Li Ye: "..."

So, can't you really say something easier to understand? Besides, I always feel that Compassion seems more like the Buddhist Sect than the Taoist Sect.

However, he did understand the meaning of Compassion—simply put, Its power has no inherent good or evil; it all depends on how it is used. Once someone prays to It, It will grant them power, and it seems It also maintains the operation of many grotto heavens in the sect.

This answer left Li Ye unable to refute.

Because now he is burdened with the gift of Compassion, and he deeply feels how much this power would help if used for farming. But not needing a price is the greatest price itself.

He sighed lightly and stopped speaking.

He just stepped forward.

His steps were steady, but not slow.

Soon he arrived at the pit where Old Mr. Qiu was dealt with.

The place was still bubbling with yellow spring water, exuding a sense of dead silence.

Old Mr. Qiu, who had absorbed too much of Compassion's power, was in a misshapen state, with various branches and wheat sprouts growing wildly, even emerging from his eyes, ears, and mouth.

He collapsed in the water of the pit and was still alive.

Upon seeing Li Ye approaching, he frantically waved his arms, but because of the clusters of wheat growing from his mouth, his voice was muffled and unclear.

"...Save."

"Immortal."

Only such broken words could barely be heard.

"You want me to save you?"

Li Ye looked down at Old Mr. Qiu, no longer showing the slightest trace of pity in his eyes: "It's okay, you will be freed soon."

At this point, Li Ye really did not have the vitality to slowly tend to it anymore.

He stretched out his arm and grabbed Old Mr. Qiu's body, and the gift belonging to Compassion surged from the latter's body into his own like flowing water.

Old Mr. Qiu seemed to know what was going to happen.

Instead, he calmed down a lot.

The power of longevity was like a breath he could never grasp as he was dying, only able to slip away through his mouth and nose.

He said nothing more.

Soon, the entire gift from Compassion in his body was absorbed by Li Ye, and his body turned to black ashes, sinking into the yellow spring water.

"Huff."

Afterward, he directly leaped, taking all the blessings of Compassion, and jumped into the pool.

The yellow spring water instantly enveloped his body.

That pervasive feeling, like a thousand swords stabbing into his body, embraced him, and the blessing of Compassion seemed to clash fiercely with the spiritual power of the spring water.

Amidst the rising mist, it seemed like more figures were about to emerge from the haze of the yellow spring.

Originally, Li Ye did not quite understand why Compassion's divine power could give birth to so many profound armor soldiers here, but now he understood.

In this water pit…the yellow spring water was clearly filled with endless mycelium!

When the mycelium encountered Compassion's divine power, it would be activated, growing flesh and bone, transforming into profound armor soldiers one after another.

Yet, why did these profound armor soldiers, clearly formed from condensed mycelium, have no effect on the panel?

He didn't think much about it.

Or rather, he did not have time to think much.

This process of eliminating Compassion's divine power was painful, and combined with the fact that he needed to merge the Purple Mansion into his upper dantian, it left him unable to care about so much.

His whole body was in pain from the inside out.

Yet, he inexplicably felt somewhat relieved; eliminating this excess divine power was indeed a good thing for him.

Compassion's divine power was truly too strong.

And it was granted upon request. If he didn't mind his power being polluted, he could even use Compassion's power to achieve the nascent soul…and attain even higher realms.

"Forget it."

"This was all because of a moment's mistake, leading to such tribulations; anything taken to the extreme would breed demonic paths."

"I just wish to expel this divine power quickly."

"And drive a nail into the Hell Path..."

—These were the words he once again asked of Compassion, and this deity who granted upon request still fulfilled his desire.

As he closed his eyes.

Divine power was released like a tide, seemingly overflowing with golden-green blood, instantly dyeing all the yellow spring water.

Many soldiers emerged from the mist, only to be suppressed beneath the Demon-Suppressing Tree that Li Ye had prepared in advance.

Eventually, the vast divine power gathered on the branch of Jianmu that Li Ye had broken off.

And then.

The branch, which had almost become transparent, suddenly flew towards somewhere, as if piercing through a barrier.

With a "pop."

The yellow spring water and it suddenly disappeared, as if it had leaked to someplace else.

Leaving only Li Ye lying at the bottom of the pit, eyes already closed in exhaustion.

At this moment exactly.

The bronze sky curtain maintained by Jianmu finally shattered.

Without Li Ye's maintenance, without the continual infusion of Compassion's divine power, it naturally should dissipate.

And all the demon spirits had long been collected within it.

It had grown so vividly, flourishing beneath the bronze sky curtain, yet it vanished silently, like a morning's illusion, disappearing when touched by daylight.

The moment the sky curtain dissipated.

The several True Men waiting outside had originally intended to enter immediately, but they were slightly too slow by a breath.

Then they could only watch as the spiritual power capable of forming the earth embryo membrane surged from the earth towards the isolated island of Dongcang Town; that power was so urgent, even somewhat eager.

One must know there still remained much of Compassion's divine power here, but amid the surging milky-white halos, all were silently dissolved, becoming part of the earth embryo membrane.

As for the seemingly splendid flowers that had grown along Li Ye's path, they continuously emitted vitality, replenishing the deficiency of the earth.

In an instant, the entire Dongcang Town was enveloped, and all living beings within it fell into a deep sleep under the protection of the earth embryo membrane.

Now.

The array at Dongcang Marketplace outside was finally linked to this place once more, the milky white light connected into one.

A book's prototype formed at the core of the entire array.

It slowly flew over the area covered by the earth embryo membrane and finally landed on the chest of the sleeping Li Ye. It was clearly just a small book, yet it even temporarily suppressed the Sun and Moon Ring that guarded its master.

The truly infinite gentle spiritual power belonging to the earth repaired Li Ye's body, which could be said to be riddled with holes due to being filled with Compassion's divine power, meanwhile, claiming ownership over itself as it did.

A unique power was suffusing.

Immortal power.

Or rather the immortal power of the "Earth Immortal," leading Li Ye's consciousness to truly explore this place already deemed the "Dongcang Grotto Heaven."

At this very moment.

The three True Men who had been unable to enter all this time were finally able to come in.

Chen Mo looked at the already sleeping Li Ye and shook his head, saying:

"This boy, could he have muddled into becoming an Earth Immortal like this?"

"It seems to be the case."

True Man Cailing observed clearly.

She pointed at the giant bamboo wood ants not far away, wrapped in the earth embryo membrane, smiling: "Isn't this the Mountain Guardian Divine Beast decreed by the Earth Immortal?"

The bamboo wood ants she pointed at were the lucky survivors from the previous war, and they were undergoing transformation, their emerald-green bodies tinged with a faint milky white.

They were like excellent jade stones nurtured from the depths of the earth.

Any lingering "demon" spiritual qi inside them was all entirely dissipated.

One by one, they burrowed into the ground, transforming into milky white bamboo shoots like jade stone, the roots interlinked, growing outwards from Dongcang Town.

In the blink of an eye, they formed lush bamboo forests.

The collision of bamboo leaves produced beautiful music—jade stones striking together, naturally marvelous.

Shading the now riddled with holes Dongcang Town, which now appeared only as a vast, endless bamboo forest shining bright like jade stone under the sunlight.

Thus the Earth Vein Array connected, with the earth overflowing with clear springs, flowing deep within the bamboo forest, with the bamboo forest swaying and springs gushing, the abundant spiritual qi made one involuntarily squint.

All five senses felt, all was a comfortable enjoyment.

The three True Men exchanged glances.

Especially True Man Xuan, who had prepared well to repair the array.

This.

It recovered just like this?

So what was all the racking of his brains and efforts spent painstakingly planning to repair the array for over these few days for?
