Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 652 - 368: Gui Xu Black Spot, Ao Qing’s Request (Part 2)

Chapter 652: Chapter 368: Gui Xu Black Spot, Ao Qing’s Request (Part 2)

Of course, it’s all relative.

Compared to Li Ye or the cultivators of the Four Seasons Sect, they were still a bit weaker.

But this also meant that at least they weren’t puppets or some other race—would a normal human being really have a jade scroll pop out from their head, and then show a dazed expression as if their whole being had been scrubbed clean?

At this point, someone beside spoke up bravely:

"Senior... you better read that jade scroll quickly, it’s his memory. If it’s away too long, he’ll completely lose his divine soul."

Li Ye nodded.

Then he beckoned at the jade scroll.

The jade scroll flew right in front of him, surrounded by his spiritual power, and its contents naturally laid bare before him.

It really was a memory.

And it detailed the entire process from being birthed from a strange liquid-filled tree, to learning various things, undergoing trials, and having all sorts of items "implanted" in his body.

Since he crossed over, Li Ye, who had never been through much hardship, just wanted to say one thing—after experiencing all that, why are you still alive? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Even the puppets in their sect, with some spirituality, get a daily scrubbing; yet here you are, working diligently every day, living worse than a puppet.

Thinking this in his heart, he quickly found the part about Gui Xu, and after rereading it carefully, a sharp light flickered in his eyes.

Gui Xu...

At least, according to the summaries by the Gnostic School and the Four Seasons Sect, Gui Xu seemed to be an exceptionally special "celestial phenomenon" found in all complete worlds.

Its power is in charge of the world’s "cycle."

From what Li Ye knew, rainwater falls to the ground then evaporates, circulating endlessly; in essence, the world’s water hasn’t actually increased, but various circumstances have changed the water’s form, leading to the idea that water has decreased.

And Gui Xu is such an existence.

Its nature... is akin to chaos.

—In the studies of the Gnostic School, they attempt, through research on Gui Xu and certain myths, to create magical treasures from Gui Xu to decompose spiritual power into various ores.

This involves the concept of "spiritual power creating all things."

Though there’s no evidence whether these ores exist because of spiritual power or change their form due to spiritual power’s nurturing, spiritual qi is useful and indeed very much so.

If spiritual power could create a variety of ores, it would be equivalent to having achieved the means to construct worlds.

The thing about Gui Xu, though, despite everyone’s knowledge of its existence, is that it’s typically found in places like the end of the earth, which are notoriously inaccessible.

Moreover, the Celestial Dao deliberately hides Gui Xu, preventing people from finding it.

Li Ye, at least, having stayed here so long, has occasionally heard of people seeking Gui Xu but never succeeding—not even the archives of the Spiritual Fertility Hall mention the exact location of Gui Xu.

That means even the Four Seasons Sect can’t find Gui Xu’s location.

For a major sect, this is extremely rare, even inconceivable, considering that this world was defined by the ancestors of the major sects together.

It’s like an ancestor left you a mansion with gardens and buried treasures, but you can’t even find a pond inside. It’s strange just to think about it.

So how did that Earthquake Worm get its hands on this thing?

Li Ye casually inserted the jade scroll back into the person’s head and even tidied up the skull—having taken a quick glance and roughly understood the structure.

Then he seriously pondered for a moment.

"Forget it."

"Let’s give it a try."

He directly pointed at the amber.

Revealing a gap.

Then forcefully inserted his spiritual power along with Jianmu’s branches, experiencing the marvelous sensation of spiritual power being broken down, absorbed, and then reassembled.

As the saying goes, practice brings true knowledge.

It was during this process that Li Ye roughly figured out the function and operation of this thing, and as he suspected, it could indeed reshape spiritual power.

If you know the complete spiritual power composition and structure of an item, you can use it to create an identical replica—the spiritual power structure being identical means it’s exactly the same.

Only it involves too much of nature’s essence.

For example, are similar flowers the same flower, potentially leading to a good debate among some cultivators.

If used to create spirit beasts or... beings close to the human race, it would surely lead to unsavory consequences.

And even earn a harsh punishment from the Celestial Dao.

After all, creation is a power belonging to the Celestial Dao.

Back then, Li Ye only managed to reshape a body for Taoist Friend Wen through certain methods, and even that caused a bit of trouble with the Celestial Dao.

If he truly crafted a being from soul to body, even his connections might not save him from getting a bit of heavenly punishment.

Just as Li Ye contemplated how to properly utilize this thing, he suddenly felt a gaze on him, and promptly tucked the captive into a small world.

He looked towards the source of the gaze.

Then he saw Dragon Clan Ao Qing, left here by Ao Kong, sneakingly peeking over, clearly a dragon yet somehow always appearing mysteriously evasive.

"..."

It seemed lately he’s been running into all sorts of peculiar individuals.

Thinking so, Li Ye still maintained the warm smile he wore for others: "Taoist Friend Ao, though the divine dragon is ever-elusive, one shouldn’t hide yourself!"

Ao Qing: "..."

Why did this True Man Lingye seem much more lively?

Usually, he maintained a demeanor, but now even joking around?

Thinking this, but showing nothing, he swiftly approached, transforming into a tall young man just before colliding with Li Ye.

He cupped his hands to Li Ye and bluntly said: "Dao You, I have a matter to discuss. I want your Ruoquan Sea Region to formally connect with the Suspended Sea.

Then the Dragon Clan from the Chaotic Outer Domain can travel here, and you could easily obtain dragon blood, dragon scales, dragon horns, dragon pearls, and the like.

What do you think?"

Wait, what are you even talking about?

Dragon scales, dragon blood, dragon horns, dragon pearls?

Someone might think you’re planning to dismantle your own kind to sell them to me, but we generally don’t kill around here.

"Haha."

"Dao You, you’re certainly joking. If they come here, I’ll definitely take care of them, and they won’t get hurt."

Li Ye’s words implied he already agreed to the connection with the Suspended Sea since such opportunities to connect with the outside world were rare, let alone direct contact with the Tao Furnace Realm.

He was curious to see what the Dragon Clan was like.

Though not as ’violent’ as Ao Qing, occasionally drawing some blood or collecting fallen scales shouldn’t be a problem.

But who knew Ao Qing would wave his hand and say: "These youngsters have grown a bit too arrogant under our care, with no one daring to check them.

So if they come to you, don’t hold back, hit them or scold them as needed, or even kill them if necessary, as their divine souls are already merged with the Skysuspended Sea’s Heavenly Dragon Pillar.

At most, they’d just need to cool down in an egg for a while.

Guess it’ll also push those Dragon Couples who’ve long been neglecting their offspring to put in some effort, instead of lazily lounging around in the cloud sea drinking northwest wind, they’re turning into loaches!"

When saying this, Ao Qing’s eyes even sparkled, like two suns embedded in them.

Li Ye: "..."

He couldn’t help but rub his temples again.

Even his smile became a bit stiff.

But he was indeed intrigued.

How chaotic must those dragon younglings be, for even their usually indulgent dragon elders to speak of them this way?
