Cultivation begins with planting techniques

An extraordinary phenomenon appeared that none of the cultivators present had ever witnessed in their entire lives.

Even in this demonic abyss filled with turbid and evil energy, spiritual energy from an unknown vast area can still be mobilized in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the multicolored points of spiritual light condensed, filling their vision and senses. Then, they further transformed into divine light of various colors, radiating terrifying power.

It doesn't perform any supernatural transformations; it only possesses pure and powerful strength.

It simply and plainly pressed down!

Despite their overwhelming numbers and the fact that they were surrounding Li Ye, at this moment all those besieging him felt as if they were fighting against heaven and earth, completely isolated!

Their expressions were ferocious, their eyes bloodshot.

They tried to escape or used some secret techniques or supernatural powers to resist, but all to no avail.

one strike!
Just one blow!
No matter what methods they tried, all the Nascent Soul cultivators were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and were instantly defeated by the colorful divine light.

boom! boom! boom!
Several Nascent Soul cultivators crashed to the ground like dumplings, bleeding from all seven orifices, their faces ashen, their physical bodies almost completely destroyed.

They were so weak they didn't even have the strength to get up. Looking at the dashing figure standing beside the giant golden flame tree, the terror in their eyes was like a surging wave that overwhelmed them.

Jade Sword True Lord and Azure Caution True Lord stared at this scene, their expressions out of control, completely at a loss for what to do. They didn't even notice Shi Lie, who was engaged in a magical duel.

whoosh-

Suddenly, a burst of intense fire erupted, and Shi Lie burst into flames, transforming into a human-shaped fireball as he immediately fled.

Its speed is astonishing.

Even if Yu Jian and Qing Jin reacted and tried to give chase, it was too late.

As Shi Lie burned his own nascent soul essence and tried his best to escape, fear and regret surged within him.

He had been observing for so long, so why was he in such a hurry to get involved? He hadn't even achieved any results yet, and then this unexpected turn of events occurred.

A Nascent Soul cultivator! That man in the green robe must be a Nascent Soul Venerable!
Regardless of his relationship with Li Ye, if he did not escape, he would surely die!

However, behind it.

The man in the green robe watched his fleeing figure from afar, unhurriedly flicking his finger.

A beam of cyan and silver divine light shot out, with mysterious runes the size of rice grains flowing within it. It disappeared into the void and then appeared precisely above Shi Lie's head the next moment.

Swah——

One stroke.

No matter what supernatural powers or protective treasures this fellow possessed, they were all like paper figures or clay sculptures, utterly ineffective.

With his physical body shattered, his nascent soul was enveloped by the azure-silver divine light and appeared directly in front of the green-robed man, falling into the gaze of everyone present.

"I initially thought you were a sensible person who knew how to assess the situation and act wisely since you didn't participate in the attack. I didn't expect you to still get involved. Since you're so eager to die, I should naturally grant your wish..."

The young man in the green robe said jokingly.

Shi Lie's Nascent Soul was terrified. He seemed to understand the relationship between the young man in the green robe and Li Ye!

However, at the very moment the words were spoken, the young man in the green robe made a fist with his long, slender hand.

Snapped!
The azure and silver divine light suddenly converged, and Shi Lie's nascent soul was instantly annihilated, turning into scattered essence.

After doing this, he glanced indifferently at the several Nascent Soul cultivators from various sects whose magical power had dissipated and who were critically injured and on the verge of death.

As his gaze fell upon them, the group of cultivators struggled to prostrate themselves on the ground.

"We were unaware that this ancient tree was connected to you, senior. We are willing to use the full strength of our sect to compensate you! We beg you to show mercy!" "Senior, spare our lives!"

"This humble woman is willing to offer everything, to serve as a slave or maid, only begging for your mercy, senior..."

What they all said was largely true; they were willing to offer their sect's wealth as compensation in exchange for forgiveness.

All the promises made were a complete display of the sect's resources and treasures, causing Yu Jian and Qing Jin's hearts to pound wildly.

The female cultivators of Tingtao Pavilion were even willing to serve as maids in order to have a chance to survive.

The female cultivator's veil had long since disappeared, revealing her delicate face. Her clothes were torn, exposing large areas of her fair skin.

She begged for mercy in a soft, sweet voice, looking utterly pitiful.

however.

The man in the green robe looked at them with a half-smile, but only said:
"I had already given you advice, but it's too late for you to regret it now..."

Upon hearing this, several Nascent Soul cultivators turned pale.

The imposing presence they displayed during the earlier siege of the Golden Flame Tree has vanished without a trace, and the demeanor of some of them is even worse than that of ordinary people on their deathbed!
Among them are those with relatively unpredictable methods, such as Blood Eagle Fortress and Hundred Poison Sect, whose eyes flicker as if they are still struggling.

Li Ye, however, seemed to ignore them all.

"Further words are unnecessary; please continue on your journey!"

He flicked his finger lightly, repeating the same trick.

The azure-silver divine light of Shi Lie, whom Li Ye had easily killed earlier, appeared. Even though Li Ye did not deliberately mobilize his spiritual energy, the spiritual energy from all directions seemed to flock to him like swallows returning to his embrace, merging into the azure-silver divine light.

It caused it to suddenly become extremely powerful, then split into five parts and fell down in an instant.

The five of them still wanted to make a last-ditch effort, but they were no match for the divine light. With a slight tremor, it instantly passed through the void and pierced through their bodies, splitting them in two!
Although the substitution techniques that Blood Eagle Fortress and Hundred Poison Sect had been secretly preparing were successfully activated, they still could not escape being locked on.

After their physical bodies shattered, the Blood Eagle and the tiny Gu worm with human faces that had quietly escaped were also caught up by the divine light and destroyed once again.

Five Nascent Soul cultivators died in the blink of an eye!
Jade Sword True Lord and Green Caution True Lord stood silently to the side, trembling with fear.

Even though the two of them hadn't made a move, and were even considered to be on Li Ye's side, seeing six people being crushed to death by Li Ye like insects, they couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.

Just then, they heard the smiling voice of the man in the green robe:

"Please come and have a chat with my two fellow Daoists."

Yu Jian and Qing Jin exchanged a glance, but dared not delay and immediately went to meet them.

Thus, after watching helplessly as the giant golden tree transformed back into Li Ye of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the man in the green robe casually made a grasping motion, and a mysterious and complex rune resembling a tree was directly extracted from his body.

Throughout the entire process, Li Ye of the Heavenly Sword Sect seemed to have no reaction at all, and simply sat back down under the tree.

Such behavior further convinced Jade Sword True Lord of his guess, and he felt a mix of emotions.

“Fellow Daoist Jade Sword, there’s no need to be so formal. My avatar’s progress in cultivation within the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the discovery of this tree, are all thanks to your support and care along the way…”

Li Ye held the sacred tree rune in his hand and smiled at Jade Sword True Monarch.

“Senior… It is a blessing for the Heavenly Sword Sect to have you value and join us. I am merely rewarding you for your contributions, and I truly do not deserve such treatment from you…”

"On the contrary, our Heavenly Sword Sect has benefited immeasurably from the Pure Spirit Willow nurtured by the senior. Our sect should express our gratitude to the senior!"

Jade Sword True Monarch's words were initially slightly hesitant, but they quickly became fluent, and he spoke with a sincere expression. (End of Chapter)
