Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 661 - 373: Immortal Seal: Don’t Come Any Closer!
The moonlight still shone brightly.
The progress was exceptionally smooth.
But Li Ye couldn’t shake a feeling of unease, a ripple stirred deep within his heart.
The Spiritual Sense of a Cultivator is important, and he didn’t ignore it. Instead, he allocated a bit of his mind to be aware of his surroundings.
Soon enough, he discovered something amiss—
When he was lifting the Moon Soul Horror Curse.
There was something unusual in the hidden abyss below.
He was never one to watch things unfold and then remedy. Instantly, he asked the moonlight behind him:
"Sister."
"What is that?"
The moonlight behind him paused for a moment.
Then, Wangshu’s voice came:
"That is the root of the Moon Soul Horror Curse, a minor hidden danger left over from back then."
A minor hidden danger?
If it were truly minor, you wouldn’t have left it unresolved for so long.
But Li Ye would not say this in front of so many Merfolk; private banter and teasing are one thing, public discourse is another.
"Is there anything I can help with?"
He allocated more of his mind, unabashedly probing into the abyss under Wangshu’s cover.
He was also curious: "Why has the Moon Patrol of this era, even as the Immortal Seal, become so steeped in Demonic Qi?"
"..." Wangshu looked helplessly at Li Ye, who, leveraging her power, was peering downward. His nonchalant approach made her feel rather comfortable.
Relations among Cultivators are generally passionate yet restrained. Few, like Li Ye, strike such a fine balance—neither offending nor lacking in a desire for dialogue.
Even Deities have moments of vulnerability.
Thus, after a deep sigh, she actively guided a strand of Li Ye’s Divine Sense, diving into the abyss’s depths.
Under numerous malevolent, shadowy gazes.
They came before a small lunar disc.
This was the very bottom of the abyss.
The atmosphere was oppressive, almost suffocating.
Yet that sole light source, the palm-sized lunar disc, shimmered with a leisurely glow.
As if it cared for nothing in this world.
Always resting in its rightful place, all troubles and woes were just "external matters."
Unexpectedly, it exuded an "Immortal" aura.
"This is the Immortal Seal."
"One of the roots of the lunar lineage."
Wangshu gazed at the lunar disc with a complex expression: "It was taken by the founder from the Upper Realm and should be part of my dominion.
But its power is so overwhelming.
Even I cannot contain its immortal power, and have to contract with the Merfolk Race for assistance in sharing it.
Over time, its power has become so immense it nearly fell into the Demon Path, hence I had to suppress it here.
Extremes meet, even I have no solution."
She didn’t expect Li Ye to resolve this. It’s an issue... a historical relic, so to speak. Over millennia, even the brightest Cultivators have found themselves helpless.
Simply because of Li Ye’s curiosity,
she brought him here, nothing more.
As for any trouble arising after Li Ye lifted the Moon Soul Horror Curse, she would handle it herself.
"Uh."
Li Ye approached the lunar disc.
Curiously asked: "Have you ever considered using this immense immortal power for something?
I understand its power leans toward the Demon Path, making it hard for you to manage.
Why not let me give it a try?"
His words left Wangshu slightly stunned, suddenly remembering her brother seemed to have mastered the Divine Techniques of the Dao Heart Demon Seed. Demonic Qi indeed didn’t bother him.
"Then give it a try."
"Remember to be careful."
"If there’s danger, leave immediately. I’ll handle it."
She took a step back.
Leaving the place entirely to Li Ye to exercise as he wished.
Li Ye took a deep breath.
Ever since he began, elders have shown him immense trust, so this time he must succeed, at least to alleviate Wangshu’s predicament.
As for how to alleviate...
It’s simple.
He reached out, summoning forth his Lifebound Magical Treasure.
This low-profile Lifebound Magical Treasure appeared and immediately bumped against him several times—staying in the Cave Mansion as the sun and moon wasn’t pleasant.
More so when unable to be by Li Ye’s side.
This made it, inherently linked to Li Ye, very uncomfortable.
So it wasn’t surprising it came out and bumped a few times to express its displeasure.
"There."
Li Ye could only console it, guilty, gently caressing and kneading it until it was dizzy, before saying:
"Once I get the moon out, you can always follow me."
"But for now, I need your help—I need you to use the immortal power of this Immortal Seal as a spirit source under the sun and moon, to help me deduce some matters."
His idea was simple.
With so much Spiritual Power present, why not channel it?
This abundance of Spiritual Power, verging on exploding, would at least find some relief through channeling, though only he could do it.
If anyone else tried to meddle with the Immortal Seal, Wangshu might throw them out unless in a particularly good mood.
So, the only qualified person was Li Ye.
He could use the Dao Heart Demon Seed to engage with power close to Demonic Qi and utilize the spirit pattern of the Sun and Moon Ring for expenditure; his most vital asset was Wangshu’s endorsement.
Thus, aligned by time, place, and people, if he couldn’t accomplish something...
