The moonlight was as gentle as a thin veil, drifting over the boundless blue sea—Li Ye sat inside a large shell, enjoying the sea breeze blowing and the moonlight softly caressing.
The night at the East Pole Yang Sea was not dark, especially with the Moon God's blessing hanging brightly in the sky. There were many Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants eager for the moonlight that emerged—
Flying fish covered in Scale Armor, giant turtles carrying Coral clumps on their backs, and pearls of all sizes secretly floating to the sea surface, opening their shells to absorb Spiritual Power from the moonlight, nurturing the pearls they were gestating.
The entire sea region could be said to be bright as day.
Next to the large shell where Li Ye lay were countless small shells, with Beavers lying inside with their bellies up, swaying with the waves as if lying in cradles, feeling quite comfortable.
"Phew."
"So pleasant."
Li Ye placed his hand behind his head as a pillow, gazing at the vast and boundless blue sea and the bright silver moon above. His once chaotic thoughts instantly calmed down.
He had been drifting here for three days, after all, the situation over there was somewhat...
Thinking of what he had seen before, he couldn't help but glance into the distance.
This glance instantly traversed the sea region for thousands of miles.
He saw hundreds of Nascent Soul-level Merfolk in the moonlight, performing Divine Techniques, condensing the moonlight into translucent Spirit Stones, constructing an incredibly magnificent island in the sea.
Every inch of land on that island was piled with all sorts of treasured items, even the stairs leading to the top of the island were made of Fifth Tier Spiritual Object "Gui Spiritual Jade."
The foundation was made of jade mud, a mixture of various treasures.
Those Merfolk, who held esteemed positions in the East Pole Yang Sea, had abandoned their own tribes and affairs, deliberating every day on how to create the most suitable island and Divine Temple for the Moon God's worship.
To build this island, almost all the Merfolk had taken out various treasures they had accumulated over the years.
Bear in mind these were treasures accumulated over thousands of years, and in this Moon God-worshipping race, only the best would be offered to the Deity. One can only imagine their value.
"It's absolutely crazy."
Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head.
At that time, the Merfolk intended to present the treasures to him, but he thought about it and felt it wasn't right to accept, so he suggested they might as well build an island and set up a Divine Temple.
As a result, the Merfolk went into a frenzy as if injected with adrenaline.
Even Master Moqi was caught up in it, making Li Ye feel a bit disoriented.
"Isn't that normal?"
With a splash, Yang Ke emerged from the water, bare-chested. The seawater flowed over his robust and well-proportioned body, then fell onto his tail, splashing like broken jade, presenting a unique beauty under the moonlight.
He settled himself on the sea surface, sitting up with a grin revealing a set of white teeth:
"Rarely does the Moon God reconcile with us. Almost all the old Divine Temples in the East Pole Yang Sea have been dismantled. Now being able to build a temple for her is our honor."
Li Ye looked at him, feeling a momentary daze, and asked curiously:
"Is this the Divine Technique you awakened after your Golden Core?"
The Merfolk Race is considered one of the Spirit Race favored by Heaven and Earth; after forming the Golden Core, they would awaken some special and unique Divine Techniques. But why did this guy awaken something related to 'charisma'?
Even Li Ye, a person with a firm spirit, experienced a momentary daze.
Yang Ke was also helpless, shrugging: "Perhaps Lord Wangshu wants to appoint me as the temple priest. Brother Li, you know Lord Wangshu has very high standards for this."
In fact, the Merfolk have an advantage in this aspect. Even male Merfolk like Yang Ke, soaking in the ocean daily, have skin like cool jade, fair as jade white, along with a well-proportioned muscular build and slender physique.
It's indeed quite pleasing to the eye.
No wonder, in certain establishments in the Central Domain, many Merfolk went there to earn Spirit Stones, even more popular than the Fox Race.
"..."
"I don't know."
Li Ye felt he was thinking about something strange, shook his head, and decisively changed the subject:
"The Su Family's banquet is about to start, I need to return to the sect. I'll leave matters here to you. My disciple Zhao He will assist you."
"Remember, be sure to secure that area southeast of the East Pole Yang Sea called Falling Star region."
"It will benefit you and me."
He spoke seriously for once, and Yang Ke immediately realized the importance of this message. He nodded quickly:
"Rest assured."
"I'll get right on it."
"By the time Brother Li returns, you'll certainly see the deed to that sea region."
Hearing him say that, Li Ye gave a slight nod, reached out his hand to take all the Beavers away, and his figure instantly disappeared into the moonlight.
Only Yang Ke was left looking at the empty sea region.
He sighed softly.
Although he knew Li Ye certainly had his own matters to attend to, seeing Li Ye leave still left him somewhat reluctant.
The Celestial Being's demeanor was indeed extraordinary; even just watching him made one's Spiritual Power flow much smoother.
...
On the other side.
Li Ye didn't leave directly.
Instead, he came to see Zhao He, who was diligently practicing his Cultivation Technique under the moon.
Although he hadn't met Zhao He recently, he had been keeping an eye on him. After all, Zhao He was his first disciple, and having too low a cultivation or being too dull was not ideal.
The Su Xing lineage had a unique status in the Four Seasons Sect; their Qi Fortune was as intense as a raging fire, and mediocre individuals couldn't bear this fortune.
When Li Ye first entered the sect, his master gave him a Token engraved with "Four Seasons Smooth." It was meant to alleviate his Qi Fortune—the stronger the Qi Fortune, the more often one would encounter adventures—yet also encounter dangers.
