"In the future, I'll need you to look after the little junior brother."

"Mm..."

Jiang Guichen's Nascent Soul moved swiftly.

He quickly used fragments of the Celestial Vein to form two clay figurines identical to himself, then placed a sacred fruit as the heart in the figurines' chests.

Immediately after.

He tossed the clay figurines outside.

He then rapidly retracted his Nascent Soul back into his body and without hesitation shouted into the distance:

"Master, save me!"

True Man Suoxing's mouth twitched several times.

"This kid, won't he just call me Dad once!"

Muttering curses, he was about to act when True Man Moqi, unable to hold back, gave him a shove from behind: "Go already!"

And so True Man Suoxing flew out like that.

With incredible speed.

One could even say he turned into a shooting star.

Whether he was just following orders or was forcibly pushed, midway through the air, he had already thrown out his Lifebound Magical Treasure.

That ruler, made as if from starlight, in an instant isolated the power of the East Pole Yang Sea, then quickly embraced Jiang Guichen and swiftly returned through a starlight passage to the sect.

True Man Moqi's eyes lit up and followed inside as well.

The boiling East Pole Yang Sea, unable to find a target, could only retreat and envelop the two clay figurines in auspicious light, using terrifying vitality to induce their transformation.

In just a moment, the clay figurines transformed into two figures shrouded in countless rays of light.

Their figures were exceptionally slender.

Their skin emitted the divine light unique to deities.

Their robes embodied a... quaint yet elegant mystical quality, which would have intrigued the Confucian scholars of Bitter Journey Academy, enough to start ten or eight archaeological projects.

Because these garments had long become ornamental, even the most old-fashioned cultivators wouldn't casually wear them out.

The glass-like waves and winds of the East Pole Yang Sea gathered around them, shining brightly over the entire Eastern Domain, escorting them as they soared skyward.

As they slowly rose.

They were like a great sun rising from the sea, with divine power illuminating the entire sea region, declaring the imminent return of two new deities.

In that moment, the sea region boiled to its peak.

The sound of the waves crashing was like a resonating drum, countless streaks of light rose from the sea, flew skyward, and the fountain of spiritual power, clumps of golden lotus flowers, innumerable auspicious rays seemed ready to fill the sea.

The various phenomena were truly dazzling.

Yet.

On the faces of the two deities was an expression of utmost boredom.

This sight was witnessed by another "senior brother" on Ruoquan Island. He patted his chest, relieved, and whispered:

"Good thing I escaped."

"Otherwise, wouldn't I have to go and toil every day like that?"

He truly breathed a sigh of relief.

But at that moment.

The Hell Transformation Diagram, which had been quietly sitting within the Four Seasons Sect's array, suddenly underwent a change.

A black virtual shadow of Jianmu sprouted from it.

In just an instant, it was like a pillar reaching the sky, connecting heaven and earth, accepting the meteoric fragments of the Celestial Vein, and continuing to grow rapidly, seemingly expanding across the entire sea area.

The deities, Spring Sun Taoist, and the sect leader, who had been quite pleased just moments before, suddenly displayed puzzled expressions.

They looked over there.

This.

Something's not right.

How did such a thing suddenly happen?

And.

Where did it come from?

Could it be something happened on Li Ye's side?

...

Meanwhile.

Li Ye was also bewildered.

He had been happily casting a divine technique, but then the Jianmu in his Dantian unexpectedly trembled and then split off into a black ink-colored clone.

Immediately, the black clone disappeared in a flash.

When he finally found it, he discovered it had already appeared in the Star-falling Sea Region sealed by the sect elders, rooted on the Hell Transformation Diagram.

From the consciousness transferred from that side, there was a vague sense of...

"Resurrect everything?"

"Resurrect?"

Even Li Ye was confused, not quite understanding what this thing suddenly wanting to resurrect everything meant.

"Don't rush."

"No need to panic."

He carefully sorted through everything.

He discovered: that the divine technique represented by his Life Breath Spirit Transformation Scroll was already imprinted on the body of Jianmu.

It was this demonic divine technique that had caused Jianmu to branch out into a clone, even sending it to the Hell Transformation Diagram.

He didn't understand.

But soon that black Jianmu began to act.

It suddenly started producing fruits of various sizes, some as big as houses, others as small as ants.

Then.

They began to swell visibly.

Before long, they started falling into the sea and cracking open.

Emerging from the fruit were ink-and-water composed... humans, birds, beasts, and even insects...

They were entirely black, yet seemed like true life, struggling in the sea as if about to sink and die again.

"Save me!"

"Save me!"

"I don't want to die, mother!"

Some even struggled and called for help.

Their expressions were vivid, utterly resembling a panic-stricken state before death.

This scene exceeded everyone's expectations, even the watching deities were momentarily dazed.

The bright moonlight immediately lifted these black "creatures."

But that was all.

The Deities wouldn't interfere with changes here, and even the true Jianmu remained silent with uncertainty, preferring to watch the situation unfold.

Thus.

The sect leader and Spring Sun Taoist approached the black Jianmu and discovered it wasn't a real lifeform, but was composed of ink and water.

Yet those beings weren't made of ink and water.

They were genuine, possessing consciousness and even souls, existing truly and independently.

If one disregarded their black appearance and tossed them outside, none would notice anything strange about them.

"A divine technique of the Confucian sect, perhaps."

"But why did Jianmu get involved?"

"..."

Even the well-traveled Divinity Transformation cultivator and sect leader hadn't seen this situation before; after exchanging a glance.

Spring Sun Taoist stayed here.

While the sect leader quickly went to Ruoquan Island, where he met Li Ye's true form, and straightforwardly asked:

"What's actually going on?"

Li Ye was silent for a moment: "Perhaps it wishes to resurrect the undecomposed lifeforms in the Hell Path, I can feel my spiritual power rapidly depleting.

This seems to be pushed along by the Celestial Dao.

Beyond that, I don't know."

To perceive so much in such a short time was already his best effort.

Such transformations in divine techniques are truly elusive, not to mention the Celestial Dao's interference.

He had a premonition.

Those beings "reborn" through the ink and water Jianmu might be the key to Jianmu's advancement.

"The boundary between life and death, huh."

The sect leader quickly thought of something.

After a brief silence, he took out a purple-gold jade scroll.

With a pained expression, he said:

"You absolutely must learn this divine technique."

"This is a Dharma Transmission Jade Scroll left by the ancestor, each one learned means one less. If you can't learn it, be prepared to mine ores to repay the debt for the next hundred years!"

Seeing the sect leader like this, Li Ye was genuinely curious about what this thing was, as for his threat... could mining possibly yield as high returns as his farming there?

To the Four Seasons Sect, owning mines truly wasn't better than owning fertile land.

So he didn't care at all.

He simply took the jade scroll and began to read.

Inside... was a divine technique.

Named.

Resurrection.

It's one of the formidable celestial divine techniques of the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirits.

No wonder the sect leader was so reluctant; such Dharma methods require insight granted by an enlightened one, not merely learning by reading the incantation once.

Indeed, learning one means having one less.

If one lacks comprehension, this precious Dharma Transmission Jade Scroll would be wasted.
