Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 59 A Win-Win Situation: Headquarters

Without the suppression and influence of the blood-fiend karma, the gloom that lingered over their Dao hearts dissipated completely. They were no longer unable to comprehend the Dao and cultivate, no longer had distracting thoughts, and no longer felt the constant threat of going astray. Their future was no longer shrouded in darkness and despair.

Moreover, they can earn a lot of merit, which helps them in their cultivation, giving them hope for further progress and a promising future on their path.

How could they not be moved to tears?

Of course, Yuan Yan and the other three gave the power of the origin of heaven and earth transformed by the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Array to their twenty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals to help them quickly repair the earth veins of the Western Continent and speed up the process of accumulating merit. This seemed to be giving up their own interests to benefit others.

But in reality, this was not the case. Yuan Yan and the other three did not lose anything at all; on the contrary, they benefited greatly.

Because those twenty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals had already made a Heavenly Oath to submit to Yuan Yan and his companions, the more merit they gained and the stronger they became, the more Yuan Yan and his group's power actually increased.

Moreover, their restoration of the Western Continent's ley lines was entirely in accordance with the instructions of Yuan Yan and the other three. The very foundation upon which they relied to quickly restore the Western Continent's ley lines—the power of the origin of heaven and earth—was also provided by Yuan Yan and the other three.

Heaven's way is impartial, and cause and effect are evident. The distribution of merit will naturally be based on contribution, which is quite obvious. Yuan Yan and the other three made greater contributions.

Therefore, after the earth veins are repaired, Yuan Yan and the other three will receive 80% of the merit bestowed by Heaven, while the twenty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals who painstakingly repaired the earth veins of the Western Continent will only receive 20%.

Since Yuan Yan and the other three do not need to personally repair the ley lines of the Western Continent, they can devote more time and energy to setting up more Heaven and Earth Returning Origin Arrays.

This not only yields a continuous stream of merit after setting up the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Grand Array, but also allows one to obtain the lion's share of the merit from repairing the earth veins. It can help the Great Luo Golden Immortals under one's command earn merit to eliminate karma or improve their cultivation level, making them wholeheartedly devoted to one another—this can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, Yuan Yan and the other three naturally did not lose money; on the contrary, they made a huge profit!

Moreover, it was also thanks to the diligent work of the group of Great Luo Golden Immortals under his command.

Currently, although the ley lines of the western continent in the primordial world are far from being fully restored, a significant portion has already been repaired, allowing nearly one-twentieth of the western continent to regain its vitality.

This earned Yuan Yan and his three companions recognition from the Western Continent, and brought them good fortune.

Of course, Yuan Yan and his powerful subordinates repaired the earth veins of the Western Continent, which revitalized nearly one-twentieth of the Western Continent.

However, this does not mean that these areas have recovered to their peak condition.

If we say that the innate spiritual energy and Daoist inspiration in these restored areas of the Western Continent at their peak were one hundred...

After Luo self-destructed the ley lines of the Western Continent, the innate spiritual energy and Daoist spiritual energy in these areas dropped to between one and ten depending on the degree of damage to the ley lines. Moreover, as the original source of the shattered ley lines continued to flow away and could no longer absorb and transform chaotic energy, the innate spiritual energy and Daoist spiritual energy in these areas continued to decline.

After they repaired it, the innate spiritual energy and Daoist essence of those areas were twenty to fifty times higher. Moreover, as the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Array continuously absorbed and refined the chaotic energy, and as the earth's veins continued to recover, it continued to recover.

Furthermore, after Luo detonated the ley lines of the western continent, nearly 60 percent of the western continent, centered on the ancestral vein of Mount Sumeru, was affected.

Apart from a section of the ancestral vein of Mount Sumeru, which maintains life in a small part of the area, the rest of the land veins were completely blasted into nothingness, with very little innate spiritual energy, Daoist charm, or spiritual vitality, leaving the area desolate.

These areas don't even have fragments of broken ley lines, making restoration extremely difficult.

In particular, the ancestral vein of Mount Sumeru and many other top-grade innate earth veins are distributed in these areas, which are the essence of the Western Continent and are more important than all the other earth veins of the Western Continent combined.

Unless the ancestral veins of Mount Sumeru and many other top-grade innate earth veins can be restored, even if earth veins are forcibly developed in these areas to restore their vitality, these areas will never be able to return to their peak state.

It is extremely difficult to develop earth veins from scratch in these areas, let alone restore the ancestral veins of Mount Sumeru and many other top-quality innate earth veins.

That would be difficult even for a saint!

Or even if it were possible, it would require a tremendous amount of time, energy, and resources.

As for having Yuan Yan and the others come here?

Unless Yuan Yan and his companions can attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal or become saints in the future, it is simply impossible, even if it takes ten kalpas.

Gently shaking his head, Yuan Yan cleared his mind of all distractions, stood up, left the Yin-Yang Source Pool, waved his sleeve, opened the domain gate, and headed towards the Taijue Mountains in the Western Continent and the Yingzhou Immortal Island.

Yes, that's right, it's the Taijue Mountains in the western continent, the fairy island of Yingzhou.

After Yuanling cultivated a large number of Taiyi Golden Immortals through his ten avatars, he sent them to various parts of the Western Continent to oversee the operation of the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Array.

They realized that leaving Yingzhou Immortal Island in the boundless void was somewhat inconvenient.

Therefore, Yuanjie and his group used the boundary marker of Yingzhou Immortal Island to control Yingzhou Immortal Island to leave the boundless void and manifest above the Taijue Mountains in the western continent.

At the same time, they returned to Yin Yang Cave Heaven and, through the boundary marker of Yin Yang Cave Heaven, moved the domain gate for entering and exiting Yin Yang Cave Heaven from Buzhou Mountain to Yingzhou Immortal Island.

Yingzhou Fairy Island is now their main base.

After leaving the Yin-Yang Grotto and entering the Immortal Island of Yingzhou, Yuan Yan knew without even needing to deduce that the time for preaching the Dao in each Yuanhui was approaching.

At this moment, reflecting on the past hundred-plus eons, Yuan Yan felt slightly embarrassed that he had entrusted all affairs to Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling while he himself reaped the benefits and only received merit and fortune.

Considering that he had just finished his seclusion and was temporarily unable to break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, and that he did not plan to go out to seek out many Daluo Golden Immortals to discuss the Dao, he did not plan to go into seclusion again for the time being.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Yan decided to stay on Yingzhou Immortal Island for a while.

While preaching and guiding the cultivators under his command, he also reflected on himself, looking for an opportunity to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Yuan Yan intends to preach, and Yuan Lun, whose turn it is to preach in this Yuan Hui, will naturally not refuse.

He has preached to Yuanjie and Yuanling many times. This time, he has replaced Yuanyan with Yuanyan, which may inspire many of his cultivators.

Several hundred years later, more than a dozen Great Golden Immortals returned to Yingzhou Immortal Island from the outside world.

They collected the Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators who had been prepared beforehand, tore through the void, and sent them to various places in the Western Continent. They also brought back the cultivators who planned to return to Yingzhou Immortal Island to cultivate.

In less than a month, more than a dozen Great Luo Golden Immortals completed their mission.

Moreover, this involves many Taiyi Golden Immortals changing their defenses and replacing the main formation leader of the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Grand Formation, which will take some time. Otherwise, they might be able to complete the task in less than a month.
