Symbiotic panel, I am cultivating immortality in the world of immortality

Chapter 204 Nascent Soul Turns to Ashes, Ashes of Calamity Become Fertilizer
"So you're saying he just surrendered to you like that?"

"..."

After hearing Li Ye's explanation, the third senior brother gave Yang Sha, who was standing behind him, a deep look and said helplessly, "If that's how it is, then so be it."

If it were someone else, he might have investigated further, but since it was his junior brother, it was indeed quite normal.

They were not only willing to sacrifice themselves to absorb the resentment, but also expended so much merit to resist the lightning tribulation, so that this land could be spared from being harmed by the tribulation energy.

Cultivating supernatural powers allows one to give back to heaven and earth.

It is only natural that we are able to get such an opportunity.

Even they still believe that "good people are rewarded".

Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this matter involved his senior brother, who had asked him not to spread it. If his third senior brother were to dig deeper, it would really be a bit troublesome.

"Then let's..." Li Ye was about to mention the jade flowers when he suddenly felt an extremely intense gaze upon him.

He quickly turned around and found that it was Fellow Daoist Feng Yue of the Dangkang Clan. However, this fellow Daoist did not seem to be a pure-blooded Dangkang, and the panel did not work.

Feng Yue smiled and said to Li Ye, "If you are interested after this matter is settled, I can help you find a few clansmen whose bloodlines are not yet fully developed and whose intelligence has not been fully awakened."

"We, the Kang clan, will be your great help in ensuring a bountiful harvest."

Those "allocated" in this way are those whose intelligence is not particularly outstanding and who cannot transform into human form, just like those few stingrays before. Although the panel can take effect, they are not pure blood.

Their intelligence is at most at the level of a child, and their future achievements are also very limited.

After all, those who can truly cultivate and learn various bloodline supernatural abilities are treasures of their respective races, so they wouldn't be sent out so casually.

That's why Li Ye didn't put too much effort into them—as a dignified Spirit Leaf True Person, he only wanted the best, pure-blooded mountain and sea spirit beasts.

So he simply refused, saying, "There's no need to trouble Fellow Daoist Feng. I will find a way to get the real help from Dang Kang. At that time, I'm afraid even you won't refuse."

To everyone's surprise, these words made Feng Yue's eyes light up even more. She nodded and said, "Then I will definitely compete with all my brothers and sisters to get this opportunity."

"..."

Is this person mentally ill?

If you have a problem, go see a Taoist doctor; I don't know how to cure diseases.

He decided to stay away from the other person.

Li Ye smiled politely, then pointed to the jade flower on the ground that looked like an orchid and said, "This is a life jade flower born from the treasures that the Jade Dragon Spirit Vein and I gave birth to after helping the land overcome its tribulation."

“These spiritual flowers have a peculiar connection; the spiritual power of the Jade Dragon Spiritual Vein can be transferred between any of them.”

"Look, like this."

He waved to the flowers.

The spiritual energy on the surface of these jade flowers flickered, then gathered in one flower and sprayed directly at Li Ye. The sheer number of these energy particles even condensed into a milky white spiritual liquid.

The spiritual energy beneath the jade flower had also clearly disappeared.

"Space magic?"

"There are quite a few spiritual plants in the sect that can transmit spiritual energy remotely, but there is always some loss during the transmission process. How come this spiritual plant has not suffered any loss at all?"

“No, I sensed a disturbance in fortune and destiny. These spiritual flowers may seem to be individual entities, but in reality, they should be of one mind, which is why they can be passed on so easily.”

The group consisted of well-informed Golden Core cultivators, and even though this item was extremely rare and only appeared in some ancient books, they immediately recognized its function.

That's right.

This is not a spiritual plant that has never appeared in the world and was conceived by Li Ye's power.

It can be considered one of the rewards from Heaven after passing through the "light earth tribulation of destiny". This special spiritual power can combine with any kind of spiritual vein and change into different forms.

The Jade Dragon Spirit Vein is the "Life Jade Flower".

However, it actually belongs to the category of spiritual plants called "Earthly Fate Flower".

"With this, we won't need to go to such lengths to build the market's ley lines, but before that..."

Li Ye opened his palm.

The Mica Scorpion crawled out and recounted everything it knew about how the Cloud Spirit Sect colluded with the Hell Path and how they managed to pull off such a major event without anyone noticing.

Everyone looked at each other.

Their eyes blazed with barely suppressed rage.

"Ha, a small sect dares to provoke us like this."

Yan Sihuo of the Bifang clan sneered. Although her red robe was as red as fire, her aura was now icy cold. Without saying a word, she turned and left.

"What are you waiting for? Destroy the sect!"

"I'll leave this place to Fellow Daoist Yang Sha."

Even if the scorpion hadn't explained things in such detail, the Yunji Sect would have had no choice but to be destroyed.

As for the evidence?

Evidence can always be found after a sect is destroyed.

……

The group crossed the border between the Eastern and Northern Regions with great momentum.

Although the border looks desolate, it is actually covered by an extremely terrifying array. It can only be entered and exited through the outposts. If you try to force your way through the border, you will only die.

——But that was in the past.

They discovered a spatial passage at the border, which, like a rat hole, pierced through the boundaries set up by the ancestors and allowed free passage.

Li Ye stood in front of the mouse hole and looked at it again and again.

Surprisingly, I felt a sacred aura emanating from this rat hole.

With his current knowledge, he couldn't tell what kind of rat demon had dug the hole, but it was truly peculiar that this thing could penetrate the border's magic array.

"Senior brother, fellow Daoists, do you know what kind of rat demon dug this hole?" he asked.

“It’s the Golden-haired Rat of Trapped Sky Mountain,” Feng Yue replied. “This kind of rat is extremely special. It is said that it can come and go freely even in Buddhist temples and scenic spots where demons and monsters cannot approach.”

I never imagined they still existed in this world.

The third senior brother chimed in, "This kind of rat is indeed very peculiar. Speaking of which, rats have always seemed to be strange. Whether it's our Taoist temple or the Buddhist temples, there are always rats."

Hearing this, Li Ye became even more curious.

He really wanted to keep a golden rat that could move freely in and out of the scenic spots of Foshan and dig such burrows.

"It would be great if we could catch one."

He was quite moved, completely unaware that the glass bracelet on his wrist flickered slightly after he said those words.

"It's not that easy." The third senior brother shook his head with a wry smile: "The cave here can only be cleaned up by the Nascent Soul stage uncles. But with this cave here, we can prevent this kind of thing from happening again in the future."

"Let's go."

"We also need to destroy the entire sect."

He said this so casually, as if he was no longer angry.

In his view, Yunjizong was already dead, so why get angry with a dead person?
The group crossed the border.

They quickly entered the Forging Spirit Sect's outpost.

A female cultivator, as imposing as an iron tower, was already waiting there. Upon seeing the group from the Four Seasons Sect, she calmly stepped forward to greet them.

"Fellow Daoists."

"I am Duan Jiurui from the Spirit Forging Sect."

"The Yunji Sect has been brought under control by our Nascent Soul senior uncle. Do you fellow Daoists intend to take action yourselves?"

After taking control of the Yunji Sect, they had already investigated and found that they were indeed connected with the Hell Path. If they weren't left to be used for revenge by the Four Seasons Sect, they would probably have already cleaned up the battlefield by now.

Third Senior Brother Chen Mo stepped forward and said, "Of course."

He stared at Duan Jiurui, his tone extremely serious: "The border is a place prone to trouble, yet your sect has failed to manage the sects below you. You must give us an explanation for this matter!"

Duan Jiurui sighed silently in her heart.

This is indeed due to their lax discipline.

Moreover, to be honest, if it weren't for the timely news from the Four Seasons Sect, if the Cloud Spirit Sect had actually caused something that would have angered both heaven and man, the consequences would probably have been far more severe than simply holding them accountable.

Her expression turned serious: "I won't say anything more. What's done is done. I will visit you fellow Daoists in a while and convey the sincerity of our Spirit Forging Sect."

The third senior brother waved his hand: "Sincerity is a small matter. I'm just wondering..." He squinted at Duan Jiurui: "Is the Yunji Sect really just an isolated case? Are they the only ones who are colluding with the Hell Path?"

"..."

no answer.

Duan Jiurui simply extended her hand: "The Yunji Sect has two Nascent Soul Real Persons and thirty-two Golden Core Real Persons. Do you fellow Daoists need our help?"

This attempt to change the subject demonstrates that it's definitely not just the Yunji sect.

If it were only the Yunji Sect, how could she possibly allow the Sishi Sect to "ruin" the reputation of their subordinates like this?

You must know that the sect's reputation is of paramount importance.

The third senior brother knew that this matter couldn't be discussed any further, so he changed the subject and asked, "Two Nascent Soul cultivators, a few friends, who is willing to deal with them?"

"Of course it's me!"

At this moment, Li Yuan's eyes began to flash with a sharp golden light, and his pupils became increasingly deep.

Nascent Soul?

What do they have to fear if they're not Nascent Soul cultivators from a dominant sect?

Anyone who hasn't killed a Nascent Soul cultivator when they're at the Golden Core stage wouldn't be able to talk to people properly.

His belligerent demeanor seemed perfectly normal to the others, but to their surprise, Li Ye also spoke up:

"Count me in, senior brother."

Ying Ying and Yan Sihuo, who were originally eager to try, were stunned.

real or fake?

Lingye Zhenren only recently broke through to the Golden Core stage, yet he's already going to fight the Nascent Soul stage? That doesn't seem right.

The third senior brother gave Li Ye a deep look and did not question him: "Then go. It doesn't matter if you can't win. I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Ying and Fellow Daoist Yan to help my junior brother."

"Fellow Daoist Feng, although Fellow Daoist Xuan has not yet arrived, I entrust the ley lines of the Demon-Suppressing Tree to you."

"Everyone, everyone involved in this matter, must be planted in the Demon-Suppressing Tree!"

The others naturally had no objections and nodded in agreement. Soon they arrived at the mountain gate of the Yunji Sect, which was surrounded by an array.

It must be said that the Yunji Sect's mountain gate does indeed possess a rather celestial aura.

Dozens of mountain ranges surround a cloud-shrouded peak, where pavilions and towers can be clearly seen floating in mid-air. The peak is also filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs, and one can also see mythical beasts such as cranes and deer leisurely strolling around.

There was no one there.

Or rather, everyone has already hidden inside the sect's protective formation.

Only two elderly men with white hair and beards stood in mid-air, looking up at the sky without fear, at the sky that was surrounded by the Spirit Forging Sect's formation and was as dark as a well.

Suddenly, the formation dispersed, creating a path.

Several members of the Four Seasons Sect slowly walked over.

One of the old men laughed instead: "Fellow Daoists of the Four Seasons Sect, it's pointless for us to say anything more now, and you don't need any evidence."

Even though we made a mistake, it won't be easy for you to take our lives.

I just don't know about the Golden Elixir, which is revered as the supreme elixir of the four seasons.

Will they also cry out and bleed?

Another old man took out his pagoda magic weapon, threw it, and it enveloped the group.

"Old man!"

Li Yuan, his body engulfed in golden flames, clenched his fist, his face flashing with excited fighting spirit. Behind him appeared a tiger tail like a steel whip, and fluffy ears sprouted from his head.

The knuckle duster on his hand gleamed, and without saying a word, he threw a punch.

"Crack!"

The space itself shattered, and he faced the pagoda head-on, engaging in a fierce battle with the Nascent Soul in mid-air. In an instant, the pagoda shone brightly with magical light.

The old man in linen clothes who spoke first seemed not to be surprised at all.

He glanced at the group of people who hadn't moved, lingering for a moment on Chen Mo, Ying Ying, and Yan Sihou, a slight smile playing on his lips: "My junior brother has already gone, but I wonder who among you will come to my rescue?"

"I."

Li Ye took a step forward.

His face was smiling, and it seemed to sparkle in the sunlight streaming down from the sky.

"...You?" The old man in linen clothes was first surprised, then angrily said, "Master Lingye, how long have you been a Golden Core cultivator?"
"So you think you can use me as a whetstone just because you're immortal?"

If it were one of those renowned Golden Core cultivators, he could barely accept it. But Li Ye is only a Golden Core cultivator, how dare he challenge him, a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages?

These are the chosen ones of the great sects!

It's so deceiving!

He had been calm just moments before, but now his mind was boiling with furious killing intent mixed with spiritual energy, creating a whirlwind around him that made his robes flutter wildly.

A radiant light shone around Li Ye.

The outstretched willow branches and the branches of the Jianmu tree blocked everything.

He raised his head, his eyes still calm: "Do you know what the Calamity Fire is?"

"You old scoundrel, karma will get you."

The old man was stunned.

Then he saw a cluster of dazzling flames rushing towards him.

Everything—the storm of spiritual energy, the magical artifacts he held in front of him, and even the space itself—trembled and burned to ashes in the flames of calamity.

not good!

A raging inferno!

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would die a terrible death if tainted by the Calamity Flame.

The old man desperately mobilized his magical power. Logically speaking, the vast Nascent Soul magical power seemed to be adding fuel to the tribulation fire, making it burn even more fiercely.

But he also keenly noticed that the willow branches and Jianmu tree branches on Li Ye's body were also burning.

As expected, using the Calamity Fire comes at a price!
It hurts both the person and the other!

Seeing this, he was actually quite excited.

Even if I die, it would be worth it to be able to take Lingye Zhenren of the Four Seasons Sect with me, right?
Thinking about it this way made him even more excited.

He used all his magical power to resist the calamity fire, just to buy time.

Time just passes slowly.

His consciousness grew increasingly blurred as the flames of the calamity burned.

The raging, boiling flames of calamity had already engulfed the space within a thousand miles, and even the sun in the sky could not rival its brilliance.

Li Ye remained silently watching him, her clear pupils reflecting his burning agony. It was at this moment that he realized...

Even though they were both cultivators, and even though there was a difference between the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages, he still couldn't defeat Li Ye.

Because from the very beginning, when he chose to drag Li Ye down, he had already lost.

"Hahaha!"

The Nascent Soul in hemp clothing laughed heartily, tears streaming down its face, before turning to ashes in the flames of calamity.
"So, I was definitely going to lose."

He gathered all his magical power, and then—boom!

Countless pieces of flesh and blood, along with storms of spiritual energy, even overwhelmed the calamity fire, sweeping around the area. Upon seeing this, the third senior brother had already grasped the banana leaf fan in his hand, but still did not step forward.

He saw Li Ye surrounded by a bronze glow, slowly walking to the spot where the old man had been standing, and dropping a seed from a demon-suppressing tree.

The calamity fire returned to his body like rivers flowing into the sea, leaving only the ashes of the calamity enveloping the old man's remains. The roots of the Demon-Suppressing Tree pierced into these remains, taking root and sprouting in mid-air.

It quickly grew into a towering tree.

then.

The radiance emanating from Li Ye dissipated, his breath grew weak, and he plummeted straight down.
