Furthermore, because they themselves have borne Demonic Qi, their Spiritual Power has become even purer—this behavior is essentially a double-edged sword, yet with the help of Li Ye and Emotion Communication, it forcibly turned into a ritual of enhancing and purifying Spiritual Power without side effects.

In addition, they injected many different types of Spiritual Qi into the demon seeds.

Making the demon seeds grow even stronger.

So should we say that it truly deserves to be called the system? Even when it has already turned to the "Demon Path," it maintains the basic underlying logic of mutual benefit and coexistence.

"It is indeed feasible."

"Hmm...but these guys..."

Once confirming there was no problem, Li Ye shifted his attention entirely to the intelligence of the Spirit Beasts who chose the "demon" path.

The first ones he looked at were naturally the Earth Turtle and Bitter Spirit Gourd.

Originally, they could be said to be vibrant and overflowing with Spiritual Qi, yet now their bodies bizarrely grew many purple-black bone spikes, or rather, crystalline spikes.

These bone spikes sprawled across them as if the bones had grown wildly, turning the once adorable Earth Turtle into an incredibly hideous creature, and it couldn't even retract its head because of these spikes.

Its mouth was wide open, silently howling in apparent agony.

No.

It was indeed suffering greatly, and the Emotion Communication relayed such an overwhelming urge of wanting to die on the spot that even the slightest exposure of such emotion made Li Ye feel uncomfortable.

As for the Bitter Spirit Gourd, its changes were even more drastic; its originally verdant gourd vine was now covered with tiny scales, resembling a green snake, and the gourd had turned into a foreboding black color.

Furthermore, the growth of its vines became highly pronounced.

The torment from that bone-deep pain caused its vines to thrash and struggle wildly, like countless frenzied snakes.

The scene was extremely eerie for a while.

Their names changed to [Demon Breath Turtle] and [Bitter Demon Gourd].

If it had been before, Li Ye could easily use ten or eight Dharma Methods to expedite their purification and relieve their pain, but now these two were already demonized, and using Spiritual Power was clearly not an option.

"So only the Power of the Demon Path can be used."

Li Ye was already prepared for this.

He would certainly need to learn to wield Demonic Qi if he wanted to harness it, so trying out Divine Power Skills now was not a big deal.

So he attempted to channel the Demonic Qi.

Then he applied a demonized version of the Grass and Wood Warmth Technique—a Dharma Method used for helping plants and trees to better sort out their own power.

Unexpectedly, something astonishing happened.

The Demonic Qi was very obedient, even eager to form a gray-black mist that settled onto the Demon Breath Turtle and Bitter Demon Gourd.

Surrounded by Demonic Qi, they quickly adapted to the infiltration of Demonic Qi into their bodies, visibly becoming much more spirited.

"It actually worked."

"And I didn't feel any influence from the Demonic Qi."

"Moreover, the integration speed with my body seems to have increased."

Upon discovering this, Li Ye had no more hesitation; anyway, the demon seeds were already using various Divine Techniques, so why not replicate them himself?

Furthermore, he could record the sensation of wielding these demonized Divine Techniques, and even the Divinity Transformation elders probably have never seen what these Divine Techniques would look like after being demonized, right?

Submitting this might even count as a great contribution.

Thus,

he continued to use Divine Techniques, pay attention to the demonized Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants, and simultaneously worked to incorporate the demon seeds into his Tao Foundation.

Juggling three tasks at once.

For him, it was just a trifling matter.

After the Demon Breath Turtle and Bitter Demon Gourd, it was the Earth Demon Ginseng and the Spirit-Uniting Lotus—the Earth Demon Ginseng became even more sacred after demonization, nearly to the point of appearing wickedly pure.

Firstly, its previously wrinkled bark-like face transformed into an impossibly smooth surface, noticeably resembling the face of a beautiful woman.

All its features were complete, with a sacred appearance.

She, or rather it, wore an expression of compassion with a wry smile at the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were a cold, observing sight ahead.

Its body transformed from its prior colors to a transparent, almost glass-like crystal, as if the woman had just emerged midway from a mirror or glass.

Suspended in mid-air.

"..."

"Honestly, if I didn't recognize it was you and that you didn't use my face, I would absolutely wipe you out now."

Li Ye was rather speechless.

He actually noticed that this creature initially had some thought of using his face when its face first started changing.

Perhaps only under his deadly gaze did it obediently change to look like this, a face that, although beautiful, seemed like an unnervingly pieced-together visage resulting in a bizarre woman's face.

Upon hearing Li Ye's words, the woman's face immediately showed a flattering smile, her voice bright and clear: "Hehe, I dare not arbitrarily transform into your likeness."

—Previously, when it had an elderly face, this action wasn't as disturbing, but now with this face, Li Ye found it inexplicably creepy.

This creature indeed has a bit of the Great Demon aura now.

And the Spirit-Uniting Lotus, growing atop its head, previously exuded an immortal air, now turned into a deep color, or rather, colorless, integral to the surrounding environment.

Only the edges of the petals could be clearly seen.

At first glance, it seemed like a lotus flower petal floating behind a demon, imparting an inexplicable yet harmonious oddity.

"Do you have any abilities?"

Li Ye was very curious about what capabilities they possessed after such a transformation.

As soon as the question left his mouth, he saw the Earth Demon Ginseng and Spirit-Uniting Lotus begin to rapidly absorb the surrounding Demonic Qi, then exhale pure Spiritual Qi from their petals.

Conversion?

Could this be their ability?

Li Ye's eyes brightened, realizing the Demonic Qi they exhaled retained characteristics of the original Spiritual Qi, merely converted into Demonic Qi.

Furthermore, they could not only convert Demonic Qi into Spiritual Power but also Spiritual Power into Demonic Qi, truly achieving a spirit-demon conversion effect.

"Not bad."

"This capability..."

Just pondering a little can bring forth many potential uses.

It could even be considered an excellent Spirit Healing Plant for treating cultivators whose bodies were invaded by Demonic Qi, with the injuries unable to be eradicated.

"Wait."

"Hurry to help Brother Wei."

Suddenly recalling something, he quickly transferred them to the outside, placing them beside Wei Qingye. Before Wei Qingye could draw his sword, he spoke swiftly:

"Brother Wei, they can help purify and adapt to Demonic Qi; just be sure not to unleash excessively sharp Sword Qi upon them."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qingye reluctantly suppressed the urge to chop that flattering-faced woman into dozens of pieces and transferred the Demonic Qi to them instead.

The woman's face drank in the Demonic Qi through her nostrils.

Then exhaled Spiritual Qi through her lips.

"Hoo~~~"

Spiritual Qi surged around Wei Qingye.

This scene made Wei Qingye extremely uncomfortable, as though someone had sprayed saliva all over his face, nearly causing him to lose his composure.

Fortunately, the endurance of a Sword Cultivator is quite strong at certain times.

So he continued to channel the Demonic Qi out, purifying it before reclaiming it, quickly becoming accustomed to the presence of Demonic Qi.

This sight garnered wonder from the Deities observing nearby.

"A Spirit Plant capable of converting spirit to demon."

"So he has quickly mastered the ability to cultivate Demon Plants?"

"Why overthink it? Hasn't this child done enough peculiar things already?"

"I was just commenting; I never expected this child to be such a genius."

The deity being contradicted hastily explained.

They can grant power, but they should not become too deeply entwined with cultivators.

Time passed by slowly like this.

While Li Ye was leisurely practicing his Divine Techniques and observing the Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants, elsewhere,

Senior Brother Jiang Guichen's Thunder Tribulation was nearing its end.

At this moment, the whole East Pole Yang Sea seemed to be boiling.
