Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel

Thinking this, he closed his eyes.

Then he revealed everything he knew.

Just in terms of this decisiveness, he and his brother were indeed quite alike.

And Li Ye finally understood why the Earth Desire Fox Race could wander so freely through the earth.

This ability was all granted to them by the axe before him.

A replica of the Xuan Flower Mountain Opening Axe.

It was the predecessor of the legendary Heaven Opening Divine Axe, having an inseparable connection with another supreme treasure, the Treasure Lotus Lamp.

The ancestors of the Earth Wishing Spirit Fox once accidentally swallowed the wick of the Treasure Lotus Lamp. Although it was eventually resolved through some means, a trace of the divine power of the Treasure Lotus Lamp remained within their bloodline.

Initially, the ancestor of the Earth Wishing Spirit Fox acquired the replica of the Xuan Flower Mountain Opening Axe intending to leave some life-saving means for his descendants.

His descendants started off strong as well, but later they tried to study the divine techniques of the Mountain Opening Axe, and unexpectedly triggered something. With a terrifying explosion of power, they actually cleaved open a space portal.

The entire Earth Wishing Spirit Fox clan, along with the Earth Desire Cave Heaven, was thus stuffed into the Tao Furnace Realm, which had just recently undergone Heaven and Earth Creation.

In theory, a world that had just experienced Heaven and Earth Creation should be full of treasures and Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands, when Spiritual Qi is at its most abundant.

However, the patriarchs of various sects, to prevent their disciples from becoming complacent from the start, directly locked all Spiritual Qi within the earth and various places, requiring difficult cultivation to obtain.

One must know that the cultivators of all these sects were genuinely cultivators of the Upper Realm, yet even they struggled tremendously to barely manage to cultivate the Tao Furnace Realm once over.

Indeed, they only superficially cultivated it once.

But the Earth Wishing Spirit Foxes had brought the Xuan Flower Mountain Opening Axe. Its power could even cleave the heavens, making it incredibly easy to excavate treasures deeply.

Thus, they happily began treasure hunting, and the treasures were like radishes in a field — simply uprooting them yielded a great heap.

But…

Such easy gains almost without effort displeased the Axe Spirit. It began to resist helping the Earth Desire Fox Race in excavating the Spiritual Objects within the earth.

Yet it was known that the Earth Wishing Spirit Fox had long savored the sweetness, and they already considered the axe as their possession. Since it was disobedient, they devised a way to make it obey.

The Earth Wishing Spirit Fox, connected with another world and associated with the Gnostic School, quickly thought of a method — using the Demonic Qi from the Earth Demon Ginseng combined with wicks made from their pure bloodline clans, offering them as sacrifices.

While numbing, they also begged for its blessing.

In this way, they could continuously obtain the mighty power from the Xuan Flower Mountain Opening Axe.

The Earth Wishing Spirit Fox could then act domineeringly in this world.

The idea was naturally good, but how could such a numbed Mountain Opening Axe not undergo some mutation?

Thus, the Spiritual Objects produced by what should have been countless treasures piled up within the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land of the Earth Wishing Spirit Fox grew increasingly scarce — High-Tier Spiritual Objects proliferated, but the daily required Spiritual Objects became ever rarer.

Even if they were willing to lavishly nourish the ordinary Fox Race with Spiritual Objects, it truly became more than they could endure.

As time went on, newborn Spirit Foxes shockingly became fewer and fewer, and even if they were born, they couldn't be raised.

Helpless, the Fox Race had to venture out in search of Spiritual Objects.

Yet something went inexplicably wrong, and the Fox Race, who should have acquired Spiritual Objects through trading with the outside world, suddenly began causing trouble everywhere.

As a result, they became something hated and couldn't be eradicated, like a persistent illness, causing the cultivators of various sects to gnash their teeth in anger.

Having understood all this, Li Ye pondered.

He looked at the replica of the Xuan Flower Mountain Opening Axe and said assuredly, "You wish for the Celestial Dao to destroy you, don't you?"

The Xuan Flower Mountain Opening Axe remained silent for a long time.

Finally, it let out a weary sigh.

"Yes."
