Li Ye remained composed, yet had already noticed the panel appearing before him—

[Name]: East Pole Nether Plum · Key

[Mood]: Surprise, Doubt, Expectation.

[State]: In another Domain of Abundance within the tributaries of the Cosmic Light River, a special life form born of the East Pole Nether Sea. She has monopolized the entire East Pole Nether Sea, becoming akin to a deity-like existence.

While Li Ye was observing Her.

She appeared barefoot from the whirlpool gate.

Holding a cup resembling jade in Her hands.

With each step she took, frost and snow would spread across the ground, and clusters of plum blossoms would silently bloom, exuding a long-lasting fragrance unique to plum blossoms.

After walking out, She looked directly at Li Ye and suddenly smiled:

"You may call me Yue, my Dao Friend."

"It's been a long time since I've seen a living person."

"My true form resides in the East Pole Nether Sea, where it has been lifeless for too long. In the vast sea of snow, I am the only plum blossom, truly solitary."

Saying this,

She lightly tossed the jade cup, letting it fall in front of Li Ye.

"Thank you."

Li Ye reached out to catch it, instinctively glancing at it.

Only to realize.

The item wasn't made of jade but porcelain.

And it seemed to be made from...Tribulation Ash.

Is this another use for Tribulation Ash?

This Spirit God, or rather, the lady known as "Yue," noticed Li Ye's gaze and naturally found a place to sit.

Calmly said: "These useless things are abundant in the East Pole Nether Sea. I got bored and started making them for fun. If you like, I can bring more next time, my Dao Friend."

Li Ye: "..."

Well, this is truly living on a Tribulation Ash mine.

In a brief examination, he could feel that this piece of porcelain was a Nascent Soul-level Magical Artifact, although he didn't know its effects yet. Nonetheless, the combination of Nascent Soul level and Tribune Ash refinement already made it quite special.

It would even be considered a show-stopper at an auction in the Four Seasons Treasure Pavilion.

"Thank you, Dao Friend." Li Ye was momentarily at a loss for what to do, since he had no idea what this deity liked or wanted to talk about.

He glanced quietly at his master.

Only to find that his Master had long concealed his presence, clearly leaving him to handle things alone.

"Are you wondering how to entertain me, Dao Friend?"

Yue wasn't as cold as she appeared on the surface. She looked at Li Ye and with a smile said, "Why don't you tell me about the things here, perhaps I can take some back to try with me."

At the mention of this, Li Ye stopped hesitating.

He warmly introduced the specialties of the East Pole Yang Sea—a sea favored by sunlight, said to have birthed countless rare products. Just mentioning them took half a two-hour period.

During this time, Yue silently listened with a smile on her lips, her eyes fixed unblinking on Li Ye.

In those glass-like blue eyes, there was a tinge of fascination.

She hadn't seen a living being in thousands of years.

After that world was abandoned, only a few "seeds" were left behind. These seeds transformed into deities like Her, occupying their respective territories and enjoying millennia of solitude as if a day.

The entire world's time seemed to be at a standstill.

Therefore, upon sensing the ripples of the Xiangshui Tree, She couldn't wait any longer to attend the meeting immediately.

Thankfully, fate was kind.

She indeed encountered a Dao Friend that brought her joy.

Thinking about this, She suddenly asked, "Dao Friend, the world you are in should also be a Domain of Abundance, right?"

"...Yes." Li Ye actually hadn't brought up this topic. Ordinarily, one should talk about their origins.

But he didn't know what was special about the tributary of Cosmic Light where the other party resided, so he hadn't mentioned it.

However, since the other party brought it up, it could be discussed.

"From what you just said, your Four Seasons Sect, it seems that you have managed the entire East Pole...Yang Sea well, like an Immortal Family's paradise."

"Then why is it that in my world, your Four Seasons Sect... no, it should be said that cultivators from your entire Domain of Abundance have abandoned this world, leaving us spirit gods to endure eternal solitude."

"I remember that my ancestors were taken to the Domain of Abundance by some cultivators."

Her expression remained very calm.

Carrying only confusion.

Though it might feel a bit resentful, thousands of years are enough to smooth out such grievances.

How should I respond to this!

As Li Ye opened his mouth, stuck in conundrum.

His Master finally spoke: "Because among countless branches of time, only one Four Seasons Sect can exist, which is here.

Moreover, your existence is due to being observed through Xiangjun's method, which means if not for my disciple's attention and invitation, you would never know whether you truly existed."

This involves the essence of Xiangjun's method.

This Dharma Method wasn't purely an "original creation," but rather simplified by the ancestors of the Four Seasons Sect after incorporating another supreme dharma method passed down from the Upper Realm.

Only then was the current Xiangjun method formed.

Thus, the difficulty in learning this Dharma Method is no less than Donghuang Taiyi, and perhaps even greater.

Upon hearing this, Li Ye pondered and said, "I remember during my time at Bitter Journey Academy, a Great Scholar mentioned their unique creation of a world within books.

Only when the book is opened does that world become determined to exist, and time within the story begins to flow.

It seems quite similar to this Dharma Method?"

His Master gave Li Ye a approving glance, nodding: "Somewhat similar, but this Dharma Method is even more special, because it can only be performed under the protection of our ancestor's power.

So, this Divine Technique is more akin to divine magic, borrowing the power of Immortal Gods."

"Does it mean that our ancestor is capable of witnessing countless worlds and the tributaries of Cosmic Light?" Li Ye wasn't too surprised, considering this world.

Our ancestor must be an even more formidable existence.

"That is correct," True Man Suoxing said lazily while sipping tea, "I cannot comprehend more, so I cannot explain it to you.

You only need to know: what we're doing is walking on the correct path.

Celestial Years Uncle is the cornerstone of this path.

With His existence, we never need to fear anyone using time Divine Techniques to affect us.

Other sects also have different methods to deal with time."

Li Ye nodded in a realized manner.

No wonder Ancestor Celestial Years was able to help him pinpoint those two treasures.

At this moment.

Having listened to the master-disciple conversation, Yue finally spoke: "I see, I think I understand a bit...

In that case.

How about we make a trade?"

She pointed at the porcelain made from Tribulation Ash on the table: "I have many such items over there, and I wish to exchange for some plum blossoms that can grow with me.

The snow sea is lonely; I truly don't wish to be solitary any longer."

Using Tribulation Ash to exchange for plum blossoms?

Even Fifth-Tier or Sixth-Tier plum blossoms could be traded for such things.

Tribulation Ash is a universal currency among all High-Tier cultivators, even in the chaotic Outer Domain it's widely used.

Li Ye's eyes lit up.

He looked questioning at his master—Is this a feasible deal?

His Master directly said, "It can be done, but you must first thoroughly study the structure of the spiritual power in the East Pole Nether Sea where Dao Friend resides, otherwise, the spirit plum you're sending over might not grow "

Hearing this, Li Ye suddenly realized: if you understand the structure of spiritual power in the East Pole Nether Sea, couldn't you backward infer exactly how it changed from a life-filled perpetual daylight sea into a desolate sea of snow?

In theory, the structure of Domains of Abundance should be the same.

Wouldn't this method ensure that the East Pole Yang Sea won't undergo any abnormal changes, or rather push its development in that direction...

So the hidden application of the Xiangjun Divine Technique is to comprehend the different development directions and then adjust?

He felt as though he had guessed correctly.

Otherwise, would our ancestor really have created such a special Dharma Method just to make friends?

There has to be profound meaning behind it!
