Primordial Era: Starting with the Immortals of the Jie Sect to Prove the Dao of Hunyuan

"Damn it! I knew the journey had been so smooth; it turns out there was a trap hidden here!"

Li Qing cursed inwardly. It turned out that the Falling Treasure Coin was currently suppressing a hidden Wuyi Mountain vein, and it was the main vein, which was completely invisible from the outside.

Only by using all one's magical power to look through the small square hole in the center of the treasure-dropping coin can one discover it.

Most importantly, this ley line is not complete; it is connected in two halves, as if it were injured, making it extremely fragile.

Under the suppression of the Falling Treasure Coin, the two halves of the earth vein have begun to merge.

If Li Qing were to carelessly take away the Fallen Treasure Coin, without the suppression of this spiritual treasure, the injured ley line would erupt in the next moment, causing the spiritual energy to become chaotic, eventually destroying the blessed land and leveling Wuyi Mountain!

If that happens, the karma of the destroyed earth veins and the karma of countless lives lost will fall on Li Qing's head. He might be accused of acting on behalf of Heaven when he goes out!

"Let me think..."

Li Qing paced back and forth a few steps, beginning to ponder a solution.

The simplest way is to take the treasure-dropping coin and then, before the earth veins erupt, put back a spiritual treasure.

He did have a Wuji Pearl lying around, but this magical treasure had a secret and couldn't be left here.

Apart from the Wuji Pearl, Li Qing could not leave behind either the Taiji Talisman or the Xuanjin Halberd, thus blocking the path of exchanging treasures for treasures.

The rest will be much more difficult, but having come this far, it's impossible for Li Qing to give up.

"The earth's veins are like dragons, and they prefer stillness to movement. However, this earth vein is broken, and it is the main vein of Wuyi Mountain, which is why it needs a spiritual treasure to suppress it."

As Li Qing pondered, he caught a glimpse of a white deer peeking out from the entrance of the cave.

The white deer seemed to sense Li Qing's gaze, let out a soft cry, and walked lightly to his side, nuzzling his palm with its warm nose.

When Li Qing saw the white deer, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This white deer is the spirit of the earth's veins. If it can cooperate with me to reconnect the broken earth veins of Wuyi Mountain, then I will naturally be able to take the treasure-dropping gold coins!

"Little deer, little deer, I wish to repair the severed main vein of Wuyi Mountain. Would you be willing to lend me a hand?"

The white deer's face showed a human-like surprise, and it raised its head and cried out, its voice as clear and far-reaching as the clash of metal and stone.

As the deer's cry arose, the spiritual energy within the grotto began to surge rhythmically, gradually outlining a complete map of the Wuyi Mountains' geological formations in the air.

Along with the ley line map, the events of that time also came to light.

A giant unleashed his immense power, mobilizing the main vein of Wuyi Mountain, and clashed with a figure beside Wuyi Mountain. After a bell rang, the main vein of Wuyi Mountain was shattered into two halves!

The moment the main vein broke, countless living beings wailed, and the blessed land nearly collapsed.

At the critical moment, the Treasure-Dropping Coin flew out from the mountain, hovering above the broken vein, gathering boundless spiritual energy and sprinkling immeasurable copper luster, forcefully connecting and suppressing the broken vein, thus saving Wuyi Mountain.

"No wonder it has been gestating here for countless years without ever being born."

Li Qing said in a low voice, "It's not that I can't leave this world, but that I dare not leave."

Once the treasure-dropping coin leaves, the main vein of Wuyi Mountain will rupture, causing widespread suffering and death.

He stood up, and his gaze toward Luo Baojinqian was now filled with more respect.

"The earth's veins are the meridians of the earth, the channels of spiritual energy. If they are severed, the spiritual energy will be blocked; if they are restored, life will be restored. I already know how to restore them."

Li Qing recalled the various secret techniques mentioned in the Shangqing Great Law and had already made a plan.

"Fortunately, only the main vein was severed. If all the earth's energy had been diverted and the body had been smashed to pieces by a single blow, then even a god couldn't save it!"

Li Qing is capable of repairing such a tangled network of earth veins.

If it were like in the West, where the earth's veins were shattered by the earthquake, even two sages would be helpless.

Li Qing waved his hand, signaling Bai Lu to lead the way, as he was going to set up formations at various leyline nodes.

With the guidance of the White Deer, the spirit of the earth veins, Li Qing quickly traversed the entire Wuyi Mountains. After setting up formations at 365 earth vein nodes, he returned to the True Ascension and Profound Cave Heaven.

"I gained it from Houtu, and lost it from Wuyi. Between gain and loss, I broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and will soon obtain another innate spiritual treasure. The wonders of the world are truly astounding!"

Looking at the fractured main vein of Wuyi Mountain, a thought came to Li Qing's mind.

Judging from the scene shown by the white deer, that giant is probably the ancestral witch Houtu.

That bell sound was probably the Chaos Bell, a supreme treasure in the hands of Donghuang Taiyi.

To repair the mess left by the fight between these two, he needs to use the Nine Heavens Breath Soil that Houtu gave him earlier.

Li Qing thought for a while, and seeing the moonlight filling the sky, the time had come. He became solemn, abandoned his distracting thoughts, unfolded the auspicious cloud, and the Taiji talisman breathed in and out the yin and yang energies.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the Supreme Clarity Immortal Light swept across the area, and the Taiji Talisman and the Falling Treasure Coin stood side by side, breaking the balance between the Falling Treasure Coin and the earth's veins.

In an instant, the earth's veins trembled, and the spiritual energy became chaotic, about to sweep across the entire Wuyi Mountain.

"go!"

Li Qing formed a hand seal, and black and white energy intertwined upwards. Yin and Yang energies, like two swimming dragons, wrapped around the two ends of the severed meridian, firmly fixing it in place, without moving an inch.

Then he took out the piece of Nine Heavens Breath Soil given to him by Houtu, and with a crushing motion of the Pure Immortal Light, it instantly transformed into 129,600 grains, which meandered and twisted in the air, resembling a divine dragon.

With a long cry, the white deer's four hooves produced clouds, transforming into a beam of white light. It then stood atop the dragon's head and flew towards various leyline nodes.

Wherever it passed, the earth's spiritual energy seemed to be awakened and began to flow slowly.

"By using the Nine Heavens Breath Soil to stimulate the earth's energy, and then using it to mend the yin and yang, the main vein will heal, and there will be no need to suppress it with spiritual treasures anymore."

Li Qing sat upright in the cave, slowly soothing the main meridian that was bound with his own magic power, pondering to himself.

Before long, a bright yellow light shone on Mount Wuyi. A white deer galloped over, carrying with it half of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil it had consumed. It landed between the Yin and Yang energies, transforming into a bridge to connect Yin and Yang.

"Yin and Yang are the way of Heaven and Earth; Earth is the guiding principle of all things and the parent of change."

Seeing this, Li Qing dared not delay. He formed hand seals, and the yin and yang energies swirled and intertwined at the break, gradually forming a miniature tai chi diagram.

The Tai Chi diagram slowly rotated, and with each rotation, it ground up the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, which then flowed into the earth's veins, bringing the two ends of the earth's veins one step closer together.

As Li Qing moved, the entire ley line trembled slightly, emitting a deep rumble, as if the earth was singing.

The tremors of the Falling Treasure Coin grew more and more intense. It seemed to sense that it was about to be released, and its bronze luster became even more dazzling, while its wings flapped faster and faster.

"combine!"

Seeing that the Nine Heavens Breath Soil had been completely devoured, Li Qing let out a long roar and changed the hand seals in his hands.
