Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 345 Uninvited Guest

With [Condensing Evil], all the evil energy in the world can be used as nourishment for Li Ye's practice.

This high-quality dragon evil became an excellent treasure for body refining that he collected and refined regularly.

Unconsciously, Li Ye's physical aptitude not only became extremely gifted due to the continuous baptism of many items and the [Spiritual Essence of the Void Realm], but even the accumulation of many cultivation items mostly tended to be required for physical refining.

Most of the spiritual plants planted in the spiritual field are used as nourishment for body refining. After obtaining the relics left in the Tiangong Hall, they can now use evil spirits to refine the body.

As far as the opportunity of cultivation is concerned, Li Ye seems to have mostly focused on the path of body refining.

He was forced to push himself towards becoming a peerless physical cultivator from all aspects.

He was quite pleased with this and was glad to seize the opportunity.

After knowing that there were pitfalls in Qiannian Yanshen Jue, he did not continue to practice it. Instead, he delved into the Tiangong Sutra and returned to the path of refining his own natal puppet to feedback the Tiangong puppet control technique to improve his own spiritual awareness.

In this way, the effort required will be much less, and all the extra energy and time can be invested in body training.

The conditions were so good that even though he had just broken through to the late third stage, Li Ye's improvement speed did not stagnate at all. Instead, it was like galloping forward, and his physical strength increased rapidly.

He practiced like this for more than ten years, and later the Mingyang Crystal Grass that he had planted and cultivated separately also completed the feedback of the entry, which helped Li Ye upgrade the [Positive] entry to level three, thus completing the puzzle of level three [Balance].

As Li Ye's understanding of the balance and mutual assistance of yin and yang deepened, his body's instinct to balance various forces also reached a new level.

His method of cultivating the dragon and tiger spirit from the bodies of all beasts, and now cultivating the dragon and tiger Dharma bodies to lay the foundation of his physical strength, has been further improved.

Although it has not yet broken away from the foundation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Body, it is gradually adjusting to become more in line with Li Ye's own personality, and has a higher artistic conception, thus beginning to transform into a fourth-level technique.

For Li Ye, it is naturally not something that can be achieved overnight by gradually improving one's body instincts and then deducing and perfecting higher-level skills.

However, as his cultivation level gradually improves, when he truly breaks through to the fourth level, this technique will naturally complete the corresponding subsequent chapters.

The feedback is so intuitive and clear that almost every time he practices, he can feel that he is one step closer to the fourth level. This body training is really refreshing for Li Ye, and he is unable to extricate himself from it.

However, after continuing for more than ten years, such a stable practice life was interrupted by an uninvited guest who suddenly came to the door.

Looking at Xue Chou, who looked familiar, perhaps even a little older and increasingly decadent, Li Ye stood in the formation, with many means ready to use, not letting him get close at all.

Xue Chou saw Li Ye's attitude but didn't care. He just laughed and said:

"Friend Li, we've been friends for many years, and I've done a lot to help you with everything you need. Why are you refusing to even let me through the mountain gate today?"

"If it was really Fellow Daoist Xue, I wouldn't be so defensive..."

Li Ye asked expressionlessly, "But you, fellow Daoist?"

"You saw it so easily!"

After taking a closer look at Li Ye, "Xue Chou" suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was so hearty as if he found it extremely interesting, and his voice gradually changed as he laughed.

It becomes impossible to distinguish between men and women, young and old, and it becomes psychedelic and strange, naturally carrying a bit of confusion in the mind.

Li Ye watched him laugh so recklessly, but he didn't act rashly. He simply sealed his own soul and quickly used the formation to detect the group of cultivators in the mountain.

The moment he discovered that something was wrong with this person, he sealed off the surroundings with a large formation, blocking outsiders from prying eyes. No matter what this person did, it would not affect the many cultivators outside.

But... who knows if this person made any other preparations before coming to see me so brazenly?
He was able to possess and control Xue Chou so easily. His attainment in the Thousand Thoughts Divine Art was probably even higher than that of Kong Xing!

If he used his mind to control the monks in Pingyang Mountain, Li Ye really couldn't guarantee that he could discover it before the [Induction] was triggered.

Seeing Li Ye's calm reaction, "Xue Chou"'s laughter gradually subsided, and then the smile faded and became a little colder.

"Judging from your consciousness, I think your Thousand Thoughts Divine Art must have been achieved after you swallowed Kong Xing..."

"How ridiculous! A true disciple of a great Nascent Soul sect came all the way here, yet despite all his efforts, he still couldn't defeat you, a country cultivator who rose from the barren lands of the Four Kingdoms..."

"My Holy Sect had such high hopes for him before, and even regarded him as a potential seed that could take over the Evergreen Sect with our support... We really overestimated him!"

Li Ye listened indifferently, "What exactly do you want to say, fellow Daoist? You also went to such great lengths to possess fellow Daoist Xue. Could it be that you are here for this spirit of mine, Li?"

"Come for your soul? Hahahaha!"

Xue Chou was immediately amused, "Your spirit is just a snack, this envoy doesn't care about it!"

As soon as he said this, a cold and dim light suddenly appeared in his eyes, which was a change derived from the continuous swirling shadows.

Just looking at Li Ye like this was like two abysses with countless terrifying mouths opened wide, instantly triggering the mark of the Thousand Thoughts Divine Art in Li Ye's soul, capturing his mind and soul.

It seemed as if he could easily pull it all out of his body, hold it in his hands and play with it at will!
Li Ye's expression was ferocious, with a dim light in his eyes as he fought back desperately. However, compared to "Xue Chou" who seemed to be doing it with ease, it seemed that he could not hold on for long.

The souls that were split from his own soul were even sealed, and they were ready to move under such means, almost falling into the trap.

Hua Hua Hua——

The formation surged, the void was turbulent and completely blocked, countless different plants gathered together and evolved into different attacks to pounce on "Xue Chou", the blue clouds in the sky rolled, and in a moment a large amount of divine thunder fell like rain, densely covering it.

After watching the changes in the formation with slight appreciation, "Xue Chou" raised his hand and his magic power was activated, mixed with thick dark light, and countless dark shadows flew out and flowed around to protect him.

No matter how the divine thunder bombarded it from outside and how the plants and trees used their magical powers, they only made it sway. It seemed to be on the verge of collapse, but shadows kept flying out to replenish it, and it was impossible to see its depth at all.

However, his power of suppressing and absorbing Li Ye's soul never weakened from beginning to end, and even grew slightly, and he was about to suck his soul out.

But at this moment, the messenger suddenly withdrew his hand, "Enough!"

Li Ye's soul relaxed, his sea of consciousness was shaken, and seeing the situation, he stopped the evolution of the formation and withdrew its power.

The messenger looked at Li Ye's bloodshot face, with blood oozing out of his seven orifices, and smiled faintly.
"Do you understand now? The life and death of a cultivator like you is just a matter of my thoughts. If I wanted to kill you, why would I bother to tell you so much?"

"Then why did you come here, senior?" Li Ye asked, panting.

The messenger smiled and said, "Since you killed Kong Xing, a promising disciple of the Grand Sect, you will have to continue to work for our Holy Sect in his place... Li Ye, are you willing to join our Holy Sect?"
