His primary form embodies the spirit of Ruo Wood and the East Pole Yang Sea, as well as the eldest son of True Man Mo and Su Xing, and the senior brother of Su Xing's lineage. The burdens he carries are truly numerous.

During this period, staying by Li Ye's side, witnessing Li Ye enjoying life as though "idle," he couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy.

Unfortunately, there isn't much time left.

All he can do is use this time to protect Li Ye and impart some knowledge.

For example...

The divine techniques that can only be learned by commanding Ruo Wood.

Meanwhile, Li Ye, who was utilizing Instant Ice to perform divine techniques, could faintly sense the unusual fluctuation in his senior brother's mind.

He could guess what his senior brother was contemplating.

However.

No matter what, he would help his senior brother resolve this issue.

...

The chill of Instant Ice swirled around Li Ye's fingertips.

Like it possessed spirituality, it transformed into numerous enormous ice nails, forcefully pinning the turbid qi, freezing the once turbulent turbid qi in this eternal moment.

Without the influence of the turbid qi, Li Ye could easily use spiritual power to extract the turbid qi, much like digging out black sherbet. He soon excavated a thousand-zhang deep pit.

Amidst the black turbid qi, there remained a section of Ruo Wood emitting a warm night glow. That distinctive red trunk, the green leaves, and beside the Ruo Wood...

A firefly.

Indeed.

It was a tiny firefly, perched on the Ruo Wood, its abdomen flickering and glowing, seemingly no larger than a fingernail, with a faint glow.

Within the Four Seasons Sect, these little creatures are quite common, especially in Weichuan, where they are extraordinarily prevalent, as they are naturally fond of clean and clear water sources, making Weichuan perfectly suitable.

However, appearing here is quite abnormal.

Why here, is there such a firefly?

Li Ye frowned slightly.

Focused his gaze —

[Name]: Miao Ying

[Mood]: None

[Status]: A spiritual insect born from the ultimate turbid filth and the night serenity of Ruo Wood, granted a trace of special Power of Laws by the Tao Furnace Realm's Celestial Dao.

In dire straits, there is a thread of hope.

[Can bind]: Any life in dire straits.

Oh.

This description is quite interesting.

It does not simply limit to spirit beasts or spirit plants.

"Hmm."

The senior brother displayed a puzzled expression: "I have never seen such a thing, even the Ten Thousand Spirits Heavenly Register in the sect that claims to record all the spirit beasts and spirit plants in the world has no record of this."

"Neither have I."

"Yet, I have a vague feeling that its power is rather fascinating.

Li Ye responded while descending, extending a hand toward Miao Ying, beckoning, "Little one, come over."

--- When beckoning, Li Ye was very confident.

The Pure Spirit Qi and the gradually evolving Four-Brahma Immortal Qi on him would, under no circumstances, cause rejection by spirit beasts or spirit plants; anything with spirituality would desire to interact with him.

Even the respected beings of the human race are still like this, not to mention such a spirit beast dwelling in the dead abyss for so long.

Yet, an unexpected situation occurred.

Miao Ying seemed frightened, its tail's radiance flickered, and it attempted to burrow into the already instantly frozen, hard turbid qi.

Fortunately, the senior brother intervened in time.

The Power of Ritual Soul, which can isolate all spiritual power, entwined the tiny Miao Ying, capturing and delivering it into Li Ye's hands.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Li Ye used his spiritual power to add an additional safeguard, only then did he gaze at Miao Ying, but the usually infallible perception failed at this moment.

It actually rejected communication with Li Ye.

"..."

"Why is that?"

This was indeed the first time Li Ye encountered such a setback, forcing him to seek help from his senior brother.

After pondering for a moment, the latter replied: "I can faintly sense a weak Power of Heavenly Dao on it, perhaps this Power of Heavenly Dao conflicts with the spiritual power in your body.

I can't discern anything more specific.

Truly peculiar..."

Conflicts with my spiritual power?

Li Ye recalled the panel's previous introduction, where it mentioned that this "Miao Ying" could bind with "life in dire straits."

And it seemed related to some ethereal "hope."

Could it be that because of my smooth sailing, it finds me off-putting?

So now, where to find some life in dire straits to experiment?

He helplessly placed Miao Ying into the Jianmu, planning to try again when the chance arises, then wholly devoted his attention to the Ruo Wood entrenched in the turbid qi.

So much so that he entirely missed the moment Miao Ying, upon entering Jianmu, suddenly roused, its tail flickering, flying towards the tributaries of Weichuan in the Jianmu space, swiftly vanishing within.

Li Ye, at this point, had already extracted the Ruo Wood.

He returned to a platform built by the Beavers, sitting cross-legged, surrounded by the radiant glow of the Treasure Lotus Lamp, with countless green lotus flowers continuously blossoming, illuminating the Ruo Wood's gentle night glow becoming deeper.

"This… is it your true form?"

Li Ye reached out to touch the Ruo Wood, reacting instinctively, as using the Magic Body to interact with a spiritual object is the best method of identification.

However, after touching, he felt something amiss, something slightly odd.

"No need for formalities, feel free to touch," the senior brother chuckled, teasingly, "It has lost all vitality, and moreover, my spirituality has entirely detached, you won't feel anything no matter how much you handle my body."

"..."

Thank you, now it feels even stranger.

Li Ye hurried to change the topic: "Did you ask me to find this thing for your benefit?"

"In a way."

The always straightforward senior brother answered ambiguously at this moment:

"It depends on whether you can master it."

"I want to pass on to you a divine technique that requires you to transform into Ruo Wood to learn."

"Would you like to learn?"

Learn the divine technique of Ruo Wood?

Is there any hesitation about this?

Li Ye immediately nodded: "Of course, I want to learn. Transforming into Ruo Wood? With Heart Soil, it's not difficult."

"Then let me teach you first." The senior brother extended his hand, softly touching Li Ye's forehead.

At this moment.

Numerous phrases surged into his divine sense spirit platform like a tide.

After spending some time sorting out this divine technique, Li Ye's expression immediately became somewhat peculiar:

"Swallow Sun... Conception?"

Indeed.

This divine technique is called "Swallow Sun Conception."

To put it simply, it involves consuming a wisp of spirit qi brought by the union of life and death at sunset every day, to nurture fruit on one's body — namely, the tree form.

Ruo Wood's fruits are, of course, no ordinary fruits.

They are peculiar fruits capable of birthing a thread of the true meaning of the sun, and with long-term nurturing, producing eighty-one pieces eventually allows the creation of a small sun.

A commonplace occurrence for a tree, given that trees blooming and bearing fruit is ordinary, but for Li Ye, it seemed slightly bizarre. After all, he was a man; swallowing the essence of the sun and conceiving was indeed a bit peculiar.

The senior brother observed Li Ye's complex expression, unrestrained in his amusement, leisurely remarked:

"But this method happens to be achievable only by you."

"Sunlight is an extremely intense substance, and the essence of sunlight even more so, while Ruo Wood is the spirit wood capable of pacifying sunlight — their powers require stronger forces to balance."

"As a Celestial Being, with the Four Brahma Immortal Qi and Heart Soil within you, employing this technique is practically tailor-made for you."

Li Ye: "..."

He rubbed his eyebrows in frustration.

"Let's discuss this after events here conclude, and indeed, I'll need to find a suitable place to transform into Ruo Wood and take root."

"Ruoquan Island would be ideal."

"Once things are resolved here and after returning from the Su Family, I will head to Ruoquan Island to take root."

Good heavens.

He actually has to "nurture fruits" this way.

Although Heart Soil allows him to transform into a being identical to Ruo Wood, various sensations remain.

No clue where his senior brother learned such a divine technique.

Wait.

Could it be that his senior brother nurtured fruits this way when he was Ruo Wood?

Then, where are his fruits now?
