It's not easy to achieve this. Gao Xuan has visited the capital a few times; he extracts a complete fragment of time and space from his memory and recreates everything with the Yin Yang Creation Technique. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The people stared at everything before them, each one dumbfounded.

After a while, someone summoned the courage to step forward for a closer look. All the furnishings in the house were restored as if there had never been a flood disaster.

The people couldn't understand the logic behind it, but they were very accepting. They quickly accepted this reality. Many were so overwhelmed that they cried on the spot.

Someone was the first to kneel to the ground and loudly praised, thanking the Divine. Some also took the opportunity to pray, hoping the Divine could resurrect their deceased relatives.

Though the voices were not loud, Tao Jun, the National Preceptor, heard them very clearly. He felt a bit awkward because he knew very well that not even a Celestial Immortal, or Gao Xuan, could easily resurrect the dead.

Just restoring the destroyed buildings to their former state was already an unbelievable, supreme divine technique.

Tao Jun sincerely said to Gao Xuan, "Celestial Master, your good deed saved hundreds of thousands of people."

It was deep autumn, without housing to keep warm, not knowing how many people would freeze or starve to death.

Gao Xuan not only restored the collapsed buildings from the flood but also brought back the grain stores that were washed away. With the granaries stocked with grain, it was enough for the capital to survive until next year.

This act was truly a resurrection of countless lives.

Truthfully speaking, Ao Ying causing the Bai Cang River to flood the capital resulted in great destruction. Tao Jun felt some resentment towards Gao Xuan.

At the root, this matter was brought about due to Gao Xuan. Ironically, when the opponent came for revenge, Gao Xuan was nowhere to be found.

The bitter fruit had to be borne by Wuyuan Country.

The small Wuyuan Country suffered such a great disaster, nearing extinction.

By the time Gao Xuan returned, displaying divine techniques to resurrect his arm and restore the capital, Tao Jun suddenly realized that this matter couldn't be blamed on Gao Xuan.

His resentment towards Gao Xuan was actually due to his fear of Ao Ying; he could only vent his anger on Gao Xuan.

Seeing Gao Xuan in person, his resentment disappeared. It boiled down to his excessive weakness, not daring to oppose the strong.

Gao Xuan wasn't aware of Tao Jun's thoughts; at this moment, what Tao Jun thought was insignificant.

He asked Tao Jun, "Where is Ao Ying?"

Tao Jun instinctively lowered his head, "Ao Ying said she would wait for you at the Daqiong River. If you don't show up, she'll flood the two major rivers every year, demanding the people on their banks pay for her brother's life..."

"Quite bold, indeed."

Gao Xuan said indifferently, "I initially didn't plan to escalate things, but if she chooses to seek her end, I won't hold back."

Tao Jun heard Gao Xuan's hostile tone and hastily persuaded, "Celestial Master, Ao Ying is backed by the North Sea Dragon Palace. The North Sea, South Sea, East Sea, and West Sea dragon races are united. Although your Divine Power is unmatched, there's no need to oppose all dragon races..."

Considering Gao Xuan's divine techniques, the North Sea Dragon Palace might not be his match. However, the Dragon Race is highly united.

The Four Seas Dragon Race has at least dozens of True Dragons, equivalent to Human Immortal-level powerhouses.

Due to their innate strength, dragons at the same level of Dao Practice possess combat strength far superior to all other races.

Moreover, dragons have a long lifespan. The Four Sea Dragon Kings are ancient fellows who have lived for tens of thousands of years.

More frighteningly, the dragons of the Cyan Celestial Realm have close ties with the dragons of the Upper Realm.

If Gao Xuan were to start a war with the North Sea Dragon Race, it would mean provoking the entire dragon race.

Tao Jun hated Ao Ying but didn't want Gao Xuan to truly form a deep enmity with the dragon race. The best approach now is to exhibit strength, intimidating the North Sea Dragon Race.

The dragons, although arrogant, are not insane. If they sense they can't win, they likely won't risk their lives for Ao Qiong against Gao Xuan.

Tao Jun, knowing that his words were light, looked toward the Celestial Fool, signaling for him to advise Gao Xuan.

If Gao Xuan were to cause major trouble, not only would he suffer, but everyone else would suffer as well.

However, the Celestial Fool ignored Tao Jun's signals; he said to Gao Xuan, "Would the Celestial Master please accompany me to the Qiong River. Ao Ying is arrogant and violent, harming our sect disciples and afflicting millions of people, she must face accountability."

Of course, he couldn't be an enemy of all the North Sea Dragon Race.

But the matter couldn't be just settled like that.

Having been guided by Gao Xuan and honed his skills fighting numerous demons in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons for half a year, the Celestial Fool's cultivation had greatly advanced. He certainly wasn't afraid of Ao Ying.

The Celestial Fool also believed Gao Xuan would be prudent. Gao Xuan's wisdom was profound; he definitely wouldn't act recklessly.

As for the nonsense about not being enemies with the dragon race, who was going to convince otherwise? Gao Xuan understood such simple reasoning.

Gao Xuan nodded, "You go back to the Qiong River first. Tell Ao Ying that I'll arrive in ten days."

With Gao Xuan's word, the Celestial Fool paid his respects and left first. He was also eager to see the situation in Qiong Country.

After the Celestial Fool left, Gao Xuan said to Tao Jun, "Friend, please return to resolve the flood disasters on the two banks and quickly handle post-disaster resettlement."

"Yes, I shall patrol the banks and swiftly settle the displaced people."

Tao Jun, though shrewd, was still somewhat responsible. Having received offerings from Wuyuan Country for hundreds of years, he didn't shy away from exerting effort when needed.

"If there's a shortage of food, timber, or other supplies, just let me know..."

Gao Xuan made things clear before heading back to Biyun Peak with Ripples.

The destroyed Biyun Peak immediately restored under his Yin Yang Creation Technique.

With the autumn breeze, countless golden chrysanthemums wafted their fragrance in waves carried by the wind.

The old Celestial Master Temple on the mountaintop, complemented by the golden chrysanthemums, gained a mysterious and ethereal aura.

Qingfeng and Ming Yue, the two child-like magical artifacts of the Celestial Master Temple, were naturally destroyed, but Gao Xuan could easily recreate such low-tier spiritual artifacts.

Qingfeng and Ming Yue didn't remember what happened; seeing Gao Xuan return, they hurriedly greeted him.

Ripples, feeling a bit sympathetic, patted the heads of the two child-like artifacts, sighing softly.

Though they were identical artifacts, even having the same habits, memories, and personalities as the previously destroyed ones, the dead artifacts were still gone.

After sending the children away, Ripples couldn't resist saying to Gao Xuan, "Master, that Ao Ying is too despicable; she deserves to be killed."

"Indeed, she deserves death."

Gao Xuan said, "I kept the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword untouched to decide after assessing the situation. Unexpectedly, the opponent was foolish and arrogant, leaving me no choice but to act."

The Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword seized from Ao Qiong was thrown into the Profound Nether Curse Sea of the Hongyi Sword by Gao Xuan.

For Gao Xuan, the most important aspect of the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword was the Ice Law within. Before fully analyzing it, forcibly merging the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword wasn't necessary.

Especially since he had acquired the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light and learned the Five Elements Law. Coupled with the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw, which was deeply profound, he invested much energy in this area, leaving no time to deal with the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword.

As a result, Ao Ying's actions shattered any thoughts of reconciliation.

The Divine Beings are indeed formidable, but they shouldn't be so arrogant and vicious.

Both are powerful immortal deities, having grudges and seeking revenge. Attacking innocent people is low-level behavior, small-mindedness, and extremely destructive.

Such a dragon race doesn't deserve to live.

Gao Xuan said to Ripples, "Protect me while I refine the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword, then we'll annihilate the dragon race."

Ripples was greatly invigorated; she nodded forcefully, "Rest assured, Master, with me guarding, no one can intrude..."
