Chapter 262 The Earth Book of the Sui Ke Realm
"..."

"This is indeed too exciting for an ordinary person."

Li Ye rubbed his temples and muttered to himself.

On a desolate snowy night, the courtyard was surrounded by a deserted snow-covered forest, and outside the house, a huge black bear was banging on the door with a ferocious expression.

This would really startle an ordinary person.

But a black bear?
As soon as he had a thought, the panel appeared immediately—

[Name]: Wish-Fulfilling Bear
[Mood]: Manic, hungry

[Status]: A bear from the Sui Ke Realm, tainted by demonic energy.

They possess extreme ferocity in the darkness and are fearless in the face of death.

During the "Winter" season, it will be driven by demonic energy, mimicking human actions and attacking all living things it sees.

"Oh?"

Demonic energy?

He carefully scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that the black bear was shrouded in a familiar yet cold and insane demonic energy.

That demonic energy was... a long time ago, when he lived in Huiya Market, he had seen a similar existence—that white snow demon.

He didn't even have a chance to make a move; the beaver and the flint worm took care of everything.

But the black bear in front of us had an absurdly strong demonic aura.

The demonic energy alone is at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

So, from which world does this thing come? The Sui Ke Realm?

and.

Although Li Ye's power was sealed, Jianmu's faint senses told him that this place was no longer the snow forest he had seen before.

As the inky darkness enveloped him, the surrounding space was distorted, and even his divine sense could not extend too far—the distorted space would sever his divine sense.

The divine sense that could originally cover a radius of hundreds of miles can now only... a few hundred meters around the courtyard.

"interesting."

Is it another world?

Li Ye decided not to sleep and began to consider what cards he could use to deal with the black bear outside.

After all, this door cost him a lot of spirit stones. If it were torn down, it would be very troublesome to repair, and there might be other dangers as well.

The snow mullet ducks seemed to have fallen asleep, or perhaps they had already gotten used to the black bear's presence.

Otherwise, if such a dangerous monster were to approach, they should have already launched a fierce attack.

The pine tree is of no use.

Forget about the small iron pot Tai Sui...

Think about it.

Unless he breaks the seal on his cultivation right now, it seems that the only thing he can use are those few eggs.

Otherwise, with such a terrible "Qi Refining Level 2" cultivation, how could he possibly face a Foundation Establishment stage demonic beast tainted by demonic energy?
"That's all."

"Then give it a try."

"If all else fails, we can just flip the table."

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated. He reached out and took the several gleaming egg trays into his palm.

It is still somewhat difficult to mobilize the power within with the cultivation level of the second stage of Qi Refining, but fortunately, cultivators never rely entirely on brute force.

He took out some spirit stones, set up an array around himself, and then used the branches of the Love Song tree to outline the array patterns, directly drawing the spiritual power of the spirit stones into his body.

In this way, he can use the spiritual power provided by the spirit stone to help him perform supernatural powers.

He tentatively transformed his spiritual power into willow branches and slowly probed them into the eggshell.

A "whoop" sound.

Then, the flames rising from the feathers spread along the willow branches to his fingertips, dancing and swirling around his fair fingers.

This is a very mysterious power.

It wasn't scorching hot, just the warmth of a hot spring bath. It even seemed to carry a faint fragrance of burning wood.

Just at this time--

"Quack quack~" A duck's quack came from the flames.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ye felt the firelight flow from his fingertips into his body, along with a divine power—the divine power belonging to the Snow Phoenix-tailed Duck.

"Qianqing Phoenix Tail?"

What's this name?

Wait, what's going on here?
Li Ye looked surprised and turned around.

At the hem of the Taoist robe, the magnificent phoenix fire had condensed into beautiful tail feathers, trailing on the ground.

Even more outrageous, he could control these tail feathers—with a thought, the tail feathers would sway as if they were his own tail. A flash of light appeared, and flames rose.

"..."

Li Ye wagged its tail again, and after confirming that it was under control, it yanked the door open aggressively.

Just as the black bear was about to pounce, its tail feathers swept across the bear's body with a "whoosh," and the phoenix's flames instantly ignited on the giant bear's body.

"Awooo!" The flames that could purify everything enraged the bear, which went berserk, waving its stinking paws wildly and slapping everything in sight.

While dodging, Li Ye felt the strange sensations transmitted by the supernatural power—he seemed to be able to control the firelight to "purify" something unknown.

such as.

He can choose to burn the entire bear to ashes, or he can control the flames to burn only a part of the bear or a certain spiritual power, so that other parts of the bear are not affected.

So this is the phoenix's idealistic purifying power?
It's truly amazing.

What else can be purified?
That must be demonic energy!
Li Ye directly controlled the flames to burn away the demonic energy on the opponent's body, which was like a bone-deep infection.

The process of burning away demonic energy is even more painful.

The demonic energy desperately tried to penetrate the bear's body, and the firelight followed closely behind, burning even more intensely. In the end, the demonic energy could not escape the grasp of the firelight and was burned away little by little, like a loose thread.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

The bear was in so much pain that it rolled around on the ground and charged around, even knocking down Li Ye's courtyard wall.

Looking at the eerie snow-covered forest outside the collapsed courtyard wall, Li Ye's brow twitched, and he instinctively felt a sense of unease.

It's as if... the once solid "sanctuary" has crumbled.

"We need to resolve this quickly."

Li Ye simply took out the spirit stone, put it in his mouth and chewed it, which drew out the phoenix fire from the second egg and sped up the process.

This time, it didn't take too long.

The wisps of demonic energy were completely burned away by Li Ye.

The previously frenzied bear quieted down, gazing silently at Li Ye, its appearance surprisingly gentle. Suddenly, it spoke in human language: "You must be from beyond the heavens."

"Ah."

Li Ye looked slightly tired and leaned against the door frame, pointing to the collapsed courtyard wall: "Repair my courtyard wall first, then I'll talk to you."

He did not hide his weakness.

But his tail feathers still shone brightly in the snow, and the firelight inside the house illuminated his body, making his skin look like warm jade.

This composure is intimidating.

The bear looked at it, hesitated for a while, and then obediently went to repair the wall. It was extremely strong and directly crushed the broken bricks and stones, then mixed them with its own blood to make mud.

Finally, the wall was reinforced by being drenched in its blood, which quickly solidified in the cold wind, becoming even stronger than before, except for its strange black and red color.

After it was repaired, Li casually tossed out a jujube.

It was said, as if teasing a dog:
"Eat."

The bear held the tiny date in its huge paws, swallowed it whole without even looking at it, its eyes filled with longing.

"Any more?"

Li Ye smiled slightly and sat on the threshold, her jade-colored skin seemingly possessing an indescribable allure.

The bear couldn't help but swallow hard.

It desperately wanted to pounce on Li Ye, tear him to pieces, devour his flesh and blood, chew his bones, and watch him die screaming in agony. But it dared not. This human was clearly far weaker than it, yet it simply dared not. "Tell me, why do you call me an extraterrestrial?"

Li Ye slowly grabbed another handful of dates and gently shook them in his hand.

The bear's eyes followed the date's movements, and its mouth was practically watering.

It wiped its mouth before speaking, "My great-grandfather once encountered an extraterrestrial visitor like you."

"It told my grandfather that if it encountered an extraterrestrial visitor like you, it must take you to a place where humans live."

This way we can get enough food to get through the winter.

"Here...winter never ends."

"So I need lots and lots of food."

This sounded a bit strange, but Li Ye could tell that it wasn't a lie.

In other words... this is very likely the source of the boundless cold air that he saw emanating from the sky earlier.

Why did Master Shenxue specifically arrange for him to come here?
Just at this time.

Suddenly, the sound of people talking came from outside.

There seemed to be quite a few of them, and Li Ye could clearly hear what they were saying:

"Is that bear coming this way?"

"Could there be extraterrestrials in this snowy forest?"

"Hey, isn't there a courtyard up ahead?"

After that last sound rang out, the footsteps in the snow became hurried, finally entering the range that Li Ye's divine sense could cover.

It's a group of people.

A group of humans dressed in clothes made of tanned animal hides and carrying torches appeared to be no different from other humans in appearance. The only problem was that they all possessed cultivation.

The dashing young man at the head of the group was at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

The others were at the second or third level of Qi Refining.

They seemed hesitant as they approached the courtyard, pacing nervously outside. In the end, the spirited young man gritted his teeth.

I stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.

"Fairy!"

This address made Li Ye raise an eyebrow, and he instructed Xiong Pi, "Go open the door."

The bear sensed something was wrong.

I clearly wanted to eat this human, so how come I'm suddenly being bossed around by him?

But after catching the date that Li Ye threw to it, it immediately trotted off to open the door.

The young man outside the door was startled when he saw the bear.

"Demon Bear!"

He took two steps back and reached out to take out the large knife from his back.

Just then, Li Ye's voice came from inside the courtyard:

"come in."

He carried himself with a calm and composed demeanor.

Upon hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up. Although he still watched the bear warily, he moved step by step into the courtyard.

Then, at a glance, he saw Li Ye sitting against the threshold, gentle and refined, with the shimmering tail feathers behind him.

Fairy?

But why is this immortal's cultivation level so low?
He didn't dare to think too much and immediately wanted to kneel down and kowtow.

But Li Ye stopped him, saying, "Why such a grand ceremony? You brought people here because you have something to ask for. Now that you have cleared up my doubts, I will help you fulfill your request."

Upon hearing this, the young man stood up.

He dared not look directly at Li Ye, and said with his head down, "May I ask what doubts you have, Immortal? I will tell you everything I can!"

Li Ye didn't stand on ceremony and immediately voiced his doubts: "How do you know there are immortals here? And I just heard you say that you suspect there are extraterrestrial visitors here."

How did you find out?

This question was within the young man's expectations. He thought for a moment and began to answer Li Ye's doubts.

simply put.

The cultivation civilization in the Sui Ke Realm is not advanced.

The highest level of cultivation is only the Golden Core stage.

Moreover, because their world is shrouded in an eternal winter, it is extremely difficult to grow various food crops, raise spirit beasts, and cultivate spirit plants.

Without the changing seasons, there would be no way to talk about spring planting and autumn harvest.

And one night...

Suddenly, a female immortal, draped in five-colored light and riding on auspicious clouds, who called herself Shenxue, descended from the sky.

The immortal used his great supernatural powers to draw away some of the cold air and also taught them some basic knowledge about farming, such as the four seasons, how to cultivate the land, and how to control spirit beasts...

With the help of this Snow Fairy, they lived a very good life for a time.

Unfortunately, the immortal could not stay long.

Before leaving, she told them that every night, in a certain snow forest, a fairy like her might appear, coming from the celestial realm.

Those immortals will teach them knowledge.

All they had to do was carve a small piece off their "Solar Terms Stele" and hand it over to the immortals.

At this point, the young man took out a jade fragment from his inner clothing and said respectfully, "This is the Heavenly Stele of the Seasonal Terms."

Li Ye looked at the "Solar Terms Stele" and his expression turned strange.

This is hardly a solar term stele.

If it's not clearly defined, then it's just ground writing.

[Title]: Fragment of the Earth Book - Sui Ke Realm

Mood: None

[Status]: A fragment of the Earth Book belonging to the "Sui Ke Realm", which allows a clear and intuitive view of all the spirit beasts/spirit plants/spirit veins/earth veins/souls, etc.

Currently possessing: ...

At this moment, he finally understood why his Uncle Shenxue had sent him here. This Sui Ke Realm was probably the world that Master Miaodu had pioneered back then.

Currently, he is the only one in the entire sect who truly understands the Earth Book. If he can obtain the fragments of the Earth Book, he might even be able to control this land.

It can disregard the limitations of cultivation level.

Holding the Earth Book, one becomes an Earth Immortal.

He thought for a moment, then crunched another spirit stone, and beckoned to the fragment of the Earth Book: "Come here."

The fragments of the ground book flew up instantly.

Like fledglings eagerly returning to their nests, they landed impatiently in Li Ye's palm.

The instant it fell.

The surrounding ground suddenly trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, streaks of celestial light belonging to the Melody of Love appeared on Li Ye's arm, swirling around the tattered pages of the Earth Book.

A warm breeze suddenly blew in from outside.

In the blink of an eye, the ice and snow melted, and all things came back to life—as the wind blew, all the snow in the courtyard disappeared, revealing seedlings struggling to grow and break through the soil.

In just a few breaths, the thick layer of ice and snow melted into a tender green meadow, dotted with some unknown wildflowers.

"Gah?"

Even the Snow White Ducks opened their eyes in surprise. However, they maintained the world constructed by their consciousness, and the crystal-clear pine tree still grew above the courtyard.

It stands in stark contrast to the courtyard where everything is coming back to life.

The contrast between the spring breeze and the harsh winter is so striking.

Both the young man and the bear were stunned.

They had never seen the spring breeze, yet they couldn't help but want to get closer.

All of this was done by the immortal who quietly held up the "Heavenly Stele of the Solar Terms"!
