Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel

Chapter 823 53: It Must Be an Illusion (2)

"Your heart will become like the river sand here, eroded over countless days by the flowing water, leaving only the tide rising from the depths of your heart. There's nowhere to escape, nowhere to escape..."Li Ye quietly watched it.

Then he grabbed it and shook it in front of his eyes.

"Cheep cheep cheep!"

The poor little creature got so dizzy from being shaken that even its tongue stuck out, and stars filled its eyes as it quickly begged for mercy.

The other companions looked at it being scolded like this, unable to hide the schadenfreude on their faces.

Serves you right for pretending to be a spiritual master.

Didn't you know that Cultivators hate spiritual masters and being prevented from pretending themselves?

After shaking it for a good while, Li Ye finally put it down.

He smacked his lips and said:

"Keep pretending and you're really going to get beaten."

"You little guys."

"If I can't protect you, I'd rather turn into Dao!"

He was very domineering.

But this is an excellent tradition of the Four Seasons Sect.

They are all farmers, and when it comes to protecting and caring for their farmland, there's no need for much explanation. If anyone dares to touch their land, they'll definitely pick up the pitchfork and fight for their lives.

All of Li Ye's Spirit Pets are in his fields, and he absolutely will not allow these little fellows to have any problems.

But he didn't see it.

Several beavers exchanged a look.

There was very obvious reluctance in their gaze.

But it passed in an instant.

When they raised their heads again, it was still the familiar look of admiration and affection that Li Ye knew.

"Cheep cheep!"

They led Li Ye onward.

Soon arriving at the end of the palace, here...

You could see the silt filtered by the dam.

Every grain of silt seemed to contain an extremely tiny yet undeniable Spiritual Light.

[Name]: Drowning Cosmic Seed

[Mood]: Uneasy

[Status]: Seeds formed by the fusion of spiritual power from every destroyed world's remains accumulated over millennia in the River of Cosmic Light, theoretically able to grow into mixed-type worlds.

Civilizations of the former remaining world will collide and sprout in the new world.

But they lack the most crucial Spiritual Object.

[Bindable]: Spirit of No Spirit.

Alas.

Even my beloved panel has started speaking in riddles.

Spirit of No Spirit.

Could it mean spirituality without Spiritual Qi?

Having used the panel for so long and being quite knowledgeable, he could certainly guess a thing or two.

Isn't that related to "The Rite Soul" I've been diligently studying?

But what use are these things at all?

The heritage of destroyed civilizations sprouts within...

He thought about it for a moment.

Looking at the silt still being filtered nearby:

"I entered your body, yet you refuse to welcome me."

"Clearly I've worked so hard for you, even allowing my beloved beavers to suffer in solitude, so what are you hiding from?"

"My friend, my dear friend, the endpoint of all these rivers, the beginning of beginnings..."

His words were not yet finished, and he even felt a bit like laughing.

That once-familiar, grayish figure belonging to the River of Cosmic Light appeared not far away.

This guy might have been disgusted by Li Ye's words; anyway, the aura around was terribly bad.

The voice was also very cold.

Completely unlike the Cosmic Light Spirit who once wanted to sink together with Li Ye.

Tsk.

This guy.

If not for my beavers, could you survive here?

Oh, right!

There's also the Taiyi Suffering Celestial Lord.

And now you're suddenly acting all aloof?

Whether or not there are tears is unknown, but sadness has entirely vanished.

He approached actively.

Gently embraced the Cosmic Light Spirit.

Softly saying, "I've come to see you, have you really not missed me? My dear friend."

Now the unease completely became the Cosmic Light Spirit's.

Where had it ever encountered such a scene?

Even when someone barely reached the River of Cosmic Light, they would never have done this; they feared It, feared the overwhelming power that could drown Immortal Gods.

Someone as bold as Li Ye was the first.

Should also be the last.

The Cosmic Light Spirit felt Li Ye's goodwill transmitted through the Emotion Song, tried using the "Tao Furnace Realm official language" It had learned to say it's okay.

Even tried hard to smile a little.

With the beavers' help, It had been put a little at ease; although it was just a little, as long as there was hope, It wouldn't despair.

The tone also softened:

"These silts do not come from me."

"But left by a truly powerful being capable of deciding everything."

"The world changes every moment, gets bigger and bigger, but the total number of resources never changes, so he wanted to use a strand of my torn soul back then to form a filter."

"He wanted these worlds to all be converted to serve the Human Race, completely disregarding other species."

It paused here for a long, long time.

Suddenly.

Picked up a speck of dust.

Shouldn't call it a Drowning Cosmic Seed...

"But he failed."

The Cosmic Light Spirit's voice sounded like reciting something, yet with a nonchalant attitude thinking there's help anyway.

"If such a world were to grow, there absolutely mustn't be any Spiritual Qi within."

"Not a shred can be there."

"If there's even a bit of Spiritual Qi, the remnants of internal civilizations will fight one another, ultimately dragging the world into the embers of destruction."

Wait!

Li Ye suddenly interrupted it: "Are you passing on the thoughts of some senior to me? This can't be your own words, right?

Also, what does he have to do with the Divine Techniques I'm supposed to learn?"

The Eight Trigrams are certainly intriguing.

But this guy really talks nonsense.

Might even drop to Heaven and Earth Creation next.

Old veteran does know a lot of things indeed.

Cosmic Light River Spirit was stunned by Li Ye's words.

Seemed to ponder.

After a long while, finally responded:

"Exactly."

"I've tried seeking methods, searching for spaces utterly devoid of Spiritual Qi, only to find I can't locate any."

"Spiritual Qi is the foundation of everything, like the water in the vast ocean, you simply can't find an ocean without water."

Here the Cosmic Light River Spirit paused again.

This time it seemed to represent Its own consciousness:

"But you are different."

"I know you aren't of this world, you should be able to imagine what a world devoid of Spiritual Qi looks like; thus you can create a world completely."

"Or as Su Xing always says – able to grow anything, everything is your fertile soil, and what you grow depends on skill."

Got it.

Now that you say it this way, I understand.

"Then do you wish for me to plant these seeds to sprout?" He looked at the Cosmic Light River Spirit, earnestly asking, "To me, it shouldn't be difficult, but are you willing?"

I?

Why ask if I'm willing?

Does my willingness matter?

This was something the Cosmic Light River Spirit had never experienced.

Even with Its ineffable "experience", at this moment it was still unable to comprehend Li Ye's meaning.

See, this fellow is already a bit dumbfounded.

With Tribulation Qi washing over and tears flowing, Li Ye sighed.

Thinking his mood right now was truly a bit whimsical.

He actively stepped forward, patting the Cosmic Light River Spirit's shoulder, inviting:

"I have quite a large courtyard."

"If you come, I'll reserve you a corner, how about it?"

This clearly touched the blind spot of the Cosmic Light River Spirit; It instinctively felt this was good, yet didn't know how to respond.

What's a courtyard?

It tried hard to search Its memories.

Li Ye wouldn't wait for It, again patted: "Are you willing?"

"Would you like to?"

"... I'm willing."

The Cosmic Light River Spirit learned to play it cool, without being taught.

Anyway, there shouldn't be any issues.

"My dear friend, welcome to join my courtyard." Li Ye blinked, looking at the Cosmic Light River Spirit as if gazing at sizzling grilled meat.

Beside them.

Five beavers stared in disbelief at the scene.

They thought they'd followed Li Ye for hundreds of years.

Yet Li Ye actually...

Actually had this side to him?

Why does it look so much like a scam?

It must be an illusion.

An illusion...
