However, if he did not seek to restore it to its full glory and only wished to stabilize its foundation.
Then he merely needed to purify the Earth Vein fragments contaminated by blood fiendish resentment, right the collapsed divine mountain, reconnect the severed veins one by one, mend the cracks in the Earth Veins, and finally reconnect the restored Earth Veins to the Ancestral Vein of Mount Buzhou, the core of the Primordial World. That would restore thirty to forty percent of the vitality and Dao Rhyme Spiritual Essence of this divine mountain and the surrounding region.
Afterward, the natural nourishment of heaven and earth would slowly restore the divine mountain and this region.
That should be enough!
Having settled on a plan, a new problem arose: he had long prepared the means to reconnect and sort out the Earth Veins and right the divine mountain.
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 Gang Divine Abilities, and named it Whip Mountains and Move Stones as well.
Although he did not primarily cultivate the Dao of Earth or the Great Dao of the land, and this divine ability was not particularly powerful, it was more than sufficient for sorting out Earth Veins and righting mountain bodies.
However, he had not created any purification-type divine ability capable of cleansing the blood fiendish resentment within the Earth Veins and removing the impurities of their origin, nor did he possess a corresponding supreme treasure.
Yuan Yan's gaze flickered as he fell into thought once more. A moment later, inspiration flashed through his eyes, and understanding suddenly dawned upon him.
It was not as though he had no solution!
He could use the Yin-Yang Dao as a 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-Yang. Yin-Yang could evolve all laws, all Daos, and all things; naturally, it could also dissolve and transform all laws, all Daos, and all things into Yin-Yang.
As long as he created this divine ability, he could dissolve the blood fiendish resentment within the broken Earth Veins, transform it into Yin-Yang Source Power, and use it to nourish and replenish the Earth Veins, mending their cracks.
Would that not perfectly resolve the problems of purification and restoration?
However, 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 needed to devote himself entirely to it. He needed an absolutely safe place and a grand formation to protect himself, preventing anyone from disturbing him or even launching an assassination attempt.
This battlefield, with its shattered and severed Earth Veins, was hardly a suitable place to set up a formation.
After a brief contemplation, Yuan Yan deduced the Heavenly Secrets and found a place rich in Dao Rhyme Spiritual Essence.
Having chosen his secluded cultivation site, Yuan Yan used the Yinyang Cauldron as the formation core and set up a formation to protect himself.
After completing all this, Yuan Yan sat cross-legged before the Yinyang Cauldron and slowly closed his eyes. His mind sank completely into a state of emptiness, casting aside all distracting thoughts as he immersed himself in enlightenment and deduction, focusing wholeheartedly on creating the peerless divine ability: the Yin-Yang Myriad Transformation Divine Light.
The divine ability he wished to create perfectly matched his Yin-Yang Dao, and he had already formed an idea and direction for its creation.
Insights into the Great Dao and the embryonic form of the divine ability constantly collided, fused, and evolved within his Sea of Consciousness. Countless profound principles of the Great Dao emerged clearly within his heart, and the deduction proceeded with incomparable smoothness.
In barely three thousand years, Yuan Yan created the peerless divine ability known as the Yin-Yang Myriad Transformation Divine Light. As Yin-Yang energies flowed, they displayed the profound mysteries of the Yin-Yang Dao.
With the divine ability complete, Yuan Yan's aura trembled slightly as he slowly opened his eyes. Rising to his feet, he used the Yin-Yang Escape Art. Like teleportation, he returned to the vicinity of the collapsed divine mountain in only an instant.
After landing, Yuan Yan was full of confidence. He raised his right hand and lightly pointed with two fingers, releasing a ray of Yin-Yang Myriad Transformation Divine Light. Yet after leaving his fingertips, the divine light suddenly split apart, transforming into three thousand streams that accurately landed upon the many Earth Vein fragments corroded by blood fiendish resentment.
In an instant, the blood fiendish resentment clinging to the Earth Vein fragments seemed to encounter its natural enemy. Wherever the Yinyang Divine Light passed, the blood fiendish resentment rapidly dissolved at a visible rate, until it was all transformed into pure, gentle Yin-Yang Source Power that lingered around the fragments, no longer carrying the slightest trace of ferocity.
At this moment, Yuan Yan stirred his thoughts and activated the Yin-Yang Dao. Yin-Yang gave rise to each other, and vitality arose naturally. The newly transformed Yin-Yang Source Power surged continuously, generating boundless life force that nourished the severed and shattered Earth Veins, repairing their cracks.
As Yuan Yan tested his newly created divine ability, the Yin-Yang Myriad Transformation Divine Light, he continuously refined it, making it more suited to the current situation and more effective against blood fiendish resentment.
In less than five thousand years, Yuan Yan had cleared away all the blood fiendish resentment on this battlefield, including the countless traces that had corroded the Earth Vein fragments.
With the blood fiendish resentment completely removed, Yuan Yan turned his gaze toward the shattered, collapsed divine mountain and raised his hand to cast another great divine ability: Whip Mountains and Move Stones.
The aura of the Great Dao around him erupted as he used his Yin-Yang Dao to communicate with the vast earth, drawing upon the power of the earth's origin. His hands formed seals once more, and he lightly waved toward the collapsed divine mountain from afar.
In an instant, the earth trembled faintly. Countless rocks 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 original terrain and vein patterns. The shattered divine mountain gradually pieced itself back together and once again stood upon the earth.
Then Yuan Yan changed his hand seals again, guiding the severed Earth Veins to move slowly. Following the lay of the land and the direction of the Earth Veins, he joined the scattered Earth Veins together one by one, returning every disordered vein to its proper place.
After all the Earth Veins of the divine mountain and this region had returned to their positions, he connected the main Earth Vein of the divine mountain to Mount Buzhou's Ancestral Vein.
Yet a broken mirror could never truly be made whole again!
Even though the divine mountain had been restored to its position, the Earth Veins pieced together and reconnected to Mount Buzhou's Ancestral Vein, the newly assembled Earth Veins remained covered in dense cracks and tiny fissures. They appeared united, yet deep barriers still lay between them. They could not form a complete, continuous whole, causing the earth's energy to become blocked and unable to circulate smoothly. They were still far from recovering their former vitality and stability.
Focusing on the condition of the Earth Veins, Yuan Yan's eyes flickered slightly as he thought to himself, The foundation of the Earth Veins has been damaged. Mere reassembly cannot restore them. It seems the Yin-Yang Source Power within the Yinyang Cauldron cannot be spared after all. I must take out a portion to repair the cracks in the Earth Veins.
Having made up his mind, Yuan Yan no longer hesitated. He summoned the Yinyang Cauldron floating beside him back before him and drew out one-third of the pure, vast Yin-Yang Source Power within it.
The Yin-Yang Source Power, with black and white energies intertwined, rose in a hazy swirl and formed a vast cloud of light hovering above the Earth Veins.
Yin-Yang gave birth to all things, and source power transformed into vitality. This mass of Yin-Yang Source Power slowly spread through the air, continuously generating boundless life force. It became shimmering spiritual light that filled the sky and fell like spring rain, all of it seeping into the cracked Earth Veins below.
Under the continuous nourishment of the boundless life force generated by the Yin-Yang Source Power, the cracks and tiny fissures within the Earth Veins rapidly healed and vanished at a visible rate. The barriers and breaks between the Earth Vein fragments gradually melted away as they fused with and absorbed one another. In the end, they became completely whole and harmonious, returning to an intact, unified state. Spiritual energy within the Earth Veins flowed ever more smoothly, without the slightest obstruction.
