Chapter 181 Repairing Fuyao
Chapter 181 Repairing Fuyao
Even after the smoke of the great battle has cleared, the devastation of the sacred land of Fuyao remains a shocking sight.
The continuous battles have torn apart the mountains and rivers, leaving ravines and gullies all over the landscape.
The mountain's spiritual veins and underground veins were shaken and fractured in many places, causing the originally abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth to become thinner.
The battlefield has long been cleared, the dead have been laid to rest, and the wounded have all been settled and are recuperating.
The most urgent task for the Fuyou Holy Land right now is to repair the damaged mountain and spiritual veins and mend the arrays and restrictions in various places.
While formations and restrictions are easy to construct, many formations are built upon the veins of mountains and rivers.
If the mountains, rivers, and earth veins, as well as the related spiritual veins, cannot be repaired, the formation will naturally be incomplete.
However, not everyone possesses the magical power to transform the world and reshape mountains and rivers.
Ordinary cultivators diligently practice magic, mostly specializing in offense, defense, and killing, but few comprehend the Dao of Creation.
Forcing a solution will not only fail to repair the mountains and rivers, but may also cause the rock layers to crack again and disrupt the spiritual veins.
Looking across the entire Nine Provinces, only the Daoist Academy's immortal cultivation methods are among the best in creating divine powers for the world.
However, such supernatural abilities require extremely high skill levels. Among those present, only a few top experts, such as Xia Linxian and Li Jingyun, had some knowledge of the methods of shaping mountains and rivers and guiding spiritual veins.
However, their level of skill is ultimately limited, and they are not strong enough to use such supernatural abilities. They can play a supporting role, but they are not good at being the main force.
Even a powerful figure like the Holy Lord of the Fuyou Holy Land could do it, but he was injured and in seclusion, and had no time to spare at the moment.
At this moment, only Chongming, the Daoist elder who transmits his skills, can use his supernatural powers to change the world and repair the damaged spiritual veins of the sacred mountain in the Fuyou Holy Land.
As the morning light broke through the mist, it fell upon the dilapidated Fuyao Mountains, marking the official start of the restoration work on Fuyao.
Two thousand Sky Guards, a group of talisman masters, physicians, and ordinary Taoist disciples were arranged in various open spaces, each performing their duties.
Lu Ming and Qin Feiyu stood side by side, mingling in the crowd, on a platform with a wide view, and did not step forward to make a move.
The two had cultivated together since childhood, focusing on combat techniques. While their weapons were adequate for charging into battle, they were complete novices when it came to the magical abilities of gathering earth into mountains and connecting spiritual veins.
Not only them, but the vast majority of young cultivators present were like this.
They stopped to watch, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to observe how high-level experts could draw upon the power of heaven and earth to comprehend another aspect of the Great Dao.
Qin Feiyu gazed at the broken main peak in the distance and sighed softly, "I can handle fighting and killing, but to reshape mountains and reconnect spiritual veins is something I've never heard of before."
"In the past, I only knew that supernatural powers could split mountains and shatter rocks, but today I have seen a new sight."
Lu Ming nodded slightly, looking at Elder Chongming who was casting a spell in mid-air.
Although he has mastered the first and seventh chapters of the Golden Orchid Sutra, he has not yet fully comprehended them and has only grasped the basics.
Although Lu Ming had some understanding of the creation of heaven and earth through the Golden Jade, it was only a perception; he did not have the method to reshape the creation of mountains and rivers.
At this moment, he focused his attention on observing and carefully sensing the mysterious power of heaven and earth, hoping to glean some insights from it and deepen his understanding of the Golden Talisman.
High in the air, Elder Chongming's robes fluttered in the wind, his beard and hair swaying slightly in the morning light.
His cultivation was unfathomable; he was not only skilled in combat but also in various magical abilities.
He raised his hand to form a seal, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of several miles was drawn by the invisible energy and began to flow slowly.
The first structures to be repaired were the three auxiliary peaks on the east side that had been broken by the aftershocks of the battle.
Half of the mountainside is tilted and collapsed, the rock layers are misaligned, and the foundation is in grave danger.
Chongming stepped onto the sky above the center of the broken peak and began to cast a spell.
"Heaven and earth take form, mountains and peaks return to their proper places!"
With a soft shout, all the rock fragments and scattered rocks floated in the air, densely arranged around the fracture.
Boundless spiritual energy transformed into a pale light curtain, enveloping the entire tilted mountain, and then gradually straightened the peak according to the flow of the spiritual veins.
The misaligned rock layers were pieced back together, and the cracks in the broken cliff were filled with floating rubble, which then gathered together and merged into one.
The mountain's fracture, polished by the power of nature, gradually became smooth, the texture of the rocks becoming seamless, as if it had never been broken.
The three crumbling immortal mountains recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and spiritual energy slowly rose within their peaks.
Not far away, Xia Linxian and Li Jingyun led hundreds of Fuyao and Daoyuan experts, who were scattered around various damaged nodes to provide assistance.
The two used hand seals to guide the power of heaven and earth along the general trend of Chongming Mountain, reinforcing the surface of the mountain and calming the shallow earth energy.
"They mobilized the power of heaven and earth, drawing upon the five elements of heaven and earth to transform into the power of creation, and repaired the mountains and rivers along their original course," Lu Ming said thoughtfully.
Qin Feiyu watched intently, then whispered to Lu Ming, "They both mobilize the power of heaven and earth, but their offensive and defensive abilities, as well as their creation abilities, are worlds apart."
Lu Mingshen agreed, saying that the great Dao has the same origin and that power is neither good nor evil. A single thought of killing can destroy mountains and rivers, while a single thought of compassion can create all things.
After dealing with the collapsed mountains, Chongming turned and rushed towards the broken spiritual vein area in the heart of the sacred land.
Several main spiritual veins in this area were shattered by the impact, the earth's veins were twisted and broken, and the spiritual energy was in complete chaos.
If left unchecked for too long, the spiritual energy of the entire Fuyou Sacred Land will continue to decline.
Chongming landed on a spiritual vein ravine, and slowly pressed his palms into the void. The power of heaven and earth was drawn to him and seeped into the ground through the cracks in the strata.
"The spiritual source returns to its source, and the thousand veins are reconnected!"
A faint humming sound came from deep underground.
The twisted and fractured earth veins, guided by the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, are gradually repaired and return to their original course.
At both ends of the severed spiritual vein, boundless spiritual energy from heaven and earth transformed into a crystalline bridge of light, connecting the broken vein.
The intermittent river of spiritual energy once again pierced through the earth, stretching out towards various parts of the mountains.
With Chongming's continuous restoration efforts, damaged spiritual veins and earth veins have been repaired one after another.
The chaotic spiritual energy gradually stabilized, and the scattered spiritual energy regrouped.
The withered spiritual herbs and trees around them were nourished by the spiritual energy, and their yellowed leaves slowly turned green. The dried-up spiritual spring in the secluded valley also began to gurgle again.
Xia Linxian, Li Jingyun, and others followed closely behind, setting up simple vein-stabilizing seals in the area where the spiritual veins had been repaired to lock the vein openings.
The people on the hillside were deeply moved.
The Sky Patrol Guard cultivators have been fighting for years, and their spears are only used for charging and breaking through enemies. When have they ever seen a powerful cultivator forcefully restore a shattered landscape?
The cultivators also focused their attention and silently sensed the power of creation within.
Lu Ming's gaze remained fixed on Chongming's figure; he had a profound understanding of the human body's meridians and acupoints.
Watching the other party comb through the underground spiritual veins, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
The human body is like heaven and earth, and qi and blood are like the flow of spirit. The meridians are like the spiritual veins of mountains and rivers. When the meridians are straightened, qi and blood flow smoothly, just as when the spiritual veins are connected, mountains and rivers are at peace.
The great principles of heaven and earth and physical cultivation seem to share a common underlying principle.
This realization deepened his understanding of the seventh chapter of the Golden Orchid Sutra.
"So only those at Elder Chongming's level can wield power to such an extent," Qin Feiyu exclaimed. "We wonder when we will ever be able to attain such extraordinary abilities."
"One day, we will too!" Lu Ming said confidently, looking at Qin Feiyu.
Although Elder Chongming and the other cultivators repaired the holy land very quickly, the Fuyou Holy Land was too vast.
Even at their pace, it would take more than a month to complete the repairs, and further optimizations will be needed.
