Five Wins

In an instant, Yuan Yan moved!

He raised two fingers of his right hand and lightly pointed through the air. A vast Yinyang Divine Light burst forth, effortlessly tearing apart the Blood-Baleful Domain and scattering the fusion of blood-baleful resentment and residual power of the Great Dao.

Moreover, the technique possessed Yuan Ling. The Yinyang Divine Light did not dissipate, seeming eternal and indestructible as it continued suppressing the residual power of the Great Dao within the Blood-Baleful Domain.

Yet after refining it for only a short while, Yuan Yan's expression shifted, and he deliberately slowed the refining process.

He suddenly discovered that as the Yin-Yang Furnace refined the blood-baleful resentment and residual power of the Great Dao within the Blood-Baleful Domain, the laws and Great Daos intertwined and clashed. This was immensely beneficial to his comprehension of the three thousand laws and Great Daos, as well as his cultivation and refinement of his own Dao.

Moreover, while forcefully refining the Blood-Baleful Domain with the Yin-Yang Furnace was certainly fast, the violent unrest of the blood-baleful resentment and residual power of the Great Dao could easily inflict further damage upon the collapsed divine mountain and the shattered earth veins in this region.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Yan took out the Yinyang Cauldron and tossed it out. The cauldron stabilized time and space, merging with the Yin-Yang Furnace and nearly freezing the Blood-Baleful Domain in place.

As the Yinyang Cauldron merged with the Yin-Yang Furnace, how could its power have merely doubled?

Yet at this moment, the Yin-Yang Furnace did not refine the Blood-Baleful Domain any faster. Instead, while protecting most of the collapsed divine mountain and the remaining shattered earth veins of this region, it elevated the process into a more comprehensive and meticulous confrontation.

At the same time, Yuan Yan moved, transforming into a streak of light and entering the core of the Yin-Yang Furnace without obstruction. There, he silently comprehended the endless truths of the Great Dao manifested through the clash and interweaving of countless laws and Great Daos.

Cultivation knew no measure of time; ten or twenty thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

As the Yin-Yang Furnace that spanned heaven and earth completed its final cycle, boundless immortal radiance and Dao light shone forth, sweeping across the entire Blood-Baleful Domain. The dense blood-baleful resentment entrenched here and the chaotic power of laws and Great Daos left behind by the war of the Three Clans were almost entirely refined away.

Looking around, were it not for more than half of the majestic divine mountain still lying collapsed, with broken walls, ruins, and shattered rocks strewn across the ground, and ravines crisscrossing where the earth veins had ruptured, a trace of desolation after the great battle would scarcely have remained.

This region no longer bore any sign that an incomparably brutal battle had once erupted here. It had regained its clarity and tranquility.

Seeing that the Blood-Baleful Domain had been cleared, Yuan Yan's gaze remained calm. With a slight movement of his mind, the Yin-Yang Furnace, which had suppressed heaven, earth, time, and space and refined all things, suddenly collapsed into a pure current of Yin-Yang qi that merged with the world, adding a measure of Dao Rhyme Spiritual Essence to the somewhat barren land.

The Yinyang Cauldron, its entire body flowing with profound Dao rhymes, slowly revolved through the void. Mysterious beyond mystery, its wonders were inexhaustible. It rapidly shrank into a streak of light and landed steadily in his palm.

His fingertips stroked the warm body of the Yinyang Cauldron. Feeling the surging, ocean-vast Yin-Yang Source Power within, Yuan Yan's lips curved slightly upward, and faint delight rippled through his deep eyes.

His last-minute decision to rush to the Three Clans Battlefield and clear the blood-baleful resentment and residual power of the Great Dao from the Blood-Baleful Domain had yielded rewards far beyond his expectations. He had truly made an enormous profit.

During the ten or twenty thousand years that the Yin-Yang Furnace refined the Blood-Baleful Domain, he had constantly contemplated the laws and Great Daos contained within it. This had deepened his understanding of the three thousand laws and Great Daos, and he had nearly comprehended all three thousand laws to perfection.

Furthermore, amid the interweaving and clash between his Yin-Yang Dao and the many laws and Great Daos, he had gained insight, advancing his own Dao realm somewhat.

Although he still had a long way to go before breaking through to the Late Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm, this cultivation session was roughly equivalent to ten or twenty thousand years of devoted Dao comprehension and cultivation.

In addition, when the Yin-Yang Furnace refined the Blood-Baleful Domain, it refined not only the blood-baleful resentment and residual power of the Great Dao, but also the corpses of those slain in battle. From this, he obtained an enormous amount of Yin-Yang Source Power.

This Yin-Yang Source Power had been refined through his own Yin-Yang Dao and contained the mysteries and imprints of his Dao. It could rapidly replenish his expenditure. It was likely equivalent to the total origin energy of one or two Perfected Great Firmament Golden Immortals, enough to allow him, even after exhausting all his strength, to swiftly recover to his peak dozens of times.

If others refined it, though they could not refine it as quickly as he could to replenish their own expenditure, they could comprehend the mysteries of the Yin-Yang Dao within it and improve their cultivation realm.

There was also the fact that several Great Firmament Golden Immortals of the Three Clans had led some affiliated races in a desperate battle here, ultimately perishing together. Their stored treasures were naturally all here.

Although the vast majority had been destroyed in the battle, those that remained were all decent treasures. Most notably, there were even three Innate Spiritual Treasures among them.

Though they were merely mid-grade and low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and had suffered severe damage, Innate Spiritual Treasures possessed an indestructible nature. There would eventually come a day when they recovered.

Beyond that, once he righted the collapsed majority of the divine mountain, reconnected and repaired the severed earth veins of this region, and restored the Dao Rhyme Spiritual Essence of this land, completing his merit, the Heavenly Dao would surely bestow Mysterious Yellow Merit.

This was truly five wins! He had won five times all by himself!

The joy and satisfaction in his heart lasted only a moment before Yuan Yan slowly withdrew the floating Dao rhymes around him. The smile faded from his eyes, and he returned to his usual calm composure. He knew that now was not the time to celebrate. What he had to do was not yet complete.

The most urgent matter was to right this collapsed divine mountain, reconnect the severed and shattered earth veins of this territory, heal the wounds of heaven and earth, and bring this journey to completion.

With his resolve set, Yuan Yan moved. In an instant, he crossed the void and appeared before the collapsed divine mountain.

His robes fluttered as he stood in the void. Vast divine sense poured forth like a tide, instantly enveloping the smaller half of the ruined divine mountain before gradually spreading out to inspect the shattered mountain and this entire region in detail.

"Hiss!" Once Yuan Yan grasped the condition of the shattered divine mountain and this region, he could not help drawing in a cold breath. His previously calm brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of gravity flashed through his eyes.

The condition of the divine mountain and this region was far too poor. Originally, this region had been centered upon the divine mountain's earth veins, which connected to the ancestral vein of Mount Buzhou. Earth veins large and small extended from the divine mountain's veins throughout the region, forming their branches.

But after the great battle, part of the divine mountain's primary earth veins had been utterly reduced to nothing along with the destruction of the smaller half of the divine mountain. The primary earth veins of the remaining greater portion of the divine mountain, along with the many branch earth veins throughout this region, had been broken into segment after segment, all filled with cracks as their Dao Rhyme Spiritual Essence continuously leaked away.

Moreover, because the divine mountain and this region had lain within the Blood-Baleful Domain and been corroded by blood-baleful resentment, the Dao Rhyme Spiritual Essence of many earth-vein fragments had already dispersed completely. Though they had not become ordinary objects, they could not be reconnected with other earth-vein fragments at all. Otherwise, they would only corrode those other fragments.

"How was he supposed to repair this?" The more thoroughly Yuan Yan understood the situation, the tighter his brows drew together.

He stood in the void with his eyes closed in thought, countless thoughts racing through his mind.

Only after a long time did he sigh inwardly. If he wished to restore the divine mountain and earth veins to their former peak, he would have to willingly dissolve himself into heaven and earth, using his own origin to repair them—but that was impossible.
