Transmigrating into a Book and Reversing Fortune

Chapter 67 Peaceful Reconstruction and New Explorations

In the aftermath of the great war, the entire alliance dedicated itself to the work of rebuilding peace in the world. Towns and villages ravaged by the Shadow Cult and the Sea Demons lay in ruins, a landscape of sorrow and desolation permeating the crumbling walls. Xuan Yuanche and Su Yao mobilized the alliance's manpower and resources, dispatching cultivators skilled in civil engineering to use earth magic to move boulders and repair city walls; healing cultivators moved among the wounded, gently healing their wounds with their spiritual energy and comforting the people who had suffered so much from the war.

During the reconstruction process, people discovered that although the Shadow Cult had been defeated and the Sea Demon had hidden in the deep sea, the world's spiritual energy channels had become disordered. Some spiritual channels that were originally full of spiritual energy had dried up, while some areas experienced reverse flow and violent phenomena of spiritual energy, which brought many inconveniences and dangers to cultivators' training and the lives of ordinary people.

Xuanyuan Che realized that the world's spiritual energy channels must be repaired as soon as possible; otherwise, even if the evil forces were temporarily repelled, the world would find it difficult to restore true prosperity and stability. Therefore, he summoned wise men and scholars within the alliance who had extensive research on spiritual energy channels to discuss solutions together.

A wise man with white hair proposed: "Legend has it that on the roof of the world—the summit of Lingxiao—there exists a sacred tree of spiritual energy, which is the core and origin of the world's spiritual energy network. If we can find the sacred tree and use its power, we may be able to repair the spiritual energy network of the entire world. However, the summit of Lingxiao is treacherous, has a harsh climate, and is protected by powerful spirits, so reaching it is not an easy task."

After a moment of contemplation, Xuan Yuanche said, "No matter how difficult it is, we must try. This concerns the future of the world." Su Yao nodded in agreement, "I will continue to organize the reconstruction work from the rear and provide you with support. You must be careful on your journey."

Xuan Yuanche selected several powerful cultivators skilled in mountaineering and adapting to harsh environments to form an expedition team, which set off towards the summit of Lingxiao. The summit of Lingxiao, located at the highest point in the world, soared into the clouds, its peaks covered in ice and snow, with biting winds sweeping across it like blades. Along the way, they encountered countless hardships and dangers.

First, there was the treacherous mountain path, with steep cliffs that inspired fear. The cultivators had to use lightness spells to climb cautiously. Sometimes, they even needed to rely on wind magic to leap across the narrow mountain trails. And during the climb, huge snowballs would occasionally tumble down the mountain, hurtling towards them like cannonballs. The cultivators could only dodge them as they continued forward.

Near the summit, they entered a powerful psionic storm zone. Within the storm, raging spiritual energy swept through like lightning; a slight misstep could result in being struck and having one's meridians damaged. Xuan Yuanche stood at the front of the group, using a shield formed from the fusion of the power of the Azure Crystal and the Heart of Chaos to struggle against the storm's onslaught. The other cultivators, protected by their shields, supported each other, inching forward step by step.

Finally, they reached the summit of Lingxiao. A strange sight appeared before them: a colossal Spirit Tree stood at the center of the mountaintop, its trunk incredibly thick, its branches and leaves lush, radiating a soft light. However, several powerful spirits guarded the sacred tree. These spirits resembled Qilin, but their bodies radiated multicolored light, their eyes warily watching Xuan Yuanche and his companions.

Xuanyuan Che stepped forward and respectfully said, "We have come to repair the world's spiritual energy channels and have no ill intentions. We hope you will allow us to draw upon the power of the Spirit Source Sacred Tree." The spirits seemed to understand his words, but still did not move aside. They let out low growls, as if warning Xuanyuan Che and the others not to approach.

Xuanyuan Che knew that a battle was unavoidable. He said to his team members behind him, "Try not to harm these spirits. We just want to communicate with them and let them understand our intentions." After saying that, he first released a gentle spiritual energy fluctuation, trying to establish a connection with the spirits.

Sensing Xuan Yuanche's goodwill, the spirits lessened their attacks. However, they remained steadfast in their duty, preventing Xuan Yuanche and his companions from approaching the Spirit Source Sacred Tree. Thus, a stalemate ensued.

During the standoff, Xuan Yuanche continuously conveyed the current state of the world and the importance of repairing the spiritual energy channels to the spirits. Gradually, the spirits seemed to be moved. One of the spirits slowly approached Xuan Yuanche, sniffing his scent as if to determine the credibility of his words.

Taking the opportunity, Xuanyuan Che conveyed his love for the world, his yearning for peace, and his belief in protecting all living things to the spirit. The spirit was finally moved by his sincerity, and it turned to walk towards the Sacred Tree of Spiritual Origin, while the other spirits made way for it.

Xuanyuan Che arrived at the foot of the Sacred Tree of Spiritual Origin. He reached out and touched the trunk, connecting his spiritual power with the power of the sacred tree. He sensed the disorder and pain in the world's spiritual energy channels, and a feeling of compassion welled up in his heart. Using the power of the Heart of Chaos and the Azure Crystal, he guided the power of the sacred tree to begin repairing the world's spiritual energy channels.

As the power of the Sacred Tree was infused, the spiritual energy channels throughout the world gradually returned to normal. The dried-up spiritual veins regained their vitality, and the raging spiritual energy became docile. Cultivators felt the changes in spiritual energy; their cultivation speed increased, and ordinary people were no longer troubled by the reverse flow of spiritual energy.

After successfully repairing the spiritual energy channels, Xuan Yuanche led the expedition team back to the Alliance headquarters. Thanks to the combined efforts of peace reconstruction and spiritual energy restoration, the world gradually regained its former prosperity and vitality. But Xuan Yuanche and Su Yao knew this was only the beginning. Many unknown mysteries awaited their exploration, and potential threats needed to be guarded against. They would continue to lead the Alliance, protecting the peace and tranquility of the world, forging ahead on the path of exploration and protection, writing their own legendary story.
