Cultivation begins with planting techniques

"Brother Bai, you've worked hard several times to seize the spiritual energy and cultivate the spiritual land!"

Li Ye praised Bai Minghua with a sincere expression.

"Our Six Desires Sect seized the initiative and took control of the southern border, so doing this kind of thing is just a matter of course."

“Especially since you, Brother Li, have no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Southern Frontier and have maintained the original situation, I am deeply grateful. It is no problem for me, Bai, to do more.”

Bai Minghua still had a smile on his lips.

What he said was true.

Originally, after Li Ye broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and he intended to join forces with him, he was prepared to share the interests of the righteous path in the Southern Frontier with him, just like he had done with Meng Jingde back then, where the two of them shared the righteous and demonic paths in the Southern Frontier.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Ye had no intention of doing so. He had no idea of ​​helping the Pingyang Mountain lineage advance further after reaching the Nascent Soul stage. He only provided some protection and did not interfere further.

Such generosity naturally warranted some response from Bai Minghua.

Moreover, his reputation in the demonic path was already limited, and now that he has achieved the Nascent Soul stage, his demonic power is at its peak. The slight infamy from seizing spiritual veins is nothing at all.

As long as he remains alive as a Nascent Soul cultivator, no one below him can defy him in the slightest!

The two of them stood in the void, gazing together at the mountain range that had split into two peaks, their eyes filled with satisfaction.

This was the first time they had ever seen such a treasure trove of spiritual essence since they began their cultivation.

Originally, his cultivation had almost completely stagnated after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, without any progress whatsoever. In fact, his magical power, which was constantly being consumed by resisting the suppression of the human realm, was now faintly active.

This state almost gave them, who had already given up hope of reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm in the mortal world, a renewed sense of anticipation.

Regarding Bai Minghua...

He had already prepared to join forces with Li Ye to attack the other four regions, seize spiritual veins and resources, and temporarily put aside his plan to improve his cultivation with the appearance of this fifth-tier spiritual land.

There's no need to rashly engage in life-or-death battles with other cultivators of the same level.

This can be considered a good thing!
As for Li Ye...

He was secretly planning the teleportation to another realm on Pingyang Mountain, while his clone in the Ancient Tree Realm was also continuously planting trees to raise the level of the Sacred Tree Walker.

As the size and age of the Pure Spirit Willow increase day by day, the feedback it brings becomes more and more astonishing, and it will actually take a further step soon.

For him, sharing the Soul-Seizing Technique and having Bai Ming create this fifth-tier spiritual land was merely a temporary measure.

The benefits brought about have all been realized.

At the same time, they obtained the method of teleportation to the lower realm.

He appeased Bai Minghua, making him temporarily abandon his idea of ​​conquering the other four domains to seize cultivation resources, thus maintaining the current peace of the five domains and allowing him to wait in peace for the outcome from the Ancient Tree Realm avatar.

This fifth-tier spiritual land itself allows him to stabilize his cultivation during this period and fully digest the gains from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

When we go to the Ancient Tree Realm in the future, we can ensure that our combat power will crush all the sects.

"This place hasn't been named yet, how about Brother Li suggests it?"

Bai Minghua spoke again.

Li Ye did not refuse, and after a moment's thought, he smiled and said:

"Since this place is where we cultivate together, let's call it Twin Venerable Mountain. When we ascend to immortality, it will be a wonderful story."

"That's acceptable!"

Bai Minghua nodded.

It doesn't matter if it's simple and easy to understand. If there really is a day when they ascend to immortality, then this place, if passed down through generations, would indeed be another trace they left in this world.

The two did not speak further and each went to a separate mountain peak.

"The fifth-order spiritual vein is truly wondrous..."

Li Ye took deep breaths, feeling the exhilarating sensation of the refined spiritual energy rushing into his body, giving his physical body and nascent soul an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. For a moment, he even had the urge to move the three spiritual roots of heaven and earth—the Void Tree, the Purifying Willow, and the Burning Sun Wood—to this place and establish a separate cave dwelling.

With the spiritual veins of this place, they can surely reach the fifth rank and bring even greater benefits!

However, Li Ye only briefly considered this idea before quickly dismissing it.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to cultivate these three spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

However, in his view, the Twin Venerable Mountain Spirit Land was merely a temporary place for cultivation.

There's also Bai Minghua, another Nascent Soul cultivator, who needs to be guarded against. Such a grand display is unnecessary.

They would stay in Pingyang Mountain and return periodically to reap the rewards.

We'll make further arrangements once we get results from the other side.

But Li Ye wasn't idle either.

He casually strolled around and thoroughly grasped the essence of his own mountain.

After the fifth-order spiritual vein is completed, the spiritual energy in the mountain changes, and spiritual plants naturally grow by receiving the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although there are no fifth-order spiritual veins yet, it is still a scene full of vitality.

Li Ye simply scattered some seeds, using the Taiyi Azure Wood Divine Light to cultivate them into giant trees scattered throughout the mountains, thus serving as nodes in the formation.

The giant tree, located in the core area where the spiritual energy circulates, transforms into a hollow shape, serving as his cave dwelling.

However, in a short time, the mountain peak was filled with green clouds as giant trees rose up, and the vegetation became even more lush, making it difficult to see any trace of its original appearance.

On the other side, Bai Minghua raised an eyebrow upon seeing this scene.

Such mastery of array formations was truly beyond his reach, so he could only send an array master from his sect to set up the array on his behalf.

As his gaze fell upon them, the array master of the Six Desires Sect broke out in a cold sweat, his heart trembling.

Li Ye's array formation methods were truly terrifying, far beyond what he could compare to.

It would be truly difficult for the formation he set up to remain undetected by someone who could even be called a master of formations.

Even if we use all our skills, we might not be able to satisfy the Supreme Elder this time!

………………

Since the establishment of the Twin Venerable Mountain, Li Ye and Bai Minghua have both become reclusive and rarely go out.

Each of them devoted themselves to cultivation in the two mountains known to the world as Six Desires Peak and Wood God Peak, consolidating their cultivation and digesting the gains from their breakthrough.

Although the demonic path still reigns supreme, as long as the Nascent Soul Venerable no longer personally intervenes...

The tense situation in southern Xinjiang was finally eased.

Not long after, Nascent Soul Venerables from the other four domains also came to visit and congratulate Li Ye and Bai Minghua on their advancement to the same level.

Before this, since there were no fifth-order spiritual veins in the Southern Frontier, they were indeed worried about the possibility of these two joining forces to attack them, and had even made preparations to deal with them together.

Now that Li Ye and Bai Minghua have forcibly condensed a fifth-order spiritual vein using the Spirit Seizing Technique and established a spiritual ground for cultivation, this can be considered a resolution to the biggest conflict.

They were able to relax a bit and came together to discuss the Dao.

These four are all seniors, having reached the Nascent Soul stage many years earlier than Li Ye, yet they are still only at the initial stage of cultivation.

After some discussion, they were even more certain that, apart from the location of the fifth-order spiritual vein, it was almost impossible for other areas of the mortal realm to produce the spiritual items needed for Nascent Soul cultivation.

Even setting aside the difficulty of producing fifth-tier spiritual herbs.

In terms of the required cultivation time alone, it is based on a thousand years!

Although the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is long, they may not be able to wait for a spiritual object to be nurtured and used for their own cultivation!

All they could do was cultivate diligently and send their disciples to search for spatial rifts that might serve as pathways to ascension!
The chances of ascension are extremely slim! (End of Chapter)
