On the third day after leaving the Frozen Plains, Jiang Yun arrived at the Western Region Hurricane Plains, riding on the clouds.
Before he even landed, the raging Astral Wind tore at his robes, making them flutter loudly. Looking around, gray-white wind blades wove a net between heaven and earth, carving countless ravines into the exposed rock layers.
"Gongming Brother Gongming certainly knows how to pick a place," Jiang Yun chuckled, a Sound Transmission Talisman flying out from his sleeve.
After a moment, a flash of light appeared, and the raging Astral Wind suddenly parted gently to both sides. It was Zhao Gongming who used the Jieyin Imprint to drive away the Astral Wind surrounding the Spirit Land and open up a passage into the formation.
In the center of the plain stand twelve Tongtian Wind Pillars, their tops curving inwards to form Yurt -like structure. Each pillar contains a Spiritual Treasure Wind Pearl, positioned in one of the twelve palaces, collectively maintaining the "Wind Calming Great Formation" that covers a thousand miles.
The pavilions and towers within the formation are arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner, and are actually built of Wind Azure Stone, which reflects a sky-like azure brilliance under the sunlight.
"Senior Brother!" Zhao Gongming's voice came from within the formation. This Daoist, who was Congenital Wind Spirit Incarnation Qingfeng. "I was discussing the selection of the hall Hall Master for the various halls of the Office with the Western Sea Dragon Palace. Your arrival is timely."
"The Office hasn't been set up yet? You're a bit behind schedule! Your three junior sisters have already finished building the Star Gate." Jiang Yun was a little surprised by Zhao Gongming's words and casually teased him.
Jiang Yun followed him to the Luofu Palace Conference Hall at the heart of the formation, where Three Dragon Clan Generals were arguing incessantly with Three Star Lords from the Star Academy.
Seeing this, Jiang Yun seemed thoughtful, and some guesses formed in his mind.
Seeing that these people were still arguing even the Two they entered the Conference Hall, completely disregarding them, he couldn't help but release a bit of his Great Luo aura.
Sensing the overwhelming pressure from the Great Luo, the leading Horned Dragon belatedly realized what was happening, and the others were also stunned by this aura, instantly falling silent.
The Horned Dragon's horns trembled slightly. Upon seeing Jiang Yun, he seemed somewhat familiar, and his tone immediately became more respectful. "I presume this is Dao Master Jiang Yun? Our Dragon King often speaks of you..."
"How have you been lately, Fellow Ao Qin?" Jiang Yun nodded slightly to confirm his words, and then greeted the West Sea Dragon King.
"Everything is fine in the West Sea. Recently, the Dragon King heard that the construction of the Spirit Land has begun, so he sent a few of us with many people to help." The Horned Dragon looked harmless and said honestly.
If I hadn't just seen them arguing so heatedly, I might have thought they were quite easy to talk to.
"Well, then I must thank Fellow Ao Qin for his selfless dedication." Jiang Yun gave a Yin-Yang thank you, then his expression turned serious:
The person in charge here is my junior brother, Zhao Gongming. Now that you're all here, you should obediently follow his orders.
As he spoke, his eyes then turned to the Three Star Lords beside him. "The same goes for you three. Since Martial Aunt Ziwei has summoned the three of you here, then make the most of this opportunity and don't cause me any trouble."
"During the construction of the Spirit Land Node in the Western Region, there will be plenty of opportunities to accumulate Merit and Fortune. Ordinary people don't even have the chance to join. Since you are fortunate enough to be here, you should do your jobs well. Anyone who is disobedient or negligent will be sent back. Don't lose face."
The people of the West Sea clearly lacked the self-awareness of those of the North Sea, and the attitude of the West Sea Dragon King was probably somewhat problematic. Afterwards, Jiang Yun visited the Western Sea Dragon Palace and had a deep and friendly face-to-face exchange with the Dragon King Ao Qin, with a pleasing result.
After returning to the Hurricane Plains and remaining there for over a hundred years, Jiang Yun prepared to take his leave once the Star Dipper Formation and Star Gate were completed, and continued his inspection of a Spirit Land.
Before leaving, he handed a scale covered with Star Rune to Zhao Gongming: "This is Communication Scale from the Western Sea Dragon Palace. If you encounter any trouble from the Dragon Clan members, you can use this to communicate directly with the Dragon King. I have already made an agreement with Ao Qin."
The Lava Rift Valley in the Southern Region resembles a wound on the earth, with crimson magma surging between the ravines.
As Jiang Yun approached, he heard Maitreya's signature laugh, "Hahaha... This is how you subdue the Earth Fire Essence!"
The fat Daoist priest sat on Golden Cymbals, directing dozens of cultivators to form the "Eight Treasures Merit Formation." Inside the formation were three enraged Fire Spirits, which became as docile as puppies when illuminated by the Buddha Light's light.
Upon seeing Jiang Yun arrive, Maitreya wiped his sweat and laughed, "Senior brother, what do you think of my Fire Spirits Miners? They can transport Earth Vein Flame Crystal ten times faster than human power."
Jiang Yun noticed, however, that the Star Power at the edge of the rift was unusually weak.
Upon inquiry, it was learned that the Star Official Winged Fire Snake and Mouth Fire Monkey, had been injured by the Primordial Poison Flame that suddenly erupted from the ground, with only the Empty Sun Rat escaping unscathed.
"This flame can corrupt the Star Power..." Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, then suddenly thrust his fingers into the magma like a sword.
The Great Luo's Magical Power transformed into a golden bridge leading directly to the Earth's Core, pulling out a Crimson Strange Stone rock riddled with holes. "So it was the Fire Plague Stone causing this trouble."
A phantom of the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation appeared in his palm, drawing upon the power of the Moon Star to envelop the strange rock layer by layer, refining it into seven Treasure Pearls which he distributed to the people, saying, "Wearing this item can ward off all kinds of fire."
He then took a few drops of the Three Lights Divine Water to help the Winged Fire Serpent and the Mouth Fire Monkey recover from their injuries, leaving the rest for them as well.
Considering the unique geographical conditions of this place, its proximity to the Southern Fire Domain, and the abundance of Earth Fire, a trace of Southern Bright Departing Fire Seed was left for each of them, allowing them to freely enter and exit the underground lava.
However, to speed up the construction here, we still need the help of races familiar with this fiery environment!
He didn't linger long afterward, quickly helping them establish a stronghold within a thousand miles of the central area of Spirit Land. After setting up Great Formation and Star Gate as their base for development and expansion, he rushed to the next location.
The desolation of the Southern Gobi Desert exceeded Jiang Yun's expectations.
The scorching sun baked the sand dunes, creating distorted waves of heat. Even the spiritual energy contained waves of scorching dryness, as if it wanted to devour every inch of moisture. The occasional oasis was as small as a fragment of jade.
"It seems that governing this place will require a lot of manpower and resources; it won't be an easy task!" Jiang Yun thought to himself.
Ksitigarbha led a group of people to build a vast and magnificent Underground Palace in the Gobi Desert. While other places develop upwards, this place chose to develop downwards to avoid the scorching heat of the surface and also to take into account the environmental factors of the Gobi Desert. This is a unique characteristic of the place.
"I just came from inspecting Maitreya's place, and seeing their situation, I guessed things probably wouldn't go well for you either." Upon seeing Ksitigarbha disheveled Ksitigarbha, Jiang Yun shook his head slightly and said with some emotion.
The southern region of the Western Land is close to the Primordial World Southern Volcano, where the subterranean Earth Fire is too intense to be reversed by mere human effort, unless the Immortal Volcano at its source can be altered. However, this is wishful thinking; the existence of certain special regions always has its reasons.
