Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 737 - 411: East Monarch’s Method, Shooting Sirius
Then.
They all disappeared into the chaos beyond Li Ye’s sight.
Just like that celestial bird before.
Only a thin thread of connection remained, allowing Li Ye to search for them when he thought of it, and nothing more.
"Alas."
"How did you deal with farewells back then?"
Li Ye was somewhat sentimental.
He felt sentimental, but didn’t know why; in any case, this Ancestor Master Su Xing gave him a very special feeling, a strange sensation of wanting to confide in him.
"Hmm?" Ancestor Master Su Xing lifted his head and smiled: "It’s simple. When you can travel to the North Sea in the morning and the Cangwu Mountains by evening, distance will no longer be an obstacle.
You can see whomever you wish, even if it means eating seventy or eighty meals a day, it doesn’t matter.
Want to learn? I’ll teach you."
Li Ye really wanted to learn.
But he already had too many things to learn right now.
Mediation Creation, flowers blooming in an instant, bringing the dead back to life, the remaining Chapters of the "Nine Songs," and the Four Seasons Divine Canon just given by the Ancestor Master...
"I’ll write it down for you," Ancestor Master Su Xing stood up, "Alas, if you don’t learn and I don’t teach, when will this legacy spread throughout the world?
Speaking of which, I met your little disciple before I came.
His bloodline is really intriguing."
Ah?
Zhao He?
"Neither I nor the elders noticed his unique bloodline, so what kind of bloodline is it, that it can remain hidden for so long?"
Li Ye was pondering.
For it to remain hidden so long, could it be a pure ancient bloodline?
"Because he is of the Human Race."
Ancestor Master Su Xing was holding up a star by then.
That star, or rather a Spiritual Object exceedingly like a jellyfish, was emitting circles of veil-like mist at dusk. Within the mist, Li Ye felt a bit drowsy, even wanting to sleep on the spot.
"He is the purest of the Human Race."
"With many bloodlines mixing and returning to their roots within him, he can cultivate any Cultivation Technique, master all Five Elements, succeed in Body Forging, and is capable of both Buddhist and Confucian teachings."
"This is the true purpose of the Mountain and River Realm."
A flash of Spiritual Light crossed Li Ye’s drowsy mind.
Astonished, he said, "Is that truly the purpose of the Mountain and River Realm?"
"Yes."
"The Mountain and River Realm was originally left to preserve the purity of the Human Race. Not many know this, only the Sect Leader and a few others are aware."
"You know we’ve always been seeking various possibilities. The Tao Furnace Realm thrives with Immortal Dao, making it hard for other possibilities to emerge.
Hence the Mountain and River Realm.
Romantic ties and heroic passions, they are all very intriguing."
Indeed, it was quite intriguing.
If it could intrigue Ancestor Master Su Xing, that’s truly something.
"But it seems you intend to distance yourself from the Mountain and River Realm. Is it really just because of that disciple led astray by the Demon Path?" Ancestor Master Su Xing asked.
"....."
"No." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"I should say I’m worried I might have personal motives too."
Li Ye did not conceal, but spoke directly: "I can also be moved by heroes and beauties, and with just a motion of my fingers, I can turn the world upside down.
In my Cultivation, I seek to follow my heart and nature, and I’m unwilling to retreat into the mountains to become a true Immortal, so in the end, humanity within me prevails.
Ancestor Master, can you teach me?"
This indeed had troubled him before.
The path to Immortality had long been straightforward for him; only when it came to facing people did he still have some doubts.
Or perhaps it wasn’t doubt.
More like he wasn’t quite adept at dealing with such matters.
So he simply chose not to engage.
But hearing what Ancestor Master said, it seemed interacting with people was quite important, so much so that he had to consider it.
"There’s nothing much to teach," Ancestor Master Su Xing shook his head and said: "The more you care, the more errors you will make. What’s more, many matters in the world are due to our Cultivators’ interference.
Otherwise, where do you think all those mundane Cultivation Techniques and manuals come from? They’re mostly the work of Cultivators.
What do you think Cultivation really is?"
He seemed to be asking, but did not wait for Li Ye’s answer.
Then he murmured to himself:
"The imaginings of mortals about our limitless power as Cultivators, that’s the root of Cultivation."
After saying this, he stopped discussing the matter.
He simply gestured for Li Ye to come over and dig with him, somehow producing a small hoe no different from a child’s toy.
Li Ye readily helped out.
Soon, they dug out all the stars.
But no matter how he looked, these stars still seemed unripe.
"Is it okay to dig them out like this?" Li Ye asked curiously.
"Of course," Su Xing explained: "They mustn’t absorb too much primal chaos Spiritual Power here, or they won’t adapt to the external environment.
Besides, it’s time we left.
Staying here too long does you no good.
After all...
This place is just a piece of amber left whimsically by Zhulong. There are many such ambers, though not all are so peaceful; be cautious when you encounter them in the future."
Oh?
If Ancestor Master says to be cautious,
how dangerous could it be?
Li Ye’s gaze was curious, simply curious, but Ancestor Master Su Xing mistook it for a desire for adventure and said helplessly:
"When I leave, I’ll pluck a star to reforge your Lifebound Magical Treasure; at least it will have a bit of the sun’s might, so even if you seek death, you’ll be saved."
Ah?
Such a benefit?
Following the principle of not letting a good thing slip away.
Li Ye immediately nodded and smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Ancestor Master!"
