Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 741 - 413: I Have Three Gifts

Tao Furnace Realm, Four Seasons Sect.

The Nascent Soul Ceremony for Li Ye was held within the Four Seasons Grotto Heaven—it was a special grotto heaven that usually remains hidden above the mountain gate of the Four Seasons Sect, yet sustains the flow of seasons throughout the Eastern Domain.

Even the granaries of the Four Seasons Sect are established within this grotto heaven.

Logically, for every disciple who achieves Nascent Soul, the Four Seasons Sect would plan a Nascent Soul Ceremony, but just as fingers vary in length, the level of the ceremony naturally differs.

Li Ye’s ceremony is considered the most top-tier.

Besides the cultivators coming from the other six major sects upon hearing the news, there were loose cultivators or major powers from the myriad worlds, and for this, the Four Seasons Sect even opened countless temporary spatial portals.

A multitude of invitations were sent out, inviting all cultivators willing to attend Li Ye’s Nascent Soul Ceremony—without any screening, regardless of Human Race or other races, Righteous Path or Demonic Cultivator, as long as they wished to celebrate, they were welcome.

Upon receiving this message,

the smaller sects outside the six major ones were secretly clicking their tongues.

So many people.

If among them were some with ulterior motives, or simply just the sheer number of people, organizing wouldn’t be easy.

One can imagine how many cultivators would come given such a grand occasion.

It’s naturally a testament to the governance capability of the Four Seasons Sect, but the larger the event, the more it demonstrates the comprehensive strength of a sect. Though the Four Seasons Sect isn’t usually low-key, when they are high-profile, they are remarkably so.

Indeed.

Even Mr. Sui, who came to attend the celebration, exclaimed in amazement:

"For this, did you use ’Infinite’?"

His clear eyes were fixed on the distance—that was an endless expanse of sky and earth, above the Heavenly Dome and the earth were countless cave mansions, each extraordinarily splendid, yet not overly ostentatious.

The cultural heritage and artistic accomplishments accumulated by the Four Seasons Sect over tens of thousands of years were enough to ensure that each of these nearly infinite cave mansions was different, at least not so similar that they would cause fatigue upon first glance.

The one responsible for receiving him was the shrine maiden of Celestial Years Silver Vein.

She was the sole believer of the Celestial Years ginkgo—naturally, she knew the relationship between "Mr. Sui" and her own deity.

So there was nothing that couldn’t be said.

She replied, "Yes, this place is known as the Infinite Grotto Heaven, and it is the first and only fruit birthed by the Lord Jianmu for itself."

The fruit of Jianmu...

Mr. Sui squinted his eyes.

In many legends, Jianmu cannot merely be described as the "World Tree"; it is even more special, termed as "Chaos" or "Universe."

But in such a case.

"Jianmu would then be unable to possess a ’descendant’ of its own."

The shrine maiden acted as if she didn’t hear it.

She continued leading Mr. Sui, who hadn’t returned to his hometown for a long time, on a tour, encountering many cultivators who came to attend the ceremony along the way, and even some mortals invited to attend.

These mortals were all wearing the jade pendants of the Four Seasons Sect, which would ensure that even when faced directly with a Nascent Soul, they wouldn’t experience any pressure.

The atmosphere was one of joyous celebration.

They also saw the enormous peak, akin to a lotus platform, prepared for Li Ye within the Four Seasons Grotto Heaven.

"The time is almost here, isn’t it?"

Mr. Sui pondered curiously, "Has little friend Li Ye not returned yet? If he misses the auspicious moment, the omen wouldn’t be good."

It’s not just about the auspicious moment.

One must know there are several powerful forces from the Upper Realm present here.

Although their presence may not be specifically to attend Li Ye’s ceremony, the fact that they have come here has graced the event with a great honor.

After all, in a certain sense, they are the creators and definers of this world; there are none more noble than them. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Don’t worry, Ancestor Master Su Xing said he would bring him back."

"Let me lead you to your seat now."

"Time is almost up."

The shrine maiden remained expressionless, yet this couldn’t be seen as disrespect; it was simply a habit.

She had been chosen and had seen too many bizarre events at Celestial Years ginkgo that she was long beyond being perturbed.

Upon hearing her words,

Mr. Sui nodded, and under her guidance, he sat on an independent cloud platform—though this cloud platform had jade stone columns positioned to communicate with others.

For example, just as he sat down, a warm yet compassionate female voice arose: "So... Yang Ke Dao You, you mean to say, our Kongxiang Temple in the art of divination is inferior to your Qiongguan Mountain?"

"..."

This voice seemed to belong to a powerful figure once considered a "Bodhisattva fruit position" from the lower realm of Kongxiang Temple.

Such Bodhisattva fruit positions of the Upper Realm are certainly exceptional, almost on their threadbare path, and moving upwards becomes a Buddha, choosing past-present-future Trinity to continue deepening into Buddhist Path.

Whereas Bodhisattva fruit positions of the lower realm are merely Nascent Soul.

But never heard of grievances between Kongxiang Temple and Qiongguan Mountain, yet her temper seemed heavy, why so?

Curiously he listened further.

Yet before the people of Qiongguan Mountain could respond, Ancestor Master Lixi of the Four Seasons Sect spoke up: "Amongst yourselves are all Yang Ke Dao You, and the Buddhist Path too is a path; why such anger?

I think your cultivation may not be deep enough.

When you return to Upper Realm, shall I help you request a visit from Taishang Master?"

"?"

So why did the Lixi elder speak in such a way?

But with her saying so, the Bodhisattva fell silent.

Instead, it was Miyano from Celestial Vein Sword Mountain who chimed in: "That’s a good idea; if necessary, I could also go to request a visit from Shangqing Master."
