Chapter 324: Hungry Bone’s Transformation, Yellow Puppy (2)
——Is he really seeking guidance?
"No."
"What exactly is this bewitching technique of yours?"
He shook his head hard, then decisively removed his head, inserting a tentacle from beside him into his brain to inspect it, before reattaching it.
His expression grew even more peculiar: "No bewitching technique, then you...are you truly a Celestial Being?
If I could use the bones of a Celestial Being to create a puppet, I would surely gain a glimpse of the true Celestial Dao..."
He said this.
The light in his eyes grew extraordinarily feverish.
Tightly fixing his gaze on Li Ye, he said, "Celestial Being, you've enjoyed such blessings, why not willingly offer a bit of bone? Just a little would allow more living beings to ascend."
Li Ye's expression remained unchanged: "So, was it your group that instilled that concept in the monk? He truly is pitiful, manipulated in the palm of your hands.
Do you seriously think ordinary people can bear this blessing?
Even fortune-tellers know to shun certain people, saying their fate is too fragile to bear a name or something, how could they possibly bear the cause and consequence of a Celestial Being?
But since you wish to see a Celestial Being, why not take a look at this?
Perhaps this blessing will satisfy you."
Li Ye knew very well that the best way to deal with such almost obsessive people was to destroy their beliefs; only then could he extract the "knowledge" they held—this was also why he hadn't directly acted.
He made a gesture with his hand.
The patterns of the Jianmu quickly formed a space portal.
A Pure Land Celestial Being stepped out from it, one whom his master's elder had captured for him.
When he first saw this Pure Land Celestial Being, the panel indicated it could bind with "Hungry Bone," which caught his attention back then. Though he was later preoccupied with a myriad of matters, he never forgot about it.
This current "Pure Land Celestial Being" is already bound to Hungry Bone.
He still appeared as majestic as ever, even more "sacred" than Li Ye, but there was a Hungry Bone nestled in his forehead.
The blessings and Spiritual Power from the Celestial Being were being continuously absorbed by the Hungry Bone, and the ghastly white bones were becoming transparent while the purple-red flowers visibly turned white.
Its existence was initially due to the Hell Path's attempt to "farm" Celestial Beings, and now being symbiotically bound with a Celestial Being, its compatibility was almost the pinnacle of all Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts that Li Ye had cultivated.
"Hungry Bone?"
"Hungry Bone!!!"
The Upper Envoy's face finally showed a change for the first time.
He murmured to himself, saying, "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
"Why impossible? Isn't this exactly the blessing to be returned to the world as you wished?" Li Ye smiled faintly and said to the Hungry Bone:
"Come, show him your power."
—Originally, within the Hungry Bone was a soul that was protected and couldn't reincarnate or leave, but after binding, the soul had long since reincarnated and departed.
What remained was a being spawned from the blessings of the Celestial Being and the Resentment Qi of Hungry Bone.
Of course, it could understand Li Ye's words.
The gradually whitening little flower trembled slightly.
Like crystal-clear glaze, the resplendent light flowed out from the flower like honey and slowly dripped onto the ground.
Then.
Countless white flowers bloomed on the ground, swaying, with enormous buds visibly containing nectar, emitting a fragrance that was refreshing and sweet.
The Upper Envoy could see very clearly.
The nectar was indeed formed from the condensation of blessing Qi Fortune and Merit, without the slightest "weight," and if it weren't enclosed by the buds, it would probably have floated away.
This signified...
Anyone could enjoy this nectar filled with blessings and naturally be nourished by it, experiencing no pressure, subtly becoming better and possibly even acquiring some characteristics of a Celestial Being.
Precisely because he could see clearly, he almost had a mental breakdown—he and his teacher and fellow disciples had worked so hard for so long, only managing to construct a small pure land using a Celestial Being as the cornerstone.
The low-quality "Celestial Being" wasn't even suitable for extracting bones as material.
Yet here was True Man Lingye, who in such a short period managed to utilize the Celestial Being they painstakingly nurtured in an unbelievable way.
How could this be possible!
He took several deep breaths, surprisingly calming down miraculously.
Lowered his head to Li Ye.
"Please teach me."
"I am willing to tell you everything I know."
"As long as you teach me..."
It seemed that he felt lowering his head was not respectful and humble enough, so he directly prostrated himself, continuously kowtowing and saluting to Li Ye.
Li Ye got goosebumps watching.
Originally, he didn't intend to kill the opponent, but now he suddenly felt that controlling him was indeed necessary to prevent this guy from suddenly going mad.
Thinking this way, he acted accordingly.
He threw out the seeds of the Demon-Suppressing Tree.
Simultaneously guarding against the guy's resistance.
However, this Upper Envoy did not resist at all, allowing the roots of the Demon-Suppressing Tree to pierce into his body, letting branches grow out from inside him, and with his head, not yet encased by leaves, he fixed an expectant and... god-adoring gaze dead on Li Ye.
"I said...you can do anything to me."
"You were born special."
He droned on like a madman, indeed.
Li Ye showed a complex expression, then retracted the Celestial Being, dispersed this avatar, and reappeared by Wei Qingye's side.
The sword cultivator, his eyes red from the battle still unstained by dust, exuded a surging killing intent and Sword Qi that made Li Ye frown slightly. He looked around unobtrusively at the dwindling number of Vengeful Spirits and Evil Ghosts.
"Hm?"
Wei Qingye brushed back the sweat-drenched hair tips, controlling the Spirit Sword to dance around as he asked, "What have you been doing? Why is your expression so solemn?"
"I just met a cultivator from the Gnostic School, a genuine madman. Although I've subdued him, I still feel like he has something else up his sleeve, so I didn't stay too long on that other side."
The bamboo sword abandoned its fight and started rubbing against Li Ye's palm, the Pure Spirit Qi from the Celestial Being making it feel unusually comfortable, even emitting some moaning sounds.
It's normal, but as the saying goes, "like master, like pet"...so it sounds...
Anyway, Li Ye couldn't help but want to laugh.
Upon hearing this, Wei Qingye beamed, grabbed his Lifebound Spirit Sword that was rubbing against Li Ye, and teased: "So you're asking me to deal with that one?"
"Right." Li Ye blinked, then gave him a push: "Go on, I'll handle the Evil Ghosts and Vengeful Spirits here."
This urgent tone gave Wei Qingye a sense of something amiss, but out of trust in Li Ye, he said nothing, swiftly wielding his sword and leaving.
After watching Wei Qingye walk away, Li Ye extended his hand and gave a light wave.
Leaves flew up around him.
Those jade-like leaves left ripples in the void, directly circling the monsters like Vengeful Spirits and Yaksha, starting a battle.
However, no blood was shed, only flakes of jade-like light fell, fluttering like a shower of green snow.
The constant presence of deadly ash appeared in Li Ye's eyes.
Indeed.
Unlike Vital Essence.
This material appears directly in front of Li Ye, visible only to him.
