Subtle Shifts in the Tide, Dao Rhyme Cleverly Transforms Heaven and Earth's Mechanisms

After the Primordial Life Pearl had steadily nourished the ecosystem for half a year, the Hongmeng Great Land welcomed a long-awaited spiritual energy tide. This was originally a normal part of the natural cycle of Heaven and Earth's spiritual energy, occurring once every hundred years. It replenished the land's spiritual energy and nourished all living beings, making it a blessing eagerly awaited by cultivators and creatures alike. Yet this spiritual energy tide was abnormal—the concentration of spiritual energy far exceeded that of the past, and it carried a restless force rather than its usual gentle tranquility.

At first, the living beings were still immersed in the joy of abundant spiritual energy. Cultivators seized the time to enter seclusion, their cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds; spiritual herbs and trees crazily absorbed the energy, their growth accelerating dramatically; even the strange beasts rapidly grew stronger. But before long, the abnormalities began to show. In the Northern Territory, spiritual trees absorbed too much restless spiritual energy, their branches and trunks growing wildly until they breached the windbreak forests and squeezed the space where spirit grain grew. In the Southern Territory, after taking in excessive spiritual energy, some spiritual herbs mutated, their leaves hardening and growing thorns, losing their medicinal value. At Black Stone Mountain in the western region, the mine veins developed numerous cracks beneath the impact of the restless energy, and the quality of the Starlight Spirit Mine declined. On Starfall Plain in the Eastern Territory, the spirit beings absorbed too much restless spiritual energy, making their power unstable and even throwing their consciousnesses into disarray. Worse still, the flow of spiritual energy within the Central Spiritual Vein was affected as well, speeding up and slowing down without warning, placing immense pressure on the ecological balance across the land.
