CHAPTER 344: CHAPTER 216: THE TRAPPED PATRIARCH, PLANE-GUIDING ARRAY

They watched that flower blossom on the land of the Eastern Domain.

The illusion of a Jianmu stretched from earth to sky.

No one dared to move.

After all, everyone has such an urgent moment, and if one acts rashly now, meeting later could only lead to endless conflict.

Overlord-level sects are at war.

Unimaginable.

Even if someone wanted to go mad, there would be someone to "calm" him down.

Time slowly passed.

After less than half a two-hour period.

The previously clear sky of the Eastern Domain suddenly revealed a spherical ball.

The sphere was enveloped by the Power of Space from Jianmu, seemingly small, but inside actually contained a whole world!

You could clearly see that inside the sphere, some giant members of the Ant Race were moving about unawares, seemingly completely oblivious that their world had been drawn over by Jianmu and the Four Seasons Sect’s array.

There was no earth-shattering sound, nor any Spiritual Light flashing. The illusion of Jianmu simply devoured this Ant Race’s world, and the Spiritual Lights surrounding the Eastern Domain slowly dissipated.

As if nothing had happened.

Cultivators knew that the bigger the scene, the better it is executed, but to pull a world over as lightly as this, any major force knows the difficulty of such a task.

And... the resources it consumes.

What exactly matters enough for the Four Seasons Sect to do this?

...

Inside Four Seasons Sect.

On the illusion of Jianmu, a small gray-green fruit appeared, surrounded by figures that were constantly changing, marking the details of the entire world’s circumstances.

Those rich mineral resources did not belong to the Ant Race in this world and were unimportant.

Several Deities were scanning the world using their powers, looking to find Earth Book fragments within, and most importantly, locate that True Man Miao Du who was trapped here.

But the result was unexpected.

Quickly found, and not only that, successfully awakened True Man Miao Du.

"This place has beliefs regarding God."

"Those ants did not realize that their painstakingly built nests were altars helping Deities gather their incarnations."

"And the Divine Sense within the altar was transformed into the Earth Immortal True Man Miao Du!"

The Sect Leader personally reviewed all the internal data and gave the conclusion.

Simply put, True Man Miao Du, after encountering an unexpected disaster, transformed her body and Divine Soul into the "Deity" of the Ant Race here, allowing the ants to nourish her to ensure her Divine Soul remained intact, so she might be reborn in the future.

—It started like this.

Later, once True Man Miao Du received nourishment, she focused on cultivating the Ant Race, then released a part of Earth Book’s inheritance. If Four Seasons Sect’s cultivators truly found it, they would surely come.

But to avoid being discovered by enemies of the Four Seasons Sect, she set it such that only Inner Sect disciples of the Four Seasons Sect could perceive the information she left.

Li Ye happened to discover it.

"How fitting to say she is our sect’s True Man, isn’t it."

The Sect Leader sighed helplessly, "I thought she was trapped here and couldn’t leave, but she was actually conducting an experiment. Miao Du Elder, what exactly were you thinking?"

A clean and elegant female voice emanated from the distance within Jianmu’s illusion, carrying gentle divinity and maternity, softly saying:

"Enlightenment, well."

"I accidentally found that these ants have quite good comprehension, so I deliberately stayed here intending to educate them, to see how far these creatures could go."

"However, you are mistaken about one thing."

The figure of True Man Miao Du stepped out from Jianmu, wearing extremely complex attire like those depicted in the divine illustrations drawn by the best painters over centuries.

She walked gracefully to Li Ye’s front.

Softly said:

"Back in the day, I had the fortune to learn from Taoist Qingfeng at Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, and it was the sect’s founder who gave me the seal.

Sadly, I was ultimately too shallow to receive guidance from the true Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Immortal Zhenyuan, leaving troubles behind.

Immortal Zhenyuan’s Earth Immortal Path was passed down to the two Taoists, Qingfeng and Ming Yue.

Taoist Qingfeng once said that my Earth Immortal Path was not perfect, and in the future, I shall surely face a challenge of enlightenment. Without help from a benefactor, I am likely to be trapped forever."

Upon hearing this, Li Ye already knew what True Man Miao Du meant to say, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Disciple here cannot possibly bear the title of benefactor, everyone in our sect unites heart and soul, no matter what, this is the duty I must fulfill."

"You see." True Man Miao Du chuckled: "That is a lack of self-esteem, isn’t it? Several Deity ancestors have already told me that the Bamboo Wood Ant indeed originated from your side.

Later, it was you who obtained the Earth Book fragments from Ant C.

You might think it’s inevitable for our sect to eventually uncover the truth of this place, but I think otherwise.

World affairs are unpredictable in an instant.

If you are late by a step, you might miss the opportunity."

She looked up to the observing Nascent Souls and Deities of this place, precisely locating True Man Su Xing among them.

"Yo."

"So it’s you, child."

"I even held you when you were little."

Upon hearing this, True Man Su Xing almost blacked out, hastily clasping his hands to plead: "Good Elder, please spare me, why not talk about others? Like Sect Leader Senior Brother?"

The True Man Miao Du who had been missing for three thousand years had actually held the Master?

Li Ye was puzzled as he heard this.

True Man Miao Du spoke calmly: "I see that Li Ye is fated with me, I want to pass this new Earth Book Skill to him, what do you all think, who agrees and who opposes?

Should we invite our Upper Realm senior brothers and sisters to witness?"

The many Nascent Soul True Men moved their Divine Senses aside.

The Deities quietly looked up to the heavens.

Finally, only the Sect Leader rather helplessly said: "The technique is passed to those who are destined; Li Ye is already one of our sect’s fine disciples.

Miao Du Elder, are you worried anyone would disagree?

Why bother asking the Upper Realm’s uncles and aunts for a judgment."

Hearing this, True Man Miao Du satisfactorily nodded and smiled: "Just teasing you, though it’s unclear how such a sly child like you became the Sect Leader, isn’t it supposed to be a role for the honest ones?

Forget it, forget it.

When I pass this skill to Ye, then you can randomly send me to the Outer Domain, my Divine Soul will seek more worlds for reincarnation.

My path of enlightenment and exploration is far from over.

This is the only thing I can do for our Four Seasons Sect, may the Star Sea be vast, and the Four Seasons forever endure."

When she said this, her tone was decisive, leaving no room for discussion.

Others sighed, having no choice.

Then she lowered her head, suddenly extending a hand to hold Li Ye’s cheeks, strands of coolness, along with the complete Earth Book Skill she researched, flowed into Li Ye’s Divine Soul.

This immense knowledge caused Li Ye to fall into a brief coma.

After that, True Man Miao Du looked towards Su Xing: "The thriving Qi Fortune of this child on him is the most remarkable I’ve seen in my life, even surpassing that of several uncles and aunts.

And currently, he’s only at the Golden Core stage.

Fearful that the karma of your lineage will fall upon him in the future.

Mediation Creation... heh.

Whenever you need me, let this child seek me, though the Outer Domain Star Sea is vast, he will surely find me."

Upon finishing, she waved her hand with flair, her Divine Soul transforming into a star, carried by Jianmu’s power towards the outer domain.

True Man Miao Du, who just returned for less than a two-hour period, departed once more.

The complex emotions of various Nascent Souls and Deities even affected the stability here, causing sudden lightning and dense dark clouds.

They also wished to leave.

Since beginning the path to immortality, they have been under the sect’s care. If they cannot truly spread the branches and leaves of the sect, what right do they have to call themselves disciples of the Four Seasons Sect?

Helplessly they must remain.

The Sect Leader sensed the surrounding situation but said nothing.

He looked at the still sleeping Li Ye, as if witnessing a gem already shining brightly.

A Divine Technique sought by True Man Miao Du from the Earth Immortal.

The true teachings of Taoist Qingfeng from Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain!

And more suited to another path of the Earth Emotion Technique after True Man Miao Du’s experiment!

Alas.

How could he possibly persuade Li Ye to accept more disciples?
