Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 870 Fourth-Order High-Grade Spiritual Vein
After speaking for a while, Ji An stood up and said:

"It's getting late. I'm heading to the Land of Absolute Spirits now. The sect must remain vigilant."

Although the Buddhist monks cannot come from the direction of the Land of Absolute Spirits, they might sneak over from the far north or the southern continent.

Furthermore, prepare for battle against the Buddhist monks; the flames of war will reignite in the future.

He now has the ability to intercept most enemies at the late Nascent Soul stage, so he speaks with great confidence.

As time goes by, the cultivation world will recover quickly. In at most three hundred years, the Buddhist cultivation world and the Central Continent cultivation world will inevitably have a war.

Other continents are very likely to be forced to participate, so we should prepare for the worst.

"As you command, I will convene a meeting and discuss countermeasures with other disciples."

Master, can we make it public that you've broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage?

Lin Lan asked, "If you want your fellow disciples to feel a sense of urgency, you must emphasize that your master will leave in a few hundred years."

"Announce it."

As Ji An spoke, he led his disciples out of the cave. After waving his hand, he released a burst of golden light that seemed to leap across the ground. His body transformed into a rainbow, stretching across the sky like a beautiful rainbow, and he quickly flew out of the disciples' sight.

Like the Chaos Five Elements Thunder, this spell is affected by all Dao Seeds and Five Directional Flags Spiritual Treasures. Anyone who was promoted ahead of time in the past can immediately manifest this effect.

Wei Baiyang's mind was still in a daze. He looked at his senior sisters and brothers and asked:

When should we inform Master of the news?

Lin Lan looked up at the height of the sun and said:

"Tomorrow I will first visit True Lord Haoran and True Lord Chiyan to hear their opinions."

After midnight, Ji An finally flew to the Land of Extinction. The first thing he did was to gather all the flying puppets, count their numbers, and check the images they had recorded, making sure not a single one was missed.

By the time all this was done, dawn had broken.

Having found no enemy infiltration, Ji An was relieved. He divided the puppets into day and night groups, and then flew to the Land of Annihilation to begin a new round of spellcasting.

His method was different from before. He determined some nodes on the boundary between the transformed land and the land of absolute desolation, and released the wrath of the earth to create "artificial lakes".

Then he made a hand seal to unleash the Dragon Soaring and All Things Grow, and filled the lake with spiritual rain.

This rainwater can slowly seep in, thus accelerating the transformation of the desolate land into normal land.

He then used magic to create many small ponds, and after releasing the dragon, all things came to life, and the rainwater would fill the ponds with water.

Ji An discovered that the transformation of the Desolate Land was like a collision of Yin and Yang forces. Initially, it was a desolate and yin-dominant place, devoid of any life.

The transformation process involves continuously injecting the yang energy, which represents life, into this place; that is, spiritual energy.

When the yin energy in the Land of Extinction is exhausted, the yang energy, which is suitable for life, will take the lead, and then the transformation will be complete.

If you continue to cast spells on the transformed land, it will not necessarily create a spiritual vein; it can only create land rich in spiritual energy.

If the spell is interrupted, the spiritual energy in the land will dissipate within a short period of time.

Spiritual veins are the most mysterious things formed in nature. Cultivators can cultivate a miniature spiritual vein to the fourth level, but they cannot artificially cultivate a spiritual vein.

East China Sea, Mingyue Island.

From the sky, the island resembles a crescent moon, hence its name.

The Moon Worship Hall is located in the northern part of the island. It is extremely luxurious with its carved beams and painted rafters. At this moment, the hall is full of people, all of whom are Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Red Moon True Monarch surveyed the entire area with his gaze, and said in a deep voice:
"The Zhenyue Zhenjun and Huayin Zhenjun of the Taixu Sect have come to visit us together. They have brought a request from the sects of Zhongzhou, hoping to get our assistance to jointly defeat the Buddhist cultivators of the Western Continent."

I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on what the next step should be.

The once-powerful cultivation world of Central Continent suffered heavy losses during the True Demon Calamity, and now it faces the upheaval of the Buddhist sects. It is uncertain whether it can regain its former glory.

Thinking of this, he felt very sad.

"Of course, we should remain unchanged in the face of all changes. I think we should agree to the Taixu Sect's request first, but we can't set a timeframe for sending cultivators to participate in the battle."

Once the war situation becomes clearer, we can then deploy our elite cultivators to seize the spoils of victory. In this way, we can gain enormous benefits at minimal cost.

“That’s not appropriate. Zhongzhou and we have maintained a good relationship for tens of thousands of years. Now that they have repeatedly asked us to fight, if we continue to refuse, it will only wear down our previous friendship.”

"In the past, when we fought against the sea monsters, we were able to hold our line thanks to the strong support from the Central Continent."

"Hehe, don't think too highly of the cultivators from the Central Continent. They need us to act as a shield for the East to prevent the coastal areas from being attacked, which is why they are so supportive of us in the war against the sea beasts."

We fought bloody battles against the sea monsters and owe nothing to the Central Continent.

If the Han Hai Sect feels it needs to repay the Central Continent, then you may do so yourselves.

The scene became noisy, and True Lord Red Moon couldn't help but feel helpless; this was the current state of affairs in the East Sea.

If the cultivation world of the East Sea continues to remain neutral, the requests of the cultivators of the Central Continent will be repeatedly shelved. Whether the cultivators of the Central Continent or the Buddhist cultivators prevail in the future, it will not be a good thing for the cultivation world of the East Sea.

After the Central Continent wins, it's unlikely they will ever assist the East Sea cultivators in fighting the sea beasts again; if the Buddhist cultivators win, the East Sea will likely be their next target.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now the earth in the gourd world is rumbling and trembling.

The lake water in the black spirit field and the magma in the red spirit field bubbled and boiled like boiling water.

The usually gentle wind turned violent, sometimes blowing south and sometimes north, and the branches and leaves of the sacred tree danced in the gale, unable to control their own movements.

Several hours later, the gale subsided.

Ji An felt an even stronger spiritual energy rising from the ground than before. He stepped his divine sense into the ground and his face was filled with a happy smile.

The spiritual vein's grade has been upgraded to the fourth-tier superior grade! After nearly a hundred years of waiting, the clouds have finally parted and the moon has finally appeared.

The enhancement of the spiritual veins means that the time for all spiritual plants to mature will be further shortened, allowing him to obtain various spiritual fruits earlier, and the quality of these fruits will be slightly improved.

The stone turtle can absorb more spiritual energy every day, which will further accelerate the improvement of the grade of various spiritual woods.

He focused his mind on his dantian and connected with the stone tortoise to examine his magical achievements over the years.

[Spell: Lesser Formless Skill (Perfect 18%)]

The Silk-Pulling Spell has been raised to the Great Perfection level, and at its peak, it can control more than seventy puppets to fight at the same time.

Ji An often pondered a question: why couldn't he obtain Daoist essence when the spiritual veins in the Calabash World were upgraded, even though the conditions here were much better than those outside?

Now he felt he had found the answer, because the laws in the small world were not perfect; although the power of the five elements seemed abundant, it actually lacked a "soul".

He sat cross-legged under the tree, slowly exhaled, and began to cultivate the Five Elements Revolving Sutra after calming his mind.

The spiritual energy in the small world surged towards him, quickly converging into a spiritual energy vortex that connected heaven and earth. The five elements of spiritual energy within the spiritual fields and spiritual plants were also drawn out and merged into the vortex, shining brightly like the stars in the sky.

At this moment, Ji An was fully activating his cultivation technique. His Five Elements Divine Palace and all the immortal meridians in his body were like a super-powerful machine, rapidly processing the spiritual energy that was being devoured.

Several hours later, Ji An finished his cultivation and roared to the sky. He no longer needed to suppress himself during cultivation and could unleash his skills to his heart's content.

He did a quick calculation and his cultivation efficiency was nearly double what it used to be! With the support of such a powerful secret technique, the days of his cultivation skyrocketing were coming.

A few days later, after absorbing the Morning Sun Purple Dew, Ji An cast a spell in the Land of Absolute Spirits. The hand seals changed, and yellow spiritual light enveloped the earth.

Then, the hand seals in his hands changed naturally, releasing the power of dragons soaring and all things coming to life.

The clouds, flashing with lightning, rolled and churned. Amidst the roar of dragons, a torrential downpour of spiritual rain fell. 'Crystal-clear jade beads' landed in the pond, on the leaves, and in the soil, each producing a different sound, some crisp and clear, some deep and muffled, forming a three-dimensional symphony.

It now takes about two years to transform a barren land, which is more than three months shorter than before.

He was casting a spell on the land when Qin Yan flew over, sitting cross-legged on his natal spirit treasure.

This magical artifact is a uniquely shaped refining furnace, oval-shaped but slightly flattened, with three legs, and its body is covered with flame-patterned reliefs.

"Senior brother, you have already broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage. Why didn't you inform the sect directly about such an important matter!"

Ten years ago, when he learned that the other party had made a breakthrough, he was bewildered for a long time and even doubted that he was dreaming.

Those lower-level disciples lacked sufficient cultivation, so they couldn't fully appreciate how difficult it was for a Nascent Soul True Monarch to advance their cultivation.

To put it simply, even with ample resources and plenty of pills, some people still don't progress very quickly.

Why? Because if one's understanding of the cultivation method is insufficient, the speed of refining spiritual energy will be slow, and the efficiency of converting resources into cultivation level will be low, so one has to grind it out slowly.

"I didn't originally plan to tell them, but I happened to be chatting with my disciples and they asked about my cultivation level, so I told them."

It also made them ponder a question: 'If one day I am fortunate enough to set foot on the path of the stars, how should my sect respond?'

Ji An's tone shifted, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes:

"Junior brother, you must have brought good news with you this time, right?"

The other party once said that they would only come to him after obtaining enough spiritual items.

"Haha, yes!"

Qin Yan began to speak, and he talked on and on:
"The lightning-struck Azure Dragon Wood was very popular with several True Lords in the far north. They bought it at a good price and exchanged it for something that several True Lords in the southern continent urgently needed."
They had secret dealings with the sea monsters of the South China Sea, and within a few years they had gathered enough aquatic spiritual creatures.

"Great, I'm going to get another top-grade fourth-tier spiritual treasure!"
"Junior brother, please wait a moment. After I cast a spell on this desolate place, we'll return to our cave to rest for the night, and then set off back to the sect tomorrow."

The other party has been flying for a day, so it's not suitable to travel directly from here.

Ji An quickly cast a spell on the land, then led his junior brother back to the simple cave a few dozen miles away and entered the gourd world.

As Qin Yan stepped onto this magical land once more, he immediately felt a surge of rich spiritual energy rushing towards him, and he even experienced a sense of 'compression'.
