In fact.

When the sun rose into the sky and spread light and heat freely at night, causing the roosters kept by who-knows-who in the dojo to crow loudly,

several strands of Sword Qi and a bunch of spears were thrown into the Heavenly Dome.

The Sword Cultivators and Body Cultivators reacted instinctively, grabbing whatever was nearby and throwing it out.

After all...

In these past years, this place has been where they could let go of everything and simply sleep deeply; to them, this deep sleep was even a way to maintain their own will.

The power of the Sword Cultivators tends to return to themselves, which can quickly erode humanity, making such peaceful rest a heaven-sent treasure.

This sudden disturbance threw their unappeased thoughts into chaos; if it weren't for the fact that it was a "natural order" that disturbed them, there was a chance they could have fallen into madness.

Li Ye naturally noticed this.

He sighed helplessly and spoke to the sun that shone and heated without restraint:

"That's enough."

"Disturbing someone's peaceful sleep is a serious crime; if you continue like this, you'll ruin the reputation your father painstakingly built!"

At the end of his words, he showed a hint of helplessness and powerlessness.

—— He did it intentionally.

As the Ruo Wood and Heart Soil and the spirit he nurtured, he absolutely would not allow nor accept this being being the kind that refuses rules and constraints just for its own carefree whims.

The sun.

The sun is the most special existence; if it acts recklessly, it will certainly cause very serious consequences, far more severe than other beings' whims.

Thus, it must be restrained from birth.

Fortunately, the small sun was obedient; it deftly dodged the Sword Qi and spears, diving into Li Ye's incarnation like a fledgling bird returning to the forest.

Li Ye's expression twisted momentarily.

Well, although obedient, it doesn't yet know how to restrain its extremely scorching Spiritual Power, almost crashing his incarnation to pieces.

"Be careful."

"This old waist of mine can't handle your antics."

Li Ye steadied his form, holding it carefully; it was perfectly round and flawless, without any pattern, just flowing with golden brilliance.

However.

This brilliance wasn't particularly dazzling.

Like the light of dawn, still somewhat dazed upon rising.

So there was a kind of... curious, tender, strange feeling.

The vitality surging inside even made Li Ye's Ruo Wood body a bit excited, seemingly wanting to sprout and bud within it.

"This power."

"Is quite interesting."

Li Ye held the sun in his hand, then transmitted to everyone on Ruoquan Island: "Everyone."

"Just now, my newborn sun couldn't contain its enthusiasm and ended up shining this brightly."

"To apologize to everyone, I will soon have the beavers bring a gift I've newly researched, hoping everyone will like it."

——I really was at fault here; if you think about it, being suddenly disturbed while sleeping comfortably would make anyone murderous.

So, an apology is necessary.

Fortunately, the cultivators were quite reasonable; since Li Ye apologized sincerely and promised a gift, there wasn't much else to say.

Only Wei Qingye couldn't sleep anymore; he simply transformed into a sword and came straight to Li Ye.

He curiously stared at the small sun.

"Brother Li, what is this?"

"It's the sun I just birthed... Wait, how did you manage to cross the barrier here?" Li Ye suddenly realized something was amiss.

Usually, you come to my courtyard to freeload, but how could you pass through the array I set up?

"Hmm?" Wei Qingye said in surprise: "You took my Sword Heart Spiritual Jade; as long as I can feel the place, I can essentially reach it.

Moreover, you said before that I could enter Ruoquan Island at will.

You can also summon my Lifebound Spirit Sword to assist you, even pulling me over if the distance isn't too far.

Didn't you know?"

Li Ye: "..."

It seems he vaguely recalls hearing Wei Qingye mention it while grilling meat together, and he casually agreed, never expecting it to be true.

Sword Heart Spiritual Jade…

That thing is a treasure only condensed by a Sword Cultivator with a Sword Heart, and no Sword Cultivator would show it casually; if taken by someone with ill intent, it could even pollute the Sword Cultivator's Sword Heart through the jade.

It's pretty much like a cultivator handing you their Golden Core to play with.

"You rascal."

Li Ye shook his head, "You simply mentioned such an important treasure and just gave it to me; aren't you afraid I'll use it as a table leg?"

"You wouldn't use it as a table leg."

Wei Qingye waved his hand: "Come on, tell me about your sun; earlier, I found it strange, its brilliance doesn't seem as hot as real sunlight."

He watched the sun.

There seemed to be sharp Sword Qi brewing in his pupils, turbulent like a raging thundercloud.

The sun seemed to sense something.

It shrank into Li Ye's embrace, a bit afraid to meet Wei Qingye's gaze.

"Wait." Suddenly, Li Ye stepped back, and tapped his fingers around Wei Qingye, instantly forming an array pattern suffused with Immortal Light, enveloping him within.

Then.

He saw cracks appear on Wei Qingye's body like ice cracking, through which he could clearly see flesh and veins—and the flowing, restless Sword Qi and… the Celestial Vein's luminescence.
