Lotus Sect was created over thousands of years ago when three legendary powerhouses clased at the very location the sect stands today. 

Their might was boundless and shook the heavens and split the earth. 

Their fight lasted for exactly 9 years 9 months and 9 days before they decided to undo the damage they had done and established the Lake Lotus Sect. 

The craters they created were filled with water and new life forms were birthed. 

Food chains were established and the landscape was restored. 

Each crater became a lake and lotuses bloomed. 

Thousands of years later, 

Today, 

At the heart of Lake Lotus Sect lies the Lotus Lake the largest lake, spanning tens of thousands of meters. 

The Lotus Lake remains shrouded in fog all year round, covering the innumerous lotuses with a blanket of mystery. 

Amidst the Lotus Lake laid the Lake Lotus Palace. 

Lake Lotus Palace was extravagent and majestic, innumerous spiritual materials were spent like cabbage to construct this palace. 

Once could say that this place was the pride of Lake Lotus Sect! 

Lake Lotus Palace was also the residance of the Sect Master. 

Sect Master!

The highest authority within the Lake Lotus Sect!

The Master of all the tens of thousands of members of Lake Lotus Sect!

This serene and majestic palace, was however shrouded in gloom today. 

Lake Lotus Hall, 

All the elders had gathered today and kneeled towards a golden lotus throne which stood atop a giant staircase whose every step showed off a majestic feeling. 

Unrivaled!

Supreme Authority!

"So..... You're telling me that the outer alchemy pavilion's treasurey just vanished?," a cold voice resounded 

A terrifying pressure engulfed the elders as they broke out in cold sweat. 

"Hmm, very well then. Since the sect has suffered loss under Elder Jian Hu's jurisdiction, you will naturally have to pay repecusstions," Sect Leader's voice was cold and distinct. 

"N- Naturally Sect Master, I am willing to pay as many merits points as possible!" 

Jian Hu trembled as he spoke. 

After all, he was merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator. 

He had previously refined a Golden Core Pill, which could aid him in breaking through into the Golden Core realm. 

"The outer sect has suffered massive losses due to you, how will the outer sect disciples cultivate after your blunder" 

"Even if you used all of your merit points, do you really think that you can cover for all the losses?" 

Jian Hu started palpitating on the outside while clenching his teeth inwards. 

'Damn it! What sect rules! this is just a way of supressing me!' 

Every organization had it's own internal struggles and conflits. 

Each Elder kneeling here was in a form of competition amongst each other. 

The Sect Leader himself was no different, he was using the rules to put a leash on Jian Hu. 

The reason? 

It was simple, there were enough Elders competing for resouces in the inner sect. 

Each Elder had a cultivation level in the range of Golden Core. 

Furthermore, it was already revealed that Jian Hu had succeeded in refining a Golden Core Pill. 

How could the Sect Leader let such a variable run around doing as he pleased? 

How dare he think of using the Golden Core Pill that he refined for himself?

How dare he try to break into Golden Core Realm and topple the fragile power balance in the Lake Lotus Sect. 

Unscrumptious!

After thinking for a while, Elder Jian Hu started speaking. 

"I-If that's not sufficient, I would also like to refine pills only for Sect Leader for a-at least a period of 5 years!" 

-Silence-

'Damn It! I'm not going to hand over the Golden Core Pill no matter what!' 

Naturally Elder Jian Hu couldn't say those words out loud. 

If he gave it up, it was like giving up his hope for advancing!

"N-No I meant 5-teen years, I meant 15 years!" 

"hmm....." 

"I'll only refine pills for Sect Leader and will work completely under you for 30 years!" 

"Very well Elder Jian Hu, Since you are willing to invest so much time into the betterment of the sect, I will overlook this matter." 

"The Sect Leader is truly maganimous!" 

"May Sect Leader reign for a thousand years!" 

"Sect Leader is too benevolent!" 

All the Elders naturally didn't shy away from flaterring the Sect Leader. 

"Hmm, Good. It seems that I've been keeping you away from your tasks today. Do not worry, I will personally look into this matter and find the thief, you may not be concerned about this matter anymore." 

"Everybody except Elder Jian Hu, disperse!" 

As soon as Sect Leader gave command, all the Elders vanished with a bright light. 

Jian Hu's anxiety increased a hunderedfold as he kept his head attached to the floor, not daring to look up. 

The Sect Leader didn't say a single word. 

It was obvious what this situation was leading to. 

Damn it!

Damn it!

Damn it!

Elder Jian Hu's mind worked at lightening speed, trying to think of ways to overcome his predicament. 

A couple of breaths later, Jian Hu finally came to a descision. 

As if a large burden had left his shoulders, his demenor changed from anxious to tranquil. 

He had accepted what had to be done, there was no need to hesitate anymore. 

"I hope Sect Leader accepts my sincerity, this is a token of thanks from this subordinate's side," Jian Hu finally broke the silence as he took out a small red box from his robes.

"You've made a good decision Elder Jian Hu," Sect Leader's words lessened Jian Hu's pressure even further. 

"Don't worry, as long as you perform well, You'll naturally have the chance of regaining this Golden Core Pill." 

And so the carrot and stick was arranged. 

Jian Hu was now completely leashed. 

What 30 years of refining? 

He had permadently entered Sect Leader's wing. Even after 30 years if his circumstances remained the same, he would still need to depend on Sect Leader. 

In fact, it was highly likely that the Sect Leader wouldn't give the pill to anyone else. 

It would remain as a bait which Jian Hu couldn't even refuse!

He needed that pill to increase his chances of breakthrough into Golden Core Realm. 

"I thank the Sect Leader for giving me another change to redeem myself, I, Jian Hu will serve you to the best of my ability!" Jian Hu said. 

"Good, give it your all and your future will only shine brighter and brighter. Now, before you leave take this," Saying so, the Sect Leader threw a golden plaque towards Jian Hu. 

"Now then, do what you've been told." 

"This subordinate will listen to Elder!" Saying so, Jian Hu immidiately left the Lake Lotus Hall. 

"Hehe, Sect Leader's ambition is truly vast," Jain Hu smiled lightly as his figure turned vague and dissapeared. 

Lake Lotus Hall

"A theif entered and exited without anyone knowing....," Lotus Sect Master sat stop her throne as she muttered to herself. 

"Looking at the clues and the fact that the alarm system was not triggered, it leads to only one conclusion... it must be, Turn Virtual!  ," Her gaze turned serious as thoughts were processed in her mind. 

Turn Virtual! 

It was the essence of a Narscent Soul Cultivator, they could turn their entire being into nothingness. 

They would turn into a spectator of the world but could still interfere!

It was a mysterious realm!

"Even though I am only a step away from Narscent Soul Realm, I am still too far behind in grasping it's profundities."

"But.... why would a Narscent Soul Realm cultivator bother acting like a petty thief just to get some low levelled spiritual items, not even sparing the walls or floor of the treasury?" 

Lotus Sect Master tried, but couldn't make any sense out of it. 

Well, nonetheless it didn't matter. She had already informed the Supreme Elders about this incident. 

Eventually Lotus Sect Master curled her legs into a crossed legged form and began cultivating.

Meanwhile, 

Body Tempering Peak, 

Mountain Cave, 

Night had painted the entire sky dark, except from the periodical gusts of wind nothing much noteworthy happened. 

Snore...Snore....Snore

Feng Long was already fast asleep, Shen Wang however sat at the opening of the mountain's cave looking onto the expanse. 

Myriad stars were scattered throught the sky giving off their gentle lights, illuminating the dark expanse below, slightly. 

Inventory

Enchanted Golden Apple

Shen Wang crunched onto the golden apple in his hands and threw the leftovers out of the mountain. 

Xia...Hu... Xiaa.... Huu.... Xiaaa.... Huuuu 

Shen Wang's breath became deeper and stronger as he began supplying his spiritual energy into the beast's hide. 

Similar to before, a lotus figure condensed before him as he began the Vital Lotus Breathwork. 

Shen Wang's weakness had already faded away. 

After all with his regenerative effect, he had long replenished the blood that his body had lost. 

However, to prevent Feng Long from birthing any suspicions he had purposefully waited before Feng Long fell asleep to start cultivating the breathwork.

This time, Shen Wang directly poured at least a couple of litres of blood onto the Vital Lotus Projection. 

The blood coagulated in the lotus, 

Shen Wang poured in his spiritual qi and stirred conflict between the blood and qi. 

Blood condensed and was reduced to 9 times of it's original volume. 

And finally, Shen Wang assimilated the 222.222 millitres of blood back into his own body. 

REGENERATION! ENCHANTED GOLDEN APPLE

In about thirty minutes, Shen Wang's body had almost completely recovered to it's normal condition. 

Vital Lotus Breathwork!

Regeneration! 

Enchanted Golden Apple! 

Portion of Instant health II !

Shen Wang crazily started to re-inact the breathwork cycle and his body started to acculmulate more and more Vital Lotus Blood. 

9 hours later, 

The Sun's rays permeated into the mountain cave as Shen Wang finally went to sleep. 

He had cultivated Vital Lotus Breathwork all night, by now, he had gathered over 1 Litre of Vital Lotus Blood into his body. 

An average human being had about 5 litres of blood, although the same couldn't be said about cultivators. 

Each cultivator was unique, they had their own trump cards and techniques to follow. 

Thus it was pointless to form a biased opinion about any cultivator. 

But nonetheless, Shen Wang had made great progress. 

Although his cheat commands didn't help much in his spiritual cultivation, their aid towards his body's cultivation was immense. 

Just the effect of regeneration was immense and enough to make many jealous. 

Shen Wang smiled and felt great over the progress that he had made.

It was a feeling of having achieved something, the dopamine release itself gave Shen Wang a sense of gratification as his eyelids closed into a deep sleep.
