Chapter 862 - 482: Demonic Qi Drifts Everywhere

Chapter 862: Chapter 482: Demonic Qi Drifts Everywhere

"You really know how to give me trouble."

Li Ye was practically at a loss, alternating between laughing and crying.

No wonder they said only he could solve this. Wasn’t it because only he was skilled with the Emotion Song, and additionally practiced the Dao Heart Demon Seed method?

The Dao Heart Demon Seed is a very interesting method.

The stronger the Dao, the stronger the demon.

The two can almost be said to grow together, so this method is extremely powerful, but few dare to practice it or are qualified to do so.

Honestly speaking.

He hadn’t really used his Demon Path powers much.

Truth be told, this power... well, it didn’t quite match his celestial demeanor. Who among decent folks would be shrouded in black wind all the time? One look and you know it’s not something orthodox.

But given the circumstances.

He has to try to mobilize it.

"Come on."

Strands of black-blue demonic qi surged from his dantian, taking over his entire spiritual power circulation in an almost domineering manner, very smoothly.

As if it should be so.

Demonic qi swirled around him.

In that incredibly pure demonic qi was the sound of music, extremely pleasant and ethereal, as if from the Supreme Celestial Palace. Any being below the mid-stage Nascent Soul would be instantly drawn in upon sensing just a little.

It was even more tempting than the Emotion Song.

Or perhaps, it was the very "demonization" of the Emotion Song.

Li Ye’s cultivation path could be said to be smooth and unobstructed; every technique he practiced was a powerful divine technique, yet difficult to cultivate, but closer in essence to the Dao.

He wouldn’t be overly concerned with the cultivator’s own spiritual power attributes.

In other words.

Anything that spiritual power can achieve, demonic qi can achieve as well.

The branches belonging to the Emotion Song gently yet firmly wrapped around that peach tree, emitting demonic qi with a soothing and confusing effect so strong.

Even the peach tree had no intention of resisting.

Just allowing the Emotion Song to entwine itself. Allowing the Emotion Song to start draining its power.

The demonic qi of the peach tree and the runes within it were continuously extracted, in extremely large quantities, as if trying to channel the entire ocean through a tube.

Even more surprisingly, the peach tree under such pressing treatment actively tightened around the Emotion Song!

Indeed.

Its branches rapidly grew.

Actively like a loving spiritual snake entwined around the Emotion Song, starting to tighten.

"..."

"Huh?"

"Ugh..."

Li Ye, Peach Blossom, and Jianmu, all watching attentively, fell into silence.

Even the experienced Jianmu didn’t know what was going on.

After all, no one had used the Emotion Song while cultivating with demonic qi before; he didn’t know that the demonized Emotion Song could be so terrifying.

Even he felt a strange agitation—

It seemed quite comfortable.

If one could be wrapped by the branches of the Emotion Song...

This eerie thought rose in his mind, and he expended great effort to suppress it.

"You just continue." Peach Blossom felt something off as well, but she... also felt a bit of strange pleasure, the sensation from being drained of demonic qi and wrapped up, hard to resist.

Both elders tacitly fell into silence.

Even called over the Celestial Age Ginkgo.

To have her record what was happening at this moment.

Li Ye found their actions quite baffling, but he had no intention of stopping—this sensation was something he hadn’t experienced before; he had never used demonic qi like this.

He was also very much looking forward to what would happen next.

The branches of the Emotion Song extended longer and longer, its music growing louder and louder, like countless Immortal Fairies dancing and singing.

Finally.

Li Ye noticed something amiss.

"I can’t!"

"I’m losing control."

His expression changed dramatically.

This was his own power. Though it had turned into demonic qi, it was still his power, yet now it’s out of control.

Jianmu felt a sudden gloom.

His heart felt as if a hefty stone had dropped.

Li Ye was losing control... demonic qi was losing control.

Wouldn’t that mean Li Ye’s Dao heart would fall into the Demon Path?

The thought of such a possibility made his thousand-year-old calm mind quiver, ready to act, but Peach Blossom stopped him.

"Don’t rush."

"Brother, I know what’s happening."

"Why?" Jianmu’s power paused for a moment, and he said seriously, "You know how important Li Ye is. If anything happens to him, neither you nor I can bear the consequences!"

"I know."

Peach Blossom insisted.

"Don’t worry, nothing will happen. I still have a pill from Doushuai Temple."

These words calmed Jianmu’s heart somewhat.

But his power remained ready to respond to unexpected situations, while communicating reassurance to Li Ye to ensure his mindset remained unchanged.

At this moment, Li Ye’s power had already torn apart Peach Blossom’s small Spirit Domain.

It had broken free from the confines of this area.

With an unstoppable trend, the branches grew quickly and wildly, directly wrapping around the peach tree outside, which separated the two worlds.

Emitting lofty and ethereal music, it traveled up the sturdy peach branches and eventually fully entwined the entire peach tree.

Pink clouds filled the sky as the peach blossoms were stained with a layer of black-blue, and as the petals fell, they played like zither strings and breezed like flutes, drifting towards the entire Inverted Heaven.

Everyone saw this scene.

Stunned and speechless.

What was that?

The peach tree was polluted by demonic qi?!

The leisurely sect leader also saw this scene, suddenly clutching his chest, taking several deep breaths to finally calm down.

Anger truly stirred within him for the first time in a thousand years.

Did Li Ye know what he was doing at all?

Did those elders know what they were doing?

The Dao Heart Demon Seed is Taoism’s great divine technique.

But the problem is, such great divine techniques cannot be widely spread; the higher-ups knowing you’ve learned it is enough. If the lower-level cultivators knew that the True Man Lingye they worship emits demonic qi...

The poor sect leader suddenly felt that not retiring immediately was his biggest mistake in this life and the next, in life upon life, era upon era!

But even in his rage, he quickly calmed down.

There’s no other way for this matter.

He could only find a way to cover it up.

"Sky Curtain."

He extended his hand, just about to use his divine technique to cover up, yet he was shocked on the spot—

Li Ye’s Emotion Song, the demonized Emotion Song, as peach flower petals fell, had already covered the entire Inverted Heaven, rooting and sprouting upon landing.

One by one, blue-black peach trees uprooted from the ground.

"..."

How could he possibly cover it up!

Once more clutching his chest, he felt he couldn’t control this child; better let his master handle it.

Yet the words stalled at his lips.

He then noticed a star twinkling above his head.

That starlight was very familiar to him.

It was the brilliance of Ancestor Su Xing, who for countless spring seasons had watched over the Four Seasons Sect he and his friends had created.

Which meant his elder was watching?

Could it be,

this is a good thing?
