Chapter 175 Replenishing One's Own Five-Colored Stones

The colorful radiance—was it a stone, or did it fall from the sky?
Overjoyed, Li Ye trembled slightly. Could this be the legendary five-colored stone, the one Nuwa used to mend the sky?!
— He had previously heard of a wild idea that mending the sky could also be considered a form of construction, since the goddess Nuwa not only mended the sky but also used tortoise feet as pillars.

This level of "construction" supernatural power.

He took a deep breath and immediately picked up the five-colored stone in his hand.

It is scalding hot to the touch.

Even his body, which had been nourished by countless life forms and forged by the bronze water of the Sword Bone Pool, could not withstand it and almost dropped the stone.

"hiss……"

But the five-colored stone actually fused into his flesh and blood. When he looked at it, half of it was still sticking out of his finger. In the blink of an eye, only his fair and slender finger was left.

"what?"

He almost doubted that the hand was his own, because he even moved it a little.

The result was that the fingers were as flexible as ever—except that they seemed to have "grown" a little bit, and when probed with spiritual power, they were no different from the rest of the body.

This made his heart, which had just calmed down from the excitement, pound again; his spiritual power indeed could not detect the condition of the five-colored stone.

Therefore, he used the Jianmu tree.

The branches of the Jianmu tree extend in this direction through the meridians.

There seemed to be a very faint "pop" sound, and the five-colored stone was pushed out from his fingertip, and his finger returned to its original length.

"It really was the five-colored stone that made my finger extend?"

He stared at the stone, still thinking, but suddenly realized that the five-colored stone was showing signs of merging into the earth. He quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and picked up the five-colored stone again.

He then threw the five-colored stones into the Jianmu tree, where they were enveloped by various spiritual energies and suspended in mid-air.

Then he discovered that the five-colored stone was melting again, changing itself according to the changes in the spirit ball, and its spirit structure was becoming more and more similar to the spirit ball.

It can blend into everything.

So amazing... and so on.

Li Ye directed his divine sense toward the top of the Jianmu World, to the area that constantly shimmered with the unique multicolored light of the panel.

Are they all five-colored? Are they related?
His heart was pounding like never before, and he was so nervous that sweat was pouring down his face like a stream.

He tried to draw out a ray of light to envelop the multicolored stone.

But the five-colored stone stopped mimicking the changes in spiritual energy and remained motionless in the ripples of the same five-colored light.

"..."

He felt it was a bit of a pity that this result came about.

—If only the light from the panel could truly merge with the five-colored stones!

Fortunately, he wasn't the type to be easily swayed by gains and losses.

This failure didn't mean the Five-Colored Stone was useless. Li Ye then made several more attempts, touching each of his personal items with the Five-Colored Stone.

The result is: all are possible.

From spiritual plants and beasts to seeds and materials, even scrolls and the bronze branches of his Jianmu tree can be fused together.

This characteristic...

Could it be because this is the very thing that Goddess Nuwa used to mend the sky? If it could mend the sky, then it would make sense if it could merge all things in the universe—and after mending the sky, it was indeed no different from before.

The reason we can't interact with the panel is because the panel isn't from this world.
what about me?
Li Ye suddenly realized a very serious problem: he had transmigrated, and his soul should not belong to this world. This had always been his hidden worry.

If you really encounter such a super powerful being, would you be able to tell at a glance that he is an "extraterrestrial demon"?
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath.

With a light step, the ground immediately collapsed, creating a hole. He went straight into the depths of the earth and then restored the land.

He had explored the earth, but his divine sense could not penetrate it. This was the safest place, because he was going to try to separate his soul from his body and touch the five-colored stone with his soul.

Li Ye sat cross-legged in the dark cave, his hands forming a mudra.

Fortunately, he now possessed magical power and divine sense comparable to those of a Golden Core cultivator, and with the help of the Four Seasons Sect's secret techniques, he felt a lightness in his body in no time.

A golden human figure emerged from the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head.

In fact, this is quite dangerous. According to the secret techniques of the Four Seasons Sect, one can only begin to use the great power of the Golden Core to gradually transform the soul into the primordial spirit once one reaches the Golden Core stage.

It's actually a bit dangerous now.

However, when he came out, he found that... it wasn't so difficult, and it was even quite pleasant.

The light of merit he received gently protected his soul, and he did not even experience the discomfort of his soul leaving his body.

He even had the leisure to look at himself sitting upright.

This body, identical to his previous one, had been forged quite well. Even with his eyes closed, his radiant spirit remained undiminished, exuding a captivating and gentle beauty.

"This looks much better than looking in the mirror."

Li Ye nodded in satisfaction.

But he didn't linger. Instead, he immediately reached out and touched the five-colored stone that had just been taken from his palm with his translucent fingers, which were wrapped in merit.

The instant it was touched.

The five-colored stone seemed to pause for a moment, then began to melt, forming a five-colored halo under his merit radiance, covering his fingers.

An indescribable feeling of warmth and security, as if he were being embraced by his mother, almost made him groan out loud.

This feeling was fleeting, but he knew very well that the halo formed by the five-colored stones was his "passport" to completely integrate into this world.

Moreover, there seemed to be a very eager consciousness, anticipating his complete integration into this world.

That consciousness vanished in an instant, and even with his perception, he couldn't detect it, only vaguely guessing that it came from the sky.

He remained where he was, pondering whether he should continue searching for the Five-Colored Stone to truly integrate into this world.

Memories of the past echoed in my mind.

From the very beginning, with the Flint Crystal Insects and Silver Moon Grass, to Senior Brother Spirit Vine, Ice Soul Snow Lotus, Beaver, Hungry Bone, Senior Brother Su, Senior Brother Qian, and Master...

These events made him realize that he had long since become accustomed to this place and was inseparable from it.

The answer is obvious.

"Go back first."

He glanced at the soil above his head, as if he could see through it to the distant blue sky, then turned and burrowed into his body.

There seemed to be no change, but after he carefully sensed and examined it, he discovered that his magical power was condensing—that was clearly a sign of condensing liquid into a pill!
Only the magic power of the fingers can be mobilized to condense the golden core.

"Does that mean I need to cover my entire soul with five-colored stones?"

"This is the constraint on my Golden Core?"

In fact, there has always been a saying in the Four Seasons Sect that, simply put, these disciples who are Nascent Soul cultivators enjoy the best resources and methods. Not to mention Golden Core, even Nascent Soul cultivators can basically succeed with a bit of luck.

However, some people feel that it lacks some "hardship".

Those who agree with this view will wander around when they are close to the Golden Core stage, looking for opportunities that can add obstacles to their path to Golden Core formation.

When these constraints are truly broken, the Golden Elixir will become even more perfect, just as a smooth journey always seems somewhat fragile.

"This is truly an unexpected and wonderful outcome."

Li Ye had no intention of creating trouble for himself, but he didn't expect to still encounter constraints, or rather, constraints that he already had. If they were to erupt after he condensed his Golden Core, it would be very troublesome.

"So now I need to find the Five-Colored Stone." He composed himself and left the cave.

As soon as he emerged from the burrow, he saw two people fighting in the distance.

The sudden appearance of Li Ye startled the two of them.

"Wait, fellow Daoist, you're from the Four Seasons Sect, right?"

One of the tall female cultivators' eyes lit up, and she quickly exclaimed, "These are demons who have disguised themselves! They're even from the Silver Frost Wolf Clan of the Demon Royal Court!"

Upon hearing his identity revealed in this way, the silver-haired young cultivator in tight-fitting clothes immediately tried to escape without hesitation.

But with a living demon right before his eyes, how could Li Ye allow him to escape? A flash of golden light appeared beneath his feet, and in the next instant, he was beside the young cultivator, striking out with a palm strike without hesitation—

"boom!"

For a cultivator like Li Ye, who is essentially a practitioner of both physical and magical cultivation, and who has just fused with the Five-Colored Stone and possesses formidable magical power, this is a different story.

With this palm strike, the opponent didn't even grunt before flying a great distance like a rag doll, lying motionless on the ground.

The female cultivators were all stunned.

She nervously approached Li Ye and clasped her hands in greeting: "Senior, I am a cultivator from Tianmai Sword Mountain."

As she spoke, she took out a jade pendant and handed it to Li Ye. The jade pendant had an ordinary long sword pattern on it.

Li Ye glanced at them and nodded: "So you're a fellow Daoist from Heavenly Vein Sword Mountain. By the way, how come there are demons here?"

As he spoke, he walked toward the demon cultivator who lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

"This turmoil at the Heavenly Vein is particularly severe. All the senior masters are busy inside the Heavenly Vein, while we disciples are the only ones out maintaining order."

"Moreover, my senior uncles and elder brothers said that if we let some demons in, we can deal with them openly and fairly."

The female cultivator did not hide anything.

After all, the founders of the Four Seasons Sect and the Heavenly Vein Sword Mountain were practically inseparable, and these sword cultivators, who weren't good at farming, also needed the logistical support of the Four Seasons Sect.

Since everyone has their own needs, the relationship is naturally good.

It's no longer just a simple friendship; it's a more complex and closer relationship.

"Is that so?"

Li Ye nodded and bent down to turn the demon cultivator who was lying on the ground over.

The opponent was indeed seriously injured by his palm strike, and was on the verge of death. His transformed, wild face was covered in bloodstains, his jaw was clenched, and his outstretched limbs were unnaturally twisted.

If he doesn't receive timely treatment, he'll probably die very soon.

"..."

He still couldn't control his power. He never expected that his magic power would become so terrifying after fusing with the five-colored stones. He almost killed a demon cultivator who was about to reach the Golden Core stage with a single palm strike.

Since he still had questions to ask, Li Ye could only extend his hand and unleash a divine power called "Dead Tree Comes Back to Life".

This is a healing technique of the Four Seasons Sect, which infuses life force into the injured person's body. Cultivators are actually quite resilient; they can slowly recover on their own with a little life force, let alone demons.

He stared at the other person, and a panel appeared—

[Name]: Silverfrost Wolf Clan - Frostfi
Mood: None

[Status]: Near death, bones in the body are broken, magic power is flowing backward, and will die completely and return to its original form after about half an incense stick's time.

[Can be bound]: Spirit plants that can emit a fleeting burst of fire.

Are they actually pure demons?
Are all these demon races capable of being bound together?
Li Ye's eyes lit up, and he immediately increased his spiritual energy output.

As the pale green halo slowly spread, Shuang Li's aura gradually stabilized. Judging from the panel, he had already shown signs of "deep grief and indignation," but he was still pretending to be unconscious with his eyes tightly closed.

To be honest, the control panel is indeed very useful.

Without hesitation, Li Ye withdrew the green light that brought the withered tree back to life and pressed her finger on his forehead.

Five chains of different colors, which originated from his fingertips, instantly wrapped around Shuang Li's body. Before he could react, they transformed into a multicolored gemstone and were imprinted between his eyebrows.

Shuang Li jumped up and reluctantly bowed respectfully: "Master."

The voice was low and hoarse, carrying a strong sense of resistance, as if it were being forced out.

The female cultivator next to her stared in disbelief.

Just like that... he subdued a demon? And it was the Silverfrost Wolf Clan, known for its toughest bones?

In fact, Li Ye hadn't expected this thing to be so effective. He could sense the other party's resistance, but it was destroyed by the countless spiritual energies within his magic power—it was as if a beaver was carrying a carp, a turtle, a gourd, or something similar, and it was hammering and beating the other party mercilessly.

Then the Five Elements Spirit Control Technique was successfully completed.

But whatever the outcome, success is all that matters, and if there are even more demons here... hehehe.

Li Ye's eyes lit up, and he said coldly, "I know you're not convinced, but the environment in which the demon race in the Southern Region lives is not good."

How about this.

If you are willing to cooperate with me and completely submit to me, I promise you that you will never lack any cultivation resources until the end of your lifespan.

You should know the reputation of the Four Seasons Sect.

He simply stated the facts, because it was indeed the truth and there was nothing more to say, but it was precisely this simple fact that made Shuang Li's feelings particularly complicated.

This made him feel even more uncomfortable and conflicted than if he were forcibly suppressed with force—this was exactly the effect Li Ye wanted.

Many of the True Immortals within the sect, who have demon clan protectors, have repeatedly mentioned that they shouldn't worry about resources and should just throw them at the problem.

They'll usually agree to anything that makes them feel bad about their life. But once they've been fed and given gifts, they'll gradually be taught a lesson.

This method can only be used by the Four Seasons School.

“I…I am Shuang Li.”

After a fierce internal struggle, Shuang Li quickly realized his situation. If he disagreed, he would probably be beaten to death. He couldn't win a fight, and the other party had prepared a trap to keep him hanging.

Then...

On the demon side, Shuang Li, who was flexible and cunning, immediately said:

“I sensed that my younger brother was in the east, and he was looking for the ruins of the wonder that the Four Seasons Sect had built here.”

Upon hearing this, Li Ye's eyes immediately sharpened.

A marvelous ruin?
Wasn't that area already ruins? Could there still be something there? Impossible, how could the Four Seasons Sect do such shoddy work?

Or are those guys up to something?
Regardless of his reasons, Li Ye decided to go and take a look.

He immediately said to the sword cultivator beside him, "I'll take him over there and check it out. Fellow Daoist, please be careful. Farewell!"

Li Ye grabbed Shuang Li's clothes, and golden light surged beneath his feet, accompanied by Shuang Li's terrified cries of "Ahhh, hoo..."

They disappeared into the distance in an instant.

The sword cultivator's "farewell" was still on his lips, unspoken.

She sighed and was about to leave when she saw a series of celestial fragments falling into the distance from the sky in a strange, ever-changing manner.

It's as if they're intentionally chasing after something.

Looking in that direction, it seems to be exactly the direction Li Ye left in.
