Shulong Daojun

Great changes occur in the world, though they may occur in a short time, their effects last forever.

This region is not without its upheavals and chaos, as well as its prosperity and flourishing; all of these things ultimately fall upon the people.

There is no peace, no tranquility.

Therefore, the people suffer when the country prospers, and they suffer when the country falls.

Relieving suffering and rescuing those in distress is the fundamental vow of Taoism.

The continent has been divided for four or five days. At times, earth immortals fly around, moving mountains, opening rivers, and building roads, using their own methods to quell the chaos that is rising everywhere.

They also often took the opportunity to mend cracks in the ground, repair official roads, and ram small paths, doing things that were convenient for the people.

The people were moved by this, and the story spread far and wide, making him famous overnight.

Some locals offered him food, clothing, and other necessities, but the immortal waved his hand and politely declined, saying with a smile, "I am acting on the orders of Yi Xuan, the head of the Daoist sect. It is my duty, there is no need for such treatment."

Therefore, Yi Xuan's name spread far and wide, and he became known throughout the continent.

However, the news did not reach Qingwu City.

Thanks to the stable earth veins beneath the city and the balance of pure and impure energy, the people in the city only heard a slight tremor. They were slightly surprised, paid their respects to the righteous god, and then went about their farming and sericulture.

As usual, Lin Shu sat upright on the throne, reading the reports from Qi Yannian and others.

The two dragons, Qingmin and Zhuyin, who were usually so noisy and playful, were now quietly bowing their heads and waiting patiently.

After a long while, Lin Shu murmured to himself:

"My Uncle Shouzheng told me not to act impulsively, but to cultivate with a calm mind. He assured me that my master would take care of things and everything would be fine."

It is clear that Yi Xuan is ultimately the leader of the Taoist sect, and he knows what he should and should not do, and that his bottom line cannot be crossed.

But this person, who is willing to abandon personal feelings with his fellow disciples and seek revenge against a tyrant, who knows what the future holds?

Once you're able to cooperate with the Demonic Sect, it's inevitable that there will be a second and a third time...

Thinking of this, Lin Shu stopped speaking, his brows furrowed, and his already heavy heart sank even further.

With his master in the hands of such people, he was undoubtedly in grave danger.

He is currently unconscious, and his future is uncertain.

When Uncle Shouzheng left on the cloud that day, he also made a request to go to Taiyi Yuanchen Sect to take care of things, but was politely refused on the grounds that a righteous god needs to protect the land and water under his jurisdiction at all times, and stayed in Qingwu City.

Ultimately, one cannot have both loyalty and duty.

But now that I think about it, it was also a painstaking effort by my Uncle Shouzheng to protect him in secret.

The Taiyi Yuanchen Sect has become a place rife with undercurrents.

Although Uncle Shouzheng and others harbored resentment towards Yi Xuan, they still valued relationships and adhered to the rules, and would follow orders in important matters.

Those newly promoted Earth Immortals, judging from their words and actions, already follow Yi Xuan's lead without question.

However, there are also people like Uncle Xuanzheng who disapprove of Yi Xuan's methods.

Now that the continent has been divided into four regions, and the overall structure is still undetermined, there must be many important matters within the Taiyi Yuanchen Sect that require a meeting.

It is inevitable that disagreements and misunderstandings will arise due to differing ideas.

If he, a disciple of the Immortal Rank, were to be within the Taiyi Yuanchen Sect, he would likely be affected and suffer.

This is clearly a turbulent time.

However, this is also the time when things are most likely to succeed.

After a moment's thought, Lin Shu took out the miniature model of the earth veins from his storage bag and examined it closely.

This gift from Cen An, combined with the current situation, has become the most suitable aid for him to improve his cultivation.

After the continent split apart, even with the protection of the magic array, it could not prevent the damage to the ley lines, and naturally, large areas of the ley lines were destroyed.

Not to mention those already extremely weak ley lines.

After such a great upheaval, it was probably already filled with the turbid and dead air from the ground, turning it into a barren wasteland.

This environment is simply the perfect place for the growth of the Candle Shade.

Before long, Lin Shu found a place on the miniature earth vein model that was relatively close to Qingwu City and had a relatively large earth vein crack.

He silently memorized it, then put away the model, his gaze falling on Zhuyin, which he stroked with his hand, and he smiled:

"These next few days, study the art of shrinking with Qingmin. Once you've mastered it, I'll take you to a nice place."

But before that, let's take a stroll in the Dragon-Nourishing Pot.

Having said that, he rolled up his sleeve and tucked the excitedly grinning Zhuyin into it.

He then moved swiftly, using his divine power to sense the earth's veins, and headed towards a place where turbid energy was accumulating.

Then, Lin Shu stepped on the steps of Yu and blew air, shrinking the candle shadow to half an inch in size.

He then used the power of his divine position to stabilize the Dragon-Nourishing Pot, drew in the turbid flow, and returned directly to the rear hall.

He slightly raised his hand and summoned Qingmin to give him a few words of advice.

He lit several sticks of incense, pondered for a while, and then sent a message to Qi Yannian and others, explaining the affairs for the next half month and making arrangements.

Finally, I would like to add: I have recently had some insights and will soon be going into seclusion for cultivation. Unless there is an urgent matter, please do not disturb me.

Beside it, in the dragon-raising pot.

Qingmin protected himself with the power of the Earth God, shrinking to the size of an inch, and gently hissed in the turbid stream, wholeheartedly teaching Zhuyin all his knowledge of shrinking techniques.

Zhuyin also studied diligently.

Although it still maintained its arrogant appearance, it would occasionally murmur in agreement, nodding its dragon head.

Its body sometimes grows large and sometimes small; when its tail moves, it stirs up the turbid current, creating small waves.

Perhaps it was because he was born with four claws, possessed extraordinary talent, and had a good teacher like Qingmin to guide him.

A day later, Zhuyin was able to change size at will, growing to a size of fifteen zhang, and proudly looked down on all the small things around it.

Seeing this, Lin Shu did not interrupt Zhu Yin's interest.

After a while, Fang said softly, "Let's go, follow the direction of Qingwu City's geological veins, and head south."

After saying that, he gave Qingmin a few more instructions and patted its forehead.

Immediately, a thought struck him, and he unleashed the Mysterious Female Technique, his face blurring in an instant.

Once the magic faded, Lin Shu's thoughts shifted dramatically, his aura turning sinister. Coupled with that unfamiliar face, he was now a completely different person.

Zhuyin's dragon eyes widened in surprise, filled with curiosity, yet it still remembered Lin Shu's words and obediently lowered its dragon head.

As soon as it felt a weight on its head, it immediately condensed its body into a cloud of turbid mist, which then solidified into the shape of a turbid flow of earth veins. It then wrapped around the Scale Book and disappeared underground together.

It blends seamlessly with the earth's energy, and once it discerns its direction, it follows the earth's veins to stealthily disappear into the distance.

Concealed by the wisp of earth immortal aura left behind by the Daoist, Zhuyin traveled silently through the lands under the jurisdiction of the righteous gods, without leaving the slightest trace.

A short while later, Lin Shu arrived at the location of the rift in the earth's veins.

Completely different from what is seen on the ley line model, this crack has severed the entire ley line, resembling a real dragon being cut in half.

The surrounding area was filled with a dense mixture of turbid air, deathly air, and malevolent energy, which gradually gave rise to various mountain spirits, stone demons, and evil spirits.

Many have already formed half a body, dwelling deep in the underground fissures, constantly absorbing the surrounding power to nourish themselves and emerge.

While Lin Shu was still examining the book, Zhu Yin's eyes lit up with delight and longing, his mouth watering as he looked like he was craving it.

The turbid dragon was originally formed from the remnant essence of the turbid veins of the earth, sharing the same origin as these evil spirits.

For Zhuyin, what lies before her is a natural granary, a great source of nourishment.

Lin Shu was aware of this as well, and said with a faint smile, "Eat up, eat more."
