Repairing the Earth Veins

However, if he did not seek to restore it to its former peak and only wished to stabilize its foundations.

Then he only needed to purify the earth vein fragments tainted by blood baleful aura and resentment, set the collapsed divine mountain upright, reconnect the severed veins one by one, mend the cracks in the earth veins, and finally link the restored earth veins back to Mount Buzhou's ancestral vein, the core of the primordial world. That would restore thirty to forty percent of the vitality, Dao resonance, and spiritual energy of this divine mountain and the surrounding region.

With the continued nourishment of heaven and earth afterward, the divine mountain and this region would slowly recover.

That should be enough!

Having settled on a plan, a new problem arose: he had long prepared the means to reconnect and organize the earth veins and set the divine mountain upright.

Based on memories from his previous life, he had created a corresponding method from Whip Mountains and Move Stones, one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Fiend Divine Abilities, and named it Whip Mountains and Move Stones as well.

Though he did not specialize in the Dao of Earth or the Dao of the Land, and the power of this divine ability was not particularly outstanding, it was more than sufficient for organizing earth veins and straightening a mountain.

However, he had not created any purification-type divine ability capable of cleansing the blood baleful aura and resentment within the earth veins and removing the defilement from their origins, nor did he possess a corresponding supreme treasure.

Yuan Yan's gaze shifted slightly as he fell into thought once more. A moment later, inspiration flashed through his eyes, and his mind suddenly cleared.

It was not as though he had no solution!

He could use the Yin-Yang Dao as his foundation to create another peerless divine ability: the Yin-Yang Myriad Transformation Divine Light.

In his view, all things in the world lay within yin and yang. Yin and yang could derive all laws, all Daos, and all things, so naturally they could also dissolve and transform all laws, all Daos, and all things into yin and yang.

As long as he created this divine ability, he could dissolve the blood baleful aura and resentment within the fractured earth veins, transform them into Yin-Yang origin power, and use it to nourish the earth veins and mend their cracks.

Would that not perfectly solve the problems of purification and restoration?

Yet Yuan Yan did not remain where he was to deduce and create this peerless divine ability.

To deduce and create such a peerless divine ability, he naturally had to devote himself to it completely. He needed an absolutely safe place and a grand formation to protect himself from disturbance—or even assassination.

This battlefield, with its shattered and severed earth veins, was not a suitable place to set up a formation.

After a brief contemplation, Yuan Yan calculated the heavenly secrets and found a place rich in Dao resonance and spiritual energy.

Having chosen his place of seclusion, Yuan Yan used the Yinyang Cauldron as the formation core and set up a formation to protect himself.

Once everything was prepared, Yuan Yan sat cross-legged before the Yinyang Cauldron and slowly closed his eyes. His mind sank completely into a state of emptiness as he cast aside all distracting thoughts and immersed himself wholeheartedly in comprehending and deducing the Dao, focusing on creating the peerless divine ability: the Yin-Yang Myriad Transformation Divine Light.

The divine ability he intended to create perfectly matched his Yin-Yang Dao, and he had already formed an idea and direction for its creation.

His insights into the Dao and the embryonic form of the divine ability constantly collided, merged, and evolved within his sea of consciousness. Countless profound principles of the Dao emerged clearly in his mind, and the deduction process proceeded with extraordinary smoothness.

In just three thousand years, Yuan Yan created the peerless divine ability known as the Yin-Yang Myriad Transformation Divine Light. As yin and yang energies flowed, they fully displayed the profundity of the Yin-Yang Dao.

With the divine ability complete, Yuan Yan's aura trembled faintly as he slowly opened his eyes. Rising to his feet, he used the Yin-Yang Escape Art and seemed to teleport. In but a moment, he had returned to the vicinity of the collapsed divine mountain.

After landing, Yuan Yan was filled with confidence. He gently pointed with two fingers of his right hand, and a ray of Yin-Yang Myriad Transformation Divine Light shot forth. Yet the instant it left his fingertips, the divine light abruptly split into three thousand streams, accurately landing upon the many earth vein fragments corroded by blood baleful aura and resentment.

In an instant, the blood baleful aura and resentment clinging to the earth vein fragments seemed to have encountered their natural nemesis. Wherever the Yinyang Divine Light passed, the blood baleful aura and resentment dissolved at a visible pace, eventually all transforming into pure, gentle Yin-Yang origin power that lingered around the fragments, devoid of even a trace of violent malice.

At that moment, Yuan Yan's thoughts stirred. The Yin-Yang Dao began to circulate; yin and yang generated one another, and creation arose of itself. The newly transformed Yin-Yang origin power surged continuously, giving rise to boundless life-giving vitality that nourished the fractured earth veins and repaired their cracks.

As he tested his newly created divine ability, the Yin-Yang Myriad Transformation Divine Light, Yuan Yan continuously refined it, making it more suited to the present situation and more effective against blood baleful aura and resentment.

In less than five thousand years, Yuan Yan had cleared away all the blood baleful aura and resentment from this battlefield, including the countless traces that had corroded the earth vein fragments.

With the blood baleful aura and resentment completely removed, Yuan Yan turned his gaze to the shattered, collapsed divine mountain. Raising his hand, he unleashed another great divine ability: Whip Mountains and Move Stones.

The aura of his Dao erupted around him as he used his Yin-Yang Dao to communicate with the vast earth and draw upon the power of the earth's origin. His hands formed another seal, and he gave a light sweep through the air toward the collapsed divine mountain.

In an instant, the earth trembled slightly. Countless stones and mountain fragments slowly rose into the air under the pull of Dao power, precisely returning to their original positions according to the mountain's former contours and veins. The shattered divine mountain gradually pieced itself back together and rose once more upon the earth.

Then Yuan Yan changed his hand seal again, guiding the shattered earth veins to move slowly. Following the terrain of heaven and earth and the paths of the earth veins, he joined the scattered earth veins one by one, returning every disordered vein to its proper place.

Then Yuan Yan changed his hand seal again, guiding the shattered earth veins to move slowly. Following the terrain of heaven and earth and the paths of the earth veins, he joined the scattered earth veins one by one, returning every disordered vein to its proper place.

Once the divine mountain and all the earth veins in this region had returned to their proper positions, he connected the main earth vein of the divine mountain to Mount Buzhou's ancestral vein.

But after all, a broken mirror could never be perfectly restored!

Even though the divine mountain had been restored, the earth veins pieced back together, and the connection to Mount Buzhou's ancestral vein reestablished, the reassembled earth veins remained covered in dense cracks and tiny fissures. They appeared whole, but deep barriers still separated them. They could not form a complete, continuous earth vein system at all, and the earth's energy was consequently obstructed, unable to circulate smoothly. It was far from regaining its former vitality and stability.

As he focused on sensing the state of the earth veins, Yuan Yan's gaze shifted slightly. He pondered inwardly, The foundation of the earth veins has been damaged. Piecing them together alone will not restore them. It seems I cannot spare the Yin-Yang origin power within the Yinyang Cauldron after all. I must use a portion of it to repair the cracks in the earth veins.

Having made up his mind, Yuan Yan no longer hesitated. He summoned the Yinyang Cauldron, which floated at his side, before him once more and drew out one-third of its pure and vast Yin-Yang origin power.

Black and white Yin-Yang origin power intertwined and rose in misty swirls, transforming into a massive cloud of luminous mist that hovered above the earth veins.

Yin and yang gave birth to all things, and origin power transformed into vitality. This mass of Yin-Yang origin power slowly spread through the air, ceaselessly producing boundless life-giving vitality that became radiant spiritual light filling the sky. Like spring rain, it fell and seeped entirely into the cracked earth veins below.

Under the continuous nourishment of the Yin-Yang origin power's endless life-giving vitality, the cracks and fissures within the earth veins rapidly healed and vanished at a visible rate. The barriers and fractures between the earth vein fragments gradually melted away as they fused and absorbed one another. In the end, they became perfectly complete and harmonious, returning to a whole and unified state. Spiritual energy within the earth veins flowed ever more smoothly, without the slightest obstruction.
