Cultivation begins with planting techniques

"It's still a little short..."

Li Ye felt the much stronger magical power within his body and silently commented.

He stood outside the basin, looking down into it. There was no trace of pure spiritual energy left, and even the turbid and evil energy that had gathered there had faded considerably.

With the effect of turning adversity into prosperity broken, the sacred site here is no longer likely to take shape.

Although Li Ye, who completely absorbed this spiritual acupoint, did not step into the late stage of the Yuan Dan realm in one step, he was only half a step away and could break through with a little polishing.

They began planning their breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

The speed displayed is truly incomparable to that of Li Ye himself back then!

Even Li Ye himself was somewhat impressed.

Tian Jianzi, who had promised to protect Li Ye, had not yet left.

Seeing Li Ye emerge from seclusion, he finally stirred slightly, his body, which had been sitting cross-legged on his sword. He opened his eyes, glanced at Li Ye, and nodded.
"Never made a breakthrough to the later stages? That's fine too!"

"Although the spiritual energy in the spiritual cave is pure, it's still too fast to save decades or even hundreds of years of cultivation in one go. It's perfect for honing and mastering magical power before breaking through. A solid foundation will be beneficial for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

He said with satisfaction.

The tone of his voice suggested that he had no doubts about Li Ye's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, and that he was confident that Li Ye could reach that level.

He then flicked his finger lightly at the flying sword beneath him.

The ancient flying sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry. With a slight tremor of the sword, a burst of sword energy surged out and headed straight for Li Ye.

Faced with such a fierce sword aura that could easily cut him in two, Li Ye showed a slight look of surprise, but stood still, neither dodging nor flinching.

The next moment, the sword energy landed in his hand.

The sword energy, which should have been incomparably sharp, instead displayed an unprecedented gentleness, transforming into a sword imprint that solidified on the back of Li Ye's hand.

Tian Jianzi seemed to approve of his reaction and explained:

"This sword energy is equivalent to one of my strikes. I'm leaving it for you to save your life. Next time you encounter a shameless Nascent Soul cultivator like Ye Wangchuan, this sword energy will give you some room to deal with it!"

"Thank you very much, Supreme Elder, for bestowing this teaching!"

Li Ye bowed in gratitude.

Tian Jianzi waved his hand, "Since you have chosen the path of cultivation, I will not criticize you further, but a little protection will not be a problem... Once this matter is settled, you can continue planting trees. I'm off!"

Before the old man finished speaking, he suddenly leaped up from the sword, and the flying sword fell into his hand on its own. He unleashed a sword aura, and in an instant, man and sword became one, and he disappeared in a flash.

Sword cultivators... how dashing!

Li Ye looked into the distance and saw the figure disappear into the horizon as a tiny dot, and couldn't help but smile.

The Heavenly Sword Sect has nurtured him as a Nascent Soul seed, treating him exceptionally well. If he can find the Ancient Tree of the Void Realm and summon his true form, they will surely repay him in full.

His ultimate goal has always been to accumulate power to ascend to the spirit world; he has no particular interest in this realm.

When seizing the accumulated resources of various sects, we might as well help the Heavenly Sword Sect ascend to the top of this realm and lead the restored Ancient Tree Realm and the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The place still bears the aura left by Tian Jianzi and that fourth-order demon, which is why the demon dares not easily invade.

Li Ye glanced at the tree pit he had prepared not far away, then strode over to it.

The revolution is not yet complete, and there are still trees to be planted; therefore, we cannot slacken our efforts. Before long, as that tall figure busied himself again, the greenery on the desert continued to spread.

………………

The cultivation of the clone in the ancient tree realm can be tedious. Day after day, planting trees steadily expands the scale of the Pure Spirit Willow, thus echoing with many scattered forests at a certain distance, changing the environment of the Demon Abyss covered by it.

Perhaps it was because Ye Wangchuan of the Netherworld Sect personally targeted Li Ye, but was defeated by Tian Jianzi, and the story was subsequently spread.

Since then, no Nascent Soul cultivator from any sect or force has ever attacked him.

Even cultivators of the Yuan Dan realm, regardless of whether they were from the righteous or demonic paths, no longer dared to provoke him.

This is not only because he is invincible among his peers in terms of combat strength, but also because no one can rival him.

The very existence of the Pure Spirit Willow Forest has already demonstrated its extraordinary significance.

Even today, many cultivators regard the Pure Spirit Willow Forest he planted as a safe zone in the Demon Abyss.

Not only do they frequently use the land to rest and recover, but everyone also implicitly agrees that they must maintain the woodland and refrain from conflict or damage within it; violators will be jointly attacked.

This is both to protect their own interests and to consider the future.

Perhaps the current size of the Pure Spirit Willow Forest is only enough for cultivators like them to rest. In a place like the Demon Abyss where even breathing in spiritual energy is a problem, it provides a clean place for recovery.

But this is already of great significance.

It should be noted that when Li Ye first set foot in the Demon Abyss decades ago, these scattered spiritual lands were just scattered saplings, and they did not pose any threat to the vast Demon Abyss.

But now, they have begun to affect the environment of the Demon Abyss, creating a large number of woodlands and oases that are no less beautiful than those in the outside world.

Who knows what this place will look like once the Spirit Purifying Willow has spread throughout the Demon Abyss?

Even if it cannot be restored to its former glory, even if it is only made to be almost indistinguishable from the outside world and no longer polluted and expanded, it will be enough to bring the cultivation world into an unprecedented period of prosperity!
Li Ye's actions can be described as changing the entire world!
Perhaps most cultivators in the world would not waste their limited lifespan on such a huge project that would only benefit others and future generations.

However, with the changes in the Demon Abyss, a few cultivators whose lifespans were nearing their end and who had no more room to struggle were inspired by Li Ye's heroic deeds and came here.

They received the seedlings from him and, with their remaining years, followed in his footsteps, beginning to sow the seeds in the abyss of demons.

Although not as efficient as Li Ye's, it did significantly increase the expansion speed of the Pure Spirit Willow Forest, resulting in even more remarkable achievements.

The changes in the Demon Abyss are becoming increasingly unstoppable!
……

"I originally thought I had gained some free helpers, and the Holy Tree Walker's improvement speed has greatly accelerated, allowing him to reach level 20 before even reaching the Divine Transformation stage..."

"But I never expected that my talent was so extraordinary that I reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in just a few decades, without any further flaws..."

After tending to a Pure Spirit Willow, Li Ye's expression suddenly shifted slightly, as he thought with a hint of surprise.

At the same time, in the human realm, on Pingyang Mountain.

Li Ye sat upright on the jade bed, his eyes shimmering with a bluish-purple spiritual light. He was surrounded by spiritual energy, and those who came into contact with his aura would see many illusory images of plants and trees, which seemed to have a sense of withering and flourishing.

His magical power was perfectly integrated, reaching its peak!

"Having returned from the Ancient Huan Realm, my clones have made great strides in the Ancient Tree Realm, getting closer and closer to my goal. My cultivation has finally reached its completion..."

He sighed, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

Now that his cultivation has reached perfection, the Star Refining God Technique, which he has been preparing for a long time, can finally be used, and he can begin his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage! (End of Chapter)
