Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Since he vaguely sensed a change in his fortune based on his experiences, things have become smoother for him, and Li Ye finally has more hope for planting trees.

Before this, after planting trees in this Demon Abyss for more than ten years, apart from the steady improvement of the Holy Tree Walker, there were no other noticeable reactions.

While expanding the scale of tree planting, they also explored the location of the ancient tree in the void, but found nothing.

Although he was always patient and had anticipated this from the beginning, he wasn't in a hurry.

However, even though it's not entirely confirmed whether this change is due to the expansion of the Purifying Willow, which improved the environment of parts of the Demon Abyss and brought good fortune to the world, as he suspected, it still gives him more hope.

"Hmm... not having a means to observe one's own fortune is ultimately somewhat passive, lacking a basis for judgment..."

Li Ye shook his head.

However, matters concerning fortune are still too ethereal, and without the corresponding lineage, it is difficult to even enter the gate.

He didn't force the issue, but continued planting trees to see how it would go.

With a flick of his finger, several sword energies burst forth, shattering the four demonic corpses. With a flick of his sleeve, a gust of wind arose, and much of the flesh and blood fell precisely into the pits that had already been dug around them.

He held the willow branches in his hand and planted them one by one in order. As the emerald green light flickered one after another, the area seemed to have become more vibrant.

As the Spirit Willows grew, they began to change their surroundings and improve the soil conditions. He no longer worried that the dense planting of Spirit Willows would compete with each other for scarce nutrients and affect their survival.

We can start trying to cultivate a willow grove centered around the existing Pure Spirit Willow.

As each grove takes shape, truly realizing the scale effect of the Spirit Cleansing Willow, its improvement effect on the Demon Abyss environment will be even more significant!

Whether this good fortune is merely an illusion will become clear in due time!
………………

As the days went by, the memories of Li Ye, the once-famous true disciple, gradually faded within the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Even if many people talk about Jingling Liu after seeing him, they almost regard him as a legendary figure in the sect because he has been missing for decades.

Those at the Yuan Dan level and above, through word of mouth, developed an increasingly profound impression of Li Ye.

Anyone who has traveled to the Abyss of Demons, after witnessing that desolate land, a world filled with turbid and evil energy, resembling a purgatory, will understand.

Then, suddenly, they discovered that there were still lush and verdant willow groves standing quietly in this desert.

Within its range, all kinds of turbid and evil influences cannot approach.

Entering the forest is like returning to the outside world, back to the sect, free from the torment of this demonic abyss inferno, and bringing a moment of peace.

They were all deeply moved and filled with respect!
No one could have imagined that someone could single-handedly, day after day for decades, create these oases in a region devoid of life except for twisted and mutated monsters.

They accomplished a feat that no one had done in the past tens of thousands of years, truly changing the intractable problem of the Demon Abyss that was eroding the world!
Not to mention righteous sects, even demonic cultivators benefited from this matter.

Everyone had to accept his kindness, and they even reached a consensus on protecting the Pure Spirit Willow Forest, not allowing anyone to rashly destroy it!
Even so, despite his dedication to planting the Pure Spirit Willow, Li Ye's supernatural abilities did not suffer.

Over the decades, disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect and even those from righteous sects on friendly terms with him have witnessed his actions to varying degrees. Some of those who suffered misfortunes were even saved because they happened to run into him planting trees, thus averting their calamities in an instant.

Every strike he makes is incredibly fierce, and his swordsmanship is so versatile that almost no one can defeat him in a single exchange.

As time went on, these supernatural abilities continued to improve, becoming increasingly terrifying.

Since the last time someone saw him, they had already noticed that Li Ye had quietly broken through to the mid-stage of the Yuan Dan realm, a speed that was not slow even in the Yuan Dan realm.

Considering that he spent most of his time planting trees, rather than cultivating steadily and seeking opportunities like other cultivators, it was even more astonishing...

……

"I don't have time to look for opportunities everywhere, but these opportunities will just come to me on their own!"

Li Ye spoke in a slightly strange tone.

Not far in front of him, in a unique basin-like terrain, thick, turbid, and evil energy enveloped and covered it, like some kind of demonic cave.

However, upon closer inspection, one will discover that within this unusually dense and turbid evil energy, deep within this broad basin, there is an extremely pure cluster of spiritual energy.

Even though it may seem small in number compared to the turbid and evil energy, given the vast area it occupies, the essence of spiritual energy within its core is definitely not to be underestimated.

In this state, this basin is clearly a spiritual cave that has already taken shape and suddenly revealed its form at some unknown time!
From Li Ye's observation, even for a Nascent Soul cultivator, this spiritual cave would be an invaluable source of nourishment, especially given the scarcity of high-grade spiritual herbs in this realm.

If he were to possess and refine all of them, it might be enough to push his cultivation, which had just reached the middle stage, to the point where he was close to breaking through to the late stage of the Yuan Dan realm!
After a few more years of honing one's skills and cultivation, one can smoothly complete the breakthrough. Roughly calculated, this is enough to save one decades of hard work in the cultivation of this body!
Even he, who had seized many opportunities over the years, couldn't help but have a rather interesting expression as he looked at this scene.

"Is this the reward for planting trees for me for decades, gradually improving the environment of this Demon Abyss?"

Li Ye looked up at the sky, his expression enigmatic. "But such benefits may not be so easy to obtain!"

The transformation from adversity to prosperity, forming a spiritual cave, is achieved because the external turbid and evil energy is so thick that it is almost tangible. There are also a large number of third-order demons active inside, and Li Ye even vaguely sensed the pressure of a fourth-order aura.

With such a large fighting force, he would likely need to use all his supernatural powers to wipe them out and enter their territory.

Moreover, it's no longer just a problem with monsters...

His gaze swept across the area shrouded in black and red mist, and continued to look ahead. He saw a blood cloud, seemingly filled with countless vengeful spirits roaring and raging within, streaking across the sky and hurtling towards this place.

Such power needs no further explanation; it must be the work of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
And this blood-red cloud formation is unique to the Netherworld Sect in this small cultivation world.

"Opportunity and crisis arrive simultaneously. Although there is a certain amount of good fortune, it is still not enough to affect an existence at the Nascent Soul level?"

Li Ye had already sensed the divine sense sweeping from within the blood cloud, and even if he wanted to run, it was too late.

Therefore, he became even calmer and began to ponder the state of his own fortune. (End of Chapter)
