Li Ye was actually quite dazed.

He just felt that this repetitive action was a bit too monotonous and wondered if something could come out to help him.

As a result, he really did create something like this.

And was he fixated on gourds and turtles or something, why do these things keep appearing?

If this keeps up, he could open a gourd counter by himself.

At this moment, he felt a bit disdainful towards this newly birthed Heart Soil Spirit.

This also made the creature feel Li Ye's "disdain."

It looked up with tearful eyes.

Large teardrops fell from its eyes, melting into the sea.

Senior Brother's eyes flashed, and he quietly stepped back, hiding behind Beaver Bai.

Bai: "..."

The tears born of that poignant emotion turned the surrounding seawater into glistening, round soil particles, circling around Li Ye, as if there were sobs coming from them—

"Woooo..."

Li Ye suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.

That sound pierced right through his Divine Sense defenses, affecting his heart, triggering a poignant emotion that gripped his heart.

And he could feel that it was an involuntary sadness, not an intentional attack by the Heart Soil Spirit.

If it was indeed an intentional attack, it would be even more terrifying.

"Don't cry, don't cry..."

Li Ye didn't expect that just a hint of disdain from him would make this creature cry so tragically, and he hurriedly tried to comfort it.

Fortunately, he was quite skilled at comforting Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants, and with the soothing of Spiritual Qi, the Heart Soil Spirit soon stopped releasing its sad emotions.

It began to gather the surrounding Heart Power, forming clumps of earth to prove its abilities.

Its speed was much faster than Li Ye molding things himself. In just a short moment, it had created a small mountain.

Li Ye was stunned by the sight.

However, because of his connection with the Heart Soil Spirit, he soon grasped the technique.

On the side, he molded another small mountain.

And boasted to Senior Brother, "How's that, my comprehension is not bad, right!"

Senior Brother nodded:

"Your Spirit Pet is indeed interesting, and your comprehension isn't bad either."

"It's just a pity it can only exist in this world built of Heart Power."

"Otherwise, it would be a good helper."

Senior Brother cast a glance at the Heart Soil Spirit and instructed, "When you leave here later, remember to take this creature with you and create a Heart Soil Field using the method I taught you.

This field could be filled with your whimsical ideas, just like the great endeavor of building this place from a barren island back in the day."

Li Ye was slightly taken aback by his words.

"You knew?"

He thought he would have to hide for a while longer, learn more Magic, and was even prepared to stay here a long time, unexpected…

"Senior Brother" had found out on his own.

After all, he is my Senior Brother, even if just an illusion, he is no fool.

Senior Brother nodded, his expression calm, his tone as casual as discussing dinner, "Yeah, I knew."

"It would be laughable if I didn't know."

"I personally taught Bai this skill."

"I had planned to teach you more, but Bai's Heart Power seems unwilling to materialize, so the remaining troublesome things are in your hands now."

"The power within that Blood Spirit Whale might have been triggered by the Blood of Golden Sands, as long as it consumes some blood, it can transform its own blood to the corresponding blood type."

"If that creature truly changes all its blood to the Blood of Golden Sands, I imagine you'd have a hard time dealing with it, but… that's your problem now!"

He looked down at his hand, then praised the beaver, "You've learned quite well."

"When there's time, teach this junior of yours."

Beaver Bai, originally standing upright, instantly hunched over, its previously sleek and shiny fur turned pale, as though weathered by time.

Since it knew, there was no need to hide.

It spoke up:

"This Heart Power took me over a thousand years to accumulate."

"As long as Master wishes to exist, it will continue to exist."

"Why would you expose this?"

The surrounding scenery showed signs of crumbling.

This was the downside of Heart‐Scenes; if one doesn't believe in the existence of the Heart Scene, it collapses immediately.

—In a sense, the Heart Soil Spirit was also a manifestation of Heart‐Scapes. Li Ye's disdain was, to it, a denial of its own existence.

That's why it felt so hurt.

Senior Brother's voice turned serious; he stared at Beaver Bai:

"Do you really want me to say it?"

"In a thousand years, you've only focused on accumulating Heart Power without mastering the remaining three Divine Techniques."

"Earlier, I taught you Split Sand and Fill Sea, and Shaping Water into Mountains in just one year. But what about the other three? You haven't learned them in a thousand years!"

Faced with this near harsh scolding, Beaver Bai instead appeared excited, muttering:

"Even if it's an illusion…"

"Even if it's an illusion I've forced to remain, you can see through its essence."

It let out a soft sigh, acknowledging reality without trying harder to insist.

It said to Li Ye, "Go on, I imagine very soon the grandmaster will personally come himself. Outside, Cultivators residing on Ruoquan Island are still trapped.

I'll offer some treasures to make amends, treating it as… an accident that happened here."

With its voice, Li Ye could sense a breach forming in the surrounding Heart Power.

On this side of the breach was the scenery of blue skies and white clouds, while the other side teemed with all sorts of Demon Beasts running rampant.
