Enjoying delicious food, dried fruits and candied fruits, fine wines and spirits, admiring the scenery of lakes and mountains, and chatting about all sorts of interesting things you've seen and heard – this is truly one of life's pleasures.

They started by chatting about interesting stories, then moved on to the Azure Dragon, and then to the great battle that no one had ever witnessed, and the devastated Purple Jade Mountain.

Then Zhen Yuanzi said to Wu Chu, "The earth's veins here were damaged after that great battle. Although not seriously,... would you like me to repair them for you?"

Wu Chu was overjoyed upon hearing this and said with a smile, "In that case, thank you very much, fellow Daoist!"

Wu Chu originally wanted to address the two seniors as "elders," but they refused.

In Wu Chu's view, they were both his teachers in a certain sense, since they were the ones who helped him perfect and develop his cultivation methods.

However, these two senior figures felt that although they had made some contributions, their credit was only half. Moreover, although Wu Chu's cultivation was low, his knowledge was extraordinary, and the theories he proposed, whether alchemy theory or the All Selves as One in the Daluo, were quite enlightening for them. Therefore, it was actually quite normal for them to treat each other as equals.

At their level, cultivation relies on enlightenment. Even a little inspiration can spark a flash of insight in them, which is extremely rare for them.

This is why these practitioners enjoy discussing the Dao; they simply want to use the Dao that others cultivate to create a collision with their own, and see if they can gain any inspiration.

After a pause, Wu Chu asked again, "Is repairing the earth's veins a great drain on you, fellow cultivator?"

Although Wu Chu knew that Zhen Yuanzi would receive Merit for using the Earth Book to repair the earth veins, he was unsure about the extent of the damage caused by the repair.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yun laughed heartily and said, "It seems your worries are unnecessary. My virtuous brother possesses a priceless Supreme Treasure that will greatly aid in the restoration of the earth's veins. Not only will it require minimal expenditure of magical power, but it will even bring rewards Merit the Heavenly Dao..."

Faced with Hong Yun's big mouth, Zhen Yuanzi looked at him helplessly, but Hongyun burst into laughter again, perhaps finding Zhen Yuanzi's expression amusing.

Wu Chu touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, unsure whether he should laugh. Sometimes he thought that it was normal for Hong Yun, with her straightforward personality, to offend people.

Fortunately, Zhen Yuanzi recovered on his own. "Brother Hong Yun is quite right. I do indeed possess a Supreme Treasure called the Earth Book, which is my innate Spirit Treasure. It can draw upon the spiritual energy of the earth's veins, regulate the flow of mountains and rivers, and harmonize Yin Yang..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu's eyes feigned a brightening. In fact, Wu Chu was naturally familiar with the Earth Book, as it was Zhen Yuanzi's innate Spirit Treasure and one of the three great treasure books of the Primordial World.

The other two great books have yet to appear in the world!

As for what the Earth Book looks like, Wu Chu had no idea.

"Fellow Daoist, while you are sorting out the earth's veins, could you also alter the flow of the earth's energy to form an array? Using mountains and valleys as the foundation and the earth's veins as the network, could you create a celestial array?"

Wu Chu's statement piqued the interest of not only Zhen Yuanzi but also Hong Yun. "Fellow Daoist, could you elaborate on your thoughts?"

So Wu Chu explained his idea, concluding, "In this way, this area can form a vast natural field, gathering the surrounding spiritual energy, which can be used for cultivation or for the operation of formations... Do you two think this is feasible?"

Hong Yun slapped his thigh and then patted Wu Chu on the shoulder, "Fellow Daoist, you truly are a genius! Your ingenuity puts me to shame!"

Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said, "Theoretically, it should be feasible. However, I have never thought of or tried to do this before. Now, I can give it a try. What kind of formation would you like me to set up here?"

Wu Chu smiled and said, "The first choice is naturally the Lost-Trace Illusion Formation that can be used to confuse the enemy. The method of gathering spirit is not very meaningful to me, after all, I already have that Spirit Root. The second choice is an offensive method, and the third choice is a defensive method, since this Purple Jade Mountain already has a Guardian Formation."

Hong Yun laughed and said, "Why is the method of attack placed after the method of illusion? Is it because if an enemy attacks this place, killing them would be more effective than besieging them?"

Wu Chu shook his head and said, "If the enemy can break through my Mountain Protection Array, it means that their cultivation level is not easy to deal with. Using offensive formations will probably be difficult to resist. It would be better to use an illusion formation to surround them, which will buy me some time so that I can escape."

This statement made Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun burst into laughter.

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Hong Yun and said, "I'm not good at illusion arrays, so please set one up, brother!"

Hong Yun shook her head and said, "I don't know much about illusion arrays either. The only one that I can call the 'Ten Ten-Thousand-Li Floating Cloud Formation' is an illusion array. I've heard that the Qingqiu Fox Clan is quite skilled in this art. We can find some time to visit Qingqiu and discuss it with them."

"Then let's set up this Ten-Thousand-Li Floating Cloud Formation!" Wu Chu said, looking at Zhen Yuanzi, "Fellow Daoist, do you understand the Five Elements Illusion Formation? If so, you can also add the Five Elements Illusion Formation to this formation and see if you can connect these two formations and use them together to form a series of interconnected formations..."

Upon hearing this, the two silently looked at Wu Chu.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?" Wu Chu asked, puzzled.

Hong Yun shook his head and sighed softly, "With your extraordinary talent and ingenuity, it's not difficult for you to achieve the Golden Immortal and enter the stage of enlightenment. Your achievements will certainly not be lower than ours, and it's even possible for you to surpass us. To be honest, I am somewhat envious of your talent!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu burst into laughter, "Then I'll take Fellow Daoist Hongyun's auspicious words!"

Zhen Yuanzi smiled, moved, and floated into the air, hovering there. Then a golden scroll appeared in his hand. With a flick of Zhen Yuanzi hand, the scroll unfurled like a painting, and a profound aura spread outwards from the scroll.

Wisps of primordial energy rose from the earth, and under the influence of the scrolls, they began to transform. The next moment, the heavens and earth trembled, as if an earthquake had struck.

Amidst this tremor, mountain ridges rose from the flat land, and verdant mountains emerged from the ground. The valleys and ravines that had long been leveled were re-formed among the green mountains. Gushing spiritual energy, like dragons and tigers, gathered from all directions and plunged into this land.

Tens of thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles, hundreds of thousands of miles...

The earth seemed to come alive at that moment, but the grass and trees on the ground were not affected, as if an invisible force was protecting them.

Wu Chu knew that the golden scroll must be the Earth Book. Legend has it that this treasure was formed from the Primordial World earth lichen, which is the Earth Embryonic Membrane, and has amazing defense.

This treasure played a significant role in Zhen Yuanzi's fortunate rise to become the Ancestor of Earth Immortals.
