Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Lu Chen Yuan's voice was heavy and deep, like the earth rumbling; though not loud, it clearly reached everyone present: "Today, I have gathered you all."

First, to discuss the decline of water spiritual energy in the Tianyuan Realm.

Second, to allow the Xunlong Lineage and various factions to interact more.

At the start of the gathering, let the Array Masters of the Xunlong Lineage discuss array paths and earth vein arts; honored guests may listen in or interject at appropriate times."

As soon as he finished, Zhong Wen spoke first: "Master, when I surveyed the earth veins of Nanjiang, I discovered a crack in a spirit vein; ordinary vein-suppressing arrays cannot repair it."

Therefore, I wish to ask how the crack can heal on its own without external intervention?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen Yuan's gaze fell on the earth vein distribution map on the stone table; his right index fingertip lightly tapped the location of Nanjiang's spirit vein: "Nanjiang's earth veins are dry; cracks mostly result from an imbalance of earth vein spiritual energy, and with the recent sharp decline in water spiritual energy, earth spirit qi lost its nourishment, causing the cracks."

No need for forced repair; simply set up a Nourishing Vein Array, using Earth Vein Crystals as a guide to guide surrounding earth spirit qi to nourish the spirit vein, assisted by a small amount of water spiritual energy."

Within three months, the crack will heal on its own."

Zhong Wen frowned slightly: "But water spiritual energy is decreasing now... I have tried other methods, all to no effect."

"Use Water of the Yin River!"

Shen Tinglan spoke from the side: "Water of the Yin River contains rich water spiritual energy."

Though mixed with yin evil qi, as long as a Purification Array is set up, the yin evil qi can be removed, and using it to assist the Nourishing Vein Array will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Water of the Yin River?"

Wei Shanyue raised his voice, his face full of disapproval: "The Yin River contains the aura of the Tu Soil God; once Water of the Yin River is introduced into the earth veins, it will easily corrupt the spirit vein."

By then, not only will the spirit vein not be repaired, but the earth veins will be damaged—a loss outweighing the gain!"

Shen Tinglan waved his hand: "Daoist Brother Wei, that is not what I meant."

The Water of the Yin River I speak of is the surface water of the Yin River."

First, it has not been polluted by the Tu Soil God's aura."

Second, I will set up multiple Purification Arrays to ensure yin evil qi does not seep into the earth veins."

Now that water spiritual energy has decreased so much, this is already the safest method; we cannot simply watch the spirit vein deteriorate step by step until it completely withers, can we?"

"You!"

Wei Shanyue's face turned red, about to refute, but Lu Chen Yuan raised his hand to stop him: "Tinglan is right; now water spiritual energy is decreasing, and earth vein spiritual energy is imbalanced."

If not intervened in time, more spirit veins will crack, even wither."

The surface water of the Yin River can temporarily replace water spiritual energy; assisted by a Purification Array, it will not pollute the earth veins."

Zhong Wen, you may try Tinglan's method."

Zhong Wen nodded slightly: "Disciple obeys."

Afterward, the Array Masters of the Xunlong Lineage spoke in turn, asking and answering questions about array paths and earth veins.

Someone asked how to quickly survey hidden spirit veins.

Shen Tinglan explained the essence of the "Duying Technique" in detail and demonstrated it once; his fingertip lightly touched the ground, and a streak of spiritual light seeped underground; shortly after, a faint spirit vein pattern appeared on the ground.

Someone asked how to break evil arrays that destroy spirit veins.

Tie Hanjiang spoke; though his tone was cold and stern, he also explained in detail the use of the "Vein Severing Sword" and the key to breaking evil arrays.

Liu Yan shared information about spirit veins from various places he had collected while traveling Tian Xia, mentioning that in Xiyu there was a spirit vein suspected of being polluted by the Tu Soil God's aura, causing earth vein spiritual energy to become abnormally turbid.

The exchange among Array Masters lasted nearly one hour.

During this time, many honored guests also interjected at appropriate times, asking about earth vein and array path issues related to their own sects; the core members of the Xunlong Lineage answered them one by one, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Xu Zhangqing quietly watched from the side, not rushing to speak.

Since he had come, he might as well first observe the various opinions quietly and understand the situation before speaking.

After the exchange among Array Masters ended, Lu Chen Yuan spoke again, his gaze sweeping over all the honored guests present: "Alright, the array path exchange will pause here for now."

Next, please tell me your doubts, especially regarding the decline of water spiritual energy; do any of you have discoveries?"

As soon as he finished, the Palace Master of the Northern Domain Binghan Palace stood up first: "Sect Master Lu, most disciples of my Northern Domain Binghan Palace have Water or Ice Spiritual Roots; this decline in water spiritual energy has greatly affected my palace's disciples' cultivation."

Many disciples' progress has stagnated, and even several disciples about to undergo the Calamity have had to delay their Calamity due to insufficient spiritual energy."

I would like to ask, what exactly is the cause of this?"

Does the Xunlong Lineage have a solution?"

As soon as the Binghan Palace Master finished speaking, the Valley Master of Wandu Valley spoke up: "My Wandu Valley, though most disciples have Wood or Wind Spiritual Roots, if water spiritual energy continues to decrease, the toxicity of poisonous creatures will also drop significantly."

Moreover, I have discovered that the earth vein spiritual energy in the Southern Region is becoming increasingly turbid, as if something is polluting the earth veins."

Afterward, Sect Masters and Family Heads from various domains spoke in turn, describing the impacts of the decline in water spiritual energy.

Someone said the sect's Spirit Fields were starting to wither, and Lingti production had dropped significantly.

Someone said Water Spiritual Root disciples faced doubled Calamity difficulty, and some disciples had failed their Calamity, perishing body and soul.

Someone else said river and lake water levels everywhere were slowly dropping, and many mortal villages were even facing water shortages.

Everyone spoke at once, their tones full of anxiety and worry.

Almost everyone's questions revolved around the decline of water spiritual energy.

At this moment, the Great Master of the Xizang Esoteric Sect spoke: "Recently, while I surveyed the earth veins of Xiyu, I discovered that the decline in water spiritual energy was not accidental."

Since the Tu Soil God appeared, the earth vein spiritual energy in Xiyu began to show abnormalities."

Water spiritual energy seems to be absorbed by the earth veins, or swallowed by some kind of power."

Over time, this has caused water spiritual energy between heaven and earth to become less and less."

"I suspect that the decrease in Water Spirit Qi is closely related to the Tu Soil God."

"Correct!"

A Family Head from a great clan of the Central Region echoed, "I have a Spirit Spring in the Central Region; recently, the Ruquan Shui has become turbid, even bubbling up mud."

The Spiritual Vein at the bottom of the spring has become extremely strange, and one can faintly sense the aura of the Tu Soil God."

Upon hearing this, everyone present erupted in an uproar.

Instantly, all gazes gathered on Lu Chen Yuan.

Xu Zhangqing thought to himself, "The Tu Soil God first appeared in the Central Region; you people are just late to realize it."

Feeling the expectant gazes of everyone, Lu Chen Yuan closed his eyes, as if listening to the voice of the Spiritual Vein; after a moment, he opened his eyes again, the faint light in his pupils growing deeper: "The decrease in Water Spirit Qi indeed began from the moment the Tu Soil God appeared."

The Tu Soil God is the god of dead silence and decay; its aura corrupts the Spiritual Vein, causing an imbalance of Earth Pulse Spirit Qi, and Water Spirit Qi is closely related to Earth Pulse Spirit Qi—when the Spiritual Vein is corrupted, Water Spirit Qi will naturally be affected.

"Either absorbed by the Spiritual Vein, or devoured by evil power."

Someone asked eagerly: "That is to say, as long as the Tu Soil God is eliminated, Water Spirit Qi can return to normal?"
