After leaving a bit of suspense, she paused and then continued:
"As for this place, it is ford from the gaze of the Zhulong, a piece of amber he solidified in the flow of ti."
"Thus, it retains the eternal properties of all things in their primal state. So of the people you see here are my kin, while others are cultivators who have co here to extend their dwindling life spans."
"Day and night blend, the sun and moon are obscured. Now, the bright light flickers as He... is about to awaken."
These words made Li Ye feel unease suddenly wash over him.
Zhulong?
Although he had seen many deities within the sect.
But those were his family elders.
And here?
This is Zhulong we’re talking about!
His expression turned sowhat serious: "Then how do I leave this place? Will He be displeased with or harbor... malice?"
The woman didn’t answer.
But the surrounding atmosphere obviously shifted uneasily.
Even the Golden Crow felt a tinge of unease.
It flapped its wings and moved from Lang Yue’s head to Li Ye’s shoulder, pressing its head against his neck, its body trembling slightly.
"Father."
"I feel..."
Lang Yue’s expression beca exceptionally serious.
She approached Li Ye and whispered, "That person has been possessed."
Dense dark moonlight ford unbreakable arrays around them, but even these layers upon layers of arrays couldn’t bring any sense of security.
Li Ye stared at the woman.
Originally revealing no reaction, the panel suddenly activated—
[Na]: Avatar of Zhulong
[Mood]: Curious
[State]: Originally an Undying Person, now possessed by Zhulong. When Zhulong departs, she will completely disintegrate.
Zhulong is extrely dangerous.
Hmm.
This seems to be the first ti the panel has alerted to sothing extrely dangerous.
He took a deep breath.
Understanding that the current situation left him no room to flee or hide.
He decided to bow openly: "Junior disciple of the Four Seasons Sect, Li Ye, greets Senior Zhulong."
The "woman" did not open her eyes.
Her voice turned deep and ancient, her tone calm:
"Is Su Xing your master?"
"Yes."
Her voice turned sowhat nostalgic.
"My true form had so affinity with your grandmaster. He was an interesting person; although he practiced Daoism, he also enjoyed using Confucian thods to write our scriptures and divine techniques."
"Enough, since you are a disciple of an old friend, consider the harvest here a gift for you, and I’ll let you go. However, before you leave, I have a few things I need your help with."
This ti, she didn’t speak aloud.
Instead, she directly transmitted her voice and, along with it, so... knowledge.
This knowledge made Li Ye’s expression beco peculiar.
She, or rather Zhulong’s request, was to leave behind a "wonder" here that could emit both sunlight and moonlight.
Because He could not control the flow of ti here.
He needed the distinction between sun and moon to help Him mark ti.
Originally, these were things He could handle by rely opening and closing His eyes, but for reasons inconvenient to ntion, Zhulong now couldn’t even do that basic act of opening and closing His eyes.
Thus, external assistance was required.
Otherwise, this place would remain in chaos forever. Once Li Ye took the Sun and Moon and that Ruo Wood with him, this place would quickly revert to chaos and return to its original state.
The giant beast Divine Soul from the Celestial Seedling Garden would also wear down in the repeated cultivation of the land, eventually disappearing.
Without its power to cultivate this land, it would eventually beco a stagnant pool.
By then, even if Zhulong exhausted Himself with toil, it would be impossible to accomplish anything.
—On the surface, this request seed quite normal.
But Li Ye couldn’t shake an odd feeling, as if He cared too much about this place. By rights, as an avatar of Zhulong, this little realm below should be like a pond to Him. Why does He care so much?
Is it because Zhulong’s main body instructed it this way?
That would make it even more intriguing.
Why does the great deity Zhulong in the Upper Realm also care so much about this place?
Linking it back to what Senior Li Xi once told him, he couldn’t help but feel that sothing in the Upper Realm might change, but that is truly a place where countless Immortal Gods reside. What kind of change could influence so many Immortal Gods?
His thoughts raced, but he remained calm on the outside.
Determined to inquire earnestly once he could contact the sect.
Then he agreed: "Okay, I will do my utmost."
The "woman" nodded satisfactorily: "Then I shall leave. If you need sothing, seek it yourself. This chaos has birthed so fine objects.
As long as you can accomplish creating that wonder for , whatever you obtain will be yours."
With that said,
Zhulong’s consciousness withdrew and disappeared.
And after the woman’s body limply collapsed to the ground, it wasn’t long before it turned into a wisp of black ash.
Her very existence had relied on Zhulong’s power.
Being observed and possessed by Zhulong had certainly drained her life completely.
In fact, since the mont Zhulong descended, her life had been counting down, and even Li Ye was powerless.
Zhulong’s power was not sothing as simple as ti; even Jianmu could not interfere.
If Wei Qingye were here, there might have been so way.
Li Ye sighed, looking at the black ash, then buried it into the soil, creating an unnad marker.
Then he began to prepare to "create" the spiritual object that Zhulong needed.
The thing needed to emit both sunlight and moonlight, and it had to shine eternally. Li Ye could only think of using the nurous Ruo Woods, and perhaps seeking out the Chaoqing Realm could yield so results.
Transforming sunlight into moonlight wasn’t hard.
The challenge was extending spiritual power indefinitely and endlessly.
He ruminated deeply.
Casually molding so models in his hands.
Trying to see if they might work.
After seeing Zhulong depart, Lang Yue and the Golden Crow continued to shine brilliantly in their own way. However, both feared for Li Ye’s "fragile" form encountering danger, frequently glancing his way.
How should I put it?
Dog-like concern.
He closed his eyes and began to ponder.
The Heart Soil erged around him, and the Sun and Moon Ring twirled, swiftly extracting potentially useful spirit beasts or spirit plants to see if they could be bound or held any specific needs.
At this mont, he truly felt fortunate to have accessed so spiritual objects from the sect’s treasury after reaching the Nascent Soul stage; otherwise, even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice.
Ti passed slowly this way.
When Li Ye finally made a bit of headway.
At the celestial position buried within the soil, the soil suddenly arched upward.
Soon after,
a beam of radiance arose from the soil.
Li Ye watched that direction.
Unexpectedly, a tiny bird appeared.
Its body bore feathers like star-forged iron, gleaming with a tallic sheen, and it had only one eye, in which a star was embedded.
The star continually rotated,
emitting beams of light.
Every beam that fell left behind a feather.
They seed useful.
But the ti was too short to truly ascertain their purpose.
Yet the panel still activated—
[Na]: Celestial Starbird
[Mood]: Chaos
[State]: A spiritual object grown from a celestial star sown in the chaotic soil enriched by the Celestial Seedling Garden. It possesses the power of [Celestial Star: Dawn] and has a certain chance to bestow a feather upon those who see it during its flight through chaos, granting them insight.
The little bird gazed at Li Ye, then promptly cast a feather toward him.
The tallic feather shot directly into Li Ye’s forehead.
It seed inelegant.
Yet at the instant the feather embedded itself,
it was like a starburst breaking through the obsidian night. Li Ye’s already clear mind beca even clearer, as the scattered starlight, akin to an explosion of inspiration, instantly led him to conceive of so rather intriguing ideas.
Oh?
This is quite impressive.
It actually provided inspiration.
What kind of unimaginable power might other stars possess?
