Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 734 - 409: Candle Dragon, Spirit of the Celestial Star_2
After leaving a bit of suspense, she paused and then continued:
"As for this place, it is formed from the gaze of the Zhulong, a piece of amber he solidified in the flow of time."
"Thus, it retains the eternal properties of all things in their primal state. Some of the people you see here are my kin, while others are cultivators who have come here to extend their dwindling life spans."
"Day and night blend, the sun and moon are obscured. Now, the bright light flickers as He... is about to awaken."
These words made Li Ye feel unease suddenly wash over him.
Zhulong?
Although he had seen many deities within the sect.
But those were his family elders.
And here?
This is Zhulong we’re talking about!
His expression turned somewhat serious: "Then how do I leave this place? Will He be displeased with me or harbor... malice?"
The woman didn’t answer.
But the surrounding atmosphere obviously shifted uneasily.
Even the Golden Crow felt a tinge of unease.
It flapped its wings and moved from Lang Yue’s head to Li Ye’s shoulder, pressing its head against his neck, its body trembling slightly.
"Father."
"I feel..."
Lang Yue’s expression became exceptionally serious.
She approached Li Ye and whispered, "That person has been possessed."
Dense dark moonlight formed unbreakable arrays around them, but even these layers upon layers of arrays couldn’t bring any sense of security.
Li Ye stared at the woman.
Originally revealing no reaction, the panel suddenly activated—
[Name]: Avatar of Zhulong
[Mood]: Curious
[State]: Originally an Undying Person, now possessed by Zhulong. When Zhulong departs, she will completely disintegrate.
Zhulong is extremely dangerous.
Hmm.
This seems to be the first time the panel has alerted me to something extremely dangerous.
He took a deep breath.
Understanding that the current situation left him no room to flee or hide.
He decided to bow openly: "Junior disciple of the Four Seasons Sect, Li Ye, greets Senior Zhulong."
The "woman" did not open her eyes.
Her voice turned deep and ancient, her tone calm:
"Is Su Xing your master?"
"Yes."
Her voice turned somewhat nostalgic.
"My true form had some affinity with your grandmaster. He was an interesting person; although he practiced Daoism, he also enjoyed using Confucian methods to write our scriptures and divine techniques."
"Enough, since you are a disciple of an old friend, consider the harvest here a gift for you, and I’ll let you go. However, before you leave, I have a few things I need your help with."
This time, she didn’t speak aloud.
Instead, she directly transmitted her voice and, along with it, some... knowledge.
This knowledge made Li Ye’s expression become peculiar.
She, or rather Zhulong’s request, was to leave behind a "wonder" here that could emit both sunlight and moonlight.
Because He could not control the flow of time here.
He needed the distinction between sun and moon to help Him mark time.
Originally, these were things He could handle by merely opening and closing His eyes, but for reasons inconvenient to mention, Zhulong now couldn’t even do that basic act of opening and closing His eyes.
Thus, external assistance was required.
Otherwise, this place would remain in chaos forever. Once Li Ye took the Sun and Moon and that Ruo Wood with him, this place would quickly revert to chaos and return to its original state.
The giant beast Divine Soul from the Celestial Seedling Garden would also wear down in the repeated cultivation of the land, eventually disappearing.
Without its power to cultivate this land, it would eventually become a stagnant pool.
By then, even if Zhulong exhausted Himself with toil, it would be impossible to accomplish anything.
—On the surface, this request seemed quite normal.
But Li Ye couldn’t shake an odd feeling, as if He cared too much about this place. By rights, as an avatar of Zhulong, this little realm below should be like a pond to Him. Why does He care so much?
Is it because Zhulong’s main body instructed it this way?
That would make it even more intriguing.
Why does the great deity Zhulong in the Upper Realm also care so much about this place?
Linking it back to what Senior Li Xi once told him, he couldn’t help but feel that something in the Upper Realm might change, but that is truly a place where countless Immortal Gods reside. What kind of change could influence so many Immortal Gods?
His thoughts raced, but he remained calm on the outside.
Determined to inquire earnestly once he could contact the sect.
Then he agreed: "Okay, I will do my utmost."
The "woman" nodded satisfactorily: "Then I shall leave. If you need something, seek it yourself. This chaos has birthed some fine objects.
As long as you can accomplish creating that wonder for me, whatever you obtain will be yours."
With that said,
Zhulong’s consciousness withdrew and disappeared.
And after the woman’s body limply collapsed to the ground, it wasn’t long before it turned into a wisp of black ash.
Her very existence had relied on Zhulong’s power.
Being observed and possessed by Zhulong had certainly drained her life completely.
In fact, since the moment Zhulong descended, her life had been counting down, and even Li Ye was powerless.
Zhulong’s power was not something as simple as time; even Jianmu could not interfere.
If Wei Qingye were here, there might have been some way.
Li Ye sighed, looking at the black ash, then buried it into the soil, creating an unnamed marker.
Then he began to prepare to "create" the spiritual object that Zhulong needed.
The thing needed to emit both sunlight and moonlight, and it had to shine eternally. Li Ye could only think of using the numerous Ruo Woods, and perhaps seeking out the Chaoqing Realm could yield some results.
Transforming sunlight into moonlight wasn’t hard.
The challenge was extending spiritual power indefinitely and endlessly.
He ruminated deeply.
Casually molding some models in his hands.
Trying to see if they might work.
After seeing Zhulong depart, Lang Yue and the Golden Crow continued to shine brilliantly in their own way. However, both feared for Li Ye’s "fragile" form encountering danger, frequently glancing his way.
How should I put it?
Dog-like concern.
He closed his eyes and began to ponder.
The Heart Soil emerged around him, and the Sun and Moon Ring twirled, swiftly extracting potentially useful spirit beasts or spirit plants to see if they could be bound or held any specific needs.
At this moment, he truly felt fortunate to have accessed some spiritual objects from the sect’s treasury after reaching the Nascent Soul stage; otherwise, even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice.
Time passed slowly this way.
When Li Ye finally made a bit of headway.
At the celestial position buried within the soil, the soil suddenly arched upward.
Soon after,
a beam of radiance arose from the soil.
Li Ye watched that direction.
Unexpectedly, a tiny bird appeared.
Its body bore feathers like star-forged iron, gleaming with a metallic sheen, and it had only one eye, in which a star was embedded.
The star continually rotated,
emitting beams of light.
Every beam that fell left behind a feather.
They seemed useful.
But the time was too short to truly ascertain their purpose.
Yet the panel still activated—
[Name]: Celestial Starbird
[Mood]: Chaos
[State]: A spiritual object grown from a celestial star sown in the chaotic soil enriched by the Celestial Seedling Garden. It possesses the power of [Celestial Star: Dawn] and has a certain chance to bestow a feather upon those who see it during its flight through chaos, granting them insight.
The little bird gazed at Li Ye, then promptly cast a feather toward him.
The metallic feather shot directly into Li Ye’s forehead.
It seemed inelegant.
Yet at the instant the feather embedded itself,
it was like a starburst breaking through the obsidian night. Li Ye’s already clear mind became even clearer, as the scattered starlight, akin to an explosion of inspiration, instantly led him to conceive of some rather intriguing ideas.
Oh? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
This is quite impressive.
It actually provided inspiration.
What kind of unimaginable power might other stars possess?
