Preparations: The Earth Dragon Turns Over

The main hall was silent, and the elders were breathing heavily.

Jianzhou!

What a magnificent feat this is! No cultivator has ever accomplished this before, from ancient times to the present.

If the sixth state can truly be established, the Luozhen Sect will be remembered in the annals of the Dao Realm, becoming the founding sect of the state!

Northern Dark True Spirit was not surprised. He looked at the map and slowly said, "You are right. There are indeed four dormant Ancestral Vein branches under the Great Wilderness, corresponding to the other four states."

When the Dao Realm first opened, the energy was insufficient, and only the Five Elements Five Provinces evolved, while the remaining four branches fell into slumber.

"If we can activate them one by one, triggering the rise of the earth's veins and reshaping the mountains and rivers, we can indeed recreate the four states."

With the Nine Provinces perfected and the Dao Realm elevated, my Ancestral Vein True Spirit will also benefit, restoring its High Antiquity peak power.

He raised his head, his gaze sharp as he looked at Li Yunjing: "Which one do you want to activate first?"

Li Yunjing pointed his finger at a point deep in the Great Wilderness in the northeast of the map. "This place corresponds to the sixth state. I observe that its landforms resemble the character 'Gen,' which means mountains are formed from the earth."

This area has the shallowest ley lines and is the easiest to activate, making it suitable as the first target.

Northern Dark True Spirit stared at the map for a moment, then slowly nodded. "Good eye. This branch is closest to the main Northern Darkness vein. I can mobilize the power of the Ancestral Vein to draw the earth veins up and shape the mountain range. Once the earth veins are activated, the Spirit Vein will naturally arise, and the mountains, rivers, and seas will have a foundation."

"That's good." A hint of a smile flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes.

With the intervention of the Ancestral Vein True Spirit of Northern Darkness, the matter of the earth veins was largely resolved.

He turned to the elders and said in a deep voice, "I have been planning the establishment of Jianzhou for a long time. The territory, the direction of the earth's veins, and the distribution of Spirit Vein have all been initially planned, but there is still much to be done before it can be truly implemented."

"First, we need to relocate the population. The Sixth State is newly established and requires a large number of cultivators and mortals to fill it, multiply, and build up its population in order to stabilize the state. This matter needs to be discussed with the Immortal Alliance, and we also need to issue a call to action to the sects of the Five Provinces."

"Secondly, construct cities and teleportation arrays. The Sixth State is vast, so we need to first establish a main city and several strongholds, and set up teleportation arrays to connect the Five Provinces, facilitating the movement of people and supplies."

"Third, set up the State-Suppressing Array. The state is newly formed and the earth's veins are unstable. A State-Suppressing Array needs to be set up to anchor the earth's veins, stabilize the space, and prevent it from collapsing."

"Fourth, resource reserves. Activating the earth's veins, building cities, and setting up grand formations all require massive amounts of Spirit Stone, materials, and elixirs. This matter requires everyone's concerted efforts and advance preparation."

Li Yunjing presented a clear and logical outline of Jianzhou's major challenges.

The elders were deeply moved, but they also knew that this matter was difficult.

But the thought of the immeasurable merit and the sect's fortune after its completion makes his blood boil again.

"Don't worry, Sect Leader! We'll work day and night to produce the necessary pills without hesitation!" Ding Qifeng was the first to confidently declare.

"Me too! Leave the array flags, Law Artifact, and building materials to us!" Gu Lin immediately chimed in.

Mo Xuan said, "Leave civil affairs, coordination, and liaison with the Immortal Alliance and other forces to me. I will make all the necessary arrangements and preparations."

Everyone expressed their support, and morale was high.

The grand undertaking of Jianzhou may sound far-fetched, but when broken down step by step, it seems not so impossible after all.

Moreover, they have the sect leader Li Yunjing, the Ancestral Vein True Spirit to help them, and the entire Luozhen Sect united as one.

"Alright." Li Yunjing looked at everyone and nodded slightly. "Since everyone has no objections, let's officially begin the construction plan for the Sixth State starting today. Everyone should perform their duties and submit a complete list of required materials and personnel within one month."

"Yes, sir!" the elders replied in unison, their voices strong and clear.

"Sect Leader, does this Sixth State have a name?" Shui Yao suddenly asked at this moment.

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Let's name it Luozhen Province. This represents that this prefecture is the core territory of my Luozhen Sect."

Upon hearing this, everyone's emotions became even more excited.

Seeing this scene, Northern Dark True Spirit revealed a barely perceptible smile on his usually cold face.

There is such a group of people; the idea of a perfect and complete Kyushu might not be just empty talk.

The curtain was thus raised on the establishment of Jianzhou.

The entire Luozhen Sect was like a finely tuned gear, spinning rapidly.

Each elder took on a task and was extremely busy. The disciples were also mobilized, some participating in refining elixirs and magical Law Artifact, others in organizing supplies, and still others in learning city-building formations. Everyone found their place in the great cause of Jianzhou.

Li Yunjing, together with the Northern Dark True Spirit, deduced the activation plan for the earth veins of Luozhen Province every day.

Inside the secret chamber, a miniature map of the Great Wilderness floats in the air, with the earth's veins winding underground like blood vessels.

With a light tap of his fingertip, Northern Dark True Spirit conjured up streams of dark black earth vein power, simulating the process of drawing upon the earth's veins.

"This is a ley line node, and also the location of the Earth's eye in the entire Luozhen Province." Northern Dark True Spirit pointed to a location deep in the Great Wilderness.

"To activate the ley lines, we must start here. Once the earth's eye opens, the entire ley line will slowly awaken, and the power of the ley lines will spread along a predetermined path, automatically shaping mountains and rivers."

"Is there any danger at the location of the Earth Eye?" Li Yunjing asked.

"Deep within the Great Wilderness, there are High Antiquity spatial rifts and many slumbering ferocious beasts," the Northern Dark True Spirit said calmly. "However, with your current cultivation level, you can handle most of them as long as you don't encounter any beasts at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage stage. When the earth veins are truly activated, I will send an avatar with you. The power of the Ancestral Vein can suppress the earth vein turmoil."

Li Yunjing nodded. "That's excellent."

As the two were working on the deduction, suddenly,

Rumble!!!

A deep, muffled roar came from the depths of the earth.

Immediately afterwards, the entire secret room began to shake violently, and teacups on the table and books on the shelves fell to the ground.

The ground undulated like waves, the walls were cracked with fine lines, and the air was filled with a strong earthy smell.

"Um?!"

Li Yunjing and Northern Dark True Spirit's expressions changed simultaneously.

"An earth dragon turning over?" Li Yunjing frowned.

However, the intensity of this tremor was far beyond that of an ordinary earthworm turning over.

Moreover, the source of the tremors was not around the Azure Jiao Marsh, but deep within the Great Wilderness!

Northern Dark True Spirit's expression was a hundred times worse than Li Yunjing's.

He suddenly stood up, and beneath his black robe, the dark earth vein power surged wildly.

Two deep black lights flashed in his eyes, as if they could see through the earth's layers and directly look at the source of the earth's veins.

"No," Northern Dark True Spirit's voice was low and filled with disbelief, "The earth veins... the earth veins have been forcibly broken open!"

"What?" Li Yunjing exclaimed in surprise.

Just then, Mo Xuan's anxious voice came from outside the hall. "Sect Leader! Something terrible has happened! The earth is shaking violently, a loud noise is coming from the direction of the Great Wilderness, the earth's veins are in disarray, and even the mountain-protecting formation has been shaken into activating on its own!"

Li Yunjing moved swiftly, instantly leaving the secret chamber and arriving outside the main hall.

At this moment, Luozhen Grotto-Heaven was still trembling slightly.

Rocks tumbled down the mountain stream, trees swayed, and the disciples, their faces filled with panic, stood orderly in the open area under the elders' reassurance.

The protective array's light barrier flickered in and out, resisting the shockwaves emanating from underground.

Li Yunjing looked up towards the direction of the Great Wilderness, spreading his divine sense outwards to probe the source of the tremor.
