Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel

The white light upon the gray land.

Even Li Ye and Wei Qingye, despite using all their divine sense and perception, did not detect its appearance at first.

It wasn't until the pure white light blossomed that Li Ye realized something was amiss. However, that streak of light had already touched his Rice Robe.

"Swish!"

At the moment of contact.

A corner of the Xiguang Rice Robe, nourished by his "Dao" and Celestial Vein fragments, immediately faded away, as if erased by a giant hand.

"Hmm?"

Li Ye sensed something was wrong immediately.

Heart Power!

Such terrifying Heart Power?

Without a second thought, he pulled Wei Qingye back.

The two retreated a hundred feet, watching more pure white halos emit from the courtyard's unclosed doors, gradually corroding everything around.

The stone slabs on the ground, surrounding decorations, even the Evil Ghost bodies slain by Li Ye and Wei Qingye yet to dissolve, were frozen in the pure white flawless color.

Large expanses of white light slowly but steadily spread outward.

"Hehehe..."

A nearly horrifying laughter came from the courtyard: "No matter what... you can't save... them."

"Just like your... eldest senior brother."

Eldest senior brother?

For a moment, he suspected this guy was trying to influence him, but he indeed cared a lot; the trip to the East Pole Yang Sea brought him many gains.

What if it's true?

In this brief flash of a moment, Li Ye thought about all the treasures on him, even hearing True Man He's voice:

"Leave."

"I will cut this part and freeze it with the power of the Bronze Tree, then invite your master here. This kind of Heart Power... is beyond me."

Along with True Man's voice came sword light descending from the sky, like water. Despite appearing gentle, it began to slice the surrounding space like the most exquisite instruments.

Bronze glows were also slowly unfolding.

True Man was using the gentlest method to help them resolve all that was happening here.

"No!"

"Senior."

Li Ye suddenly called out: "I have an idea, let me try."

"Alright."

The sword light withdrew without hesitation but didn't completely disappear, as True Man's consciousness continued observing here.

Wei Qingye's forehead was already beading with sweat. He gripped his long sword, feeling powerless for the first time against this peculiar Heart Power, whose ability to engulf everything was truly terrifying.

He was somewhat nervous: "Brother Li, are you sure it's alright? Should we run? Leave the green mountain, don't worry about firewood!"

"Don't rush."

"True Man is watching here; I want to try."

All the panic on Li Ye's face had completely vanished; only determination remained. Having made a decision, he would not look back.

He even stepped forward, opened his palm.

The Eight Trigrams Celestial Plate above the Sun and Moon Ring spun swiftly, and a pea-sized, immaculate white seed fell into his hand.

Precisely the Heart Grass seed!

When Li Ye obtained this Heart Grass seed and planted it, he didn't pay much attention as he was going out, given its growth started at a century.

But the Heart Grass seed had a characteristic — it could absorb Heart Power to grow.

As long as Li Ye's power could guide Heart Power into the seed, it could convert the chaotic Heart Power into the energy required for its growth.

And the method of guidance...

Of course, it's the Emotion Song!

He immediately sat on the ground, holding the Heart Grass seed with one hand, and took out the Emotion Song to play with the other.

Soft light spread forward with willow branches, cautiously touching the invading Heart Power, and the branches were covered by a white layer instantly.

But fortunately, the power of the Emotion Song was extremely special, and since Heart Power itself was concocted by the Four Seasons Sect — combined with Li Ye using the power of Jianmu to stabilize the space — the Heart Power was reluctantly guided over.

That white light injected into the seed.

But it was also at this moment that a resentful voice sounded in the courtyard: "What?"

"You shameless thief!"

Pitch-black strands extended from the white areas covered by Heart Power, like countless sharp spears, attacking Li Ye.

Li Ye didn't even look, fully devoted to guiding the Heart Power.

The surprise was that it wasn't Wei Qingye who struck out; or perhaps he just didn't have time to do so, as a figure like an iron tower leaped from afar, punching those hair strands.

"Boom!"

The strands instantly shattered into countless pieces, then exploded a second time, filling the air with the smell of burning scorch.

"Taoist Friend Li, don't panic, I'm here to help you!"

The towering figure turned around with a hearty laugh, showing off gleaming white teeth.

"...Spirit Refining Sect?"

Wei Qingye wasn't pleased seeing these simple-minded folks who always sought fights under the guise of magical duels. He directly stepped forward, sweeping the sword light, repelling more strands.

"And we're here too!"

Several shouts echoed from the sky.

After dealing with strands from their respective zones, cultivators from Qiongguan Mountain, Bitter Journey Academy, and Yaoxiang Demon Sect arrived. They guarded around Li Ye with a silent yet competitive camaraderie.

Among them, a woman from Yaoxiang Demon Sect had numerous male and female puppets by her side with outstanding appearances. These puppets extended strands as if trying to reverse-penetrate into the courtyard.

This was the cultivation method of Yaoxiang Demon Sect. They mimic appearance, mana, and divine soul aura, especially liking to linger around cultivators with excellent appearances; regardless of gender, they were their targets to approach.
