Drawing It In, I Will Protect It

Southern Li Fire Essence clapped her hands excitedly. "Great idea! Luozhen Province, where the Immortal Vein is located, will definitely have the most abundant Spiritual Qi and be the most fun!"

The Western Extreme Golden Radiance True Spirit said in a deep, booming voice, "I think so too! Anyone who dares to try and steal the Immortal Vein, I'll chop them down with one axe!"

Wind Ruins True Spirit, waving his folding fan, smiled and said, "Young friend Li's plan achieves three goals at once. It solves the problem of the Immortal Vein's placement, accelerates the process of Jianzhou, and can attract talent with the Immortal Vein, thus bringing prosperity to Luozhen Province. It is indeed a superior strategy."

The Netherworld Earth Spirit said in a hoarse voice, "When the Immortal Vein enters the state, a grand formation needs to be set up to lock in the Immortal Spirit Qi and prevent it from dissipating. The earth Immortal Vein also needs to be nurtured to allow it to completely merge with the earth vein. All of this takes time."

"With the combined efforts of the ten Ancestral Vein, drawing upon the Immortal Vein is a simple matter," Star Abyss True Spirit said warmly. "Although fusing with the earth veins will take time, it's not difficult either."

The Primordial Origin Spirit said, "I will reinforce the spatial barrier to prevent the aura of the Immortal Vein from leaking out and to prevent outsiders from probing."

The ten Ancestral Vein True Spirit unanimously agreed.

Northern Dark True Spirit looked at Li Yunjing, a slight smile playing on her lips, "I've said it before, his ideas have always been reliable."

Li Yunjing smiled slightly, "Since everyone has no objections, then we should not delay. The Immortal Vein has just been born and is at its weakest point. The sooner we guide it, the better."

"Good!" The Central Thick Earth True Spirit nodded emphatically. "Without further ado, let's get started. The ten Ancestral Vein will join forces to guide the Immortal Vein into the Luozhen Province!"

The ten Ancestral Vein True Spirit stirred simultaneously.

The Central Thick Earth True Spirit stands in the center, in charge of the central pivot, harmonizing all the meridians.

The four True Spirits —Eastern Extreme Azure East, Southern Li Fire Essence, Western Extreme Golden Radiance, and Northern Dark True Spirit— are positioned in the four directions, corresponding to the Four Symbols metal, wood, water, and fire.

Wind Ruins and Thunder Marsh stood to the left and right, while Netherworld and Star Abyss echoed from the front and back. The Primordial Origin Spirit in the void, stabilizing the space.

"Gentlemen, prepare for battle!"

The Central Thick Earth True Spirit let out a low shout and formed a hand seal.

Ten beams of light of different colors shot into the sky simultaneously, intertwining in mid-air to form a huge ten-colored network of earth veins.

Above the vast net, the earth's vein patterns crisscross, containing the primordial power of the Dao Realm's earth veins.

"Go!"

The hand seals of all ten people changed simultaneously.

The enormous network of earth veins slowly moved, enveloping the direction from which the celestial light rose.

The earth began to tremble violently.

The ten Ancestral Vein exerted their power simultaneously, drawing upon the earth vein power of the entire Dao Realm, converging into an unimaginable mighty force that enveloped the newly born Immortal Vein and slowly pulled it toward the direction of the Earth Eye in Luozhen Province.

The Immortal Vein seemed to sense the goodwill and did not resist. Instead, they slowly moved along with the power of the earth vein network.

Milky white celestial light, like a flowing Milky Way, slowly traversed the sky, enveloped by the earth's ley lines.

Wherever it passed, Spirit Vein automatically sprang up from the earth below, vegetation grew wildly, spiritual springs gushed forth, and the barren Black Stone land became vibrant with life at a visible speed.

Li Yunjing stood on the ground, looking up at this breathtaking scene, his heart filled with emotion.

The ten Ancestral Vein joining forces to guide the Immortal Vein —such a feat is probably unprecedented since the birth of the Dao Realm.

He was fortunate enough to witness it firsthand and even participate in it.

"Yunjing, what do we need to do now?" Fang Hexuan walked to Li Yunjing's side, his voice still filled with shock.

"Pass down the order," Li Yunjing said in a deep voice. "First, all disciples of the Luozhen Sect, except those who remain behind, must go to the Luozhen Province Earth Eye to prepare for building the city and setting up the formation."

Second, all resources— Spirit Stone, materials, pills, and array flags—were mobilized and transported to Luozhen Province.

Third, inform Ge Shuyuan to bring the high-grade spirit medicine seeds from the Spirit Field and plant them immediately in the surrounding area after the Immortal Vein lands.

"Fourth..." Li Yunjing paused, his eyes sharpening, "Pass down the order: the entire sect shall enter a state of highest combat readiness."

The emergence of Immortal Vein inevitably attracts countless covetous individuals.

" With the Luozhen Province newly established and its Immortal Vein newly formed, it is at its most vulnerable stage and absolutely cannot afford any mistakes."

"Alright!" Fang Hexuan nodded solemnly, immediately took out the communication jade talisman, and began to transmit the order.

The Luozhen Sect's system was already well-established, and once the order was issued, everyone in the sect immediately sprang into action.

A steady stream of people and supplies departed from Azure Jiao Marsh and headed towards the Luozhen Province.

The connection of the Immortal Vein lasted for a full day and night.

As the first rays of dawn appeared in the east, the milky-white Immortal Vein, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, finally sank slowly into the Luozhen Province.

Boom!!!

The moment the Immortal Vein entered the earth, the entire Luozhen Province Prefecture trembled violently.

The next moment, endless Immortal Spirit Qi surged out from the earth's eye, spreading rapidly like milky white mist.

Wherever the mist passed, clear spiritual springs automatically gushed forth from the ground, the soil turned black and fertile, the rocks became jade-like, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi instantly soared to an astonishing level.

The once barren Black Stone Land was transformed overnight into Blessed Land of immortals, brimming with Spiritual Qi energy.

"It's done!"

The Central Thick Earth True Spirit withdrew his hand seal, his face showing fatigue, yet unable to conceal a smile.

The other nine Ancestral Vein True Spirit also withdrew their attacks, their auras becoming somewhat disordered.

Even with the combined power of the ten Ancestral Vein, drawing upon a single Immortal Vein would consume a considerable amount of energy.

Northern Dark True Spirit walked to Li Yunjing's side and said in a deep voice, "The Immortal Vein has landed and has initially merged with the earth vein, but it still needs at least three months of nurturing to be completely stable. These three months are the most critical period and must not be disturbed."

"I understand." Li Yunjing nodded. "I will set up the Ten Veins Immortal-Locking Grand Array here, in conjunction with the power of the ten Ancestral Vein, to protect the Immortal Vein."

The Central Thick Earth True Spirit walked over and looked at Li Yunjing approvingly. "Young friend Li, please take good care of the matters of Jianzhou."

We will each send a clone to remain here to help you stabilize the earth's veins and protect the Immortal Vein.

The original bodies then return to their respective Ancestral Vein to continue awakening their original essence, while simultaneously monitoring the movements of the Five Provinces.

"Thank you all for your trouble." Li Yunjing bowed and expressed his gratitude.

With the ten Ancestral Vein incarnated to Luozhen Province is further guaranteed.

After the discussion, the Ancestral Vein True Spirit each left behind an avatar, while their true forms transformed into streams of light and returned to their respective Ancestral Vein.

Before leaving, Southern Li Fire Essence glanced longingly in the direction of the Immortal Vein and said that he must come and visit once Luozhen Province is completed.

Soon, only the Northern Dark True Spirit, the Nine Incarnations, and the busy Luozhen Sect members remained in place.

Li Yunjing stood beside the eye of Luozhen Province, gazing at the surrounding misty Immortal Spirit Qi, his eyes resolute.

"Issue my order: Construction on Luozhen Province shall commence immediately! The main city of Luozhen Province shall be built with the Earth Eye as its center and named Luozhen City."

Build outposts and teleportation arrays around the main city, connecting the Five Provinces.

The Ten Veins Immortal-Locking Grand Array shall begin to be set up immediately...

The orders were relayed down one by one.

Thousands of the Luozhen Sect disciples, led by their elders, busied themselves with great enthusiasm.

Just as the Luozhen Sect was building Luozhen Province with great enthusiasm, news of the emergence of Immortal Vein spread like wildfire throughout the Five Provinces at an astonishing speed.

At first, some people didn't believe it, thinking it was just a rumor.

But when more and more cultivators confirmed that there really was Immortal Spirit Qi permeating the depths of the Great Wilderness and that immortal light was indeed soaring into the sky, the entire Five Provinces were in an uproar.

"Immortal Vein! It really is Immortal Vein!"

"The legendary Immortal Vein, which only exist in the Immortal Realm, have actually been born in the Dao Realm!"

"Obtaining the Immortal Vein allows one to cultivate into an immortal and ascend as a clan! This is an incredible fortuitous opportunity!"

"Let's go! To the Great Wilderness! If we're too late, we won't get anything!"

"..."

Countless cultivators were eager to make their move.
