Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 172 The Limits of the Great Array: Controlling the Great Sun, Eternal Day Technique, Eternal Night Technique

Hongjun then asked the Heavenly Dao, "Heavenly Dao, can you discern why Emperor Qing improved the North and South?"

"I'm not entirely sure either. But judging from the Great Dao of Earth that Di Qing is currently cultivating, it's clear that this improvement of the North and South, besides making the primordial land perfect, has also helped him cultivate the Great Dao of Earth. But if it were just for the purpose of cultivating the Great Dao of Earth, there would be no need to make such a big fuss."

"Although what Di Qing is doing now is of great benefit to the entire prehistoric world, Di Qing is not the kind of selfless person who does things to benefit all living beings."

The Heavenly Dao couldn't immediately understand what Di Qing was trying to do, but as it witnessed the changes in the North and South, and how the North and South gradually transformed into blessed lands suitable for cultivation, and as it saw the entire prehistoric world flourish as the North and South changed, it began to understand.

The merits of heaven and earth spread across the land, as well as across the array diagrams, and even into Emperor Qing's body.

Under the influence of that merit, the land that had previously rejected Di Qing now subtly draws closer to him. Although Di Qing's previous actions had damaged the primordial land, causing it to reject him, his current act of restoring the land has drawn it closer.

This sudden change in intimacy instantly made the Heavenly Dao think: "Is Emperor Qing trying to gain the Earth's favor? And now the Witch Clan has broken up into smaller groups, scattered throughout the prehistoric world, occupying various parts of it. Is this... is this an attempt to control the prehistoric land?"

"Well done, Di Qing! He actually harbors such a purpose. He actually wants to completely control the primordial land!"

"Completely control the primordial land? That seems very difficult, doesn't it?" Hongjun also knew that such a thing was difficult, and his mind was in turmoil, feeling that this matter was unlikely to succeed.

The Heavenly Dao laughed loudly: "Haha... The primordial land is vast and possesses certain instincts. With such instincts, the land is especially easy to control. Previously, Di Qing damaged the primordial land and was already hated by it. Now, even if the North and South are improved, it will only resolve this hatred and make the land a little closer. But to think that you can gain the land's approval and then control the entire primordial land just by relying on this little bit of closeness is absolutely wishful thinking."

"Even if it's wishful thinking, we can't let Di Qing evolve like this," Di Jun suddenly said.

Clearly, Di Jun is driven by tyranny; whatever the enemy wants to do, regardless of right or wrong, they will try to thwart it.

Even knowing that Di Qing's plan would be difficult to succeed, Di Jun would still make it even more difficult for Di Qing to succeed.

The Heavenly Dao disagreed: "Emperor Qing is destined to fail, and our involvement won't bring much change. Besides, Emperor Qing is now eager for us to show ourselves, since we've already killed you. What we need to do now is focus on cultivation and wait for me to accumulate enough strength before breaking out of the Chaos Layer to settle accounts with Emperor Qing."

The Heavenly Dao was well aware that if they ventured out now, they would inevitably face Di Qing's pursuit. Since he hadn't accumulated enough power yet, it was best to avoid Di Qing for now.

Since Heaven had made its decision, the Three Pure Ones naturally wouldn't object. So Heaven and the others watched as Emperor Qing improved the North, South, and West.

The Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Array continued to operate. Di Qing was at the core of the array, feeling the interplay of ice and fire, and also the cycle of Yin and Yang.

Using the power of ice and fire from the North and South, one tempers their physical body; relying on the cycle of Yin and Yang, one tempers their soul.

Di Qing discovered that this cultivation method was extremely effective, and even created many other cultivation techniques based on it. For example, the North-South Ice and Fire Tempering Method, the Yin-Yang Creation Method…

Later, he even sought out innate great witches like Xing Tian to cultivate with, allowing them to temper themselves through the north-south turbulence, thus transforming their bloodline and physical body.

Even Xuanming and Zhurong have now come to the land where ice and fire are drawn from the north and south, cultivating along with the ice and fire.

However, as the great formation operated for countless years, Di Qing gradually frowned, looking at the southern and northern lands: "Has it reached its limit? The northern glaciers and southern volcanoes have only melted by half, and it will be difficult for the rest to continue melting. It seems that this Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Great Formation can only maintain the status quo, but it is difficult to completely change the northern and southern lands!"

Di Qing's eyes were unreadable, a hint of helplessness rising within him regarding the changes in the North and South. He had known from the beginning that the North and South would be difficult to change, but he hadn't expected that after expending so much effort, he could only achieve half the transformation.

The remaining half were too far from Buzhou Land, and the heat and cold energy drawn between them by the grand formations was too slow to reach a point where they could dissolve each other. After all, as soon as the ice and fire power was drawn in to dissolve the ice and fire on one side, the ice and fire would regenerate, freeze, and melt again on the other side.

Seeing that the formation had reached its maximum effect, Di Qing handed over control of it to his old human form and stood up: "It seems that to completely change the North and South, we need to plan more. That's perfect, I can try the other two methods."

Thinking of the three methods I've spent years developing to improve the situation in the North and South, and how one of them alone has already changed half of the North and South, I imagine that if I used the other two methods, I could completely transform the North and South.

Thinking of this, Di Qing looked up at the sky and then at the earth: "The remaining two methods of change are: one is to go deep into the earth's veins and dredge the veins in the north and south, drawing ice and fire into the veins to circulate. The other is to go to the starry sky and control the sun and moon."

"Well, let's try going to the starry sky first. After all, going deep into the ley lines isn't easy."

Of the two methods, Di Qing knew very well that manipulating the Yin and Yang was relatively simple, while delving into the earth's veins was more difficult. After all, the deep layers of the earth remained a forbidden zone for many prehistoric cultivators.

Even Di Qing had never ventured deep into the earth's interior. The various layers of earth veins that Di Qing knew about were all thanks to the inheritance given to him by Yang Mei.

After glancing at the sky, Di Qing transmitted his voice to Xi He, and then flew towards the sky.

.........

Once again in the starry sky, Xihe accompanied Di Qing.

Having already reached the Hunyuan Realm, Xihe, upon learning of Di Qing's plan, said: "Husband, controlling the Taiyin star to illuminate the south is easy for me with my current cultivation level, especially with the help of the laurel tree. However, controlling the sun star is a bit more difficult. After all, although my cultivation is strong, I am not a being of the sun and cannot control the sun star."

"Don't worry, I've already thought of that. Although I don't have the solar essence of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, I do have the Fusang Tree. The Fusang Tree I plundered back then can replace the solar essence. With my cultivation level, it's easy to control the sun and stars using the Fusang Tree." After saying that, Di Qing passed the Eternal Night Technique to Xi He, and then flew towards the Sun Star.

Xihe did not follow Di Qing, but instead absorbed the Eternal Night Technique that Di Qing had taught her. After returning to the Taiyin Star, she sought out the laurel tree and, with the help of the laurel tree and her own Hunyuan Realm cultivation, manipulated the light of the Taiyin Star to illuminate the southern volcano.

After arriving at the Sun Star, Di Qing took out the Fusang Tree that he had collected for many years and made it take root in the Sun Star again. He also secretly took out a small amount of Chaos Resources to nurture it.

The Fusang Tree, originally a top-grade spiritual root that was barely alive, gradually transformed into a half-step Chaos spiritual root with the support of Chaos resources.
