This made Chen Mo, the third senior brother outside who had already read Li Ye's message, sigh involuntarily.

"It's still just the Golden Core; even with the support of Jianmu and Heart Power, doing this will damage your Tao Foundation."

Wei Qingye's brow never relaxed as he asked, "Can I go in and help Brother Li? I have some understanding of the Power of Bronze within the sect."

He opened his palm.

A perfectly round bronze sphere appeared in his palm.

Chen Mo glanced at it, curling his lips, is this what you call having some understanding?

Being able to manifest the Power of Bronze already counts as entry-level, but it turns out this young Sword Cultivator is learning time swordsmanship?

This thought flashed in his mind, and he replied:

"No."

"Junior Brother Li's power can barely maintain himself and the elder blessed by Compassion; if others go in, he won't be able to endure the time changes of so many people."

"If you go, this place will probably collapse immediately."

This answer made Wei Qingye's face even worse, he pressed his lips tightly, staring at Dongcang Town already surrounded by green and bronze colors.

"I'll return to the sect."

"I should be able to request a leaf from the Three Star God Tree."

After saying this, he directly transformed into Sword Light and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

Chen Mo was left looking in the direction he left.

He reached out to gently insert a leaf made of golden jade into the soil.

Once the leaf entered the soil, it instantly melted, and the pale green glow turned into countless threads, dense yet orderly, surrounding Dongcang Town once again.

It's not that he cannot request for elder masters in the sect to solve this, but since Li Ye already has a solution, he just needs to maintain the outside, preventing anyone from disturbing Li Ye.

If it really doesn't work, he can call his master to make up the sky.

After all, they always have backing.

After doing all this, he turned away, there were still so many people to settle.

...

Inside Dongcang Town.

Li Ye walked within the now completely mutated Dongcang Town, his body composed of Spiritual Power.

Beside him, there was nothing.

Even the mud doll had been put into the core of Jianmu to sleep.

Because he really couldn't bear too much life spirituality, he could allow the Potato Flood Dragon and those Five Grains, the houses to exist, because they were created by himself and part of the array.

What he saw now were only Five Grains growing upon countless houses, no trace of people; the past bustling of this place surged in his heart, and that feeling of loneliness immediately followed.

"Old Mr. Qiu."

"Do you really find such longevity interesting?"

He looked in a direction.

A voice immediately came from there: "Immortal Li, is it necessary?"

Then, an expressionless Old Mr. Qiu came from afar, growing lush flowers for miles wherever he tread, beautiful yet void of vitality.

He had just tried breaching the power of Jianmu, but could do nothing; that Deity bestowed him "immortality," but did not grant other powers to breach Jianmu's seal.

He never expected Li Ye to actually do this, trapping them inside here.

His quest for longevity was not to live in such a desolate place!

Seeing Old Mr. Qiu's sullen face, Li Ye instead laughed aloud: "This is the longevity you asked for; rest assured, what I have most is patience and time."

Saying this, his gaze carried a touch of evaluation, like assessing a piece of meat, "I can be sure He granted you no additional power, yet your body remains youthful, still growing such an abundance of wheat.

If I could capture and imprison you, it would truly be an endless food supply, enough to feed Dongcang Town's people for a long, long time."

This statement made Old Mr. Qiu shudder.

The reason he dared speak to Li Ye this way, one was because of that compassionate Deity's gift, the nearly infinite rebirth and eternal life force.

Secondly, he had always received the Four Seasons Sect's grace, believing these Immortals should accept him—yes, he, too, could live long, wasn't that counted as an Immortal?

All Immortals, why need there be such ruthlessness?

Li Ye could vaguely sense his emotions.

This.

Merely gifted longevity, yet it was already so twisted?

"Then let's see if your Deity can withstand the torment of eternal life."

At this point, Li Ye no longer spoke another word to him.

He turned back to his small courtyard.

The house sensed his unquiet mood and immediately offered... Potato Flood Dragon Rice, and the Jade Fragrant Melon of this place.

The greasy aroma of Potato Flood Dragon meat and Compassion rice wafted through the air, with the Jade Fragrant Melon perfectly sliced open, each piece exuding extreme sweetness.

Even though Li Ye was now just the false body of Jianmu, he could still "smell" this wonderful fragrance.

But the problem was.

He was in the body of Jianmu!

Before that divine technique was dissolved, he could only be Jianmu. If he were to act contrary to Jianmu, it would cause the divine technique to fail, and if it failed, there would be no way to keep Old Mr. Qiu trapped.

He couldn't eat.

So he merely lay down silently to one side.

Xiangshui House seemed to realize its foolishness and quickly buried the food under the roots of Jianmu...

Strangely enough, once buried, Li Ye actually felt their Spiritual Qi, as if he was tasting that oily fragrance and the sweetness of the food and melon.

Having finished eating, Li Ye intended to close his eyes and rest his mind.

But he found it wasn't possible.

Once he truly slipped into the deep and free state of meditation, his Heart Power became unrestrained and flowed freely.

At that point, this divine technique would also break.

After all, it could be said that the only thing holding everything together was a single breath of determination.

"I need to do something after all."

"It's a pity I haven't brought any other Spirit Plants, nor can I plant much else."

"Hmm...?"

Suddenly, he looked up at the cluster of green bubbles slowly moving toward his main body and the multicolored fragments within them.

Why not try to enlighten some little ones to keep company and play with?

With this thought, he proceeded accordingly.

The book for Enlightenment was still "Nine Songs Mountain Ghost".

There was no choice.

It was the only book suited for the Tao Laws of all living things, after all, the Mountain Spirit itself was a spirit monster of the mountain.

"If there be someone in those mountain caves..."

As he recited "Mountain Ghost," lotus petals seemed to scatter from his mouth, surrounding the multicolored fragments.

The Merit consumed was very little.

Or rather, there was no consumption at all—each fragment consumed less than one tael, a world of difference from the time with the Tribulation Fire Spirit.

Very soon,

Surrounded and embraced by the lotus petals,

One by one, peculiar little creatures appeared out of nowhere.

They resembled humans somewhat in appearance, but their backs sprouted wings, wings that were multicolored like rainbow fragments, each varying in shape and size.

As they flapped, each moved independently, forming a continuous colorful halo, magnificent and splendid.

[Name]: Jianmu Spirit Monster of Emotion—Joy

[Mood]: Joy · Eternal Peace

[State]: An emotion-based Demon Spirit created by "Jianmu · Li Ye" using the Holy Book "Nine Songs Mountain Ghost", they can extend their own emotions onto Spirit Plants or Spirit Beasts through the power of Jianmu.

The Spirit Plant will bloom an extra "Flower of Joy".

Before Li Ye could finish reading the description, those little creatures flapped their wings, happily circling around the towering Jianmu, some bolder ones even hugging and lightly kissing the trunk of Jianmu.

Where they kissed, orange-red flowers bloomed.

They looked like chrysanthemums, growing with great fervor, giving off a sense of overflowing vitality and joy.

"Ha... Haha?"

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The joy from deep in his heart caused his branches and canopy to sway, and the sunlight filtered through the Xiguang Bell increased.

This joy, along with the sunlight, fell on the Five Grains in countless homes, lifting their previous wilting state, causing them to sway happily along with the sunlight.

Suddenly, the entire scene became bright and vibrant.

This joy triggered something unknown, accelerating the growth of the Five Grains, and in the blink of an eye, they all ripened.

The aroma of a bountiful harvest spread across the land.

Li Ye reached out to a stalk of wheat, peeled it open and discovered it was indeed ripe.

No,

It was fully ripe, and the yield was double what a wheat stalk should have normally produced!

Moreover, the Vitality Power around the Compassion seemed to have become denser.

Could it be that five Grains could also receive Compassion's blessing, sprouting "Auspicious Fruits"?
