Establishing a Foundation!

[Bonus chapter for fellow Daoist "Crane Immortal"! Thank you for the Great God certification!]

Shi Jian grinned.

He carried the main peak of Hongtian City and flew straight towards the northern region.

In the most central location in the north, there is a second-tier superior Spirit Vein mountain peak, with a majestic appearance and the most abundant Spiritual Qi.

Shi Jian arrived above the mountain peak.

"Open the door for me!"

His claws suddenly ripped apart, and the violent Purple Firmament Divine Lightning struck the mountain below, flattening the summit.

Then, Shi Jian released his hands.

"Boom!"

The main peak of the Sun Clan, carrying the weight of the rocks, crashed precisely onto the flattened mountain peak, and the two peaks collided with a deafening roar.

The earthquake trembled, and dust flew everywhere.

Shi Jian did not stop.

He exhaled a breath of primordial demonic Yao Qi, which transformed into countless bolts of lightning Daoist energy, striking the junction of the two mountain peaks and causing them to continuously merge and reshape the mountain body.

"Melt!"

He intends to forcibly merge the two Spirit Vein!

Under the forceful compression of the lightning, Hongtian City's second-tier mid-grade Spirit Vein and the original second-tier high-grade Spirit Vein began to collide and merge violently.

A storm of Spiritual Qi energy swept across the land.

The entire process took more than three hours, and the two Spirit Vein finally merged completely, becoming one...

A surge of Spiritual Qi, far exceeding that of a second-tier high-grade spirit, soared into the sky.

Although it has not yet reached the true third tier, it is almost there. Its foundation is becoming increasingly solid, and its mountain range pierces the Yunxiao, reaching over a thousand feet in height!

The entire mountain peak was shrouded in a layer of purple-gold thunderclouds.

The rocks, tempered by the thunder, gleamed with a metallic sheen, and the rolling thunder roared incessantly, engulfing the surrounding area in a Lei Bao.

"From this day forward, this peak shall be named Purple Firmament Peak."

Shi Jian's voice echoed throughout the thirty-six peaks of the north.

"The Lightning Bear Line, including the Lei Huan and other demonic creatures, will reside on Purple Firmament Peak and cultivate under my guidance."

"Roar!"

Dozens of bear demons with lightning bloodlines, along with Lei Huan, excitedly rushed up Purple Firmament Peak. The abundant Dao of Lightning Spiritual Qi here was simply the paradise they had always dreamed of.

Shi Jian turned his head and looked at the remaining five second-tier Spirit Vein peaks.

"Shi Pan."

"Exist!"

Shi Pan stepped forward with heavy steps, his eyes filled with intense passion.

Shi Jian pointed to the left, to a mountain peak as heavy as a tortoise shell. "That mountain is yours."

"You are named Boulder Peak. You command both the native and primordial bear demons of this land, stationed here to solidify my foundation."

"Thank you, Ancestor!" Shi Pan bowed respectfully.

"Shi Mo."

"Here!" The Dark Gold giant Bear Human stood up.

Shi Jian pointed to his right, to a precipitous peak imbued with the energy of Geng Metal: "That mountain is a gift to you."

"Renamed Ringing Metal Peak, you will lead the Dark Gold Line. In the future, our clan will need your Dark Gold tribe to expand our territory!"

"Yes, sir!" Shi Mo pounded his chest heavily.

"Lord Rat."

The blood rat transformed into a streak of red light and knelt at Shi Jian's feet.

Shi Jian pointed to Fang Yi, perpetually shrouded in dark clouds:

That mountain, I give it to you.

"Rename it Blood Sha Peak. Your rat bastards, keep a close watch on every corner of White Cloud Temple."

"I understand. I will not let you down, Master."

The Lord Rat chuckled sinisterly, his heart pounding with excitement.

With four of the six peaks gone, Shi Jian pondered for a moment before making his decision regarding the remaining two second-tier Spirit Vein peaks:

"The Black Hound Clan has been stationed at Frenzied Battle Peak, responsible for outer patrols."

As for the last mountain peak...

It was a beautiful and Spiritual Qi warm peak, originally intended by Shi Jian to be left to Shi Yin...

However, Shi Yin had already been taken to the Supreme Purity Sect by True Person Luanyuan.

Shi Jian's gaze fell on Sun Mao, who was looking uneasy below.

Sun Mao, along with seventeen members of the Sun Clan clan, stood at the foot of Purple Firmament Peak. They didn't know how their ancestor would treat them.

This vast, sacred mountain seemed to offer no refuge for humans like them.

Shi Jian transformed into the size of a normal person, took a step, and arrived in front of Sun Mao.

Sun Mao.

"Mao is here." Sun Mao immediately knelt down.

Shi Jian pointed to the last second-tier mountain peak.

"That mountain was then bestowed upon the Sun Clan."

Shi Jian's voice was gentle and kind, seemingly showing great concern for them:

From then on, this mountain was named: Bo'an Peak.

Sun Mao suddenly looked up, his eyes instantly reddening. Bo'an, that was the name of his grandfather, the clan chief, which showed Shi Jian's good intentions.

"Ancestor..."

Sun Mao's throat bobbed, and he kowtowed heavily, his emotions churning.

"Sun Bo'an shielded me from disaster; it was out of his sincere heart."

"This mountain is a token of my respect for him, and for the Sun Clan."

"Live well from now on, and don't let Bo'an's sacrifice go to waste. Work hard from now on, and with my support, the Sun Clan will surely prosper in the future!"

Sun Mao gritted his teeth, tears falling onto the soil.

He stood up and led seventeen members of his tribe toward their new home.

As for the thirty-six first-tier mountains, Shi Jian didn't pay much attention to them and handed them all over to the Sun Clan family to manage.

From now on, it will be used to cultivate spiritual plants, for the reproduction and propagation of low-level spiritual beasts.

With this, the merger between the Sun Clan and White Cloud Temple was completely completed.

The northern part of the Cloud Sword Mountain Range has been completely transformed, becoming an absolute forbidden zone filled with Yao Qi energy. Shi Jian is quite satisfied with this new territory!

After that, it was a period of rest and recuperation.

At the same time, it's time to make further plans for some things...

For example: Blessed Land!

Inside Purple Firmament Peak, Shi Jian had rebuilt a cave abode atop the mountain, and outside the cave abode was the Thunder Pool.

Shi Jian's plan was to take this Thunder Pool a step further!

He still possesses a wisp of wood-elemental Heaven and Earth Qi, which Shi Jian intends to infuse into the mountain to enhance its Dao of Wood foundation.

Water and wood generate thunder, Dao of Wood also helps in the advancement of the Dao of Lightning.

Whether it's the Spirit Plant of the Dao of Lightning in the mountains or the environment that provides for recuperation, this wisp of Dao of Wood Heaven and Earth Qi can play a significant role.

also--

Shi Jian also planned to take back that strange stone forest in the Clear Wind Mountain Range, which might damage a treasure trove.

However, if arranged properly, it can be integrated into Purple Firmament Peak.

Then, the foundation of Purple Firmament Peak will be further enhanced and strengthened, with the Dao of Wood Heaven and Earth Qi forging its base, and the treasures of heaven and earth integrating into the mountain, further increasing its Dao of Lightning foundation...

At the very least, it can save one or two hundred years for the formation of Blessed Land!
