Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 602 - 343: The Stick and the Carrot Together
Just like the Tao Furnace Realm.
Hopefully, in the future, you will no longer need to rely on my Divine Power, but truly rely on the skills of the Immortal Family to maintain its existence amidst chaos; only then can it be considered truly perfect.
And I’m not hiding it from you, the Sect Leader is already planning to replace the foundation and spatial barriers of the Eastern Domain. If this method is feasible, it should be promoted to other sects."
Li Ye was stunned upon hearing this.
Replacing the world’s "foundation"...
Alright, such a matter is indeed beyond his current capabilities — replacing the root that Jianmu has grown on for ten thousand years without affecting the Eastern Domain, truly easier said than done.
It’s practically no different from changing the veins of the entire body.
With his current knowledge, he doesn’t even know where to begin.
"May I boldly ask how the progress is?" Li Ye was a bit curious after all.
"The progress is quite smooth." Upon mentioning this, Ancestor Jianmu seemed quite happy, grinning, "I estimate in a few thousand more years, I can rest well. By then I will transform into a small tree, to a place none of you can ever find me, to have a good rest.
Enjoying the wind and rain, sunrise and sunset every day.
That’s truly a beautiful thing."
He wasn’t sure if it was a mere illusion.
Li Ye suddenly felt a fleeting trace of fatigue emanating from Ancestor Jianmu.
Suppressing his doubts, he sincerely said, "Then may you, Ancestor, be relieved of your burden soon and have a good rest."
"Mm." Ancestor Jianmu waved his hand, "Then I shall leave first. Your method is not bad, consider documenting it, and by the time, improve it try replacing Celestial Light Cloud Leaf and my influence with other species of trees."
With those words, He left.
After seeing Him off, Li Ye retracted his gaze, then directly transformed and entered the Treasure Lotus Village.
Looking at this serene and quiet, yet stained with quite a bit of blood Immortal family’s paradise, he felt a slight sense of sentiment.
"Having enjoyed the offerings of this treasured land, without needing to busy themselves with mundane trifles, why collude with outsiders and do such foolish things?"
He spoke without expecting anyone to answer.
Yet, unexpectedly.
Among the Immortal Family standing behind Di Lianlian, an old man actually spoke up: "Because of the promise of the Gnostic School — they said we, the Immortal Family, should naturally enjoy the endless offerings of mortals and hold positions in their Celestial Court.
Yet, confined by the Four Seasons Sect, we can only stay here each day, waiting for decay.
So naturally, some youngsters have developed ill thoughts."
Hearing this, Li Ye looked at the brave old man, squinting his eyes, and said, "Bai Yanhe, I know your grandson Bai Shunfeng, that Yang Ke Dao You is willing to damage his own foundation for mortals.
That is truly respectable."
That Bai Xian, namely the old gentleman Bai Yanhe, puffed out his chest with pride, "That child indeed did well. Can he not then enjoy the offerings of men and even achieve a Divine Position?"
"Indeed."
Li Ye chuckled, "So, what do you plan, Yang Ke Dao You? If you wish to continue staying here, I grant you the enjoyment of Treasure Lotus Village’s offerings, simply requiring you to do some things for me.
If you wish not to stay, I can issue you proof of departure, and the vast world outside always holds places for you to build a meritorious establishment.
If you have the ability, catch the eye of a Deity, and receiving the offerings of mortals, enthronement as a Deity is not difficult.
Within one incense duration, you must make a decision."
He casually tossed an incense stick.
The small stick of incense, once planted on the ground, began to burn, with smoke swirling upward at a steady pace.
"I’ll go out and check on my grandson."
Bai Yanhe was first to respond, taking the Jade Talisman Li Ye prepared, heading out of the village.
Before leaving, he even turned to wave at a few old friends, "You all had better go out and explore too, staying at home too long will eventually make you mold, succumbing to wild imaginations!"
A number of the Immortal Family felt tempted upon hearing his words.
Thus.
One after another, they took the Jade Talismans prepared by Li Ye and left, with up to a hundred people — note that the remaining Immortal Family here totaled about two hundred.
This meant over half chose to leave.
This, actually, was within Li Ye’s expectations — with the death of the rabbit arises the fox’s sorrow, no matter the mistakes made by those Immortals, having been together from day to day, certainly there are feelings here.
Being unwilling to stay is quite normal.
Anyway, after leaving here, adapting to life outside requires significant efforts, knowing how strictly the outside world manages Immortal Family.
Even with his Jade Talisman, it’s the same.
Estimating that when they fail to adapt, they’ll reminisce about Treasure Lotus Village, and returning might be rather troublesome.
It depends on their sincerity by then.
Anyhow, Li Ye stands invulnerable in any case.
Ultimately.
Lasting only fifty or so Immortal Family members stayed.
Among these Immortal Family, some truly love their homeland, unwilling to leave, and others hope Li Ye can point a way forward —
Someone like Li Ye, with Merit so brilliantly golden, able to forge a Golden Body, even receiving a shred of his aid is an immense benefit.
"It seems you, Yang Ke Dao You wish to remain here."
"Then I’ll assign you a task."
Li Ye stretched out his hand, summoning the Emotion Communication, then said, "Surely each of you possesses unique Divine Techniques, write them down here to be left for future mortals to practice these Divine Power Skills.
Moreover, if you know arrays such as Alchemy or Artifact Refining, you can also document them.
All these knowledges will be engraved into the world, and the knowledge you contribute will earn you Merit and Qi Fortune rewards."
Upon hearing this.
The Immortal Family members who had sour expressions initially brightened visibly with excitement.
Engraved into the world?
And earn Merit and Qi Fortune rewards?
They exchanged glances.
Among them, a young man with a tuft of pointed hair on his ears scrambled forward first, eagerly grasping the branch of the Emotion Communication.
"Let me go first!"
He silently recited his Divine Technique in his heart — as an Immortal Family member of the Snow Leopard clan, his greatest skills were detecting movements within a hundred miles through his pair of ears and possessing a strong ability to conceal himself.
Although stemming from his bloodline, his Cultivation has reached Golden Core, and as an Immortal Family, he long can pass these Dharma Methods down.
So the process proceeded quite smoothly.
When two Spiritual Lights formed upon the leaf of Emotion Communication, gracefully soaring towards the high sky, merging into the Jade Board crafted by Li Ye —
"Swoosh!"
A broad pillar of golden light descended from the sky.
Encasing him within.
He couldn’t help but moan, revealing his true form.
It turned out to be a whole golden body, resembling a cat, but with a short thick tail and oversized paws, a fluffy snow leopard.
He blissfully stretched therein the pillar of light, even emitting a bit of a "purr" sound.
Clearly indicating great comfort.
Otherwise, even as an Immortal Family, never would he reveal his true form under broad daylight making such a display.
Realizing it, he’s likely to die of embarrassment afterwards.
Witnessing this, the other Immortal Family members felt hopeful.
Promptly queued up orderly, ready to engrave their Divine Power Skills into the world, eager to experience the golden light illuminating themselves and how delightful that must be.
At a distance.
Seeing this, Di Lianlian couldn’t help but sigh.
This truly was the simplest yet most effective open stratagem, hitting with a stick then offering a myriad of sweet dates, not just the simply-minded Immortal Family, but even she felt itching to try it herself.
