As everyone parted ways, Ding Yue and Luo Xuan walked forward for a short while. Ding Yue saw the shattered earth and countless collapsed mountains and stopped. For the first time in front of everyone, he took out the mountain-moving whip, explained briefly, and started his old job of guiding the earth's veins and repairing the land!
Luo Xuan's magical treasures were all for attack and defense, and he found this task too strenuous. So he explained briefly and left on his own, preparing to check the surroundings first.
Hanzhixian had only a wind bag, which was not very useful, but as a plant spirit, a ginseng that had achieved enlightenment, she wielded her magic power behind Ding Yue, summoning clouds and rain to restore the land's greenery.
As for Lady Shiji, her Lingbao Eight Trigram Cloud Light Scarf could summon powerful Yellow Turban Warriors to move mountains and shift earth, and her other Lingbao Eight Trigram Dragon Beard Scarf could summon divine dragons, summon clouds and rain, and control the wind and clouds, with many useful functions!
Among the many disciples of the截教 (Jie Jiao), there were quite a few women. The Three Xiao were figures no one dared to provoke, but Hanzhixian and Lady Shiji, although their magical powers and abilities were not weak, their magical treasures were not very good. Hanzhixian's wind bag, although a mid-grade Lingbao, had limited power and was at a disadvantage in battles. She usually practiced with Ding Yue using the immortal sword given by the Original Celestial Venerable, which seemed rather meager.
As for Lady Shiji, although she had many Lingbao, they were all low-grade, and the two scarves were mainly auxiliary.
"Junior Brother, your magical treasure is really powerful!" Hanzhixian watched as Ding Yue moved mountains and shifted earth with the mountain-moving whip, and couldn't help but envy him.
Ding Yue didn't know what to say, so he replied, "Senior Sister, these Lingbao are ultimately external objects; the most important thing is one's own cultivation."
On the other side, Lady Shiji threw the Eight Trigram Cloud Light Scarf, summoning several dozen Yellow Turban Warriors, each dozens of feet tall, and directed them to move rocks and clear the land.
Hearing Ding Yue's words, Lady Shiji huffed and said, "Senior Brother, you're talking from a position of comfort, with two high-grade Lingbao. Humph!"
Ding Yue didn't dare to respond, knowing that any further words would invite trouble!
Lady Shiji, having spent a lot of time with him, had become more assertive in her speech!
But Ding Yue still wondered, what would their expressions be if they knew he had over ten Lingbao on him?
Ding Yue, a Golden Immortal, used the mountain-moving whip with ease, fully utilizing its power.
The broken mountains couldn't be reconnected, so Ding Yue took out the Heaven and Earth Tower and stored the large rocks, which were valuable materials with abundant spiritual energy, some even containing primordial veins.
Although these materials were common in the current chaotic era, they would be rare "heavenly treasures" in the future.
Many mountains in the future would be refined into powerful magical treasures.
Hanzhixian and Lady Shiji, seeing Ding Yue take out another primordial Lingbao, didn't know what to say. Hanzhixian, being more introverted, didn't say much, but Lady Shiji huffed a few times, making Ding Yue quite awkward.
"Senior Brother, why are you storing these things? They take up a lot of space. How much space does your treasure tower have?" Lady Shiji asked, seeing Ding Yue store the useless broken rocks.
Ding Yue didn't want to reveal his thoughts, so he replied, "These things take up space and are in the way. I can only store them first and deal with them later."
The three Golden Immortals, with their deep magical powers and extraordinary abilities, quickly tidied up the area, turning it into a vast plain with green grass and flowing streams, with only a few hills.
After Ding Yue carefully guided the earth's veins, he was about to call the two to leave when he noticed Hanzhixian looking dazed.
"Senior Sister, what's wrong?" Ding Yue asked.
Hanzhixian was startled and came to her senses, saying with some joy, "Junior Brother, I have a ray of golden light of merit in my body."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Lady Shiji quickly checked herself and was delighted to find that she also had it.
Ding Yue also checked and found that although he had a bit more, it was negligible compared to the vast amount of golden light of merit he already had, so he wasn't particularly happy.
Calling the two, Ding Yue took out the Heart-Linked Jade to find Luo Xuan's location and led them away.
A short while later, they found Luo Xuan, who was setting up a protective array for a small clan in the chaotic era. This clan had a small population, with the highest cultivation being late-stage Heavenly Immortal.
Previously, due to the war between the Witches and the Birds, many clan members had died. When Luo Xuan offered to set up the array, the clan leader was almost overjoyed and even set up a shrine to worship Luo Xuan.
Ding Yue and the others saw that the array Luo Xuan was setting up was a simple one, not a secret of the截教 (Jie Jiao), so they didn't say anything. Moreover, it would take Luo Xuan several years to complete the array.
Seeing this, Ding Yue didn't stay long and returned to his role as a cleaner, repairing the land.
However, this task was extremely draining, and even with his deep magical powers, Ding Yue could only last a few days before needing to recover. He didn't dare to wander around the chaotic era in an incomplete state, as it was too dangerous!
Three days later, Ding Yue found a valley to recover his magical powers. Although Golden Immortals had deep magical powers, it took a while to recover, but the abundant earth qi made it manageable.
Taking this opportunity, Ding Yue entered the Heaven and Earth Tower to process the broken mountains and large rocks.
The broken mountains with abundant earth qi and residual primordial veins, Ding Yue refined into magical treasure embryos, some in the shape of mountains, others in the shape of stone seals. These embryos could change size, and Ding Yue used many precious materials to refine a spatial magical treasure, a nine-story stone tower, with a considerable internal space.
Ding Yue, being a Golden Immortal, had a good understanding of spatial principles, making the refinement of such a spatial magical treasure quite successful.
He used this tower to store the embryos, categorizing them by level and placing them in different floors. The tower also stored other spiritual materials, herbs, and fruits he had collected.
This tower became Ding Yue's treasure vault! The Nine-Story Crystal Tower, with Ding Yue's skills, was almost at the level of a post-primordial Lingbao.
Besides repairing the earth's veins, Ding Yue mainly sought out small human tribes, persuading them to migrate and form larger tribes, or setting up protective arrays for them.
For special reasons, Ding Yue used the mountain-moving whip to raise the terrain of the human tribes, forming plateaus!
This action continued for a thousand years, and the many Golden Immortals of the截教 (Jie Jiao) gained much merit, although they were tired, they had no complaints and were highly motivated.
One day, while Ding Yue was setting up an array for a human tribe, he suddenly felt the Heart-Linked Jade heat up and glow!
Then he heard Luo Xuan's anxious voice, "Senior Brother, hurry, a great witch is coming to kill us."
Over the thousand years, Ding Yue and the others' actions had caused many troubles. The Witches and Birds were not friendly towards the截教 (Jie Jiao) disciples, but they didn't dare to attack because the截教 (Jie Jiao) disciples were all Golden Immortals, and their actions didn't hinder the Witches and Birds.
"What happened? Are you okay?" Ding Yue quickly asked.
"That great witch went crazy, hurry!" Luo Xuan said.
At this moment, Ding Yue could see a fiery red light rapidly approaching, and in the distance, a figure dozens of feet tall was chasing after it, running at a speed that matched the light.
Seeing this, Ding Yue quickly sent a message to Hanzhixian and Lady Shiji, and they disappeared from the spot.
"What happened?" Hanzhixian asked, joining Ding Yue, knowing that great witches were not to be trifled with.
"I don't know, let's meet up with Junior Brother Luo Xuan first!" Ding Yue said, somewhat at a loss, as he had always avoided the powerful figures of the Witches and Birds, but now he had to face them.
A moment later, Luo Xuan's light flashed, and he appeared, looking rather disheveled, with his fiery red robe wrinkled, his hair disheveled, and his breath unstable.
"What happened? Are you okay?" Ding Yue quickly approached and handed Luo Xuan a few pills he had refined.
Luo Xuan didn't hesitate, swallowing the pills and quickly said, "I'm fine, Senior Brother. I just saved a bird, and the great witch went crazy, chasing me relentlessly."
"What bird? A member of the Bird clan?" Hanzhixian frowned.
Luo Xuan replied, "Not a member of the Bird clan, he doesn't have the Heavenly Court's mark. It was a Golden-winged Great Peng, which seemed quite extraordinary."
"Golden-winged Great Peng?" Ding Yue was taken aback, immediately thinking of a famous bird from the future.
At this moment, a large bird, several dozen feet tall, with golden wings and a fierce appearance, was thrown out of Luo Xuan's Ten Thousand Crows Pot. The bird was unconscious and clearly severely injured.
"What should we do with it?" Luo Xuan asked.
Ding Yue was a bit at a loss, but before he could speak, a loud noise came from the distance, and a figure quickly approached.
"Put down that bird, or dare to steal my food!" The great witch, dozens of feet tall, wearing a beast skin and holding a large axe, spoke with a voice that shook the earth.
"Food?" Ding Yue was taken aback. If this bird was indeed the one he thought, its origins were among the best in the chaotic era, and someone wanted to eat it?
He couldn't hand it over, so Ding Yue quickly said, "Brother, this bird has extraordinary origins and cannot be eaten. How about we, your senior brothers, catch a few wild beasts for you to eat?"
"No! I've been chasing this bird for hundreds of years, and I want to eat it!" The great witch refused.
What the heck! Ding Yue was speechless. Chasing a bird for hundreds of years just to eat it, was it really necessary?
"Give it to me!" The great witch couldn't wait, as he had been hungry for a long time.
Ding Yue and the others exchanged glances. Luo Xuan was reluctant, and Hanzhixian and Lady Shiji didn't want to cause trouble.
"I..." Ding Yue was at a loss, not knowing what to say.
"Not giving it? You're asking for death!" The great witch, seeing the hesitation of the small figures in front of him, became furious and took a step forward, swinging his axe down!
(I'm a bit late, sorry everyone!)
