Chapter 1056: 578 Chapter 1056: 578 The vast expanse of the plains stretched to the horizon, with not a soul in sight!

Chen Mobai had reached the very edge of Rainbow Country, and with his vision, he could only see a few withered yellow wild grasses on the endless desert, lifeless and desolate.

“Sect Leader, beyond this point lies the Boundless Sand Sea, where the Earth Spirit Locusts have completely devoured all vitality, even consuming the Spirit Veins. Once a cultivator enters, they can’t absorb an ounce of Spiritual Energy and must rely solely on Spirit Stones they carry to replenish themselves,”

Town Guard Yan Yuanhao, gesturing toward the boundless yellow sands and the dome-like sky extending in all directions, said to Chen Mobai.

This was also the border of the Eastern Wilderness.

Many cultivators with no other recourse would run here, where Chen Mobai’s Void Spirit Eye could see the numerous white bones buried beneath the yellow sands.

It is said that after suppressing the locust plague, a great cultivator from the Eastern Earth Holy Land also tried to cross the Boundless Sand Sea, but after three years, he returned, openly stating that the Sand Sea’s land was barren and not worth his time to explore further.

“I’ll walk ahead; you wait here.”

Chen Mobai gestured for Yan Yuanhao to stay put and then rode on a rainbow-colored cloud, flying a kilometer into the Boundless Sand Sea.

Indeed, the Spiritual Energy grew thinner and thinner, and he estimated that it was barely enough to satisfy a Qi Practitioner for consumption.

After flying another twenty kilometers forward, Chen Mobai glanced at the Spiritual Energy progress bar of the Formless Puppet, which had only 1% left.

He stopped, replaced his Top-grade Spirit Stone, and also halted his steps.

It was time to return.

However, before going back, there were a few things he needed to do.

He descended onto the surface of the Sand Sea, scooped up a handful of grit, and stored it in his Storage Bag.

Then he maximized the Formless Puppet’s function to search for Spiritual Energy, and about a few minutes later, the display showed dots of red light representing the Spirit Veins.

“As expected, although this place has been gnawed into a boundless desert by the locusts, the Spirit Veins deep within the earth have revived some Spiritual Energy after thousands of years…”

Although it can’t be said to have fully recovered, where there is Spiritual Energy, there is the possibility of transforming heaven and earth.

On Di Yuan Star, there were once thousands of miles of yellow sand, but through the persistent efforts of Jumang Academy, it was all transformed into the oases and forests of what is now Linwu Cave Haven!

It is said that the Great Chun Tree was able to ascend to the Sixth Rank precisely because of the merit gained from sand control.

If he ever unified the Eastern Desolation, this project of sand control could also be incorporated into the future reforms.

However, the Boundless Sand Sea was much vaster than that of Di Yuan Star, and the Spirit Veins had been nibbled too severely by the Earth Spirit Locusts. Without a Divine Tree of the Great Chun’s caliber to regulate the earth’s veins and draw the auspicious moisture from the sky, relying solely on the manpower of cultivators would certainly be impossible.

While the Boundless Sand Sea might be beyond help, there was great hope for this area of Rainbow Country.

After all, although the soil had also become sandy, the core Spirit Veins were largely intact; with the right methods and perseverance, it was possible to transform this land into a forest sea.

Chen Mobai also thought of Rock Country and Sky Country, which bordered Rainbow Country.

These two countries were situated on the Eastern Desolation Plateau, brimming with mountains and streams. Before the locust plague, the land was fertile and lush with vegetation, featuring a variety of Spirit Trees and Spirit Fruits, as well as abundant mineral resources, making it the greatest treasure land of the Eastern Wilderness.

Unfortunately, after the locust plague, and years of erosion by the winds of the Boundless Sand Sea, the soil degraded and lost its fertility, leaving most areas unsuitable for planting.

It’s been said that like Rock and Sky Countries before the desolation, Rainbow Country was not a desert when the Eastern Wilderness was first pioneered.

It turned into what it is now only after more than six thousand years of continuous erosion by the Boundless Sand Sea.

If one intended to fight the desertification, one would first need to plant a vast protective forest on the side of Rainbow Country, but this also required solving the problem of water sources.

Although cultivators can summon rain, facing this boundless expanse of desert, they can at best satisfy the need momentarily and could not possibly waste all their cultivation time on this task.

However, Chen Mobai had various successful experiences from the Immortal Gate, and he wielded the sprawling sands of the sky to conjure a map of the Eastern Wilderness in front of him in the void.

After pondering for a moment, he pointed at Yun Meng Ze, which bordered Sky Country.

He could dig a grand canal to direct the abundant water from this source, flowing through Sky Country, Rock Country, and then to Rainbow Country, using it for afforestation and desert control.

Only by harnessing the majestic power of nature could one renew the face of the earth and sky.

However, to endeavor such a project, one must wait until he unified the Eastern Wilderness, and the territory was secured.

After all, sand control would take decades or centuries to see results, and without a powerful force and a peaceful environment, it was absolutely impossible to complete.

But in his heart, Chen Mobai was already planning this act of merit.

Since sand control was a long-term project and he had to keep busy with cultivation and managing the two realms, it would be difficult for him to control this personally in the future.

Fortunately, he had an exceptionally talented disciple.

Zhuo Ming!

Her talent was extremely suitable for this task.

Perhaps, her birth in the Eastern Desolation land was precisely for accomplishing this great deed.

As her master and the chief engineer of the sand control project, so long as Zhuo Ming completed this act of merit, Chen Mobai could at the very least share half of it.

At that thought, Chen Mobai faintly felt that his second disciple’s opportunity for Core Formation lay here, in the Eastern Desolation Plateau and its desert.
