"..."

"For a mortal, this is indeed too thrilling."

Li Ye rubbed his temples, murmuring to himself.

The desolate snowy night, the yard surrounded by a deserted snow forest, and outside there was a gigantic black bear ferociously pounding the door.

This would probably frighten any mortal.

However, a black bear?

As his heart thought moved, the panel immediately showed——

[Name]: Wishful Bear

[Mood]: Agitated, Hungry

[State]: A Wishful Bear from the Suike Realm, soaked in Demonic Qi.

Possesses a strong ferocity in the dark, fearless of death.

During the "Winter" season, it is driven by Demonic Qi, mimicking the actions of the Human Race and attacking all living beings it sees.

"Oh?"

Demonic Qi?

He examined the black bear with his Divine Sense, discovering that it was wrapped in a familiar yet chillingly mad Demonic Qi.

That kind of Demonic Qi... A long time ago, when he lived in Huiya Marketplace, he had seen a similar existence—the white Snow Demon.

At that time, he didn't have the opportunity to intervene as the Beaver and the Flint Fire Crystal Insect took care of everything.

But the Demonic Qi on this black bear now was absurdly strong.

The Demonic Qi alone was at the Foundation Establishment Stage late-period level.

So from which world does this entity come? The Suike Realm?

Moreover,

Although Li Ye's powers were sealed, that indistinct sense from the Jianmu told him this was no longer the former snow forest.

As the ink-like night encircled him, the surrounding space also twisted, even his Divine Sense could not extend far—the tangled space would sever the Divine Sense.

The Divine Sense that could originally cover hundreds of miles now merely covered... just a few hundred meters around the yard.

"Interesting."

"Is it another world then."

Li Ye decided not to sleep, starting to plan what cards he could use now, what he could use against the black bear outside.

After all, this door had cost him quite a few Spirit Stones, and repairing it if it got torn down would be quite troublesome, not to mention there might be other dangers.

The pale snow phoenix-tail ducks seemed to be in slumber, or perhaps they'd grown accustomed to the black bear's presence.

Otherwise, upon such dangerous Demon Beast approaching, they should have risen in resistance.

Pine trees were useless.

And the little iron pot... don't even think about it.

Thinking over and over.

Unless he broke the seal on his cultivation right now. Otherwise, he seemingly only had those few eggs to use.

Or else, at this terrible "Qi Refining Second Layer" cultivation, how could he face a Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beast soaked in Demonic Qi?

"Forget it."

"Let's give it a try."

"If it doesn't work, I'll overturn the table."

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. He reached out to take those few eggs shimmering with Spiritual Light into his palm.

Even with the Qi Refining Second Layer cultivation, it was still quite difficult to wield their power, but fortunately, a cultivator never solely relies on brute force.

——He took out some Spirit Stones, laid down an Array around himself, and then etched the Array Pattern with the branches of Emotion Song, channeling the Spirit Stone's Spiritual Power directly into himself.

This way, he could use the Spiritual Power provided by the Spirit Stones to assist him in performing his Divine Techniques.

He tentatively converted his own Spiritual Power into willow branches, gently probing into the eggshells.

With a "hoo", the feather-rising flames swiftly extended along the willow branches to his fingertips, swirling around his fair fingers with leaps.

This was an extremely wondrous force.

Not burning hot, just the warmth of soaking in a hot spring. It seemed to carry a fragrance like wood burning.

Just at that moment——

"Quack quack~" a duck's cry came from within the flames.

Immediately, Li Ye felt the flames merge into his body from his fingertips, and along with it came a Divine Technique. A Divine Technique belonging to the pale snow phoenix-tail ducks.

"Thousand Pure Phoenix-tail?"

What kind of name is this.

No, what kind of situation is this?

Li Ye wore an expression of surprise as he turned back to look.

He saw at the hem of his Taoist Robe, the splendid phoenix fire had solidified into elegant tail feathers, trailing on the ground.

The most outrageous part was, he could actually control these tail feathers—once his heart thought moved, the tail feathers swayed as if they'd always been part of him. Spiritual Light scintillated, flames leaped.

"..."

Li Ye shook his tail again, confirming he had full control over it, then opened the door aggressively.

Just as the black bear was about to pounce, the tail feathers swished, the splendid phoenix-tail brushing over the bear's body, the phoenix fire instantly igniting the giant bear.

"Oooh!" This purifying fire drove the Wishful Bear into a frenzy, madly swinging its malodorous paws in all directions.

Li Ye dodged while sensing the wondrous feeling brought by the Divine Technique—he seemed to be able to control the fire to "purify" something unknown.

For instance.

He could choose to burn the entire Wishful Bear, or control the flames to burn only part of it or a certain type of Spiritual Power, leaving other parts unaffected.

So this was the phoenix's purely ideal purification power?

Truly miraculous.

What can it purify?

It has to be Demonic Qi!

Li Ye directly controlled the flames to burn the Demonic Qi clinging to the bear like a disease.

The process of burning the Demonic Qi was even more painful.

The Demonic Qi frantically burrowed into the Wishful Bear, but the flames followed closely, burning it deeper, the chase ensued, ultimately the Demonic Qi couldn't escape the clutches of the fire, like a thread being scorched bit by bit.

"Ow!"

"Oooh!"

The Wishful Bear rolled painfully on the ground, crashing around, even collapsing Li Ye's yard walls.

Looking at the collapsed yard wall outside the ghostly snow forest, Li Ye's brow twitched, instinctively feeling a trace of unease.

It seemed... his previously solid "sanctuary" had shattered.

"Must solve quicker."

Li Ye straightforwardly put the Spirit Stones into his mouth, chewing, extracting the phoenix fire from the second egg to hasten the process.
