Several days later, Jade Bottle Continent.
A streak of blood-red tunneling light glided leisurely across the sky, its speed relaxed and unhurried.
Ning Daoran looked down at the earth below, his mood growing heavier as he observed the scene before him, identical to the legends. The entirety of Jade Bottle Continent had been ravaged and shattered in the last great battle. Over 90% of its landmass had sunk beneath the sea, and most Spirit Veins on the continent had withered away, leaving no trace of Spiritual Energy.
Thus, despite his Evergreen-level cultivation, the notion of restoring the mountains and rivers of Jade Bottle Continent was an insurmountable challenge.
"Earth Tunneling!"
He performed two spells, transformed into a streak of tunneling light, and dove underground, beginning his exploration of Jade Bottle Continent's current vein pathways.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
