Cultivation begins with planting techniques

In the empty and desolate herb garden.

Swah——

A flash of silver light appeared in the increasingly lush Spirit Willow Forest, and the three of them instantly crossed a vast distance and appeared at the Heavenly Sword Sect's mountain gate.

Even the fully activated mountain gate formation, which seals off the void, couldn't stop it in the slightest!
Forcibly carrying others during teleportation seems to result in a slightly excessive void load.

Both Tianjianzi and Yujian Zhenjun suffered from disordered magical power and trembling blood and qi, which were difficult to calm down.

But immediately after the teleportation was completed, they still extended their divine senses to look around.

Seeing that they were in the spirit herb garden, the sect's grand formation was fully activated. Although it was teetering on the brink of collapse, it had not yet been breached.

The Heavenly Sword Sect has not suffered too many losses yet, and there is still time to save everything!

Li Ye's gaze swept over the surrounding Pure Spirit Willows, and he praised them with satisfaction.

"It's been over a hundred years since I last visited. The Pure Spirit Willow is growing quite well. It seems that even after I left, the Spirit Herb Garden is still being carefully tended to."

"Of course, the Pure Spirit Willow is of great significance to our sect, so we will certainly not neglect it..."

Jade Sword True Lord replied subconsciously.

Tian Jianzi, standing to the side, immediately grabbed his shoulder to interrupt him and bowed to Li Ye:
"Senior, the situation is urgent. How about we save the Purifying Willow for after we've dealt with the group of cultivators surrounding the mountain?"

"If the mountain gate falls, the agreement you previously discussed with us will likely fail before it even begins. What do you think of that..."

Although he was still shocked by Li Ye's ability to return to the Heavenly Sword Sect from the Demon Abyss in an instant.

But since this person comes from another field, it seems quite reasonable that such supernatural powers are applied to him.

With the Heavenly Sword Sect surrounded by external enemies and in a precarious situation, it truly has no time to worry about anything else.

"Fellow Daoist Tianjianzi, please don't be anxious..."

Li Ye smiled. "If nothing unexpected happens, the fact that they were able to gather their forces so quickly and surround the Heavenly Sword Sect, and only surround it without attacking, suggests that I am the one who orchestrated this siege..."

They won't make a move unless we show ourselves!

As he spoke, he slowly took flight and headed out of the herb garden.

"Let's go! Once this situation is resolved, from now on, no one in this world can stop the rise of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

Jade Sword True Monarch and Heavenly Sword Child exchanged a glance, their eyes widening in shock, before they belatedly realized what was going on.

They dared not delay and quickly followed.

………………

"That scoundrel Tian Jianzi is always causing trouble. How am I supposed to hold this line..."

"If the sect is truly destroyed, rather than letting those bastards slaughter the sect, it would be better to simply retrieve all the demon seeds in the sect and forcefully break through to the late stage of the fourth rank in a desperate attempt!"

The Peacock Wanren stood atop the mountain, gazing at the group of cultivators outside the mountain gate, cursing but with a resolute intent.

"Fellow Daoist Wanren, you've worked hard. I'll leave the rest to you now."

The gentle words came from beside him without warning, startling the peacock so much that its feathers bristled and it turned its head sharply.

Then a completely unfamiliar man in a green robe appeared beside him. Although he was elegant and refined, it was his aura that truly attracted Wanren Peacock.

The aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator completely subdued her, leaving her utterly unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance!
When exactly did such a person enter the Heavenly Sword Sect?

"Senior, you may not know..."

Wanren Kongque asked subconsciously, and then saw Tianjianzi and Yujian Zhenjun following behind him, arriving quickly.

The telepathic explanation followed immediately.

"You...you are..."

With just a few words, Wanren Peacock's eyes widened, like a little chick who had never seen the world before, and for a moment it even showed a bit of cuteness!
Li Ye smiled at her, casually touched the peacock's beautiful feathers, and without saying anything more, took a step forward and appeared above the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Without warning, and utterly abrupt, the group of cultivators surrounding the Heavenly Sword Sect were immediately taken aback.

When exactly did this person break through their blockade and enter the Heavenly Sword Sect?
"Good, good! It's finally here!"

The Hundred Gu Child, hidden in the clouds, cheered upon seeing this scene.

They didn't care what tricks this guy had up his sleeve; once he arrived, he had already fallen into their trap!
Their gazes swept over Yang Lei Zhenjun and Xuanbing Xianzi, and the three of them immediately made their move without hesitation.

Crimson lightning ripped through the sky and crashed down.

The crystal-clear spiritual light carried the meaning of freezing everything, freezing the person who had just appeared in place.

A phantom image of a Gu worm with a hideous human face appeared and flew straight into his arms.

The combined full force of the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators erupted instantly, engulfing Li Ye!
Such swift and decisive actions not only shocked the entire Heavenly Sword Sect behind him, but also caused the Nascent Soul cultivators from various sects who came to surround him to retreat in alarm.

This person actually managed to ambush three powerful cultivators like this. Could he be the one who collaborated with the Heavenly Sword Sect and slaughtered the Nascent Soul cultivators from all their sects?!

They were still unsure how to react.

But then he saw Tianjianzi and the other two following behind him.

All three of them have returned!
This is precisely the time to take action, to destroy and divide up the Heavenly Sword Sect!
"The three of you planned this all along, and the thunderous force of your attack is truly astonishing. You are indeed worthy of being among the pinnacle of this realm..."

But at that moment, the surging spiritual light dissipated.

Those who should have had their bodies frozen, and who should have been severely injured or even killed on the spot by the curse of the Gu worms and the strike of Yang Lei, were actually standing there unharmed.

A golden turtle shell with flowing patterns swirled above his head, seemingly shielding him from all attacks.

His green robe fluttered in the wind, without even a speck of water getting wet.

I witnessed this scene.

Although Li Ye's words were words of praise, the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, experiencing an immense fear they had not felt in a long time!
"Attack! Everyone attack!"

With a roar, the cultivators from various sects prepared to make their move.

They also used their supernatural powers again, intending to unite the group of cultivators and try again.

"I was originally planning to spare the lives of the three of you..."

Li Ye shook his head. "Since you already know the gap between us, yet still choose to be my enemy, with such wolfish ambitions, then I cannot let you live!"

He raised his hand and made a hand seal.

The spiritual energy surged and roared over a hundred miles away, like a wave rolling across the sky, creating a colorful surge.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color.

In the flow of the five elements, it instantly transforms into azure.

A scroll of azure-blue rosy clouds filled the sky.

He easily suppressed and subdued all the cultivators present.

Another portion dissolved into the slowly rising true fire, which resembled green leaves.

This caused its power to surge, splitting into three parts, which then fell upon the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators, who had no chance against Li Ye and were simply defeated amidst the azure sky like other cultivators, looked on in despair.

The Hundred Gu Child screamed in agony as his body was suddenly torn apart, and the Gu worms, identical to the previous phantom, fled in an instant.

But that green leaf-like true fire, though seemingly slow, was impossible to dodge.

The surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth turned into an obstacle, and the three Nascent Soul cultivators were immediately engulfed in flames upon being touched by the azure fire.

Even the Gu worm only managed to escape a short distance before falling back into the green fire.

In no time, the auras of the three Nascent Soul cultivators dissipated, and as the azure flames receded, only three humanoid statues resembling trees remained standing in place. (End of Chapter)
