Chapter 829 - 456: The Depictor of Hell (Part 2)
Some people are born said to be at the pinnacle of this world, and it's not an exaggeration.
"He is actually not purely from the Human Race."
"He is..."
The starlight rippled for a moment, as if obstructed by something, but the voice still clearly carried on:
"Celestial Being."
Huh.
At this point, Li Ye also felt a bit puzzled.
A Celestial Being, isn't there already one?
Such beings are not powerless creatures that only indulge in pleasure; it's said they even have priority in recruitment by celestial soldiers and generals. As for those who laboriously ascend from the lower realms, whether you become celestial soldiers or generals depends on connections beforehand.
After all, the Taoist Sect really values connections.
The indescribable ties between Tao transmissions are a lifetime challenge.
"It's a Celestial Being you've met."
"Haven't you ever been curious about the origin of the Hell Path's celestial sacrifice method? It's actually from Senior Brother Yuan."
"Back then, some voluntarily consumed the Jia Fruit of Compassion, gaining eternal life span from mortals and dedicating all their heart and soul to the sect—only then could they gain the notice of mortals."
Upon hearing this, Li Ye knew he was approaching the core secrets of the Four Seasons Sect.
He was indeed curious.
Because even ancestral prohibitions made mundane matters too remote for cultivators, let alone for the leader of a prominent sect.
"To bear the passage between heaven and humans; is such a Celestial Being?" Li Ye softly sighed.
"So why are you telling me this?"
He looked at the Heavenly Dome without blinking.
"It's to request you not to blame Senior Brother Yuan."
"He saw your current dilemma, hence decided to entrust the burden to you, because of your care and concern. You surely can tend well to mortals."
Li Ye helplessly pursed his lips: "Do I seem to be such an unreasonable person that even you need to persuade me?
Making me look like a villain."
His words were sincere.
But it was power!
Though unwilling to accept, the Sect Leader entrusted this power to him, the treasures of the Four Seasons Sect.
Precisely because of this, he earnestly took up the responsibility as Spirit Leaf City Lord, disregarding his health to undertake other tasks.
This kindness is difficult to repay, only maintaining the illustrious renown of the Four Seasons Sect, enduring the universe, can repay it.
As for now.
He simply felt he had truly done many things, combined with Tribulation Qi affecting him, he wanted rest; like taking a long book reading nap during a school break.
If the Sect Leader truly needed him, he would rise up to face it.
"Regardless, I wanted to mention it." The master's voice carried a hint of teasing: "Where do you plan to go next? This matter is mostly resolved, do you still have doubts?"
"..."
Li Ye quietly opened his palm.
In his hand was a leaf emitting a warm yellow light, similar to ginkgo but with serrated patterns.
It was obtained from the tree that "Lu Sui" transformed into beside River of Cosmic Light.
"I want to meet these two seniors."
"Ask if they ever regretted."
Starlight didn't respond.
But this signified agreement from his master—or rather, he wouldn't interfere, as long as Li Ye desired it, watching was enough; he could proceed.
The rain seemed to gradually stop.
Bright sunlight pierced the dense clouds, illuminating.
Reflecting countless radiant dawn lights in the mud, and cheered Li Ye's spirits.
Alas.
His master is still so considerate.
Specially imparted secrets, fearing Li Ye would blame the Sect Leader.
However.
Despite his good mood now.
There's still a hint of helplessness when looking at Senior Sister Liu.
He's now more certain.
This place is indeed not some dream, but another world found by the tree he pinched, a world without "Li Ye."
Otherwise, Zhao He wouldn't have died here.
Obviously,
not all cultivators fall for Senior Sister Liu's soft tactics.
"Senior Sister Liu." Li Ye spoke: "I don't want you to die, nor will I let you die. I will transform all the Resentment Qi here into Hungry Bone.
Before you completely purify this Resentment Qi, you can't die.
Neither old nor dead, how is that not enduring agony?"
He walked to Senior Sister Liu.
Senior Sister Liu looked at Li Ye who gazed down at her.
Tamingly lowered her head, voice filled with expectation:
"If I can atone, I will do my utmost."
"But what's your name... Junior Brother, I'll have every household worship your Eternal Life Tablet, praying for you."
Li Ye's finger was already pressing against her forehead.
A mark made of the river's gray water, like indelible gray, forever carrying a deep hue.
"Me."
"My name is Li Ye."
The moment the voice fell, Senior Sister Liu felt a weight lifted from her forehead.
The cultivator before her had vanished, along with his departure were numerous dazzling beams tearing through the sky, illuminating this already cleansed land with resplendence.
The corpses vanished.
Those once vast cries were buried by the earth.
But only...
Bones sprouted purple and red flowers, radiant bones and vibrant blooms, this stark contrast, like the embers of once vibrant lives remaining.
"Hungry Bone."
Flint Fire Divine Turtle somehow had left the deep pool.
Its body wasn't large, just a bit taller than a person.
Like flint covered in moss, only the top and eyes sparkled with unceasing flames.
This deity gazed afar at the stretched Hungry Bone.
Eyes flashed with pain.
Then it looked at Senior Sister Liu, suddenly saying: "Share that mark with me, and I'll purify these Hungry Bone with you."
"Interesting indeed."
"I sense his strength has the power of the Jianmu leader, Su Xing, and even... unspeakable power."
"Could he come from another Four Seasons Sect, if indeed, that world must be better..."
"No."
Senior Sister Liu interrupted the Flint Fire Divine Turtle: "If it truly were better, how could he still come here?"
"..."
"You're right."
The Flint Fire Divine Turtle had to admit she was not wrong.
The manner in which he killed the fox, as if wishing calamity upon its ancestors, certainly seemed fueled by anger.
Still unknown what drove "Li Ye" to care so much.
Moreover, his power...
Divinity Transformation?
Only Divinity Transformation's innate divine techniques can control weather like that, yet he is clearly at Nascent Soul late-period, how could he possess Divinity Transformation's techniques?
Li Ye naturally didn't know its doubts.
For now, Li Ye arrived at a place... a strangely odd place.
Around him hung numerous pictures of foxes and cats, each precisely lifelike, the animals inside seemingly ready to leap out.
As they were so abundant, tens of thousands of cats and foxes' eyes intentionally or unintentionally fell here, making it somewhat eerie.
Evidently these endearing creatures, were so terrifying.
"..."
"So senior, you're actually a pervert."
Li Ye sighed, looking at a picture on the table.
An unfinished picture.
Within, depicting the scenery of Hell, with a Confucian Scholar of extreme handsomeness gazing out from the painting.
Tch.
This moment feigning bravery.
When my Ancestor Master arrives, dare to try faking bravado again?
Li Ye wore a gentle smile, watching the Confucian Scholar gradually coming out of the painting.
And the female behind him wielding a hoe.
Indeed.
It was Lu Sui.
