The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 371 What are you planning to build?
The Supreme One departs with composure.

The Supreme Being is beating ashes.

After resolving the matter with Louguandao, Lord Zhou carried the two innate divine trees back to the blessed land. He deactivated the [Devouring Heaven and Earth] divine power within his sleeve, and with a sweep of his sleeve, a ball of spiritual light flew out.

It was a deep, verdant green, yet possessed an indescribable sharpness of metal—it was none other than the innate spiritual tree, the Bronze Divine Tree.

The bronze tree fell directly here, taking deep root.

It stabilized the vital energy and participated in the flow of vital energy in the [Langyuan Wonderland].

The total amount of spiritual energy in the entire [Langyuan Wonderland] seemed to have increased slightly. After all, this is a top-level blessed land, much better than when An Lushan and Shi cultivated the Bronze Divine Tree.

It was far superior to what was hidden in Lord Zhou's sleeve.

The bronze divine tree previously resisted the ancient dragon turtle's great water-attribute supernatural power by absorbing a lot of water-attribute primordial energy through the Five Elements Rotation Method. Now, it naturally absorbs and exhales here, promoting the circulation of primordial energy throughout the entire blessed land.

They then placed all the things of the earth in another location.

Zhou Yan extracted a great deal of the vital energy from this thing to help Li Zhiwei regulate her internal organs, but plants and trees are ever-renewing, and can continue to be planted and nurtured in this earth.

Ji Xuanyuan said, "Therefore, the entire blessed land is now dominated by wood elemental energy, and earth and metal elements coexist. This bronze divine tree has also absorbed a lot of water elemental energy because of the ancient dragon turtle."

"Oh dear, what should we do?"

"Where can we get some innate fire elemental energy?"

As Ji Xuanyuan spoke, his face was full of regret, and then his eyes stared straight at Zhou Yan.

Lord Zhou sighed and reached into his sleeve.

His [Devouring Heaven and Earth] skill was always activated at the minimum level.

This was a technique Zhou Yan learned from Lao Jin during their duel. Now, Zhou Yan's sleeves are somewhat like the belly of an ancient dragon turtle. Normally, by reserving a little magic power, he can create a sizable space to store things.

Zhou Yan took out the three-legged golden crow and casually pinched its little belly.

The three-legged golden crow was still fast asleep.

All three little paws were curled up, the belly bulged out, the neck was pulled back and the head was buried in the wings, looking like a dough ball.

After being pinched by Zhou Yan, it first used its third claw to grab Zhou Yan's finger and pull it outwards, as if it was impatient.

After being pinched three more times, its wings trembled and it released its grip. The three-legged golden crow raised its head, its face showing an expression of 'the people are not asleep either'.

Huh? Working again?
Helpless, the three-legged golden crow first spat out a mouthful of Great Sun True Fire. This mouthful of Great Sun True Fire flew directly into the world, transforming into primordial energy and participating in the foundation of the entire blessed land.

Ji Xuanyuan, leaning on a hoe, laughed loudly:

"Kid, aren't you the most skilled in the Five Elements?"

"Why aren't you adjusting the five elements?!"

Although Zhou Yan's lineage of cultivation has been multifaceted, when it comes to supernatural powers, it has indeed followed the path of Yin-Yang circulation and the evolution of the Five Elements. He is extremely familiar with the innate Five Elements energy here.

With a single thought, the Qi of the Five Elements begins to flow and change.

It is a divine tree of nature, a seed of the earth, water from dragons and turtles, fire from golden crows, and a bronze divine tree.

These five elements vary in strength and intensity; some belong to Yang, while others belong to Yin. If they are simply placed together, they might cause an explosion.

Zhou Yan used his authority as the master of the blessed land to try to adjust the five elements of Qi. However, during this process, he had a strange feeling that he was using the great supernatural power he had created.

However, there are differences.

His ultimate move utilizes the characteristic of [Heavenly Pillar - Suppression] to control the innate five elements of Qi, and uses the flow characteristics he comprehended from [Heavenly Palace Academy] to forcefully implant a seal within the enemy's body. The more the opponent tries to break through this seal, the more they will be drawn into the flow system, thus strengthening the seal.

But at this moment, it is necessary to maintain the balance and transformation of the five elements.

There is no external input; it relies entirely on internal circulation.

Moreover, this fairyland has a unique characteristic: it belongs to the outside world, yet it is like a foundational dantian; and it is a realm of law that transcends ordinary blessed lands and grotto heavens, possessing its own fundamental order of heaven and earth.

This caused Zhou Yan to have a familiar feeling, as if he were circulating the five elements of Qi within his own body, but also a sense of difficulty, as if he were actually regulating the external world. Ironically, this difficulty was the kind that could be overcome with a little effort.

Zhou Yan, with his strong and stubborn nature, gradually pondered and pondered.

The originally discordant Five Elements Qi slowly began to unify. Zhou Yan suddenly took half a step forward, and the surrounding Five Elements Qi changed, lifting Zhou Yan into the air, his sleeves billowing.

During this treatment, Zhou Yan suddenly had an epiphany.

The so-called Yin and Yang are simply opposites that are in balance and constantly transforming!
From the Heavenly Palace, we learn about the flow and transformation; but from here, we gain a clearer understanding of balance.

Zhou Yan raised his hand, and the two energies of Kan and Li transformed into Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang transformed into the Five Elements, and the Qi of the Five Elements spread outward, forcibly connecting the [Inner Heaven and Earth] and the [Outer Heaven and Earth]. Zhou Yan felt a sense of sudden enlightenment and let out a long roar.

With wrist suspended and hand hanging down, the character "镇" (zhen, meaning "to suppress") shines brightly on the palm of the right hand.

Facing forward, calmly and casually, he pressed down with his palm.

Yin and Yang transform into the Five Elements, and the Five Elements give rise to Heaven and Earth. As the wind and rain rise and the four directions are vast, the Qi of the Five Elements in this world is directly fixed by Zhou Yan's ordinary palm strike!
Ji Xuanyuan laughed loudly: "Good, good, good!"

He raised his hand to his eyelids and saw that the five elements of energy were held together at one point under this palm strike. He praised, "You're getting more and more skilled at this move, kid. Not bad, not bad."

Zhou Yan landed, also feeling somewhat pleased with his own understanding.

Thinking to myself, I realized that I still needed to keep practicing. Although I had accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience in the Five Elements and their flow due to various reasons, without such attempts that were both difficult and seemingly achievable, I could not transform them into true understanding and transformation.

He had a thought in his mind.

The first move of the supernatural power he created was used for sealing.

Another technique evolved from this: using water and fire to transform Kan and Li, and Kan and Li to transform Yin and Yang, specifically to break the seal. Zhou Yan gave this technique a name: the "Two Elements Seal." This time, in regulating heaven and earth, he had two more ideas.

One is that if one can strike out with a single palm, the inner five elements can outline the outer five elements.

Is it possible to unleash this move mid-air?
How could you force someone to fight from 800 miles away and get their main account banned?
Another possibility is that when the Qi of the Five Elements enters the enemy's body, it collapses and compresses inward to seal them. However, if the Qi of the Five Elements enters the enemy's body in the opposite way, it connects with the Five Elements of the enemy's own internal organs and then explodes outward.

It's just like the original state of this fairyland.

If the opposing element's Qi becomes unbalanced, with one element becoming particularly prominent, could it explode from within?

It seems feasible.

This time, Zhou Yan suddenly had a breakthrough in his thinking. He felt a sense of relief, like a problem that had been pondered for a long time suddenly becoming clear. As a result, his unique supernatural power became more and more perfect.

There are bans, treatments, breaking the bans, and attacks.

It is almost a self-contained system.

As Zhou Yan's mind stirred, he couldn't help but circulate his own magical power, raising his hand to make a move. He used Tai Chi, which he had taken as an elective physical education class in his previous life. This was something he had forgotten after the exam, but using it now was quite different.

Every gesture subtly conveys a sense of flow, opposition, and transformation, yet is balanced by a certain principle.

Finally, with a swift movement, Madam Xu drew her sword and held it in her hand.

From fists and palms, legs and feet, to swords and weapons, and finally wielding that divine weapon, the three-pointed double-edged sword, the primordial energy it drew upon initially became vast and magnificent, but later gradually became subtle and unremarkable, yet contained the five elements within.

Each move is imbued with one of the five elements.

With a single strike, he can disrupt the balance of the five elements within the opponent's body, destroy their foundation, and continuously weaken them. This is a method for prolonged battles. Zhou Yan controls the earth's veins, and his vital energy will continuously recover. Under his attacks, the opponent's condition will only deteriorate.

Finally, everything became clear, and there were no further new insights.

Ji Xuanyuan clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Alright, kid."

"Stop playing around. The five elements here have been balanced, and you should be able to feel the benefits." Zhou Yan nodded slightly.

This place is full of vital energy. Not only can Zhou Yan recover from his injuries quickly and accelerate his cultivation here, but it is also like another dantian foundation with many wonderful benefits. Now that the five elements of energy have been regulated, it is even more in harmony with Zhou Yan himself.

Ji Xuanyuan pointed to this place and said casually:

"This is just the beginning. To be honest, in its current state, it can't compare to those famous blessed lands, but it can continue to grow and one day it will be no less than Kunlun Mountain."

"Now, with this innate divine tree and the Great Sun True Fire, you still lack three things: a mountain formed from top-grade Geng Metal Qi, a branch of the earth vein, and a branch of the water vein."

"In this way, the five elements' energy in this place will be continuously replenished."

"It will also provide you with greater assistance."

"As for the Geng metal energy, I do know where to get it. I have the copper from Shoushan. I'll give you a place to retrieve it. As for the water veins and earth veins, you'll have to work on them yourself."

Ji Xuanyuan and Chi You pulled out a scroll and threw it to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan asked curiously, "What is this?"

Ji Xuanyuan laughed heartily: "The materials needed to build this blessed land."

"Not much."

"Just a tiny bit."

Ji Xuanyuan smiled innocently, and Zhou Yan truly believed him. He put the item away and saw that the bronze divine tree was stretching its branches and leaves, while the Great Sun Golden Crow was sleeping soundly inside Zhou Yan's sleeve.

Now that they saw the lush bronze tree, their eyes lit up instantly. They had already flapped their wings and flown to the top of the bronze tree, and were so happy that they started to flap their wings and dance the Great Sun Dance.

Zhou Fujun commented that it looked a bit like a puppy dancing in front of a big chicken leg after getting it.

Yes, a three-legged golden crow, which means a large three-legged crow.

Corvidae, the little dogs of the air?

Zhou Yan thought of this docile three-legged golden crow, and its fierce and terrifying reputation and legends in the ancient times. The ten suns that appeared in the sky were almost equivalent to a great calamity in the ancient times, no less than Gonggong's flood of the earth.

Zhou Yan thought of the Dijun Divine Bell, which required the Great Sun True Fire to activate, and of the remaining eight Golden Crows in Shi and An Lushan's territory, as well as the original form of the Bronze Divine Tree.

"An Lushan...Luzhou..."

Zhou Yan lowered his eyes slightly, lost in thought.

There are many things to do, but we can't rush them. Let's take it one step at a time.

Seeing the overjoyed three-legged golden crow, he smiled, swept his sleeve, picked up the jade talisman, and the former hungry ghost jade talisman, now transformed into a celestial jade talisman, flew out and turned into a black beast.

This black beast had been consuming the moonlight accumulated over thousands of years and was already stuffed.

As a supernatural being from the Hungry Ghost Path, this creature, summoned by the essence of immortals, fulfilled its long-cherished wish of the 'Hungry Ghost Path'. After emerging, it lay down at Zhou Yan's feet, constantly rubbing its head against Zhou Yan's calf and making whimpering sounds.

It even condensed a tail and swung it wildly.

As a condensation of the hungry ghost realm, it actually ate its fill!

The loyalty of this new beast has been maxed out.

'If there's a next life, I'll still follow you!'

Zhou Yan patted its head and said, "Go find a place to lie down."

This blessed land is full of mysteries. Zhou Yan planned to let this guy digest his food here. The beast whimpered, glanced at the Great Sun Golden Crow dancing on the Bronze Divine Tree, and went to the opposite place.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Then I'll go back and bring the materials in."

There was no other way. Only Zhou Yan, or someone with a one-time jade talisman that Zhou Yan could condense using his aura and moonlight, could enter this place. So I had to roll up my sleeves and do it myself, transporting in the materials I could get my hands on one by one.

First, they took out the materials offered by the True Lord of Mount Heng: one hundred catties of each of the Five Elements Elite, ten pieces of Millennium Warm Jade, and a considerable amount of incense and gold beads.

These are all top-quality materials used for setting up the formation.

Even Nanyue, which isn't considered poor among the Five Sacred Mountains, felt the pinch.

They also brought out the basic materials for constructing the array in the Dharma Realm of the [True Immortal of the World] headquarters.

The next stage is the formation, construction, and building phase.

Ji Xuanyuan personally designed this part of the construction. After all, the dignified Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan still had an aesthetic sense. He patted his chest and guaranteed that everything could be left to him.

However, both of these ancestors were only barely able to move around.

Although they could complete the design, they couldn't personally push it forward. So Zhou Yan had to go out several more times and bring back many Taishan Guards. These Taishan Guards were all stone spirits under Shi Xuanxing's command, and they were strong and obedient.

Although he's a bit slow-witted, he performs tasks very well.

In particular, since they are pure earth elemental energy, this environment, where the five elements' energy is particularly prominent, is extremely beneficial to them. Even simply staying here can promote their cultivation.

These Taishan guards did not find it difficult; on the contrary, they were overjoyed, feeling that this place was simply a wonderful place for them to cultivate, opened up by the prefect!

After finishing all the hard work, Zhou Yan collapsed there. Suddenly, he remembered the scroll that Ji Xuanyuan had given him. He thought that he would be going to Chang'an City later, and that it would be easy to find things there. He wondered what materials he would need.

What Ji Xuanyuan said was only a little bit, not much...

Zhou Yan felt that he couldn't completely believe what his ancestor said; there must be a lot of truth to it. However, he was now quite wealthy.

It shouldn't be a problem.

He was mentally prepared. He opened the scroll and glanced at it. There were quite a few materials, but not an overwhelming amount, which relieved Zhou Yan slightly. Then he lowered his gaze and saw the units listed at the end—

Ten thousand jun (a unit of weight).

The composure on Lord Zhou's face gradually froze: "Hmm?"

"How many?!?"

Within the blessed land, Ji Xuanyuan and Chi You stood with their hands clasped together, looking at the core of the Five Elements condensation, which was the location of the divine power unleashed by Zhou Yan. To the left and right, sunlight and moonlight shone in parallel, illuminating all directions.

Simply by doing this, a vast and boundless aura soared into the sky.

Ji Xuanyuan stared in disbelief, then suddenly said:
"Or, we could have this kid collect some Jianmu trees."

"After Zhuanxu finished cutting them down, there should still be some left."

Chi You nodded and said casually.

"So, what's the name of the main hall in the center of your painting, the place where this is built?"

"Oh, this? That's not important." Ji Xuanyuan readily forgot about the names he had prepared beforehand and smiled gently.
"Let us name this place after his existence, based on the will and determination of those who come after him. Since this place was built based on his divine power that stabilized the five elements of this world."

"Then let's name it after his supernatural powers!"

Outside, Zhou Yan stared at the terrifying quantity of items behind the scroll, along with the numerous rare and precious treasures included, and cried out in anguish, "Ugh, so much stuff! What are you even planning to build?!"

Almost simultaneously, within the blessed land.

Ji Xuanyuan addressed Chi You, saying:

"It will be called—"

"【Tushita Palace】!"
