"No need."

These dozen giant lake Spirit Beavers were exceptionally intelligent. After waving their hands, they each found a chair to sit down, half-lying, looking exactly like humans.

Such handsome Spirit Beasts naturally drew attention, causing the passing servants to take a few extra glances, especially at their well-proportioned and robust bodies.

Spirit Beasts, indeed.

Strong, beautiful, or possessing an ethereal presence would always attract attention.

Before long.

True Man Du, who had previously spoken with Li Ye, came personally.

Before arriving, he already knew it was Li Ye's Spiritual Mechanism Vine visiting. Although he felt a bit regretful, he was helpless.

Of course, he hoped Li Ye would come personally. The deeds Li Ye had done in recent days had already spread far and wide, making him famous.

Having such a person visit would be an enormous opportunity, even if they just offered some guidance.

True Man Du suppressed his regret.

He smiled at the Spiritual Mechanism Vine and said, "It's a trouble for Yang Ke Dao You to come personally."

—The Spiritual Mechanism Vine exclusively belongs to the Su Xing lineage's Spirit Plant. Seeing the Spiritual Mechanism Vine is like seeing the Cultivator themselves. Although nominally Li Ye's Senior Uncle, he dared not be presumptuous.

After all, he truly couldn't offer Li Ye many benefits, but if Li Ye wished, he could let his family have several unique Spiritual Objects at any time.

No choice.

With the burden of family, he ultimately couldn't treat Li Ye purely from a sect point of view.

"Not a bother, not at all."

The Spiritual Mechanism Vine politely replied, then directly got to the point: "My master, True Man Lingye, has already identified the problem with this Marketplace.

So he specially sent me to diagnose and treat it."

"Ah." True Man Du recalled the matter Zhao He previously investigated, becoming enlightened. Could True Man Lingye truly not need to come personally to clarify the issue?

"May I ask what causes it?" True Man Du asked anxiously.

"It's caused by the Earth Emotions Technique."

The Spiritual Mechanism Vine did not hold back: "When the Earth Emotions Technique was initially performed, the earth and water were supposed to stabilize, but over time, the focus of your Marketplace should now be Dongyan Lake, right?"

"So, the earth feels discontented."

"Earth Emotions, Earth Emotions, naturally should be treated equally."

Is that true?

This cause was truly unexpected for True Man Du. After all, the Earth Emotions Technique was applied thousands of years ago when the Dongyan Marketplace was first established by a Spirit Plant Master.

He had discussed it with his family and the sect's True Men, but no one noticed the Earth Emotions Technique.

Could it be Li Ye spotted it without even coming?

What talent that must be.

True Man Du never doubted whether Li Ye's diagnosis could be wrong, as he instinctively knew that while this seemed impossible, the more impossible something seemed, perhaps it was the truth!

Considering this, he eagerly said, "Did True Man Lingye provide a treatment method?"

"Of course."

This time, the response came from the largest of the giant lake Spirit Beavers.

It stood up, looking directly at True Man Du: "According to my master, all you need to do is help me and my siblings with one thing, and we can resolve this matter!"

"Whatever it is, just say it." True Man Du promised.

The giant lake Spirit Beaver stated its request.

Upon hearing the request, True Man Du's expression changed subtly, becoming quite peculiar.

But, he agreed.

Moreover, with a complex expression, he led them to the Earth Emotions Hall, present in every Marketplace, where the Earth Emotions Technique had been originally performed.

After opening the hall door, the Spirit Beavers strutted boldly inside, leaving True Man Du and the Spiritual Mechanism Vine outside the hall.

The two exchanged a glance.

Both looked expectantly at the vast, misty lake in the distance.

Soon enough.

The lake surface suddenly revealed gigantic Spirit Beavers entirely composed of mist, surrounded by the Immortal Light of the Emotion Song and the benevolent and bright Treasure Lotus Lamp's phantom image.

Each of them was several hundred feet tall.

Amidst the swirling mist, the Immortal Light from the Emotion Song and the firelight from the Treasure Lotus Lamp intertwined, and with their bodies almost entirely formed from purest Spiritual Water, they exuded a sacred and dignified aura.

All the Cultivators in the Marketplace and on the lake stared curiously at the divine-like... giant Beavers suddenly appearing.

"Aren't these the giant lake Spirit Beavers?"

"Are they really this massive? Could they be Nascent Soul Beavers?"

"Wait, what are those flags behind them?"

The last question caught the attention of many Cultivators—the sight of an illusory great flag inscribed with the words "Spirit Leaf" fluttering in the wind behind these dozen or so Spirit Beavers.

"Spirit Leaf? Could it be True Man Lingye?"

"I heard True Man Lingye cultivated many unique Spirit Plants and Beasts. The Gourd Pill and Gourd Oil we're buying and the Potato Flood Dragon meat we eat were cultivated by the elder."

"So these giant Beavers are too? So powerful..."

Amidst the awe-filled discussions of the Cultivators.

The giant Beavers slowly drew closer to land, and the Spiritual Power surrounding them approached the earth. This caused the long-standing Resentment Qi in the earth, triggered by the Emotion Song and the Treasure Lotus Lamp, to transform.

Turning into an array of pitch-black Flood Dragons.

They silently roared at the giant Beavers.

But the earth trembled.

—This was a warning, as the earth had been exploited for thousands of years, with the entire Dongyan Marketplace's Array and Spirit Vein gradually developing towards the lake.

They were already furious beyond measure.

If not for the great Spirit Plant Master's divine abilities in initially establishing the Array and palace, preventing the heavens and earth from "going to war," they would have acted by now.

Now they dare to provoke and approach them?

Do they truly think because the underground dragon hasn't spoken, it's been mistaken for a mud eel!

While the Flood Dragons were raging, the giant Beavers' response was simple; they leapt forward aggressively, pounding the underground dragons relentlessly.

This naturally incited a fierce counterattack from the underground dragons.

Spiritual Qi transformed into the terrifying might of crumbled mountains and cracked earth. The dragon's tail struck heavily onto the Beavers, dispersing water vapor from their bodies, with inner Spiritual Qi and the Immortal Light of the Emotion Song and Treasure Lotus Lamp's firelight falling like rain.

Like blood scattering.

They fluttered down onto the earth.

The Spirit Plants and Beasts living on land, drenched as if by heavenly nectar and dew, turned spirited and lively.

It seemed the dark aura became slightly lighter.

Of course, the giant Beavers didn't surrender easily either; their claws and mouths were weapons, grabbing and biting, tearing the black scales off the underground dragons, some tossed into the lake, some directly devoured.

Eyes filled with ferocity and battle spirit.

Those black scales thrown into the lake water were gently embraced by the water, seemingly blossoming into five-colored leaf Lotus Flowers.

Gradually falling silent amidst the boiling, then completely embraced by the lake water, sinking to the bottom and disappearing.

The intense battle between giant creatures certainly was a spectacle—many Cultivators even began gambling, betting on who would win or lose.

This scene was witnessed by True Man Du.

"Is it really possible??

He looked at the underground dragons and giant Beavers bruising each other, bleeding with every bite, akin to a life-and-death struggle, feeling quite moved.

Could Li Ye truly come up with such a method?

The Spiritual Mechanism Vine was also stunned, but it was, after all, just a vine and wouldn't reveal its shock to others.

The transformation of the earth and lake instantly made it understand Li Ye's idea—simply put, it was about letting the earth vent its grievances, while Dongyan Lake compensates in return.

After all, they were initially catalyzed by the Earth Emotions Technique, and it was the passage of time that led to this state; they were fundamentally one entity.

Given that they are one, communication is relatively easy.

Moreover, this somewhat primitive spirituality is actually quite straightforward.

The giant Beavers represented the lake, and the spilled blood and water were pure Spiritual Power and the Divine Light of the Emotion Song and Treasure Lotus Lamp. As long as they scattered onto the earth, it could be considered compensation.

Underground dragons represented the earth; what was torn from them were deep-seated resentments. Those resentments, absorbed by the lake, and then blended with the Spiritual Power essence from within would naturally relieve those resentments.

It's just...

The only thing the Spiritual Mechanism Vine was curious about was, how was this achieved?

Why could the giant lake Spirit Beavers get Dongyan Lake's spirituality to cooperate—if the spirituality were inherently this generous, the previous issues wouldn't have occurred.
