Shi Feiyang spent most of his time over half a year on Wutai Mountain compiling the "Taiyin Hunyuan Scripture." The main body of this scripture was still Wutai Sect's original Dharma Collection, with the addition of the Golden Slips and Jade Pages brought by Fang Ying and Yuan Hao. Shi Feiyang integrated and reorganized them, and he added some of his own elements.

The content of the book was profound and comprehensive, serving not only as the "textbook" for future disciples of the Wutai Sect but also as something that Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor, Xu Feiniang, and Sikong Zhan needed to study and comprehend diligently, especially the parts concerning the Dao. The levels of understanding among the three varied, as did the insights they each gleaned.

Shi Feiyang handed over the Chi You Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword to Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor, instructing him to be careful in its sacrificial refinement and to avoid using it unless necessary. If it must be used, the seals should not be easily broken.

He particularly cautioned, "In ancient times, the Human Emperor pioneered the primordial world when the Dao was profound but the skills were lacking. Thus, observing the Heavenly Dao, a hundred arts and a thousand skills were derived. Now, with our advanced Daoist skills but shallow Dao, various alchemy and artifact refining spells are thriving—almost boundlessly.

The Dao is the essence, and skills are its application; possessing Dao without skill is but a waste with lofty eyes and low hands, while skill without Dao belongs to the hearts of Evil Demons with ill intentions. We have far surpassed the period of the Three Emperors in the innovative application of spells and treasures. The key is to retrieve the original teachings of the Dao, to promote both Dao and skill in concert, to have both roots and fruits—that is the correct path."

His words not only set the goals and direction for the future of Wutai Sect but also pointed out the key to subduing Chi You to Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor.

Compared to Chi You, Shi Feiyang's Dao was insufficient, but his skills far surpassed him. After all, Chi You was a figure from thousands of years ago when "skill applications" were still very primitive and simple. Not every one of the ancient treasures could surpass the later refined treasures. Most of the swords and weapons in the Golden Ship were not as good as the later Flying Swords, except for the better quality ones made by pooling the efforts of a nation, which still required re-refinement before use.

He advised Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor to play to his strengths and address his weaknesses, as this would give him a chance of victory.

Afterwards, Shi Feiyang left Wutai Mountain and returned to Tianjin first.

Upon reaching Mingyu Immortal Market, his disciples congratulated him on the great success of his sword refining.

Jiang Shu also arrived, not to offer congratulations, but with concerns he expressed indirectly, cautioning against frivolous involvement with magic.

He too was conflicted; not mentioning it might result in Shi Feiyang becoming demonized in the future, yet saying it might cause Shi Feiyang to feel resentment or aversion. Thus, he spoke hesitantly.

Shi Feiyang smiled at his brother, sensing his care, and walked over to pat his shoulder, "Don't worry, the Three Emperors Dao that I cultivate allows me to control all demons, humans, and ghosts. They are all creations of the Dao; the Dao births them, and virtue nurtures them. I shepherd them with virtue, employ them, control them, and use them. As they circulate without end, we shall endure forever!"

Jiang Shu opened his mouth, as if wanting to say something, but in the end, he only managed to squeeze out, "If that's what you say, I don't know what to comment... Anyway, I won't touch it."

"Mm, don't you touch it, it's enough that I do."

Shi Feiyang gathered information about increasing warmth and rainfall from the Snow Mountain and Qingcheng Sects. In his absence, these tasks proceeded in an orderly fashion. Ling Hun and Jiang Shu were conservative, not daring to contend too much with heaven and earth.

The ice front never advanced past the Yellow River, constantly seesawing between the south of the Yellow River and the north of the Huai River.

The precipitation was only enough to ensure that the North did not experience large-scale droughts.

However, Shi Feiyang had previously caused significant rainfall in the Tarim Basin, creating tens of thousands of lakes of various sizes, which altered the local climate to some extent, making the winters less cold and the summers less hot. The glaciers on the surrounding mountains began to melt.

This also affected the Northwest Region, with rivers such as the Yellow River and Wei River receiving abundant water, and the flowers, trees, and grasses planted on the Yellow Earth Plateau began to grow wildly. Many areas that were once yellow turned green.

In addition to these matters in Central Earth, there was also overseas trade.

Three large ships made annual trips to and from the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, once in between, bringing a wealth of precious raw materials and taking back various exquisite items from Central Earth.

The craftsmen of Central Earth were indeed impressive, creating all sorts of unimaginable artworks with materials from overseas. Even with carving alone, they brought forth a myriad of wonders with jade carving, bone carving, wood carving, glue boiling, lacquer mixing, porcelain firing...

Currently, a varnish made from the sap of a tree from Outer Heaven Divine Mountain has emerged in Central Earth. By adding different materials, lacquers of various colors were made, producing dazzling and colorful lacquerware.

More than seventy kinds of tree glue were also refined for making various tubes, soft bottles, and the like.

Feathers of various exotic seabirds were used to make Diancui (Kingfisher Feather) ornaments or spun into fluffy yarn to make fireproof and waterproof clothes.

Many demons also sailed to Central Earth, asking local craftsmen to carve raw Magical Treasure bases for them, such as a nine-story Bone Tower with hollow interiors, doors and windows that could open and close, stairs leading up and down, and various Talismans on the inner walls; the outside incrusted with gemstones. Such intricate work was mostly beyond the demons' capabilities.

Meanwhile, numerous accidents occurred, like when an Evil Path Demon Human attempted to hijack ships and seize treasures at sea, only to be beaten to dust by the accompanying demon soldiers, and their Primordial Spirits were captured and sold in the Immortal Market. There were also those who tried to cause chaos or engage in theft and fraud in Mingyu Immortal Market, who were also killed, and their Primordial Spirits put up for sale in the market.

The number of people trading in the Immortal Market surged, with both immortals and mortals increasing in large numbers. Many knights from Jianghu also brought silver coins to buy Treasure Sabers and treasure swords.

After handling various secular affairs, Shi Feiyang began his closed-door cultivation.
