Key naturally agreed cheerfully.

They also wish to stay here a while longer.

Cold plum blossoms bloom from the desolate snow, but this does not mean they dislike vibrant places, it is simply an act of helplessness.

Now being able to chat with Li Ye for even a little while.

They also feel a joy in their heart.

Thus, they almost without reservation told Li Ye everything they knew — and Li Ye quickly constructed the "model" belonging to the East Pole Nether Sea.

It was a place.

Rather than being an ice sea, it was more like a sea of snow.

The entire sea region was composed of various snow formations, each different in shape, yet miraculously coexisting to form this vast, boundless sea area.

"So, is it the extreme reversing on itself?"

Li Ye felt quite puzzled.

Because he had already learned from his master that during the time of defining heaven and earth, each place already had its blueprint set, and logically, there shouldn't be a possibility for the East Pole Yang Sea to turn into a "Nether Sea."

"Why not give it a try?" Key extended a hand, their fair and soft palm reaching out to Li Ye, inviting him: "I have the ability to transform the surrounding environment into a sea of snow.

Moreover, I am after all you people's so-called deity.

Perhaps, we could establish a connection between god and immortal, so you can borrow my power anytime, anywhere."

Deity indeed.

Especially someone like Key who had long been akin to a "land," the source of divine power is fundamentally related to the surrounding environment. Rather than saying they take the power of nature, it is more accurate to say the world needs them to maintain itself.

By analyzing the power of deities, one can obtain various magic.

Thus, there is the expression "divine techniques."

"Alright."

Li Ye gladly accepted.

He held onto Key's hand.

Feeling that smooth and exceptionally soft texture like icy jade.

And Key slightly furrowed their eyebrows, exerting a bit of strength to wrap his palm — indeed, this deity intentionally enlarged their hand.

"..."

Well, who knows whence this competitive urge came.

Li Ye inwardly grumbled, outwardly smiling, beginning to sense the "divine techniques" of this deity.

Time passed, moment by moment.

After about half a joss stick's time, Li Ye opened his eyes.

Then directly grabbed a handful of seawater.

Gently waved —

"Splash!"

This seawater, bathed in sunlight for an unknown duration and could arguably be considered a kind of treasure material, unexpectedly transformed into golden snowflakes, cascading down in flurries.

"Oh." Key involuntarily extended a hand, feeling the warm snow falling on the back of the hand, inciting an indescribable thrill.

The thousands of years of wind and snow solitude.

Even the plums, most frost-tolerant and winter-loving, would anticipate the arrival of spring.

An inspiration suddenly surged in their heart.

—— These snows would aid in their transformation.

"I need a lot of such snow."

"Yang Ke Dao You."

"A great deal."

Key said eagerly.

Yet the Xiangshui Tree standing in the void suddenly trembled slightly, beginning to become ethereal.

Li Ye realized the time was up.

Like each meeting of performing the Xiangjun method, there was a time limit. After all, he was not yet proficient, so being able to persist for so long was only possible because his master had left a bit of power as assistance.

"Next meeting, I will prepare enough snow for you, along with ample plum blossoms..."

Just as he finished speaking.

Key's figure became ethereal and vanished instantly.

They hadn't even managed to stretch out their hand.

And returned from the sunlit, life-filled East Pole Yang Sea to that eternally snow-covered sea, endlessly filled with boundless white snow.

"..."

They did not speak but quietly sat down.

The joyful expression on the face gradually faded, returning to the usual aloofness, only the hand that had once held Li Ye's remained clenched tightly, even veins bulging.

The other hand summoned a lot of tribulation ash, beginning to craft porcelain, waiting for the next meeting.

...

"So sudden, huh."

Actually, Li Ye didn't feel much.

It suddenly cut off.

He held what had become a small potted tree, the Xiangshui Tree, gazing at the single branch extending from above, a plum blossom growing at the small branch tip.

Just a single blossom, yet so cold and solitary.

"It seems the next meeting is... three years later." He sensed his spiritual power and came to a helpless conclusion.

He discovered this thing not only consumed spiritual power but seemed to involve certain "spiritual water" that he could not currently find. Although this spiritual water is scattered across the world, it was very difficult to extract.

Without this spiritual water, it couldn't activate the whirlpool gate.

"Hopefully, Key won't find three years of waiting too long."

Li Ye reluctantly retracted the small tree.

Then seemingly sensing something, he waved a hand to release a spiritual light.

Within, the figure of the Spiritual Mechanism Vine appeared.

—— It was his Spiritual Mechanism Vine, this fellow had been taking care of recruiting disciples since Li Ye became busy with various matters.

More acting as a sort of overseer and witness on his behalf.

After all, some things still required "him" to be present to make decisions, even his eldest disciple Zhao He definitely couldn't do so.

The Spiritual Mechanism slightly bowed towards Li Ye.

Speaking rapidly:

"Master."

"Things have mostly concluded."

"Next, you need to exert divine techniques to raise an island in the designated sea area as their place of cultivation."
