At the furthest reaches his sight, even to the limit of his Divine Sense, there were rows of towering banana trees, each laden with banana bunches so yellow they were nearly golden.

[Name]: Jade Banana Grass

[Mood]: None

[Status]: Jade Banana Grass cultivated through cuttings, originating from the same mother plant.

[Can Bind]: Any Spirit Beast related to the Demon Path, results vary depending on the beast.

Li Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.

Demon Path Spirit Beast?

He gazed at the vast array of jade bananas growing on the pristine jade stone ground. With such immaculate appearance, they didn't seem to relate to Demon Path Spirit Beasts at all.

But Demon Path... does the Blood Spirit Whale count as part of the Demon Path?

He pondered habitually until, suddenly, a woman with wings behind her walked over, bringing him back to reality. He glanced at her.

Another member of the Golden Sand Race.

Though this woman was quite a bit more beautiful, embodying a kind of remarkable beauty with an aura of prosperity and peace.

Coupled with the wings she kept folded, and the vibrant without being ostentatious palace garb along with her floating ribbons, she would surely be mistaken for an Immortal God upon descending to the Mortal World.

"Senior brother."

This exceptionally pretty woman's cultivation was only at the Qi Refining level.

She respectfully saluted Li Ye and then said, "The True Man has already issued the decree, over the next month you will take over the Celestial Phenomena Grand Array of the Eastern Domain Marketplace.

Please follow me."

Gesturing invitingly as she spoke.

Naturally, Li Ye wouldn't make things difficult for a common disciple, so he walked ahead, asking curiously as he went: "Why is there so much Jade Banana Grass here?"

Hurriedly, the woman replied: "These are specially permitted by the True Man, cultivated here as our food source.

On our Golden Sand Island, these Jade Banana Grass plants are grown across the island, and they are our primary food source."

She wasn't blind either, having been here long enough to pick up on cues; she promptly plucked a bunch of jade bananas and handed them to Li Ye.

With some self-assuredness and a smile on her face: "Senior brother, try them, our Golden Sand Race grows particularly delicious jade bananas!"

Li Ye did not refuse, observing this single jade banana to be as thick as his elbow, he plucked one, storing away the rest.

And when he peeled and tasted it.

It had a very unique flavor, carrying hints of creamy and honeyed sweetness, with a smooth texture.

Even Li Ye, who had tasted countless delicacies, found the flavor astounding.

This was truly delightful, he devoured the jade banana as thick as his elbow in just a few bites.

After eating, before he could speak, the woman beside him said: "If Senior Brother likes the jade bananas, I'll bring you some Jade Banana Grass later."

"No rush," Li Ye replied, "Once I've completed the task given by the True Man, I'd like to visit Golden Sand Island. Then I'll trouble Junior Sister to guide me.

What's your name, Junior Sister?"

He glanced at the woman.

The woman's face blossomed with a hint of joy.

Strictly speaking, she was merely responsible for leading the way, whether Li Ye remembered her name shouldn't matter, but now that Li Ye asked, it meant he had taken note of her.

Even a simple act of remembering a name could bring untold benefits to her future.

This was a senior brother from the inner sect, moreover, a disciple of a Nascent Soul True Man, someone who might one day say a word that could prevent her from taking many detours.

She solemnly replied: "Junior Sister's name is Ye Juan."

That really is quite a simple name.

He thought she might have the surname Jiang.

Li Ye nodded:

"Junior Sister Ye Juan, once things are settled here, I'll trouble you to take me to Golden Sand Island."

"Seeing that Uncle has sent you here to guard, it must be because he trusts you."

After saying this, he gestured for her to proceed with the proper business.

Almost forgetting in his haste to return home that there were so many Spirit Plants and Beasts here yet unseen, some of which might be worth bringing home.

...

Very quickly.

Li Ye arrived at one of the jade lotus platforms within the Celestial Phenomena Grand Array and sat down.

—This was a magnificent array, occupying an immeasurable amount of land, and all he knew was that everything before him appeared through the haze as Cloud Patterns and jade walls.

Each line is as magnificent as mountain ranges. Billions of Spiritual Light flowed above, and one could vaguely perceive myriad wondrous landscapes from various places.

Just for instance, he could even see scenery from Huiya Marketplace, suggesting this array enveloped that area too.

Even in just a glance, the grandeur and magnificence of this enormous array astonished him.

However, the area available to him now merely represented a small section of the Eastern Domain Marketplace by the East Pole Yang Sea, other places require orders from Nascent Soul True Man guardians of various regions to enter.

According to Junior Sister Ye Juan, the warm currents brought by the East Pole Yang Sea were directed throughout the Eastern Domain via this Grand Array, then organized by stationed cultivators, ultimately manifesting as wind and rain.

"The cultivation requirement for the cultivator is not high, but a deep perception of nature is necessary?"

Li Ye took a deep breath, closing his eyes gradually.

As his Divine Sense concentrated into the surrounding Array Pattern, the radiant brilliance clasped his consciousness, directly driving it into the vast mist.

He could distinctly "see" the marketplace of the Four Seasons Sect by the seaside, also discerning the pearl-like island chain within the sea.

His breath intermingled with the cloud mist, within a single thought, he could control the rainfall to fall.

Indeed, he now possessed the authorization of "Cloud Formation" and "Rainfall".

Other permissions like controlling the sun and moonlight, manipulating Spiritual Qi surges, summoning snow, or altering the temperature and humidity here were all unusable.

Yet this was enough to astonish him.

He couldn't help swallowing.

Could it be that the Celestial Sound Thunder God's thunder burst witnessed at the Zhou Family was enacted through this array?

He dared not overthink.

Spreading his Divine Sense as widely as possible, feeling the changes in Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, sensing the vague "thoughts" transmitted by Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants dwelling on land islands and within the sea.

This was already a routine procedure he was familiar with, reinforced while in the Cave Mansion using the Spiritual Mechanism Vine to enhance his Perception Ability.

Once he believed rain "should" fall, he'd unhesitatingly start gathering clouds, drizzling threads of rain from the white clouds.

Thanks to his precise control, when these droplets descend upon every region, it's controlled as perfectly as possible, neither too many nor too few, maintaining a median value.

Yet he knew the weather by the seaside would change abruptly, hence sometimes he would cause an unexpected gentle rain shower.

This abrupt rainfall not only didn't annoy the Spirit Plants and Beasts living in the Eastern Domain Marketplace, but even the people found it quite comfortable.

—Previously, rain would fall in strict quotas, and truth be told, it felt somewhat lifelessly regimented, leading them to sense an odd feeling of being manipulated.

Yet now, a sudden shower could be followed by sunny skies, soon thereafter clouds might gather densely again; this unpredictable sensation unexpectedly made them feel much more comfortable.

The air throughout the Four Seasons Marketplace seemed to become significantly more humid, not by sea breezes but by Spiritual Qi's moisture.

Li Ye indulgently enjoyed playing with immersive rainfall over here, while elsewhere, the Nascent Soul True Man sat in the pavilion, thoughtfully observing the ever-changing Heavenly Dome.

"Could it be, gentle and moderate weather isn't necessarily a good thing after all."

She muttered to herself, turning to the nearby cultivator, asking: "What's your opinion on this matter?"

The slightly chubby cultivator next to her was the former Golden Core cultivator responsible for Cloud Formation and Rainfall. He initially thought, with the help of his nephew, he could finally relax and take a breather.

But now, he really couldn't sit still.

He desperately wanted to ask Nephew Li how he accomplished this. In just a brief span, certain miraculous changes had occurred within the marketplace.

Additionally, comprehending certain magics seemed to progress more smoothly.

"Perhaps our previous notion of strictly measured rainfall was mistaken."

The slightly chubby Golden Core True Man cupped his hands towards his master: "Master, could Nephew Li be persuaded to stay here a bit longer? I wish to consult him on how he's able to rain so spiritually."

He truly couldn't grasp why Li Ye's capricious rainfall could yield such results; he'd attempted it before, but the outcome was grumbling and dissatisfaction, forcing him to prudently resume following the rules.

Could the disparity really be this vast?
