"I know you have the Earth Immortal Technique."

"I also know that if I had the Earth Immortal Technique, it would certainly allow me to stay a while longer, but for me, it's not that good."

Su Huan wore a serene expression on his face.

"I've been a tree in the Huiya Grotto Heaven for so many years, I've already grown unaccustomed to human form."

"So I plan to…"

"I plan to dissolve my physical body—to decompose it—my uncle invited you here, hoping you could use the power of the Celestial Being to help my three souls and seven spirits ascend, leaving a legacy for the Su Family."

Upon hearing this, Li Ye's expression changed instantly.

Dissolution and ascension cannot actually proceed together—the former is a passive method of tribulation crossing, while the latter requires perfection to naturally ascend and become an Immortal.

To forcefully proceed like Su Huan, he might end up turning himself into an ascension artifact.

Quite ruthless.

Yet there's truly nothing he can say.

For a family like the Su Family, the cohesion is astonishingly high; whether the younger members have ulterior motives or not, the senior members absolutely consider the family first.

Even to the extent of sacrificing themselves when necessary…

"So, what do you need me to do?"

Li Ye did not plan to persuade him further.

Obviously, Su Huan's mind was made up. As a Nascent Soul cultivator who had stayed in the Huiya Grotto Heaven for so long, his Taoist heart was already unwavering.

If a few words could persuade him, he wouldn't be a Nascent Soul cultivator. Since he can't be convinced, it's best to help earnestly.

Su Huan revealed a smile: "I wish you to help me ascend using mana, so that during the feast, I can bear the Heavenly Feather Fruit, benefiting the fellow Daoists who come here.

Additionally, I need to rely on your reputation.

I hope that after my ascension, they could look after the Su Family, until Su Ya reaches the Nascent Soul stage."

He did not hide his intention of borrowing Li Ye's influence, though he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, but in front of Su Xing's direct disciple, the True Man of the Spiritual Fertility Hall, Li Ye, he still fell short.

The Four Seasons Sect truly does not lack Nascent Soul cultivators, but lacks genius-level cultivators—just so happens Li Ye is such a level.

"Alright."

Li Ye did not refuse.

Not to mention the grace of Su Huan's teachings, his relationship with Su Ya was also clear, just lending some face wasn't any trouble for him.

"Then, many thanks."

Su Huan cupped his hands towards Li Ye, then handed him a jade scroll: "This is the Spirit Pattern that enables a Spiritual Object to ascend; I trouble you to engrave it into my essence."

After speaking, he closed his eyes, withdrew the vast ocean-like mana and divine sense of the Nascent Soul, exposing his most vulnerable part to Li Ye's view—

The Nascent Soul sitting upon the Earth Vein Spirit Willow.

Li Ye had seen many Nascent Soul cultivators.

But the Nascent Soul of a cultivator, this was the first time seeing it.

The tender infant body was surrounded by countless flashing auspicious lights, appearing tender and white at first glance, yet at the superficial layer of the skin there are numerous Tao Patterns imperceptible to the eye.

In Li Ye's eyes, Su Huan's Nascent Soul was not a "baby," but a cluster of gathered radiant light, a "Nascent Fruit," an essence Su Huan honed over a millennium, belonging uniquely to his own Tao Fruit.

So radiant it was difficult to gaze upon directly.

Even he, exerting all his strength, could barely glimpse a thread of "essence."

"So this is the Nascent Soul."

"It is truly…"

Indescribable.

Even the well-informed Li Ye revealed traces of admiration; such could be considered the ultimate Tao Fruit of a cultivator, unbelievably beautiful.

And on the Earth Vein Spirit Willow closely connected to the Nascent Soul, a panel emerged immediately—

[Name]: Earth Vein Spirit Willow · Su Huan

[Mood]: None

[State]: A special Spirit Plant fully integrated with a cultivator's Nascent Soul. After the cultivator willingly eradicates the physical body and the soul dissipates, it shall undergo evolution.

Upon completion of evolution, it will have a certain probability of advancing to a "Celestial Feather Spirit Willow," possessing within its area of coverage, the effect equivalent to the "Ascend to Immortal Taoist Technique."

The Nascent Soul and the Spirit Willow.

One is the ultimate Tao Fruit of a cultivator, the other is a Spirit Plant blessing all matters and beings.

So much that he was somewhat lost in thought gazing upon it.

Long time without response.

"Don't stare at this old man all the time." Su Huan was both amused and helpless, hurriedly saying: "Quickly engrave that Spirit Pattern into my essence!"

"Oh, oh."

Li Ye then snapped back to reality.

He operated the wonderful method of observing the spirit, seeing this time a "Dantian" and "Sea of Consciousness" glowing with spiritual light.

A Nascent Soul cultivator's Dantian and Sea of Consciousness is undoubtedly vast; now what Li Ye beheld was this boundless "essence."

He was to embed the "Ascension Spirit Pattern" given by Su Huan into this infinite essence, which naturally wasn't a simple task.

No.

It could be said to be exceedingly complex.

If not for Li Ye's spiritual power having transformed into the Four Nirvana Immortal Power, leaving a mark would be almost impossible; even so, he felt immense resistance.

The Ascension Spirit Pattern.

Originally, ascension should be after reaching perfection, the physical body shedding away, or merging with the primordial spirit, transforming into a higher-level "Immortal Body" amidst rosy clouds, yet this kind of ascension requires turning three souls and seven spirits into spiritual feathers, leaving merely the corporeal shell.

Li Ye now was engraving the Spirit Pattern within Su Huan's seven spirits.

After completing the engraving of the seven spirits.

He gazed at the remaining three souls, his complexion somewhat pale.

"Senior Su Huan."

"Are you planning to disperse all three souls as well? Perhaps, leave the Fetal Light behind."

In his view, if the physical body remains, it's enough for the seven spirits leaning towards the body to ascend; if all three souls also ascend, then Su Huan as a person will cease to exist.
