Chapter 267 It turns out I've been tricked.
When the sun no longer rises.

When the sun rises and sets, it is a devastating blow to those who long for dawn in the winter night.

Although the winter sun was already dim and lifeless.

However, the warmth and sense of security that the sun can bring are irreplaceable, and even a little bit of sunlight is enough to grow sparse crops.

But now they're all gone.

"God……"

"This is really going to destroy us!"

"What exactly did we do wrong?"

Even cultivators with some level of cultivation were plunged into unspeakable suffering.

Ordinary people without cultivation were in even greater chaos.

If suffering had an end, then it would be bearable.

But the boundless darkness seemed to bring only endless suffering.

Chaos naturally ensued—the cultivators were the first to fall into chaos, as the cultivation path in this world was inherently biased towards the demonic path.

The sun no longer hangs high in the sky.

It's like losing the ability to suppress the demonic thoughts in your heart.

Competition for resources is therefore a logical consequence.

The strong prey on the weak, and the weak oppress ordinary people... In short, all sorts of tragedies, such as families being torn apart and people dying, occur one after another.

The sun disappeared for less than half an hour.

It was already in complete chaos.

Li Ye saw all of this. He sat upright in the courtyard, tracing lines in the air in front of him with his fingers.

Complex and mysterious runes took shape instantly.

The sun and moon shone warmly above his head, converging into the completed talisman.

The talisman flew out of the formation called "Phoenix Pure Land" like a shooting star, falling in all directions. Each talisman formed a small white bell after it fell to the ground.

The ringing sound was as warm and gentle as sunlight.

It can temporarily eliminate distracting thoughts.

At the same time, his voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth like a grand bell:
"Do not cause trouble!"

There were no superfluous words, only a simple warning, but the imposing force in his words made even the Golden Core cultivators in the area feel the pressure as heavy as a mountain.

This is the pressure brought about by different worlds and different cultivation civilizations.

Senior Brother Jiang Guichen stood behind Li Ye, frowning as he asked, "Who taught you this technique of condensing talismans from? Did you only learn it to the Foundation Establishment stage? What about the subsequent Golden Core stage?"

The lineage of the Four Seasons School is quite unique.

Once you learn it, the subsequent methods will usually be provided.

This is why Li Ye was able to obtain the "Wonderful Method of Observing Spirits" at the early stage of the Golden Core realm—since he would have to learn it sooner or later anyway, he might as well give it to him directly so he could familiarize himself with it.

"..."

Li Ye pouted.

“Senior brother, even if we are cultivators, our energy is finite. The art of talisman drawing is profound and complex, and I really cannot study it in depth.”

Actually, it wasn't that his senior uncle didn't want to teach him; on the contrary, he was very interested in teaching him more ways and techniques of drawing talismans. Unfortunately, Li Ye simply didn't have the energy to learn, which made his senior uncle very angry.

"It's alright." The senior brother reached out and grasped Li Ye's fingers, beginning to teach him step by step: "For a cultivator like you who frequently comprehends the universe, the way of drawing talismans is not troublesome at all."

Besides, you can even learn the spiritual patterns of the Observation of Spiritual Wonders.

Once you understand the Dao, you will understand everything. Just learn according to what I teach you.

This method was taught to me by a Nascent Soul cultivator uncle; it involves using one's own spiritual energy to draw upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth..."

He taught very diligently.

Li Ye studied very diligently.

The effect was naturally excellent—what Li Ye originally did was to condense his own spiritual energy into talismans, carry them with the sound of the Dawn Bell, and release them to suppress the omnipresent white demonic energy.

Now, with the method called "Yuanfu Jingjie" taught by the senior brother, one can mobilize the omnipresent primordial energy between heaven and earth.

In particular, the spiritual power of the phoenix.

It seemed that the spiritual power of the true phoenix buried deep underground sensed Li Ye condensing the Yuan Talisman, and it took the initiative to extend strands of spiritual power to help Li Ye gather the talisman that could transform into a phoenix.

Li Ye depicted tiny phoenixes, trailing their iridescent tail feathers as they flew into the distance.

It was so beautiful in the dark winter.

However, once they discover someone causing trouble, the phoenix fire will not hesitate to purify the person, regardless of their Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stage; they will be completely purified the moment they come into contact with the fire.

"It seems it's also trying to save itself."

"Do you think... there's still a possibility that the phoenix can be resurrected?"

Li Ye was curious.

The eldest brother replied, "This phoenix has probably long since become one with this world. If it truly intends to revive and save itself, it is probably by the side of someone favored by fortune."

"Is that so?" Li Ye gazed into the distance, having already memorized the direction of the sun's descent when it set.

In the far east.

So he no longer hesitated.

Meanwhile, the courtyard flew away into the distance.

Phoenixes, spreading their wings, were scattered down from one side.

But they hadn't flown for long when a person appeared in front of the courtyard.

She was an elderly woman with white hair and beard, looking very frail.

Although she couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the courtyard, with so many phoenixes scattered across the dark sky, only a brainless creature like the White Demon could possibly miss them.

Anyone with a brain can find the courtyard.

"This humble woman, Qinghua, requests an audience with the celestial being!"

The old woman performed a grand salute in mid-air, which was indeed very solemn for her, as she was practically an emperor in this world.

The courtyard has temporarily come to a standstill.

Li Ye's gentle voice came from inside: "Fellow Daoist Qinghua, what brings you here?"

"This old woman wishes to ask the immortal, is there any hope for this world?" Master Qinghua maintained his posture of deep bowing, his tone sincere.

"I'm here, I can save you."

Li Ye's voice came without hesitation: "If you want this world to last, fellow Daoist, you must restrain your cultivators and never take advantage of the setting sun to cause trouble."

This place has long been marked by my Four Seasons Sect.

If I later learn that anyone was innocently injured as a result, I will begin to settle accounts, and no one will escape.

After saying that.

The courtyard continued flying forward.

Only Qinghua Zhenren remained, standing thoughtfully in mid-air, his body trembling with excitement.

Throughout her long life, she had long held mortals in contempt, but she never expected that a powerful person would be willing to seek justice for them.

This shows the origin of the Four Seasons Sect.

They are absolutely from a truly prestigious and upright sect.

Could she also have the chance to glimpse the scenery beyond the world?

……

The courtyard finally stopped atop a village nestled in the mountains. This village was unique; it was surrounded by a vast expanse of white snow and was even a hundred miles away from the nearest human village, truly isolated from the world.

Moreover, this place is already close to the "border".

Only a very few areas in this world are habitable for humans. The rest of the land has long been polluted by the demonic energy of the White Demons. Further east from here lies boundless White Demonic energy and a true no-man's land.

Li Ye stood at the courtyard gate and looked down.

His eyes were filled with a radiant light.

But his expression was unusually serious.

Because there are no living people left here.

"Were we too late after all?"

"However, if the soul has not yet dissipated, I do have a way..."

He sighed and stepped out of the courtyard.

A white halo belonging to the heart soil swirled around him, isolating him from all demonic energy and prying eyes.

He strolled slowly through the now silent village, the only sound he could hear being his own footsteps, the dull thud of his footsteps on the snow, a sound that had been lost for so long.

The eldest brother followed beside him, curiously looking around, and reminded him, "There are many treasures here, all worth spending some time digging them out."

Even without his senior brother's reminder, Li Ye could sense that the walls of those low houses were covered with many patterns and characters, all of which were chapters about various supernatural powers and spells.

A cursory look.

There are things like "The Elixir Refining Method of the Sui Ke Realm", "The White Demonic Energy Sacrifice Method", and "Invoking the Spirit of the Phoenix"...

There are at least a few dozen supernatural powers and techniques scattered around.

Moreover, it was all painted with fresh blood.

In this vast, dilapidated, and desolate village, an ominous aura permeated the air.

"This chosen one is quite capable."

"What is recorded here should be the essence of the Sui Ke Realm. The Heavenly Dao is giving him all its inheritance without regard to cost."

"What I don't understand is..."

Li Ye stopped in front of a courtyard and gently knocked on the door knocker.

"crunch-"

The door opened immediately.

The scene inside was laid bare—a figure in a white robe was lying on a deck chair, holding a chicken with brightly colored feathers and a beautiful tail.

"You guys are here?"

The figure sat up straight, a joyful smile on its face.

It turned out to be a teenager who looked to be underage.

There was not a trace of demonic energy about him; on the contrary, he was indescribably pure, and his eyes shone with bright joy.

His appearance cannot be described as handsome, but it is very pleasing to the eye, with a natural charm that makes people feel good at first glance.

"You probably already noticed me when I first came here, didn't you?"

If Li Ye still couldn't figure out what was going on by now, he would be a fool. This chosen one of destiny... probably deliberately caused the sun to fall in order to attract him.

He wasn't angry at being deceived; instead, he became interested.

The chosen one of destiny in this world is indeed interesting.

the most important is.

He raised an eyebrow and said to his senior brother beside him, "So even senior brother makes mistakes. This isn't some pitiful little thing that I need to teach; on the contrary, he's tempting us."

Senior Brother: “…”

Just then, the young man got off the recliner and bowed slightly to the two of them: "Gentlemen, I know you come from another world."

I'll just say it directly.

I invited you two here so that you could plant me into a tree—I once saw a white-clad immortal who used swift and decisive means to plant several Golden Core cultivators, whose inner energy had been corrupted by demonic forces, into a special kind of tree.

Out of curiosity, I went to see those trees.

The astonishing discovery was that the golden cores planted inside the tree had survived to this day, untouched by demonic energy.

At this point, Li Ye understood what he meant and frowned, saying, "The Demon-Suppressing Tree can indeed prevent your magic power and soul from drying up, but you will also suffer the pain of your meridians being filled."

If it were you, the Demon-Suppressing Tree would probably remain standing for a thousand years, ten thousand years, without decaying.

"It doesn't matter."

The boy shook his head and said, "As long as I can make my golden core follow the rules of sunrise and sunset, I will be able to look down on the world through my golden core. A little physical pain is nothing."

“That’s not right.” Li Ye suddenly looked around, his tone filled with obvious doubt: “If you can persist, you can follow the rules of sunrise and sunset whether you are in the Demon-Suppressing Tree or not.”

According to my senior brother, you must have encountered some unbearable pain, which is why you thought of using the pain of the Demon-Suppressing Tree to suppress your own suffering.

And I happen to know the treatment of the chosen ones.

Fortune, Phoenix.

Perhaps your childhood sweetheart has already passed away!

With a swift movement, he pushed open the half-closed door. Inside the clean and tidy room, a lifeless young girl lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), with a dead bird beside her.

The boy had no time to stop it, and an indescribable pain flashed across his face.

As the chosen one of destiny favored by this world, he is incredibly fast at everything he does and cultivates, and he even possesses familial, friendly, and romantic relationships that ordinary people lack.

Five generations under one roof, both parents alive, many friends... and a childhood sweetheart who is devoted to him.

But luck can only protect him alone.

He watched the villagers die one by one, then his relatives die one by one, and finally he couldn't even protect his own wife—that luck spared him from all harm, but the retribution fell on those around him.

He couldn't even afford to lose this good fortune.

But his family and friends have all died, and there are still many people in this world who look forward to the sunrise every day.

He could only maintain the rising and falling of his golden core day after day.

at last.

After discovering that an outsider had entered, he came up with a plan: to use the outsider's power to plant himself inside the tree and then erase his own consciousness.

In any case, all the world needs is his golden elixir.

Whether he's there or not is completely irrelevant.

In this way, he could repay the world for its "careful nurturing" and also be freed from its constraints, which was a win-win situation.

So he immediately caused the golden core to fall, attracting Li Ye and the other person.

Thinking of this, his expression remained completely unwavering.

He said to Li Ye, "If you help me this time, I will give you everything I know, as well as the spatial coordinates of this world."

But Li Ye shook his head and said, "Things haven't reached the point of no return. The order of this world has already collapsed, and even the cycle of reincarnation is overwhelmed."

You are also a chosen one.

Even if you can't keep them physically, their souls have already been trapped here unconsciously. Open your eyes and take a closer look.

As Li Ye pointed out.

Suddenly, many blurry figures appeared in the once empty village, all of them bound by chains.

Unable to move, like a tree stuck in place.

The world still favors its chosen one, but it is already on the verge of falling into evil.

Therefore, the "method" of showing favor is somewhat extreme.
