At this moment, with so many True Men present, he directly asked:

"Disciple has some doubts about Chaos Soil."

"I would like to ask all the elders for clarification."

Hearing his question, the seated Nascent Souls became interested.

Chaos Soil?

This kid has actually come into contact with a spiritual object of such rank.

They were very curious about what novel ideas Li Ye might have.

Eagerly they asked:

"Just say it."

"Chaos Soil, what are your thoughts?"

"With us here, what problem can't be solved?"

Li Ye felt reassured at heart; these elders were indeed reliable. He began:

"Disciple wishes to know..."

"Is there any way to solve the drawbacks of Chaos Soil? To allow Spirit Plants to retain their original spirituality and undergo controlled mutations amidst chaos?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The expressions of the Nascent Souls suddenly became quite subtle.

Perplexed, curious, enlightened...

In the end, it was a female cultivator who smiled slightly and said:

"Flying Light Cyan Lotus."

"Do you know of the legendary Chaos Seed Cyan Lotus?"

"That kind of Spirit Plant is very rare, capable of retaining its complete spirituality amidst chaos, thus naturally able to control the mutation of Spirit Plants."

Li Ye blinked.

Is that so?

No wonder... no wonder this lotus is so precious.

So it has such magical effects?

But, such a magical Spirit Plant was given to me to use at the Qi Refining Stage, truly daring.

...

Although Li Ye passed the assessment.

He still has to wait for others to come out before they can leave together.

This was also what he was anticipating.

He was curious about what kind of spiritual plants and spirit beasts other Spirit Plant Masters would create, so he stood there waiting patiently.

Soon enough.

The first senior sister exited the small Grotto Heaven.

Upon seeing Li Ye standing to the side, she was momentarily stunned, then nodded amicably, and presented her examination items—

"Patriarch."

"These two are the disciple's answers."

She brought out an ordinary grey-yellow sheep with massive curled horns and a bud-closed epiphyllum flower that seemed to have starlight flowing on its petals.

Li Ye did not use the panel.

He observed the sheep carefully; it seemed to be called a Spiral-Horned Rock Sheep, a spirit beast mainly living in places of treacherous terrain.

If its milk is drunk, mortal offspring could grow strong and healthy, living a lifetime without illness; if the offspring of a cultivator, they could strengthen and become particularly successful in Body Forging.

Many Body Forging cultivators are very fond of this sheep's milk, even drinking a cup daily when over a hundred years old.

Especially common in the Northern Domain.

If you see a towering strong man holding a jade cup drinking milk there, it's quite a normal sight.

However.

The conditions for it to produce milk are quite troublesome; it needs to frequently graze on moss or Spirit Plants rich in Earth Spiritual Qi on various high mountain rock faces, and only when nurturing offspring does it produce some milk.

Its offspring are also peculiar; if they don't drink enough milk, they may even die on the spot, unable to grow up at all.

So how to obtain sufficient sheep milk while maintaining the balance of the population is a problem many cultivators are studying.

If the Spiral-Horned Rock Sheep grew wings, wouldn't it be unable to leap and pivot among the mountain rocks with its hooves, unable to absorb enough Earth Vein Soil Spiritual Qi, causing issues?

Li Ye had myriad thoughts, yet nothing showed on his face.

He saw the Spiral-Horned Rock Sheep being lifted into the air by a force, with the Nascent Souls watching it.

One of them, a tall and muscled female cultivator with muscles knotted like the roots of old trees, gently pointed at the sheep.

The sheep then seemed to gain spirituality.

Bleating and struggling.

Soon afterward.

It suddenly grew a pair of pure white wings, but these wings did not grow on its back but rather at its four limbs.

Paired with its fuzzy grey-yellow wool, it looked like it was wearing a pair of woolen boots.

With these four "boots," the Nascent Soul True Man seemingly deliberately retracted Spiritual Power and waved a large hand—

A mountain range immediately emerged in the distance.

The mountain range was obviously somewhat barren and very cold, with perpetual snow on the rocks in many places and only scant areas barely supporting the growth of some moss and Spirit Plants.

The sheep excitedly bleated.

Jumping towards the high mountains, its four-winged "boots" did not give it the ability to fly but rather the ability to hover briefly and enhance its jumping power.

It joyfully hopped over the rocks.

Beside it, an ordinary Rock Sheep's phantom, visible only to the cultivators here, mimicked its movements.

The comparison was evident.

It jumped higher and further than an ordinary Rock Sheep, but its internal Spiritual Power consumption also increased, all consumed by its leg wings.

Every leap used more than twice the Spiritual Power and stamina than before.

But while consuming, the small wings also absorbed the Earth's Spiritual Power when touching the ground, seemingly obtaining even more pure Spiritual Qi in this cycle.

In the Cultivation Realm, wings are merely 'treasures' for deploying 'flight' Divine Techniques; relying on them for actual flight is almost impossible.

"Not bad."

The muscular Nascent Soul nodded in satisfaction: "This ingenuity is commendable, inscribing Spirit Patterns at its foot.

To increase the Spiral-Horned Rock Sheep's Spiritual Power and energy consumption while balancing its intake of more Spirit Plants or moss.

Yet, problems exist too.

This mutated Spiral-Horned Rock Sheep would be stronger and more agile than typical Rock Sheep, potentially causing environmental damage if it forms a population dominance.

Resulting in influencing more Spirit Beast populations, potentially even leading to ecological collapse in already barren mountainous areas, and so can only be bred within the Spiritual Fertility Hall for now.

This is something you should consider addressing.

But the idea is indeed good; the fundamental assessment you've passed."

The Golden Core senior sister immediately nodded and received the teaching.

"Thank you, Patriarch, for your guidance."

The Nascent Soul slightly nodded, then pointed lightly at the starlight-flowing lotus.

A breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Initially, the lotus seemed unchanged, but over time, some clear and luminous starlight gathered around it.

Surrounding the lotus like ripples.

A hard-to-describe terrifying Spiritual Qi gradually rose.

"Oh."

"Heh, interesting."

"...Mm."

All Nascent Souls showed varied expressions and demeanors.

Yet, it's evident they held some anticipation.

As it's known, this is a Fourth Tier close to Fifth Tier Spirit Plant, Starfall Epiphyllum, said to bloom just once in its lifetime, attracting starfall like rain when blooming.

Magnificent indeed.

Yet it's undeniably a Combat Spirit Plant.

Accumulating life-long Spiritual Power to welcome starfall, it's naturally terrifying, capable of causing harm to Nascent Souls while sealing space.

Li Ye, standing aside, felt the increasingly terrifying Spiritual Power, silently taking two steps back.

If being cowardly keeps him unharmed, then so be it.

Just as he was about to retreat behind the Nascent Souls, standing on the ethereal and invisible mist.

The Epiphyllum bloomed.

Layers of petals blossomed carrying clear starlight, beauty indescribable, yet as it reached the center covering the entire cloud platform, a binding force within starlight suppressed it.

Unable to move, unable to shift, any spatial technique unusable.

Feathered forms enclosed by the Nascent Souls deliberately released humanoid shapes ascending towards the sky, appearing celestial-like upon first glance.

However, the true situation was...

When the figures wrapped in white feathers ascended, the Heavenly Dome suddenly fell with stars, precisely hitting the ascending figures.

Flight.

This process bore no defense ability.

Being directly struck by starlight, the figures with Golden Core Cultivation instantly turned to ash silently, without even a wail or scream.

Both ascending and being struck by starlight.

The scene was breathtakingly beautiful, yet left shivers down the spine.

Anyhow, Li Ye quietly stepped back a few more paces, retreating fully behind the Nascent Souls.
