Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 648 - 366: Even Child’s Play Myths Are Still Myths (Part 2)
Should I say, as expected of a disciple of the Four Seasons Sect.
Even under these circumstances, he still remains calm and composed.
Or perhaps he has already given up entirely.
What else can be said at this point?
"Senior Brother Yunxi." Li Ye extended his hand to burn away the spider silk entwined around him with the glow of the Treasure Lotus Lamp, saying:
"You should live well."
"At the very least, you should atone."
"Because even though they are brothers, they are actually your offspring. Our elders are quite reliable. As a father, you can’t just ignore them."
"As for the sect... I can help you negotiate."
These words left Yunxi stunned.
He was captured by the cultivators of the Gnostic School, who even impersonated him to send messages to the sect, yet Li Ye was willing to negotiate for him?
Wait, are you a follower of the Compassionate Medicine King? 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Although our Four Seasons Sect is kind-hearted, it wouldn’t be this benevolent, right?
"Why?"
Having escaped the bindings of the spider silk, Yunxi asked with confusion: "Sending me to the Punishment Hall is the best choice. Otherwise, who knows if I colluded with the Gnostic School?"
To this, Li Ye simply said, "Rest assured, it won’t happen."
——He has already inserted his Jianmu into the world’s source, allowing him to monitor the world everywhere, even during baths, with the emotion sensing from the Emotion Song.
If the cultivators from the Gnostic School can still cause trouble under such surveillance, he might as well return to growing sweet potatoes.
As for the reason Yunxi must remain here.
Perhaps he just wants an extra layer of insurance—he has seen the information returned by the tribulation soldiers, revealing heinous crimes in many places that have left the dynasty in utter chaos.
If not for the suppression by Nascent Souls and other powerful beings, various uprisings would have erupted long ago.
Yet, even so, too much Tribulation Qi has gathered between heaven and earth, and it’s not easy to dissipate.
He admits he doesn’t have the ability to govern a dynasty, so naturally, he needs to recruit a suitable candidate, and Senior Brother Yunxi seems quite good.
Driven by guilt, Yunxi is sure to be devoted, plus his identity can serve as a check on the emperor while atoning and assisting him, saving him a lot of trouble.
Eventually, he could send disciples interested in learning governing skills here for training, gradually replacing key officials, and Yunxi Dynasty might just bear the Li surname.
He’s not handling this mess purely for charity—the environment here is extremely conducive to cultivating fungus, guaranteed to produce top-quality Earth Emotion Fungus.
This is the "price" he demands.
Yunxi, sent to guard a world, wasn’t a fool, and quickly understood Li Ye’s intention. Rather than have future emperors all be his sons, it was better for Li Ye to take over.
"Alright."
"Then I’ll humbly accept my junior’s kindness."
He respectfully cupped his hands to Li Ye.
The latter nonchalantly waved: "I still have to report this matter to the sect. As the one who experienced it, you must have deep feelings. Write clearly the cause and effect."
"I’ll submit it then."
"...Alright."
Considering he must write down his foolish acts and submit them for archival by Master Celestial Years, made him uncomfortable, wishing he could just go to the Punishment Hall.
But with Li Ye’s word, he could only nod.
Then he saw Li Ye off.
After watching Li Ye’s silhouette disappear, he stretched, realizing there were truly no forbidden techniques placed—it was with complete trust that Li Ye left him here.
Is this the confidence of a genius?
Truly confident, strolling among the myriad stars of the Celestial Domain.
...
After returning to the sect, Li Ye sat down to catch his breath, before starting to handle matters requiring his direct attention.
Simply put.
His territory now spans ten thousand acres of sea, densely packed with millions of cultivators, with more continually arriving, each spending Spirit Stones.
The daily Spirit Stone receipts amount to tens of billions.
Though most of these Spirit Stones go into infrastructure development, these facilities form the enduring foundation of this sea, meaning it’s far from a loss.
Moreover, numerous cultivators seek to meet him.
Among them are well-known individuals, like Tianshan Snow Elder, Feiyu Immortal, and Lotus Light Resident...
All late-stage Golden Core cultivators—just one step from Nascent Soul.
The numbers are overwhelming, even making Li Ye feel ignoring them would seem too aloof.
Sometimes it’s necessary to show oneself.
He’s not someone who shies away due to appearances, the only concern is whether he’d be offered ten or twenty maidservants or hundreds of beautiful concubines...
"Sigh."
"Might as well tease the beavers."
"Celestial Dao, maybe lend me a bit of the source for some fun?"
He looked up and murmured to the sky.
"..."
The response was a radiant beam descending from the sky, like a pillar connecting heaven and earth, striking before him—it was clearly filled with terrifying Spiritual Power, its mere appearance distorting the surrounding space.
Hmm, it seems Celestial Dao truly favored him.
This source given so readily.
Li Ye, delighted, promptly took out thirteen "Treasure Lotus Lamp" seeds and immersed them in the source of Celestial Dao, while using Heart Power to construct a temporary small "world" around them.
By doing so, as long as the beavers repeatedly enact the Treasure Lotus Lamp story within this small world, they are bound to obtain a simplified version of the Treasure Lotus Lamp.
Despite how odd it seemed for beavers to split mountains and save mothers.
But, as long as results are achieved... nothing’s wrong with it.
So he quickly gathered the beavers, pointing to the small world he had crafted with "Huashan", "Celestial Court", and "Qianyuan Peak’s Golden Light Cave", saying:
"Just perform as I say."
"After it’s done, there will be a reward for you."
The beavers: "..."
Especially the five who had followed him from the start, almost Golden Core, showing human-like bewilderment and slight disdain.
Split mountains to save mothers?
Flowers bloom for you?
What on earth is this...
Since gaining intelligence, they’ve stopped playing such childish games!
Despite saying this.
Upon nodding earnestly, they immediately began debating who would play "Shen Xiang" and who would be the cold-faced "Queen Mother".
The competition was intense, pulling tails and biting included.
Li Ye sat nearby, holding a teacup.
Showing no change of expression.
Yet he was slightly apprehensive—this felt too childish, and wouldn’t this draw the attention of true seniors?
How did the Gnostic School manage to shield against interference from senior figures?
He pondered this as he sipped tea.
Watching as the beavers clamorously enacted a... beaver version of the Treasure Lotus Lamp.
He felt his eyes were nearly blinded.
Not because the beavers performed poorly, quite the opposite, they were deeply immersed, with even the beaver playing "Shen Xiang" almost letting its passion lead to a confrontation with the "Queen Mother".
Yet it was precisely because of this, he found the situation absolutely ridiculous.
Even more absurd was that upon finishing their performance, a seed embedded in the source of Celestial Dao grew into a lamp very much resembling an authentic Treasure Lotus Lamp.
Which was eagerly caught by a beaver that had been waiting, squealing in delight, forgetting even human speech.
This scene left Li Ye unsure whether to laugh or feel complex emotions.
Grateful it was the Treasure Lotus Lamp.
If it were another myth, like Nuwa repairing the heavens...
He gasped, tightly clutching his teacup, remaining silent.
