Primordial Era: I, the Lamp Burner, intercept the Western opportunity at the outset.

Having resolved the issue of the dragon race, Randeng turned to Zhen Yuanzi and said, "I'll leave those damaged ley lines to you, fellow Daoist. Junior Brother Jieyin still needs to recuperate."

Zhen Yuanzi readily agreed, after all, anyone who wouldn't do something that could bring him merit would be a fool.

After Zhen Yuanzi left, Randeng used magic to shut down the mountain-protecting array to prevent outside interference, and led Jieyin to the underground space where the core of the earth vein was located.

After 20,000 years of nurturing, the core of the earth vein has shown signs of revival. If left unattended, it will condense on its own in another dozen or so eons.

The lamp was lit to summon the Earth Book, and an ancient scroll in dark yellow appeared, with the mountain drawing representing Mount Sumeru lit up, but it flickered like a candle flame.

"Junior Brother Jieyin, I will be presiding over the condensation of the earth vein core. I would appreciate it if you could protect me during this time. Except for Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, do not open the great formation if anyone comes to visit."

Dipankara turned to guide him and instructed him that when he held the Earth Book in his hand and became one with the entire Mount Sumeru, he could not be distracted by external matters.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Randeng, I will definitely guard Mount Sumeru without leaving a single leak."

Jieyin nodded, clearly knowing that this matter could not be taken lightly.

The lamp then transmitted its divine message to Cundi.

"Junior Brother Zhunti, continue to use your spiritual root body to dredge the surrounding earth veins. When the core of the earth veins is restored, that will be the time for you to take human form. There is no need to wait any longer. On the path of primordial chaos, the first to act is the victor."

Zhunti sent a divine message, indicating that his original essence, which he had nurtured for tens of thousands of years, had been largely restored, and that with the help of the merits of nurturing the core of the earth veins, he should be able to fully recover.

Ran Deng nodded, no longer paying attention to the two of them. They were both destined to become saints and ancestors, so there was no need for him to care about their affairs.

Holding the Earth Book, Randeng once again experienced the feeling of transforming into the earth that day. Because Mount Sumeru is the core of the western earth veins, his divine sense flowed with the power of the earth veins to all parts of the western land.

He saw the roots of the Seven Treasures Bodhi Tree, the true form of Cundi, emitting countless seven-colored rays of light, slowly changing the surrounding earth vein network.

Wearing a yellow robe, Zhen Yuanzi extinguished the demonic energy and the law of annihilation in a deep abyss.

Countless beings with low cultivation levels have also repaired the ley lines of their respective territories using their own supernatural powers, thanks to the guidance and promotion they have received over the years.

When the lamp was about to leave, he asked the guide to pay attention to the gifted beings in the West and to preach the principle that "it is everyone's responsibility to repair the West." It seems that this was quite effective.

"They will all be the mainstay of our Western religion in the future."

The lamplighter was quite satisfied with this, believing it to be the true essence of the West.

On this day, countless beings repairing the earth's veins felt a vast divine thought, carrying profound earthly principles, pass by their location, as if they were being watched by heaven and earth.

Then they discovered that the remaining demonic energy, malevolent energy, and laws of annihilation within the earth's veins had been completely washed away by this immense power.

Burning Lamp, who was in the midst of it, noticed that his understanding of the Law of Annihilation and the Law of Earth was rapidly improving.

58%...59%...

Soon, his comprehension of the Law of Annihilation reached 60%, and Burning Lamp's realm naturally broke through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Beside him was the guide, who was protecting the Dharma. Sensing the fluctuations in the aura around him, he opened his eyes and was surprised to find that his senior brother, Dipankara, had broken through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm at some point.

Both being innate deities who cultivate the Law of Annihilation, Randeng has undoubtedly surpassed him. Fortunately, there is no concept of a single law in the primordial world; even if Randeng attains the Primordial Realm, he can still cultivate the Law of Annihilation and seek his own Great Dao.

From his initial entry into the Great Luo realm to his breakthrough to the mid-stage, it only took Randeng about 20,000 years. If other innate deities knew this speed, they would definitely jump up and down and curse the Heavenly Dao for being biased.

When the divine sense of the lamp returned to the core of the earth veins, the earth laws in the Earth Book already carried immeasurable earth vein power.

With the blessing of the Earth Book's supernatural power, the earth's vein energy began to condense and concentrate.

Burning Lamp estimated that this process would take at least ten thousand years. Reducing the original time of a dozen or so cycles to ten thousand years was already the limit of this rare treasure of the earth.

Taking this opportunity, Randeng used the Book of Earth to consolidate his newly comprehended laws of the earth.

Burning Lamp offered up the three flowers above his head. The Dao Fruit of Nirvana had already blossomed into six petals, with the middle flower having three petals, surrounded by the Daoist rhyme of the Law of Earth.

I thought that the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm would choose the Law of Creation, but unexpectedly, today, taking advantage of the opportunity to repair the earth veins, he has comprehended 30% of the Law of Earth.

In the conception of the Burning Lamp, the Great Path of Reincarnation is guided by the Law of Nirvana and the Law of Creation, endlessly reincarnating and endlessly regenerating, and further supported by the Law of the Earth.

If Randeng is not mistaken, Zhen Yuanzi's first law should also be the law of earth. After all, with a spiritual treasure like the Book of Earth, it would be a real pity not to cultivate the law of earth.

Burning Lamp thus immersed himself in comprehending and consolidating the laws, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed.

In the vast underground space, two innate saints sat cross-legged in seclusion. However, as a series of loud pulse sounds rang out, both of them opened their eyes.

"The time has come, and the core of the earth's veins in the West has finally been repaired."

Looking at what lay before him, he could clearly feel the spiritual energy concentration of the entire western land rapidly soaring to twice its original level, thanks to the earth vein power surging continuously through the core of the earth vein and with the help of the Earth Book.

Some of the original blessed lands have been restored to their original state, and countless withered secret realms have been revitalized, with spiritual roots being nurtured anew.

Randeng and Jieyin exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. Then, together they escaped from the underground space and arrived at the summit of Mount Sumeru.

"Senior brothers, has the core of my western earth veins been restored? I feel that even my original essence has been restored to some extent."

Upon arriving at the summit of Mount Sumeru, Zhunti eagerly inquired of Jieyin and Dipankara.

Then a streak of dark yellow light flashed by in the distance, and Zhen Yuanzi arrived at the mountain peak formation.

Zhen Yuanzi, visibly excited, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jieyin and Randeng.

"Fellow Daoists, have we succeeded?"

Randeng laughed heartily and said to Zhen Yuanzi:

"Fellow Daoist guessed correctly; you also deserve credit for this."

This time, unlike before, the primordial world did not secretly distribute the golden light of merit to everyone's primordial spirit.

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred between heaven and earth. Endless auspicious clouds surged and scattered in all directions. Above the nine heavens, a golden gate opened wide, and endless golden light of merit descended from the heavenly gate, vast and boundless, covering tens of thousands of miles.

Thirty percent of the merit light transformed into a golden lotus, which fell into the center of Dipankara's brow, and condensed again into a merit mirror, with an even higher concentration of merit than before.

Like Zhen Yuanzi, Jieyin received 15% of the merit, while Zhunti received 10%. The other beings in the West who repaired the earth's veins shared 10%, and the remaining 20% ​​of the merit transformed into endless rain of merit that fell upon the entire western land, nourishing all things.

Dipankara was not surprised to receive 30% of the merit, as he had already accumulated enough merit during his previous work repairing the earth's veins.

The most noticeable change was in Zhunti, who, after absorbing the merits of that level, used them to repair his own essence.

A strong surge of spiritual energy erupted from the spot where the Seven Treasures Bodhi Tree had originally stood, mixed with golden light of merit and innate, indestructible spiritual light, attracting attention.

After a long while, a Taoist priest with fair skin, a slightly plump face, kind eyes and eyebrows emerged. He had a gentle yet shrewd smile on his lips. He wore a seven-jeweled lotus crown and a moon-white robe embroidered with golden lotuses. He was surrounded by necklaces and a faint golden light. He held a seven-jeweled tree and exuded the cultivation of a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal.

The crowd around Randeng offered their congratulations, "Congratulations to Junior Brother/Fellow Daoist Zhunti on your birth into human form!"

Zhunti greeted everyone with a smile.
