Reshaping Mountains and Rivers, Xie and Wu!
"Not again?!"
"Old Ghost Qin was already mysterious and unpredictable, and then there's the Azure Giant Centipede: Azure King, and that bloodthirsty Lu Ming Old Monster..."
"Now there's also Mad Sand Huang Liang, a future Third-Tier array master. Tell me, what kind of bewitching potion did this old ghost Qin use to make so many people follow him!"
now--
The Xie Clan family patriarch, Xie Yongnian, uttered a sour remark, his words laced with envy and jealousy, his entire body trembling with rage...
He's just stubborn!
Wu Yan, the patriarch of the Wu Clan, rubbed his forehead...
A hint of worry crept onto his face, and it was unclear what he was thinking. The atmosphere grew heavy, making it difficult for the two of them to breathe...
Since the end of the Great Zhou-Liang War.
The land of Daliang was then divided up, first by the Xiashang Dao Academy, and then by several other powerful clans, which annexed parts of Daliang...
The remaining half of the territory is what is now the Northern Frontier.
It was successively divided up by five newly emerging powers: Qin, Gao, Nangong, Wu, and Xie, and even gained considerable territory, which was then divided into numerous independent counties...
But right now--
The Qin Clan family has become the dominant power, having annexed Beitai Province, Southern Province, and some scattered territories, making them the uncrowned kings of the Northern Frontier...
Only through the combined efforts of the Xie and Wu families was the situation in the Northern Frontier stabilized!
What appears to be a three-way division of power is actually a alliance between two families to resist the Qin Clan's encroachment. It was initially thought that the situation would remain largely unchanged for at least a century...
But just a few years of peace and stability were about to begin when another Huang Liang struck!
That's good now--
The Qin Clan has suddenly produced four Dao Foundation warriors. They only need to send one to distract either of the two, while the remaining three surround and attack the other...
The Qin Clan could then unify the Northern Frontier!
While a three-on-two situation might be unwinnable, it wouldn't necessarily lead to annihilation. However, a four-on-two situation could easily result in the extinction of both races...
The pressure is at its maximum!
"Brother Wu, what do you mean?"
"How about we surrender? I'm not very capable; I only managed to break through to the Dao Foundation stage by luck. After nearly thirty years of cultivation, I'm only barely at the Dao Foundation Second Layer..."
"If a real fight breaks out, and I die, the entire Xie Clan will be wiped out!"
"Why not just bow down to Senior Qin, admit defeat, and accept our autonomy by coming under the Qin Clan's rule..."
"It doesn't seem like it's impossible..."
Xie Yongnian said half-jokingly, "Just now you were cursing Qin the Old Ghost, and now you're calling him Senior Qin..."
Regarding this--
Although Wu Yan inwardly complained, he had no choice but to agree with Xie Yongnian's suggestion. After all, compared to the Qin, Gao, and Nangong families, their two clans...
It is indeed much weaker!
They lacked the backing of the Gao Clan, the millennia-old wealth of the Nangong Clan, and the extraordinary fortune of the Qin Clan...
Moreover, neither of them possessed exceptional natural talent.
Breaking through to the Dao Foundation requires the right timing, location, and people. In this lifetime, let alone reaching the Golden Core, whether one can even cultivate to the Dao Foundation Perfection is still an unknown!
even--
Whether they can even reach the Dao Foundation Fourth Layer depends on luck; the Dao Foundation Realm is already the end of their lives...
For them, being alive and continuing their Lineage was already a stroke of good fortune!
A peaceful and stable life is what both races desire...
"Brother Wu, don't worry."
"Let's wait and see. That Ancestor Qin hasn't shown himself yet, and his cultivation level is still unknown. If our two clans surrender..."
"But we discovered that Ancestor Qin was only at the Dao Foundation Establishment stage. Wasn't that a huge loss!"
"If the Qin Clan grows powerful and intends to dominate the Northern Frontier, or even compete with forces like the Xiashang Dao Academy and Medicine King Valley, they will need at least a Dao Foundation Seventh Layer cultivation level..."
"It's untenable!"
"If the Qin Clan truly harbors the idea of annexing our two clans..."
"By then, other forces will inevitably try to stop them, and it will be impossible to allow the Qin Clan to grow unchecked!"
"And our two clans, controlling the southern edge of the Northern Frontier, are the best candidates to stop the Qin Clan's southward expansion..."
"Therefore, neither of us should be in a hurry!"
"As the saying goes, patience is the best policy. Since the Qin Clan hasn't made a move, we should also remain still. After all, we are not without a way out..."
Upon hearing this—
Xie Yongnian nodded slightly, clearly acknowledging this view. However, given the Qin Clan's current power, it was necessary to retreat and avoid conflict when necessary...
Gifts that should be given must be given, and all necessary social obligations must be fulfilled!
To put it bluntly, it's a disguised form of offering, a way to pay some "peace money"...
soon--
Before long, news of Huang Liang's work laying the Dao Foundation had spread...
The Qin Clan has gained another Dao Foundation cultivator, whose strength rivals that of established forces like the Great Heavenly Mountain and Medicine King Valley. Their title as the number one power in the Northern Frontier is truly well-deserved!
Some people who had never taken the Qin Clan seriously before now focused their attention on them and began to reassess the Qin Clan's strength...
And Huang Liang—
After breaking through to the Dao Foundation, he received orders from the King of Qin Wang to first reshape the landscape of the Northern Province and stabilize Northern Province nine prefectures...
And this is the first step in rebuilding the landscape.
This involved relocating the Spirit Vein of the original Southern Province and Beitai Province to the center of the Northern Province. Although these two continents each possessed their own Spirit Vein...
However, it is extremely weak and doesn't even reach the required grade!
What Huang Liang wants to do is to integrate the two Spirit Vein into one and place it in the center of the Northern Province, so as to nourish the entire Nine Prefectures of the Northern Province...
This might be very difficult, even a pipe dream, for a Qi Condensation cultivator!
However, for Dao Foundation cultivator, especially Huang Liang who is proficient in formations, it is not a difficult task, as he uses the Raging Sand Dao Law an aid...
Activate the Spirit Vein and separate them from the earth!
Then, using the power of the formation, the Spirit Vein was redirected elsewhere...
Finally, the two unformed Spirit Vein were combined and refined to form a miniature Spirit Vein, which would resonate with the Spirit Vein in the Qin Clan's Muxuan Mountain!
This will create resonance and benefit the entire nine prefectures of the Northern Province...
It is clearly perceptible that the concentration of Spiritual Qi in Northern Province is now significantly higher than before, truly making Northern Province a sacred place for cultivation!
Secondly--
It involved reshaping the landscape of Yingchuan. When the Qin Clan was still weak, they took root in the towering mountains, which made them much safer...
However, this also reduced communication with the outside world!
Now that the Qin Clan has grown powerful, with four Dao Foundation Establishment cultivators residing there, their decision to remain hidden deep in the mountains, while prudent...
Ultimately, however, it failed to become the core hub of the Qin Clan...
Therefore--
Let the Huang Liang Reshape Mountains and Rivers, and with the addition of the Raging Sand Dao Law, returning to the dust, it is the only way to reshape mountains, rivers, and lakes...
Before long, the mountains and rivers near Baxuan Immortal City were obliterated!
Under the relentless erosion of the Raging Sand Dao Law, mountains turned to dust, eventually becoming sand grains scattered throughout the Northern Province...
In the blink of an eye, vast swathes of forest vanished!
