Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 680 - 382: Seeking the Heavens (Part 2)

Truly a harsh fate.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Li Ye had already arrived at Celestial Vein Sword Mountain.

This process took some time because as he entered the Tao Furnace Realm, he was surrounded by a fragment of Celestial Vein that was unreasonably thrown at him.

The Celestial Dao insisted on gifting him a Five-Colored Stone armor for his Nascent Soul and even reforged the previous glass bracelet, forcefully giving it to him with a strong stance that he couldn’t leave without taking them.

"Helplessly," Li Ye could only take away these two treasures — at the moment, his Nascent Soul had donned the armor, and the plump wrist had the glass bracelet.

If it were under normal circumstances, he would certainly show off a bit.

But at the moment, he really had no vitality to think about such things.

Because he had come to Celestial Vein Sword Mountain and successfully met Wei Qingye.

At this moment, Wei Qingye was soaking in a pool built within the Celestial Vein by Celestial Vein Sword Mountain. Endless radiance surged toward the pool, enough to resurrect even the dead after soaking for a while.

Yet Wei Qingye still looked pale.

His lower half was gradually turning into feathers, and his upper half was covered with cracks, through which veins and even organs were visible...

The whole person looked quite miserable.

Even seemed to be on the verge of... dissolution.

"You must be thinking some inappropriate thoughts." Wei Qingye didn’t care too much, trying to straighten up and look at Li Ye: "This is the price of my breakthrough to Nascent Soul, and for using the sword strikes left by the predecessors.

My master and the Sect Leader instructed that I must break through to Nascent Soul in the Tao Furnace Realm to make up for the defects of my Tao Fruit and reach perfection."

Li Ye didn’t dare to intervene casually.

He didn’t know if his spiritual power entering this pool would cause any unknown changes, so he could only cautiously stand by the poolside.

With a serious expression:

"So is there any way to help you?"

"As long as you say, as long as there is a way, I will do everything I can to resolve it."

At this point, saying something like you shouldn’t help me is purely a waste of time; he was already at Nascent Soul, and though he couldn’t freely use the sect’s resources, he could still mobilize most of them.

Yet he still had worries.

If there really was a way, Celestial Vein Sword Mountain would have already communicated with the Four Seasons Sect, and the Four Seasons Sect would definitely not refuse.

He was truly worried, Wei Qingye shook his head saying no.

"Yes."

Just then a female voice came.

The Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivator who had once handed the Small Thousand World seed to Li Ye appeared, staring directly at Li Ye:

"Do you see here?"

"This is the Celestial Vein, leading directly to the depths of the heavens."

"If you can obtain the essence of the heavens, he can undergo Tribulation Crossing again. Successfully crossing it will repair this damage."

She pointed into the distance.

The depths of the boundless sea of clouds.

It was vast, ethereal, even giving Li Ye an indescribable pressure, as if entering into it would be surrounded by solitude and coldness.

But Li Ye did not hesitate.

"Okay."

He instinctively felt that this would be extremely difficult.

"What’s good about it?"

"What’s so good about it!"

Wei Qingye at that moment wished to stand up, but unfortunately, feathers kept growing on him, and the cracks increased.

"Celestial Vein has always been managed by our Celestial Vein Sword Mountain, even we haven’t been able to obtain a few essence fragments of the heavens. Do you still not know how difficult it is?"

"Leave quickly!"

"I won’t die just yet!"

Clearly, something troublesome was involved, otherwise, he wouldn’t be speaking this way in front of the Divinity Transformation predecessor from his own sect.

But Li Ye still kept a calm demeanor and smiled: "Did you think it was troublesome back then?"

"..."

Wei Qingye’s strength instantly drained away, collapsing back into the spring.

Indeed.

How could it be seen as troublesome?

Seeing Wei Qingye not speaking anymore, the Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivator continued:

"Qingye is also correct."

"The depth of the Celestial Vein poses only one problem, and that is to find the true Celestial Dao."

"Originally, our founder, to prevent the Celestial Dao of this world from being discovered and controlled by others, specifically placed it at the end of the Bronze Divine Tree, which means in the future."

"Everything the Celestial Dao does now is from a thought it sent from the distant future. To find it, one must cross the Bronze Divine Tree and the river of Cosmic Light from years."

"But the future in which it exists will be a future where all things are complete, meaning that to find it, everything on the journey must be done absolutely correctly."

"Perfection in the Tao Furnace Realm is absolutely impossible; thankfully, the founders left a small path for us."

"You will find worlds on the journey, gradually growing, and ultimately as a complete world, offering them as sacrifices to locate it."

Li Ye: "..."

Honestly, just listening to it seemed very difficult.

Absolutely correct, a world?

As one who engaged in numerous "keyboard sword immortal" discussions before his traversal, even the development of the Tao Furnace Realm couldn’t be deemed absolutely correct, and creating an absolutely correct world seemed nearly impossible.

Because history teaches with heavy blows, and will strike again; even with powerful control, the entire world cannot develop according to one’s intentions — because it also cannot be absolutely correct.

But it definitely still needs to be pursued.

He took a deep breath and raised a few questions:

"The route probably won’t be short, how to ensure Brother Wei’s injury?"

"How did the predecessors achieve it in the past?"

"What if I fail to obtain it?"

The Sword Cultivator replied:

"The depths of the Celestial Vein is the future, Qingye’s injuries are in the present, so he won’t continue deteriorating, but he cannot help you either."

"If you cannot obtain it... you’ll only be trapped inside, waiting for the next cultivator willing to seek the end of the heavens to bring you back."

"As for how the previous cultivators obtained it, I won’t go over it again, but the only correct path can only be achieved by using the human heart to overcome the Celestial Dao."

"If truly following the development of the Celestial Dao, there would be no place for us cultivators. You should understand you are special, and your Dao is special as well.

I believe you can reach the end and perceive the Celestial Dao."

——The last part felt like it was said without saying anything.

Yet, miraculously, Li Ye understood what she meant.

So he nodded: "I also believe."

Saying this, he summoned the magnificent pavilion from within his Cave Mansion, placing Wei Qingye along with the spring water inside it, sitting himself at the entrance.

Waving to the Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivator, he said:

"Wait for my good news!"

The splendid pavilion seemed slow but actually moved quickly toward the depths of the Celestial Vein, leaving the Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivator standing there.

Squinting her eyes, she watched as the pavilion disappeared.

A man in a green robe with a dashing and handsome appearance, towering at more than three zhàng tall, appeared beside her at some unknown time.

"Yang Ke Dao You, the friend of Xia?"

The Sword Cultivator didn’t turn her head and smiled, saying: "Is this result acceptable?"

The man named Yang Ke frown: "Can Li Ye really do it?"

"There are actually other ways to obtain that treasure."

He had rushed over when Li Ye set out for this place, always observing from the side, partly to prevent some things from happening, and partly out of curiosity to see how this matter would unfold.

Never expected it would still end like this.

After a long silence, the Sword Cultivator finally spoke: "I don’t know, but my Lifebound Spirit Sword is on Wei Qingye. In case they really encounter any mishaps.

The Spirit Sword made from the original Jianmu would be enough to transcend time and space to bring them back."

Yang Ke furrowed his brows even deeper: "I wasn’t referring to that. I also have a contingency on Li Ye.

The crucial point is, you should know, the heavenly wounds are limited, and if it is to draw out essence fragments, it would mean further splitting a wound.

This area might shrink a lot.

By then, we might not be able to interfere with the Celestial Dao at all."

This time the Sword Cultivator didn’t respond.

Yang Ke also remained silent afterward.

Their eyes fixed on the distance, in the direction where the pavilion disappeared, silently waiting for the duo to return, or... the moment their intervention might be needed.
