The earth stretched boundlessly, its mountains, rivers, valleys, plains, oceans, and countless other landforms constantly shifting and changing. In the eyes of mortals, this was a vast land sculpted by divine craftsmanship.
But in reality, these were merely the terrain and landforms randomly generated as the 9,999 Law Veins traveled through the earth.
Every day, these Law Veins extended farther into the distance while constantly changing themselves as well. However, those changes were extremely gradual, because they were merely minute adjustments and optimizations at the level of detail.
That legendary transformation of the sea into mulberry fields was, in truth, nothing more than a perfectly ordinary minute adjustment and optimization of the Law Veins.
These Law Veins continuously diluted the Cosmic Law into the Immortal-Demonic Law, then further diluted it into the spiritual energy needed for mortals and low-level cultivators to survive, grow, and evolve.
At the same time, these Law Veins were constantly recycling spiritual energy: decaying plants, the corpses of animals, the corpses of humans, and so on. Even the cycle of the four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—was itself a system for circulating spiritual energy.
Such a cycle could not make one rich overnight, because by normal calculations, each cycle would yield at most around a ten-percent increase in recycled spiritual energy.
But it was a business that lasted as long as heaven and earth.
At that moment, deep beneath the earth, a Law Vein hidden even deeper and shrouded in greater mystery was winding its way around. It was like a shadow, omnipresent as it seeped into every other Law Vein.
This was the Ancient Law Vein unique to Zhang Yang's reincarnated body.
The Ancient Law within it would neither grow automatically nor could it be made to grow, but this thing was the best switch
