Chapter 835 - 459: Are You Teasing Me? (Part 2)
Su Xing smiled and said, "I can sense the elder's worries... hmm?"
He was just about to say a few polite words when he saw Li Ye take out a willow leaf-like instrument and gently play it at his mouth.
The melodious music and Immortal Ribbon soared behind Li Ye.
Above the continuous rain, brilliance spread everywhere.
"..."
Su Xing felt that the excitement he had encountered in half his life did not surpass this.
He suddenly had a feeling.
This elder might just be playing with them.
Just like mortals would tease monkeys with toys.
The monkeys would chirp, and the people nearby would laugh heartily.
Moreover.
He didn't think this elder had malicious intent.
He even felt a trace of inexplicable anger, as if watching a mischievous child at home, itching to find something to teach a lesson.
In the end, he spread his hands: "If you say nothing, then there's nothing else I can do. Shall we, father and son, accompany you to watch the wind and rain here?"
Click.
Did they figure it out?
Li Ye sighed helplessly, initially intending to playfully tease his young master and record it to watch later.
After all, the mistress would protect him.
Unexpectedly, it was uncovered in such a short while.
No choice.
He spoke in a normal tone:
"Alright."
"Then let's discuss some serious matters."
The wind and rain instantly dissipated, as did the sacrificial altar of Li Hun.
He stood on the beach calmly looking directly at Su Xing:
"I can create Jia Fruit, and I know exactly where the Hell Path base is."
As he spoke, he looked towards the sky: "Ancestor Compassion, grant your blessing!"
A golden-green light instantly fell down.
It landed on the Hell Transformation Diagram he laid open.
In no time, Spirit Wood composed of wheat and rice grew on it, intertwining and enlarging to form a delicate fruit before him.
He grabbed it in his hand; it was the Jia Fruit.
This scene not only stunned Su Xing but also the deities watching the area.
Ah? Is it given just like that?
Though Compassion answers prayers, casually granting a Jia Fruit like that seems inappropriate; such an item is even considered a miracle of Fengrao.
"Here, take it."
Li Ye tossed the Jia Fruit to his senior brother, then suddenly leaned in, like guiding a close junior, instructing him how to use the Jia Fruit.
Jiang Guichen felt dizzy.
But he didn't resist this approach.
Because it truly felt like his own kin.
Seeing his senior brother studying well, Li Ye nodded satisfactorily.
"Mm."
"Next, I must trouble Ancestor Jianmu to send me a bit of strength."
His tone was light and familiar.
As if he had said this many times.
He didn't care if it might be too abrupt.
Jianmu in the heavenly dome gazed at Li Ye and suddenly spoke:
"You come from the River of Cosmic Light, don't you?"
"Which world's disciple are you?"
"Do not worry, I will give you a gift!"
With the tone of Jianmu, Divine Power fell without reservation, forming a mark on Li Ye.
It was a mark only Jianmu could see.
Learned from the Celestial Years sister to deal with such Outer Domain visitors; once another self sees it, they will know exactly what this person has done.
But.
Such power still belongs to the primordial power of Jianmu.
Li Ye smiled slightly, transferring the mark to his Jianmu, then directly snapped off that branch with a "crack".
Under Jianmu's somewhat numb gaze, he threw it afar, like a meteor falling into the East Pole Yang Sea, directly pining down the Hell Transformation Diagram trying to escape within.
The scene of hell exploded over the sea.
Eighteen layers of layered light emitted extremely ominous Death Qi, as well as deep Resentment Qi and desires as thick as sludge.
"Do you know what that is?"
Li Ye pointed to the sludge, holding up the mud of the eighteen hells.
Su Xing had already walked in front of him.
He also didn't know why he stood in front of such an elder, but that's what he did.
He looked back and asked:
"Why?"
"What is that?"
Li Ye answered: "That is the Celestial Being's corpse water."
——Even in the Four Seasons Sect in reality, this was discovered after extensive research.
Originally, the Hell Transformation Diagram was indeed good.
The Celestial Being inside was genuinely longing for hell to turn into pure land, but over time, its color grew increasingly dim.
The "holy" drawn with the blood of Compassion and Celestial Being began to fade.
Even Celestial Beings also have times of death. He began fearing, fearing if he dies, what would happen to hell? Would that endless suffering spread out?
So he pleaded to Compassion.
Compassion would naturally grant him "eternal life."
That is, Jia Fruit can only grow above suffering.
Proper eternal life should be carefree, unrestrained, going wherever one desires, but the eternal life given by Compassion, because of his own nature, became... a shackle.
He could only stay within the Hell Transformation Diagram.
Gradually, he realized if he also embraced suffering, wouldn't he achieve true eternal life?
So he began to decline.
Hell empty, will not become Buddha.
Hell empty, I can live eternally.
As long as the endless pain remains, he can grow Jia Fruit on himself, he can continue to exist.
After all, he could let some "people" enjoy the Celestial Being's offerings, achieving eternal life in his world, doesn't that satisfy his master's requirements?
As for others.
It didn't matter; they were merely tools.
What happened afterward is unknown, possibly something grew from his decaying flesh, anyway, the Hell Path grew increasingly terrifying, becoming a true hell.
——This is the truth.
So Li Ye believes if you do anything smart, you must set it up well, otherwise, suddenly a hell riot, a celestial being crisis, the entire world would suffer along.
He couldn't accept that the helpless suffering he witnessed was just... the product of a poor celestial puppet.
"So please, die."
Li Ye's body gradually began floating.
He looked down at the senior brother, inviting: "Your heart is the night curtain, enough to bring peace, allowing all beings to pass through such a disaster in sleep.
Help me, help your uncle."
"Are you really my uncle?" Jiang Guichen seemed to realize something, he could discern from how Li Ye naturally avoided behind his father earlier.
This must be a long-established habit.
Does an uncle hide behind a younger brother?
"Are you possibly my junior brother from another world?"
"Li Ye."
Ugh, this is why I truly dislike you overly sensitive cultivators.
Li Ye's expression remained calm, reaching out to his brother.
A long-lost clay doll appeared on his shoulder, leveraging the Spirit of Ruo Wood, began spreading the power of Heart Soil across the entire world.
Night fell.
Only the radiant bow and arrow in Li Ye's hand shone.
He exerted his strength, drawing the bowstring full.
The Jianmu behind him began expanding, stabilizing the surrounding space.
Then.
"Die!"
With a loud shout.
"Whoosh—"
The meteor-like arrow instantly fell into the Hell Path, starting to burn and churn those filthy forces, countless terrifying screeches rose, but continued dissolving in the arrow's beams like a descending sun.
This is shooting Sirius!
Plus, taken from the sun inside the Hell Transformation Diagram!
For the Hell Path itself, it's a special attack.
No matter what, it can't resist.
In the end...
Like a dying fire.
"Crackle."
The sound of burning exhaustion echoed, it completely extinguished.
Only the night curtain covered this world in tranquility.
