Li Ye remained silent for a long time.

The time stretched so long that even Hu Tong, standing by, began to feel uneasy.

—She was truly afraid that Li Ye might have come into contact with something unsolvable. It would be a small matter if the Spiritual Object was ruined, but if True Man Lingye were injured, it would be a big problem.

Fortunately, Heaven's fortune smiled upon them.

After half an incense stick's time, Li Ye returned to his senses.

With a casual wave of his hand.

Countless streams of Spiritual Power receded like a tide, leaving only the Zhu Yu plant before him, which he picked up with his hand.

He gazed at Zhu Yu for a long while and then directly stored it into the Jianmu, seeking a suitable Spiritual Insect to bind with it.

"Brother Li..." Hu Tong tentatively opened her mouth.

"It's nothing."

Li Ye said calmly, "I just saw some things. I need to discuss them with the elders in the sect."

"Taoist Friend Hu, please wait for a while."

He made an inviting gesture.

Hu Tong evidently realized the seriousness of the situation—if it were a small matter, with Li Ye's current status, he wouldn't need to consult the elders. Anything that required consulting the elders would not be trivial.

So she maintained a graceful smile, slowly stood up, and said, "Then I shall take my leave first. If there's anything, just call me."

In truth, the moment she turned around, she immediately relayed the message to her grandaunt, feeling that this matter might escalate into a big problem.

Li Ye naturally sensed the fluctuation of Spiritual Power in the void, but he didn't mind. He simply sent out the message and waited for his teacher's arrival.

Not long after.

A figure clad in a black robe formed from moonlight and the sea waves appeared.

True Man Moqi sat directly in the place of honor.

With a face full of wonder:

"What matter is so urgent that you sought me out in such haste?"

Li Ye sighed slightly and recounted to his teacher what he had just seen.

The latter's expression did not change in the slightest upon hearing it.

Remaining very calm, she said, "That is your opportunity. It's said that those with Qi Fortune can find Spirit Treasures even while walking. Clearly, this is a chance the Celestial Dao has given you.

Think about what benefits this matter might bring you.

And what benefits it might bring to the Celestial Dao."

His teacher's calm and gentle voice made Li Ye, who was already calm, even more composed. After careful contemplation, he replied:

"Could it be that the Celestial Dao wants me to repair it?"

"No." True Man Moqi shook her head, "If this object were truly unaccepted by the Celestial Dao, the Qingqiu Fox Race, which cultivates with it, would have long been struck by lightning. Moreover, our Four Seasons Sect has always had a good relationship with the Celestial Dao. Other True Men would not sit idly by if they used the wondrous method of sensing Spiritual Objects.

So I guess the Celestial Dao wants you to stabilize the Celestial Vein—or rather, make it effective on other Spirit Plants.

The Celestial Dao is granting you a benefit!"

This was truly unexpected for Li Ye.

To his observation, this peculiar Zhu Yu Spirit Plant directly absorbed the Spiritual Power of the Celestial Dao. Isn't that akin to undermining the wall? Yet the Celestial Dao would teach him how to undermine the wall?

He wore a troubled expression: "Teacher, why would the Celestial Dao give me such a great advantage?"

"It likely places the hope of resolving the deficiency in the southeast upon you." True Man Moqi said gently, "This is just giving you an initial benefit—and it should be closely related to resolving that deficiency."

"..."

Li Ye rubbed his brow in frustration.

"Isn't that similar to the great vow of the Buddhist Sect, receiving benefits first and then solving the problem? But I never intended to borrow this power."

Yet who knew True Man Moqi would show a subtle smile:

"No, once you have it in your hands, it's yours. It doesn't matter if you can't solve it. You are a disciple of our Four Seasons Sect. If there are real issues, there are Divinity Transformation elders and seniors above who will assist you."

"Once benefits are delivered to your hand, there's hardly any reason to return them or engage in coercive buying and selling, even if you try to reason with the heavens."

Li Ye: "..."

Such a flexible baseline, he felt that his teacher's familiarity might indicate this wasn't the first time she had obtained benefits from the Celestial Dao this way.

And thus, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then his mind began to churn with ideas.

"Teacher, will this matter affect our sect... or the Celestial Vein Sword Mountain?"

True Man Moqi's expression turned solemn.

"No."

"If you can indeed cultivate such a Spirit Plant, and the situation in the Southern Domain does not deteriorate, it could actually prove something else."

"There may be reasons other than a shortage of Spiritual Power and the Power of Heavenly Dao there."

Repairing the Heavenly Dao is one of the missions of the Four Seasons Sect.

But what if… the Heavenly Dao there wasn't a result of a shortage of Spiritual Power and Laws? If the Spiritual Power were truly lacking there, how could it have let Li Ye undermine the wall?"

If that's truly the case, then perhaps the plan needs some alteration.

—Li Ye naturally caught the implication in his teacher's words, but he had another confusion:

"Can't we directly communicate with the Celestial Dao and ask? Why do we have to make such guesses and inferences?"

His teacher smiled warmly: "Because that is cultivation, not in the result but in the process—the truth only reveals itself at the end of the path.

Our Four Seasons Sect has gathered significant insights during this journey, and that is enough."

Li Ye realized.

"I see."

"Thank you, teacher, for enlightening me."

As he was contemplating how to utilize this, he suddenly heard a tender, silky feminine voice:

"Sister Moqi."

Immediately.

A gentle breeze, carrying petals, emerged from the void, and seven tails, each with a different shape, and fluffy Spiritual Light surrounded a figure, appearing not far away.
