It is said that if Sword Cultivators from Celestial Vein Sword Mountain wish to acquire a territory, they need to develop it themselves. Nowadays, perhaps only this place remains suitable for developnt.
If you can co here together with that Sword Cultivator..."
He didn’t finish his sentence.
But Li Ye understood his aning: Isn’t this just loyalty and devotion? Quite interesting, the supposedly wild and untamable leader of the Silver Frost Wolf Race would actually do sothing like this.
Could it be that wolves and dogs are really so similar?
"You are indeed quite smart, but what kind of promise are you hoping to obtain from ?" Li Ye decided to spare so ti and clarify this matter.
But the burly man shook his head: "It’s a significant matter. Let’s discuss when you co together with that Sword Cultivator."
Hearing that, Li Ye gazed at him deeply.
Then turned around and left.
The burly man looked at Li Ye’s departing figure and sighed.
He could feel that sothing was about to happen. If he didn’t find a way out for the tribe soon, they might truly be dosticated in the future — a dosticated wolf is no different from a dog.
The best friend, also the most agreeable Spirit Pet.
...
Li Ye could sowhat guess the burly man’s dilemma.
But he didn’t mind.
He had too many matters requiring his attention; this one was quite troubleso, especially since it involved Celestial Vein Sword Mountain, necessitating his intervention.
"Is this what it ans by ’the capable are more burdened’?"
Li Ye sighed gently.
Then he looked towards the "anchor points" connecting his hundred thousand acres of East Pole Yang Sea and Tao Furnace Realm.
The essence of Tao Furnace Realm is sowhat akin to a grand tree.
Using Jianmu as the foundation, and extending countless branches, each representing different domains.
Therefore, as long as Li Ye could find the branch corresponding to East Pole Yang Sea, replacing it partially with his own Jianmu, it would be considered complete.
This is not easy.
Even with Jianmu’s permission and East Pole Yang Sea’s guidance, it took a long ti for him to finally find so direction, seeing those branches at the world’s base, resembling the Human Race’s ridians.
No, it’s not the world’s base.
——What unfolded before Li Ye was a giant tree growing amidst endless brilliance. The majestic tree extended its branches within the light, seemingly casual yet exuding an extraordinary sense of natural harmony.
The giant tree had a main branch, four sub-branches, and countless smaller twigs extending from the sub-branches, intertwining and overlapping leaves to form a web that seed to encompass All Heavens Stars.
The twigs were adorned with abundant fruits, so shimring like stars, while others contained reflections of rivers, lakes, and seas—each fruit seemingly nurturing a small world, faintly echoing with the lody of wind, water, and the joyous songs of vegetation.
Even the experienced Li Ye was montarily stunned, until his Divine Sense felt overwheld, bringing him back to reality.
"This..."
"This is my true form."
Jianmu’s voice emanated from the giant tree.
This ti, its voice was grander, resonating from all directions, as if encircling Li Ye.
"You are not the first to see my true form, nor the first to help bear the world’s heavy burden."
"Throughout history, many have taken fruits and broken off branches from , yet you can see, my burden remains so heavy."
Despite the grandeur of its voice and its divine nature, Li Ye could detect an undeniable fatigue.
"These fruits should have fallen upon maturity, seeking fertile soil to grow another lush tree—they remain on , like children who won’t leave ho, truly vexing."
"Originally, Ancestor Jianmu planted hoping that once Tao Furnace Realm stabilized, over the course of about ten thousand years, I could endlessly bear fruit, sowing seeds of worlds and life in Chaotic Outer Domain."
"But the ten-thousand-year mark is approaching, this world has developed smoothly, yet still relies on my power..."
The words felt sowhat babbling.
Clearly, Jianmu cared deeply about this matter, but it realized ntioning such things to a junior was excessive, so after clearing its throat, it solemnly declared:
"Co, bear my burden."
On the main branch located in the east, the ocean sparkled and glimred.
Li Ye pretended he didn’t hear Jianmu’s earlier speech, nodded solemnly, and began "grafting" Jianmu’s branches as planned.
——He used the Emotion Song transford into Immortal Ribbon to gently yet sharply wrap around the branch belonging to the ocean, seeking that small "block" belonging to his hundred thousand acres of sea.
Upon finding it, he used the Emotion Song’s Immortal Ribbon to cut a small opening, inserting dust ground from the leg of the Heaven-supporting Fish, and then inserted his own Jianmu’s end.
Using dust from the Heaven-supporting Fish’s leg as "adhesive," influencing and affecting Jianmu’s structure.
Frankly, this was a clever trick.
Although Jianmu claid to be the ancestor of all woods, not all Spirit Plants can "hybridize" or "graft" with it—it must be similar yet distinct "Jianmu genus" to achieve it.
At least it would be much smoother.
In summary.
When Li Ye used his Jianmu to replace the original to stabilize and support the hundred thousand acres of sea, he finally realized how heavy this responsibility was.
He felt the presence of every life within these hundred thousand acres—completely different from the sparse little creatures within the original Jianmu, too nurous for his Divine Sense to fully comprehend.
These lives thriving in the ocean, basking in sunlight and rain, upon departing from the original Jianmu’s protection, would be solely under his charge, safeguarded by him.
This ant...the ocean’s environnt, the sun, the moon, even rain, snow, and frost were determined by him—it would be simple even if he rcilessly decided to annihilate the world.
"..."
"Was it this difficult all along."
Li Ye’s lips curled into a slight bitter smile.
He initially thought it was similar to Lotus Village, but upon closer inspection, he admitted he oversimplified it, acknowledging his lack of foresight.
Thus, he promptly addressed Ancestor Jianmu: "I..."
However, before he could call out, Jianmu’s power extended a thin branch, entwining his Jianmu, maintaining the ocean’s basic environnt, climate, and daily cycles.
Yet, more permissions were granted to Li Ye.
Such as shaping mountains and rivers, altering so places’ Spirit Vein and mineral structures, fusing them... these miraculous powers akin to world creation were handed over to Li Ye.
"You’re a bit too hasty."
The Ancestor’s voice was still grand yet much gentler: "A Golden Core attempting to bear such a vast world, you have comndable courage.
But it’s better to first contemplate how to replace day-night cycles, star illuminations—take over my responsibilities, this is the simplest and most fundantal aspect.
Nature’s way lies therein."
With Jianmu’s assistance, Li Ye let out a breath of relief.
Sincerely expressing gratitude: "Luckily, you were here, allowing to act recklessly. I hope to quickly learn this natural thod and relieve your burdens."
This ti, Jianmu was genuinely pleased: "Alright, I’ll rely on you, young man!"
"Yet you still need to handle outside matters yourself."
"The Ascension of the sea..."
"Is likely about to begin."
This was no longer a hint but an explicit statent.
In fact, even without its words, Li Ye had already sensed so changes occurring in the ocean.
