Cultivation begins with planting techniques

As cultivators, those with higher cultivation levels will naturally possess stronger fortune.

Otherwise, relying solely on natural talent, in this treacherous world of cultivation where all sides are vying for power, it is actually extremely difficult to break through step by step within a limited lifespan.

Even for geniuses with heavenly spiritual roots, the chances of dying young if they are unlucky are extremely high!
Perhaps Li Ye is now relying on his own actions, planting trees step by step, improving the environment of the Demon Abyss, and eliminating the erosion that has existed for tens of thousands of years in this world, thus gaining the favor of the world's fortune.

But we are far from reaching a point where everything goes smoothly and all our wishes come true.

This spiritual cave could almost help him break through to the late stage of the Yuan Dan realm in one step; it was indeed an immense opportunity.

However, given his good fortune in discovering this place, and considering that this area had already been explored, it was normal for other Nascent Soul cultivators to be able to detect it as well.

This body's supernatural abilities, after several accumulations, are indeed invincible among those of the same level, but it is already quite good that it can protect itself against a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Taking over this place before the Holy Tree Walker reaches level 20 is indeed a bit too difficult; it's better to think about something more realistic.

Even though I am currently blessed with good fortune and opportunities come my way, they are not free; I need sufficient strength to seize them.

Otherwise, those whose virtue does not match their position will inevitably suffer calamities.

There's no need to be superstitious about it.

As soon as his thoughts raced, the blood cloud flew over and spread, enveloping the basin.

The bloodthirsty aura blotted out the sky, and countless mutilated, blood-red vengeful spirits emerged and struggled within it, causing the monsters and beasts in the basin below to roar to the heavens and unite in resistance.

The suspected fourth-order demon that Li Ye had previously sensed was also revealed.

It leaped out from the thick, turbid, and evil aura and stood in mid-air.

His body was surrounded by a black and red aura, which condensed into strange and twisted runes that moved around him, resonating with the surrounding turbid and evil energy and evolving into various strange phenomena.

However, it stood firm against the blood cloud, displaying formidable ferocity!

"Hmph! You mere stupid creature dares to bare your teeth at me? You're courting death!"

A somber, icy voice came from the horizon.

The blood-red clouds swirled, accompanied by the sound of rushing water. As the clouds receded, a blood-red sea suddenly appeared, revealing countless figures floating within it.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black robe with blood-patterned patterns and eyes flashing with blood-red light stepped through the sea of ​​blood, looking down at the group of monsters below with disdain.

Although monsters are insane and have no intelligence whatsoever, they eventually become "smarter" as their rank increases.

Enraged by his imposing aura and posture, the fourth-tier demon roared repeatedly, its malevolent energy soaring, as if it might attack him at any moment.

But the middle-aged man standing amidst the sea of ​​blood didn't seem to care, merely glancing casually at Li Ye.
"I initially thought I was lucky to have encountered such a large spiritual cave, which was already quite a gain..."

"I never expected to have this unexpected bonus!"

Li Ye neither avoided nor dodged, but gazed at him from afar.

Behind the blood-red light in his eyes was an endless sea of ​​blood and the vengeful souls floating within it, as if he wanted to drag Li Ye's soul into it and make him a part of the sea of ​​blood.

If it were an ordinary Yuan Dan cultivator, their soul would likely be damaged immediately, and their mind would be injured.

However, Li Ye remained focused, his sword intent sweeping across the room, unaffected by the blood demon's influence, and completely unshaken.

"Ok?"

The middle-aged man in the sea of ​​blood raised an eyebrow, his expression slightly surprised, but instead of being angry, he smiled.

"Excellent! As expected of the most talented person in the Heavenly Sword Sect in recent years, even while guarding this Demon Abyss and focusing on planting trees, he still possesses such swordsmanship skills!"

"In that case, it is worth it for me to personally take action and bring you back to the sect for training!" A sea of ​​blood surged beneath his feet, and amidst the howls of countless vengeful spirits, he roared towards the horde of demons below.

At the same time, he raised his hand and made a grabbing motion towards Li Ye, from which some blood separated and slapped towards Li Ye.

Clearly, they didn't take Li Ye's supernatural abilities seriously at all; they were just casually capturing this kid who had done something big in the Demon Abyss while suppressing the fourth-order demon!

They started fighting without warning, yet they didn't seem to have any intention of killing me. Did they really want to kidnap me back to the sect?
Li Ye thought to himself, feeling that the influence of his fame through the Purifying Willow was truly significant.

In contrast, other demonic sects would likely try to kill the righteous prodigies as quickly as possible to weaken the potential of their respective sects.

However, most of the demonic cultivators he has encountered so far have reacted by capturing him and bringing him back to their sect, rather than killing him on the spot.

Such treatment left him speechless and frustrated.

With such a relaxed thought still lingering in his mind, Li Ye was naturally not prepared to just wait to die. Even though this body was merely an avatar, the mission was not yet complete, and he wouldn't just be sent to his death by encountering a high-level cultivator.

'With the [Borrowing the Laws of Nature], combined with the Holy Tree Walker's current cultivation level, he should be able to withstand a brief clash with a Nascent Soul cultivator. This person is a good test subject...'

He was calculating how his skin was about to transform into thick tree bark, but he suddenly stopped just as his body was about to change drastically.

"What a coincidence?!"

He was puzzled, but decided not to make any unnecessary movements.

Standing there, watching the blood rush towards him, the middle-aged man in the sea of ​​blood looked on with disdain.

This young man has quite a reputation, yet he didn't offer the slightest resistance in the face of my methods; he truly has a hollow reputation...

The thought had barely surfaced, and before he could succeed, the middle-aged man in the sea of ​​blood suddenly changed his expression.

Without warning, a loud shout came from the horizon.

"You dare to attack the true power of our sect, Ye Wangchuan? Do you have a death wish?!"

Before the words had even finished, a pure and condensed sword light arrived in an instant.

Blood Sea abandoned the fourth-tier demon and swept back to protect the middle-aged man.

But the stream of blood that rushed towards Li Ye only paused for a moment before continuing its attack without hesitation.

In any case, this kid is only at the Yuan Dan stage. Taking him down will be a piece of cake and won't take any effort at all. It's definitely the right thing to do to capture him first!
The next moment, two sword lights suddenly appeared.

puff!
The surging sea of ​​blood was suddenly cleaved apart by this sword, heading straight for Ye Wangchuan's body.

At the same time, the blood that was sweeping towards Li Ye was instantly shattered and swept away by the withering and flourishing sword energy, without touching Li Ye at all.

"you dare!"

As the sword light approached, anger flashed across Ye Wangchuan's face, and he suddenly turned into blood that scattered everywhere.

In a split second, it barely dodged the sword strike, only being grazed by a few wisps of sword energy. Without the slightest hesitation, it gathered in the distance and decisively fled.

"Tian Jianzi launched a sneak attack today; I will surely avenge him in the future!"

An angry voice echoed across the sky.

The sword energy paused, revealing an old man with white hair, a youthful face, and sharp eyes.

He scoffed at these words.
"A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator attacking a junior like this? All you can do is bark like a defeated dog. I'll be waiting for you to come looking for me!" (End of Chapter)
