Symbiotic panel, I am cultivating immortality in the world of immortality

Chapter 329 The Lotus Lantern Splits Open the Cave Heaven
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Only that arrow, which was shining brightly yet carried the power of death, flew towards Li Ye.

Li Ye, who was locked in, even felt a sense of palpitations, as if she were about to die.

Honestly.

He had never experienced this feeling of being on the verge of death since he transmigrated... no, even before he transmigrated.

What's even more terrifying is that he was powerless to stop it.

Because the moment he saw the arrow, it had already pierced into his divine soul avatar, accompanied by unbearable pain.

That's how Li Ye is.

It broke.

It turned into countless fragments.

It shattered before Wei Qingye and Chen Mo could even react.

"..."

"..."

They were both stunned at the same time.

Even knowing that Li Ye was just an avatar and that his true body was still on Ruoquan Island, protected by the power of the Moon Goddess Wangshu, they still felt a near-violent fire rising in their hearts.

When have the Four Seasons Sect or the Heavenly Vein Sword Mountain ever been able to watch their fellow disciples or friends be "killed" in front of them like this?

"It's alright."

That's what Chen Mo said.

But he had already made a decisive move.

He took out some treasured materials that had been "gifted" to him by a friend from the Mountain and Sea Realm from his storage bag.

It contains the essence and blood of the Bifang, the heart of the Xuan Turtle, and even the tail feathers of the Vermilion Bird and the eyes of the Zhulong...

These extremely rare and precious materials spread out in ripples around him, and actually transformed into countless beings from mythology.

Especially that Candle Dragon.

From the moment he appeared, he fixed his gaze on the Netherworld cultivator hiding beside the Black Fox King.

It is considered daytime when one closes one's eyes, and nighttime when one closes them.

Now that it is gazing at the other, it signifies that endless light has begun to shine from wherever its gaze falls.

It even interrupted the process of the Lotus Lantern gathering spiritual power.

It is clear.

It's at the Nascent Soul level, and not just any ordinary Nascent Soul.

"Ha, using mythology to nourish treasures? Do you really think my Four Seasons Sect hasn't studied this method before?"

Chen Mo looked at the cultivator who had concealed his presence and said sarcastically:
"I shouldn't have mentioned this to outsiders."

"It's a pity that you're all going to die here now, but that doesn't really matter."

“Two thousand years ago, one of our elders obtained some of your methods and analyzed them. However, those methods were truly against the natural order. Moreover, we have the Mountain and Sea Realm, which is capable of nurturing the treasures of mythology.”

The words fell.

Before the Candle Dragon could even unleash its supernatural powers...

Then, a truly astonishing sword aura rose from the void.

The sword energy rippled outwards with a bronze hue, not a luxurious gold, but a rusty copper color.

Anything that comes into contact with these rust marks, whether it's a Golden Core cultivator or a Nascent Soul cultivator, seems to have endured millions of years of wind and frost. It can't even struggle to break free and instantly shatters into countless copper shavings scattered in all directions.

"..." Chen Mo couldn't finish what he was about to say.

Oh my god.

This sword cultivator is even more insane than him.

Isn't that one of the secret techniques of Tianmai Sword Mountain, the legendary Heaven-Shattering Sword?

That was the creation power used by the founder of Tianmai Sword Mountain to split the chaos and open up the earliest world, which allowed the founder of the Four Seasons Sect to build the Jianmu Array that anchors time and space.

It is said that after the creation of the world, when this patriarch was idly practicing this technique in the newly created world, the sky collapsed, hence the name "Heaven-Shattering Sword".

With such extreme killing techniques, Chen Mo could even see blood seeping from Wei Qingye's body, his entire body riddled with holes, and his breath becoming shallow and weak.

He quickly controlled the magic array to take the latter over.

With a serious expression, she stuffed a handful of pills into his hand and frowned, saying, "Why are you doing this? You and I both know that it was just an avatar!"

But to everyone's surprise, Wei Qingye gave a bleak smile: "But I feel that the Sword Spirit Jade is somewhat shattered..."

"..."

Chen Mo paused for a moment, then waved to the mythical beasts of the mountains and seas around him.

The mythical beasts, who had been eagerly waiting, immediately pounced and began a fierce battle—this was the ferocity of the most primitive mythical beasts of the mountains and seas, their anger in the face of "danger" that they relied on for survival.

and so.

No matter how the fox clan's Nascent Soul cultivators tried to stop them.

Even that couldn't stop them from being torn apart, gnawed at, and devoured...

The cultivator from the Gnostic School suffered the most, being locked onto by the gaze of the Candle Dragon, and with the sword energy emanating from the Heavenly Sword, his physical body and soul would change endlessly over time.

It will only perish when its consciousness is completely consumed.

The celestial phenomena of blood and the destruction of nascent souls never ceased, pouring down upon the earth and even forming a river of blood.

It was also swallowed up by the Weak Water.

"Let's go."

"At least go and see what the situation is like outside."

"Junior brother is definitely not going to die; at most, he'll just be injured."

Controlling these mythical beasts from the mountains and seas was also a huge pressure for Chen Mo, and he helped Wei Qingye to his feet.

The two were just about to pack up and leave.

But they found the beavers gathered around the lotus pond.

In the deep, dark waters, the lotus flowers had already fully bloomed, though no one knew when.

Golden petals swayed in the breeze, their movements graceful and relaxed.

The light it emitted was more compassionate and dazzling than the light of the beaver's lotus lamp, yet it had no distinction between the Dao and the demonic.

A golden halo rose from countless lotus flowers.

It gradually spread throughout the entire cave.

In particular, they surrounded Wei Qingye and Chen Mo, and began to repair their injuries.

The speed of this repair is simply indescribable. It can affect the soul, the body, and even restore consciousness and energy. Just by being illuminated by this radiance, a person can immediately return to their peak condition.

It doesn't even have any side effects.

Li Ye's helpless voice followed:

"It's fine."

"After my soul collapsed, it merged into the earth and was captured by the light of the Lotus Lantern. I am currently cultivating its Tongbao Technique."

"Wait a moment, I'll be back to normal."

His voice sounded perfectly normal, which reassured them both for the time being.

Wei Qingye still had doubts:
"Why did the sword spirit jade shatter... I can still feel that it is still shattered."

Li Ye remained silent for a moment before replying, "It did affect my main body a little, but only a little. I'll show you why when I come out."

Done.

His voice then faded away.

Wei Qingye and Chen Mo looked at each other, feeling that things were not so simple.

...Actually, it's not that simple.

Those terrifying arrows were probably tempered with the blood of the Golden Crow, and very likely they were divine weapons cultivated from the myth of "Hou Yi Shooting Down the Suns".

Once hit, it's not just a matter of destroying the avatar; it also affects the stability of his main body, Ruomu.

His second, soon-to-be-born sun was affected by the deathly aura of the golden crow... and was born prematurely.

The problem is that its power has also been completely corrupted.

A grayish-blue sun swayed on the branches of the Ruomu tree. The light it emitted was not the bright and dazzling sunlight, but a deep one, as if it wanted to pull everything into an abyss.

It was precisely because of its sudden birth that it absorbed too much power and even caused turmoil, which led to Li Ye suffering a serious injury, and the Sword Spirit Jade also suffered.

Li Ye was really worried.

"Ugh."

"Thankfully, you were born."

He withdrew his divine sense.

Gazing at the Lotus Lantern that had silently risen not far away.

It is wrapped in layers of jade-like pink lotus petals, with a lotus seedpod-shaped emerald gold lamp base at the bottom, and a lotus seed in the center that serves as the lamp wick.

It doesn't look very fancy overall.

There was no earth-shattering light, it just floated there quietly, emitting rings of firelight.

【Name】：The Lotus Lantern - Imitation

Mood: None

[Status]: A replica of the legendary Lotus Lantern, built from endless myths, possessing the power of compassion that ignores the distinction between the righteous and the demonic, and only considers the user's true heart.

But it is not complete; its wick needs to be filled with special treasures, or another wick needs to be created through mythology.

The current filler is: Earth Wish Spirit Jade.

The current usable time is 321 years.

Li Ye blinked.

Even an incomplete replica of the Lotus Lantern possesses such terrifying power?

He could vaguely sense that the power of this Lotus Lantern had reached at least the level of the Nascent Soul stage, or even higher... Of course, it would be very difficult for him to control it and unleash the power of the Nascent Soul stage.

As he was lost in thought, the Lotus Lantern floated up in front of him, its light flickering, as if urging him to grasp it quickly.

Seeing this, Li Ye did not hesitate.

He reached out and grabbed the Lotus Lantern.

The remaining trace of divine consciousness was instantly enveloped by immense power, and a body made of lotus flowers took shape in reality in an instant.

Even... there's a skirt with a hem that looks like lotus petals.

His sudden appearance stunned Wei Qingye and his third senior brother. Then, looking at Li Ye's robe and skirt made of pink and gold petals, their expressions were quite subtle.

Actually, it looks good.

The aesthetic sense of the Lotus Lantern is obviously quite good. The pink and gold clothes do not look effeminate. On the contrary, they make Li Ye look particularly heroic and spirited.

It's as if I've instantly become several years younger.

Or, to put it another way, as long as a person is good-looking and has a good figure, it's impossible for their clothes to be ugly.

However, the colors were far too bright and delicate, so different from the solid-colored Taoist robes that Li Ye usually liked to wear, that they both felt a little uncomfortable.

"You've recovered already?" Chen Mo circled around Li Ye, surprised. "Lotus incarnation... Just how much mythology is mixed into this Lotus Lantern? And what about the Three Altars Sea Gathering God?"

"After all, in mythology, the Lotus Lantern was born in the cave of the Immortal Taiyi."

"Senior brother really suffered a huge loss this time, I will find a way to make up for it for you."

After Li Ye finished speaking, he looked at Wei Qingye.

With a slight smile, he said, "Brother Wei, it's the same. I remember that the best way to practice the Heavenly Sword is with the Jianmu tree. I'll gladly accompany you then."

As for other compensation, there's no need to elaborate here; he will definitely provide it.

Both of them waved their hands indifferently.

"Your trump cards are meant to be used; you can only replenish them once they've been used up."

"This experience of controlling demonic energy was extremely rare for me. If I go back and go into seclusion, I should be able to break through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm."

By now, they had a general understanding of the power of the Lotus Lantern.

how to say.

This thing is like an all-powerful spiritual energy enhancer, capable of unleashing all supernatural abilities and amplifying and strengthening those abilities.

But its greatest strength lies in purification, healing, and defense.

Take purification as an example.

Its purification can cleanse anything that Li Ye considers "filthy," regardless of whether the object is Taoist or demonic, or how sacred it may appear to outsiders. As long as Li Ye deems it filthy, it can be purified.

Its healing ability is capable of healing almost any injury, and if the power is sufficient, it can even bring the dead back to life—and if combined with the supernatural power of resurrection, the effect is even better.

Furthermore, its defensive capabilities make it virtually impervious to all attacks.

As long as its light remains, even a cataclysmic destruction cannot harm Li Ye in the slightest.

—By the way, the ability it used to help Li Ye create this lotus incarnation is a healing ability.

For Li Ye, this Lotus Lantern was simply the most suitable magic weapon.

There's no need to worry about the difference between spiritual energy and demonic energy, nor about whether wielding this object will harm him. He already possesses many supernatural abilities, and with the blessing of the Lotus Lantern, he can accomplish even more...

But there is one last question.

That is.

The birth of the Lotus Lantern almost exhausted the spiritual energy accumulated by Diyuan Cave over thousands of years. Now, Diyuan Cave is almost completely desolate.

The Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators who arrived had all been completely crushed by Wei Qingye and Chen Mo's trump cards, and their blood was still flowing.

The other foxes, whose cultivation levels were slightly lower, huddled in their respective huts, trembling with fear.

The precious spiritual plants transplanted by the Earth Wish Foxes were already on their last legs, and many of the more delicate ones had died on the spot in front of Li Ye and the others.

"That's simple."

Suddenly, Xuanhua Mountain-Splitting Axe said, "As long as you use me to split open the barrier of the Earth Wish Cave Heaven and connect with the Dao Fan Realm, it will naturally heal all the spiritual plants and beasts here."

However, if you do that, the treasures here will likely be scattered and sent to other places by the power of the Heavenly Dao of the Dao Prosperity Realm.

After all, the treasures here were all "

Li Ye did not hesitate at all.

Anyway, he didn't originally intend to monopolize so many treasures here; he just needed to discuss it with Wei Qingye and his third senior brother.

He looked at the two of them.

The two waved their hands and said, "You decide. The spiritual plants here... are not easy to take."

The Heavenly Dao probably already hates the Earth Wish Fox Clan to the core. If they took all those treasures, they'd probably cause a furnace explosion when they went out to refine any pills or magical artifacts.

Anyway, they've already left behind quite a few magical imprints. At worst, they can go out and search again. Once the Heavenly Dao cleanses away the ominous aura above, they can bring it back, treating it as a treasure hunt.

"it is good."

Li Ye was finally relieved.

He grasped the daylily-splitting axe that flew towards him.

Then, aiming directly at the sky, he cleaved it down fiercely—

"Crack!"

The sky, which had been strengthened by the Earth Wish Fox Clan for countless years and had consumed countless treasures, was thus directly cleaved open.

However, what surged in first was not the power of the Heavenly Dao from the Dao Fan Realm, but rather...

The waters of Weichuan.
