Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 598 - 341: Heavenly River Ascension, Treasure Lotus Village (Part 2)
And most importantly...
The Spirit Honey, born quietly from the Spiritual Power of the Celestial Beings, appeared everywhere, seeping silently like gentle rain, imbuing blessings and strength into the water sources, the earth, and everything.
To ensure that these powers could be appropriately utilized.
Li Ye specially enveloped the mountains and forests with the special power of countless spiritual forces and rituals, bestowing spirituality to creatures like weasels, foxes, hedgehogs, and snakes, awakening their intelligence.
His voice, like Celestial Sound, resounded through the heavens and earth:
"You may ask me, do you resemble the Immortal Family?"
Some, slightly smarter, realized this was a great opportunity and quickly stood up, speaking in human language:
"True Man, what do you see us as!"
The sound, like Celestial Sound, echoed continuously:
"Immortal Family!"
"Guarding between the mountains and forests and the Human Race, the Immortal Family that helps me with tasks!"
You must know that Li Ye utilized so much power for sacrifice, and being a Celestial Being himself, his golden words easily awakened intelligence.
They could even receive formal temple offerings, transforming into the Immortal Family of Celestial River City, embarking on a smooth path of cultivation from then on.
The power they obtained would maintain the balance between the mountains and forests and the Human Race, and they could even create some mysterious items as the first beneficiaries of Celestial River City’s "upgrade."
At this moment, they were already surging towards Li Ye’s location, eager to worship this great being who had awakened their intelligence.
The Earth and Mountain Gods, of course, felt this drastic change most keenly.
At this moment, he was so excited that he couldn’t speak.
And the other Mountain and Earth Gods beside him were genuinely envious, unable to conceal their expressions—this sacrifice at least elevated Celestial River City by three levels, and it could even establish a City Guardian Temple.
Just as they were thinking about how they could cling to Li Ye, pleading for a similar sacrifice for their own places.
Li Ye suddenly opened his eyes, looked at them, and said:
"What are you waiting for."
"Quickly hand over your seals to me!"
Upon hearing this.
These hundreds of Mountain and Earth Gods and stationed disciples were in disbelief.
Some hesitated, but others quickly took out their seals, and in the end, everyone handed over their seals.
As those seals landed in front of Li Ye, they directly merged into the flames of the Treasure Lotus Lamp, turning into a single radiant jade stone.
Li Ye looked at this jade stone, tilted his head slightly: "Junior Brother, can you still hold on? Since we want to do this, why not do something big, how about we transform the surrounding ninety-nine cities, with Celestial River City as the center?"
Li Xun didn’t even think, nodding directly: "Yes, yes, Senior Brother, don’t worry. My cultivation method is very unique, as long as it can benefit others, I can recover quickly even if I bleed dry."
As he said this, he continued to bleed without hesitation.
This time, the blood gushed towards Li Ye like a waterfall, driven by the latter’s Spiritual Power, flying towards the Heavenly Dome and far beyond.
And so the scroll continued to unfold.
This time, however, it surged from Celestial River City as the center towards the surrounding ninety-nine cities, spanning a million miles of land.
For Li Ye, such a sacrifice was also quite a burden, commanding so many laws and spiritual powers was not easy, let alone trying to steer it in his anticipated direction, which was even more challenging.
After all, each place had a different environment.
These hundred cities encompassed almost every terrain, even deserts and oceans.
The difficulty naturally varied greatly.
To ensure the Spiritual Qi could "revive" without overly affecting the lives of mortals, so that these relatively fragile beings wouldn’t be too impacted by these drastic changes, at the very least, they should not live worse off than before.
And most importantly, to maintain the relationship between the Human Race and "nature," ensuring that land development wouldn’t affect the lives of the original beasts...
At this point, Li Ye truly experienced the burden of having the lives of millions of mortals tied to him, a responsibility that could crush a person. If he didn’t do well this time, his Merit and Qi Fortune would suffer greatly.
Mortal resentment is indeed poisonous to a Cultivator.
But everything has its good and bad sides; the heavy burden also represents huge gains. If he could complete the "upgrade" of these hundred cities, he might obtain some treasures, even... condense the wick of the Treasure Lotus Lamp.
Of course, the Merit would not be lacking.
If so many mortals were to worship him and Junior Brother Li, it would be a huge amount of Merit, enough for him to cultivate the Four Symbols Holy Beast.
Moreover.
Li Ye could vaguely feel that the flame of the Treasure Lotus Lamp seemed to resonate with something here.
He silently looked towards a place.
But he did not urge, just waited for them to come out by themselves.
With his current position, he no longer needed to visit others.
...
Time passed silently like this.
The magnificent scroll with Celestial River City as the center had already spread to the surrounding ninety-nine cities; such a massive change and a moment worthy of being called a grand spectacle naturally attracted the attention of many existences.
Among them was a "Treasure Lotus Village."
As many legends among the mortals say, this unusual village exists within the lotus flowers of the ponds, in the withered wells of the village, the gentle spring breeze, the rainbow after the rain...
In every place within the Mountain and River Realm, there are legends of this extraordinary Immortal Family village. More than one person once had the fortune to visit, but it faded like a dream, leaving only bits and pieces spoken of in storybooks.
And Treasure Lotus Village could indeed be described as a peach blossom land and an Immortal’s residence.
The place was filled with misty fog.
The seasons here were especially distinct, with exotic flowers and rare herbs everywhere, the landscapes of the four seasons islands surrounded the center, resembling a lotus pod, a core island where hundreds of Immortal Families lived.
At this moment, all the Immortal Families were observing the changes around Celestial River City through their own methods, with a hint of envy in their eyes—if their juniors could cultivate here, it would indeed be twice the effect with half the effort!
But until the old matriarch spoke, they dared not say anything.
As for the old matriarch.
She was the head of the village, a kind-looking Fox Immortal.
At this moment, she was sitting in her courtyard, gazing down at a lamp on the stone table, very similar to the Treasure Lotus Lamp.
The flame it emitted seems not very noticeable here, but if you leave the courtyard you will find: the light it radiates maintains the entire existence of Treasure Lotus Village.
Everything depended on its power to sustain.
"Finally, it has come." She sighed softly, "Treasure Lotus, we have left the Earth Desire Cave Heaven for thousands of years, unexpectedly we could hear news from our homeland.
That disciple of the Four Seasons Sect... is actually so incredible, even able to hold the true Treasure Lotus Lamp."
The shaking lamp emitted a clear male voice:
"What are you worrying about, he surely won’t harm you, would someone able to hold the Treasure Lotus Lamp really commit murder for the complete lamp wick inside you?"
This statement was certainly true.
Besides, her living here was of course under the instigation of a heavyweight patriarch from the Four Seasons Sect, otherwise, she would have long been taken away by the Spiritual Fertility Hall for scrutiny, after all, the Earth Wishing Spirit Fox’s reputation wasn’t good.
"True, indeed."
"So I want to take the initiative to show goodwill."
The old matriarch stroked the lamp, with a bit of reluctance in her eyes, "Only if you lose this item to inhabit, can you still be with me forever?"
This time, the lamp did not respond.
It just emitted an even brighter light, projecting from Treasure Lotus Village, instantly transforming into a Hongqiao, falling above Celestial River City.
And resonating with the Treasure Lotus Lamp in front of Li Ye.
Li Ye raised his head looking at this suddenly appearing Hongqiao, with a slight exhaustion in his eyes, he said softly:
"So, you’ve come, senior."
A White Fox, with hair already somewhat pale and faded, quietly crouching not far away, with only calmness in its eyes, without any ripples.
