Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel

"I knew you would come."

Li Ye looked towards the heavenly dome, stretched out his hand, and smiled:

"After all, this is your temple's blessing's first influence in the East Pole Yang Sea, Sister Wangshu, surely you wouldn't refuse to help?"

— This was a small secret he learned while helping the silver toads twist their tongues when they were dazed.

This famous Wangshu Moon God actually liked being called sister very much, allegedly due to her origins.

So Li Ye boldly decided to try it.

If this succeeds, he'll do something even bolder, gaining great benefits regardless of success or failure.

The effect, naturally.

Was quite good.

The moonlight in the sky gathered around him, slowly forming into a token with a full moon, inscribed with the eight characters "Moon Palace Suyao Taiyin Emperor."

At the same time, Wangshu's voice echoed throughout the East Pole Yang Sea:

"I permit the followers of True Man Lingye, Yangyao, to gather moonstone from the moonlight and build a divine temple."

This statement caused everyone paying attention to the place to be astonished.

Especially the Merfolk.

For since that incident, the Merfolk had no trace of even one Wangshu Divine Hall.

Although the Moon Soul Horror Curse indeed caused the Merfolk much trouble.

Yet, if they could indeed breathe in and out the moonlight over the lake before the Wangshu Divine Hall at night, it would be a dream for every Merfolk.

Moreover, they knew clearly that without the Moon God's blessing, it was nearly impossible to occupy the East Pole Yang Sea, and they had prepared many offerings in wait.

Some old Merfolk would even store their treasures before passing away, instructing descendants to present them once Wangshu was willing to accept their offerings.

If anyone dared speak ill of Wangshu, they would unhesitatingly rebut or even engage in magical duels.

But, is Wangshu willing to accept them again?

The Merfolk's feelings were very complex.

Li Ye, hearing Wangshu's response, felt a stir in his heart.

It seemed feasible.

He took a deep breath and said loudly to the moon:

"Moon Palace Suyao Taiyin Emperor, I wish to know if me being able to lift the Moon Soul Horror Curse now means—you are willing to give the Merfolk a chance at redemption with you."

"To resolve this millennium-old grievance."

"To break this ceaseless curse."

His voice pierced through layers of sea mist, echoing throughout the entire East Pole Yang Sea, resonating in everyone's ears.

The cultivators had faces of peculiar surprise.

The Merfolk, no matter where they stood, rose suddenly.

With incredulous expressions.

Li Ye, this True Man Lingye dared to openly ask the Moon God because of this matter, he... He was truly audacious.

They felt complex emotions towards Li Ye, but overall were quite grateful. If Li Ye could truly help them communicate with the Moon God...

Then Li Ye would surely become an esteemed guest of all Merfolk.

They thought of being able to receive Wangshu's care again and looked expectantly at the lunar sky, unable to help but pray.

"..."

The moonlight was silent for a long time.

Truth be told, even Wangshu didn't expect Li Ye to suddenly make this request; at this moment, she didn't know how to respond.

She had told Li Ye the secrets and reasons behind this.

The root of this contradiction was her inability to solve the pain brought by the fractured Immortal Seal, needing someone to help bear the troubles of moon power overflow; the Merfolk were indeed tormented by the Moon Soul Horror Curse.

Now that Li Ye found a way to guide moon power to ease her pain and could lift the Moon Soul Horror Curse, the contradiction could indeed be resolved through him.

Speaking of which.

The original contract stipulated that the entire Merfolk race would help her endure the pain from the moon power overflow fire, while she and the Four Seasons Sect would protect the Merfolk.

It was essentially a mutual exchange.

But in the long years that followed, it turned into the Moon God's curse on the Merfolk, indeed leaving her feeling helpless.

People often prayed to her saying "calamity" was brought by their ancestors, why should it affect their descendants, making them suffer the curse for generations.

Yet, without their ancestors, how could they have occupied the vitality-filled sea of the East Pole Yang Sea, where the Four Seasons Sect's ancestors once began reorganizing the Eastern Domain's Earth Vein?

It was indeed the ancestral vein of the Eastern Domain.

Besides, she was already doing her best to suppress it, with so many Merfolk, one hardly appeared in a decade, sometimes even in decades, and she secretly gave some preferential treatment to that person's clan.

It seemed, it could indeed be resolved?

While Wangshu was silent and reminiscing.

Suddenly.

An imposing-looking female Merfolk rode the waves forward, gazing at the heavenly dome, praying:

"Lord Wangshu!"

"Your grace allows our Merfolk to occupy the splendid East Pole Yang Sea, caressing us gently night after night, we are all very grateful."

"Since heaven presents such an opportunity, True Man Lingye can dissolve curses that many mighty cultivators cannot, the curse that stretched thousands of years can be undone, might there be a turn in the grievances between our ancestors and you?"

Her appearance seemed like a signal.

Following her, several, dozens, hundreds—those current clan leaders and elders who had a voice in the East Pole Yang Sea came forward to pray.

This unclear past was a thorn in the heart of every Merfolk, now that there was finally a chance to solve it, they naturally spoke out.

Among all the Merfolk's expectations.

The radiant moon above the heavenly dome finally delivered a voice:

"You should thank Li, the temple blessing."

"This matter is indeed an old story, and I don't wish to elaborate on its reasons, now that it's mentioned, let it pass with the wind."
