Chapter 327 Fabricating Myths, For Whom Do the Flowers Bloom?
From this "Daylily Mountain-Splitting Axe," Li Ye heard another version of the story—or rather, a different story from the one described by Blue Fox at certain key points.

Its birth was actually an experiment by the Gnostic school.

In other words, by altering and modifying key points of mythology, they create magical artifacts and treasures that do not exist in the mythology but can be pieced together from fragments of information.

Take, for example, this daylily-shaped axe.

The legend of the Lotus Lantern certainly exists, and the connection between the daylily-shaped axe and the powerful being who split the mountain to save his mother is also there, but these are all unverifiable myths and legends.

However, myths, passed down orally, acquire a touch of spirituality.

The Gnostic school pieced together different myths into a world, creating a relatively complete story, and then deliberately guided the Heavenly Dao to exert all its strength to nurture the corresponding treasures.

Its origin may indeed be the famous "divine axe that opened the heavens," but it is really just a replica pieced together from mythology.

The crucial step is to give it the title of the predecessor of the "God Axe that Creates Heaven". If the myth can be passed down for a long time, it can indeed gain a trace of the power of the God Axe that Creates Heaven.

This almost insane idea actually came true.

This replica of the "Daylily Mountain-Splitting Axe" possesses the power to open up almost any hidden place. Even the patriarchs never expected that there would be such a creation specifically designed to counter the laws of heaven and earth.

This allowed the Earth Wish Fox clan to reap a huge profit.

But then came a turning point. Although the Earth Wish Fox clan frantically worshipped this item, and its divine power seed belonging to the Heaven-Opening Axe was growing wildly, another existence in mythology, the Lotus Lantern, was also slowly being conceived.

It was another divine object from mythology, and it was even destined to be born through the combination of countless myths. Despite all kinds of contamination, it was still slowly being born.

Perhaps it truly is like a lotus rising from the mud, untainted by its surroundings.

What's even more amazing is that, despite these demonic energies and absurd sacrificial rituals, its spiritual power has become increasingly transparent, and it can even transmit its spiritual power through certain methods.

That is, the lamp that Li Ye nurtured after binding the Earth Demon Ginseng with the Spirit Lotus.

"In other words, the Lotus Lantern Technique was passed down from the Precious Lotus Lantern."

"Where is it now?"

Li Ye finally figured out the whole story.

I was quite surprised.

He was astonished that the Gnostic school could actually create such objects, using mythology as seeds and the world as soil to cultivate legendary divine objects.

It can even steal the power of the divine object itself.

They were also surprised that the Lotus Lantern could actually be created.

Xuanhua Kaishanfu was silent for a moment: "It will appear for whom the flower blooms—this is an extremely crucial link, at least in the legend, so it will be the same."

oh?
Then I'll have to try my best.

"What should we do?" Li Ye asked, full of enthusiasm.

"Destroy me." The Xuanhua Mountain-Splitting Axe answered decisively this time: "Because myths and legends have been excessively mixed, it should have been splitting the mountain to save the mother, and I was that weapon, but now I have become the imprisonment of the Lotus Lantern."

If you want to gain its approval, you must invite divine punishment to destroy me; my destruction will then become the key to obtaining it.

"..."

Li Ye frowned.

He could see that the Xuanhua Mountain-Splitting Axe was already bound to the entire cave heaven; if it were destroyed, the entire cave heaven would be destroyed as well.

So in a sense... were the countless treasures collected by the Earth Wish Fox Clan over the generations the nourishment for the birth of the Lotus Lantern?

What level of spiritual treasure will it become?

but.

Do we really have to do this?

An entire grotto was sacrificed in exchange for a magical treasure.

Not all the Earth Wish Foxes here are bad. If they were all bad, he would have taken action long ago. But in fact, they are not.

"There must be other ways."

He looked around.

The spiritual power belonging to the celestial beings and the power of the symphony of understanding silently surrounded and explored the situation here.

In addition, there was communication with the Xuanhua Mountain-Opening Axe.

He quickly realized that the reason why the Mountain-Splitting Axe wanted Li Ye to draw the power of the Heavenly Dao to destroy it was because its power had inevitably become demonic, and its existence would cause this place to fall into the demonic path.

In other words, if this matter can be resolved, the Lotus Lantern should be able to be born without destroying the grotto.

Think so.

He quickly came up with a plan.

Then they saw Senior Brother Chen and Wei Qingye, who had already knocked out the other fox clan playboys.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Ye standing there unharmed, and then noticed the subtle expression on Li Ye's face, instantly realizing that Li Ye was planning something big again.

So Chen Mo asked helplessly, "What are you trying to do?"

Wei Qingye, on the other hand, had been eager to try for a while and said bluntly, "With me here, even the Nascent Soul level foxes can't get close to you. These foxes are fast, but they're easy targets when it comes to fighting."

It crumbles with the slightest touch.

Li Ye's brows immediately relaxed, and he smiled sincerely, "It's because of Senior Brother and Brother Wei that I dare to do something big."

He first told the two what he knew.

Then he said in a deep voice:

"I see there is too much demonic energy here. I would like to transform and absorb this demonic energy and turn all the Earth Demon Ginseng into Earth Spirit Ginseng. In this way, the seal of the Xuanhua Mountain-Splitting Axe can be lifted."

Doing so would certainly cause great turmoil.

It's estimated that all the Earthly Wish Foxes will riot, but without the power given by the Xuanhua Mountain-Splitting Axe, even the Nascent Soul level foxes are not invincible.

Moreover, Li Ye was already able to control demonic energy, and this much demonic energy was enough for him to create quite a few demonic spirits.

“It’s not impossible.” Chen Mo had already sent out many spirit insects to explore the surrounding environment and terrain, pondering how to set up the formation.

In fact, he had read many books on demonic arts, but he had not been able to try because he did not have a helper who was skilled in controlling demonic energy and could help him build arrays.

With my junior brother around, there won't be any problems at all.

As for Wei Qingye, although he also knows some array formations, he should stay put in front of professional cultivators.

However, he also made a request: "I want to try to control demonic energy. If you control it, it shouldn't damage my foundation."

Upon hearing this, Li Ye's expression immediately changed.

Is this guy too trusting of himself? He actually wants to control demonic energy.

He had suffered a lot when he used demonic energy to forge his Dao heart before, but that was just letting the demonic energy pass through him, which is fundamentally different from controlling the demonic energy.

He said coldly:

"Are you crazy?"

As a result, Wei Qingye had already sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

He said it lightly.

"I believe you."

"..."

Li Ye immediately felt a headache coming on. But since things had come to this point, and he couldn't eat, he could only try to find a solution. Although he was confident, he still had to be extremely cautious.

So the three of them got to work.

Fortunately, the core disciples of the Four Seasons Sect all have more than one personal space. Even if they cannot get support from within the sect, it is not difficult to set up an array on the spot.

It was Li Ye who suffered.

He had to use the Five Elements Spirit Control Technique, after his transformation, to turn the Earth Demon Ginseng into his own possessions and bind them one by one. At the same time, he was busy providing demonic energy for his third senior brother and also had to divert his attention to infusing demonic energy into Wei Qingye.

That is to say, he has already advanced to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and his spiritual sense and magical power have been greatly enhanced. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to achieve his goal by simultaneously pursuing all three aspects.

They are busy here.

The fox clan members who were bound by supernatural powers were also chatting.

In particular, Blue Fox Di Ci and Red Fox Di Xia—the latter already knew that this was actually her brother, and after an initial struggle, she quickly accepted the truth.

Think about it carefully.

It seems that when they bullied me in the past, they weren't really bullying me to death; rather, it was as if they were doing it for show.

"So...brother."

Are they like you?

For some reason, after letting go of his resentment, Di Xia felt an inexplicable sense of dependence on his brother.

Is this what they call blood ties and family affection?
“Hmm.” Di Ci leaned back and sighed softly, “They are actually just like me, dogs kept by the real noble children.”

But if we don't do this, they won't be satisfied at all.

It's like watching a theatrical performance; it's truly ugly.

The other arrogant fox clan brats were the same; their behavior of bullying men and women on the streets was nothing short of laughable.

Is it considered spoiled brat behavior to snatch some fruit and overturn a basket?

Those are clearly just vicious dogs trained by spoiled brats to "clean up the streets." In plays, these kinds of creatures are usually depicted as having blue faces and fangs, like evil demons.

There were as many as stray dogs on the roadside.

A true playboy wouldn't do such a thing, let alone a fox clan with a lineage.

They're sighing and complaining here.

I have absolutely no idea what the future holds.

And outside.

Changes are gradually taking place.

First, there's the endless ginseng fields. Turning them all into your own spirit pets and binding them together is no easy task.

Fortunately, Li Ye had stockpiled enough life essence.

Moreover, when those earth demon ginsengs sensed the comfortable appearance of their companions after being nourished by Li Ye's celestial spiritual energy, they couldn't help but want to pledge allegiance to Li Ye.

So there was absolutely no pressure.

During this process, he also imprisoned many ginseng slaves who worked in the ginseng fields. Those who had committed murder were simply erased, while those who had not were simply sent together and left for the time being.

At this point, Li Ye already considered these guys as his and the sect's possessions, so naturally he wouldn't allow them to be injured or killed.

After all, they couldn't let them escape and affect important matters. If they were really let go, they would probably be the first to die—what would be the point of living if they couldn't guard the ginseng field?

Moreover, it's unclear whether the Earth Wish Fox Clan was too lax. He had already made such a swaggering preparation, yet they didn't react at all, and not even a single Golden Core cultivator showed up.

In conclusion, the issue of Santian has been resolved.

With Li Ye's help, the third senior brother's formation was quickly established. This formation, built on the earth's veins and demonic energy, could withstand all attacks and transfer demonic energy to a specific person.

—This ability was naturally prepared for Li Ye and Wei Qingye.

Wei Qingye placed the sword on his lap. His originally tanned skin was now covered with wisps of demonic patterns, making his handsome features even sharper and more profound. He exuded a more sinister and dangerous aura.

Within his body, a continuously growing mass of demonic energy, controlled by Li Ye, had already surrounded his golden core, replacing his golden core to channel its vast and boundless magical power throughout his meridians.

Even the Xuanhua Mountain-Opening Axe, which had been watching this place, couldn't help but admire the guy's determination, but it was even more surprised by Wei Qingye's attitude.

"How can he trust you so much? If you had even the slightest ill intentions, you could easily corrupt his Golden Core foundation and render all his hard work futile!"

Li Ye sighed slightly: "Perhaps this is the nature of sword cultivators. They generally don't make friends with others, but if they do, they are completely open and honest with each other."

"I'll still pay out of my own pocket."

To be honest, he was under even more pressure than Wei Qingye at this moment. After all, he couldn't let down this heavy trust. This guy's power wasn't as special as his own, so he had to be extremely careful when controlling him.

Fortunately, fate smiled upon them.

Under Li Ye's control and restraint, the demonic energy was relatively obedient and quietly replaced the spiritual energy.

With the stimulation of demonic energy, Wei Qingye's power was almost indistinguishable from that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Moreover, the special nature of sword cultivators meant that even though he was a fake Nascent Soul cultivator, he could still sweep across the land with his sword.

This is the end.

The preparations are finally complete.

Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Xuanhua Mountain-Splitting Axe, saying:

"Senior, are you ready?"

"I'm going to start."

With a hint of anticipation in his voice, Kai Shanfu replied, "Okay."

The words fell.

Suddenly, the countless Earth Demon Ginsengs changed from emitting demonic energy to emitting spiritual energy, and the pure spiritual energy poured out of their mouths like waves.

It converged into a great tide of spiritual energy, directly washing over the surrounding land, and then converging and washing over the almost solidified demonic essence around the Xuanhua Mountain-Splitting Axe.

At the same time, Li Ye also summoned the beavers.

Before these little creatures were all the Lotus Lanterns, and led by the first five beavers, they chanted scriptures in unison.

It's still the familiar "chirp chirp chirp".

But the scriptures are just a form; the beavers, after a long period of refinement, are already comparable to some great and virtuous monks.

Countless lights rose up in this way.

They gently surrounded the fox carcass that had been made into lamp wicks, dispelling the resentment and malevolence within it.

And so the light became as soft as the light emitted by the beavers.

The lotus pond was also purified.

The demonic energy surrounding the daylily-opening axe was quickly purified, and it seemed that... some jade-colored lotus buds were rising in the pool, but they showed no signs of opening.

That's the time.

Li Ye and the other two suddenly looked outside the formation.

A dozen or so black clouds surged rapidly toward this place, all emanating the pressure of the Nascent Soul level.

The slow-witted fox clan finally realized what was happening.
