Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 669 - 377: The Village of Ginseng Fruit

Watching himself about to be split in two.

Li Ye struggled even more furiously, and then he noticed... Miao Du’s eyes carried a trace of mockery.

Hm?

He immediately realized that Ancestor Miaodu had probably discovered him, or at the least found out that this "Ginseng Fruit" was not normal—so what reason made her reluctant to speak it out directly?

Li Ye’s mind was racing.

Suddenly he heard Taoist Dongcang say:

"Sister, you must hold it well. If this fruit falls, it will burrow into the earth and disappear. I heard many objects are buried beneath, so be cautious."

Clearly, these words were laden with meaning.

Li Ye simply continued his frantic squirming, and in Miao Du’s an exclaiming shout, he plunged into the earth, disappearing instantly.

Seeing the Ginseng Fruit hit the ground.

Miao Du felt slightly relieved.

But with a rather regrettable face, she said, "Ah, it’s still fallen. Do I truly lack the fortune to taste the Ginseng Fruit?"

"Humph."

A sudden snicker sounded beside him.

The voice boldly remarked, "A Divinity Transformation couldn’t hold onto a single fruit, what were you thinking? Did you have an old bond with that fruit, Miao Du Senior Sister?"

Accompanied by the voice.

A man dressed rather lavishly, perhaps excessively so, appeared. Though smiling, his eyes remained ice cold.

Since his arrival, Taoist Dongcang couldn’t hide her look of disgust. If not for Miao Du holding her hand, they might have started fighting.

Because this man.

Was originally a disciple of the Four Seasons Sect.

He even... was once renowned as the "Spring Radiance" Divinity Transformation.

Given the Four Seasons Sect’s nurturing and support, one could imagine how much privilege and resources a Divinity Transformation could command, so his betrayal left the elders silent for a very long time.

The Divinity Transformation of the Four Seasons Sect, even among all heaven and earth, could hold their ground and be seated in prestigious positions as guests, yet the result was betrayal...

"Must you persist in entangling with me?"

Miao Du just asked this simple question: "Do you think the shelter of the Celebratory Light Realm can protect you, completely unharmed?"

In a very calm tone.

There was no threat implied, just a plain statement of fact—the Four Seasons Sect, knowing he was hidden here, might even ask Ancestor Jianmu to act and certainly eliminate him.

Traitors, they truly aroused deep disgust.

But the man showed no fear, smiling radiantly: "Senior Sister, I too was a disciple of the Four Seasons Sect..."

As soon as he spoke.

"Whoosh!"

A fierce chill accompanied by frost swept across his face, instantly slashing a bone-deep cut, freezing even blood and flesh, appearing extremely terrifying.

Taoist Dongcang took out a handkerchief, wiped her fingers, and said slowly yet coldly, "I’d advise you to watch your words."

The man seemed indifferent, not bothering to wipe away the bloodstain.

He stepped back.

Meaningfully said:

"For the sake of our former camaraderie, I’ll share one more piece of news—this place, is not the fairy-tale of Immortal Gods bestowing blessings upon the world, but a revised, self-serving myth.

Farewell, you two.

Till we meet again."

Finished speaking, he briskly vanished.

Leaving Miao Du and Dongcang looking solemn, they communicated via a special Secret Technique:

"Can he be trusted?"

"...At least, what he said wasn’t false."

"My only worry is whether the child can interpret our meaning and find that object within the earth."

"A narrative like this always relies on an object to exist, that object is likely connected with Wuzhuang Temple, though exactly what, is uncertain."

After their brief exchange, they parted again.

Of course.

Taoist Dongcang didn’t forget to use a treasured artifact to send a snippet of news back to the sect—one could only imagine what reaction Li Ye’s sudden disappearance would cause over there.

Probably by now, even Ancestor Jianmu might have begun searching across all heavens and realms.

...

Indeed, as they anticipated.

The Four Seasons Sect was shrouded in a grave atmosphere.

A carefully cultivated core disciple of exceptional talent suddenly vanished, yet his soul lamp continued to burn fiercely.

Perhaps he was just trapped somewhere.

The thought of Li Ye possibly isolated, trembling in fear, pitifully waiting for rescue, left Su Xing’s heart trembling.

He stood within the Divine Hall.

Couldn’t help but urge, "Ancestor, please hurry!"

From afar, that towering tree, its branches and leaves shading countless worlds, emitted a helpless sound: "I cannot use true immortal power; already searched 326,212 worlds. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

I haven’t sensed his shadow.

Beyond that are the Medium Thousand, Great Thousand, and even Chaotic realms, you must give me more time.

If you push further, I’ll throw you out!"

After being chastised by Jianmu, Su Xing no longer urged but still paced restlessly back and forth.

He walked to the point where even Mo Qi couldn’t stand it.

He slapped him hard on the shoulder, forcibly pinning him down:

"Ye’Er, a fortuitous person like him has divine luck, what are you worrying about?"

"Moreover, worrying here won’t help, just sit tight!"

After being reprimanded consecutively by Jianmu and his own partner, Su Xing wilted, found a place to sit begrudgingly, and sighed:

"If he doesn’t return soon, guess what those three Deities might do?"

Chaos, Iceflower Plum Deity, and Blackmoon seem to already know about Li Ye’s disappearance, and they’re injecting their powers into this world in their own ways, likely about to stir up something significant soon.
