Chapter 848: Mapping the Scene Based on the Map

~9 min read 1,633 words

Although Sect Master Kong wanted to know what the "few small matters" they mentioned were, he was not a cultivator with a heavy sense of curiosity and did not ask further.

"So, do you two intend to stay in our sect for two months, and after two months I will write a letter back to Zhang Laosan saying you two have been doing well here, or do you want to do something else?"

Sect Master Kong wanted to know the true thoughts of Lu Yang and the other. They were not the first batch of disciples sent to their sect; besides the Wendao Sect, the other four Great Immortal Sects, as well as Super-grade and First-grade sects, all had the habit of sending disciples who had made mistakes to do mandatory labor here.

Among them, some disciples were willing to accept punishment, while others were reluctant to work. For the latter, Sect Master Kong found it troublesome to make arrangements, so he simply let them stay in the sect and return on their own after the term expired.

Meng Jingzhou bowed and said earnestly: "Since we have made a mistake, we should be punished. Moreover, this is a rare experience. My junior brother and I are willing to make some contributions to the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect."

"Not bad." Sect Master Kong nodded. These two not only had extraordinary cultivation talent but also commendable character; they were rare good seedlings.

At such a young age, they had already reached the mid-stage of Spirit Transformation; no one in the current era could surpass them.

"How much do you two know about our sect?"

Speaking of this, Lu Yang and the other looked at each other, their expressions somewhat embarrassed, as they knew very little about the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect.

Seeing their expressions, Sect Master Kong knew what they were thinking and smiled to ease the awkward atmosphere: "It is normal for very few cultivators to know about our sect."

"Don't look at our sect as having little fame; it is actually very useful to cultivators. I will tell you a few things, and you will know the importance of our sect."

"The Qingzhou Celebration was held halfway through when it was unfortunately destroyed by the Calamity Venerable. Several mountains were leveled or simply disappeared during the battle. Our sect spent a great deal of effort to find the original appearance of those mountains and rebuilt them."

"The sixth Emperor of the Great Yu, Wu Youdao, attacked Hanshui City in Huangzhou and fought with the Dou Tianzun of the Ancient Heavenly Court, returning in defeat. Part of Hanshui City's housing was destroyed, and the area outside the city was ruined beyond recognition. The fact that Hanshui City has now been restored to its original state is the result of our Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect's labor."

"There is also Spring River City, which was pulled into the Void Realm by the Void Venerable. Although the city itself was fine, the commoners witnessed the battle between half-immortals and were terrified, so we also provided psychological counseling and comfort."

"For example, the Immortal Battle in the Imperial City, where Meng Junzi and the Great Yu Imperial Preceptor fought, many of the Imperial City's landmark buildings were destroyed and left scarred. It was our sect that took action to make the Imperial City look brand new and restore it to its original state."

"And the Xitian Temple, which was blown up by the clone of the Central Heavenly Emperor, has not yet been restored. If our sect had taken action, the Xitian Temple would have been repaired long ago."

Sect Master Kong listed the major events his sect had handled over the years, his tone inevitably tinged with showing off.

Lu Yang and the other nodded while listening to the introduction, gaining a new understanding of the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect. They were eyewitnesses to these great battles and knew how difficult the cleanup work after such battles was; the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect truly had its unique strengths.

During the conversation, a young man walked in. Seeing Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, he showed a look of slight surprise but did not say much, prioritizing the matter at hand: "Master, a task request has arrived."

"What is the content?"

"It is a duel between two mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators three days from now in the Qingniu Mountain Range. They hope that after the battle ends, our sect will restore the Qingniu Mountain Range to its original state."

In addition to tasks assigned by the Imperial Court, the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect was also responsible for the cleanup work of ordinary cultivators' battles.

The latter was divided into two situations: either commissioning the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect after the battle, or commissioning them before the battle. The fee standard for the second situation was lower than the first.

After all, the first situation required the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect to find the appearance before the battle through other channels, while the second situation allowed them to inspect it in advance, saving a lot of trouble.

"Three days from now, then." Sect Master Kong looked at Lu Yang and the other. "It just so happens that you two can be brought along to familiarize yourselves with our sect's work process."

"Master, are these two Daoist Lu Yang and Daoist Meng Jingzhou?" the young man asked.

Nowadays, except for those cultivators who had been in seclusion for years, there was no one in the world who did not recognize Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

"By the way, I haven't introduced you to each other yet."

"This is my eldest disciple, Fang Jin. He mastered the Law of Heaven and Earth as soon as he entered the Integration stage."

Sect Master Kong smiled and stroked his beard, very satisfied with his eldest disciple. One had to know that this great divine ability, the Law of Heaven and Earth, was something even nine out of ten late-stage Integration cultivators could not learn. Fang Jin learning it at the early stage of Integration showed his talent in this area, and no one would have any objections to him inheriting the position of Sect Master in the future.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Fang Jin."

"Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Meng, I have heard of you from Senior Brother Dai Bufan. He praised you as upright, chivalrous, and righteous, and he often has the urge to pass the position of Hall Master of the Task Hall to you right now!"

Lu Yang's eyelid twitched. Was Senior Brother Dai praising them? It didn't quite sound like it.

"Fang Jin, take them around the sect. They will be staying in our sect for the next two months to help out."

"Yes."

The Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect was very large, encompassing various terrains. This was an area specifically designated by the Imperial Court for sect disciples to practice the art of moving mountains and filling seas. There were also buildings of various styles within the sect, and repairing buildings was also one of their tasks.

Walking through the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect was like traveling through the entire Great Xia, witnessing various customs and practices.

Three days later, to show his importance, Sect Master Kong led the team himself, taking Lu Yang and the others to the Qingniu Mountain Range.

Along the way, the disciples were all curiously discussing Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, who were standing on the left and right of Sect Master Kong. They never expected to see these two legendary figures in person. More importantly, these two would be staying in the sect for two months, and in the future, they could stand tall and say to their peers that they had met Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

The group arrived at the Qingniu Mountain Range. The two mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators had not yet arrived, so everyone followed the pre-arranged plan, working together in an orderly manner to carry out the investigation and use the recording orbs to map the site.

"With the recording orbs from the Qiongqi tribe, this work is really easy."

"Indeed, it is said that these recording orbs come from that ancestor of the Qiongqi tribe; it's truly remarkable."

The disciples of the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect praised the recording orbs endlessly; mapping the site used to be quite laborious.

The Immortal Fairy looked at the busy figures and sighed with emotion: "You are all mapping the scene based on the site now; in our time, we mapped the site based on the map."

"... Mapping the scene based on the map?" Lu Yang felt this sounded very unfamiliar.

"At that time, Ying Ying Tian Xian said he felt the terrain was not dangerous or domineering enough. The five of us became immortals, and there were countless half-immortals and Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, so it was bound to be a colorful era in later generations."

"But the current terrain did not match their cultivation; the mountains were too short, the seas too shallow, and the trees too low."

"Yue Xian and the other three all agreed with Ying Ying Tian Xian's point of view. The four of them tinkered with a brand-new map, moved various races to livable areas according to this map, and then used knives and axes to change the terrain."

"Fairy, that's called 'great strokes'."

"Oh, then they used big knives and wide axes to change the terrain, creating mountain ranges that reached into the universe and oceans that reached the center of the earth."

"They also moved several supreme-grade spirit stone mines to a planet, saying that this would give birth to supreme-grade spirit stone creatures."

"And the Twenty-Eight Mansions and the Big Dipper were also shaped by Ying Ying Tian Xian and the others pushing the stars."
