The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seemed to have altered the local climate, resulting in this unprecedented downpour.
Countless cultivators emerged from deep mountains, traveled to various locations to gather information, and then compiled their findings to send to the authorities.
The increasingly dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi finally made its impact on the natural environment noticeable to people.
However, what Qing Wudi was concerned about was different.
While others focused only on the natural conditions, he focused on the initial source of this storm—the first person who noticed the flood and blocked the river mouth.
In three days, although the breach in the river was blocked, the impact of the flood was still expanding.
When Qing Wudi arrived at the river mouth, he found a large number of officials setting up checkpoints nearby.
He used an Illusion Technique to deceive the security personnel, entered the deepest part, and saw the youth floating in mid-air like an immortal.
When Qing Wudi saw this person, he was suddenly taken aback.
In his eyes, this person seemed not human but rather a Tree of Life standing between heaven and earth.
The Life Spiritual Qi emanating from him was exceedingly dense, extending over ten thousand meters.
How could such terrifying Life Spiritual Qi possibly be stored within a human being?
While pondering over this, he noticed the other person had spotted him; their eyes met, and Qing Wudi's body suddenly tightened before he floated up into the air.
"Are you here to resolve the flood disaster?"
Lin Beichen stared calmly at the person before him.
Five days ago, after resolving the Bright Pearl Mouth Array, he decided to travel the world, setting up arrays to block Spiritual Qi.
However, this action encountered a problem.
The Bright Pearl Mouth Array absorbed a vast amount of Spiritual Qi, causing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to directly break through to the next phase, and the current Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had started to affect all living things.
It might result in an earthquake, a torrential rain, or even a gale capable of destroying cities.
Various disasters kept manifesting, and Lin Beichen, being only one person, could do little.
At this moment, he desperately needed to find insightful individuals who could assist in solving the problems together.
The sudden development of this era was not only beyond the ordinary people's ability to keep up but also dragged civilization behind.
This was a very serious issue.
"In times of difficulties under heaven, having received the grace of heaven and earth, we naturally should step out and lend a hand."
Qing Wudi said humbly, extending his hand, releasing a terrifyingly extreme flame. Pure Earth and Fire Spiritual Qi instantly melted nearby rocks, which he then brought over to build an enormous embankment.
The embankment, consisting of three massive rocks, formed an impenetrable wall, blocking the forceful river waters.
Lin Beichen's eyes brightened instantly, looking at the person before him with admiration.
This person's ability had already reached Tier Five in Spiritual Qi Cultivation.
At this stage, he already qualified to attempt impacting a Spirit Body.
With just one more step, he could become a so-called Mystic Sect cultivator, and another step beyond that, a so-called Divine Sect cultivator.
This youth was the top cultivator Lin Beichen had encountered these past few days.
Powerful, and his eyes were so pure.
There was a moment when Lin Beichen even entertained the thought of appointing him as the master of the Bright Pearl Mouth Array.
Years of cautious experience suppressed Lin Beichen's impulse, and he then said faintly,
"This place will need two more months. After two months, if the flood has subsided, you can come find me at the Bright Pearl Mouth Array, and I will offer you an opportunity."
With that, Lin Beichen vanished, leaving only a Seed of Life at the spot.
Qing Wudi grasped the seed, a flash of surprise once again flickering in his eyes.
With just a single seed, yet he felt like he held dominion over the entire world.
If this Seed of Life were simply ingested, it could grant a thousand years of undying life force, yet doing so would be a wasteful act.
The Seed of Life ought to be planted. Planting it in the ground would be a last resort; planting it within one's heart, within one's own Daoist Skill legacy, would allow it to exert its greatest potential.
The Seed of Life was merely a rudimentary concept; its broader utility was as an abstract rule seed.
With this seed, it could render certain entities alive.
There are always stages in life that are difficult to ascend. Ingesting this item would allow a breakthrough in whichever realm one currently inhabits.
Above the Divine Sect, is there a path? What lies above the Divine Sect's gate?
When no further progress can be made, simply consuming this seed could reveal a far extended pathway before one's eyes.
He cautiously stowed the seed away, glancing at the security personnel behind him.
Under usual circumstances, he would have killed all these people and demolished the entire city.
Destroying the city would naturally eliminate the city's issues.
However, pondering his needs, he refrained from such measures.
The person before him should be the legendary Lin Beichen.
He had only heard the name before and hadn't realized this person's true terrifying nature.
Two months later, this would indeed be worth anticipating.
After Lin Beichen left the disaster-stricken city, he embarked on a new journey.
He planned to spend two months traveling the world, observing the impact of Spiritual Qi disasters.
A new era would give rise to new crises, but also simultaneously to new opportunities.
One cannot simply stop progressing due to encountering some difficulties.
Upon encountering troubles, one must figure out a way to resolve them; that's the correct approach.
In the ensuing two months, Lin Beichen traveled tirelessly across the country's landscape.
He meticulously observed every disaster-stricken site, solving what he could instantly and using awe-inspiring Divine Techniques to temporarily seal those beyond immediate resolution to minimize the impact.
Over the course of two months, Lin Beichen had successfully resolved over two hundred disasters.
During this time, he also encountered some promising individuals.
Among them were Death Gate Realm cultivators renowned for hundreds of years and young Celestial Gate novices, as well as some who weren't cultivators at all, merely ordinary mortals.
Yet even mortals could unleash infinite possibilities.
Lin Beichen sensed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi closely, realizing it was still insufficient to nourish ordinary people.
Ordinary people lacked the Spirit Veins required for cultivating Spiritual Qi, and to evoke such inspiration, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would have to be amplified over ten thousand times.
Such augmentation of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi offered no hope of realization for at least a decade.
Upon realizing this, Lin Beichen let out a soft sigh.
He originally had two plans, one simpler plan, where upon sufficient Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi abundance, he would freely distribute the cultivation method so everyone could cultivate, naturally adjusting to the calamities of the world.
This was the simplest solution, but it now seemed he had been overly optimistic.
The second stage of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi barely satisfied the existing cultivators, whose numbers were less than ten thousand.
At this stage, though the world had mutated, it was merely an illusion.
The cycle of Spiritual Qi sustaining ordinary people and altering nature were separate.
If focusing solely on one cycle, there could be significant bias.
"I have been away for over two months, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi disaster seems most severe in Dragon Country, while the farther one is from Dragon Country, the less severe the disaster."
Lin Beichen reflected, concluding the experiences from this journey of heaven and earth.
Dragon Country, being at the center of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, suffered the most during this disaster.
This indicates that the range of influence of the Heaven and Earth Array currently only encompasses Dragon Country.
The world beyond still needs to experience several cycles of Nirvana.
Whether domestic or abroad, they all need to be incorporated into the Heaven and Earth Array.
Lin Beichen concluded his domestic journey and returned to the Phoenix Mouth.
The Phoenix Mouth Array, even without Lin Beichen's oversight, would continue to operate autonomously.
During Lin Beichen's two-month absence, the Spiritual Qi here had accumulated to a certain level, quietly awaiting his return for the first round of transformation.
As the stars moved and the seasons changed, with Lin Beichen's arrival, the Heaven and Earth Array finally welcomed back its master.
