Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 462 Huangtian Dao Palace
On the western edge of Lanque Mountain, nine water columns swept across the sky, washing away the dust and smoke that filled the air.

At the same time, influenced by the convergence of the Nine Abysses, the water veins of the desert became interconnected and transformed into a whole. At the moment the nine towering water columns collapsed, the sea of ​​sand sank, and a lake stretching for thousands of miles began to take shape.

High in the sky, suppressing the evil spirits with one hand, Jiang Chen took in all these changes.

"In the Western Regions, evil energy rises and water veins wither. Under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult to draw water veins to form a true spiritual lake. However, with the Nine Abyss Returning Flow Lamp, it is different."

"The Nine Abyss Returning Flow Lamp contains nine water veins. Now that I have driven this treasure into the depths of the sand sea, it will naturally have the foundation to gather the scattered water veins from all directions and open up the spirit lake. Moreover, as time goes by, more and more water veins will gather here due to the pull of the Nine Abyss Returning Flow Lamp."

"Of course, the reason why the opening of the Spirit Lake was so smooth this time is also due to going with the flow. If the sandstorm hadn't disrupted the power of this world, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to let the water veins of the Nine Abyss Returning Flow Lamp take root here smoothly."

With his divine eye shining upon it, Jiang Chen saw the deepest part of the Spirit Lake, where nine water veins coiled like true dragons, exhaling and exhaling massive amounts of water vapor.

As the Linghu Lake was completed, a large amount of water vapor rose into the sky, and the air became humid at a visible speed.

Whoosh! At one moment, a strong wind blew, stirring up the moist air, and a heavy rain fell again, cleansing the sky.

The rain came quickly and went quickly. When it was all over, the sky was clear and blue, the sun was brighter than ever before, and new green shoots were sprouting on the ground, turning into a green carpet of grass that complemented the blue lake.

On Mount Lanque, the cultivators were stunned by this scene.

Blue sky, white clouds, grassland, lakes—such a scene seems ordinary, but it shouldn't appear in the Western Regions at all. For a moment, everyone unconsciously developed a sense of disorientation.

"The desert has transformed into a placid lake; it is no exaggeration to say that this has brought about a complete transformation."

A sigh expressed everyone's feelings. The development of events had once again exceeded their expectations. What was originally just resisting disaster and fighting for a sliver of hope had now directly changed the world and turned harm into benefit.

While everyone was still immersed in the earth-shattering power, Nianhua was the first to react and turned her gaze to Jiang Chen, who stood in the sky, wearing a mysterious robe, golden boots, a jade crown, and holding the Primordial Qi Banner.

"Now that the calamity has been quelled and the great formation has been activated, I would like to ask you, junior brother, to name the immortal city?"

With her hands clasped together, Nianhua bowed deeply to Jiang Chen's figure.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators present immediately realized that having quelled the calamity and established a great formation, they had truly gained a foothold in the Western Regions, and it was indeed time to formally decide on the name of the Immortal City.

"I humbly request my senior brother to bestow a name upon me!"

They bowed deeply, their voices rising like a tidal wave.

Under these circumstances, Jiang Chen lowered his gaze.

With the opening of Linghu Lake, Lanque Mountain now seems to be a towering peak standing by the lake, connecting the lake and the sea below and reaching the clouds above. The city built against the mountain is decorated with clouds of varying thickness, half-hidden and half-revealed. Standing in it, it feels as if you can reach out and embrace the sea of ​​clouds. Under the sunlight, it has a rather poetic atmosphere.

"The mountains connect heaven and earth, and one can climb to the peak and embrace the clouds. Let's call this city the Cloud-Embracing City."

After a moment's thought, Jiang Chen named the newly born immortal city, and the spirit lake was named Burial Sand Lake, revealing a hint of ambition when he named its origin.

As Jiang Chen finalized the name of the Immortal City, everyone was overjoyed. The naming of the Immortal City seemed ordinary, but it symbolized that their pioneering efforts had entered a new stage. Most importantly, through this event, they saw a bright future.

Looking at the crowd, Jiang Chen nodded.

"With the people's hearts at large and this momentum in place, the expansion of Lanyun City should proceed much more smoothly."

"At least they've seen my methods, and some forces will probably choose to increase their investment." With this thought, Jiang Chen concealed himself. He had done what he needed to do, and the remaining trivial matters would naturally be left to others.

In the following period, the construction of Lanyun City began to accelerate, with one first-order grand formation after another being erected, becoming a new link in the grand formation system of Lanyun City, making the grand formation of Lanyun City more and more complete.

At the same time, the development of spiritual fields and the planning of spiritual lakes are proceeding in an orderly manner. The actual amount of land reclaimed is much higher than expected. It can be said that the development of spiritual lakes has completely changed the ecology near Lanyun City, making this originally barren land show some signs of abundance.

Of course, while some are happy, others are worried. As news spread that Jiang Chen had quelled the sandstorm and opened up the Spirit Lake, some eyes in the depths of the desert turned to Lanyun City.

In a ghostly underground palace deep in the desert, a figure sat on a throne. He was dressed in a black robe, with black hair and black eyes, a long and thin face, and skin as pale as paper. He exuded an extremely cold aura, more like a ghost than a living person.

At this moment, a ray of light appeared before him, reflecting the scene of the sandstorm that struck Lanque Mountain.

At one point, seeing the spring thunder defeat the enemy and cleanse the filth, a hint of interest appeared on his pale face.

"Thunder magic, this disciple of the Impermanence Sect is indeed quite capable. Of course, what attracts me most is his powerful soul force. That person was not lying to me after all; he is indeed a person with an alien soul."

“Otherworldly beings are rare to begin with, and those as powerful as this are even rarer. It’s no exaggeration to say that they are exceptionally gifted. If this were the Fang Tianyu I knew before, such a person would probably have been accepted into a major sect as a core successor long ago. Of course, he might also have become some ghost cultivator’s nourishment.”

Realizing the power of Jiang Chen's innate divine soul, Bai Cangzi inevitably felt a surge of greed.

He walks the path of ghost cultivation, and people like Jiang Chen, who are born with different souls, are a great tonic for him.

At that very moment, another ray of light silently entered the underground palace.

"Bai Cang, your plan has failed."

A cold voice rang out, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

Bai Cangzi didn't take these words to heart.

“Xinyi, isn’t this what we expected? This was just a test. If Jiang Chen were so easy to deal with, you wouldn’t have come to me.”

With a series of cold laughs, Bai Cangzi didn't care about Xin Yi's anger at all. Seeing Bai Cangzi's attitude, Xin Yi's anger subsided quietly.

"Don't forget our cooperation. Without us, you could never have lived peacefully in the Western Regions for so many years."

Leaving behind a single sentence, the last vestige of Xinyi's will vanished silently.

Seeing this scene, Bai Cangzi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Cooperation? Ha, once I find the Yellow Heaven Dao Palace and accumulate enough strength, I will turn you into a ghost the moment I see you."

"With the Yellow Heaven Dao Palace in hand, what if the Impermanence Sect or Gu Lingxiao come knocking on our door? At worst, I'll just leave this Tianyu. I don't believe you'll dare to chase me all the way to the Tongyou Realm."

With a cold snort, Bai Cangzi's figure disappeared.

Although he coveted Jiang Chen's alien soul, he would never go directly to him at this time. Although Xin Yi didn't say it, he knew that Jiang Chen's status in the Wuchang Sect must be quite high. If Jiang Chen died at this time, it would likely cause a lot of trouble, which was not what he wanted to see.

Of course, he had no intention of letting Jiang Chen go. To him, Jiang Chen was a great medicinal herb. With his own talent, if he wanted to advance further, he couldn't afford to miss such a great herb as Jiang Chen. Everything still needed a suitable opportunity.
