Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 740 - 412: Mount, Phoenix 2

A dragon turtle, whose entire body was as translucent as if formed from starlight, emerged, carrying on its back a Wenxing Bamboo representing "Megrez," appearing both sacred and noble.

"Oh?"

The master squinted his eyes.

"This creature... is quite peculiar."

"The Literary Qi pulsating with vitality from scholars and the starlight have combined to disperse some Death Qi, but to truly succeed, full Beidou Starlight is likely needed."

Wow.

As expected from the master.

He discerned its nature at a glance and even knew its shortcomings.

Li Ye gently patted the dragon turtle’s head.

Though it nudged against his palm, it also discontentedly opened its mouth to give a gentle bite, making a "woo woo" sound.

——As its owner, Li Ye hadn’t played with it for a long time, so long that even the dragon turtle felt a bit bored.

"Sorry."

"Why don’t you accompany me?"

Li Ye patted its shell, and it instantly shrank to the size of a thumbnail turtle, which Li Ye casually hung on his bracelet, swaying with his movements.

The starlight it sprinkled began to gather in front of Li Ye.

Boiling like hot water.

And then...

It released a refined fragrance of osmanthus-flavored wine, not at all pungent, but rather intoxicating, filled with rich vitality.

Soon thereafter.

The scent gradually dispersed.

Like ripples over water, it spread outward.

It unexpectedly formed a pale yellow, lustrous wine broth near the small boat, rapidly expanding outwardly, covering hundreds of acres in an instant.

"How come there’s so much?" Li Ye exclaimed, "I remember the Divine Technique mentioned hoping for a few cups would be good, but this has almost become a lake or sea!"

"The materials are special, plus I’m here." The master casually took out a gourd, filling it with the wine.

Then, he said to Li Ye, "You should fill just one gourd, the rest I’ll send to various worlds.

After all, one shouldn’t be greedy.

Moderation is best."

His words held deeper meaning, and Li Ye knew the wisdom of heeding advice, so he filled a gourd for himself too.

Once Li Ye was done.

The master waved his sleeve grandly.

The wine broth, vast as lakes and seas, split into three streams, flowing like waterfalls into the depths of chaos. Li Ye could clearly see the destinations due to some Divine Technique the master used.

The first was a world bathed in warm sunlight, full of vitality and fresh dew. When the wine fell, all creatures touched by it experienced joyous advancements, even the world itself underwent some unknowable changes.

"This is the Chaoyang World."

"An interesting world. The sun there should have transformed into a Buddha, holding the entire world in its palm, its treasured light illuminating the chaos."

"However... twisted by a Taoist Technique, which has ties to your current teacher, a senior named Jiang researched it and was deeply troubled."

Having finished, the master pointed to the second world.

This world was far from the brightness of Chaoyang, marred with numerous cracks, barely held by some forces, needing time for full restoration.

Inside, people worshiped at the Divine Temples with garlands, those enlightened shared their knowledge in the fields, teaching others.

The wheat fields expanded vastly.

Soon they would be golden seas, wheat fragrance everywhere.

Amidst this, wine cascaded from the Heavenly Dome, transforming into wine springs upon hitting the ground, nourishing it and offering passersby restorative nectar.

"This world bears immense potential."

"Deities once ruled everything here, using a Demon Path to identify and eliminate nonbelievers."

"Now the Deities have returned the world to the people, their Spiritual Power nourishing it, promising you delightful surprises.

Perhaps you should establish your Land God Temple here soon."

The master seemed to know everything.

Li Ye understood he was being guided.

The first two worlds already so fascinating.

What would the third be like?

"Do you want a mount?" The master patted his head, a fond look in his eyes: "A very beautiful, elegant mount."

"I do."

Li Ye nodded honestly.

To date, he had no proper mount.

Of course, he wanted one.

Could this third world be related to a mount?

"Then, here’s a mount for you." The master pointed to the third waterfall.

The waterfall fell into a world where Tribulation Fire rose, snowflakes drifted, and a giant tree stood at the center, its roots maintaining floating islands and lands in a strange cosmic world.

"Sui Ke World?" Li Ye wondered, thinking the master intended to give him a mount...

"A Phoenix." The master gazed at that world, blinking, "A fascinating world, where a phoenix predicted the Tribulation Fire’s arrival, remaining with a sliver of world’s undiminished Spiritual Power.

Pefectly aiding my Divine Technique.

Alas.

Long ago, I wonder how much strength remains?"

With ethereal grace, he extended his hand.

Sword-like fingers.

Softly commanded: "Quick!"

Then with the wine waterfall, brilliant spiritual lights filled the scene, five-colored spiritual lights forming intricate Spirit Patterns, creating in the void a...

Phoenix.

Indeed.

A Phoenix was directly created.

Upon creation, it spread its wings, flying towards them, its tail feathers trailing lavish spiritual lights, its call crisp and resounding, with a few flaps it breached spatial barriers.

Landing directly in front of Li Ye and the master. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

[Name]: Phoenix · Sui Ke

[Mood]: Curious, joyous

[Status]: Created by the "Su Xing" Mediation Creation Technique, the Phoenix was once a Divinity Transformation-level phoenix, now with Golden Core abilities.

It will only recognize Li Ye as its master.

[Bindable]: Dragon.

The Phoenix seemed to observe Li Ye, and after a short time, it shrank in size, cuddling against Li Ye as if endearingly playful like a child.

Its feathers felt warm and fluffy, like a newborn chick’s down.

Li Ye originally fond of such Spirit Beasts, its adorable and likable nature indeed warranted special affection.

Hence, Li Ye cradled it, feeling the Phoenix’s warmth, their Spiritual Powers blending and resonating, imprinting his special mark.

At this juncture, the master nodded in satisfaction, saying:

"Not bad."

"Here, it’s yours now."

"In its future and past, throughout all times, it shall be your mount—now is the time to test the third Divine Technique of the East Monarch’s style."

The third Divine Technique...

Li Ye paused, seeing the Phoenix clinging to him like a child, entirely devoid of an aloof, cold demeanor.

"Alright."

"Disciple shall give it a try."

Saying that.

He closed his eyes.

Silently reciting the Dharma Method and Technique.

Gently tapping its head.

Spiritual Light formed a chain, constructing an ancient, grand "chariot"—with the Phoenix becoming the "horse" to pull it.

It gazed blankly at the chains and chariot now upon itself, utterly bewildered, unsure what to do next.
