Chapter 298: Sea Territory Fief, Divinity Transformation Reward (Part 2)
It was as if the sun hung upon the branches.
This power...
A spiritual light flashed in Li Ye's mind.
He hurriedly bowed, saying, "Disciple Li Ye, greets Spring Sun Ancestor!"
——This person must be one of the current four Divinity Transformation Taoists in the Four Seasons Sect, who presides over spring as the Spring Sun Taoist.
It is said that the troubles caused by the Hell Path were eradicated by this Spring Sun True Man, the Hungry Bone was nurtured by her.
"Spring Sun Taoist Friend."
Ao Kong's expression was somewhat solemn.
He frowned, speaking directly, "Do you intend to persuade me to abandon these Dragon Clan members? That will never happen."
Spring Sun Taoist shook her head, her tone quite casual, "Their creation also has your contribution; naturally, I won't sever the karmic fortune between you.
Now that I've come here in this form, I just want to ask...
How many Nascent Souls do you plan to station at East Pole Yang Sea?
And how will we exchange for many of our Four Seasons Sect's Dragon Clan bloodlines to merge into your Dragon Clan's fortune?"
Ao Kong replied without hesitation, "How about first sending ten Nascent Soul Dragon Clan? If needed, come to the Suspended Sea anytime to ask for more.
As for how to exchange.
I'm willing to hand over some Dragon Clan's Secret Techniques to you, but these must be practiced by Friend Li; how about it?"
The two Divinity Transformations seemed to exchange a glance.
Spring Sun Taoist didn't immediately agree but looked at Li Ye:
"The Secret Technique he's offering is no more than methods to transform into a dragon, Cloud Formation and Rainfall, governing celestial phenomena of magic; do you desire these?
Before I came, I asked Mo Qi, although you have some influence, it's still too little; if you truly wish to manage so many Dragon Clans well, you'll need more people to assist.
If you're willing, I can speak to the Sect Leader to reopen the mountain gate, recruit a batch of disciples exclusively for you, taught all these Dragon Clan Secret Techniques, treated as your subordinates."
Nobody knows why.
This Spring Sun Taoist's gaze towards Li Ye was particularly affectionate; she is a Divinity Transformation, one of the Four Ancestors of the Four Seasons Sect, yet so agreeable.
Li Ye pondered a bit.
Then responded, "Of course, disciple wants this!"
——In the history of Four Seasons Sect, it's not unprecedented to open the mountain gate exclusively to recruit disciples for a specific cultivator.
This represents a brand new heritage.
Although it's said as subordinates solely for a specific cultivator, no one truly considers themselves independent from the sect; they are still sect disciples, various Dharma Methods will be imparted, albeit mainly focused on fixed Divine Techniques and Magic.
It's akin to an honor and a means for cultivators to bestow grace.
Although the Four Seasons Sect recruits disciples twice a year, the number is limited; in such special circumstances, for those cultivators aspiring to advance, it's an unprecedented opportunity.
Even due to this special nature of disciple recruitment, suitable cultivators from the whole Tao Furnace Realm would come, each major family sect would send their elite disciples.
Since entering the sect signifies establishing a connection with that powerful cultivator capable of making the sect so lavishly open mountain gates to recruit disciples, one can also learn brand new Divine Techniques, the benefits are endless.
And for Li Ye.
It's tantamount to the sect spending resources to nurture a group of subordinates for him.
He fell silent for a long time, finally bowing, "Then disciple first thanks Ancestor!"
Spring Sun Taoist smiled and said, "It's what you deserve. In the future, for anything, just let these disciples handle it, don't be disturbed by mundane trifles during cultivation.
By the way.
I have one more thing to give you."
She extended her hand, gently gesturing.
A map of the entire East Pole Yang Sea unfurled gradually.
It displayed the entire seascape in real time, revealing every secret place without reservation.
"Ten thousand miles seem insufficient... let's make it a hundred thousand."
Spring Sun Taoist gazed at the map, lightly tracing her finger. Centered around Ruoquan Island, the hundred-thousand-mile sea formed a circle, regardless of previous names, transformed into four large characters——
Spirit Leaf Sea.
"Done."
"This sea can be considered the sect's Golden Core gift to you."
"You must manage this place well, East Pole Yang Sea is a vitality gathering location for the entire Eastern Domain. This sea harbors many minerals and treasures; let's see if you can discover them."
Li Ye was speechless.
Yet he felt, perhaps only this matched Spring Sun Taoist's personal visit, a hundred-thousand-mile sea, opening mountain gates for recruitment...
He deeply inhaled.
"Disciple will surely manage this land well."
"Certainly won't disappoint Ancestor."
Spring Sun Taoist patted Li Ye's head again, "You're now a Golden Core, not a junior; don't think managing a sea is simple.
This hundred-thousand-mile sea and all life within it are tied to you; it's a heavy burden."
After speaking.
She said to Ao Kong, "Taoist Friend, shall we go for a walk together?"
"Alright."
Their figures vanished instantly.
Reappearing already within the sea realm.
Surrounding seawater seemed not in the same space, yet they could easily touch everything within the sea.
Spring Sun Taoist stroked the dragon-shaped Potato Flood Dragon a few times, praised, "Such grand aspiration! Truly bold.
Even I don't know how many aquatic beings are in East Pole Yang Sea; this child dared to make such a vow.
But..."
She looked at Ao Kong, "Buddhist vow power is granted upon making the vow, like borrowed money from a pawnshop.
Future repayment is needed.
Where is its vow power now?"
With her words, Ao Kong too seemed to notice for the first time, frowning: "What Taoist Friend said is true; why didn't I think of this before?"
He felt quite surprised.
Why hadn't even he noticed?
"Naturally, it's this little creature's secret." Spring Sun Taoist pointed at the massive Potato Flood Dragon standing silently on the seabed.
"It's preparing a gift for its master."
"Not just it, other Dragon Clans too; guess what this gift might be?"
"... "
Ao Kong sighed, "Why do you always enjoy asking me this, couldn't we just look directly?"
He extended a hand, pointing at the seabed.
From where the massive Dragon rooted, tiny shards floated up like shattered glass, each piece reflecting the ocean's blue light.
These are fragments of sea aura.
Or put another way, they are Essence Blood of East Pole Yang Sea.
If enough of these sea aura fragments are gathered, a certain array can slowly transform ordinary waters into sea territory.
As the fragments rose gradually.
Originally leisurely roaming Dragon Clans gathered; they indeed feared these two, yet they didn't wish to see their master's treasures taken.
Both frightened and brave.
Spring Sun Taoist watched, quite moved:
"Able to overcome fear of us, it shows true love for Li Ye."
"It's not just their will, but also someone's power at play; otherwise, they can't silently transport these sea air back."
Spring Sun Taoist keenly observed a slightly unnatural undercurrent on the seabed, saw at its end a faint rift leading to another world.
That was Weichuan's power.
From the founding of the sect, Weichuan never meddled in sea power—although it long surpassed the four seas domain, it never entered the sea.
Yet now it actively intervened to help Dragon Clans transport sea air back to Li Ye's Cave Mansion.
If the reason behind this is understood, perhaps Weichuan could transform, truly from Four Seasons Sect connect the entire Eastern Domain, activating the sect's original array.
However.
Why did Weichuan help them?
Is it the Beaver or the Treasure Lotus Lamp?
