Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 346 If one is missing, we have to fill it up!
"Li Ye, are you willing to join my Holy Sect?"

Although the envoy asked this question, even with a smile on his face, his previous show of authority and his irrefutable tone clearly left Li Ye no room for choice.

Li Ye frowned slightly, "Senior, don't you mind that I killed Kong Xing?"

He dared to ask this directly, which meant he had some confidence.

He had anticipated what would happen today, ever since he killed Kong Xing and learned of the existence of Yanshen Sect.

It can even be said that we are always prepared for this.

Although it seemed that he had easily suppressed the spirit and soul of the messenger just now, in fact, he had never used the method of sealing the physical body and the Heavenly Craftsmanship Puppetry Technique to stabilize the foundation of the spirit and soul from beginning to end.

If this person really wanted to kill him, he could completely block his own soul for a short period of time to resist this person's means and use the Great Yin-Yang Qingmu Divine Thunder to directly blow Xue Chou and this person's soul to pieces!

Judging from the fact that he came with a possessed soul, this person's real body most likely did not come with him. It would not be too late to escape after killing his soul.

However, the power of the Yanshen Sect is like an underwater iceberg, which is really hard to grasp. Even if this person really comes here as a soul, there is still a huge force behind him. Dealing with it will not really solve the problem.

Until his own cultivation and combat power can truly give him enough confidence, Li Ye will never rashly become an enemy unless it is absolutely necessary.

But even if it was just pretense, he still had to ask a few more questions before making a decision.

"Why don't I care? Shouldn't you have heard it from that loser Kong Xing?"

The messenger asked back with a mysterious smile.

"Anyone who practices the Thousand Thoughts Divine Art can become a member of our Holy Sect, and the Holy Sect will not restrict you from fighting freely... If more people with profound cultivation can truly transform from you, it will be something that our Holy Sect will be happy to see!"

"Since he's dead and you're still alive, and you've used him as nourishment to further your career, you're naturally worthy of being recruited by me personally!"

Seeing this person's smile, Li Ye's heart trembled.
"I see... then may I ask you one more question. What exactly does Senior want me to do on his behalf?"

"This is simple!"

The envoy seemed to be in a good mood for conversation. "Since we're missing a true disciple from a major sect, we naturally need to fill the gap!"

"With your attainments in all arts, you are truly unique in my life. With such skills, you will be treated favorably by any major sect!"

"Although you may not be able to gain their trust at the beginning, the convenience of the Thousand Thoughts Divine Art will be enough for you to gradually gain the right to speak within the sect. Then you will be of some use!"

Li Ye listened carefully and felt something was wrong.

If it is true that if one person is missing, we can fill in another one as he said, then we will have to plan and manage the business by looking for him to join.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just find a cultivator with great potential in his sect, teach him the Thousand Thoughts Divine Art, and let him practice it, and then recruit him into the Holy Sect?
After all, most cultivators would probably be tempted when seeing such a miraculous skill as the Thousand Thoughts Divine Art. Moreover, the speed of cultivation is not slow if one has a solid foundation in cultivation, so there is no need to worry that others will throw it aside.

Unless this person values something else about himself!
As soon as his thoughts turned, Li Ye thought of his fame and attainments in various arts that had just been mentioned by this person.

But if that is the case, why should he go to the southern border countries to join the big clan? Wouldn't it be easier to control him if he stayed in these four countries?

Perhaps they are planning something, which can only be carried out after he joins the group and displays his accomplishments in various arts!

Thinking of this, he tried to ask:
"It is an honor for a country cultivator like Li Ye to serve the Holy Sect!"

"However, I am currently at the critical stage of my cultivation. Traveling to join the various sects in Southern Border might damage my cultivation. I wonder if Senior could give me some time to complete my cultivation before I can travel?"

He looked extremely sincere, and his words were not false at all.

He had originally intended to travel to the Southern Border countries to help the Sky Realm Tree advance to the fourth stage, completing the remaining solidification feedback and truly elevating his spiritual roots to the level of Heavenly Spiritual Roots. However, his natal puppet was still quite far from reaching the fourth stage.

Although the materials obtained in the Tiangong Hall are abundant, there is nothing suitable for the fourth level. Only with the help of the Tiangong Sutra can they be upgraded to the quasi-fourth level and have some combat power.

Although his vigorous and diligent body training had made rapid progress, he was still in the arduous process of polishing his body and increasing his Qi and blood. Even if he had sufficient resources, it would still take many years to break through to the fourth level.

At this time, he would not feel safe enough if he went to the southern border countries, even if he just joined a Yuanying sect and lay in wait.

What's more, if the Yanshen Sect ordered him to do something dangerous, he would not have enough trump cards. Not to mention resisting, he would be really tricked and would not even have the strength to protect himself and run away. This was very inconsistent with his usual style of doing things.

If there really is no room for maneuver, then he... will have no choice but to agree first!
After all, this is not a dead end, and it will not force Li Ye to become an enemy of Yanshen Sect.

No matter which field he went to, he could still farm. Even if he was leaving, the spiritual herbs he had grown over the years and harvested would be enough to supply Li Ye with his cultivation needs for a long time.

After joining the big sect, it would take him at least several decades to gain a firm foothold in the Yanshen Sect before he could plan anything.

With this much time, he can complete the breakthrough in body refining. In addition, with the help of large amounts of resources, the refining and promotion of his own natal puppet may also be much easier.

As long as he can achieve one of these two things, he will have some ability to protect himself. If both are achieved, the foundation of his soul can be easily changed, and he can get rid of the stigma of the Thousand Thoughts Divine Art. Then, no matter what plans the Divine Yan Sect has, he can adapt to them and will no longer be at their mercy!

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Li Ye's mind, but his face still showed sincerity.

Hearing this, the messenger frowned.

This guy is really out of his mind to negotiate with him again and again. Does he really think he is of special value and has someone to rely on?
But when he thought about the plans within the sect and the conditions for approaching that object, he calculated the time and nodded coldly:
"Thirty years!"

"Within thirty years, you must journey to the Southern Border Immortal Cultivation Realm and join the Yaohua Sect, becoming an elder of their Baiyi Pavilion... Otherwise, the day I return, I will devour your soul!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly snapped his fingers and a shadow flew straight towards Li Ye.

Li Ye wanted to stop it, but with the power of the Wood God Cauldron and the appearance of the Green Wood Divine Light, it strangely passed through his body and turned into a brand.

"With this mark, you now have a channel of communication with me... and if you harbor other thoughts, it can also cause your soul to become unstable and self-destructive at any time!"

Li Ye's expression was grim, but he still replied rationally, "Thank you for the leniency, envoy. Li Ye will be there on time!"

Seeing his attitude, the messenger nodded in satisfaction, "You should hone your skills well. They will be of great use in the future!"

After saying this, he signaled Li Ye to open the formation, then floated away.

Li Ye watched the man go away, then went straight back to the cave.

Sitting cross-legged, he carefully felt the mark left on his hand, and his expression returned to calm.

Things of this nature can be destroyed in an instant in front of the Great Yin-Yang Green Wood Divine Thunder. They are not a constraint to him at all. He was just performing for that person to see.

What really frightened him was the power of Yanshen Sect!
The Qiannian Yanshen Jue helped him a lot, and he did not regret practicing this skill, but he needed to find a way to break free from the restraints.

"Thirty years..."

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he murmured softly, "It's getting urgent!"

Today, this person and the Yanshen Sect behind him have ruined his peaceful days of farming and cultivation. When he achieves success in cultivation, he will definitely repay them one by one!
