Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel

Li Ye seemed very calm, but he was actually quite excited.

Golden Core late-period.

Just one step away from Nascent Soul.

Perhaps his smile was too obvious; when he finally finished cooking the delicious food, the two sat above the calm, moonlit ocean to eat.

Wei Qingye couldn't hold it anymore and sourly said, "Look at your smile, can you tone it down a little?"

"No way." Li Ye shrugged, "It's just the late period of Golden Core. You'll advance sooner or later."

It's indeed only a matter of time.

But the problem is Wei Qingye was just annoyed.

Not out of jealousy, not for any particular reason, just simply annoyed.

"Hmph."

"Golden Core late-period, yet you still can't beat me in a magical duel."

He struggled for a while before coming up with that statement.

Can he really not win?

Suddenly, Li Ye extended a finger and gently pointed into the void.

From the jade-like fingertip touching the void, ripples spread out like waves.

Soon after.

Elegant and mysterious bronze patterns grew from the void, like the branches of Jianmu reaching out, penetrating the void, and the leaves made of countless radiance formed profound runes.

In just a moment, he grasped the surrounding space entirely.

Although Wei Qingye could see Li Ye was right in front of him, it felt as if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, unreachable.

"...The Spatial Divine Power of Jianmu."

Wei Qingye suddenly found the pastry in his hand lost its appeal.

Spatial Divine Power is the most troublesome and annoying divine technique of them all; in the presence of cultivators who master such powers, you might not even be able to touch them.

You can also end up being manipulated by their spatial powers.

If you put it seriously, you could become like a puppet, played around carelessly.

"This is the divine technique I learned after completing the Dao Heart seed of magic, Brother Wei, why not give it a try to see if you can break it?"

Li Ye made a gesture of invitation.

Discussing the Dao over tea - although now it's over a meal, it shouldn't be much different; Li Ye even used the power of Jianmu to isolate the food.

No matter how close, no matter how tempting the aroma is, you can't truly touch the delicious dishes.

"Interesting." Wei Qingye's gaze sharpened as he grabbed his Lifebound Spirit Sword.

He had already learned the "Chaotic Space Sword Technique" from Celestial Vein Sword Mountain, which was the foundational swordsmanship for the founder's Heaven-Opening Sword Technique.

The basis for learning that sword technique was having a profound understanding of the Power of Space, and now, as he held his sword, the Sword Qi around him surged like a gentle breeze.

He tried to carefully probe the nodes and flaws of the divine technique Li Ye had deployed.

However, the bronze textures formed by Jianmu's branches were seamless, almost like they were born from nature, completely without a trace.

What troubled him more was how incredibly stable the space here was, almost like another world, even more stable than the spatial array of the Hell Path back then.

Whether seeking a flaw or forcibly breaking through, it seemed nearly impossible.

Under normal circumstances, retreating would be the best strategy.

But if he didn't even attempt a single strike...

He focused intently, chose not to speak, and casually but earnestly swung his sword.

Instantly, his entire demeanor deflated.

His face turned pale, utterly devoid of color.

The Sword Qi, condensed with all his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, was as light as mountain mist but quickly expanded during flight, one becoming three, three becoming a hundred, a hundred becoming a thousand... finally transforming into a vast expanse.

Directly collided with the branches of Jianmu.

An immediate loud boom sounded —

"Boom!"

The surrounding space could be felt trembling intensely.

As if struck by a heavy hammer.

The originally stable and exquisite bronze patterns began to crack, displaying noticeable traces of blood.

This scene made Li Ye's eyelids twitch.

Crazy!

Isn't he crazy!

Just a spar, would it really require such a divine technique?

He actually performed blood sacrifice with the sword — this is a special divine technique of Celestial Vein Sword Mountain, where one's Essence, Qi, and Essence Blood merge into the Sword Qi during cultivation, ready to explode when necessary.

Known to Celestial Vein Sword Mountain cultivators since the outset of their training on the mountain piercing the heavens, their bodies and mana have long been soaked in heavenly Spiritual Qi; such an outburst is almost equivalent to a cultivator self-destructing their Golden Core or Nascent Soul.

Yet for Celestial Vein Sword Mountain cultivators, it only costs some Essence Blood.

But the trouble lies in how much Essence Blood exactly this divine technique consumes.

Currently, Wei Qingye used quite a lot of Essence Blood, which resulted in significant Primordial Qi depletion.

"Madman."

Li Ye sighed helplessly.

Then he paid Wei Qingye the greatest respect by reinforcing the bronze patterns and without restraint infused his Spiritual Power into them.

In an instant, Spiritual Light flourished.

That terrifying Sword Qi, after colliding with the bronze patterns for quite a while, ended up dissipating quietly, having no significant effect.

"Ha." Wei Qingye shook his head, already expecting this: "With Jianmu as your protective treasure, I cannot affect you even the slightest.

If that's the case, how about we venture into the Hell Path together?

There should be many Golden Core level creatures inside, right?"

Venture into the Hell Path.

Li Ye pondered for a moment, feeling tempted.

He should start preparing some demon-related items, whether binding Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast for himself, or enabling his disciples' cultivation.

The most crucial part is that materials required for binding "Demon Path" must be personally harvested by him.
