Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel

The Fox Race, huh.

Both bloodline and appearance are quite important.

Yet, after Li Ye's transformation, the pure Spiritual Qi and celestial aura he exudes overshadowed both aspects, making the other two True Men mere foils.

However, they weren't upset, still communicating through Divine Sense:

"These foxes don't have the malice of vengeful spirits on them, they don't seem like bad people."

"So, do the misdeeds caused by those Earth Desire Foxes outside have nothing to do with them, or is there some hidden truth?"

"It's probably related to that treasure. If they keep causing trouble, it must be to alleviate internal conflicts within the clan."

To be honest, they didn't feel any tension at all.

In fact, they even felt a bit relaxed.

This sense of ease lasted until a few unruly foxes led them to an endless ginseng field.

In this ginseng field.

All the plants growing were Earth Demon Ginseng.

These human-faced demon ginsengs sensed someone approaching, their eyeballs subtly turning. Gathering from all directions, they emitted an inexplicable sense of horror.

Logically, a ginseng field should be the area most filled with Pure Spirit Qi, yet here it was all Earth Demon Ginseng, as the name implies, capable of gathering a trace of Demonic Qi.

What's even more intolerable was the air here was filled with the scent of fox odor, like wisps of smoke entangling all the Earth Demon Ginseng and extending to the depths of the field.

Li Ye deliberately furrowed his brow slightly.

When he initially subdued the Earth Demon Ginseng, he noticed it was controlled by "fox odor," but he didn't expect so many to be under control.

With so many Earth Demon Ginseng, even if each produced just a trace of Demonic Qi, once accumulated, it definitely wasn't a trivial matter.

The Blue Fox noticed the change in Li Ye's expression and boasted:

"Heh heh."

"Brother, you must have just finished cultivating in the secret land."

"This is the most important place of our Earth Desire Fox Race; without the offerings of these Earth Demon Ginseng, the ancestral treasure left by our forebears would have slumbered long ago."

Upon arriving here, he seemed to become even more excited.

Eagerly grasping Li Ye's... claw, he then ran on all fours straight ahead.

His power seemed related to wind and space, as a whirlwind surrounded them. Moments later, they arrived at a Lotus Pond enveloped in smoke, or rather, fox odor.

This Lotus Pond was about nine acres in size, and the inside was filled with jade-colored lotuses, standing tall like lampshades. Yet at the center of each lotus pod, the flesh and souls of foxes burned...

Like lighting heavenly lamps.

Those foxes had their arms spread wide, embracing the sky.

A thread of flame faintly burned at the top of their heads.

The fuel was their trapped souls and entire Essence Blood.

The flames were exceptionally bright, surprisingly resembling the light of the Treasure Lotus Lamp, yet within the merciful glow was a strand of inescapable black aura.

Countless lotus lamps and foxes surrounded a stone at the heart of the Lotus Pond, with an ancient axe slanted into it, radiating an unspeakable terrifying might.

It seemed even the heavens and earth trembled under its Spiritual Pressure.

Just as Li Ye "astonished" stared at the axe.

The Blue Fox suddenly made a move.

His sharp claws viciously aimed for Li Ye's head, or more precisely, the crown.

If successful, it would certainly dig out his brains.

But the moment he struck, the surrounding Demonic Qi suddenly found its master, transforming into countless thorny vines, binding the Blue Fox securely.

"You..."

The Blue Fox was terribly shocked, attempting to self-destruct his Demon Core.

Yet the Demonic Qi had already invaded his body, rendering him unable to control it, and could only collapse to the ground limply, glaring in terror at the composed Li Ye.

"So you are the brother of Di Xia, right."

"Hmm... and your parents too."

Li Ye pointed to the distance at two foxes already lighting heavenly lamps, one red and one light blue. Although they were just foxes, one could still discern "strength" and "grace."

Others might not see the deeper connection, but after arriving here, Li Ye controlled the Demonic Qi, also sensing their bloodline, which was identical to this Blue Fox and Di Xia.

"You're not of the Fox Race, are you?" The Blue Fox quickly calmed down, confidently stating, "You are a cultivator from the Four Seasons Sect."

"Yes."

Nothing much to hide.

"I am True Man Lingye of the Four Seasons Sect."

After saying this, he gazed at the bizarre Lotus Pond, contemplated briefly, and spoke again: "You've been using blood, flesh, and souls as wicks for sacrifices or to pacify that axe, haven't you?"

The Blue Fox had mixed feelings by now.

Truth be told, he was quite relieved.

The situation in the Earth Desire Cave Heaven had completely... "solidified," something he couldn't shake even if he tried.

For years, he'd resorted to despicable acts to shield his reckless younger brother, bearing his brother's resentment.

Yet, what could he do?

Behind every pitiful person, there's something despicable—losing his parents made him pitiful, but having to be an accomplice rendered him despicable.

If he hadn't acted, his brother's bloodline would've been discovered, and by then, sent here to be forged into lamp wicks.
