Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 922 'The Chosen Land'

A warm, yellow aura spread across the earth, and the divine power that nourishes all things rose from the ground, bringing warmth and comfort.

The magically transformed full moon cast a cool, clear light, making the setting sun pale in comparison, and creating a contrast with the warmth rising from the earth.

Clouds flashing with lightning enveloped the earth, and amidst the roar of dragons, torrential rain poured down, the raindrops radiating a bluish luster, the elements of water and wood intertwined and became indistinguishable.

Ji An shared his experience of transforming the Spirit-Slaying Land without holding back at all.

He wasn't worried about competition from others, because no one could compete with him.

His spells at the Great Perfection level, with their purified magical power, and the resonance between the Dao Seed and the spiritual treasure during casting, make him second to none in terms of spell mastery.

Feeling the rich magical intent spreading through the air, True Monarch Xuanfeng praised:
"Fellow Daoist, your methods are admirable. May I ask which planting spell you think is most important in transforming the Spirit-Severing Land?"

He was grateful that the other party told him the method without hesitation, and the power of the magic released shocked him. However, he only had a deep understanding of the power of water.

"I believe that the Thick Virtue Spirit Transformation Mantra is the most important, and using earth-elemental magic to modify the earth's veins is the best choice."

As you can see, Dragon Soars and All Things Grow is a hybrid spell combining the elements of water and wood. Its function is to provide spiritual energy to nourish the spiritual desert.

Using both spells simultaneously can accelerate the transformation of the Spiritless Land.

The most important spell for upgrading the grade of a spiritual vein is the earth element spell. The Thick Virtue Spirit Evolution Spell is the only earth element planting spell at the Nascent Soul level, and its power is beyond doubt.

Xuanfeng Zhenjun smiled bitterly. He had a very deep understanding of the power of water, but his understanding of the other five elements was far from satisfactory.

For him, it was extremely difficult to master earth magic to the point of perfection, and even more difficult to advance it to the point of great perfection.

"Perhaps this method is not suitable for me right now."

To master magic to a high level, one needs not only a deep understanding of the corresponding five elements, but also years of practice and contemplation.

What he understood most deeply was the power of water, while earth overcomes water.

Ji An neither agreed nor disagreed, but nodded and said:

"I haven't mastered any other methods."

Many cultivators chose to go to the Outer Heavens to capture meteorites, but for him, this method was full of uncertainties. It was more secure to stay here and transform the Land of No Spirits.

The benefits you actually receive are yours; the idea of ​​capturing a meteorite and reaping a massive amount of merit during a period of great fortune can only be realized in dreams.

The two chatted for a while, then Xuanfeng Zhenjun took his leave and flew north, while Ji An flew west and returned to Chiyan Peak when the sun had completely set.

He sent out several golden swords to inform his disciples that he had returned.

The next day, after absorbing the morning dew, Ji An released a golden light that pierced through the soil, rocks, and magical barriers to return to his cave. There, he found Lin Lan waiting outside.

He opened the seal, and Lin Lan stepped forward to greet him. After exchanging pleasantries, the master and disciple took their seats.

"Master, what is the current situation in Central Continent?"

She was very curious. Normally, her master would not return for three years. Now that he had returned ahead of schedule, the situation should be very good.

"Seeing the situation was unfavorable, the Buddhist cultivators secretly fled. Based on the information we have, we speculate that most of them are heading towards the East Sea."

Ji An informed his disciple of the information he had gathered, and said with a smile:

"The alarm is off, we can breathe a sigh of relief."

Judging from the characteristics of the Buddhist cultivators' techniques, if most of the Buddhist cultivators flee, the enemy who has mastered the Divine Foot Technique will also leave.

Without sufficient willpower, the cultivators' practice will be extremely difficult, and the enemy will not remain on the Eastern Continent for revenge.

Lin Lan nodded in agreement and smiled:

"It's so good that you're back now. The sect has encountered a problem, and only your intervention is the most appropriate."

She took out a jade slip and handed it over, then said:

"Demonic energy has been discovered in an area deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains, near the far north. The area of ​​pollution in this region is still slowly expanding outwards. The area where I was attacked by demonic cultivators was nearby."

The map of the area shrouded in demonic energy has been surveyed by True Monarch Haoran and True Monarch Wuyue, and has been marked in red.

Within the sect, only the Five Sacred Mountains True Monarch possesses the ability to purify demonic energy, but he estimates it would take him over twenty years to completely eliminate it.

Since the sect became a dominant force in the Western Continent, there are many more issues to consider.

Take this area contaminated by demonic energy, for example. If it were before, they wouldn't have asked any questions. But now they have to consider the long-term implications and eliminate potential dangers. They can't let things spiral out of control.

Ji An read the information from the jade slip and said:
"After resting for a day, I will set off for the Ten Thousand Mountains. I will bring the Five Sacred Mountains True Lords with me."

Purifying areas contaminated by demonic energy would also yield Xuanhuang merit energy, so he agreed without hesitation. After a moment's thought, he added:
"After the Buddhist cultivators leave, the cultivation world will enter a period of peace. Let's seize the time to improve our sect's foundation as quickly as possible."

His cultivation level is steadily improving, and a large number of fourth-grade high-quality spiritual fruits, mulberries from the Fusang tree, and five-colored flowers in the gourd world will ripen one after another.

He has a great deal of confidence that he can break through to the perfect level of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years at most, which means that he only has a hundred years left to stay in the sect.

Lin Lan nodded solemnly, "Junior Brother Zhang said that if the relevant materials can be supplied in sufficient quantities, the sect's spiritual vein grade may be raised to the middle grade of the fourth rank within two or three hundred years, which will allow more Nascent Soul cultivators to cultivate at the sect."

The Hall of Agriculture continued to grow and expand, and most of the halls benefited from it, either directly or indirectly.

The sect currently has sufficient resources for lower-level disciples, allowing them to progress step by step to the late Golden Core stage, while more outstanding disciples are able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

In the desolate land of Jue Ling, a few patches of green have appeared amidst the rolling yellow sand.

On a hill covered with sparse green vegetation, the Pure Moon Monk King pointed to a pond about two acres in size and said:

"Senior brother, water can now remain on the surface for a long time, and in two more years the population will experience explosive growth."

His tone was full of pride; the most difficult pioneering period was over, and the coming year would be better than the last.

As long as we can gain a foothold here, we may develop a power that will terrify cultivators in the future.

The eyes of the Venerable Jingci Monk gleamed, and he spoke with righteous indignation:
"Junior brother has found a undisturbed place for everyone. Let's quietly accumulate strength and in the future we will definitely seek justice from those cultivators."

Cultivators need spiritual energy to cultivate, and this vast, spiritually barren land is the chosen place for them. No cultivator would notice that a small town has been born here.

As time goes by, this place will be transformed into a Buddhist domain far larger than before.

He was filled with emotion. His junior brother's superhuman speed combined with the small world was a perfect match. If they deliberately avoided it, the cultivators would never know that they had come here.

The Venerable Jingyue nodded repeatedly, “This humble monk will never forget the sacrifices made by many Venerables to spread the glory of the Buddha. The enemy must pay for their crimes in blood. Only by entering Avici Hell to repent can they cleanse their sins.”

The Venerable Jingci agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "As long as we develop, we can separate the Western Continent and the Central Continent, and then defeat the enemy one by one."

A sinister smile crept across his lips. "Junior brother, have you planted the Golden Lotus of Merit?"

"I have already planted it. I really hope to accumulate enough merit to nourish the golden lotus and then refine it into an external avatar to protect me from disasters."

The monk Jingci's tone became cheerful, "Junior brother, don't panic. According to the information I have received, turning this barren land into an oasis will directly reward you with merit."

As dusk fell, the crimson-gold clouds painted the sky like a turbulent sea.

When Ji An and the Five Sacred Mountains True Lord arrived at the edge of the polluted area, the birds in the mountains and forests called to each other and returned to their nests, their clear chirping making the area exceptionally tranquil.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord pointed to the area shrouded in black demonic energy and said:

"Your Majesty, I haven't thoroughly searched the underground part of this area. My guess is that there's an unclosed demon cave connecting to the True Demon Realm. Do you need my help in searching it?"

Standing outside the demonic energy, one can sense the twisted malice and madness hidden within. This demonic realm was discovered too late, and many plants and animals are more adapted to the demonic energy.

Even if it is purified, the spiritual veins of this land will probably dissipate.

Ji An nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Of course I need your help. I will use magic to burn down this forest. You keep an eye on things and make sure it doesn't start a forest fire."

Once the demonic energy was burned away, we split up to search for the demon's lair.

A forest fire under normal circumstances can help rebuild the entire ecosystem, but a fire started by a monk is a catastrophe.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord nodded, "No problem."

Ji An flew above the black mist, his hand seals changing gracefully and rapidly as he unleashed the Heaven-Burning Flame.

The Bing-Ding Fire Seed and the Lidi Flame Banner each emitted spiritual light, merging with magical power and increasing the power of the spell.

The purple fiery cloud descended, and the demonic energy was immediately incinerated by the scorching light of the magic, stirring up black residue. As the flames dissipated, the residue fell off like black grains of salt.

His hand gestures shifted smoothly like flowing water, possessing a unique beauty.

This time, the Vermilion Bird Profound Brightness Technique was released, which uses the characteristics of planting magic to allow the fire element divine intent to remain for a long time, burning away the demonic energy.

Ji An summoned the Plain Cloud Banner, the Profound Origin Water Control Banner, the Azure Lotus Banner, and the Five Elements Divine Mountain, and instructed them:
"You few, do as the Five Sacred Mountains True Lords instruct, and do not act on your own."

He kept the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag by his side for defense, and he also needed to use the Ground Flame Flag when casting spells; otherwise, he would have sent them all out at once.

The spirit treasures have already taken human form, possess considerable intelligence, and are able to understand commands.

The White Tiger and Azure Dragon love to show off; when the roars of the dragon and the howls of the tiger resound, the wind and clouds surge in an instant.
