Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Having reached a cooperative alliance and promising not to interfere in the affairs of Li Ye and the Changqing Sect, Li Ye was quite satisfied with the outcome and left without lingering.

Despite still having matters to attend to, Meng and Bai did not leave.

Bai Minghua looked at the doorway where Li Ye had left, as if he could still see that elegant and refreshing figure.

His eyes flickered. "Do you think he really killed the Shadow Moon Sect leader?"

Back then, in full view of everyone, Wu Youzhu was able to intercept You Moyan's nascent soul and take it away.

If he hadn't continued to attempt to descend to another realm, further weakening the isolation between the human realm and other worlds, it's possible that the descent techniques taught by You Moyan might have contained methods for secretly connecting with the ancient Huan realm that remained undiscovered.

The human realm may not necessarily descend into the ancient Huan realm, thus avoiding a war between the two realms.

The cauldron used by Li Ye is a treasure of the void, and the great formation is under his control. If he secretly destroys the physical body of the Shadow Moon Sect leader and moves his nascent soul, they may not be able to detect it.

It is perfectly normal to have such doubts.

"The power of that attack was terrifying. Even if Wu Youzhu had been caught in it, he would most likely have been injured, if not killed..."

Meng Jingde pondered carefully, "If his supernatural powers have truly reached such a level of subtle mastery, he could steal the sky and change the sun in the instant that such power is unleashed..."

"Even if the Shadow Moon Sect leader has truly fallen into his hands, this is the only way for now!"

"At most, when we head to the Ancient Huan Realm, we should be extra careful so that he doesn't quietly miss out on a real opportunity!"

Bai Minghua also fell silent.

Just like Meng Jingde, who hesitated for a moment when faced with Li Ye's request.

The information that the Shadow Moon Sect leader might know is indeed extremely valuable, but having already witnessed Li Ye's supernatural abilities, they really cannot force Li Ye to answer questions based on a speculation that may not be reliable.

They didn't ask any questions about whether he had intercepted the Shadow Moon Sect Leader's Nascent Soul, or even about the storage bag he left behind.

After all, they had witnessed it with their own eyes: under the crushing power of the giant cauldron, nothing was left.

If they delve too deeply into this matter, they might not be able to afford the consequences of Li Ye turning against them!

After a moment, Bai Minghua nodded expressionlessly.

"Then so be it..."

Although he said this, a strange glint flashed in his eyes and then disappeared.

However, they were forced to this point by only just entering the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. In any case, a method must be found to restrain this person.

Otherwise, if things really turn sour, the losses they will suffer will be even greater!
………………

They returned to their temporary cave dwelling and sealed it off with multiple layers of restrictions.

Li Ye first meditated and cultivated himself to fully recover his condition.

In the battle just now, although he was in overall control and broke the great formation in one fell swoop, he also used this opportunity to set a trap and kill the Shadow Moon Sect leader in one fell swoop, thus winning a great victory.

However, the mental and magical energy consumed in this process is indeed considerable.

After a good rest, I felt refreshed and full of magical power.

At this moment, Li Ye seemed to feel a sudden surge of emotion, and a faint sense of crisis emerged in his heart.

The warning from the [Intuition] was so familiar, yet he remained calm and even smiled slightly.

"Given Wu Youzhu's case, they might have guessed that I did something, but it doesn't matter if they guessed..."

"Just a guess isn't enough to make them turn against me!" "But they're used to being second only to the emperor, above millions of others, and now they're suddenly being threatened by my existence, even having to back down... naturally they'll want to find a way to deal with me to prevent me from becoming their enemy in the future!"

The most likely scenario for this to happen is when one finds an opportunity to transform into a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, Li Ye remained calm.

After reaching the late Nascent Soul stage, his various supernatural abilities advanced further, his integration and fusion became even more domineering, and with the addition of various attributes, his upper limit of strength was no longer limited by his current cultivation level.

In particular, the spiritual energy in the Ancient Huan Realm is thin and even mixed with the aura of decay, so a normal cultivator's strength will definitely be greatly reduced if they go there.

But for him, he can adapt quickly and become even more comfortable.

If they truly intend to make a move, Li Ye wouldn't mind sending them on their way, to be reborn in the ancient Huan Realm, a world where the path ahead is cut off.

After a moment's thought, he adjusted his headdress, and the Wooden God Cauldron rose up and landed in his hand.

With a flick of his fingers, beams of Taiyi Azure Wood Divine Light shot out, splitting apart in mid-air and connecting with the Wood God Cauldron to form a small array, thus sealing off the inner void and creating another layer of blockade.

Only then did he release the restraints within the cauldron, releasing a faint, extremely weak nascent soul.

Although the other party was weak, he was clear-headed. The moment he was released, he realized his situation. Although he had the instinct to escape, he did not do anything unnecessary.

Before Li Ye could make a move, he bowed directly to Li Ye and said sincerely and humbly:
"If you are willing to spare my life, I will tell you everything I know, whether it is information about the Ancient Huan Realm or the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities I possess, I will not hide anything from you!"

"Fellow Daoist is indeed flexible and adaptable, but unfortunately I don't trust you..."

Li Ye remained expressionless, his eyes filled with a sinister light, and reached out to press down directly.

"The Thousand Thoughts Divine Evolution Technique?! You..."

The nascent soul's expression changed drastically, a hint of fear creeping into its face. However, it had no chance to say anything more and was directly enveloped by the eerie light, becoming twisted in pain.

…………

"As expected of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, although the cultivation method he uses is somewhat different from ours, his spiritual strength is quite high in order to control the cultivation method of the demon bloodline..."

"Even for me, the effect of the first soul search is limited!"

As Li Ye sorted through his findings, he looked at the somewhat illusory Nascent Soul and couldn't help but sigh.

However, although much of the intelligence information was fragmented, he was able to further supplement some more hidden information based on the bone armored strongman he had previously searched.

Incidentally, I learned that the Shadow Moon Sect leader's name was Wan Mobai.

And he actually saw something about the mystical arts in his memory!

However, it is too fragmented to know whether it was a collection of the Shadow Moon Sect or a legacy of another sect.

But these alone are enough to prove the value of the Ancient Huan Realm!

Li Ye was overjoyed, looking at the Nascent Soul as if he were looking at a treasure trove with profound depth.

He then pointed his finger, and a wisp of Taiyi Azure Wood Divine Light transformed into a spiritual herb with the effect of nourishing the soul, merging into the nascent soul's body to provide it with benefits.

This way, he can withstand more soul searches and won't collapse and die before he can gain much confidence.

Next, Li Ye went into seclusion and began to repeatedly search Wan Mobai's soul. He also used the aura of Wan Mobai's nascent soul to pry open the man's storage bag. By combining the contents with his memories, he continued to explore more information about the Ancient Huan Realm.

And so, more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

He thus gained an extremely wealth of intelligence! (End of Chapter)
