Cultivation begins with planting techniques

"I hope you will forgive my past rudeness!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Qingjin Zhenjun kept his eyes down and his mind at ease, not daring to show any extra emotion.

Upon hearing this, he suddenly recalled that he seemed to have met Li Ye before.

He quickly bowed and said, "This junior was rude before, please forgive me, senior!"

"Hahaha! You two fellow Daoists are too kind!"

Li Ye gently raised his hand and used immense magical power to help the two of them up, then smiled.

"Back then, you only saw Li Ye, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. How could his actions have been disrespectful?"

"If it weren't for this senior's guidance and support, I probably wouldn't have been able to find this tree so quickly! In that case, I, Li, am truly indebted to you!"

Hearing what Li Ye said, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as this person doesn't mind, that's fine.

What Li Ye said next still made Jade Sword True Monarch and Qingjin True Monarch tremble in their hearts.

"Li has always been clear about gratitude and resentment! Since I have achieved what I have today thanks to your clan's help, I should naturally repay you..."

"I wonder if the Heavenly Sword Sect is interested in unifying the cultivation world and becoming its leader?"

"This……"

Jade Sword True Lord's eyes widened, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the Ancient Tree Realm is roughly the same as that in the Human Realm, but because the Demon Abyss previously occupied almost three-quarters of this realm.

Furthermore, the spiritual energy is mixed with a thick amount of impure and mixed energy, which is extremely difficult to eliminate, making it much more difficult to cultivate and enter the Dao.

Cultivators even need to rely on external aids such as demon seeds and spirit contracts to cultivate. This situation can only be improved after reaching the Yuan Dan stage, but they are still limited by the spiritual energy conditions.

Under such circumstances, it would be the limit if a small number of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators could be produced, like in the Ancient Huan Realm.

The Nascent Soul stage, which requires a deep connection with spiritual energy, is an even higher realm that no one can reach!

This is a limitation of the world, and has nothing to do with the talent of the cultivators in this world.

But now, Li Ye has appeared!

With his Nascent Soul realm cultivation, he easily killed the five Nascent Soul cultivators who had surrounded him with just a slight use of his supernatural powers!
Many of them existed in the mid-stages, but there was no difference between them; they were like clay chickens and earthenware dogs, all being dealt with instantly.

That supernatural ability, which can instantly generate spiritual energy from an unknown radius of miles, would probably make no difference even if more Nascent Soul cultivators joined the attack!

Moreover, Li Ye killed a total of eight Nascent Soul cultivators this time!

This has already severely damaged the major sects.

This has even led to some sects losing all their Nascent Soul elders!
At the same time, the Heavenly Sword Sect suffered no losses whatsoever and had already risen to the forefront of the forces in this realm.

If Li Ye, a Nascent Soul cultivator, were to assist them, they could easily ascend to the pinnacle and become the leader of the cultivation world!
Li Ye might leave later.

But before any other faction in the world has any ambitions, the Heavenly Sword Sect is quite confident that it can truly elevate its strength to a level commensurate with the benefits it gains from this position, making it unparalleled in the world!

His thoughts raced, and after a moment's thought, Jade Sword True Lord was immediately moved.

He looked at me with a sudden sharpness in his eyes, as if they were burning with flames.

Li Ye smiled, "I think your expression is the answer..."

"Since that's the case... since this tree is currently unprotected, I, Li, still need to make some arrangements. It's inconvenient for me to leave rashly. How about I ask Fellow Daoist Yujian to send a message to Fellow Daoist Tianjianzi and invite him to come and have a chat?"

Jade Sword True Lord immediately nodded.

"We will do as you say, senior!"

Qingjin Zhenjun stood to the side, never having had a chance to interject. Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.

The Heavenly Sword Sect was incredibly fortunate to attract a Nascent Soul cultivator's avatar to join their sect for cultivation. During this time, the avatar even went so far as to cultivate spiritual plants like the Pure Spirit Willow, helping them achieve rapid development.

Now that I have crossed over to this realm, I have received a reward and intend to promote them to become the leaders of the cultivation world.

Why is it that such a good thing never happens to Medicine King Valley...?

Forehead?
Upon realizing this, Qingjin Zhenjun suddenly stopped thinking.

Although the divine light Li Ye used when he made his move displayed a wondrous and mysterious quality, its essence was actually a wood-elemental divine power.

As someone who also cultivates the Way of Plants, he would not admit his mistake.

The clone Li Ye came from the Li family under his Medicine King Valley.

If it weren't for the Liu family wiping out his entire family, logically speaking, the most suitable place for this Nascent Soul cultivator's avatar to cultivate would clearly be their Medicine King Valley!
But it was precisely because of that insignificant Liu family!

The thought that I had had before, back when I first saw the Pure Spirit Willow, resurfaced once again.

They've ruined the fortune of Medicine King Valley! The Liu family truly deserves to die!

………………

With Li Ye and his group having finalized the agreement, they sent a message back to the Heavenly Sword Sect.

At the same time, the aftermath of the deaths of eight Nascent Soul cultivators from various sects began to emerge.

Within the Netherworld Sect, the Profound Yin Cave, the Earthly Fiend Sect, the Blood Eagle Fortress… one by one, the carefully enshrined Nascent Soul Lamp were extinguished.

Some forces originally intended to cover it up.

However, as word spread from other sects, these sects compared their accounts and suddenly discovered that the soul lamps had extinguished at extremely close times.

In particular, six people extinguished their flames almost simultaneously!

All the Nascent Souls who died went to the location of that giant ancient tree and then disappeared without a trace.

I don't know how many years have passed.

Given the unique circumstances of this realm, it has been countless years since such a large-scale incident of Nascent Soul cultivators falling one after another has occurred!
Even though everyone could guess that such a dramatic change must be related to the enormous ancient tree that appeared out of nowhere.

Apart from Ye Wangchuan and Yin Shi Lao Mo.

Shortly after the giant ancient tree suddenly underwent a strange change, seemingly disturbing the void and causing a great upheaval, the soul lamps of the Nascent Soul cultivators went out one after another.

Such a connection is indeed incredibly direct.

But such a chain reaction of deaths is truly terrifying!
Those sects that lost their only Nascent Soul elder were powerless to do anything more and could only feel anxious and make plans for the future.

As for investigating the cause of the Nascent Soul Elder's death, that was truly beyond their capabilities, and they didn't even consider it.

The remaining Nascent Soul elders, who were also in fear, dared not act rashly.

Although everyone knows that opportunities in this world are often accompanied by risks.

However, the immense terror unleashed by such risks truly exceeded their limits of tolerance.

For a time, even the cultivation world was shaken to its core, as if the sky had collapsed.

Surprisingly, none of the sects that had lost Nascent Soul cultivators took any action.

They gazed at the enormous ancient tree, which seemed to be visible from every corner of the Demon Abyss and had somehow returned to calm, as if looking at some terrifying being, filled with fear and apprehension.

It was precisely because all the cultivators dared not approach this enormous ancient tree that a lone figure of light arrived at its base. (End of Chapter)
