Cultivation begins with planting techniques

I have been in this world for nearly two hundred years. During this time, in addition to cultivating and improving the combat power of my clones, I have been constantly searching for the location of the Ancient Tree of the Void Realm.

Now, the clones are all on the verge of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, and with the already perfected power of the Sacred Tree Walker, they have become complete Nascent Soul combatants. Finally, the result has been achieved.

In an instant, Li Ye's lips curled into a smile, his face beaming with joy.

He paused for a moment, then planted the Pure Spirit Willow in his hand and took care of it.

He got up and walked out of the woods.

"Master Li, is there anything unusual?"

"Should we send more people over to drive away the monsters?"

Before the planned willow trees were all planted, Li Ye's actions were somewhat abrupt. Among the followers who were planting the Pure Spirit Willows with him, a composed middle-aged man immediately stepped forward to inquire respectfully.

"No need."

Li Ye waved his hand in refusal, then after a moment's thought, offered another suggestion:
"Send this message to everyone: there may be unusual activity in the Demon Abyss soon. Stop expanding Willow Forest. You should stay in Willow Forest as a precaution and do not venture into the Demon Abyss rashly."

These words immediately drew serious nods from the people nearby, who readily agreed.

"We will immediately send messages to all parties, and will certainly act in accordance with Master Li's instructions to protect the Willow Forest Oasis from destruction!"

Their obedient demeanor suggested that they would immediately respond to any order given by Li Ye.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Li Ye is the one who cultivated the Pure Spirit Willow and came to this Demon Abyss alone more than a hundred years ago. He began to plant willow trees on his own and gradually expanded its scale, using the magical power of spiritual plants to change the environment of this place.

He was a pivotal figure who changed the world!
Even after decades of planting trees and achieving initial scale, once the sects truly witnessed the effectiveness of the Pure Spirit Willow and saw that the improved area was usable, it attracted sects from all over the world to participate.

As the leader of this change, he holds a unique position in the eyes of ambitious people all over the world.

Even before the sect took over the territory and ordered its disciples to plant trees and reclaim wasteland, Li Ye's achievements in the Demon Abyss attracted many cultivators to voluntarily join him, becoming members of his tree-planting team under his leadership.

At first, they were mostly old cultivators whose lifespans were nearing their end and who had made no further progress.

Later on, younger and more promising individuals began to join.

The majority of them are cultivators from within the Heavenly Sword Sect, while others come from righteous sects such as Medicine King Valley and Tide Pavilion, as well as some independent cultivators and demonic cultivators.

They have become a unique force within this demonic abyss.

Interestingly...

They may seem to neglect their cultivation while planting trees, but with persistence, they often receive unexpected opportunities and are not inferior to other cultivators of the same level.

In particular, with the guidance of Li Ye from time to time, all kinds of doubts about cultivation can be resolved.

Therefore, those in this group who had all received guidance from Li Ye treated him with the respect due to a half-master, addressing him as Master Li.

By cultivating oneself through planting trees, one's luck improves and one's actions become smooth. Opportunities arise frequently, and one receives guidance from someone like Li Ye, who defies conventional wisdom.

Each of these cultivators is an outstanding individual among their peers.

Even those whose lifespans were nearing their end, after planting trees, inexplicably experienced a resurgence of vitality and lived much longer than expected, which was quite astonishing.

Therefore, this seemingly scattered tree-planting organization actually possesses considerable power.

More importantly, they all basically follow Li Ye's words and actions as their guiding principle. Their sole aim is to expand the Pure Spirit Willow Forest, alter the Demon Abyss, and restore the glory of the past!
As for cultivation levels, treasures, and supernatural powers, these external things will naturally come into your hands during this process, so there is no need to worry about them.

He joined the team because of a momentary ideal, but he did not neglect himself along the way. He even had the opportunity to join the team. As a result, the cohesion of this team is frighteningly strong.

It far surpasses most families or sects in the world.

If it weren't for the fact that this team itself is already quite formidable.

However, Li Ye never used this force as a base to start a new organization, or mobilized it to compete with other sects for interests.

Nowadays, the entire cultivation world needs a force like his that focuses on expanding the Pure Spirit Willow, only doing pioneering work and not sharing profits.

Perhaps a sect or family should have reached their breaking point and taken action to suppress it long ago!
However, they do not intend to eliminate the force united under Li Ye's command in the short term.

But there are quite a few underhanded and overt maneuvers.

Even within the Heavenly Sword Sect, there were some criticisms of this situation.

However, his voice was too weak and he was not taken seriously by the mainstream. With the support of two Supreme Elders, Tianjianzi and Yujian Zhenjun, Li Ye did not even dare to mention him directly.

At most, other sects tend to marginalize and exclude those who are not directly involved in the sect's tree-planting mission but instead unite around Li Ye to plant trees without regard for personal gain.

If this continues, we may not have to wait for the Demon Abyss to fully return to normal.

If only 60-70%, or even just over 50%, is recovered, enough to alter the state of this realm and allow it to improve on its own, then it's time to deal with Li Ye and his forces once the rabbit is caught and the hunting dog is cooked.

After all, in their view, if all the sects made such a decision, even if Li Ye broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he would not be able to interfere in the internal affairs of each sect with his own strength.

Even now, although many cultivators still admire his actions in truly beginning to change the world, in the eyes of various sects, he has already become a tool for adjusting the world.

It's normal to have a "use and discard" approach to avoid jeopardizing one's own processing strategy.

But how could Li Ye possibly let them have their way?
Emerging from the woodland oasis, Li Ye, wielding the Withered Glory Sword, swiftly traveled towards the ancient tree in the Void Realm that he had sensed.

He also began to ponder how to settle the group of fellow Daoists who had chosen to follow him.

They came from various sects, or were simply independent practitioners without any foundation.

The Heavenly Sword Sect need not worry; they have already recognized him and regard him as a potential Nascent Soul cultivator.

The fact that the cultivators in the sect followed him was not a big deal; on the contrary, it proved his ability even more.

But others are different.

If Li Ye were merely a cultivator about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, he might indeed be unable to protect everyone from future purges by various sects, thus preventing potential threats within the sect.

Even if one breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, this is indeed the case. In fact, if one takes any excessive actions that provoke conflicts between various sects, it is not impossible for Tian Jianzi to personally suppress them.

"But thankfully, I still have my original self..."

A slight smile appeared on his face.

Li Ye, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Sect, is indeed powerless to interfere with how each of your sects handles its disciples.

But it could be replaced by Li Ye, a Nascent Soul cultivator from beyond the realm...

But now it's up to these people to weigh whether it's worth making an enemy of him for that so-called precaution! (End of Chapter)
