Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 702 - 393: I Don’t Want to Form a Nascent Soul... (Part 2)
"I remember back in the Upper Realm, some of those peculiar senior brothers and sisters actually named their kids ’Doggy’ or something..."
"Cough, cough." The Sect Leader thought if this continued, Summer Ji might get in trouble with the ancestors above, so he hurriedly said, "Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s discuss this child Li Ye instead!"
Upon hearing the Sect Leader say this.
Everyone else stopped talking.
They simply looked quietly at Li Ye standing over there.
Sending him blessings, watching the show, expecting him, or finally finding a scapegoat to help with work.
The Sect Leader took a step forward.
First he said, "From now on, all the amenities and treasuries of the sect will be open to you, you can freely take anything from inside."
No requirements at all.
As long as you want, you can take whatever you please.
Secondly, the sect’s array that governs celestial phenomena, seasonal clouds, and rain will be built in your cave mansion.
Lastly, if you have any needs, the sect will do its utmost."
After saying this, he shrugged his shoulders.
"The benefits have been mentioned, now it’s time for the bad news."
His smile became increasingly kind.
A jade-green ruler appeared in his hand first.
The ruler was engraved with images of countless flowers, birds, fish, insects, and virtual images of mountains, rivers, lands, and the sun, moon, and stars.
"You should know this item."
"It’s a replica of the Shennong Ruler from one of our ancestor gods, Shennong Emperor Yan."
He handed the ruler to Li Ye: "When you receive this ruler, it represents that you must take on the operation of a hundred Small Thousand Worlds.
Your every decision will affect those billions of beings.
Feeding them is just the easiest part.
Every ten years, you need to pass the assessment of the Spiritual Fertility Hall, or have someone from these Small Thousand Worlds successfully ascend to our Tao Furnace Realm.
Automatically becoming your strength."
Li Ye stared at the ruler, dumbfounded for quite a while.
Is this how it starts, with something so exaggerated?
A hundred Small Thousand Worlds?
Is it too late if I don’t want to become Nascent Soul now?
A thought like this flashed through his mind, and then he accepted the ruler.
Instantly feeling the connection to those hundred worlds, everything in those worlds was in his perception, clear as day—Tao laws, species, environment, even a thought from him could cause changes.
This familiar feeling reminded him of the busy time he had not long ago when sorting the Celestial Vein, and he immediately felt terribly overwhelmed.
The weighty responsibility fell heavily on his shoulders like this.
"Don’t worry, there’s more."
The Sect Leader smiled kindly, then took out a second item.
This time it was a jade talisman.
It was inscribed with the familiar Four Seasons Smooth runes that Li Ye knew.
"This item is the foundation of your Grotto Heaven."
"You need to create a cave mansion of your own within the Four Seasons Sect, leaving a legacy for later generations—just like the Ninth Layer Celestial Palace you visited."
"Remember, it shouldn’t be too close to the sect’s other cave mansions, it must have your own unique features and legacy."
This time, Li Ye’s face, if not fully crumpled, was pretty close.
The cave mansions in the sect are simply wonders.
Each has its own uniqueness.
It’s enjoyable to watch, but creating one yourself is just "yeah right."
"Alright... Okay."
He frowned and accepted the jade talisman.
The deities watching the show were all joyfully smiling.
"See, anyone who reaches Nascent Soul is full of suffering."
"Hahaha, Nascent Soul is when the suffering starts." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Look quickly, the best part is coming!"
—The Sect Leader took out a... bamboo basket.
Solemnly handed it to Li Ye:
"You know our sect provides free meals, and they must be enriched with Spiritual Power and be pleasing in color, aroma, and taste."
"Every True Man who achieves Nascent Soul has to take responsibility for twenty years."
"And now it’s your turn."
"Remember, if possible, try not to use the sect’s Spirit Stone reserves, and after twenty years, you will be rated, and you will receive benefits then."
This time Li Ye’s expression was even more painful.
Meals for the sect’s disciples?
Isn’t this more troublesome than feeding a hundred small worlds?
And he can’t use the sect’s Spirit Stones.
Am I really supposed to feed the sect’s disciples for twenty years, is this true?
However, the pain was not over.
After giving out the basket, the Sect Leader then took out a lunch box:
"Here you go."
"Also, every solar term requires a four-season food box to be sent to random cultivators of the realm."
This is manageable.
Li Ye was already feeling a bit numb.
So after Nascent Soul, I came here to suffer, didn’t I?
He deeply sighed, looking at these items.
He straightforwardly asked:
"Is there more?"
The Sect Leader winked at Li Ye with a mischievous smile.
"There is more."
This time he looked towards Jianmu.
He cupped his hands towards Jianmu, "Ancestor, sorry to trouble you."
Jianmu nodded, then said to Li Ye:
"You must ascend to the sky and become the sun above."
His tone was plain, as if he had rehearsed it a thousand times.
Then Li Ye felt he seemed to return to... the Golden Core stage.
He saw a Golden Core suddenly appear before him.
The surface of the Pill even had virtual images of worlds.
Perfectly round without blemish.
Emitting a brilliance that could illuminate the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
"Ah? Is this my Golden Core?" Li Ye was dumbstruck, he actually felt the wonderful sensation of being connected by blood to the Golden Core as if it were his own.
Except it lacked the most essential spirituality from him.
To put it, it’s an extremely top-quality material.
"Yes."
"It’s your Golden Core, yet it’s not your Golden Core, just a trace of Tao resonance you left before."
Jianmu explained, "This Tao resonance belonging to you will be sent by me to the Chaotic Outer Domain, turning into a real sun, collecting everything from the Chaotic Outer Domain for you.
If you wish, it can also become the sun of a world, and then you’ll be the only deity of that world."
As he said this, Jianmu waved his hand.
That Golden Core belonging to Li Ye transformed into a meteor, flying straight towards the Chaotic Outer Domain from the Temple of All Gods, its brilliance grew brighter along the way.
When it finally reached the Chaotic Outer Domain.
It had already... turned into a sun emitting infinite golden light.
Silently heading into the depths of chaos.
In just this brief moment, Li Ye could feel almost boundless power being transmitted from the sun.
Wangshu saw Li Ye’s puzzled face and explained:
"This method is considered one of the trump cards for our Four Seasons Sect disciples."
"No one knows many of the suns in the Chaotic Outer Domain are actually our Golden Cores as long as the Golden Core exists, mana is almost endless."
Well.
This sounds like a good thing, right?
Why does the Sect Leader have such a mischievous expression on his face?
He was very puzzled.
So he looked over.
The Sect Leader had already taken out a jade scroll: "Here, this is the cost to help you retrieve the Golden Core from the years.
You must repay this!"
Li Ye: "????"
Why do I smell the scent of coercive sales?
He took the jade scroll and looked at it.
Suddenly shocked by the vast amount of spiritual materials inside.
This is no longer a price issue, but the spiritual materials inside are really attainable?
What exactly is the eyeball of a True Spirit Phoenix.
And, what on earth is the essence blood of an Integration Stage Cultivator.
The Sect Leader shrugged like a rogue and said:
"It can’t be helped."
"You don’t know the cost of living, do you?"
"Now that you’re already Nascent Soul, you must support the family."
"But don’t worry; even mine isn’t paid off yet, probably will continue to pay when we reach the Upper Realm."
Upon hearing the Sect Leader say this, what else could Li Ye say?
Even mentioning ’our family’...
No matter how strange, he has to obediently pay.
But just as he thinks about it.
The Sect Leader suddenly said:
"Your senior brother responsible for meals will leave tomorrow, so starting tomorrow, you’ll be in charge of the sect disciples’ meals."
Li Ye: "..."
I take back my gratitude.
Can I beat the Sect Leader now?
