Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 43 The Mountain-Driving Whip: Moral Blackmail

Suddenly, the void twisted, and Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanling stepped out, their auras concealed, and stood above the mountain range, looking down at the vast mountain land below.

Yuan Lun's gaze swept over the endless mountain ranges below, then turned to Yuan Jie beside him, asking, "Yuan Jie, you traveled the Western Continent for tens of thousands of years dozens of eons ago, so you have a certain understanding of it. This trip should rightfully be arranged by you. You brought us here directly; surely you already have a plan in mind?"

"Not bad." Yuan Jie nodded slightly, his expression becoming solemn. He said in a deep voice, "The Western Continent has suffered a great calamity and is now devastated. You do not know the details, so I will explain it to you in detail."

"In the past, the earth veins of the Western Continent were centered on the ancestral vein of Mount Sumeru. From the ancestral vein, nine top-grade innate earth veins extended, along with hundreds of high-grade innate earth veins, hundreds of mid-grade innate earth veins, thousands of low-grade innate earth veins, and countless branch veins."

"Together, these elements weave a vast network of earth veins covering the entire western continent. This network constantly draws upon and refines chaotic energy through the boundless void, transforming it into innate spiritual energy and Daoist spiritual energy. This energy then gushes forth from the innate spiritual caves scattered throughout the western continent, nourishing the entire continent and making the whole world abundant in innate spiritual energy and rich in Daoist spiritual energy."

"But ever since Luo used the ancestral vein of Mount Sumeru as the core of the formation to detonate the earth veins of the entire Western Continent, everything has been destroyed. He not only destroyed most of the ancestral vein of Mount Sumeru, causing its grade to drop directly, but also caused all the earth veins connected to the ancestral vein to suffer calamity and heavy damage."

"The degree of damage to the earth's veins is closely related to the distance and connection with the ancestral vein of Mount Sumeru. The closer the distance and the deeper the connection, the more thorough the damage."

"Now, in the central region of the Western Continent, apart from the Sumeru Mountain ancestral vein, which has been greatly reduced in quality and is in dire need of repair, all the other earth veins have been blown into nothingness. There are no earth vein spiritual caves spewing out innate spiritual energy, Daoist rhyme and spiritual energy. That area, apart from Sumeru Mountain, has become a desolate land with extremely thin innate spiritual energy, Daoist rhyme and spiritual energy."

"As for the four directions of the western continent, the state of the earth veins is uneven: some have been completely reduced to ashes, some are broken and in ruins, with the source of the earth veins flowing outwards continuously, some are partially broken and partially still exist; only a very few have barely remained intact."

"But those that are completely intact are extremely rare; there isn't even a single top-grade innate earth vein."

"The majestic and continuous mountain range beneath our feet contains the highest-grade and least damaged ley lines in the Western Continent, apart from the ancestral ley lines of Mount Sumeru."

"This is a top-grade innate earth vein. Although it is partially broken and damaged, it is connected to a section of a remaining, broken, supreme-grade innate earth vein, and is linked to dozens of mid-grade and low-grade innate earth veins. It is definitely the most beautiful place in the Western Continent besides Mount Sumeru."

.

"We want to establish our dojo in the western continent, and this place is undoubtedly the best choice. There is no other place that can compare to it."

As for Mount Sumeru? That is the birthplace of Zhunti and Jieyin, and their destined place of practice. It is not something he can simply occupy as he pleases.

Yuan Jie paused, looked at the mountains in front of him, and added, "This mountain range is the Taijue Mountain Range."

"The Taijue Mountains?"

"Indeed, Tai means the extreme and the beginning, symbolizing the beginning of chaos and the origin of the Dao. Jue means the enlightenment of the Dao and the awakening of nature, symbolizing the innate true enlightenment, the thorough understanding of the Dao heart, and the illumination of the origin of all things. It is indeed qualified to become our Dao site."

After praising it, Yuanling asked again, "Yuanjie, do you know the location of the core spiritual cave in the Taijue Mountains?"

Although the Taijue Mountains are extraordinary, they stretch for countless billions of miles, and they cannot see the end of them at a glance. It is not a place where they can establish their dojo.

Their temples must be built on the core spiritual cave of the Taijue Mountains, only then are they qualified to be supported and gather fortune.

"I don't know!" Yuan Jie shook his head slightly.

A core spiritual cave of a primordial earth vein is not so easy to find. The higher the grade of the primordial earth vein, the more difficult it is. It can be called a blessed land. Although not every place nurtures primordial spiritual treasures or primordial spiritual roots, it must contain many rare and precious materials.

If it were really that easy to find, then all the innate spiritual treasures, innate spiritual roots, and rare materials nurtured by the primordial land would have been taken long ago.

However, in an instant, Yuan Jie said again: "Although I do not know the location of the core spiritual cave of the Taijue Mountain Range, it would be difficult to deduce the secrets of heaven. But if we repair the damaged and broken parts of the Taijue Mountain Range, we will surely gain the recognition of the Taijue Mountain Range and be blessed with its fortune."

"At that time, finding the core spiritual cave of the Taijue Mountains will naturally be a piece of cake!"

Of course, there is another method: that is, to connect with heaven and earth through one's own Great Dao and search and explore inch by inch, but this is not only time-consuming, but also not guaranteed to find it.

Because if there is an innate grand formation hidden at the location of the core spiritual cave of the Taijue Mountains, making it inaccessible to them, they might not be able to find it.

Therefore, the metaverse is not even mentioned!

"Good!" Yuan Lun and Yuan Ling nodded in unison. Their cultivation level and knowledge were no less than those of Yuan Jie. What Yuan Jie knew, they naturally knew as well. They naturally knew that this was the best choice!

"Yuan Lun, it's up to you now!" Yuan Jie and Yuan Ling turned their gazes to Yuan Lun.

Although Yuan Jie knew that some of the earth veins in the Taijue Mountains were damaged and broken, there was more than one damaged and broken place. He only had a rough understanding of it before. If he were to deduce and investigate, it would definitely take a lot of effort.

Yuan Lun, however, is different. He wields the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Mountain-Driving Whip, which allows him to sense the direction of the earth's veins and manipulate their power. With this whip, he can fully perceive where the earth's veins in the Taijue Mountains are blocked or damaged.

Yuan Lun did not answer, but simply nodded slightly. With a thought, the Mountain-Driving Whip appeared in his hand.

"Whoosh!" Yuan Lun's body surged with the power of the Great Dao, which flowed into the Mountain-Driving Whip. With a gentle flick, the long whip was filled with the profound power of the Great Dao, connecting and activating the earth veins of the Taijue Mountain Range.

In an instant, Yuan Lun felt a mysterious sensation. With just a wave of his hand, he could mobilize the power of the Taijue Mountain range's veins to defend against enemies. He could even use the power of the mountains and veins to condense a phantom of the Taijue Mountain range to defend against or smash into enemies.

Moreover, if he were strong enough, he could make the entire Taijue Mountain Range rise from the ground and use it as a shield or weapon.

If the enemy breaks through or even destroys the Taijue Mountains and its ley lines, both sides will be burdened with karma.

This means that if he encounters an enemy he cannot defeat, he can use the Mountain-Driving Whip to connect and control the surrounding mountains, bringing many mountains to his front.

Want to kill him?

Destroy the mountains and rivers first, then we'll talk; let's all enjoy the karmic burden together first! This is practically the same kind of moral blackmail as the Earth Book!
