Chapter 734 Dinghai's Aid, Quelling the Flood

"If Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) were to intervene, this calamity could indeed be averted."

Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name) nodded in agreement, then turned to Eldrin (Person Name) and said, "But to secure his assistance, we would need someone of sufficient stature to make the request."

"I shall go personally."

Eldrin spoke, then cupped his hands toward the group. "I must trouble you all to construct the dam according to this diagram using whatever means necessary, ensuring the flow direction of Jade Ripple Lake remains undisturbed."

Qingci Sanren nodded and said, "Rest assured, with our methods, we can still stabilize the situation for now."

"Then I can rest easy."

After bidding farewell to the crowd, Eldrin dared not delay and flew straight toward the teleportation array.

He dared not delay along the journey, utilizing multiple teleportation arrays along the route while employing Heaven's Golden Wing Slash (Cultivation Art) to hasten his travel. In less than half a month, he had already located the monastic retreat of Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name).

After meeting Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name), Eldrin (Person Name) explained his purpose with a helpless sigh. "Brother, you will most likely attempt the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm within a 1000 years. I truly shouldn't have come to seek you out at such a time, but circumstances have left me with no other choice."

"Given the friendship between you and me, there's no need for such excessive concern." Maris the Sea Steader smiled faintly, stroking his beard as he said, "Though the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor strikes awe throughout the land, this old man doesn't fear him in the slightest."

"I shall emerge from seclusion and aid you in weathering this tribulation!"

"Then I offer my sincere thanks." A flicker of joy arose in Eldrin's heart. He cupped his hands in a salute once more and said, "With your assistance today, I shall certainly aid you, fellow Daoist, in transcending the Nascent Soul Tribulation in the future."

"With your word, I am at ease."

With a faint smile in her eyes, Maris the Sea Steader followed Eldrin as they flew toward the Myriad Ruins Continent.

Both were supreme experts, so their flight speed was naturally extraordinary. With the aid of teleportation arrays along the journey, they reached Tianxu Continent in just a few months.

After arriving in the Ling Kingdom, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) surveyed the water currents and declared, "With my Sea-Quelling Pearl (Magic Treasure), I can indeed stabilize these turbulent waters and divert them to follow the river course all the way to The Vast Sea (Location)."

"However, should that Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) emerge to cause chaos and destroy the dams we've painstakingly constructed along the way, I fear all my efforts would be utterly wasted."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions shifted subtly. Given the strength of the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), if he were truly determined to wreak havoc, he would indeed pose a grave threat to them all.

"Worry not. Should the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) dare to appear, this old man shall personally test his mettle."

Yet at this very moment, a white-robed figure emerged from the distant void, striding through the emptiness.

The newcomer was none other than Magnus the Virtuous Lord. At this moment, he had undergone a remarkable transformation—his profound spiritual power had actually doubled in intensity compared to that of a Great Perfection Nascent Soul expert.

"To think that after all these years apart, you have already guided your Earth Soul, Fellow Daoist." Maris the Sea Steader's eyes lit up as he couldn't help but smile. "With your assistance, that Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor should prove no great cause for concern."

It turned out that not long ago, Magnus the Virtuous Lord had secretly guided his Earth Soul during the very moment the Myriad Ruins Continent established itself as a new realm. True to his ambitions, he succeeded in breaking through in a single, decisive move.

After breaking through to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm), Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) found his magical power had more than doubled, while the strength of his soul had also vastly increased. His prowess could now truly be described as extraordinarily formidable.

At this stage, Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) had reached the pinnacle of power among Nascent Soul cultivators, standing on equal footing with even Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name).

With this level of strength, combined with the assistance of Eldrin and others, even the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor would likely hesitate to act recklessly.

At this thought, Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "In that case, let us begin."

With the aid of Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name), the flooding of the Emerald Wave Lake could finally be resolved.

Maris the Sea Steader bound the boundless deluge with the Sea-Calming Pearl, channeling infinite water essence as he journeyed toward The Vast Sea.

After 18 years of such relentless efforts, this great flood calamity was finally quelled.

According to post-disaster statistics, half of the Ling Kingdom was completely submerged, forming a vast lake, while nearly a third of the Yan Kingdom saw over a 1000 immortal clans suffer damages.

Moreover, The Vast Sea (Location) suffered severe devastation as well, with its entire area doubling in size. Coupled with the submergence of many small spirit islands, countless immortal clans lost their homes.

Fortunately, the major immortal clans worked together in unison. Under the leadership of the Chen Family, they constructed embankments and continuously reinforced vulnerable sections, ultimately preventing a greater catastrophe.

Although some had lost their homes, they received relatively proper resettlement.

Beyond the calamity, the flood at Emerald Mist Lake also brought immense opportunities. The deluge carried a multitude of demon beasts and spiritual creatures from the lake's depths, allowing many immortal clans to reap staggering profits.

After the floodwaters receded, numerous water-element earth veins emerged throughout the State of Ling, indicating that water-attuned cultivation resources within the Myriad Ruins Continent (Location) would substantially increase in the foreseeable future.

The greatest beneficiary, however, was The Vast Sea (Location). After the flood receded, it merged completely with Purple Jade Lake (Location), causing its water elemental power to surge by over twofold in a single night.

Throughout the entire Vast Sea (Location), it was likely that multiple fifth-grade water veins would gradually form in the future.

Otherwise, the water elemental power of The Vast Sea (Location) could have potentially nurtured a sixth-order ancestral water vein, had it not been dispersed back then by the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor.

That day, by the shore of The Vast Sea (Location), Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) gazed upon the immense expanse of The Vast Sea (Location), a trace of envy coloring his expression as he remarked:

After channeling the water essence of Emerald Wave Lake, The Vast Sea has now become second only to Nethersea, worthy of being called the second largest lake in Eastern Wastelands.

"If the Black Dragon Ancestor refrains from interference, this place may very well ascend to a Tier-6 Ancestral Vein in the future. Truly, even this old man finds it somewhat covetable."

Eldrin shook his head and smiled wryly. "The Vast Marsh is the greatest marshland in the Violet Realm, and it lies far too close to The Vast Sea."

"Once this water vein ascends to the rank of a Sixth-Order Ancestral Vein, it will inevitably siphon part of the aqueous primordial energy from the Vast Murky Marsh. The Black Dragon Demonic Ancestor would hardly stand idly by."

Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) pondered for a moment before nodding slowly. "Legends say the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor's cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm. Unless you possess at least mid to late-stage Nascent Soul strength, it would be unwise to provoke his wrath."

With that said, the 2 of them refrained from discussing the matter further.

Eldrin recalled the matter of cultivating spiritual veins within the Flaming Prison Sea, then cupped his hands toward Maris the Sea Steader and inquired, "I wonder, Brother Sea Steader, if you know of any Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root in this world capable of suppressing and regulating fire veins?"

"Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) for regulating fire meridians?"

Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) paused briefly before asking with a gentle smile, "You seek to regulate the lava energy of the Fiery Abyss Sea, don't you?"

"Indeed," Eldrin nodded.

Seeing that this was indeed the case, Maris the Sea Steader remarked, "The Eastern Wastelands is a land where the water and wood elements cycle. Resources of the water and wood attributes are abundant, while Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots of the fire attribute are relatively scarce."

"To find such a spiritual root, your best bet would be the Southern Ridge or the South Sea cultivation realm."

"It so happens that this old man will be heading to the South Sea in a few days. I shall make some inquiries on your behalf while I'm there."

Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) cupped his hands and said, "Then I offer my sincere thanks, Fellow Daoist."
