Chapter 106: Chapter 103: The Light of the Panel, the Omnipotent Void Nether Grass
Speaking of light, Li Ye’s first reaction was naturally sunlight.
The sun’s light nourishes all things, so maybe it could be used as the first ray of light in his inner world, right?
——But as soon as doubt arose, he knew that sunlight was definitely not the best choice.
Jianmu, after all, symbolized his "true self."
If his true self was in doubt, how could he use sunlight?
So what other light could there be?
Five Elements Light, starlight, moonlight, Buddha’s Light...
Finally, he suddenly remembered something very important—his panel, the outline shimmering with multicolored light.
He focused inwardly, staring at the Jianmu sapling within his Dantian.
Sure enough, the panel appeared as usual:
[Name]: Jianmu·Li Ye
[Mood]: Doubtful, Probing.
[Status]: Newly sprouted bud, lacking necessary "light", exploring, absorbing light from the panel...
[Bindable]: ?
"Since you’re inside my body, can I control you? Or should I say, will you accept my control?"
He repeatedly chanted in his mind:
"Come light, come light, come light..."
Whether it was really his chanting that worked or just a psychological effect, he seemed to really see the flow of light on his panel pause for a moment.
No, it’s really effective.
Because he felt that the originally abundant Vital Essence in his body rapidly dissolved, eventually hitting zero.
"Drip."
At this moment, from the edge of the panel, an extremely tiny droplet of light fell into the Jianmu.
A crisp and shocking sound resounded, marking the first ray of light and the first sound in the small world of Jianmu.
In that instant, the originally pitch-black small world inside Jianmu was filled with brightness.
On the heavenly dome of the small world, a faint five-colored light seemed embedded, shining brightly. It gradually faded, yet brought a gentle light to the entire world.
The light and the water waves inside Jianmu reflected each other, as if merging into one.
"It really worked."
Li Ye looked at the panel. In the line marked "Bindable," the question mark had disappeared, replaced by the words "Bound."
It continued to flash quietly.
In Li Ye’s puzzled and astonished gaze, it eternally shimmered.
"What exactly is going on here?"
He truly didn’t understand. This Golden Finger unexpectedly responded to him, consuming all the Vital Essence, and gave a drop of its light.
Could this be some kind of Magical Treasure? Or a kind of Divine Technique?
What puzzled him even more was that the light, while illuminating the little world of Jianmu filled with the Water of Life, did not bring any change.
According to what he thought, given that this panel was so mystical, it should have some effect on the world of Jianmu.
But the result was just providing illumination, nothing more.
No matter how hard he racked his brains or scanned with his Divine Sense, he couldn’t understand it.
Ultimately, he could only give up.
"Enough."
"Maybe when my Cultivation is a bit higher it will make sense."
He then turned to study the gains Jianmu’s sprouting brought him.
First was the enhancement in Cultivation and Divine Sense. He had already surpassed the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Second Layer, entering the 4th Layer, and his Divine Sense more than doubled.
Next, all his currently learned Divine Techniques and Magic were imprinted on Jianmu’s branches.
It was like when casting Magic, he could use Jianmu’s Spiritual Power instead of his own.
As long as Jianmu’s Spiritual Power was not exhausted and he could control it with his Divine Sense, it was basically akin to Infinite Magic.
And the Spiritual Qi inside Jianmu was unimaginably abundant.
No matter how much Spiritual Power he absorbed, it could be sent into Jianmu for storage.
There was also...
He opened his palm, and a small water sphere floated above it. The water sphere had no color but gave off a very transparent and bright, resplendent feeling.
"Water of Life."
He looked at the water sphere for a while, then casually waved his hand.
"Whoosh~"
The water sphere immediately fell upon a Spirit Water Phoenix Eye Lotus in the courtyard.
The Phoenix Eye Lotus grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, with its stalks and leaves becoming thicker, and the Water Gourd also enlarged.
The fish in the pond were so surprised they almost jumped onto the shore.
In just a few breaths, it was like it had grown for ten years.
"Ripening, here it comes, not bad."
This is the Divine Technique Jianmu brought to Li Ye: Life and Shade.
The Life Spirit Water nurtured inside Jianmu’s small world has the effect of ripening and catalyzing the growth of Spirit Plants.
But the cost is that it consumes Jianmu’s vitality to condense such Life Spirit Water, and after the Spirit Plants grow wildly, he also needs to help adjust them.
Finally, there’s the Jianmu small world itself.
It seems like there are basic rules within this world, and if Li Ye wanted to put something into it now, it’s entirely possible, even farming inside it.
But it has just been born and is still unstable, needing a lot of Spiritual Power and Merit to nourish it, so it can transform from a sprout into a seedling, at which point it will surely undergo tremendous changes.
Which means that farming is definitely not doable now, but the Lifebound Magical Artifact can be put inside to be nourished.
He directly threw the Sun and Moon Ring into it.
"So the main task now is to acquire Merit."
"The Qingsui Silkworm turned into the Life Ink Silkworm could only be considered a mutant, not a new species.
I must obtain more species not recorded by the sect to exchange for Merit..."
Li Ye felt his mind clearer than ever before.
He pondered for a while, then went to the Four Seasons Jade Pendant in the Cave Mansion to search for a suitable spatial attribute Spirit Grass that could coexist and bind with the Life Ink Silkworm.
Spatial attribute Spirit Grass is, of course, very precious.
