Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing sprinkled twice, but didn't feel any changes within Jinlan Mountain. He rolled his eyes, went to the back mountain, and sighed deeply at the black stone.

"I know this thing is greatly beneficial to you, but you can't keep it all to yourself like a pixiu, taking in everything and giving out nothing, can you?

Could you leave some behind to nourish the mountain, and see if the Jinlan Mushroom can grow naturally?

Right now, planting a Jinlan Mushroom is too costly. It's not worth it."

Yu Ziqing gently persuaded the Jade Tomb, then sprinkled the rosy clouds again, consuming a large amount of the Three Calamities' power.

This time, it was obvious that there was life gestating within Jinlan Mountain.

Having done all this, most of the accumulated power of the Three Calamities was depleted.

However, there was still a constant supply of the Three Calamities' power, so Yu Ziqing wasn't afraid of being unable to recover.

After finishing these tasks, Yu Ziqing stayed quietly in Jinlan Mountain to recuperate, cultivating silently and digesting the Earth Devil Venerate.

...

Dadui's first five-year plan was progressing vigorously.

They harvested the various grains that had been left to grow freely and cultivated wasteland.

The earth's aura was mobilized, the River God guided the rivers, the Mountain God drove away the wild livestock, and cultivators patrolled each area.

These beings, who were usually aloof and possessed power far beyond mortals, were terrifyingly efficient when they truly began to work.

Now in Dadui, the enormous accumulated power of the Three Calamities had dissipated and the nation's fortune began to recover. Even the newly generated Three Calamities' power was forcibly absorbed.

In just over a month, many places had already become completely stable and resumed production.

At this time, anyone who wanted to cause trouble would die silently.

In the temporary cabinet, those who were usually the softest-hearted and kindest were now ruthless and would not allow anyone to cause problems.

Especially those Earth Deities whom they were lenient with, they were the main targets of the Faceless Man's supervision.

If anyone crossed the line or made a mistake, it would result in the destruction of mountains and temples.

Everything presented a thriving scene with a promising future.

This was a sight that Dadui hadn't seen for a very long time.

The place where the archway entered was quietly fixed by Yu Ziqing in a location, always guarded, without fear of outsiders causing trouble.

This was the time Yu Ziqing had fought for them.

...

In the Abyss, within the Nu River, Black Sky Devils were everywhere. They were continually emerging from the Nu River to battle other devils.

A human-shaped devil sneaked into the Nu River, going downstream, and quickly found his target.

Following a small Abyssal Rift deep within the Nu River, he left the Abyss.

However, as soon as he crossed the boundary, the dreadful pressure crushed his bones and mangled his flesh, shrinking his form several times over.

A bloodied, fleshy mass floated out from the Abyssal Rift at the seabed, slowly rising.

Slowly, the mass rolled and changed, and the devil's body returned to normal.

He looked down at the seabed and shook his head.

"No wonder there's this rift, no devils ever came through."

He surfaced, showing his head, and the devil patterns on his face slowly faded. Moments later, he completely took human form, and the devil's aura grew faint.

With a slight tilt of his head, he sniffed the sea breeze. A strange power surfaced, and he took a gentle breath. After one incense stick of time, an almost imperceptible trace of demonic qi floated at his nose, which he inhaled.

"Hmm, there's actually a Heavenly Demon's aura..."

Following that faint trace of aura, he sensed, continued diving into the sea, and disappeared.

Eighteen thousand miles away.

The undersea volcano had finished its violent eruption, with only a large amount of magma still flowing out from the crater.

It was as if a black smoke was steadily rising from the seabed.

Deep inside the volcano, within the vast Magma Sea, a metal box was influenced by a faint force, dragging four chains, swimming in the Magma Sea.

Among the natural disasters incited by the Earth Devil Venerate, almost all those occurring on land were suppressed.

Only within that vast East Sea did the violent seismic activity succeed, triggering several volcanoes.

Sea creatures were actually the most numerous, and the disaster caused great damage.

And always suppressed Freedom Heaven took this opportunity of seismic and volcanic activities to escape from the Suppression Land.

In the violent seismic activity, even mountains and seabeds crumbled and shattered. The places where the chains were anchored also shattered, unable to fix the metal box in the Suppression Land.

The metal box drifted along with the waves, slowly flowing with the magma, moving towards an active volcano still spewing magma, under the faint guidance of Freedom Heaven.

Days later, the metal box floated up with the magma, slowly emerging from the volcano's mouth.

But soon after, the sealed Freedom Heaven sensed someone outside.

The human-shaped devil stood at the volcano mouth, watching the metal box floating in the magma, and suddenly laughed.

"You, a Heavenly Demon, have actually fallen to such a state, truly disgraceful."

The metal box floated without any change, directly ignoring the person outside.

Seeing the metal box about to sink again, the human-shaped devil reached out and grabbed a chain, pulling it out of the magma.

The human-shaped devil overlooked the metal box, sneered, and said,
