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

Chapter 290 Su Huan's Ascension
"I know you possess the techniques of an earth immortal."

"I know that if I had the power of an Earth Immortal, I could stay longer, but it wouldn't be so good for me."

Su Huan had a relieved expression on his face.

"I've been a tree in Huiya Cave for so many years, I'm no longer used to being human."

"So I plan to..."

“I intend to disintegrate my physical body—my great-uncle invited you here so that you could use the power of the celestial beings to help my three souls and seven spirits transcend, leaving a legacy for the Su family.”

Upon hearing this, Li Ye's expression changed instantly.

The process of physical disintegration and ascension to immortality cannot actually be carried out at the same time—the former is a passive means of overcoming tribulations, while the latter is a natural ascension to immortality that can only be achieved upon reaching perfection.

If Su Huan forces things to this way, he will probably only be able to "refine" himself into a treasure that will eventually ascend to immortality.

That's really ruthless.

But he really had no way to say anything.

Families like the Su family have an incredibly high level of cohesion. Regardless of whether the younger generation has any ulterior motives, the higher-ups are always completely focused on the family's well-being.

Even if necessary, one can sacrifice oneself...

"So, what do you need me to do?"

Li Ye had no intention of trying to persuade him further.

It was obvious that Su Huan's mind was made up. As a Nascent Soul cultivator who had stayed in Huiya Cave Heaven for so long, his Dao heart was already extremely firm.

If Li Ye could persuade me with just a few words, then I wouldn't be a Nascent Soul cultivator. Since I can't persuade him, I should just try my best to help.

Su Huan smiled and said, "I would like to ask you to use your magic to help me ascend to immortality and help me bear the Heavenly Feather Fruit at the banquet. This would also be a benefit for all the fellow Daoists who have come here."

I need to borrow your face again.

I hope that after I pass away, they will continue to look after the Su family until Su Ya reaches the Nascent Soul stage.

He made no attempt to hide his desire to gain Li Ye's favor. Although he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was still far inferior to Li Ye, a direct disciple of Su Xing and a True Person of Ling Fan Tang.

The Four Seasons Sect is not lacking in Nascent Soul cultivators, but it lacks genius-level cultivators—and Li Ye happens to be of that level.

"it is good."

Li Ye did not refuse.

Putting aside Su Huan's kindness in passing on his teachings, and considering his relationship with Su Ya, it wouldn't be a problem for him to just save face.

"Thank you very much."

Su Huan cupped his hands in greeting to Li Ye, then handed him a jade slip: "This is the spirit pattern that allows spiritual objects to ascend to immortality. I would be grateful if you could engrave it into my essence."

After speaking, he closed his eyes, withdrew the vast, ocean-like magical power and divine sense of his nascent soul, and exposed his most vulnerable side to Li Ye—

The nascent soul sat upright on the earth's spiritual willow.

Li Ye had seen quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators.

But this was the first time I'd ever seen a cultivator's nascent soul.

The tender baby was surrounded by countless shimmering auspicious lights. At first glance, the baby appeared fair and delicate, but there were countless fine, imperceptible patterns on the surface of its skin.

In Li Ye's eyes, Su Huan's nascent soul was not an "infant," but a "primordial fruit" formed by the convergence of countless rays of light, a Dao primordial fruit that Su Huan had honed over a thousand years and that belonged to him alone.

It was so dazzling that it was hard to look directly at it.

Even with his best efforts, he could only barely see a sliver of the "essence".

"So this is the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Really..."

Indescribable.

Even Li Ye, who was considered well-traveled and knowledgeable, showed a hint of envy in his eyes. This was the ultimate Dao fruit for cultivators, and it was incredibly beautiful.

And on the earth vein spirit willow whose roots were tightly connected to the nascent soul, a panel immediately appeared—

[Name]: Earth Vein Spirit Willow - Su Huan
Mood: None

[Status]: A special spiritual plant that has completely merged with a cultivator's nascent soul. It will evolve after the cultivator is willing to completely eliminate his physical body and soul.

After evolution is complete, there is a certain probability that it will advance and transform into "Heavenly Feather Spirit Willow". Within the range of this tree, it will have the same effect as "Ascension to Immortality and Enlightenment".

Nascent Soul and Spirit Willow.

One is the ultimate Dao fruit for cultivators, and the other is a spiritual plant that blesses and benefits all things.

He was so engrossed in watching it that he became quite absorbed.

There was no response for a long time.

"Stop staring at me like that." Su Huan was both amused and exasperated, and quickly said, "Hurry up and engrave that spirit rune into my essence!"

"Oh oh."

Li Ye then came to his senses.

He activated the Observational Spirit Technique, and this time he saw a "dantian" and "sea of ​​consciousness" radiating spiritual light.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that the dantian and sea of ​​consciousness of a Nascent Soul cultivator are vast and boundless, and what Li Ye is seeing now is this boundless "essence".

For him to inscribe the "feathering spirit pattern" given to him by Su Huan in this boundless essence was naturally no simple task.

No.

It can be described as extremely complex.

If Li Ye's spiritual power had not already transformed into Four Brahma Immortal Power, it would have been almost impossible to leave a trace. Even he felt immense resistance.

Feathered Spirit Pattern.

The original ascension should be the shedding of the physical body after reaching perfection, or the merging with the primordial spirit, transforming into a higher-level "immortal body" in the glow of the sunset. However, this kind of ascension requires turning the three souls and seven spirits into spiritual feathers, leaving only the physical shell.

Li Ye is currently inscribing spirit patterns into Su Huan's seven souls.

Once the seven souls were engraved.

He looked at the remaining three souls, his face somewhat pale.

"Senior Su Huan."

"Are you going to disperse along with your three souls? Or, leave behind your fetal light."

In his view, if the physical body is preserved, it is only necessary to annihilate the seven souls that are inclined towards the physical body. If the three souls are also annihilated, then Su Huan will cease to exist.

But Su Huan refused without hesitation: "Tai Guang is the soul of Taiqing Yanghe. If it is not transformed, it will be impossible to communicate with nature and the Heavenly Dao."

The soul of Shuangling is related to my merits and karma. I owe my family everything, and I can only repay it by having it ascend to immortality.

As for the Nether Spirit… if I don’t allow it to transcend, I fear that as my consciousness dissipates, it might evolve into a new consciousness that takes over the Earth Vein Spirit Willow. Such a hidden danger must not be allowed to remain.”

You're really ruthless.

Li Ye had no choice but to continue engraving.

Time passed slowly like this.

finally.

It took Li Ye a full half month to barely complete the spirit pattern for ascension. It was engraved from the dantian to the three souls and seven spirits. It would start operating as soon as Su Huan had a thought.

"Thank you very much, young friend."

"When I pass away at the banquet, I will give the first flower to my young friend."

Su Huan smiled and saw Li Ye off.

After Li Ye left, he sat quietly under the tree, gazing at the Su Family Mountains in the distance, which remained vivid in his memory, and sighed softly:

"After many years apart, our meeting will be our last."

"The Demon-Suppressing Tree... So this is the most terrifying ability of the Demon-Suppressing Tree. How can cultivators who have become accustomed to the tree's body return to the mortal realm?"

After expressing his feelings, he fell silent.

He simply took out a dagger and plunged it into his own body.

The soldiers disbanded.

Of course, it would involve damage from sharp weapons such as knives and swords.

It has to be fatal.

...During the Su family banquet.

Li Ye walked together with Su Ya, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Just now, Li Ye had already told Su Ya what Su Huan had asked him to do, and he felt there was no point in hiding it.

unexpected.

Su Ya was not surprised, but smiled and said, "I know. My grandfather told me before that he also gave me some things and said that the family would fully support me in achieving the Nascent Soul stage."

To be honest, he didn't want it.

He knew his own aptitude; he could certainly achieve the Nascent Soul stage, but the process would likely be very slow. Moreover, he would need to use a special method to refine his Golden Core.

But as the most promising member of the Su family's next generation, he simply couldn't refuse Su Huan's request.

“Even if you, Brother Li, don’t help with this matter, Grandpa will definitely look for other celestial beings. It’s better to ask you than to ask them.”

"So Brother Li, there's no need to worry. This is the path that Grandpa chose himself, and I'm only happy for him."

Su Ya's expression remained unchanged.

And at this time.

A voice suddenly came from the sky:
"Welcome to my birthday banquet, everyone."

Along with the sound came branches that surged through the air. The branches of the earth vein spirit willow covered the entire mountaintop, each branch radiating a spiritual light overflowing with spiritual energy.

...and feathers drifted down.

Those bright feathers of light possessed an indescribable charm, like the radiant light emanating from a soul about to vanish on a battlefield where blood flowed like a river—extremely poignant and beautiful.

Of course, there were many Nascent Soul cultivators present.

They knew what was happening at a glance.

"This……"

"Fellow Daoist Su is about to ascend to immortality?"

"Do we have to do this right after we get back?"

To be honest, the Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't understand why Su Huan did this—they knew he had ideas, but they couldn't understand why.

A cultivator who has spent so long in Huiya Cave Heaven and achieved the Nascent Soul stage through the World's Pill Cultivation Method has virtually limitless potential for future achievements. It would certainly be better for him to live than to die.

But still the same sentence.

They had no way to persuade them, nor the ability to convince them.

Now they could only watch as the enormous branches of the spirit willow obscured the mountaintop where the banquet was held, and see the fluttering feathers of light falling, forming magnificent flowers on the branches of the spirit willow.

Each flower looks like three flowers of different colors pieced together, yet they blend together perfectly, as if they were meant to be this way.

The radiant light was even more dazzling than the sun.

Countless spiritual energies surged forth as the flowers bloomed, creating the wondrous image of a golden lotus emerging from the earth, enveloping the entire mountaintop in a rich spiritual aura.

"Everyone."

"I want you all to owe me a favor—this item is a treasure formed from my essence, body, and soul."

"Anyone present may take one."

In fact, he didn’t need to say it.

Those present knew exactly what it was.

—This is the “Three Flowers” ​​that Su Huan has condensed in another form.

It represents the essence of his entire cultivation.

Although it's not the real Three Flowers, if it could be taken back for the younger generation to refine and comprehend, they might truly learn the supernatural power of "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top".

But because of their status, they did not take action.

It was at this time.

A tall, elegant figure with a graceful bearing stepped forward.

He bowed to the earth vein spirit willow and said in a serious tone:
"Thank you for the gift, Senior."

The cultivators were stunned.

Then, quite surprised, he asked, "Master Lingye?"

"Wasn't he dealing with the merman and the moon goddess in the East China Sea?"

"Wait, don't you know that Su Ya from the Su family and his junior disciple Li Ye have a very good relationship?"

Everyone present is a human spirit.

These words immediately revealed that Li Ye was intentionally speaking up for the Su family—the Su family made their living by alchemy, and with the full support of a master of spiritual plants like him, their position would naturally be secure.

Even if Su Huan were to die right now, it wouldn't matter.

Among the younger generation today, there is none who can compare to Li Ye.

Li Ye didn't say anything more.

He simply reached out and plucked a magnificent tricolor flower.

He was the first to make a move.

The remaining cultivators stopped being coy.

This item was a favor that Su Huan specially sold to them!

Of all things, the debt of gratitude owed to others is the heaviest. But putting aside their previous relationship with Su Huan, just the fact that Li Ye was willing to support the Su family, what else did they have to hesitate about?

So they all bowed.

"excuse me."

"Your flowers are quite beautiful, old man."

"Haha, an old tree blossoms!"

The Nascent Soul cultivators teased and joked with Su Huan, then reached out and picked a three-colored flower, carefully placing it away.

Su Huan's voice also carried a hint of laughter:

"Even if this old tree of mine blossoms, it's still better than you guys who don't blossom. Look at you all, it's been hundreds of years and you still haven't found a Daoist partner."

“I will take root in the Su Family Mountain Range from now on, and my descendants will come to worship me and chat with me every moment, while you can only sit in your caves and cultivate alone.”

"How pitiful and lamentable!"

To be honest, Su Huan really knew how to hurt his friends in a way that would make them feel bad.

"You guy!"

"Hmph, I really don't know if I'm here for your birthday banquet or for a feast!"

"Be careful, I'll be going to break off some of your branches to use as materials for refining weapons in a little while!"

A perfectly good birthday banquet turned into a verbal battle.

The cultivators of the Su family suppressed their grief and brought up a continuous stream of rare and delicious dishes.

The radiance shrouding the earth vein willow on the mountaintop grew ever brighter, and as the birthday banquet was about to end, it suddenly began to melt.

One by one, magnificent and dazzling feathers of light were peeled off from Ling Liu's body, transforming into an extremely beautiful scene with the wind.

But it did not fly into the sky.

Instead, it flew towards the entire Su Family Mountain Range and soon silently melted into the mountain range, planting countless white trees with feather-like marks on their trunks in various corners.

These white trees will likely grow into towering giants soon, bringing a massive boost to the spiritual energy of the entire Su Family Mountain Range.

But the price is...

Su Huan's three souls and seven spirits, along with his physical body, were completely integrated into the Earth Vein Spirit Willow.

Li Ye could sense that the spirit runes had been activated.

He gazed at the Su Family Mountain Range without saying a word, but patted Su Ya's shoulder, whose eyes were slightly red.

The other cultivators remained silent.

They truly could not understand why someone who had just escaped the cage would suddenly disintegrate and ascend to immortality.
