A Moving Reunion Between Jieyin and Zhunti
Western Continent, western part!
After their conversation, Houtu and Donghua fell silent and began to work on the Earth Vein. Time continued in a loop, repeating itself over and over.
Meanwhile, far to the east, at Buzhou Mountain, figures were moving about.
Pangu Hall, eleven Ancestor Witch sat together in the main hall.
Zhu Jiuyin asked, "Elder brother, are you really going to make a move without waiting for your younger sister?"
Dijiang sat upright on the high platform, his aura radiating from him, and said, "We will not wait any longer. Our plan was set a long time ago. Now that my little sister has left without saying goodbye, it seems she is unwilling to participate in this battle."
Dressed in crimson armor, even her hair was fiery red. Zhu Rong slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Elder brother, little sister is so insensible! This is such a matter of great importance to our clan, and she just refuses to participate. You should discipline her!"
Ju Mang chimed in, "That's right! My little sister really didn't know any better this time. And that Western Zhunti dared to trick her into repairing their Western Region Earth Vein without even offering any benefits. He's really courting death!"
Dijiang glanced at the group and said helplessly, "Don't bang on the table with me here. If you're so capable, go bang on the table with my little sister. Besides, I can't control her."
Upon hearing this, Gong Gong burst out laughing, and after laughing, said, "How dare Zhu Rong slam his fist on my sister's table? Is he complaining that he wasn't beaten enough last time?"
Hearing Gong Gong's slightly mocking words, Zhu Rong became furious and said irritably, "Yes, I can't beat Little Sister, but at least I dare to fight. You, Gong Gong, don't even dare to fight, yet you have the nerve to criticize me."
Gong Gong's face flushed, and he retorted embarrassedly, "Was it because I was afraid to fight? I was just agreeing with my little sister's opinion, so why should we fight?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Dijiang above felt a headache coming on and shouted, "Shut up, both of you!"
"You are all now leaders of your own territories, with countless men under your command, yet you still hurl insults at each other like this. What kind of behavior is this?"
Seeing that Dijiang was getting angry, the two of them shut up and remained silent.
Qiang Liang snorted coldly, "A mere Three Mountains and Five Peaks, a bunch of wretched gods barely clinging to life, are they even worth the Twelve Ancestor Witches going together?"
"That's right, that's right. A bunch of guys who were terrified of the Three Clans back then actually dare to come out and compete for the throne. They really don't know what's good for them."
"Agreed. My men are already impatient. Let us tell them that times have changed. They were no good in the Ancient Dragon-Han Period, and they still won't be good now."
"Brother, give the order! It's been so long since we've had a proper fight. This time, I'm going to crush Bing Ling Gong's head!"
Seeing his brothers speak one after another, Dijiang glanced at everyone in the hall and his gaze landed on Zhu Jiuyin. The two nodded to each other in tacit agreement.
"Alright, the original plan remains unchanged. We will march on the Three Mountains and Five Peaks. This time, I will wipe out the last person on the Primordial World Continent who dares to call himself Emperor, and also the last person Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao."
"After this battle, we will be the undisputed overlords of the Primordial Wilderness. Once we destroy the Demon Race Heavenly Court, our path to enlightenment will be just around the corner!"
At this point, Dijiang shouted, "Witch!"
The other Ancestor Witch in the hall also shouted in unison, "Shaman! Shaman! Shaman!"
Subsequently, the various Ancestor Witch emerged from the palace, summoned their tribesmen, and began their campaign against the Three Mountains and Five Peaks!
At this time, Donghua and his companions, who were in the Western Region, were unaware of what was happening in the east. They were focused on repairing the Earth Vein, and when the last array was completed, they showed expressions of joy.
"The repairs are finally finished!"
Houtu exclaimed, "Yes, it's finally finished! It was truly no easy feat!"
Repairing Earth Vein is extremely difficult; it requires Great Magical Power to mobilize the earth's energy and then reconnect the broken sections.
Some of the destroyed Earth Vein need to be cut from elsewhere and grafted in, while also considering the compatibility of different Earth Vein.
All of that is fine, but the main problem is the monotony. Constantly repeating the same tasks is making the two of them feel mentally and physically exhausted, even though they are both Quasi-Saint.
"Let's go. Now that we've finished, let's head to Mount Sumeru and meet up with them!"
The two got up and hurried towards Mount Sumeru!
When they arrived at Mount Sumeru, the other four had not yet returned.
With a wave of his hand, Donghua conjured a platform upon which were placed Spirit Fruit such as Flat Peach.
"Houtu Daoist Houtu, let's have some together, we can wait for them!"
Houtu did not refuse and sat down to eat, while Donghua brewed tea on the side.
"I've heard that the Dao Chess that's been circulating in the Primordial Wilderness recently was created by you, fellow Daoist?"
The Dao Chess Tao that Houtu spoke of is actually Go, but it has evolved into something quite different now. A simple game has become a contest of the Dao Law Power, and it's hard to say whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Donghua poured a cup of tea for the two of them and replied, "I created Dao Chess in my spare time, but it has changed drastically since then."
Houtu took a sip of tea, her expression changed, and she said, "How about we play a game of chess?"
Donghua thought for a moment, and since he had nothing better to do, he didn't refuse. The two of them began to play chess in the void.
Houtu suddenly spoke up, saying, "To be honest, the current East King Gong is like a completely different person from the East King Gong I first met."
Donghua channeled the Dao Law Power, pointed in mid-air, and a chess piece landed on the empty chessboard.
"I am who I am, and that has never changed!"
Houtu shook her head. "It's different, it really is different!"
Donghua thought for a moment, then pointed to a large, swaying tree in the distance and said:
"Fellow Daoist, do you think it's the tree that's moving, or the wind?"
Houtu looked over upon hearing this, gazing at the large tree swaying in the wind, and replied, "The wind is moving, and the tree is moving too; the wind blows, and the tree moves!"
"Smack!"
Donghua placed a chess piece, it instantly connected with a vast area of the city. The Dao Law Power gathered together and instantly devoured a large number of Houtu's chess pieces.
"The wind hasn't moved, the trees haven't moved; it's your heart that has been moved, fellow Daoist!"
Houtu was stunned upon hearing this. She looked up at Donghua and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, she waved her right hand and unleashed a burst of magical power, destroying the chessboard in the void.
"I'm not playing anymore, it's boring!"
Donghua was furious when he saw this. How could there be such a person?
In Previous Life and present lives, what he hated most was someone who couldn't beat him at chess and would overturn the chessboard.
"You terrible chess player, how could you flip the chessboard just because you can't win! I'm never playing chess with you again."
Hehehe
Houtu laughed shamelessly.
"The mighty Eastern Wood Duke, the Purple Mansion Donghua Emperor, I never imagined he would be so... adorable" when angry.
"Hahaha!"
Donghua was furious and was about to leave when he saw two figures flying in from the horizon. After landing, they were Zhen Yuanzi and his companions. They did not leave but sat quietly to the side without making a sound.
After landing, Hong Yun, beaming with joy, began to talk about their achievements, but as she spoke, she sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere.
One of them was there, smiling with pursed lips!
One of them stood silently to the side!
Hong Yun then stopped talking, found a place to sit down with Zhen Yuanzi, and the scene became a little quiet for a moment.
Just as two golden lights appeared on the horizon, Jieyin and Zhunti landed, and the talkative Hong Yun stepped forward to tell Zhunti.
The situation then improved!
Zhunti greeted the group and said, "Fellow Daoists, all the preliminary preparations are now complete. Only the final step is to activate the formation and connect to Mount Sumeru, but this is also the simplest part."
"The matter of the Earth Vein can now be considered basically completed. You have all done immeasurable good deeds!"
Hong Yun struck a bow and said, "In that case, we congratulate you two fellow Daoists. The revival of the Western Region is just around the corner!"
Upon hearing this, Zhunti laughter, making no attempt to conceal his joy. Even Jieyin, who wore a smile, was clearly not at peace with himself.
Donghua broke his silence and stepped forward, saying, "Since we're only one step away now, let's activate the formation and connect to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."
The group nodded in agreement.
The Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus appeared beneath the seat of the Jieyin, who sat serenely on the lotus throne, his body radiating celestial light. Precious Vase, Precious Canopy, Paired Fish, a lotus flower, Right-Spiraling Conch, Endless Knot, Victory Banner, Dharma Wheel appeared around him in turn, emitting boundless light.
Zhunti also sat on a lotus platform, with a huge illusory Bodhi tree behind him, the Eight Treasures appearing all around him, an Azure Treasure Flag behind him, and Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his right hand.
In an instant, the radiant light of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss shone brightly across the heavens, and the sound of the Great Dao flowed endlessly.
Donghua and the others did not hesitate and surrounded the two, each sitting on one of the four cardinal directions.
Celestial light emanated from his hand, and the Great Dao Law emerged, activating the array he had previously set up.
Once the arrays in the Western Region were connected, they formed eight pillars of light Tongtian, but they were parallel pillars of light.
Starting from Mount Sumeru, one travels in all directions, where the Earth Vein churn and boundless spiritual energy emanates from the ground. Array formations connect to the Pure Land of Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, with each array point representing a small Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Jieyin and Zhunti immediately exerted their power, gathering the energy of the earth veins from all directions. The illusory Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss connected with the chaos beyond the heavens and the earth veins of Mount Sumeru below. The chaotic energy beyond the heavens was transformed into pure innate spiritual energy, which spread to all directions through the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The Earth Vein's spiritual energy is released, Chaos Qi is transformed into Innate Spiritual Qi, and this cycle continues endlessly.
The eight main veins that Donghua and others had previously constructed began to operate autonomously, as if they had come to life and transformed into eight enormous Golden Dragon.
They rushed towards Mount Sumeru from eight directions, and then dispersed from Mount Sumeru in eight directions.
This continued for eighty-one years until the Golden Dragon dispersed, completely transforming into eight main veins that settled in the Western Land.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy in the Western Region surged, and some small places with minor Sha Qi that had not been cleared away before were swept away without a trace by the spiritual energy.
Flowers are in full bloom, and trees are growing tall and graceful, creating a scene of everything coming back to life.
Donghua and the others also stopped operating, because at this point the great formation no longer needed their operation, having completely merged with the Earth Vein and was operating autonomously.
The extended Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss of Ultimate Bliss has finally returned, and it has been able to sustain itself for eighty-one years. Jieyin and Zhunti and Zhunti are not having an easy time either, and they look quite weak at this moment.
But the smile on his face never faded. Zhunti gripped Jieyin's hand tightly, his face full of excitement, and tears seemed to glisten in his eyes.
"Senior brother, the Western Region Earth Vein have been revived! We've succeeded!"
Jieyin also gripped Zhunti's hand tightly and nodded heavily.
Upon witnessing this touching scene, Donghua, while happy for them, also used a Water Mirror Technique to help them record this moment.
"So touching!!!"
P. S.: I'd like to ask you guys for some monthly votes. I heard there's a reward for getting over 1000 monthly votes, I want to try it out, hahaha!
