Chapter 162: Beneath the Cyan Bird, the Ephemeral Flower Blooms (Part 2)



See if you can find it.

Don't worry, if you can cause some big trouble, it's actually a good thing for you.

Although the Sect Leader says he doesn't like interfering, he actually enjoys cleaning up messes for others."

Li Ye hesitated and said, "But once I leave, the Emotion Song will be cut off, and you and Senior Brother Su won't be able to communicate face to face."

"It's fine." Su Huan True Man's voice carried a sense of ease: "The power of the Emotion Song is truly too mystical; I'm also worried I might get too absorbed in it.

After all, I'm still buried inside the Demon-Suppressing Tree right now."

Since the True Man was so carefree, Li Ye naturally couldn't continue using the Emotion Song; he directly put away the Emotion Song's leaf, and the connecting beam of light disappeared accordingly.

Then he cupped his hands towards the Earth Vein Spirit Willow: "Then, this disciple nephew will go look elsewhere first."

"Go ahead." At this time, Su Huan True Man had already begun using his authority to summon piles of materials needed for refining, brazenly appropriating a Magical Treasure Pill Furnace here.

He knew very well he was doing something wrong, but he also knew that if he stayed honest, the senior brothers would probably not notice him.

A small "mistake" that doesn't hurt anyone can make people notice that he is still here.

...

Li Ye slowly strolled in the Huiya Grotto Heaven.

This time, he saw more things, including a variety of treasures and the "trials" and "traps" set up by the Four Seasons Sect.

Among them were some that would lead to death if stepped on.

Even a Golden Core would perish under such terrifying power.

He also saw many nameless tombstones, which were formed by the automatic operation of arrays, burying the cultivators who died in the Grotto Heaven.

Such tombstones stretched for hundreds of miles.

It showed how many cultivators seeking a sliver of Immortal Fate perished here.

And it was around these tombstones that he unexpectedly discovered some... Spirit Plants not wrapped in the rainbow beams of the Grotto Heaven—little white flowers with no Spiritual Qi, swaying gently in front of the tombstones.

[Name]: Immortalless Lotus

[Mood]: Sadness

[State]: A Primordial Spirit Plant born from the residual thoughts of countless cultivators who failed to attain immortality, with the ability to sever Spiritual Qi.

[Bindable]: "Beast" born from Divine Power.

Severing Spiritual Qi yet able to bind a beast born from Divine Power?

This indeed intrigued Li Ye; as he stopped and his fingers were about to touch the little white flower, he felt a force of resistance.

Gray Qi surrounded his fingers.

It wasn't from the white flower, but from the land, or more accurately from the buried cultivators here.

Their unattained Immortal Fate was abundant on Li Ye, naturally resisting him taking away their only "color".

Li Ye pondered for a moment, shook the Sun and Moon Ring on his wrist, and the Eight Trigrams Celestial Plate hanging from it began to spin, forming a portal out of the light rings of the Eight Trigrams.

In no time, a chubby Beaver appeared from it.

Upon coming out, it knew exactly what Li Ye wanted to do and promptly took off the prayer beads around its neck, using its tiny paws to fiddle with them with great ritual.

A rhythmic "chittering" sound came from its mouth.

Lotus petals emerged from its tiny mouth, rushing into the earth in a scramble.

This wasn't a requiem.

It was... just a pie in the sky.

Simply put, it was telling them that there would definitely be future opportunities to climb the Immortal Peak, anyway, these are just residual resentful thoughts, the real souls had long been reincarnated.

Having sent off so many reincarnated souls, the Beaver was adept at creating illusions of promises, and soon Li Ye successfully obtained a stalk of Immortalless Lotus.

Li Ye was aware of the situation here and speculated on why the sect didn't address such an obviously resentment-breeding spot, so he wouldn't easily destroy it, merely wanting to take away one Immortalless Lotus.

Now with the Immortalless Lotus in hand, he analyzed its composition as he strolled leisurely.

The Beaver didn't want to leave, so it sat on Li Ye's shoulder, clutching his hair with its little paws, its eyes fixed unwaveringly on the Immortalless Lotus.

The power within this flower was quite peculiar.

It wasn't Spiritual Qi, but more like... Divine Power accumulated from Wish Power Incense.

"Could this be what Uncle Master Su mentioned about the sect's experiments with the Divine Path?"

"Hmm..."

He thought Uncle Master Su certainly didn't mention it casually; this item must have great use.

Divine Path, obsession, graveyard...

Li Ye, after careful contemplation, suddenly thought of something and summoned Cyan Bird Red Bean.

Once out, Red Bean nudged its beak affectionately against Li Ye's face.

"Good."

"Let me give it a try."

After soothing Red Bean, he attempted the binding.

The result was, it was possible.

[Binding requires 5000 Vital Essence.]

He had always felt Red Bean's power was somewhat peculiar, but didn't expect it to be a "Divine Beast."

Its composition was obsession, longing, born from an experiment done by the Hell Path, and from his knowledge, the Hell Path seemed very keen on creating a so-called "Divine Realm."

No wonder Li Ye always felt very familiar with the powers of Wish Power and obsession, living together with Red Bean day and night made it very familiar indeed.

However, Red Bean was different from other Spirit Beasts, and Li Ye didn't know what would happen after binding it with the Immortalless Lotus, so he softly asked:

"For this matter... are you willing?"

Cyan Bird Red Bean looked at Li Ye with its blood-red eyes and nodded.

Over such a long period, it actually had absolute trust in Li Ye, with more than half of this trust stemming from... Li Ye's fondness for staying inside the Cave Mansion.

In its view, as long as it stayed honestly inside the Cave Mansion, there would be no danger, and it would definitely be able to accompany its master long-term.

As long as it could long-term accompany and relieve the pain of longing, other matters were inconsequential.

As for "binding," it had followed Li Ye for so long, and had seen Li Ye use such miraculous Divine Techniques to help various Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts transform, even enabling gourds and turtles to produce offspring.

Even it wanted to undergo a change.

"Thank you." Li Ye extended his hand to caress Cyan Bird Red Bean, then together with the Immortalless Lotus placed it into the Jianmu Grotto Heaven.

Luckily, binding was merely a flex of his mind, consuming five thousand points of Vital Essence rapidly, and Cyan Bird and the flower inexplicably made eye contact.

Then, Cyan Bird opened its beak wide and swallowed the entire flower eagerly, letting out a high-pitched cry, signaling Li Ye to let it out.

Li Ye watched as a ring of fire ignited around it; silently, he released it from the Jianmu World, and as soon as it came out, it shot off into the distance like an arrow.

Its wings dropped sparks of fire as they flew.

Lotus flowers grew where the firelight landed.

As these lotuses grew, they quickly compressed the surrounding Spiritual Qi, yet strangely, the rainbow beams seemed accustomed to it, directly lifting the treasures inside up towards the sky.

The lotuses seized the opportunity to continue expanding, seemingly intent on growing across the entire Grotto Heaven.

For a moment, the Spiritual Qi was in chaos, but the obsessions brought about by the growth of lotuses stretched on unceasingly, even unearthing some deeply buried things from the land.

And they were...

Beings wearing ragged armor, wielding various Magical Artifacts, obviously exuding an aura of death, yet carrying some inexplicable divinity.

Li Ye stood silently, surrounded by a Spiritual Power Shield formed from Jianmu branches, murmuring to himself:

"...Maybe I've stirred up a bit too big of a mess?"

"Uncle Master said the bigger the mess, the better, hopefully, he wasn't deceiving me."

He sighed deeply, his gaze fixated on the soaring Cyan Bird Red Bean, feeling the Immortalless Lotus's power pressing against the seal within Cyan Bird.

It was the seal initially set by Uncle Master Shen Xue at the Love Life and Death Beans, also suppressing the "divinity" of the Love Life and Death Beans.

After all, it...

Was once a deity worshipped in a certain area of the Hell Path.
